Chapter 159: Time to Go
The next day, when Yuan Siyin woke up, the bedside was empty. Sunlight streamed in through the window paper, and she couldn't tell whether the warmth of her hand was from him or from the sunlight.
Yuan Siyin sat up, stretched comfortably, and muttered to herself, "Sigh, it's so refreshing not having to see such unpleasant people so early in the morning. I worried for nothing..."
"What are you worried about?" Yu Shiyan pushed open the door and came in, carrying a wooden tray.
Yuan Siyin shuddered in fright and quickly denied it, saying, "No, it's nothing."
"If you're awake, hurry up and wash up, then come and have some porridge."
He set out the bowls and chopsticks, and took out a side dish of pickled radish from a wooden plate, which looked very appetizing.
"Um, last night..."
Nothing happened last night.
Yu Shiyan remained calm and composed, sitting down without even glancing at her.
Yuan Siyin: ?
Shouldn't she know best whether something happened or not? How come this person is acting like the guest is in charge?
However, there's really nothing to argue about on this issue. She nodded, finished washing up, sat down at the table, picked up her bowl, and started drinking porridge: "With this level of alcohol tolerance, I think you should drink less in the future."
"Is this concern?"
"I threw up all over myself."
Yuan Siyin rolled her eyes.
She was too embarrassed to say it aloud.
Yu Shiyan slowly sipped his porridge, his jade-like fingers holding the chopsticks, picking up dried radish and eating it with great elegance; the series of movements was particularly pleasing to the eye.
"I will take responsibility."
Upon hearing this seemingly random statement, Yuan Siyin nearly choked again.
"No, no, it's nothing serious. Third Sister has already taken it down for me to wash."
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Yu Shiyan simply didn't explain.
What she thinks after she says it is her business; what he is responsible for and how he is responsible is another matter entirely.
"I'm done eating, I'm leaving now."
"etc."
Yuan Siyin called out to Yu Shiyan, "How much longer will it take for the chief and the others to fully recover?"
Yu Shiyan paused, then looked up and said, "In two or three more days."
"Oh," Yuan Siyin responded softly, glancing at the dishes on the table with her eyes slightly narrowed.
Now that she's almost recovered, she should leave.
If we really wait two or three days, who knows how emotional it will become.
After Yuan Siyin finished her porridge, she didn't ask Yu Shiyan to do anything. She cleaned up the dishes herself and ran into Fatty Wang and Liu Mazi as she went out.
When Fatty Wang saw her come out, he immediately took the bowl from her hand and said eagerly, "I'll do it, I'll do it. How can I let the second-in-command do such chores?"
Yuan Siyin snorted lightly, "Unsolicited kindness is either a trick or a theft."
"Speak, what is it?"
"What could possibly happen to us, Second Master?"
The fat man patted his chest indignantly, "Am I the kind of person who would go around begging for help whenever I need it?!"
“Liu Mazi is the most qualified to speak on this matter, so let him speak,” Yuan Siyin said quietly.
"Fine, I'll confess."
The fat man looked like a deflated balloon: "Well...didn't you say yesterday that you were going to plant some kind of gold or silver flower in the village?"
Liu Mazi corrected from the side: "Honeysuckle."
"That's how fussy I am, I just like calling that thing!"
The fat man glared at her, but then immediately backed down when he faced Yuan Siyin: "Can we not plant that stuff? I still think peanuts are fine with taro too."
"I didn't ask you to dig up the taro seeds."
Yuan Siyin chuckled and crossed her arms, leaning lazily against the fence behind her: "Once the chief and the others are all better, won't the back mountain be empty?"
"That's the logic..."
The fat man was still somewhat hesitant.
