Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 263 Personal Affair
The team moved forward along the official road, and five days later it was time to detoxify Xiao Wang.

They stayed overnight at the inn that night. After Xiao Wang took a medicinal bath and changed into clean, loose pajamas, he deliberately opened all the doors and windows so that the smell of medicine in the house could dissipate as soon as possible.

There was a knock on the door. Xiao Wang turned his head and saw Yan Ciwan standing outside the door. He immediately said, "Come in."

After Yan Ci Wan came in, Xiao Wang closed the doors and windows, and then sat on the bed. With the experience of the previous times, this time he took the initiative to open his clothes and completely exposed his chest without Yan Ci Wan saying anything. However, because the clothes were not completely taken off, they were half hanging on his arms, which made people couldn't help but give rise to reveries.

But he himself did not seem to think there was anything wrong with this. His demeanor was as dignified as a god, and his eyes and brows were full of indifference and peace.

Yan Ciwan coughed lightly, tried hard to shift his gaze away from his chest, and spoke in a pretentious manner.

"I'm going to start."

Xiao Wang nodded slightly: "Yeah."

Yan Ciwan raised his hands and gently placed his palms on Xiao Wang's chest.

She had just been outside in the night breeze, and her fingertips felt a little cold. The coolness touched her skin, making Xiao Wang involuntarily tense her body.

Yan Ciwan clearly felt the muscles under her hands becoming very hard, and she couldn't help but touch them, but she soon realized what she had done and was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

She tried her best to maintain her outward composure, closed her eyes and pretended nothing had happened, and began to practice the Art of Immortality, transferring her inner strength to the other party bit by bit.

She silently told herself that as long as she was not embarrassed, the other person would be embarrassed.

In the guest room next door, Jiang Tingyue had already coaxed her two children to sleep. She walked to the wall and put her ear against it, trying to listen to what was going on in the next room.

Seeing this, Xiao Xi reminded him in a low voice: "Don't do this. It will be bad if others find out."

Jiang Tingyue felt a little embarrassed.

She naturally knew that eavesdropping was immoral, but she was too curious.

She said to her husband, "There are only Liu Lang and Ning Ci in the next room. It's late at night, a man and a woman are alone in the same room. It's easy for something to go wrong."

Xiao Qi was putting on his pajamas, and he spoke as he tied the belt.

"Liu Lang's situation is special. Ning Ci is trying to save him. Don't let your imagination run wild."

When Jiang Tingyue saw her husband like this, she knew that he definitely didn't realize Xiao Wang's feelings for Ning Ci, so she walked up to Xiao Qi, helped him tidy up his pajamas, and said.

"You and I are both experienced people, can't you see it? Liu Lang looks at that Lady Ning in a special way."

Xiao Xi had never really thought about the relationship between a man and a woman. He asked half-doubtingly, "You mean, between the two of them..."

Originally, when he saw Xiao Wang taking special care of Ning Ci, he thought that he wanted Ning Ci to help him detoxify. Now it seems that he thought things were too simple.

"I don't know what Ning Ci is thinking, but Liu Lang must have some feelings in his mind. Although Liu Lang has always been very restrained and polite, at his age, he is full of vigor and vitality. Tell me, if it were you, facing the woman you like alone, wouldn't you have the slightest bit of romantic thoughts?"

Xiao Yu immediately distanced himself from the matter: "Just talk about Liu Lang, why are you dragging me into this? You are the only woman in my heart."

Jiang Tingyue pursed her lips and smiled: "I was just making an analogy, why are you so sensitive?"

Xiao Qie coughed lightly and said, "I'll go down and talk to Liu Lang to see what he thinks."

Jiang Tingyue nodded and agreed.

……

Half an hour later, Yan Ciwan retracted his hand, ending the detoxification.

She felt warmth in her palms, and the temperature around her seemed to be higher than when she first came in. She had to go out and get some fresh air as soon as possible to clear her brain, so she stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Wang called her. Yan Ciwan looked at him and saw that his clothes were thrown on his arms, his white chest was exposed under the candlelight, and the thin layer of muscle showed a warm luster.

She tried hard to maintain her expression so as not to appear vulgar and obscene in the other person's eyes.

"Anything else?"

"I have something to give you." Xiao Wang said as he slowly pulled up his clothes.

He took out something from under the pillow. It was a silver hairpin of simple and unique shape, with a swallow flapping its wings as if about to fly carved on both ends of the hairpin.

Yan Ciwan had seen him polishing this silver hairpin with his own hands. At that time, she thought he made it for himself, but she didn't expect that he was going to give it to her.

"I can't accept the reward without merit."

"You helped me detoxify. It's such a great favor. But a mere silver hairpin cannot express my gratitude to you at all. I hope you will accept it."

Yan Ciwan reached out to take the silver hairpin and found that it was heavier than expected.

Xiao Wang pointed at the swallow tails at both ends of the silver hairpin and said, "Pick this up."

Only then did Yan Ciwan discover that the swallow's tail could actually move.

When the tail was moved, the silver hairpin split in half and turned into two exquisite knives.

Yan Ciwan's eyes lit up immediately: "How wonderful!"

Xiao Wang knew that she would like this design. He smiled and said, "This is specially made for you. If you encounter an emergency, you can use it. The blade is already sharpened. You have to be careful not to get scratched."

Yan Ciwan put the two knives together, and it immediately turned back into the appearance of a silver hairpin.

She touched the silver hairpin lovingly: "Thank you, I will use it well."

Xiao Wang carved two characters the size of rice grains on the side of the silver hairpin, which were his courtesy name, Wujiu.

He asked, "Would you like to try it on and see?"

"Okay!"

Yan Ciwan sat down in front of the bronze mirror, let her hair down, wrapped it around a silver hairpin, and quickly braided it into a simple bun.

She looked from left to right in the bronze mirror, and became more and more satisfied.

She stood up and looked at Xiao Wang, and asked with a smile: "How is it?"

Xiao Wang looked at the silver hairpin on her head, which had his courtesy name engraved on it. In other words, he was secretly leaving his mark on her.

He felt a secret joy in his heart and praised sincerely.

"It suits you very well. It looks good."

Yan Ciwan raised her hand and touched her hair, smiling with her eyes curved, looking very happy.

Now she no longer needs to use a cane to walk, but she still walks with a limp. However, she is happy and her steps when she walks out are somewhat brisk.

Not long after she left, someone knocked on the door again, and then Xiao Qi walked in.

Xiao Wang had already put on his clothes. He asked, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet, brother?"

Xiao Yu had never dealt with the love affairs of children before and had no experience in such matters. He didn't know how to convey his meaning in a subtle way. After hesitating for a moment, he simply spoke frankly and asked directly.

"Have you and Ning Ci already had a secret relationship?"
