Protagonist:
Yan Qianqian
Seeing this, Yue Yi said softly, "Since that's the case, let's stop here for today." Before the words had even fallen, Qianqian lay down on the ground and tightly shut her eyes, as if she would enter sweet dreamland the very next second, wishing she could fall sound asleep right there and not get up.
An Wang stepped forward steadily, looking at Qianqian lying on the ground, and said softly, "Qianqian, quickly get up, go back and take a hot bath, then have a good rest for a while."
However, Qianqian still lay lazily on the ground, replying listlessly, "Father, your daughter really can't be bothered to move; let's talk about it later."
An Wang shook his head helplessly and persuaded, "The ground is cold, you can't keep lying there, get up quickly!" Only to see Qianqian pout her little mouth and complain, "Father is really no fun, I just can't get up." Having said that, she lay even more stiffly straight.
Seeing this, An Wang had no choice but to step forward personally, reach out and gently pinch the back of Qianqian's collar, then immediately employ lightness skill, like a gust of wind instantly carrying Qianqian back to Wufangyuan, and with a casual toss, threw her onto the ground.
At this moment, Mantou, who happened to be sweeping in the garden, saw this scene, hurriedly put down the broom in hand, stepped forward quickly to salute An Wang, and called out respectfully, "Lord Wang, peace!"
An Wang nodded slightly, pointing at Qianqian on the ground and instructed, "Go, give her a good bath; this girl trained in martial arts today and is probably exhausted, unwilling to move even a bit."
Mantou hurriedly responded, "Yes, Lord Wang rest assured, your servant will certainly take good care of Miss." After An Wang turned and left, Mantou then carefully walked to Qianqian's side, gently pushed her, and asked with concern, "Miss, are you alright? Still breathing?"
Only to hear Qianqian reply in a daze, "Mm... alive... Mantou, quickly throw this miss onto the bed, many thanks..." Hearing this, Mantou couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking that she, a weak woman, had no strength to carry Miss to the bed.
Thinking it over, she decided to call Baozi, Jiaozi, and Miantiao to help. Before long, the four of them hurried over.
After a concerted effort, they finally successfully lifted Qianqian, slowly moved to the small couch, and gently placed her on it. Then, Mantou thoughtfully fetched a soft small blanket and gently covered Qianqian with it. At this moment Qianqian was already exhausted to the extreme, eyes tightly shut, and soon entered sweet dreamland, emitting faint snores.
When Yan Shuang'er slowly walked out of Shufang, she originally intended to go straight to her own room, but just as she was about to step through the door, Mantou waiting beside her softly told her, "Third Miss, Miss is currently sleeping soundly inside."
Yan Shuang'er nodded slightly, indicating she already knew, but curiosity couldn't help rising in her heart. It was currently afternoon; by reason it was not a usual sleeping time — what reason made Qianqian fall into such deep sleep at this moment?
Carrying this doubt, Yan Shuang'er lightened her footsteps and carefully entered the room. Only to see Qianqian lying quietly on the bed, sleeping exceptionally sweetly, so much so that even Yan Shuang'er's faint footsteps failed to wake her.
Yan Shuang'er slowly approached the bedside, carefully examining Qianqian. She discovered to her surprise that Qianqian slept very soundly, breathing even and heavy, as if completely immersed in dreamland.
Even more striking was that Qianqian's hair was slightly messy, seemingly soaked by sweat then naturally air-dried, causing some strands to become somewhat stiff. Yan Shuang'er gently extended a finger, lightly rubbed those dry strands, then stood up and turned to walk out the door.
Just as she reached the doorway, Yan Shuang'er saw Mantou waiting outside. She couldn't help asking, "Mantou, where did Qianqian go? How did she get exhausted like this?"
Mantou hurriedly replied, "Miss, Qianqian went to spar in martial arts with Miss Yue Yi today." Hearing this answer, a puzzled look appeared on Yan Shuang'er's face. One must know, normally Qianqian treated martial arts practice as three days fishing, two days drying nets; such diligent hard work was truly out of character.
However, on second thought, recalling that Qianqian had once vowed to become Wulin Alliance Leader, her now willing to put effort into martial arts was also within reason. Thus, the doubts in Yan Shuang'er's heart gradually dissipated, and she no longer pursued the matter further. But looking at the exhausted Qianqian before her, her heart involuntarily stirred with a pang of heartache.
Yan Shuang'er said gently, "Mantou, remember to instruct the kitchen to prepare hot water, so Qianqian can bathe when she wakes." Mantou hurriedly agreed, "Alright, Miss, your servant will go do it now!" Before the words fell, Mantou ran off like a gust of wind in great haste.
Yan Shuang'er did not go disturb the still-sleeping Qianqian, but alone walked leisurely to the courtyard, picked up a leisure book, and sat contentedly on that antique rocking chair, enjoying the comfort of warm sunlight falling on her body.
Just then, Daji ambled over. Only to see it leap lightly, actually jumping onto the rocking chair with great ease, then lying down obediently beside Yan Shuang'er.
Seeing this, Yan Shuang'er smiled faintly, lowered her head and gently stroked Daji's soft smooth fur. Daji seemed to enjoy this caress, narrowing its eyes in comfort, its throat emitting "gulu gulu" sounds from time to time.
Yan Shuang'er stroked Daji quietly for a while, then returned her attention to the book in hand. The whole scene appeared exceptionally peaceful and warm.
Time flowed quietly by; unknown how long passed, suddenly from inside the room came an earth-shattering howl: "Ah~ so comfortable~ Mantou ah~" Hearing this shout, Mantou dared not have the slightest delay, hurriedly stepped forward quickly and pushed open the door, and upon entering saw Qianqian lazily lying on the small couch slowly sitting up, stretching her limbs while yawning and stretching lazily.
Almost simultaneously, Yan Shuang'er also stepped into the room with light steps. Her gaze swept over Qianqian, she frowned slightly, covered her mouth and smiled, "Look at you, go wash up quickly, your whole body gives off a stink!"
Qianqian lightly sniffed her own sleeve, a faint sweaty odor instantly assailing her nose. She couldn't help frowning and muttering, "Aiya, there really is a sweat smell!" Then turned her head to instruct Mantou beside her, "Mantou, quickly go prepare some water for me to bathe." Hearing the order, Mantou sprang into action, only to see her hands and feet exceptionally nimble as she ran toward the kitchen.
