Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2292: Nan Si and Long Ai Ning



After taking for some time, Long Ai Ning took a break and looked at Nan Si's direction. Her eyes widened in surprise.

"You're smiling!"

Huh?

Nan Si was stunned and then fixed his expression. He just felt that Long Ai Ning in front of him was cute when she was telling her experience excitedly that he couldn't help himself.

Long Ai Ning saw Nan Si looked serious again and couldn't help stretching her hand to his face. "Come on, smile more. You look really good when you're smiling."

Feeling Long Ai Ning's small hand on his cheek, Nan Si blinked his eyes and looked at Long Ai Ning, who was close to him. He pursed his lips and silently patted her hand and moved back a bit.

"You need to remember to keep a distance," Nan Si reminded.

He might not be taught various etiquette and so on, but after following Nan Hua for a long time, he knew some of them. One of them was naturally the fact that male and female were not allowed to get too close to each other if they didn't have any relationship.

Even for couples, it was still a bit strange for them to be so close in public.

At least, there would be some people who would question this because they couldn't accept it.

Long Ai Ning saw Nan Si's gesture and pouted. "What if I don't want to."

With that, she inched closer, glaring at Nan Si as if she was provoking him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Nan Si arched his eyebrows.

He could see that Long Ai Ning's small hands trembled slightly, which showed her nervousness. However, she acted brave as if she didn't care about the consequences or think that he wouldn't do anything.

Really...

Nan Si raised his hand and patted Long Ai Ning's head. "I'll just tell your brother."

Long Ai Ning, who was about to smile, was frozen stiff in her place. Whenever her brother was mentioned, Long Ai Ning would feel guilty and thus, she wished to run away as fast as possible.

After all, Long Ai Ning was not exactly a person who would follow etiquette and rules. On the other hand, Long Xu was someone who adhered to the rules strictly and would not allow his sister to act impolite or inappropriate.

Thus, Long Ai Ning has been punished a lot by her brother.

Now that Nan Si mentioned that he would talk to her brother, Long Ai Ning felt aggrieved. "You can't!"

Nan Si asked back, "Why not?"

"Just can't!" Long Ai Ning shook her head like a rattle. "If my brother knows what I'm doing, he'll only punish me!"

Nan Si looked at Long Ai Ning and silently thought that it was more likely that Long Xu wanted to kill him first. Even though Long Ai Ning was the one making advances, but if he didn't respond or tolerate her, there was no way that there could be any progress.

But it seemed that Long Ai Ning didn't realize this.

She's really cute.

"Long Ai Ning."

"Huh?"

"Do you want to be in a relationship?" Nan Si asked, his tone was solemn.

Long Ai Ning blinked her big eyes and looked at Nan Si blankly. In the next moment, her cheek turned red and she stammered, "I... I..."

"You might not understand what it means..."

"I understand! I'm not a child!" Long Ai Ning immediately protested. She might be younger than her brother, but she was no longer young. She had already past the age to become an adult many years ago.

But since she was not exactly a noble, she didn't have that hairpin ceremony or whatever. "In that case..."

"Then will you listen to me forever?" Long Ai Ning's eyes sparkled as she looked at Nan Si in front of her.

Nan Si looked at the excited Long Ai Ning and fell into silence. He felt that what Long Ai Ning wanted the most was someone who would always listen to her. Then again, he didn't really mind it.

"Ok."

Long Ai Ning laughed happily after receiving the answer.

Nan Si looked at Long Ai Ning and shook his head, not really understanding what she saw in him.

He had lived in the darkness and shadow for as long as he could remember. And the main reason he followed Nan Hua was because she was strong and also someone he could trust to

lead.

His duty was to protect Nan Hua and to do things that she was inconvenient to do.

Nothing more and nothing else.

Most of the time, he would only watch when Nan Hua had interactions with her family members or others. He would not be involved and only watched from the side.

Does he feel envy?

Not really.

If Nan Si had to say, he never thought that he needed companionship or anything like that. He liked being alone. Following Nan Hua, Nan Si never needed to worry about his life in the

slightest bit.

There were food, there were training, there were missions.

His life was fulfilling.

But for some reasons, Long Ai Ning suddenly came in and pulled him around. He had to say that at the beginning, he was truly unwilling and felt uncomfortable around her. After all, she would bring him to the bright places.

But seeing her laugh and having fun, his gaze was slowly attracted in her direction.

From time to time, the time slowly increased.

"I need to talk with your brother," Nan Si said.

"Why?" Long Ai Ning was confused.

Nan Si pointed behind Long Ai Ning. "Otherwise, he'll kill me."

Long Ai Ning froze at Nan Si's gesture. She slowly turned around and saw her older brother

was standing there, looking at the two of the with a dark face.

It really looked like he was ready to kill the two of them. His appearance truly scared Long Ai Ning while Nan Si was calm.

She raised her hand weakly and called out, "Brother?"
