Chapter 172 Yearning When Walking, Yearning When Sitting (2)
After Chi Shu took Chi Jingxi away, Wen Yantong did not go out to wander around, but rather sat beside Wang Qin, watching the doctor treat his wounds.
When Wang Qin’s face was punched, the impact caused his canine teeth to cut the inside of his mouth, causing the oral cavity to bleed profusely. Thus, the doctor opened his mouth and applied medicine in the inflicted areas.
Su Mingwei did not hold back, so wounds riddled his whole face and body. A thick herbal ointment was applied on his face, and the only thing left visible was Wang Qin’s eyes. After he gets sent home, most likely his parents wouldn’t be able to recognize their own son.
However, compared to Su Mingwei's broken teeth and dislocated jaw, Wang Qin's injury was really nothing.
By the time all of his injuries were dealt with, it was already dusk.
The doctor wiped off his sweat, then went to fetch the oral medicine and prescription. He advised Wang Qin’s servant what to avoid and how to use the medicine, which the latter had written down one by one, and then woke up the drowsy Wen Yantong.
The servant bid farewell to Wen Yantong, then carried Wang Qin into the carriage and hurried back to their residence.
Wen Yantong stretched her stiffened waist and limbs. Since Chi Jingxi hadn't come back yet, she decided to go out and have a look.
The sky ended at the horizon of Huaihe River, with the moon hanging high in the sky. Under the night sky, the entire river surface was filled with an abundance of starry lights, corresponding as an inverted image; nothing more beautiful could be imagined.
Wen Yantong stood by the Huaihe River and admired the scenery, surrounded by the guards left by Chi Jingxi.
Taking in the scenic view before her eyes, Wen Yantong remembered the habit of the ancients, where they like to compose poems during times of inspiration, so she couldn't help imitating, "Ah! River— how beautiful are thou is how moved I am!"
"What are you doing?" Chi Jingxi's voice suddenly came from behind.
Wen Yantong almost howled in fright. However, when she turned around, Wen Yantong was pleasantly surprised by his presence and smile. "Why are you here?"
"I didn't see you in the medical hall just now, so I came here." Chi Jingxi approached her and asked, "What were you chanting just now?"
Wen Yantong scratched her head, "I'm composing poetry..."
"...I thought it was just your calligraphy that was inadequate, but it seems that I underestimated you." Chi Jingxi said.
Wen Yantong was used to his blunt words, so she laughed and asked, "Little Marquis, are you done with your work?"
Chi Jingxi nodded. "Let's go, we need to heave back before Chang'an closes the city gate."
Wen Yantong joyfully followed behind him and got into his carriage. As soon as Chi Jingxi sat down, he took out a wooden carved box, "Are you hungry? This is for you."
She actually ate a lot of snacks, so Wen Yantong wasn't very hungry at the time, but there was no reason not to accept Chi Jingxi’s kind intentions. Thus, she reached out and opened the lid and saw dark exquisitely-made pastries in the box. And very soon, her nose was saturated with the delicate smell of roses.
"These are Chang'an City’s famous Rose Cakes, try it." Chi Jingxi said.
Wen Yantong impatiently tried a piece with her chopsticks. The scent of roses overwhelmed her mouth, the taste was aromatic and sweet, followed by a palate of fruit wine; the unexpected complexity left Wen Yantong to be stumped for words.
Although there were several layers of flavors in this bite-sized pastry, when swallowed, only the sweetness of roses remained.
Wen Yantong emptied the whole box while Chi Jingxi watched her eat the pastries, piece by piece, with a faint smile on his face.
In the end, she quietly hiccupped, and laughed happily. "Thank you, Little Marquis. It was really delicious!"
Chi Jingxi smiled and asked, "Are you full?"
Wen Yantong nodded happily and yawned, "I’m sleepy."
"Then go to sleep, we’ll be at your house by the time you wake up." Chi Jingxi softened his voice unconsciously, marveling at Wen Yantong's soft, feminine appearance.
Wen Yantong hummed as a response and then soon fell asleep. Noticing her cheeks were flushed pink, Chi Jingxi discerned something was amiss, so he took the wooden box and smelled it. Sure enough, he found a faint smell of alcohol in it.
Chi Jingxi didn’t enjoy consuming sweet pastries, so he didn't know that these rose cakes contained fruit wine. Wen Yantong ate the whole box, so she must be a little tipsy.
Though somewhat inebriated, she didn't yell or make trouble, and just fell asleep soon after. At this moment, her breathing was already steady and paced.
Chi Jingxi’s expression turned to relief. Ever since he returned, he had been busy with all kinds of things at home, and he couldn't find time to find her. And as such, his recent temper had worsened and couldn’t help feeling irritated all the time.
Now that they finally met, although for a short while, and with Wen Yantong just sleeping in front of him, Chi Jingxi felt very comfortable. It seemed that as long as he looked at her, all the boredom and impatience in his heart would disappear. He was not in a tranquil state, but rather in a joyous mood.
After two hours, they finally entered Chang'an City; the streets were bustling with people.
The Wen Residence was located in a private residential area. There were no vendors or random pedestrians on the wide streets, just like another quiet version of Chang'an.
Chi Jingxi woke up Wen Yantong, "We’re at your home."
Wen Yantong sat up in a daze, she was a bit more sober after her rest. However, while she got out of the carriage, Wen Yantong mistyped and almost fell, fortunately she was held by Chi Jingxi in time.
Wen Yantong’s mind was still somewhat hazy. When she smelled Chi Jingxi's scent, her body quickly reacted and latched on. "Little Marquis..."
Her soft voice sounded like a little kitten, full of tenderness, Chi Jingxi's heart couldn’t help but soften. He turned around and carried her on his back, let his guards wait by the carriage, and walked half a street to send her back.
On the way, Wen Yantong moved her head, and suddenly pinched the tip of Chi Jingxi's ear as she softly called out, "Little Marquis."
Chi Jingxi felt the soft touch on his ear, but didn’t mind and allowed her to do as she pleased as he responded with a smile, "Hmm?"
Wen Yantong asked, "Do you know what it feels like to like someone?"
Chi Jingxi pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Reminiscing them while walking, reminiscing while resting, reminiscing while writing, and reminiscing while eating."
"Hmm." Wen Yantong lightly said by his ear, "I’m that."
Chi Jingxi was taken aback, "What?"
"I’m saying that is how I am." Wen Yantong explained slowly and softly, "I miss you when I walk, I miss you when I sit down, I miss you when I read, I miss you when I eat, I miss you when I sleep. But only in my dreams, can I see you."
Chi Jingxi's footsteps halted, he not only heard Wen Yantong's breathing in his ear, but also a powerful beating in his chest.
Such a feeling had never come over him before.
The pounding emerged so violently that he was completely caught off guard.
T/N: Our girl’s finally confessed! :D
Oh and happy new year to you all ❤️
