Chapter 123
After resting in his room for a while, Ning Yue hurried back to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the war dragon, busy and unaware that it was already twilight, Ning Yue carried the tray with fragrant food, came to the door of the war dragon's room with joy, and knocked on the door gently.
"Please come in." Immediately, the deep voice of the war dragon came from the room.
Hearing this, Ning Yue examined the food on the tray again, and then cautiously pushed open the door and walked in slowly.
"There's Miss Launing." Seeing Ning Yue's figure reflected on the curtain tent, Zhan Long couldn't help but feel melancholy, but he was as arrogant as he couldn't allow himself to reveal his thoughts to others again and again, so he settled down and said in a casual tone.
Hearing the alienation in Zhan Long's words, Ning Yue's heart was as miserable as being pricked by a needle. After she silently put the food on the table one by one, she whispered: "The big boss uses it slowly, and I will bring you medicine later." And he departed in despair.
When she returned, the table was full of people. It turned out that through the ventilation report from his subordinates, Shen Yidao learned that Zhan Long had fallen in front of the door, and immediately brought a few henchmen to visit with a nervous heart. Shen Yidao was very happy to see that he had finally changed his mind, and hurriedly ordered someone to go to Deyue Tower, the most famous restaurant in the city, to buy delicious food for Zhan Long, and when it was time to eat, he also called a few helmsmen to accompany him, in order to make Zhan Long eat comfortably.
"Miss Ning, it's just in time, hurry up and sit down and taste it, these are the signature dishes of Deyue Tower, they taste good." After speaking, Shen Yidao glanced at the person beside him, and the person quickly got up and gave up his seat.
I wanted to accept Shen Yidao's good intentions, but I found that the dishes I made on the table had not been moved, while the other dishes had been eaten, and even more, the war dragon sitting on the main seat had a light smile on his face when he saw him, and became expressionless, Ning Yue had no choice but to shake his head sadly, and politely refused Shen Yidao's hospitality. Now that the lights in the room are bright, the brocade clothes and jade food in front of her are extraordinarily dazzling, and Ning Yue suddenly realized. I was so stupid that I didn't realize until this moment that the big boss and I had never been the same people...... He is the overlord of one side, and I am just a little girl, what he said in the past was just a few jokes, but I have always been obsessed with it, it is really ridiculous...... Naturally, the food I cook is not rare, and the next food is even more so...... Looking at the freshly boiled medicine in her hand, Ning Yue's heart was full of sourness.
Shen Yidao noticed that Ning Yue's expression was different, and saw that the war dragon deliberately turned his head away from looking at Ning Yue, but he felt puzzled. Could it be that this stubborn stone nodded not because of Miss Ning's work?
Seeing Shen Yidao's solemn expression, everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks one after another, holding their breath, and for a while, the room was silent.
Just when everyone was restless and at a loss, the young man who had drugged the war dragon had the courage to propose: "Miss Ning is here to deliver medicine to the big boss, or let's retreat first, so as not to disturb the big boss taking the medicine." ”
As soon as they heard that there was a chance to get out, everyone wanted to respond, but Shen Yidao didn't speak, and they didn't dare to move.
"To put it mildly, then the war dragon will bother Miss Ning to take care of it." As soon as Shen Yidao's words fell, everyone rushed to say goodbye to the war dragon. Looking at the backs of everyone fleeing in the wilderness, Shen Yidao showed a look of disdain. If it weren't for the fact that they were so jealous of the war dragon, which fueled his untouchable arrogance, how could he be so unapproachable now? It's rare that he likes Miss Ning, a good woman who values love and righteousness, is well-behaved and virtuous, and he must not let him act arbitrarily and scare people away. Thinking of this, Shen Yidao stood up unhurriedly, took the medicine bowl from Ning Yue's hand, forcibly stuffed it into Zhan Long's hand, and glared at him with a threatening gaze before waving his sleeves away.
Ning Yue was taken aback by Shen Yidao's sudden move, and as soon as she didn't pay attention, her eyes followed the transfer of the medicine bowl and fell on the war dragon. It was completely different from what Ning Yue had seen in the afternoon, only to see the war dragon in a brocade jacket sitting peacefully on the rosewood Taishi chair, his feet covered with a blanket embroidered with gold threads, his long hair tied up neatly and neatly, and his handsome face added a bit of tranquility under the gentle candlelight. At this time, the war dragon looked more like a weak and sickly rich young master who was pampered, rather than a frustrated cottage boss.
"I've drunk the medicine, Miss Ning, please go back." After frowning and drinking the medicine in his hand, the war dragon said in a low voice.
Hearing the voice of the war dragon, Ning Yue came back to his senses and said, "There are also external medicines, please wait for a while, big boss." ”
After a while, Ning Yue returned to the room with a wooden basin containing a black medicinal liquid. After she placed it at the feet of the war dragon, she crouched down and took out her handkerchief, ready to wipe the war dragon's feet like she did yesterday.
But the war dragon was unwilling to let her look at her withered feet again. "Miss Launing." After speaking, the war dragon stretched out his hand to snatch the handkerchief soaked in the basin, but unexpectedly, the medicinal liquid inside was actually as hot as a fire, making him involuntarily quickly withdraw his hand from it.
"I'll use this medicine when it's cold, Miss Ning's hands shouldn't be wet, so let's go back and rest early." The war dragon looked at the brown handkerchief floating on the liquid medicine, and said helplessly.
"The medicine is good to use while it is hot, the big boss quickly dip your feet in the basin, and I will rub the medicine for you." Ning Yue took the handkerchief stained with the liquid in her hand and said casually.
Seeing this, Zhan Long was puzzled, could it be because of my injury, so I couldn't touch this medicine? He looked at Ning Yue and asked, "Isn't it hot?" ”
"Don't burn ......" Sensing that the war dragon was staring at him with a sharp gaze, Ning Yue couldn't help but be a little timid, and her answer was extremely vague.
The war dragon general suspiciously pulled up Ning Yue's previously injured hand and took a closer look, and found that her hand was not only burned red, but also had patches of bruises and purple ecchymoses on it. Ning Yue wanted to cover it with her sleeves, but it was too late, and the tragic condition of her hands had already been clearly seen by the war dragon. Her heart was in a mess, so she couldn't think of a defense, so she had to squat silently in place, resigned to fate. Why didn't I notice her hand like this...... She once said that she should study the art of embroidery, but what if she could no longer hold the needle and thread? For me, is it worth it? Enough, enough she did for me...... From then on, we owe each other...... Let her go......
"Let's go." The war dragon let go of Ning Yue's hand, and his lowered eyes were dark and dull, like a bottomless abyss.
Ning Yue didn't dare to disobey him, and after whispering a word, she walked out of the room with tears in her eyes.
