Ruyi didn't usually get sick. It was rare for her to get sick, but she didn't get better.
She didn't have a fever anymore, but she kept coughing.
It wasn't the season for pears to ripen, and they weren't in Jing Kingdom or Ruyi City. Li Yi spent a lot of effort to find a few and made a honey pear for her.
Li Yi brought the honey pear in and said, "It's good for stopping coughs and reducing phlegm. Eat more. Don't forget to drink the rest of the soup. Don't waste it."
It was better to be a patient. There were people to take care of everything. If it wasn't for the fact that he was sick, Li Yi would like to get sick like this.
Miss.Liu ate a few slices of the pear. There were still a few left. She lay back on the bed and looked at Li Yi. She said, "I can't eat anymore. You can eat the rest. Don't waste it."
"I'm not eating," Li Yi said firmly.
Miss.Liu looked at him.
"Don't misunderstand. I'm not looking down on you." Li Yi looked at her and explained, "I'm just afraid that you'll infect me …"
…
Li Yi ate the few slices of pear in the end. Of course, it wasn't because he was worried that Ruyi would think that he was looking down on her and find a chance to take revenge in the future. He just didn't want to waste it. After all, it took a lot of effort to make this.
Li Yi put down the bowl and looked at her. He asked, "What do you want to eat today? I'll make it for you."
Miss.Liu thought for a moment and said, "Steamed fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, MIngzhu tofu, wolfberry yam …"
Li Yi counted with his fingers. There were eight dishes and one soup. He looked at Miss.Liu and asked, "Are you a pig?"
"Then make a bowl of noodles." Miss.Liu shook her head and said, "Add more vegetables."
Li Yi waved his hand. "Eight dishes and one soup. I haven't cooked for a long time. I'm afraid that I'm rusty. Let me try …"
He rolled up his sleeves and walked out. Soon, a sound came from outside the courtyard.
"Xiu'er, is the fish we bought yesterday still alive? If it's dead, ask Lin Yong to buy another one …"
"There's no more tofu. Don't forget to ask him to bring another piece when he comes back."
"And yam, buy the thin-skinned ones …"
…
Miss.Liu leaned on the bed and coughed a few times. She bent her legs and wrapped her arms around her knees. She looked out of the door in a daze.
In the courtyard, Xu looked at Chang De beside him and said, "Old Man Chang, why don't we make a bet on where Ruyi ranks?"
Chang De habitually cherished his words like gold.
Xu thought for a moment and said, "How about we make a bet? Between her and your princess, who will come first?"
Chang De looked at him and said, "Don't worry, if I see the Daoist nun, I will be lenient."
"Why are you saying this?" Xu glanced at him, then nodded and said, "I don't need you to be lenient. She's mine. You don't have to interfere in this matter."
"Okay," Chang De agreed without hesitation and turned to leave.
Xu was stunned. This old man usually liked to go against him. Why did he suddenly become so obedient this time? He was not used to it.
He stood up and looked at Elder Tian, who was standing not far behind him, and said, "Don't tell me this old man's personality has changed? Don't you think it's strange …"
"Whether he's changed or not, we'll talk about it later …" Elder Tian looked at him and said, "Explain to me first, who is yours?"
Li Yi was processing the fish in the kitchen. He looked back and saw that the courtyard was in chaos.
He deeply felt that to be able to marry a Grandmaster like Ruyi, who was as understanding and gentle as water, was a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes. Whoever married someone with a bad temper like Elder Tian would be beaten up every day.
Fortunately, there was no one with such a temper in his family. Ruyi was gentle with Wanru, and Ruoqing and Zui Mo never fought over anything. Xiao Huan was even less so. Although Wanru was a little domineering, it mostly manifested in business. She had not been idle these days either. She was busy evacuating many shops outside the capital region, and there were countless orders being sent out every day …
Only Ruyi was an anomaly. Li Yi swore to train hard. The days before she became a Grandmaster were his last chance …
Although Miss.Liu's recovery was slower, it was getting better every day.
This made Li Yi finally feel relieved. "Cold" was a very general concept here. Every year, there were countless people who lost their lives because of cold.
Fortunately, Ruyi had a good physique and a good figure. She could turn any situation into a blessing. After taking medicine for a few days, she was basically fine except for some coughing.
