Chapter 1104: The Amnesiac Female "Hunter" vs. the Transmigrated Lady in the Mountains (Part 20)

She always thought that leaving together was a certainty, so she never believed that the two would separate.

But Shih Lei, perhaps he always thought in his heart that when he regained his memory and left, that would be the time they parted?

That’s why every time he heard news of her departure, he felt unhappy and his mood would drop.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to leave with her, but rather, he never dared to imagine that he could go with her.

This man...

Gu Shengyin looked at the excited, flushed man and felt a delicate sense of heartache spreading within her.

Is he lacking confidence?

Feeling his status is humble, so he never dares to covet anything that doesn’t belong to him.

Understanding Shih Lei’s thoughts made Gu Shengyin’s eyes sting with a bit of acidity.

She slightly raised her head, forcing that sour feeling back, and then she smiled.

"Of course you can, I need Big Brother Shih to take me out." Gu Shengyin replied this way.

Shih Lei, however, blushed looking at Gu Shengyin’s smile.

This was the second time he saw Ah Luan smile.

Unlike the first time, this time when Ah Luan smiled, her eyes were full of him; her expression was gentle, her gaze warm.

If a stranger came into this forest at this moment and saw Ah Luan like this, they would surely think they had seen a fairy from the mountain?

Shih Lei thought, Ah Luan’s smile is so beautiful, it would be nice if she smiled more often.

"Hmm?"

Hearing Gu Shengyin’s puzzled question, Shih Lei realized that he had unconsciously spoken his thoughts out loud.

His face turned even redder, and he stammered, "No...nothing, I didn’t say anything just now."

Gu Shengyin, who had heard the words clearly: "..."

Did he really think saying such a thing would make her not hear it?

She looked at the slightly awkward Shih Lei and sighed softly.

"Big Brother Shih, you are my savior, don’t be so restrained in front of me."

Every time Shih Lei faced her, he would become very nervous.

Gu Shengyin had noticed this issue from the start, but Shih Lei’s attitude had become increasingly natural lately; she thought gradually it would get better, but clearly, the remaining half month wasn’t enough for Shih Lei to face her more freely.

If he can’t face others frankly and generously, this man might suffer losses in front of her subordinates in the future.

Shih Lei felt a bit embarrassed and tightly gripped the basket in his hand.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to; just every time he sees Ah Luan looking at him with those beautiful eyes, his mind becomes blank.

Under such circumstances, being able to talk and act normally is already quite remarkable.

Gu Shengyin didn’t know; she thought Shih Lei was like this to everyone.

But it wasn’t the case.

She didn’t know for this man born and raised in the mountains, how special she was to him.

Only she could make him different.

...

Back home, Gu Shengyin didn’t waste any time, boiled water and brewed a pot of medicinal soup with those herbs, and both she and Shih Lei drank two bowls.

Watching Shih Lei take the dark stuff from her hands, without changing his expression, and pour it into his mouth, Gu Shengyin felt a warm current rise in her heart.

She remembered Shih Lei questioning what A Xiu had said and even said to be cautious about what goes into one’s mouth.

Yet, he drank the medicine she handed him without hesitation.
