The wind blew, and a faint medicinal fragrance drifted over. No wonder he also smelled like medicine when I met him last time.
However, Xiao Jingxi has a kind of charm that can make others ignore the fact that he is in poor health when they interact with him, and be attracted only by his charm.
Ren Yaoqi almost forgot that Xiao Jingxi was a patient because the aura of a controller was too strong.
At this time, there was another noise coming from the backyard.
Ren Yaoqi raised his eyes and saw a tall man jumping towards him step by step.
Ren Yaoqi blinked and saw clearly, then was stunned. It was Zhu Ruomei...
Zhu Ruomei was unable to walk normally because of a broken tibia in one of his legs, so he supported his hands on the triangular bracket of a copper basin, using the bracket instead of a crutch.
Maybe because he was in a hurry to get out, his hair was tied up carelessly with a rope that he pulled from somewhere. His face was covered in sweat, but he walked very fast.
Xiao Jingxi also followed Ren Yaoqi's gaze, but he turned back after a glance and said with a faint smile: "Don't you want your legs anymore?" It sounded like a joke, but people didn't dare to respond.
Following Zhu Ruomei were Xiao Jingxi's two lackeys. They seemed to be trying to grab him, but he always managed to evade them. Although he was injured, his movements were very nimble, not clumsy at all.
Zhu Ruomei quickly "jumped over". Ren Yaoqi found that his head, face, and neck were covered with sweat, and even his collar was wet. He must have been extremely uncomfortable.
"Why did you run out here instead of taking good care of your injuries?" Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but frown and gently rebuked.
Zhu Ruomei was sweating profusely from the pain, but she still managed a grim smile, "It's just a broken bone, nothing serious. Sorry to have worried you."
Ren Yaoqi looked on as if he hadn't heard anything. He only glanced at Xiao Jingxi, who was busy picking up the chess pieces. He sighed softly and said, "You should take good care of your injuries first. I'll send someone to tell your family that you're safe."
"Thank you, Fifth Sister." Zhu Ruomei said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Zhu Ruomei apologized sincerely. When he heard that the fifth sister of the Ren family, who was called Tongxi, was coming over, he knew that Sister Ren must have come because of him, so he hurried over, fearing that she would be embarrassed in front of the second young master of the Xiao family.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I didn't do anything, but the Yuan family spent a lot of effort to find you."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while. Ren Yaoqi noticed that Zhu Ruomei's face was a little pale, so he said to him gently, "I'll be leaving soon. You should go back and rest."
Zhu Ruomei nodded in agreement, but didn't leave. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Fifth sister, it was Second Young Master Xiao who saved me this time. He wanted me to stay by his side for ten years and work for him. I..."
So Xiao Jingxi was already with Zhu Ruomei? Zhu Ruomei didn't seem to be unwilling.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi and said to Zhu Ruomei with a smile, "I've said before that you and my Ren family no longer owe each other anything. Since you've earned Second Young Master Xiao's appreciation, when you're better, you should work wholeheartedly for him."
