Chapter 12: The Herbalist is Charming (Part 9)

To be fair, a girl saved him and was injured for it, but she didn't want him to worry and feel guilty, so she hid everything and even went a long way to buy medicine for him and accidentally fell down the hillside. She was already very tired, and she had to boil medicine and deliver it to him, and endured his cold eyes and cold words. She deserved to feel wronged and sad.

He was not really so ungrateful. Li Li was a good girl. She had gone through so much trouble to save him and had taken care of him attentively. He was naturally grateful and touched, but Meng Yi could not enjoy her kindness as a matter of course.

Meng Yi was indeed touched, but besides being touched, he felt even more sorry for her. For him, a girl had to disguise herself as a man and go to the town to buy medicine regardless of her injuries.

He had told her on the way back that he shouldn't be so cold to her, but when he saw her pale face and smiling as she asked him to drink the medicine, he couldn't help it. He thought that if he treated her a little more distant, she would not bother about him, but he didn't expect to make her cry.

Meng Yi touched the woman's hair tenderly, patted her back gently, and comforted her. Perhaps he himself did not realize how gentle he was at that moment.

Li Li cried for a while, and when she came to her senses she felt extremely shy. She actually cried in the man's arms, and her face unconsciously turned red to her neck.

She didn't know whether she should stand up or not, as she was too embarrassed to face him.

Meng Yi: "I'm sorry, I said something rude and made you sad. Li, Li Li, I've always been grateful for your care, but I don't want you to get hurt because of me."

Meng Yi: "You know what? I saw you coming in with the medicine. You were thin and pale. I was really afraid you would collapse. You were obviously very tired, but you still had to prepare medicine for me. I... I just felt sorry for you, I didn't mean to be mean to you."

Her body stiffened and she responded in a muffled voice.

Qingli: "I was just thinking about how you carried me back today and cooked for me. I should thank you. Besides, I was really worried about your injury. I'm fine. I just have a congenital deficiency, so I look pale."

Meng Yi: "Alas!"

Meng Yi sighed, turned the woman in his arms around, and carefully wiped away her lingering tears.

Meng Yi: "From now on, think more about yourself. Tell me if you have any problems. Don't argue alone."

Qingli: "Yeah."

She whispered something, but unfortunately he didn't hear it: What if you are not with me?

She knew that he was only here temporarily to recuperate. After he left, she would still be alone here. She had to get used to living alone, otherwise what would she do after he left?

Meng Yi gently picked her up and went into her room. He waited until she closed her eyes before turning off the lights and leaving.

The moonlight was like water, and a few rays of moonlight sprinkled into the house. Meng Yi put his hands behind his head, narrowed his eyes, thinking about his father, thinking about the martial arts world, and thinking about... Li Li.

This period of time has been a rare peaceful life for him. Although he is attached to such a life, he knows that he cannot stay here forever. He has his own responsibilities and missions to fulfill, and he cannot ignore it. He knows that the world will not be peaceful this time, and he doesn't know how many people will die. Although he is just an ordinary person, he also wants to do his best to try to prevent the tragedy from happening.

But... what about Li Li? She'd been alone for ten years. Was she going to have to spend the rest of her life here?

He would be leaving in half a month at most. The world of martial arts was full of ups and downs, and he would not bring Li Li into that bloody world. But he was also worried about letting her stay here all the time.

She has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, is charming and tenacious. As a weak woman, she has to disguise herself even when going out, for fear of being noticed by those with bad intentions. How unfair it is for her!

His benefactor deserved to live a life of luxury and worry-free, instead of blooming and withering alone in the mountains like an unloved camellia.

What should he do?

Meng Yi's eyes flickered, and as he listened to the chirping of cicadas and frogs, he gradually closed his eyes...
