When the cool breeze blew outside the open window, I woke up.
I dare not say that I have truly given up, but I have tried hard to get out of that circle.
Listening to the crow of chickens coming from the utility room, I went in with a broom and dustpan to clean, doing what I should do.
At half past five, I went downstairs to make dinner.
I boiled Lingxi's traditional Chinese medicine in advance and brought it to her.
"Master, I put the medicine on the bedside table." I pushed open the door of Lingxi's room and said calmly.
Lingxi was sitting at the desk by the window reading a book. When she heard my voice, she immediately came over and nodded: "Pei Chuan is back?"
"Well, he's just catching up on his sleep. He's done what you asked him to do." I said respectfully, "The candy after the medicine is in the drawer."
"Are you feeling better?" Lingxi stretched out his hand, as if planning to help me straighten my collar.
But just this familiar move, the closeness I once enjoyed so much, makes me feel like I'm facing a formidable enemy right now.
I unconsciously took a step back, avoiding Lingxi's movements, and smoothed down my collar. I smiled and said, "It's not a big deal in the first place. There's no reason to be grudged about it."
Lingxi's raised right hand was slightly stiff, and she looked at me quietly, her bright eyes like stars suddenly dimming.
"Well, it's okay. It's okay." She lowered her right hand and breathed out softly.
"Then you go about your business first. I'll call you when the meal is ready." I said.
Lingxi didn't answer. He drank up the concoction I put on the bedside table as if he was angry, turned back to the desk and said, "Don't call me for dinner. You and Pei Chuan can eat."
"Okay." I quietly left with the empty medicine bowl and closed the door in a low voice.
After thinking about it, I felt weird again, so I poked my head and reminded: "Master, the candies are in the drawer."
"I won't eat it. It's better if it's a bit bitter." Lingxi said.
I'm quite depressed. Isn't Lingxi afraid of suffering the most?
Why don't I frown even when I take medicine now?
Taking the empty bowl back to the kitchen, I cooked two dishes.
Because Lingxi doesn’t eat it, it’s a waste to burn too much and eat it all.
At around six o'clock, I put the food on the table and called Pei Chuan and asked him to go downstairs to eat.
Pei Chuan looked like he hadn't woken up. He yawned and sat across from me and said, "Hey, where is senior sister?"
"The master said she doesn't want to eat." I said while picking up the vegetables, "Can you send me to the city after dinner?"
"Is something wrong?" Pei Chuan picked up his chopsticks and said, "Senior sister said you should go out less often recently."
"I know, so I asked you to accompany me. Aren't you a direct disciple of Kunlun? As long as you are here, how can someone blatantly hurt me?" I said in excitement.
Pei Chuan picked up the food and said, "Well, it makes sense."
"Then it's settled." I grinned and said, "I won't bother you when I get my driver's license."
Pei Chuan rolled his eyes and said, "Why do I think your kid is acting weird today?"
"Really? You're overthinking." I took out my phone and sent a text message to Su Tongyuan, asking her whether she would be responsible for my living expenses after I came to Lingxi.
For example, last time in Ghost Street, Lingxi bought the purple and gold rooster comb from Ding Changyou for one million.
Also, I spent Lingxi’s money on eating and drinking here.
The day I first arrived, Lingxi said that Su Tongyuan would reimburse these expenses.
I don't know if it's true or not, I want to make sure.
After dinner, while I was washing the dishes in the kitchen, Su Tongyuan replied to my text message.
She said that she had given Lingxi a 20 million bank card before, which was enough for my daily expenses here and the money I needed to buy things to get rid of evil spirits.
But Lingxi didn't want it.
Among best friends, there was no way she could be so clear-cut with Lingxi.
And tell me not to worry about this. When the evil spirit in my body is truly resolved, she will definitely find a way to compensate Lingxi.
