"Who apologizes like this?" Yuan Xu lifted the curtain of the tent and walked out, holding his hands proudly and looking very angry.

Helan Xuenuo grinned dryly.

I thought, it’s over! Yuan Xu heard the following words.

Helan Xuenuo hesitated while holding Rabbit Brother in her arms. She wanted to say something but couldn't open her mouth. She felt very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Yuan Xu's face relaxed a bit, "Okay, I'm not angry with you, how dare I be angry with you."

"Also, you said that this big white rabbit was for me? Why would you want to give me such a small thing?" Yuan Xu walked to Helan Xuenuo and reached out to stroke the rabbit in her arms, with rare gentleness.

Helan Xuenuo breathed a sigh of relief. Yuan Xu had never been angry with her for too long since he was a child. So many years had passed, and he hadn't changed. She was just overthinking it.

She teased, "You don't want it?"

"How can you take back something you gave away?" Yuan Xu grabbed Rabbit Brother and held him tightly in his arms, then walked into the big tent.

He reached out to open the curtain, turned around to look at Helan Xuenuo, and seeing that she was still standing there motionless, he signaled with his eyes, "What are you standing there for?"

Yuan Xu did not lower the curtain until Helan Xuenuo walked into the tent, then he lowered it and followed behind her.

The little rabbit in his arms lay obediently in his arms, allowing him to caress it, its two blood-red eyes narrowed, looking extremely comfortable.

Helan Xuenuo sat on the ground on an animal skin blanket, and a servant beside her poured her a cup of tea.

She picked it up and tasted it carefully, then exclaimed, "Good tea."

Yuan Xu said proudly, "Of course, this is Golden Crow tea, grown in a remote cold land. There's only one plant, and only one jar of leaves is harvested each year. I had a hard time getting this jar."

"It's been ruined in your hands." Helan Xuenuo took a sip of it even more cherishingly after hearing it. The tea was slightly bitter with a hint of sweetness, and its mouth was filled with fragrance.

"What do you mean? I treated you to such expensive tea, but you don't know how to appreciate it."

"I didn't expect your little place had such precious tea hidden away. If I had known, I would have come here earlier to ask for a cup. But Golden Crow tea shouldn't be brewed like this. It's a waste of it."

"So how do you make it?"

"It comes from an extremely cold place, so cold and pure that it must be brewed with the morning dew. Water without roots is the purest. Clean tea with clean water, the brewed Golden Crow tea can be called the best tea in the world."

Yuan Xu saw that Helan Xuenuo's eyes were shining when she talked about tea. He was a little immersed in it and found it particularly interesting to listen to her talk about it.

Helan Xuenuo saw that Yuan Xu seemed to be distracted, so she waved her hand and said, "Idiot, what are you thinking about? Are you so engrossed in your thoughts?"

Yuan Xu came back to his senses and said, "If you ask me, the morning dew is just a bunch of crap. To me, any kind of tea is the same. I think this cup right now is the best tea."

He raised his teacup, took a sip, and nodded, "Good tea."

Helan Xuenuo couldn't help but smile when she saw a few red scars on Yuan Xu's arms under his sleeves. Yesterday she thought Yuan Xu's clothes were only injured, but it turned out that his arms were also injured.

She frowned and said, "That bear was very aggressive yesterday, wasn't he?"

Yuan Xu avoided his gaze and asked, "What bear?"

"Stop pretending. Doing good deeds without leaving your name behind is a waste of effort. When did you learn that? You're acting like a girl."

Yuan Xu said nothing.

She asked again, "Is there any ointment?"

Yuan Xu looked worried and asked anxiously, "What ointment? Are you injured?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? Just bring it when I tell you to."

Yuan Xu quickly asked the servant beside him to bring the medicine box. The medicine box was very simple, and each layer was basically ointment for scar removal, but the style of the box was slightly different.

Helan Xuenuo picked up the boxes and picked one at random. She said to Yuan Xu in a deep voice, "Give me your arm."

