Yun Qiao followed Xi Lanting out of the wedding banquet hall.
The two people stood in the corridor at the door, and the light shone slantly, lengthening their shadows. Because of their different standing positions, although there was a considerable distance between them, their shadows seemed to be intertwined, making it indistinguishable.
Yun Qiao raised his eyes and looked at Xi Lanting: "Uncle Qi, you asked me to come out, is there something wrong?"
The light was a little dim, and her eyes were dyed blue, like a sea.
"It's very boring here, I have to leave first." Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao: "..."
Isn't your uncle too unreliable? When your nephew gets married, you have to walk him half way through?
"...Are you going to sit down or come with me?" Xi Lanting asked.
Yun Qiao: "I haven't eaten yet."
"The same goes for finding a place to eat. I'm leaving. Do you have a car to sit in when I go back?" Xi Lanting asked again.
Yun Qiao thought of the last time she was sent to take a rickshaw by Du Xiaoqin.
If I go back today, I'm afraid there won't be a seat for her again.
She hesitated: "What should we eat?"
"What do you want to eat?"
"I don't know, so I wanted to see if there was anything delicious at the wedding banquet." Yun Qiao said.
Xi Lanting: "Three meals a day are life-saving. You don't know about such an important matter? There is no cure."
Yun Qiao: "..."
"Since you like surprises, let me go. I will arrange it." Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao then nodded: "Okay."
In fact, she was still thinking that it would be a good choice to stay and see what delicious food there was.
However, Uncle Qi made up his mind to leave, and Yun Qiao guessed that it might have something to do with Miss Sheng.
Yun Qiao could feel Miss Sheng's sincerity; but Uncle Qi, who was heartless and tired of falling in love, probably wouldn't take her sincerity seriously.
The two got into the car, with Xi Zun still driving.
The car went to the hospital first.
Yun Qiao was slightly stunned.
Xi Zun turned his head and said, "Master Qi, I'm going to get the medicine. Please wait a moment."
Xi Lanting nodded.
Yun Qiao looked at him. In the dim light of dusk, his profile was delicate and motionless, like a lifeless white glaze vase.
Sometimes, when she looked at Uncle Qi, her eyes were filled with fog.
It was hard to figure out whether Uncle Qi was real or not. He suddenly left the table, and Yun Qiao thought he was really annoyed. Unexpectedly, he just got sick again.
She sighed softly.
A sigh seemed to disturb the air in the carriage, and Xi Lanting came back from his thoughts.
"Why are you sighing?" Xi Lanting asked her.
Yun Qiao: "I feel sorry for Uncle Qi, I need to take medicine again."
"It's not unpalatable." Xi Lanting said, "I like many good things from outside. For example, this Western medicine is easier to eat than the decoctions of our ancestors."
Yun Qiao: "..."
Taking pleasure in suffering does not have a special heart.
Xi Zun came out soon.
Also coming out together was doctor Li Hong.
This person is a sponsored student of the Xi family, and his goal in this life is not only to help the sick, but also to cure Master Qi.
He looked into the car and said to Master Qi: "You have to come down and do a check-up. The last meal I gave you was a month's supply. How come you finished it in just a few days?"
He was very anxious.
Xi Lanting looked calmly: "No need."
"Master Qi, you have to listen to the doctor!" Li Hong was anxious, "Taking medicine randomly will not do you any good. This medicine is easy to become addicted. Are you..."
Yun Qiao glanced at Xi Lanting.
Xi Lanting never got angry and allowed Li Hong to ramble on for a long time.
He listened, but his reaction did not change at all: "I know, let's talk about it later."
Li Hong: "..."
Dr. Li fed the dog out of kindness, but he was so angry that he forgot his words.
Xi Zun got into the car.
After the car drove out, Li Hong was still standing where he was.
Yun Qiao looked back and asked Uncle Qi: "You really don't want to do a check-up?"
"No need, I know it well." Xi Lanting poured out the medicine and started taking it.
Yun Qiao watched him eating the medicine like jelly beans and felt that he didn't count. As Li Hong said, he might be addicted to the medicine and would take it when he had nothing to do.
However, the doctor couldn't persuade him, so Yun Qiao didn't waste any time.
