Cheating for good medicine
Even Guiyao paused.
"uncle?"
She lowered her head slightly and saw her even darker reflection in the dark brown medicine.
Then he slowly turned his gaze to the bowl that Ren Beixi was taking: the leaves of an unknown herb had been boiled down to the dry parts, and there was also something similar to the foam after squeezing pear juice. In short, it didn't look like something drinkable.
wrong.
The point is why does Ren Beixi also want to drink?
"As for the prescription, it was left by your grandfather. I found it in an old book last month and I think it's more suitable for you."
Uncle Gui saw Gui Yao standing in front of Ren Beixi and coughed, "The biggest improvement of this prescription is that it weakens the so-called three-part poison of medicine."
Guiyao naturally provided low-energy maintenance for her weak body as usual, but for some reason she took the usual evening medicine earlier.
And Ren Beixi here seems to reflect the four-character mantra from ancient times to the present - since we are here, we are already here.
Gui Yao blew on the medicine and asked lightly, "It's been a month. Why did uncle only think of changing my medicine when he arrived at the General's Mansion?"
She was not afraid of taking Chinese medicine. She had drunk a lot of it in her previous life to regulate her sleep, which saved her a lot of suffering in this life.
"Children should be quiet while taking medicine. This is not a newly added herbal medicine that is quite valuable. Cough, cough, cough."
My uncle is really coughing this time.
He thought that saying too much would hurt feelings, so he stood up and drove the two people out of the kitchen, closed the door and continued to study the prescription.
Guiyao: Meow?
If I remember correctly, I only have a ponytail now.
Why, she is the most feudal one here?
She leaned against the closed door, holding the medicine in both hands, blowing gently to create ripples in the soup, and smelled it. It was sweeter than the medicine she had been taking for the past three years.
The sugar cube slowly melted in her mouth, and she drank the bowl of Chinese medicine.
I feel like I don’t need to eat at night…I’m full from drinking.
Gui Yao looked at the path outside that seemed to be the general's mansion, and at the same time noticed that Ren Beixi was particularly quiet now.
"General Ren, are you afraid of suffering? Or are you afraid of taking medicine?" As if she had discovered something interesting, she walked to his side curiously, her long ponytail swinging behind her, quite lively. If you didn't ignore her thin face, she would have looked like the daughter of a military general.
Ren Beixi looked at her silently, without comment.
When Gui Yao saw him like this, she came closer and smiled with her eyes curved into crescent shapes.
"It's not difficult to drink, General Ren." She took the small bowl from Ren Beixi's hand and stirred it with the spoon in her square bowl.
Although the content of the decoction is not much.
But there are still quite a few medicinal residues.
"Can I feed you?" Her voice was soft and obedient.
Seeing that he remained silent, she lowered her eyes and filtered out the medicine. The sound of ceramics colliding was a little trembling in the corridor.
Guiyao raised her eyes and held up a large spoonful of dark brown medicine.
In ancient costume dramas, people like to feed Chinese medicine one spoonful at a time.
She also didn't understand...
But at this moment, she really wanted to see Ren Beixi's silent face, the expression that was so bitter that he frowned unbearably.
Her watery eyes seemed filled with anticipation.
Seeing that Ren Beixi was unmoved, she bit her lip and said, "Yaoyao hurt General Ren today. It was Yaoyao's fault."
"How could you be wrong?" he said in a deep voice.
Gui Yao's hand holding the spoon almost trembled. Looking into the man's dark eyes, she had the vague illusion of being stared at by a cat.
Her eyelashes, like little fans, trembled.
"My good general, as an apology, I will personally feed you the medicine."
The tips of her ears turned red, and when these sweet words dripped into the air, she could still taste the bitter aftertaste of the medicine in her throat.
When he looked up again, he saw that Ren Beixi was still motionless.
Guiyao blinked and suddenly smiled.
She was just about to throw the spoon back into the bowl when she felt a force grab her wrist.
"...It hurts." Gui Yao frowned, feeling the knife marks on her wrist being rubbed. She raised her eyes and saw Ren Beixi chuckling softly, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible. However, they had unknowingly gotten too close, his lips resting on the soup spoon she was holding, and her hand was held tightly by him.
The man only needed to lower his eyes to see the thin layer of sweat on her forehead due to nervousness.
The medicine had cooled down quite a bit, but there was still a faint warmth rising from his eyes.
She failed to succeed and even forgot to act out her whole act: "Ren Beixi, let me go..."
Gui Yao struggled, but was only held tightly by his right hand. She raised her head and met his calm eyes, her face flushed red as if he had bullied her.
“Sometimes I think Yaoyao is very cute.”
Ren Beixi snatched the medicine bowl from her hand, tilted his head back slightly and drank the medicine in one gulp.
What was left in the bowl were various black medicinal residues. Just by looking at them, she felt that they were much more bitter than what she had just drunk.
"The general is not afraid of hardship." Gui Yao paused.
"Do you think I'm cute because I'm stupid, or do you think I'm being tricked by you and have to serve you, such a stupid cute person?"
The man's straight nose stopped at Guiyao's lips, which were slightly parted instinctively. She heard him say:
"I don't think I've ever told Yaoyao that I'm afraid of hardship."
Gui Yao looked into his eyes silently.
She was used to putting her own needs first, and it really made her uncomfortable to delegate her tasks to others.
She suddenly became curious and had some questions.
What would happen if I didn't complete the main quest?
What would happen if I didn’t marry Ren Beixi successfully, or didn’t go to the capital successfully?
The confusion in her heart went unanswered, but the big hand on her waist tightened even more, letting Bei Xi's breath fall on her skin, carrying heat.
His lips seemed to be filled with a low whisper of pain, and they were only a few inches away from hers. However, his temperament seemed to have broken free from the false attempt to desperately absorb her weakness.
Gui Yao couldn't move, her heart was beating wildly.
All she knew was that when she kissed him, she heard the sound of a porcelain bowl breaking beside her.
The corners of her eyes were tinged with pink, and the fleeting touch seemed to make her extremely nervous.
As for him, he only thought of four words.
...Remember the bitter past and think of the sweet present.
The kiss lasted less than half a second.
Is this a kiss?
It was Uncle Gui who pushed the door open with a worried look on his face.
It was Pinyue who was walking from the side path with a dressing basket and was about to comb Gui Xiaoniang's hair.
There was also Xiao Hui, who appeared out of nowhere and squatted down to pick up the broken bowl.
"The bowl is broken and the medicine is spilled?" My uncle came forward.
He seemed relieved: "That's good, that's good. I just realized that I put the wrong medicine in."
"Huh? Why are you so nervous?"
"It's okay for you to drink that medicine, but it will contain some tonics compared to the original formula."
My uncle waved his fan and said, "Maybe. My blood is boiling and I can't sleep well. It's just like you two are now."
Gui Yao gave the position of explanation to Ren Beixi, and just handed her empty bowl to Xiao Hui, asking him to take it together. After that, she sat on the corridor beside her, swinging her legs slightly, her eyelashes fixed on Ren Beixi's slightly red earlobe. Although the process had changed, she was unwilling to lose.
She was like a satisfied little animal that had stolen something sweet.
However, this little beast was new and inexperienced, and it seemed unable to distinguish between shame and insatiable desire.
