"If you want it, I'll give it to you, brother."

Su Miao raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke ambiguously.

"Just give it to me if you want?"

His fingertips were warm as he gently lifted her chin.

"Brother, if you dare to say so, I'll give you whatever you ask for."

His long, quiet movements were gentle, which made Su Miao feel a little uncomfortable, and she subconsciously trembled.

Their eyes met, and an ambiguous atmosphere lingered between them.

Su Miao guessed that Shen Changji wouldn't say such a thing, because he would restrain himself.

She didn't expect too much; she just wanted to touch on things and not lose interest.

Su Miao didn't look at Shen Changji, and decisively stuffed the scooped-up egg custard into her mouth.

She controlled the heat very well, so the steamed egg custard was smooth and tender, and even more delicious than last night.

The steamed egg custard from last night was a little overcooked.

The steamed egg custard was not much, and Su Miao finished it in a few bites, leaving an empty bowl in front of Shen Changji.

Shen Changji glanced at the empty bowl with a gloomy expression, then looked at Su Miao, who had finished eating and was wiping her mouth.

When Su Miao looked over, she was almost scared out of her wits.

"Brother, didn't you say you didn't want to eat?"

"You didn't make this for me?" The man's expression tightened, and his face grew increasingly gloomy.

"I thought my brother didn't want to eat it, so... in order not to waste it!"

Su Miao would never reveal that she was hungry and couldn't resist eating it all...

Most importantly, he remained silent and didn't say he wanted to eat!

How can you blame her? Absolutely not!

After all, Shen Changji has a mouth, but he can't speak even if he has one!

Whose fault is this?

Upon hearing this, Shen Changji remained silent for a long while.

His nonchalant demeanor was starting to crumble, and his dark eyes swept over her with a chilling gaze.

"Where's Wang Cui? How come... I just woke up and she's already gone!"

The commotion that came from Xie Qin in the carriage next door could be heard.

Some time ago, he felt that Su Miao and Shen Changji were not a good match.

But after last night, and considering the current situation, he realized that the two of them were quite compatible.

They got him drunk under the guise of discussing matters!

That's so immoral!

Another one is that he woke up one morning to find that the person had already run off to the next room.

Neither of them spoke openly, their faces showing no outward sign of their true feelings, but inwardly...

If Su Miao had appeared earlier, there probably wouldn't have been any problem with Liu Jiaojiao!

Xie Qin rubbed his head and peeked outside through the curtain.

They had already arrived at Zhangshui City.

Because of the plague, the city looked like an empty, desolate place, with no one around.

"That's enough, let's stop here," Xie Qin called out.

Su Miao, who was next door, heard Xie Qin's voice and got up slightly to go out, but was pulled back by Shen Changji.

Shen Changji followed her wrist and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her to sit astride his lap.

Su Miao wanted to say something more, but seeing Shen Changji's actions, she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Shen Changji took out the prepared silk cloth and voluntarily covered her mouth and nose.

Su Miao did not expect that Shen Changji would take the initiative to cover her with a silk cloth.

She stared intently at the man's actions, a slight unease settling in her heart.

The man's long, slender fingertips gently touched the back of her neck.

A hint of ambiguity crept in, yet subtly spread outwards, making it hard for her to look away.

Is he... showing concern for her?

Su Miao looked at his long, trembling eyelashes and couldn't help but raise her hand to gently touch his brow.

"elder brother……"

She gazed at him, as if everything around her had blurred.

She could clearly feel his warm breath on her wrist, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"Don't forget what I said."

Shen Changji glanced at her.

Although the silk cloth covered the lower half of Su Miao's face, only her eyes were visible.

But in that instant when their eyes met, his heart skipped a beat.

Su Miao's eyes were tinged with a light red, and her gaze was shimmering with a watery quality that was impossible to ignore.

He looked away, quickly tied the silk cloth, and then got off the carriage.

Ultimately... he didn't know why he had taken the initiative to tie the silk cloth around her neck.

Her maids could easily have done these things...

As soon as Shen Changji stepped off the carriage, Xie Qin wanted to go find Su Miao, but then she heard Shen Changji give an order.

"Take her to West Street."

Xie Qin's eyes widened instantly upon hearing Shen Changji's words.

He quickly walked over to Shen Changji and lowered his voice.

"No... Ziji! The West Street alley is fraught with danger. Although she appears to be a man, she is actually...!"

Xie Qin hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.

Everyone knows what I mean!

Su Miao is a young lady, how could Shen Changji have left her there like that!

Logically, it should be him who goes to thank the quilt!

"I'll make my own arrangements. As for you, go to East Street." Shen Changji resumed his usual cold demeanor and said in a deep voice.

"Hey! One in the east, one in the west, you're going to be in the middle, right!" Xie Qin couldn't help but shout.

Shen Changji did not reply to him and mounted his horse directly.

The plague struck fiercely, leaving them no room for complacency.

Chen Changji was busy until nightfall.

...

On the other side, Su Miao had already prepared herself mentally before she arrived, so as soon as she got off the carriage, she took out the prescription and the medicine in the box and asked someone to prepare it.

"What was the young master thinking... that he would send you here, Miss!"

Tao'er frowned as she looked at the situation in front of her.

"It's okay, this is a challenge, and I believe I can handle it."
