The more he thought about it, the more Yin Huaixi couldn’t help but look down along her collarbone.

Women’s belts gradually went lower with age. When they were young, most of them wore chest-high dresses, where the belt was above their chest. When they were older, they had to wear high-waisted dresses. The belts were level with their chests, or below their chests. Most women who married had to wear waist-high dresses, and the belts usually at their waists.

In the past, the little girl had always been wearing a high-waisted dress with a belt that was level with her chest.

However, today, her dress had moved down a little. The belt was tied under her chest, revealing her beautiful figure.

Her once wide dress had also become a flared dress.

The skirt of the wide dresses was rather broad.

However, the skirt of flared dresses had to be fixed around the waist. Thus, the skirt seemed a little narrower, and the waist seemed tighter, revealing one’s figure.

Of course, the daughters of wealthy families were worried that a flared dress was not dignified enough, so they would usually wear a thin shirt that reached the bottom of their hips. The thin shirt reflected their hazy figures. As the woman took small steps, the belt at her waist swayed slightly, revealing her lithe and beautiful figure. This made her look even more unforgettable. The once petite and tender little girl seemed to have become a big girl in an instant.

In terms of overall dressing, she had actually not changed much.

However, it was this subtle change that was often the most fatal. According to

Uncle Sun’s most common saying, “Young man, you’re still too young and inexperienced! ”

Yin Huaixi rubbed his face and calmed down a little. For some reason, he remembered that in the few days since he had returned to Xiangping, he had been taking all kinds of medicine and food. He suddenly had a bad feeling. He quickly reached out to touch his nose and heaved a sigh of relief when he did

not feel anything messy.

At this moment, Yu Youyao turned around. “Let’s go up the mountain!”

Yin Huaixi suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and nodded quickly. “In the morning, the mountains are humid, and the roads are slippery. You have to be careful.’

The maidservants did not disturb their masters and all fell far behind them. They played with their own things and only needed to be ordered around enough when their masters instructed them.

In the beginning, the two of them still maintained the rules of men and women traveling together. They maintained a distance of one step. They were close but not intimate enough.

However, there was dew in the mountains, so it was inevitable that the stone path was a little wet and slippery. It was a little difficult to walk. From time to time, Yin Huaixi would pull Yu Youyao along.

As he pulled her, he felt as if his guts were getting fatter. He also felt that the small hand in his hand was as smooth as jade, like a ball of cream. Worried that he wouldn’t be able to hold it if he made a mistake, he couldn’t help but tighten his grip.

After holding it tightly, he felt that the mountain path was steep. The higher they went, the harder it was to walk. It was better to hold her hand and walk. This way, she would have less difficulty.

Usually, when Yu Youyao went out, she always felt that it would take a lot of effort. In addition, her grandmother had passed away less than a year ago, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to travel everywhere,

In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, she would rather stay in the Yu Garden.

However, after coming out, it was a different world.

Hundred Herbs was a tradition since ancient times. Yu Youyao had never participated in it before. Along the way, she picked a lot of wild flowers, vanilla, and some common herbs. She even made an appointment with Auntie Xu and the others to play Hundred Herbs together after picking the flowers and plants.

Yin Huaixi followed behind her. Ever since he returned to Liaodong, he had been busy all day. It had been a long time since he had accompanied her as well as he had in the Yu Residence. It had also been a long time since he had seen her so happy.

At this moment, he suddenly understood.

Ever since he and Yu Youyao had made their intentions clear, the two of them had been spending less time together and more time apart. Their relationship had not progressed for a long time. The two of them had been in a state of ambiguity where they had not reached mutual love for a long time. Yu Youvao had no choice but to return to the oast. when the two of them interacted like “cousins”. She couldn’t improve further to really treat him as her fiance.

With such a neutral relationship, there was always a sense of distance when they interacted.

To put it bluntly, it was because they were spending less and less time together.

Yin Huaixi suddenly said, “The situation in the North is set. I’ll stay in

Xiangping City for a long time.”

When Yu Youyao, who was picking a yellow cypress, heard this, she quickly looked up with joy in her eyes. “That’s great. After being busy for so long, you can finally stop. I’ll arrange some food carefully later and nourish you.”

Yin Huaixi thought of the various medicinal cuisine and soup that had been sent into The Green House incessantly over the past few days. For some reason, he felt his nose heat up, and his expression stiffened. “My health is quite good, so it’s not…”

“Yes, yes.” Yu Youyao interrupted him. “In the future, you’ll have to go into battle to kill the enemy. It’s necessary to nourish your muscles, bones, and blood. I heard from Madam Huang that many soldiers in the army have hidden injuries accumulated because they go into battle all year round to kill the enemy. When they’re young, they won’t be able to tell. When they’re old, all kinds of illnesses and pain will gradually show. They won’t be cured and you can only suffer on your own. General An Yuan has a problem with internal bleeding and often has a headache. Earlier, Madam An Yuan asked me for incense medicine and medicinal recipes that can relieve it.”

Yin Huaixi was speechless. There was nothing wrong with this.

However, the problem was that he was only 19 years old and was in his prime. He was already taking Essence Nourishing Pills and Bone Strengthening Pills every day. If he continued to nourish his body, would he really not go overboard?!

Yu Youyao said righteously, “It’s very difficult to notice some hidden injuries in the body. When the hidden injuries flare up, it’ll be too late. Although your body has recovered, you were so seriously injured back then and delayed for five to six years. Who knows if there are still some hidden injuries inside that haven’t completely recovered? You still have to nourish yourself.”

Yin Huaixi opened his mouth but hesitated.

However, Yu Youyao glared back at him. “You have to listen to me about this. I’ve been learning pharmacology, food, and nourishment from Auntie Xu since I was young. I’m a professional.”

Yin Huaixi rubbed his nose. Which professional would make someone’s nose bleed?!

It was like eating Chinese goldthread in silence and experiencing bitterness but not saying it. What did this mean?

This was it.

The little girl’s eyes did not look big or small, but when her eyes widened, the whites of her eyes looked clear and innocent, and they were inlaid with agate eyes. She looked angry yet happy, and her eyes were filled with emotions. His body was numb, and he wished he could give her his life. How could he dare to refute her?

After picking the cypress, Yu Youyao took a few steps forward and suddenly said in surprise, “Nineteenth Brother, look, I found a Japanese gentian.” Yin Huaixi hurriedly stepped forward.

Yu Youyao looked at the Japanese gentian on the ground with a disappointed expression. “What a pity. The harvesting season of the Japanese gentian is in February, August, November, and December. If we harvest it now, the medicinal properties will be greatly reduced..”
