Chapter 294 Domineering Female Doctor Skilled in Gu Poisoning VS Distressed Laborer and Prodigal Son 21
Inside the side room.
"Is it good?" Xiao Che thoughtfully handed her the tea, and then used a handkerchief to wipe the sauce that had accidentally gotten on her lips.
Jiang Zhiyi frowned subconsciously, feeling that his action was a bit too intimate, but she was quickly drawn to the dishes in front of her.
"They're all delicious, the flavors are really good," she replied casually, holding her chopsticks.
Xiao Che noted down the dishes on the table that she touched the most.
When he had free time, he would go to the chef at Mingyue Tower to learn how to cook, and then he would cook for her himself.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Jiang Zhiyi was eating happily, but she noticed that he hadn't touched his chopsticks much, and instead kept staring at her intently.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat slowly." Xiao Che looked at her now, looking like a cute little hamster with her cheeks puffed out, and then he thought of something, "Your room isn't good, I'll have someone find you a new place to stay."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyi said somewhat impatiently, "I told you I don't want to go. I like living there. Don't meddle in other people's business."
“Then I’ll send a few servants over to take care of you…” Xiao Che paused for a moment, “How about this, I’ll move in there and take care of you myself.”
Just like before, they lived together, preferably in the same room at night.
Jiang Zhiyi immediately refused: "I don't want to, stop bothering me! If you keep making noise like this, I'm leaving."
She made a move to put down her chopsticks.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more." Xiao Che finally quieted down.
After the meal, Xiao Che led her around Mingyue Tower for a long time. It had many floors, each with a different purpose.
Jiang Zhiyi went to the top floor's treasure pavilion, and without any hesitation, she took whatever she liked.
Anyway, the Xiao family is wealthy and powerful, so it's possible that this treasure pavilion is actually their property. Besides, it's something he owes her, so there's nothing wrong with him using some money to repay it now.
"Wow, what a huge luminous pearl!" Jiang Zhiyi really liked the object.
If she bought it, it would make studying the Gu worms at night much easier. Right now, the candlelight she uses always hurts her eyes after a while, and she can't help but tear up.
My senior brother had made special candles for her before, but the effect wasn't very good.
Xiao Che instructed the steward to buy all the luminous pearls, saying, "Buy them, then buy more. Your room will be brightly lit at night, and you won't have to rub your eyes so often."
Jiang Zhiyi snorted, which was taken as agreement with his words.
I didn't expect him to be so meticulous; he actually noticed these little things.
The two stayed there for another hour.
"What else do you want?" Xiao Che had already instructed people to send all the things she bought back to her courtyard.
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head, clearly tired from walking, and said, "No need, that's enough."
She turned her head and looked at Yan Hong Zhai not far away, a sudden curiosity rising in her heart. Just now she had passed by a brothel called Yan Hong Ge, where many beautiful young women were.
The two are only one character different. Could this one also be a brothel?
Soon, a group of handsome and dashing men arrived at the door, loudly soliciting customers, "Sir, come on over..."
I see... I see!
Jiang Zhiyi's gaze was instantly drawn to it; she was very interested in that place.
Xiao Che quickly turned her head back and said in a deep voice, "What are you looking at?"
"What's it to you what I'm looking at?" Jiang Zhiyi had had enough fun and didn't want him to follow her anymore. She was going to wander around by herself. "You can go now. I want to be by myself for a while."
"No way!" Xiao Che saw through her thoughts at a glance, never expecting her to be so fickle.
"Shut up!" Jiang Zhiyi retorted, not to be outdone. Who gave him permission to talk to her like that?
She can do whatever she wants; his opinion doesn't count.
Xiao Che softened his tone and said, "You're unfamiliar with this place, and I'm worried about leaving you alone. I want to stay with you... There are many fun places over there that ordinary people can't go in. I'll take you to see them, okay?"
“…Alright then.” Jiang Zhiyi looked back with a hint of regret.
She glanced around again, noting down the approximate location. She planned to come back in a few days, as it was indeed inconvenient with Xiao Che present today.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Xiao Che's eyes, and he gave a wink to the guards who were following him.
Not long after they left, the brothel was shut down by the manager.
...
For the next few days, Xiao Che took Jiang Zhiyi out to have fun every day, and the two had a great time.
However, Jiang Zhiyi's resentment towards Xiao Che grew stronger, as he was always controlling her and often wouldn't allow her to do this or that.
The brothel she wanted to go to suddenly disappeared for some reason; it might just be his doing.
Later, she stopped letting him follow her and wouldn't let him into the house.
That evening.
Jiang Zhiyi bought pastries from the street and returned home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xiao Che squatting in the yard washing her clothes.
He was washing her undergarments in the wooden basin, taking them out to look at them every now and then.
"You lecherous scoundrel! Give it back to me!" Jiang Zhiyi snatched her clothes back.
Xiao Che was somewhat displeased with her reaction and said, "It's not like we haven't washed before. I always washed you before. Why didn't you say so then?"
Jiang Zhiyi: "Shut up!"
Xiao Che: "Then...then I'll go cook for you. What would you like to eat tonight?"
"I don't want to eat anything, you should leave now." Jiang Zhiyi pushed him out of the yard and then locked the gate without hesitation.
Xiao Che stood outside the door for a moment, then called out loudly into the room, "I'll go cook, and I'll bring it to you when it's done."
Jiang Zhiyi ignored him and continued washing the clothes that Xiao Che had only half-finished washing.
She thought he was crazy, now he was actually eager to be her laborer.
These days he's been doing laundry, cooking, eating and playing with her, acting like her little follower. I don't know what got into him.
Jiang Zhiyi looked at the baby clothes in the wooden basin, and a blush slowly crept up her ears.
Actually, she also found the clothes quite novel.
She bought this after arriving in Hezhou City. It's much nicer than the little clothes she wore before that covered her up completely, but it's also inevitably a bit...
"You scoundrel!" Jiang Zhiyi couldn't help but mutter another curse at him under her breath.
It slowly got dark.
There was a knock on the door...
Jiang Zhiyi opened the door with an impatient look on her face.
It's so late and Xiao Che still has to bother her. She already said in the evening that she didn't want to eat, and now she has to give him a good scolding.
But upon seeing who it was, Jiang Zhiyi's expression immediately changed. She exclaimed with some surprise, "Senior brother, what brings you here?"
