And now she was finally certain that Sheng Yi's gaze had always been on her.
Thinking about this, she suddenly realized that she had overlooked a problem.
When exactly did Sheng Yi start liking her?
She forgot to ask that question, and Sheng Yi himself didn't bring it up.
Never mind, I'll ask about this next time we chat.
Zhu Qinghao was really curious. Since Sheng Yi said that he was not attracted to her at first sight, but had been planning it for a long time, then it shouldn't have started after they met again in the village, right?
Zhu Qing lay in bed with mixed feelings, her mind preoccupied with these thoughts, and before she knew it, she had lost consciousness and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, as soon as she got up and finished washing up, she saw Sheng Yi already coming over to make her breakfast.
"Brother Sheng Yi, why are you up so early? I feel like you're going to spoil me rotten if this keeps up."
Sheng Yi reached out and gently patted her on the head.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're not useless at all. You're doing just fine."
And if I had the chance to cook for you for the rest of my life, it would be the greatest honor of my existence.
Zhu Qinghao almost smiled when she heard Sheng Yi's words.
It wasn't that she liked hearing such flattery, but rather that she genuinely felt that having someone cook for her for a lifetime seemed like a pretty good thing.
"Sure, if you can cook for me for the rest of my life, then I don't need to learn this lousy cooking skill anymore, since it's always making things difficult for me anyway."
"Well, if you don't want to learn, then you don't have to. But if you're willing to learn, you can learn whatever you want, so you won't neglect yourself when I'm not around."
The first thing Sheng Yi did upon arriving was not to cook, but to wash his hands and check on Zhu Qinghao's foot injury.
Zhu Qinghao cooperated well, obediently stretching out her foot for him to see.
Anyway, her foot is healed now. It would be troublesome if Sheng Yi didn't even look at it and judged that it wasn't healed.
The next moment, Sheng Yi's gentle voice came over.
"Hmm, it seems to be recovering well. There's no redness or swelling at all. Does it still hurt?"
Sheng Yi half-squatted on the ground, holding Zhu Qinghao's calf with one hand and gently pressing the other hand on the spot where she had twisted her leg. He looked up at Zhu Qinghao with concern in his eyes.
When Zhu Qinghao met his gaze, she became uneasy and shook her head in a flustered manner.
"No, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Sheng Yi then applied a little more force and rotated her ankle to confirm that Zhu Qinghao was no longer in pain before letting go.
"You're recovering quite quickly, but you still need to take good care of yourself afterwards. You can't do anything reckless, or you'll suffer, understand?"
Zhu Qinghao nodded subconsciously, but halfway through, she suddenly remembered the matter of going up the mountain.
"Okay... no, you promised to take me up the mountain to hunt, Brother Sheng Yi, you can't go back on your word!"
Sheng Yi originally thought he could fool her into staying home and resting for a while, but he didn't expect her to react so quickly.
But at this moment, he couldn't directly say he disagreed with her coming along. If he did, Zhu Qinghao would probably make a scene.
He knew that Zhu Qinghao had been a troublemaker since childhood, and she wouldn't give up so easily if she didn't achieve her goal.
Sheng Yi gave her a complicated look, pondered for a while, and then offered a solution.
“I can take you there, but I’ll have to carry you up and down the mountain. Do you agree? If you agree, I’ll take you with me.”
"Otherwise, with your injury, I really can't feel comfortable letting you go hiking on your own. What if you accidentally step on something again? What am I supposed to do then?"
This was not the answer Zhu Qinghao wanted. She felt that she could walk up on her own, and Sheng Yi should have been carrying prey down the mountain, so how could he have the means to carry her all the time?
