Xie Xianyu narrowed his eyes, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
"Why haven't you taken the medicine yet?" Wanruo changed the subject at the right time.
The bowl of medicine beside the bed had already gone cold. She had placed it there before she left, and it was still there when she came back.
Xie Xianyu said casually, "I can't reach it."
Wan Ruo frowned. "He's right next to the bed, but he can't reach it?" What a young master's temper!
"Then I'll bring it to you, Cuizhu."
Xie Xianyu glared at her: "You are quite good at ordering people around."
Wanruo: “…”
Who is ordering people around?
Wanruo took another look at the wound on his chest and swallowed her anger. Forget it, just consider it as a way of repaying a favor. She couldn't serve him for a few more days anyway.
Wanruo went to bring him another bowl of medicine. Fortunately, his medicine was kept warm on the medicine stove in the small kitchen. Perhaps the servants knew that he had not drunk it yet, so they kept it warm.
"Drink the medicine first." Wanruo put the bowl in front of him.
Xie Xianyu didn't raise his hand to take it.
Wanruo took a deep breath and told herself that only a few days were left, so she should just tolerate him for a few more days.
She took a spoonful, blew it cool, and fed it to his mouth. The young master finally opened his mouth and swallowed the spoonful of medicine.
Wanruo sneered in her heart, you have to be fed one spoonful at a time, how can you not suffer to death?
But Xie Xianyu seemed to have a keen sense of taste. He drank the bitter medicine spoonful by spoonful without frowning, and instead felt a little contented.
"The results of the Spring Examination were announced a few days ago?"
Xie Xianyu suddenly spoke, his tone calm, but his dark eyes were locked on her face, with a hint of oppression.
Wanruo paused holding the spoon, without raising her eyes: "Really?"
Xie Xianyu looked at her, a hint of a smile on his lips: "I heard that Lin Han passed the imperial examination."
Wan Ruo's expression was calm. "Mr. Lin has been diligent in his studies and has prepared for the exam for many years. Now that he has passed, he has finally achieved his wish."
What she said sounded very reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it.
He deliberately asked her about this matter to test her reaction and see if she really had any feelings for that boy. She acted neither surprised nor happy nor did she care, but he was still unhappy.
His eyes turned cold. "He was lucky. He managed to pass despite being at the bottom of the list."
Why does it taste sour as soon as I say this?
Wan Ruo frowned and looked up at him: "Knowing that you got first place in the exam, he naturally can't compare with you."
It sounded obedient, but there was something ironic about it.
Xie Xianyu was stunned for a moment, his tongue was blocked, and he probably suddenly realized, what was he and Lin Han competing for?
He was tired of hearing the words "gifted by heaven" since he was a child. He never took the title of top scholar seriously. It was just a stepping stone for him to enter the officialdom and the most insignificant honor he had received so far.
What does he care about?
He only knew that there was an indescribable and unfamiliar emotion surging in his chest, something he had never experienced before and was not ashamed to express out loud.
It was not until many years later that he was reluctantly willing to admit that it was jealousy.
Wanruo originally thought that he was about to get angry, but he remained silent. She complained in her heart, perhaps because he didn't hear her sarcasm.
She didn't know if it was because he was injured, but she felt that his temper had improved a little, although he was still difficult to please.
Wanruo shook the little bit of medicine left at the bottom of the bowl and put the spoon back into the bowl: "Drink it, I'll take it away."
She stood up to leave, and Xie Xianyu said coldly, "Come back quickly to change the medicine for me."
Wan Ruo couldn't stand it any longer: "Can't we ask the doctor to come?"
She has to do everything. Who said that she can enjoy a good life once she enters Songhe Garden?
