Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

"Here." He took out a small oil-paper bag from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her.

Anan took it and saw that it was neatly wrapped in oil paper without a trace of moisture. When he opened it, it turned out to be a piece of snow-white, fragrant and glutinous cloud cake!

She hadn't eaten cloud cake since she came to Jinyun Manor. She was very surprised. She looked up at him and smiled, "Where did you get it from?"

Jinyun smiled and said, "Today I went to the city to prepare some medicinal vegetables, and the shopkeeper insisted on treating me to a meal. There was a large table of food for two people. I saw that the Panyun cake on the table had not been touched, so I packed it up and brought it back. Xiao Shi has a toothache recently and can't eat it, so I thought it would not be wasted, so I sent it to you!"

At this point, he looked at her with a smile and asked cautiously, "You don't mind, do you?"

Anan took a piece and put it in her mouth. The sweet and soft taste made her feel good. She couldn't help laughing. When she looked up, Jinyun was looking down at her and smiling.

His handsome face was stained with moisture, and a large area of ​​his beige robe was wet, sticking to his chest, revealing the faint lines of his muscles. His hair, which was usually combed meticulously, was now disheveled and stuck wetly to his fair neck. Seeing this, Anan suddenly thought of the phrase "lotus emerging from water".

"Wipe it." Anan jumped up and supported himself on the table, took out a handkerchief and handed it to him. He thought to himself that it was really eye-opening to see a man this beautiful, and it was no wonder that someone was blinded by lust.

Jinyun was not polite. He took the handkerchief with a smile and wiped the rain off his head slowly.

Two people, one was inside the window, the other was outside the window, one was leisurely eating cloud cake, the other was leisurely wiping his hair, and they were talking intermittently.

"How did it become like this?"

"Everything was fine when I left the city, but suddenly it started to rain so hard that even the raincoat couldn't stop it."

"Go back and change your clothes early, or you might catch a cold."

"Miss Nan has a cruel heart. I haven't even eaten the cloud cake I brought her yet, and you're kicking me out now? At least let me wait outside the window until the rain stops!"

"Won't you eat something?"

······

Anan ate most of the cloud cake with hot tea, and wrapped the rest up and put it in the cabinet. The rain gradually stopped, Jinyun stretched out his hand outside the corridor, and asked with a smile: "How about I get some medicinal wine and massage your ankle for you?"

Anan laughed and said, "Don't bother me anymore! Aunt Yu just came over and burned some wine to rub my feet. She almost burned the mattress!"

Jinyun also laughed and looked up at the sky. The dark clouds dispersed and the moon showed a round face. He stared at it in a trance and kept reminding himself: "Your foot is injured. Don't walk around for a few days. Take good care of yourself and don't let the root of the disease develop."

"Yes." Anan responded, also looking at the moon, his voice muffled.

Jinyun collected his scattered thoughts and looked back to see her staring at the moon stupidly.

Under the bright moonlight, Anan's beautiful face was set off by her snow-white skin that was as smooth as a baby's. Her eyes seemed to be full of infinite spirit and she was so beautiful that Jinyun felt his heart skip a beat. He forgot everything else for a moment and stared at her in a trance.

The raindrops were dense, and there was only a circle of fence separating the inside and outside of the courtyard, and the moonlight inside the courtyard was beautiful.

He stood for a long time on the dark, damp and bumpy path outside the yard, looking at the two people in the yard from afar.

Watching the two of them chatting happily and easily, silently like a pair of fairies under the moon, he felt his mouth dry and his heart upset. He turned around silently. Jiuling said nothing, put away his umbrella, and quickly followed.
