Chapter 159 Is there any way to make Eleven also like me?
After Cassia went down to make tea, Ye Runan welcomed Prince Xiao into the house.
The room was filled with the smell of medicine. After Xiao Jiwu entered the room, he walked straight to the medicine cabinet where Ye Runan displayed the medicines and looked at it slowly.
Ye Runan followed Xiao Jiwu with his arms folded, introducing the medicines on the medicine cabinet. He introduced whichever Xiao Jiwu looked at, and watched Prince Xiao's performance at the same time.
"This is lovesickness, a chronic poison. Just like its name suggests, once the poison takes effect, it's like longing for love sinking into your bones. The pain will cling to the victim, causing them to suffer agonizingly until they die."
Xiao Jiwu frowned slightly when he heard this, and immediately looked away.
Of course, Prince Xiao did not suddenly become interested in these medicines.
He was thinking about how he could avoid revealing the truth and still get Ye Runan to help him find a solution.
There was no way. The only person Xiao Jiwu could think of to help him was Ye Runan.
Firstly, he didn't trust others, and secondly, the woodcutters under his control were probably not as good as him.
So Ye Runan is the only candidate.
After all, it was Ye Runan who saw the problem from the very beginning...
Seeing Xiao Jiwu turn his gaze to another bottle of medicine, Ye Runan continued to introduce: "This is the Condensed Jade Ice Marrow Pill. It is very effective for burns and can also suppress fire poison."
Xiao Jiwu was already bored, and at this moment he was in no mood to listen to Ye Runan introduce his works one by one. He pursed his lips and retorted: "This prince can read."
Ye Runan instantly understood that Prince Xiao could no longer act. He almost couldn't help laughing, but he forced himself to hold it back. Then he nodded and said, "Okay, I won't say anything more. You can see for yourself."
After saying that, Ye Runan went straight to the table and sat down, then began to fiddle with the incense burner on the table.
At this moment, Jueming came back with tea and stood outside the house, respectfully reporting, "Sir, Your Majesty, the tea is ready."
Hearing this, Ye Runan gestured for Jueming to come in, and then said to Prince Xiao, who was still staring at Du Yao in a trance, "Junior brother, didn't you want some tea? The tea is here, please take a seat."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiwu walked to the table and sat down on the stool opposite Ye Runan.
Jueming kept his head down as he did his own thing. After pouring the tea and placing the cups next to the two of them, he quietly went outside to sort out the herbs.
Not long after, Xiao Jiwu picked up the teacup and took a sip, still with no intention of speaking.
Ye Runan drank a sip of tea and then just looked at Xiao Jiwu steadily without saying a word.
He wanted to see how long his junior fellow apprentice could endure.
He's not in a hurry anyway...

At this time, on the other side, Yun Qingshi was sitting on the couch, flipping through a storybook while waiting for breakfast.
That’s right, Xiao Jiwu should be back around this time.
Did he misjudge the time?
Yun Qingshi became increasingly impatient as he waited, primarily because he was hungry. He finally lost patience and walked to the door to ask Zhao Mingde, "Eunuch Zhao, what time is it now?"
Zhao Mingde looked up at the sky and quickly replied, "It's about half past."
10:30? It's ten o'clock.
Usually, Xiao Jiwu would come back at 2:30 pm at the latest, but today he was half an hour late. No wonder he was hungry.
After getting the answer, Yun Qingshi looked towards the door again. When he still didn't see Xiao Jiwu coming back, he sat on the couch and continued reading the storybook.
But in the following time, he looked towards the door frequently, and at one point he couldn't even concentrate on reading the storybook.
Another moment later, Yun Qingshi, who could no longer bear it, found Zhao Mingde again: "Eunuch Zhao, I want to eat."
Zhao Mingde didn't dare to let Yun Qingshi starve. After hesitating for a moment, he ordered someone to bring some snacks for Yun Qingshi to fill his stomach first.
This was also the first time that Xiao Jiwu did not come back on time. Besides being hungry, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but think of other things.
He first thought of the fact that the two of them didn't talk to each other last night, and wondered if Xiao Jiwu was angry and deliberately didn't come back.
But this was nothing. He was just a little worried that something might have happened in the palace and Xiao Jiwu was detained...
With his thoughts flowing to this point, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but ask Zhao Mingde again: "Eunuch Zhao, the prince hasn't come back yet at this hour. Could something have happened to him?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingde realized that he had not yet told Ying Shiyi that their prince had returned home. He immediately spoke up, "Oh, my servant has such a bad memory. Just now, someone came to report that the prince had returned home and had only gone to see Doctor Ye."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi fell silent for a moment, but at least he wasn't so worried anymore. He then frowned slightly and asked again, "Will he come back for dinner?"
If he doesn't eat it, he will eat it again.
Zhao Mingde quickly replied, "Don't worry, sir. The prince will definitely come back for breakfast. If you're hungry, I'll have them bring some snacks."
After hearing this, Yun Qingshi replied in a listless tone: "Okay then..."

At the same time, in the main room of Ye Runan's residence, the two of them were still sitting opposite each other drinking tea in silence.
The teapot of water was quickly gone. Ye Runan picked it up and looked at it, then pretended to be surprised and asked, "You've finished it?"
After that, he shouted outside, "Jueming, the tea is gone. Go make some more."
Hearing this, Prince Xiao, who had drunk several cups of tea and was almost full, finally spoke to stop Ye Runan: "No need."
Ye Runan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Not drinking again? Are you full?"
Xiao Jiwu had already heard that Ye Runan was joking at this time. He immediately looked up at him and said, "You should know why I came here. I just want to ask you, but-"
Before Prince Xiao could finish, Ye Runan blinked and interrupted him: "I don't know, what is your purpose in coming here? Didn't you say you wanted to drink tea?"
Xiao Jiwu: ...
Xiao Jiwu pursed his lips, and finally gave in. He said in a deep voice, "I want to ask you, is there any way to make Eleven also like me?"
No matter what, he would not let Ying Shiyi go.
If Ying Shiyi doesn't like him, he will find ways to make him like him.
He remembered Ying Shiyi once said that he was not good to him, but how else could he be considered good?
Ye Runan nodded upon hearing this, his face showing no surprise. He said, "Why didn't you just say no earlier? Why are you hiding it so much? What's there to be embarrassed about in front of my brother?"
"Okay, I'll write a letter to Master later and tell him that our junior brother has also fallen in love. Master will be so happy when he finds out."
