“Well, it’s better than your Brother Gu Sheng’s, right?” Someone was still ignorant and looked as arrogant as ever.
Nan Zhi really did not want to shock him.
“It’s so delicious that you can’t speak?” Mu Sihan looked down at Nan Zhi’s fair and exquisite little face. “Eat more.”
Nan Zhi was suspicious that he was jealous of her hugging Gu Sheng and was taking revenge on her!
Nan Zhi ate half of the bowl under his expectant eyes. She put down her chopsticks and said, “I’m full.”
‘A woman’s stomach is indeed the size of an egg.” Seeming to have thought of something, Mu Sihan looked at Nan Zhi darkly. “Did you eat Gu Sheng’s food?”
“No, I have to be in front of the camera for work so I can’t eat that much.”
A faint smile appeared on Mu Sihan’s well-defined face and he picked up the chopsticks and knocked Nan Zhi’s head with the top of it. “You still know your place.”
Nan Zhi sighed inwardly. It was really difficult to deal with a jealous man!
Mu Sihan picked up the bowl of noodles Nan Zhi had not finished eating. When Nan Zhi saw this, she quickly stopped him. “Don’t eat it, I’ve eaten it!”
Mu Sihan looked down at Nan Zhi and found that her expression was unnatural. He laughed. “I don’t mind.” After saying that, he lowered his head to eat a bite.
He had hardly taken it into his mouth when he almost spat it out.
But when he thought that Nan Zhi did not spit it out, he could only swallow it down.
After eating, he scolded in a low voice, “It’s so salty and you said it was delicious?”
Nan Zhi smiled stiffly. “If it’s made by you, it tastes good whether it’s salty or not.”
Mu Sihan’s expression darkened and he looked at her with a cold gaze. “Don’t flirt with me.” Then, he ate another few mouthfuls of noodles again, pushing down the desire rising up from his body.
His noodles really were not edible at all.
Although his cooking skills were not that good previously, the noodles he cooked was at least edible.
After returning to the Ye family, he had never entered the kitchen again, and now the noodles that he was confident in…
His expression turned dark when he thought of how Gu Sheng was a good cook.
Nan Zhi saw that he was going to be angry again and she quickly changed the topic. “Do you think that Miss Ling’er likes Brother Gu Sheng?”
Mu Sihan knocked Nan Zhi’s head again with the top of the chopsticks. “You only realized it now?”
“Then would Miss Ling’er have been upset when I hugged Brother Gu Sheng?” Nan Zhi bit her lips and said quickly, “I have to explain to Miss Ling’er properly later.”
Mu Sihan looked at Nan Zhi with his dark eyes. “What’s the point of explaining to her? Your Brother Gu Sheng still has you in his heart.”
Nan Zhi was speechless.
Mu Sihan saw that Nan Zhi was silent and used the top of the chopsticks to lift her chin, his dark eyes narrowed dangerously. “Are you happy that there is a man who is so devoted to you?”
Nan Zhi looked up and smiled at him. “Aren’t you also devoted to me?”
“I told you not to flirt with me!”
Nan Zhi covered her mouth with her hands and said with her voice muffled, “Okay, then I won’t say anything.”
…
After Mu Sihan and Bai Ye went to the hot spring in the mountains to bathe, while Nan Zhi and Gu Sheng sat in the yard to talk.
Gu Sheng looked up at the stars in the night sky and said in a clear voice, “Have you really thought it over? If he becomes emotionless, he may turn into a ruthless person.”
Nan Zhi wrapped her hands around her knees and looked at Gu Sheng’s handsome and elegant side profile, a bitter smile on her lips. “Compared to him living with suffering, I would rather that he is emotionless.”
Nan Zhi sighed slightly. “Brother Gu Sheng, you and I both understand that nothing is more important than being alive.”
Gu Sheng looked from the starry sky to Nan Zhi and after hearing her words, he said nothing more.
But he understood that in this lifetime, she would never fall in love with anyone else except Mu Sihan.
Just as with his feelings for her, he could not love any other woman except her.
…
The next day.
Nan Zhi woke up before dawn. She turned and saw that Ling’er was still fast asleep. She then sat up lightly.
“Sister Nan, aren’t you going to sleep for a while more?”
Nan Zhi saw that Ling’er was awake and she said with embarrassment, “Did I wake you up?”
“No, I wake up this early everyday.” Ling’er smiled sweetly at Nan Zhi.
Nan Zhi looked at Ling’er’s smile and a smile also appeared on her face. “Ling’er, we have to do our best!”
“Yes, Sister Nan.”
…
After breakfast, Mu Sihan took the Calming Pill prepared for him by Old Mr Bai.
After eating the pill, he fell asleep.
Old Mr Bai asked the rest to leave, leaving only Nan Zhi who refused to go.
“You didn’t tell him the consequences of getting rid of the parasite?” After last night, Old Mr Bai could see that they were really in love. If the man knew that there was a price to be paid for removing the parasitic poison, he would not have taken the Calming Pill so easily.
Nan Zhi looked at Mu Sihan’s face which looked to be more bright and less fierce after he had fallen asleep, and she shook her head. “There is no need for him to know.” She felt a bitterness and fear in her heart, but nothing was more important than his health. She did not want him to experience the pain again when the parasitic poison acted up.
Old Mr Bai asked no more questions. He touched his white beard and took out a long syringe.
The syringe was filled with red medicine and Old Mr Bai injected it into Mu Sihan’s blood vessel. Then he took out a sealed porcelain cup, opened it and Nan Zhi saw a slender insect crawling inside.
Goosebumps appeared on Nan Zhi’s arms.
“The next process is not suitable for you to see. Turn around!” Old Mr Bai ordered.
Nan Zhi wanted to ask Old Mr Bai if there would be any mishap during the process but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
Since he was able to cure Brother Gu Sheng, he must also be able to cure Mu Sihan.
Nan Zhi turned around.
After nearly ten minutes, Old Mr Bai coughed. “It’s done.”
Nan Zhi turned around and saw that there was an extra blood-colored insect in the porcelain cup.
“He will probably be awake around this time tomorrow. After waking up, he needs to take a bath with the medicated water here for three days before the parasitic poison can be completely eradicated.”
…
Nan Zhi received a call from An Feng in the afternoon.
Xiaojie caught a cold and was having a fever, and kept calling her name.
After making sure that Mu Sihan would not have any problems, Nan Zhi let Yi Fan and Bai Ye stay while she planned to leave and return to the Capital.
Gu Sheng and Ling’er went with her to the pier.
“Brother Gu Sheng, what are your plans in the future?”
Gu Sheng faced the sky and his face looked like jade in the sunset.
Nan Zhi saw in his exquisite eyes peace and elegance from being detached from the world. “It’s good here, being away from the rest of the world and being carefree and content.”
Nan Zhi looked at Ling’er, who was picking flowers not far away and she smiled. “Brother Gu Sheng, Ling’er is a good girl. Cherish the people in front of you.”