Yuan Xu wondered, "What are you going to do?" He looked down at his arm and saw the scars. Only then did he understand Helan Xuenuo's nonsensical behavior.

A subtle ripple appeared at the corner of his mouth. The servant took the rabbit from his hand, and he handed his arm to Helan Xuenuo, saying stubbornly, "I'm a grown man, what's there to be afraid of with a minor injury? There's no need to apply these ointments."

He Lanxue said seriously, "Don't talk too much. After applying the medicine, come with me to catch prey. I still want the West King Bow. If you lose it, I will not forgive you."

Although her words were harsh, Helan Xuenuo's fingers were gentle as she applied the medicine to him, as if she was afraid of hurting Yuan Xu. The cold ointment and the softness of her fingertips touched the wound, but Yuan Xu didn't feel any pain.

He didn't dare breathe heavily, fearing that breathing would cause the blood vessels in his arms to bleed faster.

Looking at Helan Xuenuo applying medicine to him carefully, with her head slightly lowered and her eyelashes slightly curled, she seemed like two different people compared to her usual fierce self.

After applying the medicine, Helan Xuenuo put the ointment back into the medicine box and looked at Yuan Xu with a smile.

Yuan Xu was confused. Looking at Helan Xuenuo's thoughtful eyes, Helan Xuenuo said, "Why are you standing there? Come with me and go hunting."

Yuan Xu smiled, but Helan Xuenuo remained the same, still fierce.

Before leaving, Yuan Xu called out to a soldier guarding the door, "Li An, help me find some grass to feed the big white rabbit inside."

Li An nodded in response.

Li An was the palace soldier who was held hostage by the female assassin in Yuan Mansion that day. After that incident, Yuan Xu felt that Li An was a good candidate, so he promoted him and made him a personal soldier to follow him.

Now Yuan Xu is also a general, so he has to cultivate a few trustworthy people around him. Li An was chosen by accident.

After finishing the explanation, Yuan Xu and Helan Xuenuo left.

Today, the two of them cooperated very well and hunted fifteen wild boars, ten deer, and unexpectedly caught a tiger.

In order to hunt down the tiger, they actually cheated. They used the stunning bullet given by Yuan Xu's grandfather to knock the tiger unconscious before they could hunt it down.

Helan Xuenuo was extremely happy. If nothing unexpected happened, the bear and the tiger would have guaranteed her the crown.

"Why didn't you use this precious thing earlier?"

"I stole it from my grandfather. Besides, it's cheating. If you're caught, you'll lose your crown."

They returned with a full load, and the two of them rode their horses back to the big tent in the sunset. Yuan Xu rode very slowly, and Helan Xuenuo followed slowly beside him.

As they approached the main tent, Yuan Xu's horse slowed down even more. Helan Xuenuo grumbled, "Your horse is so slow today? Even walking is faster than running."

Yuan Xu replied calmly, "The horse got sick from eating too much yesterday, so it can't run any faster now. The sunset is beautiful, so let's enjoy the view."

Helan Xuenuo looked at the golden light that fell on the earth. In the distance, there was an orange-yellow round object hanging, which was particularly gentle against the blue sky.

After living her life again, she was more willing to appreciate the scenery.

After arriving at the big tent, Yuan Xu hesitantly said, "Would you like to...come to my place for tea?"

Thinking of the Golden Crow Tea, she felt a little thirsty, but she had things to do tonight, so she declined, "Tomorrow, I'll go to your place to taste tea tomorrow."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Yuan Xu's face.

The place where he lives is in the opposite direction of Helan Xuenuo.

Helan Xuenuo looked at Yuan Xu's departing back, thinking about something, when suddenly someone patted her on the back.

Looking back, it was Princess Gu Qingyue. Gu Qingyue was grinning as always, "Are you reluctant to leave your lover?"

Helan Xuenuo said helplessly, "Yuan Xu and I are just friends."
