"It's good that you're alright..." Gu Yixian breathed a sigh of relief. If Gu Liyan had died, wouldn't that mean she was the one who caused him to drown? If she had to pay with her life, wouldn't that mean she would die young?
Looking at Gu Liyan's handsome face and bright eyes, Gu Yixian suddenly remembered something, sat up abruptly, pointed at Gu Liyan, and asked, "You, you... your eyes... are they alright?"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly. Although the blurry vision was still somewhat unpleasant, he shook his head and said, "Although it's still a bit blurry, I think... it's all right now."
Gu Yixian blushed as she recalled their accidental kiss, and immediately pointed at Gu Liyan, blushing with embarrassment and anger, saying, "You, you took advantage of me!"
Gu Liyan blinked and smiled slightly, then asked, "You mean the kiss just now?"
"You, you... you're not allowed to say that!" Gu Yixian pointed at Gu Liyan angrily.
"If you feel you've been taken advantage of... you can kiss me back!" Gu Liyan looked at Gu Yixian with a smile.
"Hmph, you filthy scoundrel! You lecherous vixen! I won't give you a chance!" Gu Yixian said, pursing her lips, picking up the oil lamp and walking towards the cave exit. "Since you're alright, I'm going back! Goodbye! Oh, no, goodbye forever!"
Seeing Gu Yixian turn and leave without hesitation, Gu Liyan hurriedly stood up, "Wait..."
Gu Yixian turned around and looked at Gu Liyan, "What else do you want to do!"
Gu Liyan groped his way to Gu Yixian in the darkness. "Thank you for saving me. I have no gift to give you right now, except for this... I hope you will accept it."
As he spoke, he took out a peach blossom jade hairpin from his bosom and handed it to Gu Yixian.
Gu Yixian raised the oil lamp and, by its dim light, saw the jade hairpin in Gu Liyan's hand. She was quite pleased. She had never owned any jewelry before, let alone received any jewelry from a boy...
Gu Yixian pursed her lips and asked hesitantly, "This, this is really for me?"
Gu Liyan smiled and nodded, "Of course!"
Gu Yixian was about to take it when Gu Liyan put the jade hairpin directly on her head.
Gu Yixian blushed slightly, looked at Gu Liyan with her head down and stammered, "You, you shouldn't be so close to me!"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly and patted Gu Yixian's head. "Although I can't see your face clearly, I think you deserve this jade hairpin..."
Looking into Gu Liyan's gentle gaze, Gu Yixian's heart softened, and she said, "I didn't expect you to be such a grateful little fox..."
"Then..." Gu Liyan looked at Gu Yixian shyly, "Can you take responsibility for me?"
"Huh?" Gu Yixian stared blankly at Gu Liyan.
Then--
A fox spirit has become a companion in their otherwise mundane life, and the fox spirit has found a place in their small wooden house!
Gu Yixian didn't know why, but she unconsciously agreed to let the fox demon stay, and inexplicably a little fox with nine tails followed her around in her life!
This little fox does nothing all day, and occasionally throws a lot of questions at Gu Yixian. For example, right now, Gu Liyan is blinking his big eyes at the bottles and jars on the table, curiously flipping through them and asking:
"Yiyi, what are all these things? Are they poison or antidote?"
Gu Yixian turned her head and looked at Gu Liyan with displeasure. "I'll give you three seconds. You'd better put it down obediently, or I'll kick you out!"
As he spoke, he began counting, "Three—"
Gu Liyan quickly put it down, chuckling, "Yiyi, you're not being fair! You said you'd give me three seconds, why did you just say three?"
when--
Gu Yixian came out of the kitchen, slammed the medicine she had just brewed onto the table, and squinted at Gu Liyan, saying, "Drink your medicine!"
Gu Liyan's expression changed immediately when he saw the bowl of black medicine in Gu Yixian's hand. These past two days, drinking the medicine had really forced him to use all his strength to shut down his six senses. It was not only extremely bitter, but also so thick that it was difficult to swallow.
Gu Liyan was already tired of hearing Gu Yixian say "drink your medicine" every day.
Gu Liyan subconsciously swallowed. "Um... Yiyi, my injury is almost healed. Do you think I don't need to take the medicine anymore..."
Gu Yixian squinted at Gu Liyan and said, "Yes, judging by the time, you're almost recovered. Shouldn't you be leaving now?"
Gu Liyan shuddered. "Cough cough, I still have some typhoid fever that hasn't healed, and my chest still hurts a bit. Uh... it seems I'll have to trouble you for a while longer..."
Gu Yixian rolled her eyes and pointed at the herbal medicine on the table. "What are you waiting for? Drink it now!"
Gu Liyan swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, picked up the bowl, took a deep breath, and drank it down in one gulp.
Seeing Gu Liyan's pained expression, Gu Yixian couldn't help but chuckle.
Gu Liyan almost spat out his drink halfway through. "Cough cough... What, what is this?!"
The texture is sticky, and the fishy smell has a hint of spiciness! This can't just be called a culinary disaster; it's the ultimate, most disgusting dish that's practically a death trap!
Gu Yixian laughed loudly, "I'll show you what I'm made for you to stay here! I'll let you taste the chili water that's been simmered for three days and three nights with ginger and dried stinky fish!"
Upon hearing Gu Yixian's words, Gu Liyan's expression changed, and he immediately put down his bowl and rushed out, followed by the sound of him vomiting.
"Hahaha..." Gu Yixian couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing this.
Gu Liyan, pale-faced, turned to look at Gu Yixian with a pitiful expression and said, "If you don't like me, you can just kick me out. Why torture me like this..."
