Chapter 131 It's better not to go!
That evening, Mu Xin Nuan was diligently writing down the new prescription she had come up with, her entire focus on the pile of medical books and the stack of Xuan paper on the table.
A black figure appeared behind her without her noticing, staring intently at her back!
The silver-masked youth stood with his arms crossed, recalling when he first met her last year; she seemed shorter and slightly plumper than she is now. When did this little girl become so thin?
A sudden unease arose in the boy's heart, as if someone had mistreated Mu Xin Nuan!
The young man frowned, his lips pressed tightly together, and the part of his face not covered by the mask looked as white as jade, clearly indicating that he was a rich young master!
He didn't know how long he stared at it, until Mu Xin Nuan finally placed her smile on the inkstone with satisfaction, straightened her body slightly stiffly, stretched her arms, yawned, and let out a soft exclamation. Only then did the young man's mind come back to normal.
As soon as Mu Xin Nuan turned around, she trembled in fright and took a step back. Only when she saw that the person in front of her was the boy who often came before did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Why are you here again? When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me you were coming? You know, scaring someone can be deadly!" Mu Xin Nuan said, very displeased.
The boy said with a hint of mockery, "You've asked so many questions at once, which one should I answer first? Or are you asking me so eagerly because I haven't been here for so long and you miss me?"
Mu Xin Nuan rolled her eyes at him, "Stop dreaming! Who would want you? You're a scoundrel!"
"Yes, I'm a scoundrel! I'm going to stick with you for the rest of my life, so what?"
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head slightly, too lazy to talk to him anymore. She walked back and forth in the room a few steps. She had been standing at the table for too long, and her legs were almost numb!
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mu Xin Nuan snorted coldly and ignored him completely.
The boy smiled and strode forward, picking her up in his arms.
"What, what are you going to do?" Mu Xin Nuan cried out in fright, afraid that this person would do something rude.
"Don't worry, I know martial arts and I know where most of the acupoints on the human body are. Helping you will be a piece of cake!"
As the boy spoke, he placed her on the soft couch beside him, then reached out and kneaded her calves a few times. "How is it? Are you feeling better now?"
Mu Xin Nuan's face flushed slightly. Although she was only eleven years old, she was already an adult in her heart! It was natural for her to feel a little uncomfortable to be so intimate with a young master she had never met before.
"Alright! Much better, no need to bother anymore." Mu Xin Nuan pulled her legs in slightly, indicating that he could stop what he was doing.
But the boy seemed not to realize her intentions, and simply pulled her leg over and pressed it down there.
"Don't move! I'm helping you improve blood circulation and relax your muscles, which is good for your legs. And, if you take proper care of yourself, you might even grow taller after a good night's sleep!"
Mu Xin Nuan simply rolled her eyes at his obviously joking remark! How could that be? Was it really necessary to be so dramatic?
Mu Xin Nuan was, after all, a girl, and young, how could she possibly win against that boy? Helpless, she could only let him do as he pleased.
In the dim light of the room, Mu Xin Nuan noticed that the young man had very fair skin, and his long, slender, jade-like hands were clearly those of a noble young master. Looking at his lips, although somewhat thin, they didn't appear sharp or cold at all. She was truly curious about what kind of stunning face lay beneath that mask!
Mu Xin Nuan was a little distracted for a moment!
His lower face alone was enough to make one think that he must be quite handsome. In addition, although he occasionally said some extremely unscrupulous things, his overall demeanor was definitely not that of an ordinary young master from a noble family!
He didn't have that sleazy air about him, and his eyes looked somewhat cynical, but there was always a hint of coldness in his eyes!
Such a man must come from a noble family, right? At the very least, he must be the young master of a marquis's household, right? Otherwise, where does this extremely aristocratic demeanor come from?
At some point, the boy stopped what he was doing, and a silver mask was now less than half a foot away from Mu Xin Nuan.
"What are you thinking about?"
The boy found it strange that she was lost in thought. How could she be so absent-minded in front of a stranger like him, whom he barely knew? He wondered if she was just naturally bold, or if she was simply a heartless person.
His soft question quickly brought Mu Xin Nuan back to her senses. When she looked up and saw that he was so close to her, she reached out and pushed him!
The boy was initially drawn to her because he was looking at her so closely, captivated by her slightly flushed face and dazed eyes. Little did he expect that she would suddenly reach out and push him.
Caught off guard, he was pushed to the ground!
Mu Xin Nuan hadn't expected him to be so unprepared! She had only given him a light push, and he had fallen to the ground! Wasn't that a bit too ridiculous?
Mu Xin Nuan looked at the boy sitting there blankly on the ground, blinked a few times, and finally couldn't help but chuckle.
The young man was so captivated by her upturned lips, slightly narrowed eyes, and smile that surpassed even the most beautiful moonlight. He was so mesmerized that he forgot to get up!
Mu Xin Nuan didn't think about it, after all, she was only eleven years old!
The boy snapped out of his daze, pouted, slowly stood up, then clapped his hands, lightly dusted off the dust on his clothes, and said with dissatisfaction, "Someone kindly gave you a massage, and you were so heartless, you just pushed me to the ground! Alas! Women and petty men are the hardest to deal with in this world, the ancients were right!"
Although she couldn't see his expression, Mu Xin Nuan laughed even harder from the obvious feigned tone in his voice!
"Alright! Stop acting strangely. I'm asking you, what exactly do you want by coming here in the middle of the night?"
"Enjoy the beauty!"
"What?" Because the boy's voice was too low, and Mu Xin Nuan was not yet fully recovered, she did not hear clearly and could not help but ask again.
The boy pursed his lips. "It's nothing. I just wanted to tell you that if you can avoid going to Princess Zhaoyang's birthday banquet, then you should."
Mu Xin Nuan was taken aback, then her expression gradually turned serious. "Why?"
