Chapter 175: Awakening
Qin Fang was also getting anxious, but she didn't hold back when she spoke to Ji Meiqing.
"I know my sister probably thinks I have feelings for Brother Lu, but as a doctor, my concern for patients is simply to hope that they recover as soon as possible."
Her words sounded quite genuine, and Ji Meiqing watched her act with cold eyes. She glanced towards the door, but in her heart, she was wondering when he would come out.
Looking at Qin Fang, who was baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, he grew increasingly impatient, and his expression towards Qin Fang became more and more unfriendly.
Just as things were about to explode, the door finally opened. Lu Yu frowned, not looking at anyone, and said coldly, "So noisy."
"Brother Lu." She quickly stepped aside and looked at Lu Yu behind her.
Ji Meiqing looked at him, raised an eyebrow, and asked in a slightly light tone, "Are your injuries better?"
"That's about enough." Lu Yu's expression softened, and he looked at Qin Fang again. "Does the young lady want to watch us, husband and wife, be all lovey-dovey?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Fang's face immediately turned ugly.
"Don't say that. After all, she's a naive young girl who doesn't understand the ways of the world. It's good for her to observe more."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fang's expression immediately fell.
"It's cold outside, let's go inside." Ji Meiqing walked towards him, and Lu Yu helped her inside. The two walked to the table, and he poured her a glass of water. Then he noticed Qin Fang still standing outside and was somewhat surprised.
"Would Miss Qin like to come in for a glass of water?"
"No, my father is waiting for me." She left with a displeased look.
"Wait a minute." Ji Meiqing called out to her again, and after watching her turn around, she pointed to the door and smiled, "Please close the door."
Qin Fang just stared at her like that, and in the end, she could only close the door.
Looking at Lu Yu again, she immediately stood up from her chair with a blank expression and said sarcastically, "With such a beauty by your side, you're quite the lucky one. I'm not needed here anymore, so I'll head back now."
Lu Yu immediately became anxious and blocked her path with a smile, saying, "My greatest blessing is meeting you."
"Oh." She continued walking outside. "Your injuries are almost healed. I'll go back and check on you first."
"Then when will you come back?"
"I came back after taking care of things."
Lu Yu was somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing his expression, Ji Meiqing couldn't help but laugh and say, "You're lucky to have such a beautiful woman by your side. Besides, you're almost fully recovered, so it won't matter if I'm not by your side."
"Beauty and death are both illusions."
"What about me?" She glanced at Lu Yu, somewhat unwilling to accept his answer.
"Even the most beautiful skeletons are the most beautiful skeletons."
These flattering words cheered Ji Meiqing up a little. "I'll go back and get some clean clothes. You rest here. I'll be back tonight."
"I'm waiting for you."
She packed her clothes, then put on her straw hat and left. Lu Yu sat at the table, his throat itchy and uncomfortable. He had been holding it in and it hadn't flared up yet, but now it was getting worse.
After coughing twice, he went back to bed and continued to lie down.
The door opened again, and the room became slightly chilly. A sweet fragrance wafted in, tempting one's appetite.
Lu Yu was still wondering when the person arrived; it was Qin Fang, who had just left. At this moment, there was no trace of resentment on her face. She walked over carrying a bowl of Sichuan fritillary bulb and loquat juice, looking rather serious.
Lu Yu didn't look closely and simply turned his head to the side.
“Father said that Young Master Lu’s throat might be a little inflamed, so he asked me to bring these. Young Master Lu will feel better after drinking them.”
"Thank you." He coughed twice more, but instead of taking it, he said, "Put it aside."
"If you drink it earlier, it will still be effective. If it gets cold, the medicine won't be as effective as before."
"I understand." He still didn't make a move, which made Qin Fang anxious. She was anxious inside, but her face remained expressionless.
After hesitating for a while, he finally had to leave. Lu Yu couldn't figure out what to do, so he could only let him be.
She left, feeling slightly agitated. She couldn't find a way to get his attention.
As for Ji Meiqing, as soon as she returned home, Granny Mei came over with a letter in her hand.
She glanced at it, and, puzzled, unwrapped the letter. "What is this?"
"This was sent by Miss Rouge through someone; she said it was for you."
She opened it and saw that it only said: Is everything alright?
Ji Meiqing took it back and said calmly, "I already know. You can go ahead and get back to work."
"Yes." Granny Mei took the dirty clothes she had brought back and left, leaving Ji Meiqing alone to reopen the letter.
After thinking for a moment, he wrote a reply on another piece of paper.
After finishing writing, she put it aside to dry and then went to attend to her own business. When Ji Tianci heard that she had returned, he ran over excitedly, but he didn't dare to come in at the door, and just hid at the door to watch her.
She only saw Ji Tianci when she finished her work and came out.
"what happened to you?"
Ji Meiqing didn't seem to care about his mood and asked him casually. He followed behind with his head down, not saying a word.
He followed silently, which puzzled Ji Meiqing. "What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
"No."
"Your brother-in-law and I will be back in a few days. What's the matter? Let's talk about it now, or we can discuss it together when we get back."
Ji Tianci hesitated for a while before agreeing to her suggestion, and then watched helplessly as his older sister abandoned him to go find another man.
I feel a little blocked in my heart.
The letter was entrusted to a little beggar on the street to be delivered, and then she returned to the clinic. As soon as she entered, she saw Lu Yu staring blankly, and her wicked thoughts were ruthlessly extinguished.
"You're back."
She walked over and, seeing the sweet soup next to her, couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's this? Why aren't you drinking it?"
"This was just brought by Miss Qin, I don't want to drink it."
Ji Meiqing asked about it and found that it had the medicinal smell of fritillaria cirrhosa and the fragrance of loquat. It was a pity that it was already cold, and she was afraid that drinking it would not have much effect.
"I'll go see if there's any left." She picked it up and was about to leave. Lu Yu looked at her, then sat up again and leaned back against the cushion.
She went to the kitchen and brought over a few more dishes for Lu Yu, then put the dishes in their proper places.
The room was filled with an enigmatic calm; the two remained silent, exchanging not a single word.
Ji Meiqing suddenly remembered that she had just recaptured a mountain stronghold, but hadn't had a chance to tell him yet. She then recounted the story, omitting the details.
