Chapter 61: Can't Sleep Either



Lin Cuiying rubbed her stomach. Although she had eaten some grilled fish, she was indeed a little hungry now. "Okay, I'll go right now."

After saying that, Lin Cuiying turned and went to the kitchen.

Madam Chen and her two young maids followed.

Lin Cuiying came to the kitchen and saw that the food was still warm in the pot, which moved her deeply.

She knew that her family cared about her.

Lin Cuiying picked up the bowl and began to eat heartily.

Madam Chen and her two young maids watched her from the side, both with smiles on their faces.

"Eat slowly, don't choke," Chen reminded her.

Lin Cuiying nodded and continued eating.

In no time, the bowl of rice was finished.

She put down her bowl, patted her stomach contentedly, and said, "I'm full."

"It's good that you've eaten your fill," Chen said with a smile. "It's getting late, and you must be tired after a long day. Get some rest."

"You should all get some rest too."

After saying that, she turned and went back into the house.

Back in the room, Lin Cuiying lay down on the bed with her two little maids.

She closed her eyes, and the image of An Yunzhou suddenly appeared in her mind.

I wonder how he is doing in the cave?

However, these things have nothing to do with her anymore.

Lin Cuiying turned over, trying to stop thinking about these things.

Not long after, she fell asleep.

Meanwhile, An Yunzhou, inside the cave, couldn't fall asleep.

He lay on the hay and leaves, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

The image of Lin Cuiying always appears in my mind.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. He had only met that woman once, but he kept thinking about her.

An Yunzhou sat up somewhat irritably and leaned against the stone wall of the cave.

He looked up at the cave entrance, but it was pitch black outside and he couldn't see anything.

I wonder how that woman is doing now?

Did you get home safely?

An Yunzhou patted his head in annoyance, feeling somewhat bewildered.

He didn't even know who that woman was, yet he kept thinking about her.

"Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore."

An Yunzhou took a deep breath and lay back down.

He closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.

Not long after, he fell asleep.

The next morning, as soon as Lin Cuiying opened her eyes, a silly voice rang in her mind, "Host, you're awake?"

"Mmm," Lin Cuiying responded, sitting up from the bed.

The two little girls also woke up. They rubbed their eyes and looked at Lin Cuiying, "Mother, you're awake."

"Yes, they're awake." Lin Cuiying patted the two little girls' heads. "You two can sleep a little longer."

“We’re not going to sleep.” The two little girls shook their heads and got out of bed.

Lin Cuiying dressed the two girls and then led them out of the room.

Madam Chen was already busy in the courtyard. When she saw Lin Cuiying and the two maids come out, she smiled and said, "You're awake. Come and have breakfast."

"Okay." Lin Cuiying replied and led the two maids to the table to sit down.

There was steaming hot porridge and several side dishes on the table, which smelled delicious.

Lin Cuiying picked up the bowl and began to eat.

As I was eating, a silly voice suddenly rang in my mind, "Host, do you want to go check on that An Yunzhou?"

"Look at him?" Lin Cuiying was taken aback.

"yes!"

"I'm not looking." Lin Cuiying picked up a piece of food. "The mission is already complete, what's the point of going back?"

"But..." Doubi hesitated, "He was injured after all, and he spent the whole night in the freezing cold outdoors. Are you really just going to abandon him?"

Lin Cuiying frowned after hearing the silly thing.

She knew that the silly guy was right.

An Yunzhou was so badly injured and was in a cave. Although he was covered with dry grass and leaves, it was hard to say whether he could make it through in this weather.

But what does this have to do with her?

They were just strangers who met by chance; she didn't need to care whether he lived or died.

Thinking of this, Lin Cuiying shook her head. "There's no need to go see him. The mission is complete, and his life or death is none of my concern."

"But..." Doubi wanted to say something, but Lin Cuiying interrupted him.

"Don't say anymore, I've already made up my mind," Lin Cuiying said firmly.

The silly guy had no choice but to shut his mouth and stop talking.

Lin Cuiying continued eating her breakfast, but she felt somewhat irritable.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Even though she had decided not to care about An Yunzhou's life or death, she still couldn't help thinking about him.

"Sigh..." Lin Cuiying sighed and put down her bowl. "I'm full."

"Eat some more," Chen suggested.

"No need, I'm already full." Lin Cuiying shook her head, stood up, and said, "I'll go tidy up."

After saying that, she turned and went inside.

Back in her room, Lin Cuiying sat on the bed, her mind in turmoil.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Even though she and An Yunzhou were just casual acquaintances, she couldn't help but think about him.

"Host..."

Just then, a silly voice suddenly rang in my mind.

"What is it now?" Lin Cuiying asked impatiently.

"Um... An Yunzhou has a fever right now, and his condition isn't good," Doubi said cautiously.

"Fever?" Lin Cuiying was taken aback. "How could you have a fever?"

"I don't know either, maybe the wound is infected," the goofy guy said. "Host, do you want to go check on him?"

"I've already said, his life or death is none of my business." Lin Cuiying frowned. "Don't mention him to me again."

“But…” Doubi hesitated, “If you go see him and deliver the medicine, I can give you a chance to win a prize.”

"A chance to win a prize?" Lin Cuiying's eyes lit up, somewhat incredulous. "You're really giving me a chance to win a prize?"

“Really,” Doubi said confidently. “As long as you deliver the medicine, I’ll give you a chance to win a prize.”

Lin Cuiying was somewhat tempted by Doubi's words.

She knew that An Yunzhou was so badly injured and now had a fever. If he didn't receive treatment soon, his life would be in real danger.

Although they were just strangers who met by chance, they had at least become acquainted, so she couldn't just stand by and watch someone die, could she?

Thinking of this, Lin Cuiying gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go deliver the medicine."

She had just stood up to leave when she remembered something and stopped.

She doesn't have any medicine at home, so does she have to go to town to buy it?

This back and forth will take at least half a day, and by then, An Yunzhou will probably be long gone.

Thinking of this, Lin Cuiying couldn't help but frown.

"Host, don't worry, I've already prepared the medicine for you." The silly voice rang out at just the right time.

"You prepared this for me?" Lin Cuiying exclaimed in surprise. "Where did you prepare it?"

"The medicine is inside the host's space," Doubi said in his characteristic bubbly voice. "Host, you can take a look."
