Si Yi scoffed, disagreeing with her words.
Seeing his dismissive attitude, Lü Qiao earnestly said, "Don't think that only women are in danger. Boys are just as vulnerable, especially good-looking boys."
Upon hearing this, Si Yi paused for a moment, his handsome face inexplicably flushing.
What nonsense is she spouting? She's really shameless.
In the end, Si Yi did not ask Lü Qiao to guard for him. He took the clothes that Lü Qiao had bought for him and went straight back to his room.
After he finished washing up, he went to knock on Lü Qiao's door.
After being spied on while showering, Lü Qiao was too afraid to stay in the room any longer. Hearing Si Yi knock on the door, she quickly went to open it.
But when she saw the boy wearing the brand-new clothes she had bought for him, she was somewhat lost in thought.
Unexpectedly, Si Yi, who is usually cold and aloof, has a refined and elegant air about him when dressed like this.
"Si Yi, this outfit suits you very well," she couldn't help but praise.
Upon hearing this, Si Yi glanced at the color of her dress, then looked at her own, and felt a strange sensation in her heart.
Why did you buy the same color?
Lü Qiao didn't think much of it and simply said, "The clothes in that shop weren't very nice. These two outfits of ours were the only ones that were slightly better, so I took these two sets. What's wrong? Don't you like this color?"
Si glanced at her. "No." He paused, wanting to ask her how she knew his size, but then decided against it.
However, without him mentioning it, Lü Qiao took the initiative to say, "I was worried that the size wouldn't fit, but now that I see you're dressed well, I'm relieved."
Upon hearing this, Si Yi asked, "How did you know my size?"
Speaking of this, Lü Qiao said with some pride, "I may not be good at anything else, but I'm quite skilled at needlework. For example, I can basically tell your size just by looking at it and feeling it."
"Touch?" Si Yi narrowed his eyes, seriously suspecting that she might have done something to him while he was unconscious yesterday.
Sensing the danger in his tone, Lü Qiao quickly waved her hands, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't touch you... it's not that..." She didn't know what to say, so she could only honestly say, "It's just that yesterday when you were unconscious, I was worried you were drowning, so I pressed on your chest..."
Her voice trailed off when she met the boy's gaze.
Upon hearing her words, Si Yi was initially taken aback, but after realizing what she meant, he laughed angrily, "Lv Qiao, what else did you do to me while I was unconscious?"
Green Fairy blushed, "No, really no... I was so worried about you, and in my panic I did that..."
Si Yi stared at her flushed face, stunned. Normally, he would have thrown her out long ago, but for some reason, he didn't even have that thought now.
Thinking of this, he frowned.
Seeing that he didn't pursue the matter further, Lü Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and then asked with concern, "By the way, have you seen a doctor about your injury?"
"Not yet." Si Yi shook his head.
"Then hurry up and go." Green Fairy quickly closed the door, somewhat anxiously. "Your injury is quite serious. It won't be good if you don't see a doctor."
Si Yi followed her to the clinic somewhat passively.
Because of the hot weather and the fact that his injury was not properly treated, it worsened.
"How did it get so serious? If you had come any later, this hand would have been ruined." The doctor looked serious after examining Si Yi's injury.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao turned pale with worry and hurriedly begged the doctor, "Doctor, please treat him quickly."
Seeing that his words had frightened her, the doctor quickly reassured her, "Actually, it's not as serious as you think. As long as the dressing is changed in time, it will be fine. I will prescribe another prescription, and you should remember to decoct it for your husband to drink every day."
Lü Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, doctor." She was so focused on Si Yi's injuries that she didn't even notice the doctor's title.
Si Yi heard this and, seeing that she did not refute the doctor's words, felt a little strange and couldn't help but glance at her.
Green Fairy noticed his gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"
Si Yi turned her face away, looking somewhat uncomfortable. "It's nothing."
"Oh." Green Fairy had no doubts.
The doctor reapplied the medicine to Si Yi's wound and bandaged it.
Back at the inn, Lü Qiao couldn't wait to borrow the kitchen from the innkeeper to prepare the medicine.
Si glanced at the shopkeeper behind the counter.
When the shopkeeper met his cold eyes, his heart pounded a few times. He lowered his head guiltily and pretended to be tidying up the account books on the counter.
Si Yi sneered inwardly, but he wasn't in a hurry to cause trouble for him now; he'd deal with it tomorrow.
He was worried about Lü Qiao, so he followed her into the kitchen.
Since it was already evening, the inn's kitchen was at its busiest, and there were no spare stoves for Lü Qiao to use. Fortunately, there was an unused stove under the eaves outside the door, so Lü Qiao went to the eaves outside to brew medicine.
After rinsing the herbs, she put them into the medicine bowl, remembering the doctor's instructions, and added only two bowls of water.
After preparing it, I put the medicine pot on the stove to boil it.
When Si Yi found her, she was squatting there with a palm-leaf umbrella, fanning the stove.
Seeing Si Yi come in, she quickly said, "Your hand is injured, go back to your room and rest. I'll bring the medicine to you when it's ready."
Si Yi ignored her and sat down on a stool to the side.
He didn't trust the people in the inn.
Especially the shopkeeper.
In just a short while, sweat appeared on Lü Qiao's forehead.
Si Yi saw this, frowned, and snatched the fan from her hand. "I'll take it. You rest."
Green Fairy frowned, "The injury on your arm has worsened. The doctor told you to rest properly, but you..."
"Shut up," Si Yi snapped impatiently.
Green Qiao shut her mouth in annoyance.
When Si saw her squatting there, not knowing how to get up, he frowned and said, "Go to the side and don't block my way."
Lü Qiao stood up as instructed. "Since you don't need my help, I'll go back to my room first."
Upon hearing this, Si Yi frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten about someone peeping at you while you're showering?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao immediately stopped and said with a worried expression, "Um... what about tonight?"
There's only one inn in this small town, so it's impossible for them to change it, and they don't have much money left.
Knowing her concerns, Si Yi pondered for a moment and said calmly, "Come stay in my room tonight."
Green Fairy thought she had misheard, stared at him with wide eyes, and stammered, "What...what do you mean?"
Si paused for a moment before realizing that what he had said had caused her to misunderstand.
He pursed his lips before saying, "I'll sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor."
Green Beauty: "..."
Realizing what she had done, she said, annoyed, "I have a bed to sleep in, why would I want to sleep on the floor in your room?"
“You’ll be safe if you’re in the same room as me,” Si Yi said.
Green Beauty was speechless.
