Chapter 322 Misunderstanding that he stole cicadas
Inside the east wing, Qin Feng was playing chess with Shen Li by the window.
Shen Li was groaning in agony as Qin Feng tormented her: "Brother Feng, can we stop playing? Is playing chess really that fun?"
He's already lost six games in the short time since he came back from the herb field.
Qin Feng's lips curled up, clearly in a good mood: "It depends on who I play against. Playing against you is really fun."
Shen Li thought to himself, "Your chess skills are only good enough to bully me!"
But he dared not speak out against his anger and could only silently place the seventh plate under Qin Feng's gaze.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Kong Wange stood at the door and looked at them: "Mr. Qin, are you busy?"
Qin Feng paused slightly, and Shen Li suddenly turned around, her eyes widening: "Pretty sister?"
Kong Wange waved to him and gave him a bright smile: "Hello, Shen Li, we meet again." Shen Li was very excited and quickly brought her a stool: "Pretty sister, weren't you fertilizing the medicinal herb field just now? What brings you here? Please sit down."
Seeing his enthusiasm, Kong Wange felt a little relieved and waved her hand, saying, "I won't sit down. I came to see Master Qin and see if he needed any help, but I didn't expect him to look so well. He can get out of bed freely now. It seems that Uncle Zhou's medicine is really effective."
Qin Feng hummed in agreement and leaned back in his seat: "There's nothing I can help you with here, thank you for your kindness, Miss Kong."
Kong Wange touched her nose sullenly, wondering whether she should reveal that she was only doing it for credits, when Shen Li stood up abruptly, saying with exasperation, "Brother Feng, the pretty lady just arrived, why are you letting her leave already?"
Qin Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he glanced at Shen Li.
When Shen Li saw Qin Feng's eyes, he was terrified, but there was a beautiful woman next to him. He gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, and stepped forward to grab Qin Feng: "Brother Feng, have you forgotten? This beautiful woman's medical skills are amazing. Since she's come to visit you, why don't you let her give you a couple of acupuncture treatments?"
After saying that, he went straight for Qin Feng's clothes.
Qin Feng was only wearing a thin shirt underneath, with a large neckline. When it was pulled like that, a large area of his lean chest muscles was exposed.
His face darkened completely: "Cat, you're getting bolder and bolder!"
Shen Li pretended not to hear and kept muttering, "Brother Feng, don't be shy. You're just killing time anyway, what's wrong with letting a pretty lady give you a couple of acupuncture needles? It'll treat you if you're sick, and it'll help you stay healthy if you're not!"
As he spoke, he turned to Kong Wange, trying to rally her to his side: "Pretty sister, don't you think so?"
Kong Wange blushed slightly when she saw the "scenery" on her chest, and coughed lightly, saying, "...Well, there's no need for acupuncture."
"Ah...you don't need to?" Shen Li let go of her hand with some disappointment: "Then, pretty sister, what else can you do?"
Kong Wange: "..."
If Shen Li hadn't looked so serious when she said that, Kong Wange would have already given her a good slap.
"It's almost noon, shouldn't Master Qin take his medicine? Should I go and help him brew it?"
"Hey, this is good!" Shen Li pointed to the small stove next to him: "We can brew the medicine in the room, hehehe, pretty sister, you go ahead, I'll leave Brother Feng to you, I'm feeling sleepy, I'll just go out for a walk."
"Cat, you..." Qin Feng was about to say something when Shen Li interrupted him, "Brother Feng, listen to the pretty sister~"
After saying that, he ran out, giving him a wink as he left.
Qin Feng: "..."
What kind of magic does Kong Wange possess? Ever since I met her, my perfectly good house cat has suddenly become wild.
If it weren't for the fact that his current physical strength was only enough to allow him to get out of bed and take a few steps, he would definitely give Shen Li a good beating!
Right now, only Kong Wange and Qin Feng are left in the room.
Kong Wange coughed lightly, walked to the stove where medicine was being decocted, and casually added the medicinal herbs left by Zhou Sihai into the clay pot on the stove in the correct proportions.
Qin Feng wanted to let her go, but seeing how well she was doing, he ultimately didn't utter the words that were stuck in his throat.
He straightened his clothes, strolled over to the rocking chair next to him, and said casually, "You can leave after you finish brewing the medicine."
Kong Wange fiddled with the medicine, thought for a moment and said, "Master Qin, I didn't come here for any other reason. I just received a task to take care of a patient, and since you happen to be here, I thought I'd come and help out while completing the task. You don't need to be too wary of me."
Qin Feng squinted and didn't speak, it was unclear whether he had heard her or not.
Kong Wange shook her head. It seemed Zhou Qiao was right; this guy really was difficult to communicate with.
It's best to talk to him as little as possible from now on, so as not to offend him further.
It takes a while to brew the medicine. Kong Wange turned her head and glanced at Qin Feng, who was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed as if he were asleep.
She looked around and saw that the room was fairly tidy, except for the floor, which was a bit dirty. Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to clean it.
As she cleaned under the bed, she felt the broom touch something. Bending down, she saw it was a delicately woven cicada made of straw rope.
She took it in her hand, and was about to say something when she suddenly felt a chill behind her.
She stiffened slightly, then turned her head and met Qin Feng's somewhat sinister gaze.
She asked curiously, "Where did you get this from...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Feng said with a stern face, "Put your things down, Miss Kong, please leave."
Kong Wange placed the cicada on the bed, thought for a moment and then said, "Master Qin, I respect you as the leader of the Shadow Sect, but no matter how much you like her, you shouldn't take other people's things, especially since she's just a young girl."
She now understood why Zhou Qiao was afraid of him; the cicada she had given to Zhou Qiao just yesterday had been taken by him so quickly.
They didn't cherish it after taking it over; it's already so worn out after just one day.
"Miss Kong, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't want to repeat myself. Please leave." Qin Feng spoke slowly and deliberately, like the calm before a storm.
Kong Wange knew this was a prelude to his anger, and too lazy to argue with him anymore, she slowly exhaled and said, "Okay, I'm leaving. The medicine will be ready in about half an hour. Remember to drink it, Master Qin."
After saying that, she placed the cicada on the bedside table and left without looking back.
Qin Feng didn't get up from the recliner until she left.
When he first came back, he casually put the cicada on the bed. He never expected that this woman would be so audacious as to touch his things without permission.
He picked up the cicada, blew off the dust, and carefully placed it back into the bedside table.
As Kong Wange left the east wing, she saw Zhou Qiao waiting in the corridor not far away.
Seeing her come out, he quickly waved to her: "Sister Kong, over here!"
Kong Wange walked towards her.
In the corridor, Zhou Qiao checked Kong Wange from head to toe until she was sure she was all right before she was relieved: "Sister Kong, how was it? That cold-faced devil didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Kong Wange shook her head and said with heartache, "Qiaoqiao, I'm fine, but you've been wronged. Do you still want the cicada I gave you yesterday? I'll make you another one so we can have a pair."
