Happy Lunar New Year's Eve!!!
After the banquet, with the matters of the Lin Family settled, Ding Fan did not continue to stay at Shanshui Renjia. After all, Ding Fan was not accustod to such social occasions.
Upon returning to the Lin Family's villa, Ding Fan first checked on the Fragrant Mind-Consolidating Grass he had planted in the flowerbed.
What surprised Ding Fan was that the seeds of the Fragrant Mind-Consolidating Grass were dried up and dead, just like when he first planted them in the Dongcheng Ning Family Pharmacy.
Ding Fan's brows slightly furrowed, and at this mont, he rembered the villa in Dancheng where he had lived after his rebirth.
The flowerbed in that villa could grow the Fragrant Mind-Consolidating Grass. In fact, after he had collected the seeds, Zhou Ruoran even harvested a seedling.
Ding Fan felt that he should make a trip back to Dancheng during this period. He wanted to see what was different about the soil in the flowerbed of the Dancheng villa.
This ti Ding Fan's visit to Honggang City was initially for Lin Zhanting's illness, but now with Lin Zhanting's illness cured and the Lin Family's crisis over, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
Now what Ding Fan still found himself concerned about was the knot in Lin Yanxi's heart.
After this period of treatnt, the knot in Lin Yanxi's heart was almost cleared. Looking at her current condition, just one more massage session, and Lin Yanxi would be thoroughly healed.
That ti at the West Mountain Heavenly Pond, Ding Fan had been injured by the Azure Fla Beast, and if it hadn't been for Lin Yanxi's risky effort to find him later, he would probably have long fallen on West Mountain.
Ding Fan was soone who believed in repaying kindness.
From that mont on, Lin Yanxi beca an incredibly important person in Ding Fan's life. As long as Ding Fan was around, he felt he must take care of Lin Yanxi's affairs.
"Brother Fan..."
While Ding Fan was thinking about Lin Yanxi, behind him ca Lin Yanxi's voice.
Ding Fan turned to look at Lin Yanxi, his face wearing a kind smile. "What's wrong? Did you leave before the banquet ended?"
Lin Yanxi slowly nodded.
During the banquet, Lin Yanxi's eyes never left Ding Fan. When he walked out of the banquet hall, she followed.
"Brother Fan, are you leaving?" Lin Yanxi's eyes gazed at Ding Fan, misting over with a layer of moisture.
The handso beauty, with eyes like the bright autumn moon and such a moving expression, made Ding Fan's heart tremble slightly.
They say a woman's intuition is incredibly accurate.
Ever since Lin Beijiang announced on the stage his plans to take Lin Jiacheng overseas, Lin Yanxi felt sothing off about Ding Fan. She felt that he was going to leave...
"Yeah." Ding Fan did not intend to deceive Lin Yanxi.
"Brother Fan, if I rember correctly, I still have one final massage..." After a mont of despondency, Lin Yanxi's pretty face wore a faint smile.
Ding Fan nodded. "Yes. Let's start now."
Having said that, Ding Fan turned and walked into the villa.
Although Ding Fan had not experienced love in both his lives, even he could feel the affection Lin Yanxi harbored for him.
If not for those feelings, how could Lin Yanxi possibly have ventured alone into the vastness of West Mountain to find him at the risk of her own life...
Yet, Ding Fan could only pretend to be oblivious.
If he couldn't give soone what they wanted, then possessing them for his own selfish desires would cause great harm. Rather than do that, it was better never to give or take in the first place...
As usual, Ding Fan waited quietly in the living room, waiting for Lin Yanxi to change into her pajamas.
anwhile, Lin Yanxi quietly stood beside the mirror in her bedroom.
All this ti, her heart had already been taken by Ding Fan.
Now, Lin Yanxi recalled the first ti she t Ding Fan.
It was at Honggang City's airport. When she went to et him, he was just as calm as he was now. She didn't speak much, and he quietly followed her...
He was always so calm...
With this thought, the corners of Lin Yanxi's lips lifted slightly. A tear fell from her eyes.
Why was there such a sad emotion? Was it because they were about to part? Lin Yanxi rembered the ti she was shut in herself; despite the pain in her heart, she never shed a tear...
In the parking lot outside the airport, Huang Jian ca to trouble her and was later kicked away by Ding Fan... Outside Zongfang Hall, when a white van was about to hit her, it was Ding Fan who had picked her up... In West Mountain, when ng Ying wanted to harm her, it was Ding Fan who stood up and saved her...
Scene by scene, like a movie, played before Lin Yanxi's eyes... From a young age, Lin Yanxi had never had such a feeling. It seed as if with Ding Fan by her side, all problems would be easily solved… He was like a towering mountain...
