I Am This Type of Woman

Chapter 45 - Sending Thank You Gifts

NOTES:

One shichen - 2 hours

Nubi - This Lowly One, This Servant

After the siblings sat in the pavillion for over half shichen, Ban Heng couldn't stand it anymore. "Jiejie, let's go back. It's too cold here."

Cold wind blew on the face like knife slashes.

"Alright. Let's go." Ban Hua saw his face and neck shrunk like a pitiful puppy, she couldn't help laughing, "Go back."

Ban Heng promptly stood up to leave, but as Ban Hua was still sitting, he hesitated, "Jie, are you in a bad mood?"

Ban Hua gave him a side-eye, "Which eye of yours sees me in a bad mood?"

Ban Heng sat back down, clutched his hot tea cup, "I'll sit with you a little longer?"

"It's fine, I am going back too." Ban Hua rose, patted his round head, "You go."

"I'll go then." Ban Heng ran two steps, turned back again, "I am really going."

Ban Hua helplessly gave him a light kick at the rear, "Still not gone, want to stay in the cold?"

Ban Heng rubbed his rear-end, let out a string of 'hehehe' like a dog freed from it's leash, limbs spread out in joy. Ban Hua watched from behind and couldn't help but shake her head, laughing.

Such a silly brother......

If the dreams really came true, she would die beautifully clad in fox fur, and her family would be taken care of. But her silly brother, what would happen to him?

T/N - (Refresher: Ban Hua dreamt of a scene where she was lying dead on the snowy ground, and a man dressed in black gave an order that her family be treated well. I think Ban Hua wasn't as calm and indifferent as what she showed on the outside.)

The next morning Ban Heng heard her sister was unable to sleep because she ate too much at dinner, he felt stupid that he couldn't sleep either from worrying about her. He went out to meet some good friends, they wondered what he had done at night to look so tired.

"The moon was bright last night, Brother Ban must have been with a beauty, or drinking under the moon." Zhou Changxiao hooked his arm around Ban Heng's neck, "Am I right?"

Ban Heng slapped him away, he said with a disgusted look, "Drinking under the moon is correct, but with my sister, not with a beauty."

"If I could enjoy the moon with Hua Jiejie, I am willing to stay up all night too." Zhou Changxiao had a dreamy expression, "Under the hazy moonlight, the beauty in fine clothes, she is the fairy of the moon, the most magnificent sight in the world."

"Shut up!" Ban Heng disliked jokes about his sister. "I came to see you today because I want to ask you something."

"What is it?" Zhou Changxiao and the few other idlers became interested, "Put a sack on Xie Qilin's head, or teach Shen Yu a lesson?"

Ban Heng: "......"

"Rong Daren had spoken on behalf of us," Ban Heng was a little embarrassed, "I am worried they will give him troubles after he offended Left Minister Yan. I want to ask you to help me find out."

"You still don't know?" Zhou Changxiao was surprised, "The Yan family is busy saving themselves, how will they have time to trouble Rong Daren?"

"What happened to Yan family?" Ban Heng looked at Zhou Changxiao in confusion, while the other friends looked at him like he was an idiot.
