Floating Life Half Awake GL

The next day, at a similar time, Xia Lan brought over a plate of fresh pastries.

This time, Cen Nan found that the sweetness of the pastry was just right for her taste, and it was soft and delicious, so she ate several pieces at once, while Xia Lan sat beside her and watched her eat with a smile, reminding her to eat slowly , handing her water.

Xu Shi felt that he ate too much at once, and Cen Nan felt a little embarrassed after eating.

"What's wrong? Are you choking?"

Seeing that she stopped suddenly, Xia Lan had a strange expression on her face, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to gently follow her back.

"Cough cough", for some reason, he actually choked.

"Slow down, eat slowly, come, drink water"

His face, which was already flushed from choking, suddenly turned even redder when he saw the water that Xia Lan handed to his mouth.

"Thanks, thank you, I'll just, cough, come by myself"

Cen Nan raised his hand to hold the cup of tea that was brought to his lips, but Xia Lan didn't let go, so their hands overlapped like this.

"Come on, drink slowly"

After drinking the glass of water, Cen Nan finally recovered slowly.

"How do you feel, feel better?"

Xia Lan frowned slightly, holding the silk scarf with her jade hand, and gently wiped away the tears coughed up from the corners of Cen Nan's eyes, as well as the water stains on the corners of her lips.

Cen Nan lowered his head in embarrassment, "It's much better."

Just then, Maner came in.

"Princess Wang, the person has already arrived and is waiting in the front hall."

Xia Lan nodded slightly, then looked at Cen Nandao gently with lowered eyebrows, "Nan'er, I want to buy some new clothes for you, can you follow me to see what style you like?".

"Good~"

"Princess arrives~"

"Military women Qin and Gu have seen the princess"

"No need to be too polite, please get up"

Cen Nan came out from behind Xia Lan, and when he raised his eyes, he froze in place. This is not what he saw on the street that day...

Although she had expected this to happen a long time ago, Xia Lan couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Cen Nan's eyes filled with tears but desperately trying to bear it. She squatted down and said softly, "Nan'er, let's go there first. Can you sit down?"

Cen Nan came back to his senses, nodded lightly, and then Xia Lan led her to the right seat and sat down, while Xia Lan sat on the left seat.

Seeing that Cen Nan's expression was quite normal, Xia Lan shifted her gaze to Qin Shi and Gu Shi below.

"I have heard that the two of you are good at needlework and embroidery. This time, I invite you to come here because I want to ask you to sew some new clothes for our Nan'er."

"Thanks to the concubine, I am ashamed to be a housewife." Qin shi slightly lowered her head, and replied with a humble and polite manner.

After sitting down, Cen Nan kept looking at Qin Shi like this, like, indeed, she looked like her mother, but she looked much younger than her mother, without so many wrinkles on her face.

It's no wonder that her family should be well-to-do, unlike their family, her mother has been working very hard in order to bring her up, so she looks much older than her peers.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but start to sore again. The emotions that he had been trying to suppress before seemed to explode at any time. Cen Nan couldn't help turning his head to the other side, and his hands hidden in the wide cuffs couldn't help clenching into fists.

Until a touch of coolness suddenly attached to the back of his hand, Cen Nan flinched suddenly, and a tear fell like this. He turned his head slowly, and saw Xia Lan squatting in front of him at some point, with eyes that seemed to be able to melt ice and snow. With a warm smile, he was looking at her softly.

"Nan'er, would you like them to measure your size?" Xia Lan naturally reached out and wiped the tear on Cen Nan's cheek as she spoke, as if she didn't see it, and didn't say a word about it.

Feeling the coolness in his hands, and looking at Xia Lan's extraordinarily soft eyes, Cen Nan felt that his heart, which was tense to the point of suffocation, suddenly relaxed, and his whole body was no longer tense due to forbearance. , nodded gently, "OK".

"Old Madam Qin, please take a measurement for Nan'er. Madam Gu, please choose the color of the fabric together with me."

So, Xia Lan and the second daughter of the Gu family went to the side to choose the color and style of the fabric, while Cen Nan stood there, watching Qin Sang walk in front of her, first saluted her, and then squatted down .

"Miss Nan'er, the housewife will measure for you."

Cen Nan came back to his senses, "Then there will be trouble, Aunt Qin."

Hearing this, Qin Sang hurriedly knelt down, showing fear, "Miss Nan'er offended the women, and the women dare not."

Cen Nan was stunned by Qin Sang's sudden kneeling, he seemed to be in disbelief, but also sad, mixed with some sense of loss and self-blame.

After reacting, Cen Nan quickly stretched out his small hand to support Qin Sang's arm, as if trying to pull him up.

"Aunt Qin, don't be like this"

But Cen Nan forgot that she was still so young, how could she have the strength to lift up a person who insisted on kneeling.

"The women are terrified, how dare you bother Miss Nan'er to help the women get up?"

Cen Nan had no choice but to look at Xia Lan for help, but before she could speak, Xia Lan walked over and put his hand on Qin's arm.

