Chapter 1864 - 1859: Amazing Maneuvers

Seeing Yao Ling’s strange expression, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit stood on tiptoe and quickly looked over.

Soon, its expression also started to look odd...

The reason is that it saw Hei and Xiaobai approaching, carrying a big pile of medicinal herbs...

Earlier, after Hu Xiaobei left, it and they evenly divided all their findings.

After dividing them, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit suggested that it could help store their portion.

That’s because the Treasure-hunting Rabbit knew they weren’t very good at preserving such precious medicinal herbs, which could lead to the loss of their potency.

However, they didn’t agree...

Because they didn’t agree, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit didn’t push further, and just hid all its own herbs here...

Previously, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit thought they might find a cool place to store their herbs.

But now, they’re directly here...

The Treasure-hunting Rabbit understood they probably also wanted to place those precious medicinal herbs here...

...

"Dang! Is this place so small? How come I keep running into it everywhere!"

Whether it was Hei or Xiaobai, upon seeing the Treasure-hunting Rabbit, they felt like thousands of alpacas were galloping wildly in their minds.

Earlier, they had divided these priceless medicinal herbs with the Treasure-hunting Rabbit.

After the division, they were worried about how to preserve them.

So, when the Treasure-hunting Rabbit offered to store them for free, they were somewhat tempted.

But in the end, they decided against it...

Because they still felt Kenghuo was unreliable...

They worried that once it had stored them for a while, they’d end up lost...

Although the possibility wasn’t very high, they didn’t dare to take the risk.

Thus, they chose to store them themselves.

After choosing, they discussed for a long time and eventually decided to place them here in the Medicinal Garden.

In their view, placing them here had to be the best choice.

Because there were already a lot of medicinal herbs growing here, indicating that it’s particularly suitable for herb growth...

...

Seeing their slightly dejected look, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit knew they probably didn’t want to see it now!

With a light smile, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit spoke casually, "Oh wow, this is destined, we’re meeting here again. Are you guys planning to place your herbs here as well?"

Upon hearing the Treasure-hunting Rabbit’s words, they were a bit surprised and questioned back, "You already placed them here?"

Seeing their startled appearance, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit gave a carefree smile, "That’s right! I placed them here earlier; it’s a very suitable spot."

"Is that so!"

They sighed with some frustration...

Having found such a good spot, only for the Treasure-hunting Rabbit to beat them to it...

The Treasure-hunting Rabbit noticed their frustration, sighed silently, and said, "Alright, don’t be upset, just put yours together with mine, I guarantee I won’t touch them, how’s that?"

"Really? You’re not lying to us?"

"Of course I’m not lying! Earlier, I was a bit selfish, always prioritizing myself, but now, I won’t do that anymore."

The Treasure-hunting Rabbit knew that the reason they declined earlier was because it had been too selfish before.

Now, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit resolves to change, and realizes that friendship is more precious than medicinal herbs...

Listening to the Treasure-hunting Rabbit’s sincere words, Hei and Xiaobai exchanged a glance.

Soon, they smiled.

They decided to give the Treasure-hunting Rabbit a chance to prove it could change!

"Alright, we’ll place them with yours!"

"That’s right!"

Hearing their quick and hearty reply, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit smiled excitedly.

Soon, it placed their herbs together with all its own!

After placing them, it carefully covered the treasure spot.

Once everything was done, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit raised its head to look at Yao Ling, and softly asked, "What were you thinking about earlier, was it my owner?"

"What? How could I be thinking about him!"

Yao Ling quickly waved her hands, denying adamantly after being caught.

However, this denial gave off a vibe of ’the guilty one protests too much’.

"Really?"

Seeing the Treasure-hunting Rabbit’s disbelief, she hesitated and explained again, "Of course! We’re not familiar, how could I be thinking about him!"

"Oh, come on, we aren’t blind; it’s obvious you like our owner, and honestly, it’s nothing to be ashamed of!"

"Exactly, our owner is handsome and talented, it’s normal for you to like him!"

"Right, right!"

Listening to their compliments, Yao Ling smiled.

"I used to think Brother Xiaobei was pretty eloquent, but didn’t expect you guys to be even more so!"

"We’re just speaking the truth! You should face your heart."

"Exactly!"

"Alright, you’d best go now! I want some peace and quiet!"

"Alright then!"

Realizing Yao Ling was genuinely embarrassed now, they exchanged a glance, humming a tune as they left...

...

"Could it be that they were actually right just now? Could it be that I’m secretly fond of him?"

After they walked away, Yao Ling looked into the distance, silently murmuring to herself.

After musing, she didn’t continue to dwell and started wandering around the Medicinal Garden.

Meanwhile, Hu Xiaobei was squatting idly under a tree, watching ants climb the trunk.

Hu Xiaobei had been watching for quite a while because Cao Lingbing was changing clothes in the room.

Earlier, after Hu Xiaobei and she returned, she said she wanted to go to the room to change clothes.

Knowing that women take a long time to change clothes, Hu Xiaobei had advised her that there was no need to change, as her outfit already looked good.

But she insisted on changing...

Knowing that she had made up her mind, Hu Xiaobei asked her to be as quick as possible...

At the time, she agreed...

But ultimately, she didn’t stick to it...

"A woman’s words really can’t be trusted at all!"

Muttering this, Hu Xiaobei silently sighed again...

Another ten or so minutes passed, Hu Xiaobei’s legs were starting to feel numb from squatting when he finally heard some movement.

"Has she finally finished changing?"

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei eagerly looked towards the room...

He saw the door open...

"She’s really done, she’s really done!"

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei immediately stood up.

But a few seconds later, Hu Xiaobei was dumbstruck.

Because she walked out wearing identical clothes as before.

"What’s going on? Are you done changing?"

After speaking, Hu Xiaobei heard a rather frustrated response, "No! This is the previous outfit! I just chose what to change into and came out to tell you I’ll be ready soon! Don’t rush!"

"I..."

Hearing her explanation, Hu Xiaobei opened his mouth in astonishment but couldn’t find any words...

Honestly, Hu Xiaobei was really stunned by her actions, because it was just too absurd...
