Yan Muning slept for quite a long time this time, and when he woke up, it was already bright.
He was still a little half-conscious when he just woke up. He squinted his eyes in a daze, staring at the sunlight shining on the bed curtains, and was confused for a while.
After being stunned for a while, Yan Muning sniffed, and his stomach growled in a particularly appropriate way…
By the way, he seemed to be awakened by the fragrance squeezing in from the crack of the door!
He had too many things on his mind before, and he was always nervous. In the past few days, he has been rushing, running, and fighting and didn’t feel hungry.
Now it’s different. After relaxing a little, he is so hungry!
However, after another night, the injuries on his body felt even more painful for some reason.
The coquettish little prince lay on his back on the bed, the rich aroma of food wafting in waves, as if deliberately lingering around his nose.
Just as he was struggling internally over whether he should get up and go find food or just endure the hunger and continue lying down, he heard a slight knock on the door.
Yan Muning felt that he had never been so excited as he was now.
He raised his hand to pull open the bed curtains, then turned to look at the person at the door. Yun Jiangli seemed to have not expected that he was awake and was suddenly startled by his hungry wolf-like gaze.
Yun Jiangli’s slight pause made Yan Muning regain his senses and calm down instantly.
Yes, this is not his home, and he cannot trust the person in front of him wholeheartedly either.
Especially for things that are to be eaten…
He really dared not eat it!
But I’m really hungry, what should I do?
The more the little prince thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
Yun Jiangli couldn’t guess what the youth was thinking. He watched as those big eyes slowly changed from excitement to disappointment and helplessness. His fingers that were holding onto the door frame tightened unconsciously.
Then he walked to the bed with the medicine bowl in his hand, and after folding the bed curtains, he naturally pinched Yan Muning’s wrists, which were folded on the quilt, and said while taking his pulse, “Now that you are awake, drink the medicine first. I have prepared some food, get up and take some.”
Yan Muning blinked and nodded in agreement.
His eyes darted back and forth to glance at the medicine bowl on the table beside the bed, he quickly thought about what to do in his mind.
Fortunately, after Yun Jiangli took his pulse, he didn’t seem to intend to watch him drink the medicine. He just got up and left the room.
As soon as Yun Jiangli walked out the door, Yan Muning climbed up from the bed, holding the medicine bowl, tiptoed to the window, and began to water the pot of plant beside the window.
It was not until he returned to the bed and sat down with a guilty conscience that he discovered that his short blade was lying right next to the pillow.
He was shocked. When was this placed here?
Why did he suddenly return the dagger to him?
Yan Muning held the short blade, frowned, and felt very nervous.
The fact that Yun Jiangli had entered the room and placed something next to his pillow without him noticing at all made him feel a little scared.
While he secretly hid the dagger in a place where he could easily reach it, he thought to himself that from tonight on, he must not sleep so deeply.
Just as he hid the dagger, he heard Yun Jiangli knocking on the door.
Then he pushed the door open and carefully brought breakfast into the room.
“You are injured, and I am worried that it will be inconvenient for you.”
Yun Jiangli explained calmly.
The aroma of food, which had originally been separated from the door, now filled his face from a close distance.
Yan Muning swallowed unconsciously and secretly raised his eyes to look at the person who was setting the table.
The big beauty really seemed to have no ill will towards him at all.
The little prince with a growling stomach tried to convince himself.
He’s already saved him, it seems absurd that he’s harming him now.
Although he doesn’t know if the big beauty has other intentions, such as… coveted by his beauty or something…
Thinking of this, Yan Muning coughed violently. When it comes to beauty, it seems that the beauty has more capital than himself?
But as long as he doesn’t want to kill him, he should be safe for now.
What’s more, he has got his short blade back. Looking at the delicate and frail figure of the big beauty, he will definitely not be able to beat him!
Besides, if it’s just a meal, he can just carefully observe what the big beauty eats. That way it will be safe, right?
Finally succeeding in convincing himself, Yan Muning slowly moved himself from the bed to the stool next to the table.
The agility with which he had secretly poured the medicine just now was gone, and now he was grimacing in pain after taking just a few steps.
Even though the wounds on his body were so painful, but it did not delay his little calculation in his mind at all. In just two steps, he decided to find an opportunity to test the beauty—
“Physician Jiang… don’t you need to see patients on weekdays?” Yan Muning bit the tip of his chopsticks and spoke vaguely.
Yun Jiangli still had that cold look on his face. He just hummed and showed no intention of explaining.
Yan Muning was choked for a moment, but he continued to ask, “Where is Physician Jiang from? Judging from your accent, you don’t sound like you’re from Jinzhou ah.”
“Yicheng.”
Yan Muning waited eagerly for Yun Jiangli to say something else, but he just said these two words and continued to drink his porridge slowly.
Yan Muning: “……”
This person is trying to make him talk to death ah.
The little prince was unhappy and pursed his lips, not noticing that the person opposite him glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
Yun Jiangli remained expressionless. He didn’t know what this little kitten was thinking. How could he test him so blatantly?
He thought it was funny and didn’t want to expose him.
After Yan Muning gave up asking tricks, he kept his eyes fixed on Yun Jiangli’s chopsticks.