"Old Madam Qin please hurry up, Nan'er calls you Aunt Qin, how can I make you kneel down to her?"

"Princess, Housewives"

"Ma'am, don't need to say too much, everything can be done according to Nan'er's wishes."

Although Qin Sang never forgot the difference in status and tried his best to abide by the etiquette of respect and inferiority, but when measuring the size of Cen Nan's clothes, Cen Nan saw that he was kind-hearted and soft-spoken. A kind, kind person, just like her mother.

After measuring the size and choosing the fabric, Xia Lan accompanied Cen Nan to send the two of them out of the gate of the palace. Give it a try, and make sure it's suitable before doing anything else.

"Princess, Miss Nan'er, please stay behind."

Xia Lan smiled gently, and slightly lowered her head to look at the little man in her hand.

"Aunt Qin, walk slowly"

After hearing the words, the two saluted again, then turned around and got on the sedan chair to leave.

Cen Nan watched the sedan chair walk away slowly until Xia Lan's gentle words rang in his ears.

"Nan'er, it's time for lunch, let's go back"

Hearing this, Cen Nan raised his head and met Xia Lan's eyes that seemed to hide thousands of stars.

"Thank you, sister Lan"

After saying that, Cen Nan took Xia Lan's hand and walked into the palace. Xia Lan, who was in a daze, suddenly recovered from such a pull, and subconsciously raised his heels.

However, following the small hand held in the palm of his hand, he went up and looked at Cen Nan's small but stubborn figure. Thinking of just now, there was a clear flash in those black and bright eyes. There is a look of gratitude.

So, Nan'er, she, can see everything that happened today...

Obviously, I tried my best to let the two meet each other in this natural way, but Nan'er could still see it. Xia Lan didn't feel a little happy about such a transparent mind or cleverness, but felt deeply Distressed.

How much experience does it take to develop such a clear heart, obviously it's just a child.

夜

Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Leng Zongmu, who was sitting by the bed, looked up and saw Xia Lan who was walking into the inner room.

"Lan'er, you're back"

Xia Lan was a little surprised, "How come the third brother hasn't gone to bed yet."

"What did Lan'er say?" Leng Zongmu got up and went to help Xia Lan take off his coat, "Of course I'm waiting for you to come with me."

Xia Lan smiled softly, seemingly helpless and shy, "Didn't I tell you to sleep first?"

"How is it, Nan'er, is she asleep?"

Seeing Leng Zongmu's appetizing expression, Xia Lan couldn't help but smile, "I've already fallen asleep, look at you, is this eating in Nan'er again?".

"Even if I say yes, Lan'er won't love her less because of it." Leng Zongmu sighed, with the tone of being abandoned.

"Heh~", Xia Lan couldn't help chuckling, "I'm talking about Nan'er, I found that since Nan'er came, you, third brother, are becoming more and more like a child."

"No way", Leng Zongmu refused to admit it, and quickly changed the subject, "Nan'er seems to be much more cheerful these days than before."

"En", Xia Lan nodded, indeed, since Qin Sang came to the mansion that day, Cen Nan seemed to be in a much better mood than before.

"Looks like it's our Lan'er's credit again."

"By the way, how's the injury on third brother's body?"

"Well, it's almost better."

When he was at the bottom of the valley earlier, Cen Nan got up early every day, and then rode sweet potatoes for a stroll in the forest, which had become a habit.

Since coming to the palace, although the sweet potatoes were not around, Cen Nan would still get up early every day, and then go for a run in the back garden to exercise his muscles and bones.

In the early morning of this day, just as Cen Nan came back from wandering around the back garden, he heard a low and powerful sound of breaking wind from the courtyard. Following the sound, he saw Leng Zongmu practicing sword in the courtyard.

Wearing a close-fitting black robe, holding a silver sword about three fingers wide, wherever the eyes can see, the long sword pierces the sky, and the low-pitched humming sound comes into the ears through the air, The sound is not loud but it shakes people's hearts.

It's not as ethereal and elegant as the ones I've seen on TV in the past, it's as beautiful as a celestial maiden scattered flowers, with little momentum, every move seems simple, but in fact the attack is fierce, the defense is tight, and more importantly, just looking at it feels majestic.

Leng Zongmu knew about it when Cen Nan stepped into the courtyard, but he didn't stop. The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, one continued to dance the sword, and the other quietly watched from the sidelines.

Until the sword was sheathed, Leng Zongmu turned around neatly, smiling and looking at the little man who was standing in the corridor.

Cen Nan walked into the courtyard along the stone steps, raised his hands and saluted Leng Zongmu respectfully, "Cen Nan has something to ask, and I hope Brother Leng will fulfill it."

"Oh?" Leng Zongmu took a dry cloth towel and walked to Cen Nan while wiping the sweat off his face, "Tell me first."

Cen Nan raised his head, his dark eyes were full of determination.

"I want to ask Brother Leng to teach me martial arts"
