Chapter 308: The Freakin’ Scholar or the Godly Doctor?
The man dressed in green lowered the bamboo basket he was carrying. When Ning Shu saw that it contained herbs, she became confused. Was this guy the freakin’ scholar or the godly doctor?
Ning Shu said to the hidden guard, “Check if the roasted chicken in the fire is still edible? If it is, allow this sir to sample the fresh game.”
The hidden guard glanced at Ning Shu, then pulled out the black lump. From the looks of it, it wasn’t edible.
The man dressed in green hastily said, “Brother, there’s no need. This one has his own rations.” As he spoke, he dug out a maize pancake. When he saw that the three were staring at him, he took out a another one and said to Ning Shu, “These are things from the countryside so I don’t know if Lady will find it acceptable.”
“It’s fine.” Ning Shu took the pancake and bit into it. Her teeth almost fell out. After one bite, she handed it to Yue Lan and said, “Try it, coarse grains help with pooping.”
When the man heard what Ning Shu said, he furrowed his brows but didn’t say anything.
Yue Lan took the pancake and took a bite, then handed it to the hidden guard. The hidden guard took a bite, then put the pancake away and said mildly, “This pancake is quite hard to come by.”
The man hastily waved his hand and said, “It’s not hard to come by at all. They’re just made from some coarse grains from the countryside. It’s fine as long as you guys like it.” As he chomped on the pancake, he took out water from the bamboo basket.
Ning Shu and the other two just watched in stunned amazement as that guy finished the pancake bite by bite. His teeth really were impressive.
Ning Shu coughed softly, then asked, “Um, may I ask for Sir’s name?”
The man seemed to have an adverse reaction towards the address ‘sir.’ He put down his pancake and cupped his fist as he said, “This one’s name is Wen Ruhua.”
Oh, it was the scholar. Really, wearing out one’s shoes seeking couldn’t compare to the gifts brought by fate. As expected of the gravitational pull between the male and the female leads, the power brought the male lead right up to the door.
Ning Shu abruptly grabbed his hands, giving him a shock. He hastily tried to pull his hands out of Ning Shu’s grip with a frown. “Lady, men and women should not touch.”
Next to them, the hidden guard and Yue Lan looked at Ning Shu weirdly.
Ning Shu forced herself to squeeze out some cat pee and said in a very moved tone, “Cousin, I’m Qinxiang, I’m Bai Qinxiang ah!”
Cousin!?
The hidden guard and Yue Lan gawked.
Meanwhile, Wen Ruhua looked as shocked as if he had been struck by lightning. He stared at Ning Shu and his voice trembled with uncertainty, “Cousin?”
“En, it’s me.” Ning Shu responded straightforwardly.
Wen Ruhua’s expression became very complicated. He looked hurt, moved, resentful, and also a little happy. His face looked completely contorted.
“You seem to have changed a lot?” Wen Ruhua looked at her skeptically. “Are you really Cousin Qinxiang?”
“I am, I am, I am! I’m Bai Qinxiang,” said Ning Shu assertively.
Wen Ruhua’s expression immediately became twisted as he shouted at her, “Then what did you come back for? Why are you back!?”
#comment: Wen Ruhui = gentle as a painting? Lol. More like fake as a painting.