At that mont, she even had the illusion that she was a lone boat drifting on the vast sea, and Ding Fan was her harbor...
Knock, knock, knock... At this mont, a series of knocks on the door ca from outside. Lin Yanxi knew it was Ding Fan coming in.
"Wait a mont..." Lin Yanxi wiped the tear stains off her face.
During this ti, she had already grown accustod to sleeping with the scent of Ding Fan's faint, pleasant fragrance, but all feasts must end, and tonight was to be the very last ti...
Lin Yanxi slowly shed her clothes and looked at her own delicate and beautiful skin in the mirror, her cheeks turning red. Then she walked to the wardrobe and took out her most beautiful nightgown.
This nightgown was made of thin gauze, and wearing it, one could faintly see the contours of her beautiful figure...
She had co across it while browsing the market two days ago and, finding it beautiful, had bought it.
Although she hadn't thought much of it when purchasing the nightgown, subconsciously, she hoped Ding Fan would see her in it...
Even if their paths were not ant to cross, she wanted Ding Fan to rember her at her most beautiful.
"Co in..." After changing into the nightgown, she lay on the soft bed and gently closed her eyes...
Ding Fan pushed open Lin Yanxi's door and upon entering, he saw Lin Yanxi lying on the soft bed.
The light in the bedroom was soft and warm, the warm tones of the room giving off a cozy feeling.
On the soft bed, Lin Yanxi was wearing a thin nightgown...
The nightgown was large and loose-fitting, barely concealing Lin Yanxi's exquisite figure. The woman's delicate beauty was faintly visible beneath the gauze.
In monts without any barrier, a woman's allure for a man isn't the greatest; rather, it's Lin Yanxi's current partially hidden state that is the most deadly...
Limitless imagination...
Ding Fan was no saint, and he felt his mouth go dry.
Such a cozy room, such fresh and delectable beauty... Not to ntion that Ding Fan is now at the Fourth Level of Qi Cultivation – even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage might not withstand such temptation.
Ding Fan reluctantly recited the Heart Clarity Spell, and when he felt that the fire in his lower abdon wasn't as fierce anymore, he sat down beside Lin Yanxi.
Like always, his large hands gently rested on Lin Yanxi's slender waist.
Perhaps due to the material of Lin Yanxi's nightgown, where he touched, Ding Fan felt a silky smoothness. The warmth from Lin Yanxi's body ca through. Such a feeling could perhaps be described as heart-stirring without exaggeration.
Ding Fan knew this was the last ti he would massage Lin Yanxi. Realizing the significance, he stopped being distracted, recited a round of Heart Clarity Spell, and his hands gently road over Lin Yanxi's back...
In the past, Lin Yanxi would have enjoyed this mont a lot. She used to sleep very soundly after this every night.
However, today, Lin Yanxi tried hard to control herself, not allowing herself to fall asleep. Such monts may only remain mories in the future...
Now, Lin Yanxi couldn't help but recall that night inside a cave in West Mountain.
The snowstorm outside was fierce, while Ding Fan held her with his broad shoulders, and she had fallen asleep feeling his body heat...
A tear fell quietly...
Stone pot, stone bowl, rabbit at... Although simple, what a blissful scene it would be, if with the one she cherished.
Lin Yanxi longed to muster the courage to tell Ding Fan how reluctant she was, how she wished he would stay.
But back in the West Mountain Cave, Ding Fan had already made it clear to her that there was no one he loved in his heart.
Lin Yanxi was a timid woman; she truly feared hearing Ding Fan reject her directly... If that were to happen, her life henceforth would likely be shrouded in darkness.
Therefore, Lin Yanxi kept these words hidden in her heart...
That way, Ding Fan would not feel troubled, and she would not feel sad. Lin Yanxi rembered sothing Hu Jin had once said.
However difficult things were, they would slowly fade with the wash of ti...
Would they truly fade?
Lin Yanxi asked herself this question in her heart.
For a mont, she felt sowhat frightened, afraid of such fading, afraid she would forget Ding Fan...
In a haze, she drifted into a dream, and she saw Ding Fan approaching her with a smile on his face. Lin Yanxi gathered her courage and said to Ding Fan.
"Ding Fan, I like you..."...
Ding Fan channeled the last trace of True Qi into Lin Yanxi's body. By then, all the congested Qi in Lin Yanxi's body had been expelled. He slowly picked up the blanket beside him and gently covered Lin Yanxi.
As Ding Fan turned to leave Lin Yanxi's room, he caught sight of sothing on her bedside table.
It was the stone bowl he had carved for Lin Yanxi in the cave on West Mountain...
Ding Fan gave one last look at Lin Yanxi, then walked out of the room without looking back...
