Xu Mingyi walked towards the stove, reached out and took out a hot steamed bun. The bun was very hot. She switched from her right hand to her left hand, blew on it again, then lowered her head and took a bite.
The new steamed buns that had just come out of the pan were white and soft, with distinct layers of elasticity, and a hint of wheat aroma and sweetness in the mouth - it had been a long time since she had eaten steamed buns steamed by Divine Doctor Qiu.
Seeing that she was so casual and not like those serious ladies, Doctor Qiu couldn't help but feel a little funny.
However, when he turned around to look, he saw the girl holding the steamed buns with slightly red eyes and tears that had not completely dissipated in her eyes.
Doctor Qiu couldn't help but be stunned.
"Why are you still crying?"
It can’t be because the steamed buns are so delicious—so delicious that they make you cry?
Xu Mingyi swallowed the steamed buns he was chewing bit by bit, then raised his head and said, "Because I can't bear to leave you."
When Qin Wu heard this, he started to light the fire.
What has the girl been talking about all day?
——If it weren't for the fact that Doctor Qiu was really too old, and his appearance was not comparable to his handsomeness, he would really feel that his girl was showing mercy.
Doctor Qiu sneered.
"You and I have only known each other for a few days, and now you are reluctant to let go?"
In his opinion, it was a lie that he couldn't bear to leave him, but it was true that he still cared about him - saying that he couldn't bear to leave him, he was afraid that he was reminding him of something.
However, he didn't dislike this girl's petty thoughts.
"This pot will simmer for another half-quarter of an hour and the heat will stop."
After Doctor Qiu had an explanation with Qin Wu, he turned around and took off his apron, cleaned his hands, and said to Xu Mingyi: "Follow me -"
Xu Mingyi had already eaten the steamed bun completely. He just nodded in agreement. After washing his hands, he followed Dr. Qiu out of the kitchen.
Looking at his girl's leaving figure, Qin Wu suddenly felt a little confused - why did he continue to stay here and fuss?
Oh, I remembered it - it was because when he was boxing in the backyard early in the morning, he was seen by Doctor Qiu who got up early to cook. Not to mention his skills, he must be a good hand at making fires.
What is the relationship between being good at martial arts and being good at making fire?
He said that he had never made a fire before, and the other party encouraged him by asking - how will you know if you are not good at it if you don't try?
So he came to try it.
——Has he been deceived and taken advantage of?
Empress Qin Wu frowned in realization, and subconsciously dropped the fire stick in her hand. She wanted to get up, put down her picks, and leave. However, smelling the aroma of stewed meat in her nose, she hesitated for a moment and sat back down again.
Xu Mingyi came to the guest room where Divine Doctor Qiu lived.
She didn't see anyone outside, entered the room, sat down at the table, and poured herself a glass of warm water to drink.
Doctor Qiu dug out something wrapped in old blue cloth from a locked box, walked to the table and handed it over: "Here, here it is for you."
"I don't want it." Xu Mingyi put down the tea cup and said.
Doctor Qiu looked at her strangely: "Do you know what it is? You don't even look at it and you say no?"
"I guessed it, of course it's your special skill."
Hearing this, Divine Doctor Qiu frowned and let out a slight hiss, his eyes becoming increasingly puzzled——
Isn’t this what she was planning?!
Why do you say no now? Are you willing to refuse but still welcome? - It’s not necessary!
Could it be that... you don't like it?
Thinking about the medical skills shown repeatedly by the girl in front of him, Doctor Qiu suddenly felt that it was very possible.
However, it is inconvenient to directly ask someone about this kind of despised word because of face.
He could only ask again: "Really?"
Xu Mingyi smiled.
"You have given me enough."
She dared to say that she had already learned at least half of the things in this medical book.
"What did I give you?" Doctor Qiu was puzzled - this little girl talks really evil!
"It puts me in a good mood." Xu Mingyi said with a smile, "Especially because I got to eat the food you cooked by yourself."
Doctor Qiu just wanted to frown.
Put her in a good mood?
Why do you make it sound like he's done with pleasing little girls?
Then I heard the girl sitting there say: "I have paid for the rent here for you and Miss Qiu for a whole month, and I have explained it to the shopkeeper. I will not tell anyone about your origins."
——This month, you will accompany Cai'er here and concentrate on the treatment. When the disease is cured, it will not be too late to leave Ningyang after the new year."
Doctor Qiu couldn't help but be stunned.
Did you pay him the rent?
And it’s still a whole month!
It's not cheap here... He originally planned to move out after staying there for two days!
"No reward for no merit, get out of here!" Doctor Qiu urged seriously.
"There's no turning back from this - it's the coldest time in the twelfth lunar month, so you can just make ends meet, but Miss Qiu is recuperating now. Wouldn't it be a lot of work to move here and there?"
Facing those eyes with a slight smile, Doctor Qiu was silent for a moment.
Only at this moment did he finally understand that he had been wrong before.
This little girl was not trying to heal Cai'er because of his so-called unique skills.
But it was nothing more than a benefit. He was giving away prescriptions and arranging accommodation for the father and daughter - could he have bumped into a living Bodhisattva?
"You don't have to feel uneasy." Xu Ming knew his temper and said half-jokingly: "Maybe you saved my life in my previous life, and it's me who will repay you in this life."
From the time she was very young, her grandfather often told her that while people are alive and still capable, they must not be stingy in repaying and giving to people who have helped them and treat them sincerely.
Whether it's saying nice things or doing something within your power.
But in her last life, she was far from good enough, especially when it came to saying nice things - she was too harsh and hurt many people's hearts, such as her mother and Mingshi.
Therefore, now she often says whatever comes to her mind and is no longer stingy in expressing her feelings.
"What kind of mysterious things are you talking about..."
Doctor Qiu was almost amused by her, and sat down at the table, but still insisted on handing over the medical book, and his tone was gentler than usual: "I don't care what you think, but what I say will definitely come out.
You have to cash it in - even if you really don't need it and throw it away later, you still have to accept it from me today."
Although Cai'er's illness has not been truly cured, before this prescription, this Miss Xu had already saved Cai'er's life.
Therefore, he gave away this medical book willingly.
Seeing his persistence, Xu Mingyi said no more and took it over, saying: "Thank you uncle, I will make good use of it."
Those who should be used to save people are used to save people, and those who should be used to kill are used to kill -
Seeing her accept it, Divine Doctor Qiu felt much better.
As for whether she would make good use of it, he didn't care at all.
"Right——"
Just when Divine Doctor Qiu was about to ask something, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the guest room door from outside.
"Come in."
"Father, Miss Xu."
Qiu Caier walked in with the help of a maid and sat down next to Xu Mingyi.
