Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2291: Small Gathering



"You two are slow." Long Xu saw Xiao Yan and Dai finally came.

Dai was stunned and turned to look at Xiao Yan. "Why is he here?"

"Young Miss Nan is the Young Madam of the Long Family now," Xiao Yan replied with a shrug on his shoulder. Since they were one family now, it was normal for them to interact with each other, right?

Dai's lips twitched when he heard this but he didn't refute.

It was impossible for them not to interact with Long Qian Xing's servants after Nan Hua got married to Long Qian Xing.

Anyway, it was not like his master would see Nan Hua often.

So for this occasion, he would just accept it.

With that, Xiao Yan and Dai sat down. There were also Lou there, sitting like a statue and looked at the pot in front of them quietly.

The atmosphere felt rather awkward.

None of them truly knew each other aside from Xiao Yan and Dai. Long Xu could talk more with Lou but he knew the latter's temperament and didn't really want to speak.

"Huh? Why are you so quiet?" Long Ai Ning came with a few bowls of food. She tilted her head and then asked, "Brother, did you bully them?"

Long Xu's lips twitched. "What are you thinking in your head? Do you think your brother is that kind of person?"

"How should I know?" Long Ai Ning stuck out her tongue.

"You little."

"Hehehe. Come here, these are your portions." Long Ai Ning handed the food to Long Xu and then looked around. "Where's Nan Si?"

"He should be near Young Miss's tent. Do you want to call him?" Long Xu replied.

Long Ai Ning nodded. "Of course! I'll be back soon. The other girls will come soon."

The other girls?

Just as Dai was thinking who else was here, Mu Yan and Chu Yue had already arrived. Each of them carried two bowls of food. Chu Yue walked to Lou and handed one of the bowls to him, in which he accepted it. On the other hand, Mu Yan handed the second bowl in her hand to Xiao Yan.

After all, Xiao Yan and Mu Yan have known each other ever since they were young.

Both of them have served Nan Luo and Nan Hua respectably ever since the two of them were still young. It was also because of this that they were still familiar with each other.

"...Where's mine?" Dai asked slowly.

Xiao Yan just remembered about this and looked at Dai awkwardly. "I forgot to tell them that you're also here. You can take the bowl yourself?"

Dai rolled his eyes and sighed deeply.

He looked at the sitting positions of these people and his lips twitched slightly. He had the faint feelings that these people were actually slowly but surely getting close to each other. 'So I'm the only single person?'

And then Dai turned to look at Long Xu, who was also alone, and felt a bit better.

Well, he was not the only one.

Of course, if he were to know that Long Xu planned to get married after the war was over, it was estimated that Dai would want to stay far away from these people. He didn't want to hurt his heart!

At this moment, Long Ai Ning had already found Nan Si.

He was standing beside Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing's camp at a certain distance away. It

seemed that he had no intention to get close in the slightest bit.

Then again, there was truly no need for them to get too close.

"Si!" Long Ai Ning smiled. "Let's go and eat."

"Um." Nan Si saw that it was Long Ai Ning and nodded. There was no need for him to stay here to stand guard either.

No one would be so stupid to disturb Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing.

Of course, after he was done with his meal, he would stay here again.

"Hey, why did you stop here?" Long Ai Ning saw Nan Si sat down on a log not too far from where he previously stood guard and complained.

"Do I have to walk further away?" Nan Si asked in confusion.

"The others have gathered. Don't you want to eat with them?" Long Ai Ning asked and pointed into the distance.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The others?

Nan Si thought about Xiao Yan, Chu Yue, and the others before shaking his head. He had no interest to get close to these servants under the master and master's family members. Even though socializing was important, but Nan Si didn't have that much interest for it.

He would rather stay on his own and stay in the darkness.

"You're really." Long Ai Ning pouted but she still sat beside Nan Si and handed the bowl in her hand to him. "Eat. I work hard to make the food today~."

After cooking for Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua, Long Ai Ning worked hard to cook for the rest of them. There were not many people there and the ingredients were also limited, so she had

to be creative.

"Yes," Nan Si said obediently.

"You know, there are some interesting herbs that can be used as spices here and I just found out about it." Long Ai Ning's eyes lit up when she talked about this matter.

This was Long Ai Ning's first time coming to the north area and there were naturally some herbs that were not familiar for her. She tried to take them after asking around and knew that they could be eaten.

What followed afterwards was her testing to cook the best food for them.

It was very interesting.

Nan Si sat beside Long Ai Ning, listening as she told the process of her finding the herbs and then cooking. Even though he didn't understand most of them since for him, cooking was simply to roast something over the fire to make it edible, he still listened.

Seeing Long Ai Ning smiling happily, Nan Si also smiled faintly.