There was still no movement in Fengzhou City these days. After the few people sent by the Holy Religion did not return, they actually did not send anyone over. This made Li Yi extremely suspect that Taoist Nun had given up on this place.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. She did not come, and he could not force her to come …
Moreover, Taoist Nun was Xu's concern. It was good that he was concerned about her. These days, Li Yi's attention was on Ruyi, and he had no time to care about her.
Since Ruyi was sick, Li Yi noticed that she often began to daydream. She would maintain the same posture for a long time.
A cold would not make a person daydream.
Elder Tian said that she was tired and couldn't let go of the knot in her heart. Otherwise, she would not have suddenly fallen ill. A small cold took so long to deal with.
What knot could Ruyi have? She never talked about it, and Li Yi never knew.
Was it because she had seen too many grandmasters these days, and it stimulated her?
Li Yi did not know.
He brought a bowl of medicine into her room. This was the last bowl.
He actually saw Miss.Liu drinking, and there were a few side dishes on the table.
He put the bowl of medicine on the table and said with a sullen face, "You haven't recovered yet. Who allowed you to drink?"
"None of your business …" Miss.Liu originally wanted to say "none of your business", but when she saw his face, she swallowed the words. She said, "Elder Tian said … She said that my illness is no longer serious, and it's okay to drink some wine."
Li Yi sat down opposite her and snatched her wine jar. He weighed it in his hand and found that half of the wine was gone.
He glared at her angrily, raised his head, and drank the rest of the wine in the jar.
This was a good wine from the Provincial Governor's Mansion. After drinking so much at once, although she was not drunk, she was already a little dizzy.
Considering her mood, he looked at her and said, "Forget it this time. Next time, at least wait until you recover."
He threw the empty jar aside, and Miss.Liu took out another jar from under the table.
This was a provocation, a blatant provocation.
Li Yi looked down and saw that there were no more jars under the table. Only then did he feel relieved and snatched the jar. He opened the seal and drank the small jar of wine again.
He looked at Miss.Liu and said, "Listen to me. When you recover, I will drink with you. Drinking now is not good for your health. It will be troublesome if your illness worsens …"
Miss.Liu sat next to him and looked at him for a long time. Suddenly, she asked, "Why are you so good to me?"
Li Yi looked at her and asked in surprise, "Are you drunk?"
Miss.Liu nodded.
Li Yi held onto the table and said, "You are Ruyi's younger sister. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well …"
Miss.Liu looked at him and said, "Look into my eyes."
Li Yi turned his gaze and looked into her eyes.
"Say it again," Miss.Liu said calmly, "Why are you so good to me?"
"Because you are …" Li Yi looked into the pair of deep eyes that contained countless emotions and opened his mouth, "Because you are …"
"Because I am your younger sister?"
Li Yi looked into her eyes, but he could not say these words.
"Because you are Ruyi." Li Yi looked at her and said, "The one and only Liu Ruyi in the world."
Ruyi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember what you said that night?"
"Which night?"
"The night of your wedding."
Others were Kong Rong's pear, but the three of them were sisters' pear.
On the night of his wedding with Ruoqing Zuimo, he was locked out by Ruyi and Ruoqing Zuimo at the same time. That night, he and Ruyi drank and chatted happily. That was the closest he had ever been to Ruyi.
Whether it was the distance or the spirit.
Li Yi nodded and said, "I will support you …"
In fact, Li Yi rarely saw Ruyi smile. She would only sneer when she was beating him.
When she really showed that kind of happy smile, Li Yi was disappointed to find that his heart seemed to have stopped beating.
Clang!
The wine jar in Li Yi's hand fell to the ground, not because Ruyi smiled, but because of the soft touch on his lips.
It was not a touch, but a bump.
Simple and violent.
Fang walked in from outside and stood at the door. Seeing the situation in the room, he trembled and said, "Gu … Gu, Gu, Gu …"
Miss.Liu tilted her head to look at him and said lightly, "Get out."
He quickly turned around and strode out of the room, closing the door on his way out.
He stood in the yard and never felt that the sun was so hot today. He must be blind, very blind, so blind that he had hallucinations …
