Chapter 11: The Herbalist is Charming (VIII)

Meng Yi: "Well, we're here. You should rest well and change into clean clothes first."

After Meng Yi finished speaking, she closed the door and went out, then turned and went into the kitchen. She must be hungry too.

After she changed her clothes and took off her disguise, Meng Yi had already prepared the meal.

He had never cooked before, but he learned a little by watching Li Li cook these days.

He cooked some rice porridge, picked up some pickles made by Li Li from the jar, and put them on the table.

Meng Yi: "Come out for dinner."

She heard the response and sat down behind him to eat.

Li Li almost counted the rice grains while eating, her eyes always looking at Meng Yi inadvertently. Seeing his indifferent expression, she pursed her lips and had no appetite. She didn't want to eat anymore after eating half a bowl.

After dinner, Li Li took the initiative to clean up the dishes, wiped her body with hot water, and went to her small pharmacy to prepare new medicine.

When she knocked on the door with the medicine tray, Meng Yi opened the door after a while. Seeing the hot medicine in her hand, as well as some clean white cloth and wound medicine, he frowned and stepped aside to let her in.

Meng Yi: "It's so late and you haven't rested yet?"

Qingli: "I made some new medicine. Besides, you carried me for such a long distance today, so the wound might be bleeding and needs a new dressing."

Meng Yi: "Thank you, young lady, but I hope you will pay more attention to yourself instead of a stranger like me."

His tone was not very good and his brows were furrowed.

Qingli: "I..."

Qingli: "I don't neglect myself."

Qingli: "Did I do something to make you unhappy?"

The woman lowered her head, her voice seemingly steady, yet there was a hint of fragility and choking in it.

Meng Yi was silent for a moment, then picked up the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp.

The temperature of the medicine was just right. His eyes darkened. She had always been considerate and attentive to him.

Meng Yi: "Thank you for your care, young lady. You didn't do anything to make me unhappy. It's getting late, young lady, you should go to bed early."

Qingli: "Well, I'm leaving now."

The woman still kept her head down and walked out slowly.

Meng Yi noticed the water stains on the ground, suddenly turned his head to look at the woman, took a few steps forward to stop her, and held up her head with both hands.

She didn't expect him to stop her, and when he noticed she was crying, she quickly took a step back and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Qingli: "I was accidentally smoked just now. I'll go back first."

She hurried out, but he grabbed her left wrist.

Seeing the woman with a look of grievance and sadness, red eyes and a misty look in her eyes, Meng Yi grabbed her delicate white wrist without thinking.

Meng Yi: "Are you...are you okay?"

Qingli: "It's okay, I won't disturb you from resting."

Meng Yi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard her call him Young Master.

Meng Yi: "Are you angry?"

Qingli: "No, I was just intoxicated by the smoke."

She smiled as she spoke, but it was a forced smile.

Meng Yi: "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh. Are you angry and sad because of me?"

Qingli: "No, no."

She tried to leave in a panic, but couldn't break free from his hand.

Qingli: "What are you doing?"

Meng Yi: "Don't be sad, it's my fault."

Hearing his words, the tears that she had managed to hold back burst out again, and she started to cry in strings.

She was crying so hard that she couldn't stand up. With his support, she simply lay on him and sobbed.

Qingli: "I..." "What did I do wrong? You suddenly distance yourself from me. Woo woo woo woo..."

Qingli: "I was just delivering medicine to you! Why are you suddenly so distant from me?"

He was a little at a loss. It was the first time a girl burst into tears in his arms.

Meng Yi: "Don't cry, you are not wrong, it's all my fault, I am moody and I confuse right and wrong."

He racked his brains to coax her, and after a long time she cried softly and tried to calm down.

Meng Yi: "I'm sorry, I made you sad."

He felt a little regretful now. He opened the door and saw her frail appearance. Thinking about how tired she was today and how she rolled down the hillside, and then came back and took the trouble to make medicine for him, he felt that she did not take care of her body.

But think about it, a girl has done so much for him, what right does he have to be angry with her?
