"ah?"
Zhu Qinghao snapped out of her daze, looking at Sheng Yi with a somewhat blank expression, before realizing what was happening on her own.
"Oh, no, I was thinking about what happened the day before yesterday, and I got distracted. Sorry."
Seeing the earnest apology on Zhu Qinghao's face, Sheng Yi's expression shifted slightly.
"What's there to apologize for? It's only natural. Hurry up and eat your breakfast, it'll get cold soon."
"Okay, sure~"
Zhu Qinghao agreed, picked up the egg in her hand and put it in her mouth. After taking a bite, she puffed out her cheeks and smiled at Sheng Yi.
Even though he had seen that pure and bright smile several times, Sheng Yi was still mesmerized by it...
After breakfast, Sheng Yi, though reluctant, still took the initiative to wash the dishes and chopsticks before saying goodbye and leaving.
Watching Sheng Yi's departing figure, Zhu Qinghao breathed a slight sigh of relief. She had a feeling that Sheng Yi was a little nervous when he was there.
It wasn't that I was particularly nervous, nor that I didn't want to be with him, but I felt a little pressured in every gesture, afraid of making a fool of myself.
Once his figure had completely disappeared from sight, Zhu Qinghao patted her face, ignoring the strange feeling in her heart, and returned to her room.
Sheng Yi, who had already left, also tried very hard to restrain himself, so that he didn't look back every few steps as he walked away.
It wasn't until he reached what he thought was a dead end that he finally dared to look back, and there he saw Zhu Qinghao closing the gate.
He paused slightly, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
After confirming that the door was tightly closed and would not be opened again, he stood there for a while before turning around and walking towards the infirmary.
Grandpa Sheng was picking through the medicinal herbs in the cabinet when he heard Sheng Yi return home, but he didn't even look up.
"You're back? Have you had breakfast? If not, there are noodles over there, go cook some yourself."
Sheng Yi took the medical kit off his shoulder and put it back in its original place.
"Have you eaten? Has my old man eaten? If not, I'll cook you some."
Only then did Old Master Sheng turn around, staring at him with bright, piercing eyes.
"You've eaten? Where did you eat?"
Looking at his eyes, which seemed to be constantly trying to "catch someone in the act," Sheng Yi was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Old man, what are you thinking? I did go to the county town. There's plenty of food there, isn't there?"
For some reason, he didn't want to tell the old man about his visit to Zhu Qinghao that morning, so he simply said that he had eaten in the city.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Sheng stared at him for two seconds, gave a curt "Oh," and then turned back to continue doing his own thing.
"What do you mean? What's with that 'oh'? Have you eaten or not? Do you want me to cook you some noodles?"
"No need, no need, I already ate. You left this morning, and I didn't sleep anymore. I had breakfast early this morning."
