Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

After Xia Rongliu explained the whole story to Lin Yue, Lin Yue finally stopped imagining things. "You go inside first, and I'll go get some medicine."

The cool touch of her hand joints made Xia Rongliu feel much better. She took the medicine and put it on gauze, wrapping it up to cover her upper arm as well.

While dealing with the situation, Lin Yue asked, "How come there's a trap there? And it's over three meters deep. There haven't been any wild animals or large animals on Furong Mountain in all these years."

Xia Rongliu shook her head. "I just heard someone shouting and went over. That person didn't have parents yet, so he went back to the Taoist temple with Yuan Qing."

"Oh dear, you're so young. Don't force yourself to do things you can't do. It's not good to hurt yourself. If you have to, just come back and tell us, and an adult will come to your rescue."

"It's getting late, and it could be dangerous. Even if we go back and ask someone to go again, they might not be able to find the place. Besides, I'm fine, a muscle strain is nothing serious." I didn't feel anything when I first got back, but now it's starting to ache and hurt.

Lin Yue sighed. Her daughter had always been much more sensible and intelligent than other children since she was little, so raising her wasn't too difficult. Even when she was a little lively, she wouldn't cause any trouble. Who wouldn't love and cherish her?

Xia Rongliu couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. Her arms were sore and aching, so she got up and picked up a ball of yarn to knit something. She finally managed to fall asleep in the early hours of the morning.

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Xia Rongliu was still fast asleep on the bed, her arms outstretched to avoid being pressed down. Juejue was curled up in a ball with her head buried in Xia Rongliu's neck.

Several more strange things made of yarn appeared next to her. Lin Yue picked one up and smiled with relief. It was just as appalling as it looked.

There was a knock on the door. Lin Yue put her things down and opened the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Yuan Qing and that face, with a little boy in a Taoist robe following behind.

"Auntie, I'm here to see Xia Rongliu." Yuan Qinghe stated his purpose, and Lin Yue was not surprised. Yuan Qinghe had been coming frequently lately, and they had become quite familiar with each other.

"Come in, Yinyin is still sleeping," Lin Yue said gently, guessing that Yuan Qing and others were unaware of Xia Rongliu's arm injury. "And this one behind her is..."

"Oh, his name is Wang Xiaohu. Did Xia Rongliu tell you about what happened when I went back with her yesterday afternoon...?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue knew that the person behind her was the one Xia Rongliu had mentioned who had fallen into the pit. He looked not much older than Xia Rongliu, probably younger than Yuan Qing. "He's already told me."

"Can I go find Xia Rongliu now?" Yuan Qing asked nervously. Since ancient times, boys and girls have been strictly separated, and they have not been allowed to sit together since the age of eight.

Lin Yue was quite easygoing. "Go ahead, don't wake her up. She only went to sleep in the early hours of this morning." Anyway, Yin Yin didn't take off her clothes when she went to sleep last night, and she was covered with a thin blanket.

After receiving Lin Yue's permission, Yuan Qinghe rushed to Xia Rongliu's house. When he arrived at the door, he tiptoed around, afraid of waking Xia Rongliu.

Wang Xiaohu gently pushed open the door, wanting to go in as well, but Yuan Qing turned around and glared at him fiercely, saying, "You stand outside, you're not allowed to come in."

"..."

The person lying in bed was sleeping soundly, unlike when they were usually awake and lively. Their features had become more defined, with long, curled eyelashes, pouty lips, and a glimpse of their front teeth.

How adorable! Yuan Qinghe poked Xia Rongliu's soft little face. Xia Rongliu moved, which startled Yuan Qinghe so much that he immediately withdrew his hand.

The blanket slipped off her clothes, revealing one of Xia Rongliu's hands. Her sleeve was rolled up, and Yuan Qinghe caught a glimpse of white, which also faintly smelled of medicine.

Upon closer inspection, Yuan Qing noticed the gauze wrapped around Xia Rongliu's wrist.

“Gauze…why is it wrapped in gauze…could it be…!” Could it be that Xia Rongliu is injured?! Yuan Qing was startled by his own words.

Yuan Qing slowly reached out and rolled up Xia Rongliu's sleeve a little higher. Not only were Xia Rongliu's wrists wrapped up, but her arms were also wrapped up.

Yuan Qinghe could figure out what was going on with just a little thought.

Xia Rongliu slowly woke up, and when she saw Yuan Qinghe staring anxiously at her, she closed her eyes, then opened them again. She seriously suspected she had a nightmare; why was she dreaming about Yuan Qinghe?

He looked at Yuan Qinghe with a gaze that seemed to be hoping she would leave soon.

A second passed...

Two seconds passed...

Three seconds have passed...

Four seconds have passed...

For more than two minutes, Xia Rongliu finally couldn't hold back and sat up abruptly. "What do you mean by 'Yuan Qing'?" Before she could finish speaking, she fell back down because of the pain in her arm that had been supporting her weight.

Juejue: Have you ever considered my feelings? Waaaaaah, I'm so heartbroken.

Yuan Qinghe quickly helped Xia Rongliu up. "Why didn't you say anything yesterday afternoon?" Seeing Xia Rongliu's puzzled expression, he added, "Your mother told me that you strained your arm."

"I didn't feel anything at the time, I only noticed it when I was almost home. Besides, it's not a serious injury, it will be fine after a while." Xia Rongliu pushed Yuan Qinghe away and went to put on her shoes.

Yuan Qinghe saw that Juejue, being the impulsive person he was, went to touch Juejue. Juejue ignored him, turned around and turned her butt towards him. Yuan Qinghe chuckled twice, "If it weren't for the fact that you're Xia Rongliu's cat, I wouldn't even want to talk to you."

Yuan Qinghe got up and watched Xia Rongliu go to open the door. Remembering that there was still someone standing outside, he wanted to remind Xia Rongliu, "Yinyin, you go first..."

"How many times have I told you not to call me Yang? Ahhhhhh—" Xia Rongliu hadn't finished speaking when she opened the door and saw a person in a dark black outer robe and a white undershirt standing in front of her.

……

Wang Xiaohu sat on a small stone bench in the courtyard, head down, silent. The atmosphere was extremely heavy and somber. "I'm sorry," Wang Xiaohu said softly, almost inaudible.

"Yinyin." Yuan Qinghe called out, but was intimidated by Xia Rongliu's glare. He backed down and said to Wang Xiaohu, "Tell me what's going on and make it clear."

Wang Xiaohu looked left and right before saying, "Um, my name is Wang Xiaohu. I'm an eleven-year-old orphan. I've been raised since childhood and haven't had any arranged marriages. I..."

Yuan Qinghe patted Wang Xiaohu's head. "Did I ask you to say this? Did you think I asked you to come here for a blind date?!" Looking at Wang Xiaohu's small eyes filled with big confusion, Yuan Qinghe sighed.

Xia Rongliu found it amusing and, without making things difficult for Wang Xiaohu, directly asked, "How did you fall into that pit yesterday? How do you usually live without your parents?"

"I just wanted to go into the woods to pick some fruit to eat. I just walked down there. I usually... go to the temple to make offerings and get some food, and sometimes I go to the market..." Wang Xiaohu answered honestly.

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he looked anxiously at Xia Rongliu and Yuan Qinghe, afraid that they would look down on him.

Xia Rongliu and Yuan Qinghe didn't seem to care much.

Yuan Qing told Xia Rongliu, "I carried him back last night and gave him a bath. He didn't have any clothes to wear, so I took the Taoist robe from the temple. My uncle also said that he can stay in the temple from now on. One more person won't make a difference."