He would eat whatever Yun Jiangli ate, and he would never touch anything Yun Jiangli didn’t want to touch.
Yan Muning remained vigilant for a few days, quietly recuperating during the day, but he no longer dared to sleep as soundly as before at night, always staying somewhat awake.
He tried to trick him many times, but to no avail. The only thing he discovered was that the big beauty was not only good-looking but also an excellent cook. His food was even better than the one cooked by the chef in his own house.
But in this way, Yan Muning was even more confused about Yun Jiangli’s purpose in saving him.
These days, in addition to taking care of an extra patient, Yun Jiangli still quietly reads medical books, grinds some herbs, or makes some pills every day.
For the youth who he took home…
Yun Jiangli raised his head from the desk and looked at the closed door.
This youth seemed to be much more interesting than he had imagined. Although he was wary of him, he was still cautious and tested him secretly like some kind of small animal.
If he was slightly frightened by him, he would immediately shrink back, feeling horrified and aggrieved.
He lowered his head and continued to concentrate on the book in his hand, but the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.
He even began to feel a little curious and expectant about what weird questions this youth would come up with next time.
It was not until a few days later that Yun Jiangli vaguely realized that something was wrong.
Not only did Yan Muning’s condition not improve, but today he even showed signs of fever.
It is normal for the youth to have a fever given his serious injuries, but the problem is the timing of the fever.
That afternoon, when changing the bandage, Yun Jiangli carefully checked the wound. It still looked shockingly horrible. Was it a problem with the medication?
The slightly cool fingertips rested on the youth’s pale and thin wrist. He frowned slightly, and his eyes swept around the room, finally stopping on the potted plant with wilted leaves by the window.
Yan Muning was a little dazed from fever, and when he saw Yun Jiangli get up and walk to the window, he didn’t react at all.
Yun Jiangli leaned down slightly and looked at the potted plant. He gently twirled the wilted leaves with his long and clean fingers and then went up to smell it. Then his whole aura cooled down.
After getting up, the man with a cold face glanced at the fragile injured person lying on the bed, turned around and left the room without saying a word, and soon returned to the room with a bowl of medicine.
He stood beside the bed holding a bowl of medicine, looking down at Yan Muning’s cheeks, which were abnormally red due to the fever.
The moment he opened his mouth, the temperature was even colder than the coldest month of winter: “You made me think that my medical skills were not good enough.”
Yan Muning heard the anger hidden beneath Yun Jiangli’s cold appearance and belatedly understood the meaning of his words.
Holding up his red eyelids, he raised his eyes and saw that the man in front of him had a face that was even colder than his voice, and he shuddered unconsciously.
So, so scary!
“I…”
He spoke hoarsely, and was thinking about how to defend himself, then he saw Yun Jiangli bring the medicine bowl to his lips, take a sip, and pass it over again—
“Is it alright now? It’s not poisoned, drink the medicine.”
Yan Muning’s eyes were filled with shock, he actually guessed it!
The words he wanted to explain were swallowed back into his mouth.
He sat up with difficulty by supporting himself on the bed, took the medicine bowl with his head down, and drank carefully from the place where Yun Jiangli’s lips had just touched.
This time, Yun Jiangli’s eyes never left him. It was hard to describe how he felt when he’s being so wary of him.
He is always aloof and indifferent to others. Almost nothing can arouse his emotions.
But when he saw the person who looked cautious in front of him at this moment, he felt as if there was a lump in his chest.
This is not a kitten at all, it’s clearly a wolf with white eyes!
Yun Jiangli was so angry that his whole body became even colder, and his hands hidden under his wide sleeves clenched into fists.
Yan Muning, whose brows were furrowed by the bitterness of the medicine, was drinking it when he suddenly felt that the room was a little cold.
He raised his innocent eyes, looked at the big beauty standing beside him with tears in his eyes, and immediately confessed his mistake.
He tilted his head back and drank the medicine neatly.
In fact, after spending the past few days with him, although he still couldn’t completely trust this big beauty with a cold face, but he had gradually begun to let down his guard.
The big beauty had a cold expression on his face, but he was extremely gentle when he changed the bandage for him.
The big beauty is quiet, but his mind is more meticulous than the nanny who has taken care of him since he was a child.
The big beauty’s medical skills are comparable to those of the Imperial Medical, and his cooking skills far surpass those of the Imperial Kitchen…
Yan Muning always remembered what Yun Jiangli said that day: a physician’s only job is to save the dying and heal the wounded.
But now, every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was the bloody scene of being hunted by assassins in the past few days.
He was really scared.
He didn’t know if it was because of the fever that made him dizzy or if the medicine he drank had a calming effect.
Yan Muning was still half-sitting against the head of the bed, counting the big beauty’s advantages in his mind, but his eyelids were already beginning to twitch.
In a daze, he saw the big beauty coming over, holding his shoulders, and gently laying him flat on the bed.
Maybe it was because his brain was burning with fever, but with his vision blurred, he stretched out two fingers to hook onto Yun Jiangli’s sleeve and his lips moved slightly.
“Don’t be… angry anymore…”
The author has something to say:
The Little Prince: He is so fierce when he is angry! I want to be more fierce than him! Awooo.
