Si Tian immediately understood what Zhu Qinghao was thinking, but she wasn't so malicious as to force her to confront the issue directly, so she let it go and turned to Sheng Yi to give him her assurance.
"Don't worry, Dr. Jiang. As long as I'm here, I'll follow her everywhere I go, all day long, provided she's willing."
Also, if there's anything else you need my help with, I'll do it without hesitation. Even if you don't ask, I'm already planning to do it anyway, since Haohao is a good friend I consider a friend.
Although I'm not the most important person to her, she is the most important person to me.
Zhu Qinghao's story was quite touching at first, but as it progressed, something felt off. Was Si Tian using this opportunity to accuse him?
Sheng Yi didn't understand the previous discussion between the two, so when he heard the last sentence, he thought Si Tian was talking about him, and his ears turned slightly red.
However, after hearing Si Tian's assurance, he felt much more at ease. At least Zhu Qing was here, so she wasn't completely without help. This way, he could leave with more peace of mind.
Everything went smoothly, except for Zhu Qinghao, who didn't seem to be having a good time.
Sheng Yi had already agreed to take her up the mountain to hunt, but Si Tian didn't leave after breakfast and kept chatting with her, and she couldn't find a suitable reason to send Si Tian away.
On the contrary, the more times she tested him, the more suspicious she became.
"What's going on? Why do you want me to go back so badly? What are you planning to do? Are you sneaking off to do something bad, or are you trying to sneak out again?"
"Zhu Qing, let me tell you, your foot isn't healed yet. If you go out and cause trouble, you'll be the one suffering. No way, I'm staying here today, you're not allowed to go anywhere."
Sheng Yi accepted Zhu Qinghao's pleading look. Looking at her pitiful little expression, he found it extremely cute, but in the end, he couldn't help but speak up for her.
“It’s not like we’re going anywhere else. I’m planning to take her to the clinic to get her dressing changed and to see my grandfather.”
This reason was plausible. After looking at both of them with some skepticism for four days, he finally asked Zhu Qing how she was doing.
"You're really going there to change your dressing?"
Zhu Qinghao nodded quickly, not daring to hesitate for a moment.
"Yes, that's right. I got the medicine wet while washing my feet last night, so I need to change to a new one today."
Also, Sheng Yi is leaving soon, and I haven't seen Grandpa Sheng in a long time, so I'll go over and have lunch with him.
"Well, that's fine then. Anyway, Dr. Jiang is a doctor, so he definitely knows more than me. He's already willing to take you out to eat, so your foot probably isn't that serious. But you still need to be careful and not hurt yourself again."
Zhu Qinghao was overjoyed to receive the agreement, and looked at Si Tian with a forced smile.
"Yes, yes, I know Sweetie cares about me. Thank you, Sweetie. I promise I won't get hurt again, don't worry!"
Thus, Sheng Yi successfully led Zhu Qinghao out the door.
After escaping Si Tian's sight, the two headed straight up the mountain.
Once they reached the mountain, Sheng Yi was no longer comfortable with Zhu Qinghao running around in the woods, so he carried her on his back.
Zhu Qinghao was initially reluctant, after all, the point of going up the mountain is to pursue an experience, not just to take a look.
But now Sheng Yi is threatening her. If she doesn't agree, he'll have to take her home and put her in Si Tian's care.
Zhu Qinghao shook her head at the thought of the incorruptible Si Tian.
Forget it, let Sheng Yi carry it. It's just a little bit, it won't hurt him, right?
Thinking it through, she happily accepted the situation.
Moreover, she had another thought: it was one thing for Sheng Yi to carry her now, but he couldn't carry her back the same way, could he? After all, there were other prey waiting for him.
