Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

Wu Tongxue sat on a small stool, holding a sponge cake, looking gloomy.

Being a "widow" is difficult, but not being a "widow" is even more difficult.

The rich aroma of pastries lingered in his nostrils, temporarily pulling him out of his worries, and he gradually finished off the sponge cake in his hand.

At noon, Wu Tongxue sat in the house looking through Yan Ling's herbal medicine notes, learning the processing methods of different medicinal materials.

"Bai Zhiqing, here is the honeysuckle you requested."

Yan Ling handed over a small, neatly wrapped packet of honeysuckle, her voice loud enough for anyone inside to hear.

Wu Tongxue listened intently, and after a short while, Bai Jingfan entered the room alone.

The furnishings inside the room are immediately apparent. There is a Chinese medicine cabinet on the side, and the table used for pulse diagnosis is clean and tidy, with several books placed on it.

Wu Tongxue sat at the black table, holding a book in her hands, her neck bowed, her posture serious.

Her pale fingers rested on the edge of the yellowed and tattered book, her white dress draped down, and her eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly under the direct gaze of the stare.

Bai Jingfan sat down directly opposite, casually placing the honeysuckle in his hand on the table.

While Wu Tongxue was still pondering what to say, a package of dried fruit was pushed in front of her.

Bai Jingfan: "Take two pills after you finish your medicine. I specially bought some sweet dried fruit; you should like them."

His attitude remained unchanged, without anger or frustration. This could be because he was too timid to show anything, or because he already had a plan in mind.

Wu Tongxue shook her head inwardly. This was also a difficult situation. Without saying much, she accepted the gift, took one out to taste, and found it sweet but not cloying, making her mouth water. "It's delicious."

Bai Jingfan smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."

"I can brew that medicine myself from now on. I've learned how from Lingling." If we let him deliver it every day, something bad will happen eventually.

Bai Jingfan refused.

"This is the only thing I can do for you right now, please don't refuse me, okay?"

The smile faded from the man's eyes, and his voice lowered, "I know, Yan Liang is back, we..."

Just mentioning that name made Bai Jingfan's anger surge, and the emotions in his voice were hard to describe, so he lowered his tone.

"I'm just helping to brew some medicine, he won't mind."

Bai Jingfan unilaterally determined Yan Liang's emotions.

He looked at him with an honest and straightforward gaze, seemingly calm, waiting for his answer, the sound of his heart beating clearly audible in his chest.

Whether Yan Liang minds or not is not important; what matters is Wu Tongxue's attitude.

If he minds...

Bai Jingfan's eyes darkened.

Wu Tongxue handed him a piece of dried fruit, saying, "Then you can deliver the medicine to the health center for me from now on."

If both sides take a step back, they can temporarily stabilize the situation.

Bai Jingfan is a scholar and always observes proper etiquette. Given the current situation, he shouldn't do anything too outrageous.

After seeing the person off, Wu Tongxue resumed reading the book, searching her mind for any loopholes in the mission and trying to find additional plugins.

An afternoon passed quickly. Before he left the health center, Bai Jingfan delivered the medicine for the evening and left without lingering.

When Wu Tongxue returned home that evening, she was walking in the yard to digest her food after dinner when she suddenly saw Bai Jingfan.

The key point is that he had a dagger tucked behind his back, which Wu Tongxue happened to see.

Wu Tongxue thought she had misread it, so she looked at it again, "?!?!"

What's he planning to do carrying a knife around?

Yan Liang had just left and headed up the small path behind him, and Bai Jingfan was also going to take the same path, making it hard not to make connections.

If he hadn't happened to be taking a walk in the yard instead of staying inside, he wouldn't have been able to witness this scene.

He quickly called out to them, "Bai Jingfan!"

Bai Jingfan turned around, his expression normal, and stood there without walking over. "What's wrong?"

Thinking he was greeting her, she smiled slightly and said, "I won't go in. I'll come find you next time."

As he said that, he was about to leave.
