After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

Jiang Wan asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"

"This bowl of medicine is for you to drink."

Xie Lan calmly handed over a ceramic bowl that smelled of bitter medicine.

Jiang Wan looked over and wrinkled his nose subconsciously.

"I'm not sick, why should I take medicine?"

She knew how bitter ancient medicine was, so she didn't want to touch even a drop.

Xie Lan insisted, "It's cold, and it's easy to catch a cold. You sneezed again at night, so just in case, you'd better drink a bowl of soup to avoid the cold."

He rarely cared about anyone other than his younger siblings, so his tone was a little awkward.

But the toughness of the proposal made it impossible for Jiang Wan to refuse.

Jiang Wan was sure that if she didn't drink, Xie Lan would stand at the door and confront her.

In order to help Xie Lan's body, which had not yet recovered, recover faster, she took the ceramic bowl, pinched her nose, prepared herself mentally, closed her eyes, raised her hand and poured the medicine into her mouth.

This drink almost made Jiang Wan suffocate.

Her palm-sized face wrinkled into bun-shaped wrinkles in an instant. She looked at Xie Lan's icy face with a bitter look and said miserably, "Is it okay now?"

Xie Lan found her crooked features funny, raised the corners of his lips, and said helplessly, "Is it that hard to drink?"

"Of course you don't know if you don't drink it!"

Jiang Wan stuffed the bowl into his hands and complained, "This medicine is even more bitter than my life. No, my life doesn't seem to be bitter anymore..."

She mumbled aimlessly, and suddenly there was a sweet candied fruit on her lips.

She subconsciously opened her mouth, and Xie Lan pushed the candied fruit into her mouth. When his fingertips withdrew, they scratched Jiang Wan's soft lips.

Jiang Wan didn't pay attention to his hand, but was surprised by the candied fruit in her mouth.

She blinked and stared at Xie Lan in surprise, "You brought candied fruit..."

He actually knew to use candied fruit to relieve the bitterness of medicine?

And... fed her with his own hands?!

Xie Lan's ears turned red, and she coughed dryly, saying in an unnatural voice, "When Xiao Jing and Xue Ling were sick before, I would use candied fruit to comfort them."

Jiang Wan's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were wandering.

"Oh, I see. I didn't realize you were so attentive..."

Jiang Wan didn't know what words to use to describe her current mood.

Ever since she and Xie Lan experienced the bandit incident together, the relationship between them has become unclear, as if there was a thick fog between them, making it difficult to distinguish clearly.

If we say that before, Jiang Wan regarded Xie Lan as a friend.

But after the incident with the bandits, she felt that she and Xie Lan were more than just friends.

The worry and fear in my heart at that time are still fresh in my memory.

Although Jiang Wan had never been in a relationship, she knew that her concern and care for Xie Lan seemed to go beyond that of a friend.

It was during this period that Jiang Wan realized this, which is why she felt a little uncomfortable and restrained when facing Xie Lan.

As it is now.

Xie Lan just stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth like he was trying to coax his younger sister, but she was a little hesitant.

Xie Lan didn't reply, nor did he show any intention of leaving. He just stared at Jiang Wan.

The two men stood face to face, one inside the house and the other outside.

It was warm and cozy inside the house, and outside it was snowing lightly.

After a long time, Jiang Wan saw that he was still silent, and was the first to lose patience and asked, "You... have something else to say?"

She looked at Xie Lan with her peach blossom eyes, and there was a hint of candlelight in her eyes, which made her delicate face look extremely soft and beautiful.

Xie Lan was lost in thought, but replied, "Thank you today. If it weren't for you, Xueling would be in trouble."

Jiang Wan said nonchalantly: "What is there to thank me for? I treat Xueling as my own sister. If she is in danger, how can I not help her solve it?"

After that, she continued, "Besides, I was the one who took the person out. If I don't bring him back to you intact, won't you be trying to kill me?"

With her interruption, the charming atmosphere just now dissipated a little.

Xie Lan also collected his thoughts and nodded to Jiang Wan, "I owe you this once, I will pay you back later."

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment. She felt that his words were strange for no reason, and the restless emotions in her heart calmed down instantly.

She said, "Just remember it. You owe me more than that."

Xie Lan laughed when he heard this, and there seemed to be a kind of doting in his tone.

Unfortunately, Jiang Wan couldn’t hear it.

She thought Xie Lan wanted to break up with her clearly, so she lost her good mood and her face turned cold.

"If you're fine, I'm going to sleep."

She issued an eviction order.

Xie Lan didn't understand why she suddenly became unhappy.

Wasn't it fine just now?

But it was getting late, and he couldn't keep disturbing her, so he could only say, "Go to bed early and keep warm."

Jiang Wan was startled and was about to say something when He Hua came towards him shivering from the darkness in the distance, her face frozen pale.

"Sister Wan, I...I really can't bear it anymore..."

The lotus had already washed up.

After she came out of the kitchen, she saw Xie Lan standing at the door, so she didn't rush up to disturb him.

I didn't expect that Xie Lan and Jiang Wan would chat for just a cup of tea.

Seeing that the two had no intention of ending the topic, Lotus finally couldn't stand the cold temperature in the middle of the night in winter, and came over shivering to interrupt their conversation.

Jiang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he pulled He Hua into the room. He turned to Xie Lan and said, "Go back. It's getting late."

Xie Lan nodded and watched Jiang Wan close the door before returning to his room.

inside the house.

Jiang Wan poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Hehua, and covered her with a quilt.

"Sister Hehua, you are such a fool. Why don't you come back after you've washed up?"

He Hua held the cup and said shyly, "I saw that you and Xie Lan had something to say, so I didn't bother you."

He Hua is older than Xie Lan, so she calls Xie Lan by his first name.

When Xie Lan came back from Pingyao County, He Hua started calling him "Young Master Xie", which made Xie Lan very uncomfortable.

After getting to know each other, Jiang Wan suggested that He Hua call her by her name, and He Hua kept calling her by that name.

"Then you shouldn't have been freezing for so long before coming here."

Jiang Wan glared at He Hua with both anger and amusement.

He Hua smiled shyly, then looked at Jiang Wan's blushing cheeks and said, "Sister Wan, there is something I have always wanted to ask you, I don't know if it is appropriate..."

Jiang Wan said, "Sister Hehua, just say whatever you want to say."

He Hua pursed her lips and mustered up the courage to say, "Sister Wan, aren't you and Xie Lan a couple? Why do you always sleep in separate rooms? I can actually squeeze in with Xue Ling and the others, and you don't have to take care of me..."

Jiang Wan was stunned. She didn't expect He Hua to ask this.

Why do you sleep in a separate room from Xie Lan?

Of course they have no emotions...

They were just engaged as children, not married out of love.

But now, it seems that she and Xie Lan are not completely without feelings for each other, right?

Jiang Wan thought about it again and again, and when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to explain it.

Hehua is considerate. After observing for some time, she can see that the relationship between Jiang Wan and Xie Lan is not that bad.

Since it wasn't that bad, there was no need for her, a purchased servant, to be stuck between the young couple.
