Ye Jingchi leaned closer, his voice deep and resonant: "Then, can we kiss?"
Li Ying's beautiful eyes widened, but she remained unmoved.
"Just a kiss."
In the end, Li Ying still granted her this permission.
Ye Jingchi nodded, then immediately took off his clothes and went to bed.
Before going to bed, Li Ying had to change his dressing.
Previously, dressings were changed during the day. This was the first time I had seen a man's muscular chest and abs under the light. His healthy tan was so striking that it made me want to succumb to his charm.
Li Ying cleared her throat and looked away, feigning composure.
Ye Jingchi noticed Li Ying's unusual behavior and smiled slightly.
"You blush so easily?"
"No, I'm a doctor, I've seen plenty of patients," Li Ying said defiantly.
Ye Jingchi grabbed Li Ying's hand and placed it on his abs. The firm muscles burned Li Ying's palm. Li Ying tried to pull her hand away, but he held it even tighter.
"Ye Jingchi..."
"Didn't you say you've seen a lot of men? Then why did your face turn so red just from touching my stomach?" Ye Jingchi teased.
Li Ying truly regretted letting him into her room.
"Ye Jingchi, lie down properly!"
Ye Jingchi was worried that she was really angry, so he quickly let go of her hand and lay down.
Li Ying took out the jade pendant from before and threw it to Ye Jingchi.
Do you remember this jade pendant?
Ye Jingchi picked up the jade pendant and stroked it carefully.
This woman is testing him, trying to verify whether it's true or false.
"Is my kiss any different?"
Li Ying rolled her eyes at the man: "Be serious, I'm asking you a question!"
"This is the jade pendant you gave me when I rescued you after you got lost in the forest. You also said that you would marry no one but me in the future."
Li Ying chuckled, "Ye Jingchi, you're really good at making up stories! I never said I wouldn't marry anyone but you!"
"Then why did you give him a jade pendant? Don't you know that when a woman gives a man a gift, isn't that what she means?"
Li Ying felt she couldn't reason with this man, so she lay down.
"Go to sleep."
"Is that all? I don't think you can complete the task by being so perfunctory," Ye Jingchi said with a half-smile.
It turned out that he knew he had a mission, which was why he allowed him into the courtyard.
What's true and what's false doesn't really matter anymore; Li Ying has come to terms with it.
Ye Jingchi snuggled up to Li Ying and said, "Shall I hold you while we sleep?"
"Ye Jingchi, don't push your luck!"
"We're already sleeping in the same bed, so it's okay to hug each other while we sleep, right?"
Ye Jingchi shamelessly stretched out his arm and wrapped it around Li Ying's waist.
Li Ying was too lazy to argue with him, so she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Both of them slept very soundly.
Ye Jingchi woke up to find Li Ying still asleep. He sat up, quickly pulled open the drawer, opened the small bottle, poured a pill into his mouth, and swallowed it.
After doing all this, he lay down again as if nothing had happened, raising his hand to gently trace Li Ying's cheek.
"If only I had met you sooner! We wouldn't have had to wait until we knew each other to have this short time together."
A hint of sadness flashed in Ye Jingchi's eyes, but he quickly concealed it; the word "sadness" did not exist in Ye Jingchi's dictionary.
A true man faces death without fear!
After breakfast, Li Ying still needed to go to the hospital to see her second senior brother. She remembered that her second senior brother had told her a name yesterday, but after a night, she had completely forgotten it.
"Miss Ying, a man who claims to be Mr. Chi says he wants to meet you," Aunt Yang reported as she came in.
"Mr. Chi? Please let him in!"
Li Ying tidied herself up and went to the living room, where Chi Munian was the visitor.
"Mr. Chi, what brings you here?"
"After Chi En went back, he locked himself in his room, crying and laughing at the same time. I suspect he has hysteria. I heard that Miss Li Ying's acupuncture skills are very good. Could you help me give Chi En acupuncture?" Chi Munian had heard that Master Qian's apprentices knew this kind of acupuncture, especially Lu Qingzhu, who was the most skilled at it.
But Lu Qingzhu wasn't in the capital, so he could only ask Li Ying for help.
Li Ying had always wanted to find an opportunity to visit Chi En's house, and now she finally had one.
"sure!"
"I'll go with you." Ye Jingchi walked over and stood beside Li Ying.
"Commander Ye?" Chi Munian saw Ye Jingchi and felt great respect for him.
"Let's go."
The group arrived at the Chi family's residence in the south of the city, an old house that was once the envy of everyone as a wealthy family.
"This must be the summer resort your grandfather built?"
"I didn't expect Miss Li Ying to even know this. This is indeed the summer resort built by my grandfather."
"Mr. Chi, I've heard that the manor grows many precious Chinese medicinal herbs. May I take a look?"
“Of course it is.” Chi Munian was generous and poised, and there was nothing wrong with him.
Li Ying suggested they take a walk in the courtyard first, and Ye Jingchi accompanied her.
In a fenced garden, all sorts of exotic flowers and plants are grown.
Among those exotic flowers and herbs, Li Ying discovered a nearly extinct herb called Red Arrow, also known as Wind-Stabilizing Grass.
"So happy?"
Li Ying turned to look at Ye Jingchi, "Mr. Chi has the herbs I want in his yard. If I prepare them for Chi En, could you give me some?"
Chi Munian smiled and said, "It is possible, but my mother's consent is required. These herbs were left by my father. You know, our family has been practicing Western medicine for generations, so we only know a little about these herbs. It's just that my mother was in poor health, so my father planted the yard full of herbs, and my mother's health improved a lot."
"The Chi family has a deep understanding of Western medicine. Your father probably understands the principle of combining Chinese and Western medicine, which is why he chose to plant a lot of herbs in the yard. If I'm not mistaken, your father is still taking Western medicine."
Chi Munian nodded slightly: "Chi En said that Miss Li Ying's talent was extraordinary, which I always thought was an exaggeration, but today I am truly impressed!"
"Then let's go give Chi En acupuncture first."
Li Ying and Ye Jingchi followed Chi Munian into the living room and went upstairs together.
In a guest room on the first floor, Huanchun helped an elderly woman, well over seventy years old, out of the room.
"Who were those two people who just went upstairs?" the old woman asked, scolding the figures going up the stairs.
"Mom, it was the doctor that Mu Nian hired for Chi En. He said he was Qian Lao's apprentice and the one who knew the Thirteen Ghost Needles."
"Who is that man?" the old woman pressed.
"It seems to be Ye Jingchi, the third young master of the Ye family."
"The Ye family? Isn't that the child they adopted from the Jing family? He survived?" The old woman's words were loaded with meaning.
"Mom, what do you mean by this?" Huanchun asked, puzzled.
The old woman smiled coldly: "It's nothing. Let's go upstairs and see if Master Qian's apprentice really knows the Thirteen Ghost Needles."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went upstairs.
In Chi En's bedroom, when the servants opened the door, they could see Chi En sitting on the bed, hugging a pillow, with tears in her eyes, constantly calling out Pingping's name.
“He’s been like this ever since.” Chi Munian also gave Chi En medicine, but it didn’t work, so he thought of asking Li Ying to give Chi En acupuncture.
Chi En looked up and saw several people. She jumped off the bed, ran to Li Ying, and grabbed Li Ying's wrist: "Pingping, Pingping, you came to see me?"
