Yu Yue paused, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a sweet smile.
She reached out and took the candy. The moment her fingers touched Xie Yan's palm, both of them were slightly taken aback.
Yu Yue held the candy tightly in her hand, as if she were holding the warmth of the whole world. Her heart was filled with sweetness, and the bitterness of the medicine seemed to have faded a lot at this moment.
After settling Yu Yue back in, Xie Yan finally had the time to organize the things she had brought back.
When he opened the package and saw so many century-old ginseng roots inside, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
But when he thought about the injuries Yu Yue had suffered, he felt that none of it mattered.
As he packed up, he kept telling Yuehui, "If you ever encounter a situation like this again, never be reckless. It's better to lose these things than to get hurt so badly again, understand?"
Yu Yuehui leaned against the kang (a heated brick bed), smiling as she watched Xie Yan tidy up. Upon hearing this, she nodded hurriedly and promised, "It won't happen again, it definitely won't happen next time."
Hearing the weariness in her voice, Xie Yan couldn't bear to say anything more. He simply nodded gently, his tone full of doting and concern: "I'll trust you this time. You can't let me down again!"
"If you feel sleepy, take a nap. You're injured now, and sleep will help you recover."
Yu Yue nodded obediently, stopped trying to hold on, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Xie Yan quietly continued tidying up the remaining things, his movements gentle and careful, as if afraid of waking her.
At noon, the warm sun shone brightly on the courtyard. Gu Bin walked in humming a little tune, and was startled when he saw Yu Yuehui already at home.
He walked quickly to Xie Yan's side and quietly asked, "Why have you lost so much weight?"
Xie Yan sighed softly, his expression full of heartache: "You're injured."
Upon hearing this, Gu Bin's smile vanished instantly, replaced by worry, and his voice rose several decibels: "Is it serious? Should we go to the hospital?"
Xie Yan shook his head, his expression calm: "The medicine has already been applied. I have a full range of medicinal herbs here, so don't worry."
"Besides, she shouldn't let others know about her injury."
Gu Bin nodded, relieved, and a smile returned to his face as he teased, "You're doing pretty well now! Your medical skills are getting better and better."
Xie Yan raised his head, a confident smile on his face: "I've said it before, I'm very capable, you just never believed me!"
Gu Bin smiled and chimed in, "Yes, yes, you're the future miracle doctor."
Xie Yan nodded firmly, his eyes shining with determination: "Of course, I am already half a divine doctor. After cultivating for a while longer, I will definitely become a divine doctor of my generation."
"At that time, you'll have to wait in line to see me!"
Gu Bin laughed and joked, "So, should I start currying favor with you now so I don't have to wait in line later?"
Xie Yan nodded, his eyes full of mischievous amusement, and said in a drawn-out tone, "That's possible! Want to give it a try?"
Gu Binxie looked around, smiled, poured him a glass of water, and handed it to him, saying with a smile, "Come on, feel my sincerity in currying favor with you."
The two smiled at each other, the atmosphere inside the room was relaxed and pleasant, complementing the warm sunlight outside.
Xie Yan and Gu Bin sat to one side, talking quietly. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on the floor.
Yu Yue slowly woke up, her eyelashes fluttering, and slowly opened her eyes.
Xie Yan had been keeping an eye on her out of the corner of his eye. Upon seeing this, he immediately stood up, the chair leg scraping against the ground with a creaking sound.
He hurried to the bedside, his expression concerned, his eyes filled with anxiety and worry, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
He was afraid that she might accidentally press on her wound while she was asleep. Although he stayed by her side the whole time and never took his eyes off her, he was still very worried and uneasy, fearing that something might happen.
Yu Yuehui gently shook her head, her voice still a little hoarse: "It's nothing."
Gu Bin looked apologetic, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, did I wake you up?"
Yu Yue shook her head again, smiled and said, "I woke up a long time ago, it's nothing, you guys continue chatting."
Xie Yan carefully examined her face and saw that her expression was indeed relatively calm, not like she was forcing herself, so he was slightly relieved. However, he still reminded her with concern, "If anything happens later, or if you need to get up, just call me. Don't move on your own and aggravate your wound."
Yu Yue nodded obediently, her soft hair swaying gently with her movements.
Gu Bin knew Yu Yuehui and Gu Che's fighting prowess, and although he was curious about how Yu Yuehui had suffered such serious injuries, he wisely refrained from asking.
Around noon, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.
Today's lunch was prepared by Xie Yan and Gu Bin. Considering that Yu Yuehui had just recovered from a serious illness, they specially cooked seafood porridge.
Seafood porridge is nutritious and doesn't require much skill; even someone like Xie Yan can make it taste delicious.
Steaming hot porridge is served, with plump rice grains, tender shrimp, and an enticing aroma.
The two exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
Especially at Xie Yan's banquet, looking at the porridge that was beyond my expectations in both appearance and taste, I couldn't help but think: I actually have the talent to be a chef?
Of course, Gu Bin, who was standing next to Xie Yan, had the same idea. Moreover, he was much more confident than Xie Yan, believing that his previous poor cooking was due to the ingredients.
As the saying goes, even a clever cook can't cook without rice. Once he buys more good ingredients, he'll definitely be able to make delicious food.
Because of this blind belief, Gu Bin not only wasted bad ingredients and made an innovative version of food, but also got himself poisoned.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Yu Yue took a sip of the porridge with a skeptical attitude, then her eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't really had any hope for the two of them, but to her surprise, the porridge was actually quite good.
Xie Yan was very happy to see that she enjoyed drinking. Patients need to eat and drink well so that they can have more energy, which will also help their wounds heal.
He's already starting to think about what delicious food to make for the afternoon. Yu Yue is a patient, so she not only needs to eat well, but also needs to eat nutritious food.
It's fair to say that this was quite a difficult situation for him.
Xie Yan really thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of anything simple and nutritious besides seafood porridge.
At this point, he began to miss his cell phone.
Of course, soon he wouldn't need to think about this problem anymore.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Yu Yue looked at Gu Bin with a serious expression: "Remember not to talk about my injury!"
Gu Bin nodded hurriedly, a smile on his face, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut!"
"This information will absolutely not be leaked by me."
