What was the happiest and most satisfying thing in a woman’s life?
It was to have a person with whom she could be with, to support each other until old age, through thick and thin.
She hoped that their Nannan could also meet such a person and meet the right person.
Unfortunately, Feng Mohan helped her uncle brush his face in front of the two elders, but failed to invite Liu Yusheng.
Xue Qinglian has hung up that sign on his door again!
Good thing the door was not closed. Otherwise, with the lonely man and woman inside, he would have rushed in and beat that guy!
The young lady told him not to disturb them for the time being, so Feng Mohan left sullenly.
Imperial Uncle, I’ve done my best. You’d better proceed on your own.
Qian Wanjin also lived in the same courtyard. Upon hearing the boy shouting breakfast, he felt like a cat was scratching his heart.
He wanted to eat something badly. His stomach was growling. He hadn’t eaten all night.
But that ridiculously strong woman was there. He didn’t want to go. He saw red whenever he caught sight of her!
Qian Wanjin flopped on the covers, tossing and turning and moaning in pain.
Scallion pancakes… radish broth…
He could smell the aroma even this far. Damn, he must be starving to have hallucinations!
When a plate of pancakes and a bowl of radish soup sprinkled with green chopped scallions really appeared in front of him, Qian Wanjin almost jumped up from the bed.
“This is my room! Who told you to come in?!” Qian Wanjin sternly glared at the woman standing by the bed. “Barging into a man’s chambers, are you a woman or not?!”
Shi Xianrou put the stuff on the table, walked toward him, and propped her hands on the edge of the bed. “Am I a woman? Wouldn’t you know if you try to see?”
Boom!
Qian Wanjin only felt that his whole body was on fire and smoking. He pointed shaky fingers at the woman, but couldn’t string a retort for a long while.
“Hungry? Come and eat.” Instead of staring at the man’s red face, she grabbed his trembling finger and pulled him down to the table.
Qian Wanjin hemmed and hawed and wanted to leave with his pine straight. But, the aroma in the air was making his mouth water!
Besides, this was his room! The person who flirted with him was sitting there calmly as if nothing happened, so why should he, the object of the flirting, flee?!
How humiliating!
Enduring the urge to escape, Qian Wanjin sat down heavily, grabbed the pancakes and ate.
And he had to eat slowly in front of her! Lest she really thought he was afraid of her!
“Eat slowly, take a sip of soup, don’t choke.” The woman said, while reaching out and tearing a small piece of pancake into her mouth.
“Didn’t you give it to me? Why are you grabbing it!”
“I was afraid that you were hungry, so I took them and came here. I have not eaten yet.”
“….” Qian Wanjin’s eyes drifted around, suddenly not daring to look at that gorgeous and heroic face.
A very strange sensation welled up in his heart, so weird, and… a little sweet.
Like eating a piece of candy.
“I’ll share some pancakes, but the soup is mine. If you rob me again, I won’t have anything to drink!”
“All right, I’ll leave all of it for you.”
“You didn’t think of filling an extra bowl. So stupid.” His hemming and hawing was reduced to muttering.
Shi Xianrou raised her eyes and focused on the man who was buried in the pancake. Her brows lifted, and an imperceptible smile spilled out from her eyes.
The sound of discussion in Xue Qinglian’s room drifted in faintly.
“Lucky Nannan did not eat breakfast either. Seriously, she starts working without breakfast, yet she calls herself a doctor. She doesn’t know how to take care of herself…”
Shi Xianrou looked over there. “I’ll send some over to them later.”
“No need!” Qian Wanjin was in a better mood and began to speak naturally. “Lucky Nannan is like that. She doesn’t like to be disturbed when working. She will eat by herself when she’s done.”
After a pause, Qian Wanjin moved closer to the woman. “You’re staying in the courtyard with Lucky Nannan. Do you know what happened to her and Feng Qingbai? Why is she suddenly ignoring him?”
It was too weird. Lucky Nannan has always been very good-tempered and only had eyes for Feng Qingbai. They were all backgrounds.
But today, she didn’t even look at Feng Qingbai.
It was abnormal.
With that in mind, Qian Wanjin slapped the table and winced in pain. “Did that bastard, Feng Qingbai, bully Lucky Nannan?”
“Feng Qingbai is returning to the capital in a couple of days.” Shi Xianrou naturally pulled the man’s palm and blew. “Do not get involved in this matter. Bystanders shouldn’t intervene and let them solve it on their own. If you rush to question, Lucky Nannan will only be more unhappy.”
“Oh.” Qian Wanjin drew his hand back and buried his head to eat, not daring to look up at her again.
The feeling of his palm being blown by the warm breath lingered, and even left a numbing sensation in his heart.
…Damn it, is this what a woman should do?
Why did he feel that he was the wife?
Liu Yusheng spent the morning with Xue Qinglian. After observing him refine medicine, she tried it on her own. She failed once, but successfully refined a pill the second time.
This speed made Xue Qinglian dumbfounded.
He was considered to be the most top-notch talent in Baicao Valley. When he first learned refining techniques, it took him a whole day to figure out the trick!
This young lady failed once, then succeeded in refining. Moreover, he distinguished the refined pill, and the combination of medicine properties was perfect! Was she still human?
If he took such a disciple, he would be at the end of his wits within half a month and shot to death on the beach by her!
Liu Yusheng was oblivious to the speed of her learning.
In her previous life, she had twenty years of medical foundation. Furthermore, she started to refine her own medicine for more than ten years. The only difference was that she condensed something into a pill.
Hence, in her opinion, it was more apt to say that when conditions were ripe, success would come.
When she left the second courtyard, she saw Feng Qingbai standing at the entrance of the inner courtyard, leaning against the wall and waiting for her.
She’d been immersed in refining medicine all morning and did not have time to pay attention to him, so he waited.
This level of patience was already his limit.
He did not want the only time left for them to be wasted in anger when he was about to leave.
“Shengsheng…” The girl walked towards him, and Feng Qingbai greeted her in an attempt to explain.
It came as a surprise when the girl beamed upon seeing him.
“Feng Qingbai, I learned to refine medicine. I can refine medicine for you!” She stood before him and looked up at him, her eyes smiling into crescents, brighter than the blazing sun.
She was happy, very happy to be able to refine better pills for him.
Feng Qingbai felt stuffed. At this point, he suddenly didn’t want to say anything.
It was redundant to say anything.
He reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms.
What qualms, what avoiding arousing suspicions – they were all tossed aside!
Now, he just wanted to absorb her into his body!
“You are about to go back. I can’t help you much, and I only know how to make medicine and heal people. The only thing I can do for you is probably to refine some medicine for you to protect yourself…”
“Enough, Shengsheng. That’s more than enough.” Feng Qingbai muttered.
If she kept talking, he was afraid he couldn’t contain himself and whisk her away with him!
The lady obediently snuggled in his arms. She let him hug her and did not let go. “Feng Qingbai, I am not angry with you.”
“I know.”
She was just unwilling to let him go.
He, too.
“Feng Qingbai, in the next two days, I have to refine medicine properly. I may not have a lot of time to accompany you.”
“No big deal. You refine medicine, and I’ll accompany you.”
