When they arrived around the area with a shady tree, Mingyue took a deep breath . Her eyes were wide as she saw the herbs she was looking for grew on the ground . She brushed away the fallen leaves around the area and looked at the herbs she was looking for in awe . Then she bent down to study the herbs .
Once Mingyue was sure that the plant Xiao Mi found was indeed the herbs they were looking for, Mingyue took out her notebook . There was a map of the mountain between the pages . Mingyue jotted down something on the map and her journal .
"Is there anything that I can help you with?"
Mingyue looked up with a jolt . She was too engrossed on studying the herbs that she forgot that Yang Yun was with her . A slight blush crept on her face . Mingyue shook her head and said, "I'm fine . "
Yang Yun let out a sigh, knowing that his fiance had forgotten about him momentarily . Once Mingyue had her interest in studying a herb, everything around her seems to fade away .

"In that case, you should stay with Xiao Mi quietly while I look around . " Yang Yun said .
Jiang Mingyue nodded . "You go first . Don't worry about me . "
Yang Yun frowned at her carefree attitude, while he was worrying that something might happen to this girl while he looked around . He turned to Xiao Mi and their gaze met .
The black cat stared at him for a while before he meowed . Then, he blinked lazily and looked away .
Yang Yun felt the corner of his mouth twitched . Why does it feel like the black cat was looking down on him? It must be his imagination .
He stood there quietly, observing Mingyue and the area around them . Once he was sure that there was no danger, he jumped up the higher ground to scout the area .
From up the tree, he could see Mingyue was digging the soil around the herbs carefully . Xiao Mi, who was beside her was playing around . Soon, Mingyue stood up and headed under a shady tree . She squatted down to study something she found . He guessed that Mingyue had found another herb to study .
Yang Yun descended the tree and headed towards the river . He took out his flask and filled them with water . Then, he turned around to where Mingyue was .
When he arrived, Mingyue was busy digging another plant from the ground . The black cat meowed when he saw him .
Mingyue looked up when she heard Xiao Mi's warning . Her lips curved into a smile . "Yang Yun! You're back!"
"What are you doing?" Yang Yun cast a glance towards the herbs Mingyue had studied before he left .
"I found ginseng! I'm guessing that this ginseng would be a few hundred years . " Mingyue said excitedly . Finding ginseng under the fallen leaves was a miracle!
"That's good . " Yang Yun said . He took out the water flask and handed it to Mingyue . "But first, drink some water . "
Mingyue drank the water obediently before she continued to dig the soil carefully with a trowel . After a while, she stopped to look at Yang Yun with a frown . "Yang Yun . "
Hearing Mingyue calling his name softly, Yang Yun's lips curved into a smile . From her tone, he could guess that she had a request from him . "What?"
Mingyue lifted her right hand . "I love this thumb ring you gave me, but it can be inconvenient for me to dig around the soil, with this . "
Yang Yun tilted his head sideways . "So, you don't like it?"
Jiang Mingyue frowned . It seemed that he had misunderstood her . "That's not what I meant," she said . "I'm worried that the ring might slip off my thumb . " She slid off the ring from her thumb to demonstrate how easy it will be for her to lose the ring . "Next time, find me a thread so that I can hang it around my neck . I don't want to lose this ring accidentally . "
Yang Yun laughed and nodded . "Alright . Next time, I will find something to help you hang the ring around your neck . "
