He looked lovingly at the lively princess in front of him, and said with a smile, "I heard that you want to go up the mountain to pick wormwood? I know where the wormwood grows the most vigorously. Do you want to come with me?"

"How did you know that I was going to pick wormwood?" Lingxi asked strangely, before Curtis could answer, she already had the answer in her heart, "I see, did you listen to what my mommy said?"

Seeing that Lingxi guessed it, Curtis no longer concealed it, and nodded lightly, "Yes, I met the queen just now, and I heard from her that you wanted to go up the mountain to pick wormwood, so I volunteered, and asked Accompany you to the mountain to protect your safety."

In fact, Curtis didn't tell the truth. He entered the palace early in the morning not because he had something to meet the Queen, but was directly recruited by Chu Fengyi.

Then Chu Fengyi raised a few words, and Curtis, who had long been attracted to Lingxi, naturally understood, and volunteered to protect Lingxi from going up the mountain.

As for Ping Shun, Curtis has always been hostile to him, and I heard from Chu Fengyi that Ping Shun is helping to compile the chronicle of Country W, it is simply to create opportunities for him!

For Curtis, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to accompany Lingxi to pick wormwood on the mountain.

He thought the same as Chu Fengyi in his heart, thinking that as long as he was given a chance, he could also win Lingxi's favor.

And the unsightly Ping Shun will not appear this time, it is definitely a great opportunity for him to win the hearts of beauties smoothly!

Curtis had a perfect calculation in his heart, but Lingxi shook his head lightly, "Let's forget it, I think..."

"Do you want to wait for Pingshun to accompany you up the mountain?" Curtis cut off Lingxi's words without waiting for her to finish, and deliberately misinterpreted, "I see, so in the eyes of the princess, I, Curtis, are like that Unbearable, I don't even have the qualifications to accompany you up the mountain to pick wormwood."

Lingxi has always been soft and soft in her heart, and she can't tolerate being misunderstood the most.

In particular, Curtis lowered his head on purpose, pretending to be hurt, which made Lingxi wave his hands uncomfortably, "That's not the case, you misunderstood, it's not that I don't want you to accompany me, but..."

The corner of Curtis's mouth quietly raised a calculated smile, cut off Lingxi's words again, and continued to act like his self-esteem was hurt, "Princess, I don't need to say any more, I know that my status is humble, and I am not worthy to accompany the princess to the mountain. "

"No, I..." Lingxi was stunned dumbly, and found that no matter what he said at this moment, it seemed to be wrong.

In desperation, she sighed faintly, shook her head dejectedly and said, "You really misunderstood, I really didn't mean that."

"Then let me accompany the princess up the mountain to pick grass, otherwise I still feel that the princess just despises me for being too humble." Curtis deliberately continued to misinterpret, waiting for Lingxi to nod in agreement.

Lingxi subconsciously looked back at the house where Pingshun lived, and nodded helplessly after a while, "Okay, we can go together, but we have to leave a note for Pingshun, so that he won't find me when he comes back."

Although Curtis was reluctant, he had no intention of disobeying Lingxi, and nodded slowly, "Okay, everything will be done according to the princess."

Lingxi immediately ran back to Pingshun's room, wrote a note, told herself and Curtis to go to the mountain to pick wormwood, and pasted it on Pingshun's door, and then left with peace of mind.

Curtis glanced mockingly at the note pasted on the door, and tore it up calmly, then followed Lingxi's footsteps and headed up the mountain.

At this time, Ping Shun was still in the library of the palace, compiling the chronicle of Country W according to Chu Fengyi's order...

Wormwood doesn't grow everywhere in Country W, only on the cliffs of the back mountain near the sea.

And there, it was the place where Lan Xin fell off the cliff with Lingxi on her back, and there was a long car distance from the imperial palace.

Curtis drove Lingxi all the way, looking back at her from time to time, trying to find a suitable topic.

But Lingxi not only insisted not to sit in the co-pilot seat, but also closed his eyes and fell asleep the whole time after getting in the car, looking listless.

Curtis opened his mouth several times, not knowing what topic to talk about so that it would not be so abrupt.

After struggling several times, the car finally arrived at the foot of the cliff behind the mountain.

Curtis stopped the car and walked down to help Lingxi open the door, "Lingxi, we are here."

Only then did Lingxi slowly open her eyes, and got out of the car listlessly.

"I think you don't seem very comfortable, do you want me to carry you up?" Curtis said, and stretched out his hand towards Lingxi.

But as soon as he handed it over, Lingxi evaded to the side without a trace, "No, I can go by myself."

After finishing speaking, she reluctantly smiled at Curtis and walked up the mountain.

Seeing Lingxi who was obviously avoiding him, Curtis withdrew his outstretched hand and scratched his head in embarrassment.

In fact, as a well-known figure in country W, there are still many girls who usually hang around Curtis.

However, he never pretended to talk to those girls who took the initiative to hang around him, thinking that they were vulgar fans.

Only Lingxi in front of him, whose every move affects Curtis's mind.

She is like the purest snow lotus flower in the snowy land, which makes people yearn for her, and she can't help but want to worship her.

Such a girl is something that Curtis does not want to let go of.

Even though Lingxi is somewhat repelling his contact now, Curtis never thought of giving up.

He believed that as long as he gave enough sincerity, Lingxi would feel it sooner or later.

Then as time went by, I was gradually moved by my sincerity.

After making up his mind, Curtis secretly clenched his fists and strode towards Lingxi.

He was tall and long-legged, and soon came to Lingxi, and asked with a smile, "Didn't you come to pick wormwood? Did you bring any tools?"

Lingxi was stunned for a moment, with a daze on his face, "It's just wormwood, just pick whatever you want, do you need to bring tools?"

In fact, Lingxi didn't want to be with Curtis on this trip.

The most ideal person in her mind is Ping Shun, but because she couldn't find Ping Shun, and Curtis volunteered for the job, she followed along.

As for picking wormwood to make glutinous rice cakes, Lingxi suddenly lost interest in this aspect.

Curtis didn't know the twists and turns in Lingxi's heart, and thought she really didn't understand.

He smiled and took out a pack of disposable gloves and two exquisite small bags from his pocket, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I have prepared for it. There is nothing difficult to pick off those wormwood, but if the juice gets on your hands Or on clothes, it’s just hard to wash off.”

Lingxi was a little stunned. She really didn't expect that Curtis, who looked big and thick, had such a delicate mind.

She took the disposable gloves and bag handed over by Curtis, and thanked softly, "Fortunately, you have prepared, thank you."
