After standing there lost in thought for a moment, Qin Luo finally came to his senses, reached out and ruffled Yi Ting's hair, and said softly:
"Yiting, now that you've learned most of these pharmacological principles, it's time for us to join Brother Xia and the others."
Qin Luo looked at the gentle face in front of him with some complicated feelings, and cursed himself inwardly. He had agreed that he would only stay here for one night, but in the end he could not resist Yi Ting's gentleness, and almost became addicted to her for the past seven days.
Upon hearing his words, Yi Ting's eyes dimmed considerably. She bit her lower lip, clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands, a hint of pleading in her voice.
“Master, can’t we stay a little longer? It’s so nice here, just the two of us. Is there something Yiting hasn’t done well these past few days? If you tell me, I’ll definitely correct it.”
After speaking, she looked at Qin Luo pitifully with her large, watery eyes, while leaning forward slightly, her voluptuous figure appearing even more curvaceous beneath her clothes. The slight forward lean made her curves more pronounced, yet also carried a charmingly pitiful allure.
Qin Luo blushed upon hearing this, recalling the events of the past few days. Taking a deep breath, she resolutely averted her gaze and strode confidently outside.
Yi Ting was also stunned when she saw this. This trick had always worked before. As long as she made this gesture, her master would always hesitate to agree. But she didn't expect that even this trick would not work.
It seems I have to go back to that jealous woman Xia. Just thinking of Xia Zihan made Yiting's heart sink.
Then, gritting her teeth in resentment, she watched her master about to leave, quickly lifted her skirt, and ran after him in small steps...
On the other side.
"Xiao Jiu, you haven't left your room for seven days. How can you keep yourself locked up like this? Fourth Brother knows you're in a bad mood, but you need to come out and get some fresh air."
Xia Qi knocked on the door in the corridor with a helpless expression. At first, he thought that Xiao Jiu was just throwing a little tantrum like usual.
After all, Xiao Jiu is a girl with a bit of a temper. She only throws a tantrum occasionally, but she will naturally calm down and return to her usual self after a day or two.
Unexpectedly, seven days have passed and she has remained hidden in her room without coming out, which made Xia Qi feel that something was wrong.
He had considered asking Qin Luo to come over, but five days ago Lin Yu told him that Miss Yiting had been bullied by some people in the Alchemist's Courtyard for some reason, and that Brother Qin had decided to protect her there to ensure her safety.
This left Xia Qi somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Just then, footsteps approached, and Qin Luo's long-absent figure appeared before Xia Qi.
Xia Qi was secretly delighted to see this, but he still maintained a cold and aloof expression.
"Qin Luo, you seem to have been gone for quite a while. Do you know that Xiao Jiu has locked herself in her room for seven whole days!"
Although Xia Qi knew the reason, he still felt indignant on behalf of his younger sister.
Qin Luo was about to explain, but Yi Ting, who had been silently following behind him, suddenly took a step forward, her eyes cold and her voice devoid of warmth, and said:
“Young Master Xia, you have misunderstood Young Master Qin. In the past few days in the Alchemist’s Courtyard, some people have had ill intentions towards me. If it weren’t for Young Master Qin, I would probably have met with misfortune long ago.”
"It's just that the danger on my side hasn't been completely over yet, so he stayed a little longer. Now that things have just stabilized on my side, Young Master Qin rushed over. You shouldn't blame him like that."
Xia Qi was momentarily speechless upon hearing her words; he had truly shot himself in the foot. After a moment of change in expression, he could only let out a soft snort.
"Hmph, then I misunderstood him."
At this moment, Qin Luo pulled Yi Ting behind him and said apologetically to Xia Qi:
"Fourth Brother, this was my oversight. I'll go check on Zihan's condition right now."
After saying that, Qin Luo arrived at Xia Zihan's room door, bent his finger, and gently knocked.
"Zihan, it's me."
Her voice was soft, tinged with a hint of guilt.
Seeing that the door remained closed, Xia Qi felt both worried and somewhat at peace. He was worried about Xia Zihan's current situation, but at peace that Qin Luo, like himself, had been turned away.
But the next moment, the doorway to the room suddenly opened a crack, and with a creaking sound, the crack widened, revealing Xia Zihan's captivating face to Qin Luo.
"Zihan, I..."
Qin Luo was about to say something when he felt a jade-like hand tug at the front of his clothes, pulling him into the room with a sudden force. Then, with a bang, the room was closed again.
Only Xia Qi, whose lips twitched slightly, and Yi Ting, whose face was icy cold, remained.
Yi Ting's pupils contracted slightly when she saw Qin Luo being dragged inside, then she snorted coldly and left.
Xia Qi sighed silently for a while, then said to the door, "Girls really are hard to keep at home once they grow up!"
He then left with a helpless expression.
Inside the room, Qin Luo leaned against the door, and Xia Zihan nestled in his arms, inhaling his scent.
The gentle breath sprayed onto Qin Luo's neck, bringing a tingling sensation. This sudden action made Qin Luo's body stiffen slightly, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
Xia Zihan, however, seemed oblivious, clutching Qin Luo's clothes tightly with both hands, burying her face deep in his chest, greedily inhaling the familiar scent.
After a long while, Xia Zihan slowly raised her head. Her eyes were slightly red, and the heavy rouge seemed to have been applied haphazardly in a moment of panic, but it did not completely cover up her swollen eyes.
