Across Time And Space

Her lips tilted up as she approached him slowly .

As if sensing her presence, the man opened up his eyes . The corner of his lips tilted up .

"Second brother! What are you doing here?" Mingyue asked .

"I come to see you . " Jiang Xiao Tian said .

"Something wrong?"

Xiao Tian chuckled at her question . "Can I only look for my sister when there"s something wrong? We haven"t seen each other for a while is this how you greet me?"

Mingyue bit her lips, and she smiled sheepishly . "I didn"t mean it that way . I missed you so much, second brother!"

She studied his weary expression . After being away from home for a long time, Xiao Tian had grown thinner . Her gaze softened as she looked at him . "How long has it been? Five years?"

Xiao Tian nodded . His gaze shifted as he looked uncomfortable .

Then, Mingyue noticed that a few female physicians were looking at their direction . She knew that the girls were checking out on her brother . But none of them dared to approach him due to his cold demeanor .

Her second brother, Jiang Xiao Tian had the best look among her three brothers . Although he appeared cold to outsiders, he was the warmest to Mingyue . With his good look and great build, he was popular among the girls . If only he were not that unapproachable…

"Can we go somewhere else?" Xiao Tian said with a grimace . "I feel like a monkey in a cage . "

Mingyue sent Ying Yi to her task and pulled Xiao Tian towards her personal greenhouse .

Once she stepped into the greenhouse, Mingyue wrapped her hands around his waist and rested her head on his chest . She took a deep breath and smiled . "I"m glad you returned home safely, Second brother . "

Jiang Xiao Tian patted her sister on her hair . Then he loosened up her arms from him . He stared at his sister for a while and pinched her softly on her nose .

"Should I wait for you so that we could go home together?"

"It will be a while until my shift end . Are you sure you want to wait for me?"

Mingyue tied up her hair into a neat ponytail and slid on an ap.r.o.n . Then, she pulled out a wooden chair for her brother to sit on .

"You took care of the herbs very well . You must have spent a lot of time in here," Xiao Tian said . His eyes roamed around as he looked at the variety of herbs in front of him . This was the first time he had stepped into the greenhouse, and he was amazed .

Mingyue laughed as she took a watering can and filled the container with water from the small water bucket to water the plants .

"I have . His Majesty bestowed me this personal greenhouse with the hope that I can study more about these rare herbs to find a cure for the Princess . " Mingyue said .

Xiao Tian nodded . It was then that he realized that he had never seen most of the herbs planted in the greenhouse . He knew that his sister had been researching herbs and medicine along with their grandfather to treat their cousin"s poison .

"Second brother, when did you arrive at the capital?" Mingyue asked .
