Chapter 778: Xie Xuning was the First Person to Make her Heart Flutter
Mo’er took a sip of the ginger soup and said, “Daddy, the ginger soup tastes awful.”
Mo’er pushed away the ginger soup with a sad expression.
Xie Yi coaxed Mo’er softly and whispered, “Mo’er, you won’t get sick after drinking the ginger soup.”
Mo’er hesitated for a moment. He was a good boy, and his mommy said that he wouldn’t get sick after drinking the ginger soup.
He would rather drink this relatively delicious ginger soup than take bitter pills.
On the other side of the room …
“Dad, you should have a drink, too.”
Xie Xuning took Ye Tianxin’s cup and had a sip. The taste of the ginger soup wasn’t as good as the sugar water.
The purpose of drinking ginger soup was to dispel the cold.
Xie Xuning finished the cup of ginger soup.
“Dad, are there a lot of worshipers stranded on the mountain?”
Xie Xuning nodded, “There are quite a few. The abbot has vacated two rooms for us.”
“There are only two rooms. It won’t be enough space.”
Ye Tianxin hesitated for a moment. She was no longer a toddler; she was old enough now, so she couldn’t sleep in the same room with Xie Xuning. It would’ve been inappropriate.
“You should sleep by yourself. I told the abbot that I’ll squeeze in with him tonight.”
Tough times called for tough measures. The conditions were way worse than this when he was marching or engaging in battles in the past, weren’t they?
“How about we let Xie Yi and Miss Ye sleep in one room and let Mr. Xie share the other with my son and me? Is that fine with you?”
Ye Tianxin glanced at Xie Xuning, but Xie Xuning shook his head and declined.
“Thank you for your kindness, but I have already talked to the abbot.”
Shi Han no longer insisted and glanced at Xie Yi. Xie Yi did indeed have a good eye. Xie Xuning was the man who made her heart flutter for the first time in her life.
Xie Xuning was the youngest commander of the Empire.
Rumors were circulating throughout the military saying that Xie Xuning sacrificed himself during a mission, while his wife died out of love for him.
Since then, he was the youngest deputy commander in the military history of the capital who had been devoted to his martyred wife.
If Xie Yi could touch Xie Xuning’s heart, neither of them had to worry about the rest of Xie Yi’s life.
Shi Han then suggested, “There is still some time before it gets dark outside. Why don’t we have some entertainment?”
Ye Tianxin was the first one to refuse. Since she started to take two majors, she had to pass on any form of entertainment.
If she had time to enjoy herself, she might as well have read a book.
“Sorry, I can’t play with you. I have to study. It’s almost time for the final exams.”
Shi Han smiled and said, “Sorry, I forgot that Miss Ye is a student.”
“It’s alright.”
Ever since Ye Tianxin went to college, she had a habit of carrying books and notebooks in her bag so she could always have an opportunity to study.
Learning was the most important thing for Ye Tianxin.
“Tianxin, let’s go out and leave them alone for now.”
“Fine.”
After Xie Xuning and Ye Tianxin walked out of the room together, a gust of wind almost took Ye Tianxin down.
Xie Xuning stretched out his hand, grabbed Ye Tianxin’s arm, and said, “Tianxin, be careful.”
“Dad, do you think I’m too skinny? I think a gust of wind can blow me away!”
The snowflakes whipped her face so harshly that Ye Tianxin couldn’t help but shiver.
Xie Xuning answered, “So I’ll just make uncle He watch you eat more.”
The wind was so strong that Ye Tianxin couldn’t keep her eyes open. She said, “I’m just kidding, Dad. I don’t think I need to gain any weight at all!”
