Lin Xihe hurriedly stepped forward and opened the courtyard gate. Ye Yunfan carried the items from the car one by one to the stove near the entrance and arranged them neatly.
After placing it, he carefully explained a few more words to Lin Xihe, reminding her to remember to change the dressing on time, to move around as little as possible in the next few days, and to pay close attention to the injury to her ankle.
"I understand, I will do as instructed."
I'll come see you in a couple of days.
"Let's wait a few more days. I want to rest and recover in peace these few days. Let's go quickly, the sun will be setting soon." Lin Xihe was secretly calculating in her mind, thinking that she had to get rid of Ji Zhuo as soon as possible in the next few days, so that no more trouble could be caused, so she declined verbally.
"good."
Ye Yunfan had just left the courtyard when he turned back.
“Today, I saw this velvet flower and I think it suits you very well.” As Ye Yunfan spoke, he carefully took out a wooden box from his pocket, and inside was an orange-red velvet flower.
He treasured the velvet flower, hiding it in the most secure place in his arms. The petals were soft and fluffy, making it look incredibly lovely.
"I can't take any more of your things. You've helped me so much today, I already feel really bad."
Lin Xihe waved her hands repeatedly. Although she was happy, she felt embarrassed to accept his gifts again. After all, it was inappropriate to accept gifts from others repeatedly.
"I don't have a younger sister at home. If you don't accept this, am I supposed to wear these flowers myself?" Ye Yunfan said, looking aggrieved.
Lin Xihe thought about it for a moment, and figured that since she had already accepted the clothes he gave her today, this was just a velvet flower. She might as well accept it and find another opportunity to give Ye Yunfan a different gift in return.
Thinking this, she slowly reached out her hand, preparing to take the velvet flower.
But to everyone's surprise, Ye Yunfan did not place the velvet flower in Lin Xihe's hand. Instead, with a gentle smile on his lips, he leaned closer and carefully placed the velvet flower in Lin Xihe's hair.
Lin Xihe usually only wears a simple wooden hairpin in her hair. Now, the orange-red velvet flower inserted in her thick, black hair is like a delicate little flower that suddenly blooms in spring, adding a touch of playfulness to her.
"nice."
Ye Yunfan praised softly, referring to both the velvet flower and the person.
Lin Xihe sensed the atmosphere becoming increasingly ambiguous, and the thought of Ji Zhuo still hiding in the house made her feel extremely uneasy. She quickly urged Ye Yunfan to leave.
"Hurry back, and be careful on the road."
Although Ye Yunfan was somewhat reluctant, he could not linger any longer and had no choice but to turn around, board the carriage, and slowly drive away.
He sat in the carriage, looking back every few steps, until the carriage turned a corner and Lin Xihe's figure disappeared from sight, then he turned his gaze away and quickened his pace.
Lin Xihe stood there, watching Ye Yunfan walk away until the carriage was completely out of sight. Then, as if waking from a dream, she turned around, quickly walked into the courtyard, and locked the door from the inside.
She leaned against the door, gently touching her chest. She felt as if a little deer was running wildly in her heart, her heart pounding loudly. Her cheeks had become burning hot without her noticing, and the image of Ye Yunfan and the scenes of their time together kept flashing through her mind.
Just as I locked the door, the door behind me suddenly creaked open and was slowly pushed open from the inside.
Upon seeing Ji Zhuo appear before her, Lin Xihe was taken aback at first, then a smile bloomed on her face as she praised, "Ah Jian, not bad, not bad at all! You performed really well today!"
She was referring to Ji Zhuo's good behavior today; he hadn't caused any trouble and had kept himself well hidden, avoiding any unexpected situations in front of Ye Yunfan, which saved her a lot of worry.
However, on second thought, he probably heard everything he and Ye Yunfan said outside.
Ji Zhuo seemed not to hear her praise, and went straight to the bags and packages on the ground, carrying them into the house one by one.
Seeing that Ji Zhuo was ignoring her, Lin Xihe felt a sense of indifference. She snorted and limped into the house, dragging her still slightly aching foot.
She muttered to herself as she walked, "Hmph, they ignore me, who cares?"
Seeing that Ji Zhuo had moved everything into the house, only the door panel remained standing alone outside.
"Go and bring the door panels in as well."
"Why did you buy a door panel?" Ji Zhuo looked up, his eyes filled with doubt, and looked at Lin Xihe with a puzzled expression.
“With these two stools, we can make a makeshift bed for you. Once you’re better and have left, I’ll just move this door panel to the gate to the yard. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?” Lin Xihe explained, secretly marveling at how brilliant her idea was, solving the immediate problem of not having enough beds without wasting resources.
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhuo stared intently at Lin Xihe, making her feel uneasy.
"Why? A bed is too expensive, and I don't have the ability to bring one back. I'll just use two stools to make a bed, and that'll still work. If you don't like it, fine, I'll sleep on this bed made of door panels, and you can sleep on your bed. Is that alright now?"
Lin Xihe said irritably, feeling a pang of pain in her heart at the thought of the money she had spent in the city today to buy these things.
She had carefully selected this door panel, choosing the cheapest one possible. She also bought the cheapest items for everything else. But by piecing together the money along the way, she had already spent a full six taels of silver, which was no small sum for her.
