Chapter 25: You Have a Guest to Come
"I'll take a look." Gu Li walked over to Yan Qing and sat down beside him.
It has been more than a month since his leg injury, and he has almost returned to walking as usual in the past few days, so he should be almost fine.
Gu Li looked at it and said with a smile, "Okay, it's okay." β
He can go back to business as usual.
However, Yan Qing looked at her and said; "I don't feel good."
"It's really good." Gu Li insisted.
"No, it's not good yet, I still need your healing." Yan Qing's tone was firm, and the frankness in his eyes made people involuntarily believe that what he said was true.
Gu Li frowned slightly and looked at him: "Are you doubting my diagnosis?" β
Her diagnosis will not be wrong, not to mention, the broken tendon and bone are not getting better after a month of treatment, which is contrary to medical common sense.
Yan Qing didn't speak, but a smile appeared in those deep eyes.
In this way, Gu Li understood that he did it on purpose.
It's just that his obviously straightforward conspiracy made her not know how to respond.
Why did he say he wasn't good even though he was good? Why did she continue to treat him? Gu Li had an answer in her heart, but in the face of this answer, she was a little nervous and a little flustered.
"I'm going to get a book to read, do you want it?" Gu Li blinked and changed the topic to hide the strangeness in her heart.
"Okay." Yan Qing replied softly.
Gu Li went to get two books and gave him another one.
At this time, it is still early to go to bed, and there is no entertainment here, and the only thing that can be used to pass the time is to read.
Gu Li reads all medical books, and she has to go to the Immortal Grass Hall during the day, so she doesn't have much time to read at all, so she will read a few more pages before going to bed at night.
Yan Qing's books are more miscellaneous, regardless of the content, he reads everything, and he can read each one in depth.
At this time, the two sat under the lamp, each looking at the book in his hand, and neither of them said a word.
It was quiet all around, only the summer insects outside were chirping.
Yan Qing had a smile on his lips, he knew what she was thinking at this time, and he also knew that her heart must not be calm. Otherwise, it would not have been so long and the book in his hand had not turned a page.
Gu Li kept thinking about what he had just said, thinking about the way he looked at her just now.
She was puzzled and wanted to find out. Does he really like her? What do you like about her?
She thought quietly, did not speak, and Yan Qingwei did not speak.
The two of them read the book for a while, and then went to sleep when it was night.
When Gu Li got up the next morning, Yan got up early in the morning, and made breakfast for her, which was already on the table.
Later, she had to go to the Fairy Grass Hall, so she didn't wait for him, and ate first.
When she was leaving, she saw Yan Qing building a small but delicate stove with stones in the yard, and there were some fresh and delicate wild vegetables next to this stove.
Gu Li was surprised, what was he doing?
Yan Qing saw her coming, and asked in surprise, "You want to go out?" β
"Hmm", Gu Li promised, "I didn't go to the Immortal Grass Hall yesterday, and I can't stop going today." β
Yan Qing smiled slightly and sighed softly: "But there are guests coming today." β
"What guest? Your guest or mine? Gu Li was puzzled in his heart, and asked along with his words.
"Yours." Yan Qing looked at her and replied.
Gu Li laughed: "What are you kidding?" β
If she has a guest coming, can she not know? Moreover, she didn't know a few people here at all, and who guest could come to her?
Yan Qing didn't explain, and continued to build on the stove.
Gu Li looked at the semi-finished products under his hand, then at the wild vegetables, and asked with a smile: "So you make these, which are specially prepared for guests?" β
"Hmm." Yan Qing responded.
Gu Li chuckled and said; "If any guests do come to me, you can entertain me."
As she said this, she turned and headed for the gate.
She just said casually according to his meaning, and she didn't believe that any guests would come to her.
Yan Qing looked at her back and replied, "Okay." β
Gu Li couldn't help but laugh again, if there were really guests coming, he was going to take these wild vegetables to entertain others?
After he left, Yan Qing focused on what he was doing, and after a while, he set up a simple and delicate stove.
At the end of the day, he watered the bean seedlings in the yard that were not very good.
This bean seedling was planted by the owner of this house, and later the house was rented by Gu Li, and the owner of the house did not pull out these bean seedlings.
It's just that the two of them haven't taken care of these bean seedlings much, he didn't care, Gu Li didn't, so they grew sparsely, and they weren't very good.
After pouring the water, Yan Qing put a copper pot on the stove that had just been built, and the pot boiled water. Next to this stove, there is also a small and simple tea stove, on which tea is boiling.
After the tea was boiled, Yan Qing poured himself a cup and took a sip gently.
He looked at the sky, took the teacup again, walked to the bluestone under the plane tree and sat down, and tasted the tea carefully.
At this time, the guest should have arrived.
After a few moments, he heard a knock on the door.
Yan Qing put down the teacup in his hand and walked in the direction of the gate.
The door was opened, and standing in the doorway was a man of not very old age, holding two brocade boxes in his hands.
Yan Qing recognized him and knew that he was Zhang Xuechu, the guest he had been waiting for. It's just that Zhang Xuechu doesn't know him.
Yan Qing looked at him with a soft face, and listened to him ask, "Excuse me, is this Miss Gu Li's home?" β
Yan Qing nodded: "Exactly." β
"Then you areβ" Zhang Xuechu frowned slightly and looked at him, asking about his identity.
Yan Qing smiled slightly; "I'm Ali's brother."
Zhang Xuechu was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly bowed to him and thanked him, with a sincere face: "Thank you Gongzi for saving the child's life, great kindness, unforgettable!" β
Yan Qing replied with a smile: "Master Zhang is polite, it's just hard work, it's really not enough to worry about." β
Zhang Xuechu shook his head: "For the son, it may be just a gesture, but for my whole family, it is a great kindness." β
"So I came today to express my gratitude to Gongzi and Miss Gu." Zhang Xuechu sent the brocade box in his hand to Yan Qing; "It's just a small courtesy, it's not a tribute, and I ask the son to accept it."
"Master Zhang is so polite."
Yan Qing hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, then I'll take it." β
He took the things from Zhang Xuechu's hand and asked him to say, "Master Zhang, please come in and sit down and have a cup of tea." β
"Okay, I'm sorry." Zhang Xuechu replied and followed him inside.
