The elders of the Chen family were still arguing about tampering with the medicine, so they had no choice but to let the younger Chen Yanan take care of the patient.
Qin Zhao said: "But you don't want to?"
"I... I don't want to either." Chen Yan'an said in a low voice, "I just don't want my grandma to get hurt as a result of this."
Qin Zhao patted Chen Yan'an's shoulder, and the latter buried his head in his hands. After a while, Chen Yan'an's suppressed crying was heard.
"I...my grandma is very nice to me."
The little fat boy's shoulders were shaking from crying, and he looked a little funny.
Jing Li's fish basket was still on the small table next to the bed. As long as he propped himself up, he could see the old man lying on the bed.
The old man had gray hair and his breathing was steady, as if he was asleep.
The old woman was very kind-hearted. If she had not saved the seriously ill Qin Zhao and rented him the empty house in her home, who knows what would have happened to Qin Zhao now.
Good people should be rewarded.
Jing Li thought to himself.
Not far away, the little fat boy was still sobbing and saying, "...If grandma can wake up, I will study hard, pass the imperial examination, and never cause trouble for her and my mother again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man on the bed coughed lightly.
Jing Li: “…”
So amazing?
He wagged his tail and looked back at Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao naturally noticed it as well. He retracted his gaze and said to Chen Yan'an, "Did you really mean what you just said?"
Chen Yanan: "Why would I lie at this time, but...but..."
"Your grandma is awake."
"Don't lie to me, how can you--"
Chen Yanan's voice paused.
He raised his head and saw the old man on the bed coughing softly again, and the hand hanging by his side moved.
Chen Yanan: “………………”
The old lady of the Chen family woke up and soon became confused again. Only Qin Zhao looked at the little koi in the fish basket thoughtfully.
When Qin Zhao brought the little koi back home, it was already dark.
He put the little koi back into the barrel, then went to heat up the braised pork and steamed buns from the morning and brought them to the table.
"Get up and eat." Qin Zhao knocked on the edge of the wooden barrel.
The little koi's movements seemed much slower than usual. It took a long while for it to swing its tail and swim up dizzily, even almost bumping into the wall of the wooden barrel.
Qin Zhao quickly stretched out his hand to block him, preventing the little koi from hitting its head.
"What's wrong?" Qin Zhao poked the little koi. "Are you sleepy?"
No... not sleepy...
If Jing Li was in human form now, Qin Zhao would be able to see that his eyelids were drooping so much that he couldn't lift them up.
For some reason, after leaving Chen's house, he felt extremely sleepy and just wanted to have a good sleep.
I was in good spirits at the beginning.
The little koi fish tried to stay awake, and its fins struggled to sway at its side.
No, he couldn't sleep yet... He had been thinking about the braised pork all day, but he hadn't even had a bite...
Qin Zhao also noticed that he was not in good spirits and said, "Get some sleep first and eat tomorrow."
"No..." Jing Li said stubbornly, "I want to eat meat..."
Jing Li was so sleepy that he was unconscious and didn't notice that what he had just said was human language.
The clear and soft voice of the young man made Qin Zhao slightly startled. He spoke with a somewhat dry voice: "...Xiaoyu?"
But the little koi didn't respond to him.
Qin Zhao stretched out his finger and touched his head. The little koi floated down to the bottom of the water and stopped moving. Only the gills on both sides fluttered gently with his breathing.
...Falling asleep?
