Chapter 284 Domineering Female Doctor Skilled in Gu Poisoning VS Distressed Laborer Prodigal Son 11
Xiao Che felt a lump in his throat as he listened to her words.
What did she just say?
The clothes were originally intended for her senior brother, but she felt they weren't good enough, so she decided to make a better set for him herself.
And what about him?
She's only willing to give him that tattered garment now because she doesn't need it anymore.
Why should she give him things her senior brother doesn't want? Why should he wear clothes that others don't like?
He's not a junk collector!
Xiao Che said with dissatisfaction, "I also want the new clothes you make. I won't wear what other people don't want."
You could tell from his words that he was full of disdain.
Jiang Zhiyi couldn't help but frown and said, "That's brand new, it hasn't been worn by anyone before, what are you complaining about?"
"I don't want that one... but make one for me too." Xiao Che tried to advocate for himself.
"Why are you making such a fuss today? Wear it or not, it's up to you. I wouldn't even give it to you. Tomorrow I'll cut it up and use it as a nest for Xiaobai." Jiang Zhiyi felt that he was simply pushing his luck.
It seems that she's been too good-natured lately, which has made him too arrogant. When will it be his turn to bargain with her?
He's just a lowly servant who expects her to make him clothes? Dream on.
"I'm going to sleep, don't bother me. Get out of here." She rolled over and burrowed completely under the covers, ignoring him completely.
Xiao Che stared at the bulging blanket, his expression growing increasingly grim.
After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and uttered another sentence, still expressing his protest and dissatisfaction: "I don't want that dress."
The room was quiet, and no one paid any attention to him. The only response he received was her soft breathing; she seemed to be asleep.
Xiao Che angrily returned to his bed.
What she did was really too much; there's no way to bully people like that.
Unlike Jiang Zhiyi, who was fast asleep, Xiao Che was angry all night and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
After that, the two had a major falling out over this matter and neither of them wanted to talk to the other.
Because he was unhappy, Xiao Che was cold and deliberately distanced himself from her.
Jiang Zhiyi already didn't give him a good look, and now she disliked him even more.
...
One morning.
The two were having breakfast, but they were far apart from each other, one sitting on one side of the long table and the other on the other.
"Get away from me, don't stick to me." Xiao Che kicked the little white dog that was gnawing on a bone by the table aside.
Something that gets in the way.
The little white dog rolled twice on the ground, and the meat bone it was chewing on fell to the ground.
With a flick of its tongue, it carried the bone to Jiang Zhiyi's feet.
Jiang Zhiyi gently stroked the little white dog's head, tossed it a few bones, and then coldly mocked, "Is that all you've got? What kind of skill is it to bully a puppy?"
Xiao Che glanced at her, said nothing, and continued eating.
Yesterday, he was called to tidy up the clutter in her house. While cleaning up the pile of medical books that had been rummaged through, he discovered that there were many papers tucked inside the medical books.
He took out all the papers tucked inside, one of which even contained a map of the route out of the mountains. She seemed worried about forgetting important details; the map also had many warning signs marked on it.
Just then, Jiang Zhiyi went to the back mountain to collect herbs, so he quickly wrote down the entire route map.
Now that he has this map, he only needs to find the right opportunity to escape quickly.
As for the recent discord between the two, upon closer examination, it should be attributed to the influence of the Gu worm.
Jiang Zhiyi had never treated him well. In her eyes, he was nothing more than a laborer, or to put it bluntly, a laborer she could manipulate at will.
Her attitude towards him was perfectly normal in this matter; it was his emotions that were the problem. Something was wrong with him; he shouldn't have cared so much about that dress.
Yesterday he also saw many letters written to her by her senior. Based on a man's intuition, he was almost certain that her senior liked her.
It's easy to see from those letters that the two of them had a very deep bond. They must have grown up together since childhood and could be considered childhood sweethearts.
No wonder she was so good to her senior brother.
Compared to her senior brother, he was nothing... but there was no point in comparing them anyway, since he didn't like her.
Whom she wanted to make clothes for, whom she wanted to be kind to, whom she wanted to like… none of these things concerned him; he didn't care at all. And after he escaped, none of this mattered to him even more.
Xiao Che gripped his chopsticks tightly, trying to sort out all these things in his mind.
After breakfast, Xiao Che worked alone in the yard. Although he had figured things out now, he was still in a bad mood.
Jiang Zhiyi stayed in her room and did not come out.
Soon, the whole morning had passed.
Xiao Che was a little thirsty, so he decided to go inside to get some water and rest for a bit.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a new set of clothes on the wooden table next to him.
Out of curiosity, he went over and flipped through it anyway.
He quickly recognized it as the outfit she had bought before, but many parts had been altered. The size seemed to fit his body better, and the name that was originally embroidered on the belt was gone, replaced by a crookedly embroidered character "澈".
He picked up the clothes and examined them carefully. A slip of paper fell out, on which was written a line of elegant, flowing characters: "You bastard, wear it or don't, it's up to you."
Xiao Che stood there, his expression changing repeatedly, his thoughts unreadable.
Not long after, he went back to the yard to continue working, but unlike before, he had changed into new clothes.
