Su Huaiyue stood there in a daze, his arms still open, the smile on his face gradually solidified, like a frozen picture.
She didn't expect Wei Che to suddenly avoid her, and she couldn't help feeling a little lost, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her.
But she quickly adjusted her mood. For those precious medicinal herbs, only 2% was left, so there would definitely be a chance.
Su Huaiyue paced alone in the room, with a look of regret on her face. She blamed herself for being too eager for quick success and scaring Wei Che.
She knew very well that matters of the heart should not be rushed, especially for someone as thoughtful and introverted as Wei Che, who needed more patience and care.
Just then, there was a noisy sound of footsteps and voices outside the room.
When Su Huaiyue walked to the door, she saw Wei Che and several yamen runners carrying some supplies towards Madam Wei's room.
Wei Che's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which slid down his cheeks and soaked his collar.
His eyes were focused and determined, and every movement was full of power, like a brave warrior. Su Huaiyue looked at Wei Che's figure, and her heart moved. Inspiration flashed through her mind like lightning, and she seemed to have thought of a way.
Su Huaiyue quickly walked to Wei Che, took some of the supplies from him, and said, "I'll help you."
Wei Che raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't expect Su Huaiyue to suddenly appear and help.
But then he regained his composure, nodded, and said softly, "Thank you."
The two of them carried the supplies together and walked silently towards Madam Wei's room.
Along the way, Su Huaiyue secretly observed Wei Che's expression.
She found that there was a hint of tenderness in Wei Che's eyes, and he seemed to be in a much better mood.
Su Huaiyue was secretly happy in her heart. She knew that her actions had unconsciously influenced Wei Che, making him like her even more.
When they arrived at Madam Wei's room, Su Huaiyue and Wei Che put the supplies in place together.
Madam Wei took Su Huaiyue's hand and said gratefully, "Huaiyue, thanks to you and Che'er, you are such good children. At my age, I can still meet such kind children like you. It is really a blessing from my previous life."
Su Huaiyue smiled and said, "Grandma, this is what we should do. But you've been exhausted from the journey. Are you feeling well? Are you feeling unwell? If you need anything, please let us know."
Madam Wei shook her head, a happy smile on her face: "With you all here, I feel at ease and in good health. Seeing you every day makes my heart as sweet as honey."
After coming out of Madam Wei's room, Su Huaiyue and Wei Che walked side by side in the corridor.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the two of them. Under the moonlight, their shadows were stretched out long and overlapped.
Su Huaiyue took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Wei Che, actually... I have always been very grateful to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to break the prejudice they have against me by myself."
Wei Che stopped and turned to look at Su Huaiyue.
His eyes flashed with complex emotions, including surprise, emotion, and a hint of... barely perceptible shyness.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but felt like thousands of words were stuck in his throat and he didn't know how to express himself.
Su Huaiyue looked at Wei Che and felt that he was very cute, like seeing an ignorant little animal. She patted Wei Che's shoulder gently and said, "We will have to face more storms together in the future. The road ahead is full of difficulties. I'll ask you to take care of him."
Wei Che felt the warmth in Su Huaiyue's palm, and that warmth spread throughout his body like an electric current, and the defenses in his heart completely collapsed.
[Congratulations to the host, your favorability increased by 2%, and you received 1000 packs of Forsythia, 1000 packs of Patchouli, and 1000 packs of Honeysuckle!]
Oh my god! It finally worked!
Su Huaiyue breathed a sigh of relief. With these medicines, he could start researching how to treat the plague. Tomorrow he would go to the streets to see the symptoms of the people, and maybe he could prescribe a better medicine.
Thinking of this, Su Huaiyue couldn't wait to go back and study, and took her hand off Wei Che's shoulder.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go to bed early!"
Su Huaiyue waved at him, then went to find Lord Li and inform the county government to set aside a separate room to prepare the prescription.
Wei Che looked at Su Huaiyue's resolute back, and his heart sank instantly.
He didn't understand why the two of them, who had just been talking to each other under the moon and the atmosphere was ambiguous, became so determined in an instant.
He stood there for a long time without moving, until the figure completely disappeared at the end of the corridor, then he slowly turned around and walked towards the room.
Back in the room, Wei Che sat by the bed, his mind full of Su Huaiyue's figure. Her lively eyes, her expression that was sometimes firm and sometimes gentle, and the warm hand that had just patted his shoulder, were all engraved on his heart like a brand.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself, wondering when he had become so indecisive and so distracted by a woman.
"Uncle, what are you laughing at?" Wei Li couldn't sleep with his eyes closed. Seeing his uncle frowning and laughing, he thought his uncle must be sick.
Wei Che quickly restrained his expression and pushed Wei Li back into the quilt, "Mind your own business, kid, and go to sleep."
"Where's mother? Won't mother sleep with us tonight?" Wei Li rubbed her eyes. She remembered that when the rooms were divided, her mother was clearly assigned to the same room with them. Now her aunt and brother were already asleep, and her uncle had just returned, but her mother was the only one missing.
Wei Che suddenly realized, yes, Su Huaiyue had just left, where did she go...
It looks like something important, and I don’t know if he needs help.
Meanwhile, Su Huaiyue hurriedly found Lord Li, looking anxious and earnest. She said, "Lord Li, the plague is raging right now, and I've come up with some ideas for a treatment. I need a separate, quiet room to prepare the herbs. I hope you can help arrange that."
Upon hearing this, Lord Li's face was filled with solemnity, and he immediately nodded in agreement, "Miss Su cares deeply about the people. This kind of thought is truly rare. This matter is of great importance. I will discuss it with the county magistrate right away, and I will make arrangements for you as soon as possible."
After saying this, Lord Li immediately went to the county magistrate's study.
Now, every night, yamen runners come to report the number of people suffering from the plague. Chen Daofu has been unable to sleep for several nights, and the lights in his study are brightly on.
After the clerk reported, Lord Li took Su Huaiyue into the study.
Chen Daofu frowned, "I wonder what brings you two here so late at night?"
"Master Chen, Miss Su has a way to develop a prescription to treat the plague, but she urgently needs a separate room to prepare the prescription. Please..."
