Fortunately, Ji Fengyan was also a casual person and did not mind Xing Lou’s gaze at her. She smiled and spoke, “It was naturally because of the help that you have given me that day.”

When she finished her sentence, Linghe immediately pushed the gift boxes in front of him.

Xing Lou took a quick glance at all the boxes and did not show any emotions.

“I shall accept your kindness but forget about all these gifts.” Xing Lou looked at Ji Fengyan and said.

Ji Fengyan was also not surprised. After all, as the grand tutor, what other rare items had he not seen before? So why would he care about these?

But…

Without accepting her gifts, it was difficult for her to continue with her plans.

Ji Fengyan pondered for a while, then said with a smile, “You don’t have to be this courteous, grand tutor. These are all things you should accept. You have saved everyone in my residence from bloodshed so these simple gifts are just a small piece of thought. If the grand tutor is not even going to accept these simple items, I’m afraid that I will be unable to sleep and eat at ease.”

Xing Lou gazed at Ji Fengyan’s opening and closing lips without anyone noticing him. As if he was thinking of something, his eyes seemed a little dazed and completely did not catch what Ji Fengyan was saying.

“Grand tutor?” after waiting for a while, there was still no response from Xing Lou.

Xing Lou snapped out of his daze and saw the bottle of pills that Ji Fengyan had left on the table.

The white and small little bottle was something that he was very familiar with.

Almost without any hesitation, Xing Lou stood up and held the bottle of pills in his hands. “Forget about the other things. If you really wanted to thank me, just give me this will do.”

“…” Ji Fengyan’s eyes widened slightly.

The dark guard’s expression became unpredictable.

No one had expected that the item that Xing Lou had taken a liking to was not any of the gifts that Ji Fengyan had picked out thoughtfully and was instead the pills that she had casually taken out to return someone else’s favour.

This…

It was really embarrassing for a master to snatch the gift of his own guard.

Ji Fengyan instinctively looked at the dark guard. When the dark guard’s eyes met hers, he immediately looked away and continued to stand at the same spot, acting as if he was clueless.

“It’s not that it’s impossible, but this item was originally gifted to this dark guard brother by me as a gift of thanks,” Ji Fengyan explained honestly.

Xing Lou’s brows frowned slightly and the hands wrapped around the bottle stiffened. Using the corner of his eye, he shot the dark guard at the side a look.

The dark guard instantly felt that a gust of cold wind had brushed against his skin.

“But since the grand tutor does not mind, I still have other pills with me so I will choose the best for you,” Ji Fengyan smiled as she said, and completely did not notice the surging emotions between the master and subordinate in front of her.

The gaze that had originally run cold instantly softened after hearing Ji Fengyan’s words and Xing Lou looked at Ji Fengyan as he silently nodded.

Ji Fengyan instantly took out two bottles of pills and generously placed it in Xing Lou’s hands. She had even informed him of the use and effect of the pills.

Xing Lou held the two bottles that was still warm from her body heat, as Ji Fengyan’s laughing voice repeated in his ears. That familiar scent was emitting from her body and surrounded him, making him bewitched.

After Ji Fengyan explained for so long, Xing Lou was only looking at the bottle in his hand. Ji Fengyan felt that he was really interested in the pills and did not say anything else. She sat back and swallowed her saliva to soothe her throat.

Xing Lou looked up Ji Fengyan, who had returned to her seat, and it was difficult to tell what he was thinking.
