Jing Li was silent for a moment, then curled his lips: "So you were just passing by. Since you don't care about Ayi so much, I'm afraid you don't want to know what he left for you. Well, I'll leave first."
"Wait." Chen Yan'an stopped him, his eyes shining. "He left a message for me? What did he say?"
Jing Li raised his eyebrows slightly and told him what Ayi had just said.
Chen Yanan's eyes, which had just brightened, dimmed again, and he said dejectedly, "I know."
Jing Li had a protective feeling towards Ayi, and instinctively didn't want anyone to take advantage of his Ayi. However, seeing the fat boy's expression, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
Jing Li said, "Ayi has a simple personality. Of course he won't understand your hints. Why don't you be more direct?"
"I'm afraid of scaring him..." Chen Yan'an whispered, "Ayi said that many people in the county town go to his shop, all wanting to get close to him and do something bad to him. He's encountered too many such things, and I don't want him to think that I'm that kind of person."
Jing Li pointed it out: "But you just want to do something bad to him."
Chen Yanan: “…”
"That's different!" The little fat man blushed and said, "I want to pursue him seriously and marry him!"
Jing Li chuckled. "You've only known him for less than two weeks, and you're already saying you'll marry him? Isn't that too hasty?"
"Ah?" Chen Yan'an wasn't quite sure. "It's been over half a month already, is that still too hasty? Many couples in the village have only met once or twice before getting married, and some have never met at all. How long have you been with Qin Zhao?"
Jing Li was stunned: "I..."
Jing Li had never thought about this question.
He worked as a fisherman in Qin Zhao's house for more than a month, and pretended to be a husband for several months, and then... they got together in a daze like this.
Qin Zhao had never even confessed to him seriously.
So how long did it take him to fall in love with Qin Zhao?
Jing Li couldn't think of an answer for a moment, and Chen Yan'an just asked casually, not taking it to heart: "I can't say any more to you, I have to hurry home to study."
Jing Li: "Reading?"
"Yeah, I thought it through last night. Ayi is so capable, I can't always be a fool." Chen Yan'an said seriously, "I have to study hard from now on, pass the exam to become a scholar, and learn medical skills. I will definitely be able to become a clerk in his pharmacy!"
Jing Li: “…”
The previous ambitions are fine, but what's with the last sentence? Working so hard to pass the imperial examination, only to work as a clerk in a pharmacy?
Jing Li was silent for a moment. Before he could say anything, Chen Yan'an bowed to him politely, turned around and ran away.
Jing Li looked at his back from afar and sighed.
If he does this...will Ayi really like it?
Jing Li returned home alone, pushed open the gate, and found the bamboo courtyard quiet.
He walked softly into the main room and saw Qin Zhao lying on the bed, soundly asleep.
Because of the medicine he took, Qin Zhao was particularly sleepy these days, but he always felt well restored after waking up, so it wasn't a bad thing.
Jing Li knelt beside the bed, resting his head on his arm, and tilted his head to look at the other person's sleeping face.
During these two days, Jing Li had been reminding himself not to get too close to Qin Zhao, so he had no chance to observe this person so closely.
Qin Zhao looked completely different when asleep than Jing Li. He slept perfectly, lying quietly in bed, his chest rising and falling steadily with his breathing. From Jing Li's vantage point, he could just see his long, curled eyelashes and his handsome, slightly furrowed brows.
Jing Li still didn't understand when he fell in love with Qin Zhao.
He also couldn't think of anything about this person that was not worthy of his love.
Not only is she good-looking, but she can also cook and understand medicine. She has a calm but not dull personality, and treats people with propriety and courtesy. There is nothing about her that does not fascinate Jing Li.
Jing Li shifted his gaze to the other person's hand hanging by the bed.
What he liked most was Qin Zhao's hand.
