"Sir, your beef noodles are here." At this moment, the waiter brought out two bowls of noodles.
Lü Qiao glanced at Si Yi in surprise. When did he order the food?
"Put it there," Si Yi instructed, pointing to the table in the yard.
"Alright," the waiter replied, quickly placing the noodles on the table. "Please enjoy your meal, sir."
After saying that, the waiter withdrew.
Si Yi glanced at Lü Qiao and said, "Go and eat."
Greenie was already starving, and the aroma of beef and noodles made her even hungrier.
But she held back and said to Si Yi, "The fire in the stove has stabilized, there's no need to fan it anymore, let's eat together."
Si Yi glanced at the fire in the stove, nodded, and said, "Alright." He got up, placed the fan on the stool, and sat down at the table in the courtyard with Lü Qiao.
Thinking that his right hand was inconvenient, Lü Qiao was about to ask if she should feed him when she saw him pick up the chopsticks with his left hand and skillfully pick up a pinch of noodles.
Green Beauty: "..."
She was glad she hadn't offered to help, otherwise she would have been embarrassed.
After taking a couple of bites of noodles, Si Yi noticed that she was still standing there without touching her chopsticks, and couldn't help but frown. "Why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking?"
Lu Qiao snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head. "No. It's just a little hot. I want to wait until it cools down a bit before I eat it."
"Can't you blow on it if it's hot? If you wait any longer, the noodles will burn." Si Yi looked at her like she was an idiot.
Lü Qiao took a breath, didn't argue with him, picked up a mouthful of noodles, and then blew on it.
Si Yi's gaze fell on her pouting rosy lips. He paused for a moment, then came to his senses, frowned, and looked away.
After the two finished eating their noodles, they waited a while longer before the medicine was finally ready.
Because it was too hot, Si Yi didn't want to wait and took the medicine bowl back into the house.
Seeing that it was still early, Lü Qiao said to Si Yi, "Give me the clothes you changed out of, I'll wash them and take them to dry."
Si Yi said, "No need, they're all broken, just throw them away."
Green Beauty disagreed, saying, "We don't have much money left, and it's hot now. We need to change clothes every day. If we throw them away, what will we wear next? I bought needles and thread, and I'll mend them after they dry."
"That doesn't require you..."
"Si Yi, you saved me. I'd do anything for you, let alone wash your clothes." Green Fairy stared at him without blinking.
Si Yi frowned, "I already said, saving you was just..."
“I know it’s only because of my young lady, but you have no obligation to save me. Since you saved me, I should know how to repay your kindness.” Green Fairy looked at her stubbornly.
Meeting her clear, bright eyes, Si Yi pursed his lips, said nothing more, turned back into the house, and took out her clothes to change into.
Lü Qiao took it and said cheerfully, "I still have water in my room, so I'll go back to my room to wash up."
Because of the incident where she was spied on while taking a shower, Si Yi was a little worried, so after bringing the medicine, he followed her to her room.
Hearing the sounds of clothes being washed coming from the shower room, a certain corner of Si Yi's heart was touched.
Lü Qiao worked quickly and efficiently, washing the two people's clothes and then taking them to the yard to dry.
By the time everything was done, it was already dark.
The two of them were exhausted after a long day.
Lü Qiao took the quilt from the house and went to Si Yi's room.
If you can be spied on while taking a shower, it means this inn is not safe.
Rather than regretting it later if something really happened that night, she might as well sleep on the floor in Si Yi's room.
After she had spread out the blankets and was about to lie down to sleep, Si Yi said, "You sleep on the bed."
Greenie looked at him in surprise, "But didn't you say..."
"You want to sleep on the floor?" Si Yi interrupted her impatiently.
Of course, Lü Qiao didn't want to, but now that he had done her a favor and his arm was injured, how could she possibly take his bed?
"I'm fine..."
"Stop arguing and hurry up and go to Mu Chui." After saying that, Si Yi lay down on the quilt on the ground.
Seeing this, Lü Qiao had no choice but to go to bed and lower her eyes.
After lying down, she thought she would lower her eyes quickly, but surprisingly, she couldn't lower them.
Perhaps because so much had happened in the past two days, she suddenly felt a little out of sorts when she relaxed.
Especially since it was the first time in her life that she was in the same room with a man, the feeling was very special, but she did not reject it.
She turned over and lay facing outwards.
The lights in the room were off, and by the moonlight filtering in from the window, one could vaguely see the shadow of the boy lying on the quilt.
Perhaps he was tired, for the boy was breathing evenly and softly.
As she looked at it, Lü Qiao smiled and suddenly her eyes lowered.
The night passed peacefully.
The next morning, Lü Qiao woke up early.
She turned to look at Si Yi on the ground, only to find that the blanket had already been put away and Si Yi was nowhere to be seen in the room.
She hurriedly sat up, about to get out of bed to look for him.
Si Yi pushed open the door and walked in.
"Si Yi, where did you go?" Lü Qiao asked anxiously.
Si paused, glanced at her, and said, "I went to take care of something."
"What is it?" Green Fairy asked.
"Why do you talk so much?" Si Yi frowned.
Green Beauty shut her mouth in annoyance.
Seeing her like this, Si Yi frowned even more. After a pause, he confessed, "We don't have enough silver to buy horses to go to Xiangyang. I just went to the street and saw a notice posted by a wealthy family in town. They are offering a reward of five hundred taels of silver if we can help them catch the flower thief."
"A flower thief?" Green Fairy was somewhat surprised.
Si Yi explained, "It is said that a womanizer came to the town and would go to the rich man's house every night to harass his daughter. The rich man was so bothered that he offered a large reward for the capture of the womanizer."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao understood, but frowned and said worriedly, "But the injury on your hand hasn't healed yet..."
"He's just a lowly flower thief, it's nothing to worry about," Si Yi said nonchalantly.
But Lüqiao was still worried, "Wait until your hand is healed..."
“We’ve already been delayed for many days. We can’t delay any longer. We need to get to Xiangyang as soon as possible,” Si Yi interrupted her.
Seeing this, Lü Qiao said nothing more.
Because she knew that no matter how much she said, Si Yi wouldn't listen; on the contrary, he might find her annoying.
"I bought some soy milk and steamed buns, get up and eat." Si Yi placed the breakfast she was carrying on the table.
"Okay," Green Fairy replied, getting out of bed to wash up.
After breakfast, Lü Qiao wanted to prepare medicine for Si Yi, but Si Yi said, "It's already prepared, and I've already drunk it."
Lü Qiao looked at him in surprise. How early had he gotten up?
"You stay here by yourself, I'm going out for a bit," Si Yi said before leaving.
With nothing to do, Lü Qiao went to the backyard to collect the laundry.
Surprisingly, when she encountered the shopkeeper and waiter, they were extremely respectful to her.
She looked at the two of them with some suspicion.
