Chapter 113 Surprise
"Hello, my name is Jiang Mian."

A slightly warm breeze blew by, gently lifting the pink wisps of hair on the rabbit girl's forehead.

Qi Yun felt her palm being held, the warmth and delicate touch of the fingers reaching her palm.

The woman's voice was gentle, like a soft breeze soothing the unease in her heart.

"I... my name is Qiyun," Qiyun hurriedly and weakly began.

"Do you have an older brother named Qixu?" Jiang Mian asked the girl softly, looking down at her.

Actually, she was just guessing. At first, she only thought that the pink hair and the pink lop-eared rabbit looked a bit like Qi Xu, and guessed that she might be Qi Xu's sister. Later, when she heard Li Chengfeng call Fang Qi Yun, she became more certain.

Of course, if not, then it wouldn't matter if she raised another one.

Qi Yun's fingers twitched almost imperceptibly, and she nodded gently, her voice barely audible: "Mm."

“I am his current owner,” Jiang Mian said fluently.

Qi Yun had actually suspected something, and now that the woman said it, it was definitely true. It really was as her brother said. Very good, very good...

"I've heard my brother talk about my sister..." Qi Yun's voice was soft and weak.

Jiang Mian smiled slightly: "Really? What did he say about me?"

"He said my sister is very, very good." Qi Yun also gave a slight, innocent smile.

“That does sound like something he would say.” Jiang Mian’s eyes crinkled into a smile.

Jiang Mian's tone was clearly meant to soothe the rabbit girl's uneasy feelings.

Chi Lin raised an eyebrow slightly, walked behind Jiang Mian, leaned forward slightly, rested his chin on Jiang Mian's shoulder, and said softly, "Sister, my hand hurts so much, come and comfort me."

What's with the rabbit girl? Come and comfort him!

Jiang Mian paused, glanced at the rabbit girl, then at Chi Lin, and after a moment of silence, said, "There are other people here. You really don't stand on ceremony."

"I just love being with my sister, why should I care what others think?" Chi Lin said lazily. "Sister, please comfort me, okay?"

Jiang Mian touched her slightly hot ears.

“Being coquettish won’t work.” Jiang Mian pushed him away. “Alright, I have something to say to Qiyun.”

Chi Lin simply chuckled softly and hoarsely.

Qi Yun's pink eyes were unfocused. Upon hearing the two voices, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her head drooped slightly, as if pretending that she hadn't heard them.

After Jiang Mian pushed Chi Lin away, her expression became somewhat unnatural. She coughed lightly and said, "Qiyun, let me teach you that special potion. Just in case I'm not around and there's no special potion left, you can find a pharmacist to make it, or you can make it yourself if you have the means."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun blinked slowly and gently: "Sister, is it really okay?"

"You can do it now." Jiang Mian smiled faintly.

"Well then, thank you, sister." Qi Yun gave a gentle, harmless, and adorable smile.

So Jiang Mian spent the whole afternoon patiently helping Qi Yun learn about medicinal plants, explaining each step in detail and teaching her how to make her own potions.

"It's done! Very impressive!" Jiang Mian praised without reservation.

Qi Yun blinked gently, her pink eyes unfocused. She slightly curved her lips, her cheeks blushing shyly: "Really?"

"Really?" Jiang Mian readily agreed.

After all, she only taught her once, and Qiyun was able to do it after just one lesson without making a single mistake, which is quite impressive.

"Actually, I learned a lot from Pharmacist Li before," Qi Yun said with a light smile.

"That's very good," Jiang Mian said with a slight smile.

After all, the rabbit girl is blind, making alchemy more difficult for her than for others. Actually, even if someone is blind nowadays, they can be fitted with mechanical eyes, but those are very expensive.

She guessed that the pharmacist Li wouldn't spend money to customize mechanical eyes for a trial orc.

Hearing Jiang Mian's praise, Qi Yun smiled shyly.

Chi Lin naturally stood by as a background figure, watching with a deep gaze as Jiang Mian patiently taught the rabbit girl.

That's really patient.

Or should he gouge out his own eyes and see?

Meanwhile, Qixu had already taken advantage of the chaos to leave, changed her clothes, and went to see a quack doctor before slowly returning home.

During this time, he kept asking the bald man about Qiyun's situation.

But the bald man didn't reply to him.

Qixu lowered her head, her pink eyes filled with a deathly coldness.

My sister has been taken back, and the pharmacist didn't die either, so my sister should be alright...

He was covered in injuries, all hidden under his white shirt. The dizziness from the side effects of the quack doctor's medication made him extremely tired, even just walking was exhausting.

Qi Xu returned to the small building, her eyes still subconsciously searching for Jiang Mian's figure. She should be alright, right?
Just then, Jiang Mian pulled Qi Yun from the backyard into the living room, and their eyes met instinctively.

The moment Qi Xu saw Qi Yun, her gaze paused slightly before widening in disbelief.

"Qixu, is this your sister?" Jiang Mian pulled Qiyun toward Qixu, raising her eyebrows slightly. "You two siblings should have a good chat."

After Jiang Mian took Qi Yun to Qi Xu's side, he went upstairs, intending to summarize the content of the pharmacist's exchange and conversation that afternoon into a document and send it to Zhou Bai.

Although the meeting was interrupted, the two pharmacists Zhou Bai wanted her to take notes on had already finished speaking, so she went up to help him organize his thoughts.

"Sister, what are we going back to our room for now?" Chi Lin asked slowly, following behind her.

"Organize the documents," Jiang Mian said simply.

"Then I'll stay with you, sister." Chi Lin smiled and stepped forward to take her hand.

Jiang Mian didn't say anything, and pulled him back to the room.

So Jiang Mian sat cross-legged on the bed in the room organizing documents, while Chi Lin lay down next to her, his injured arm casually draped to one side. He would glance at the personal terminal from time to time, but he kept looking at Jiang Mian, feeling that he could never get enough of looking at her.

Yesterday he was busy warming the bed, and today he has a lot of mess to clean up. I guess he'll be busy for a while.

Chi Lin gave a sinister sneer. He also needed to properly repay the other few wretched beasts.

Downstairs living room.

After talking with Qiyun, Qixu understood the cause and effect.

He was both surprised and had mixed feelings.

Unexpectedly, it was his owner who helped him in the end.

"Sister Mian said I can stay or leave as I please, it's up to us to decide." Qi Yun smiled faintly. "Brother, can I stay?"

Qi Xu paused for a moment; there were no extra rooms left in this small building.

Moreover, Qiyun is blind and always needs someone to take care of her.

He didn't want to trouble his master anymore.

“Brother knows a pharmacist.” Qi Xu pondered for a moment, then spoke softly, “I’ll take you to her; you can stay with her for now.”
