Bai Tianye took a deep breath and suppressed the evil fire in his heart. He sat in front of the stove and started the fire.
With Bai Tianye's willingness, Jiujiu quickly finished preparing lunch.
After cooking, Jiujiu casually took a plate and gave Bai Tianye some food before calling Qi Ye to eat at the kitchen table.
This was the result of his hard work, but he couldn't eat at the table. With a creak, the chopsticks in Bai Tianye's hand were broken into two.
Jiujiu glanced at Bai Tianye when she heard the sound. She picked up some red braised pork for the naive Qi Ye and said gently, "Eat more."
Qi Ye was still growing and had already digested everything he ate last night. How could he resist such delicious food?
With a roar, Qi Ye began to eat like a piglet.
Qi Ye wasn't very old to begin with, so he went all out. By the time Jiujiu finished a bowl of rice, Qi Ye had already finished all the food on the table.
After finishing all the food, Qi Ye still wasn't satisfied. He took a steamed bun and dipped it in the sauce on the plate before eating another two big steamed buns.
The plate that Qi Ye finished was as clean as if it had been washed.
Jiujiu's eyes twitched when she saw how Qi Ye looked like a reincarnated starving ghost when he ate.
How many days had this child not eaten before? He ate so much last night, yet he was still so hungry.
After Qi Ye finished eating, Jiujiu stopped Qi Ye who was about to wash the dishes and said to Bai Tianye with a bright smile, "I'll have to trouble you with the dishes."
The moment Jiujiu and Qi Ye left, the bowl and chopsticks in Bai Tianye's hand turned into dust.
This slut, how dare she treat him like this.
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted her to help him treat his little junior sister, he would definitely kill this slut.
Definitely ~
Bai Tianye took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He turned around and cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen.
There weren't any porters staying at the inn today.
In the afternoon, Jiujiu sat in the courtyard outside the inn, instructing Qi Ye to water the vegetables while staring blankly at the endless desert.
The desert was just like the sea. Endless yellow sand stretched as far as the eye could see. It was spectacular yet sad.
Bai Tianye came out of the kitchen and saw Jiujiu looking at the desert outside. He walked behind Jiujiu and said softly, "It's spectacular, isn't it?"
Jiujiu tilted her head and glanced at Bai Tianye. She said in a cold voice, "I've been here since I was young and have seen the desert for countless days. I'm not interested in talking to you about this."
Even if she was interested, she didn't want to talk to a hypocrite like Bai Tianye.
Jiujiu's disdainful look made Bai Tianye's face turn ugly.
Bai Tianye's deep pupils stared straight at Jiujiu. "Miss, you seem to have some prejudice against me."
Jiujiu glanced at Bai Tianye with a fake smile and said in a cold voice, "I'm not prejudiced against you. I'm just too lazy to care about you. Save your little tricks for the little girl."
Jiujiu was just short of telling Bai Tianye that her eyes had already seen through everything.
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she stood up from the stool and stretched lazily. She looked at Qi Ye and shouted, "It's getting dark. Come back and sleep."
Hearing Jiujiu calling for him, Qi Ye carried the bucket and walked towards Jiujiu happily.
When he passed by Bai Tianye, Qi Ye smiled brightly. "Hello, Young Master Bai."
Seeing Qi Ye's carefree and happy appearance, Qi Ye's eyes darkened.
Bai Tianye didn't understand. Whether it was appearance or ability, he was much better than this Qi Ye who didn't know anything. However, Jiujiu looked at Qi Ye in a different light and treated him coldly. It was really strange.
The next day, there were still no guests.
Jiujiu wasn't in a hurry. After eating, she sat on the lounge chair in the hall and ate melon seeds while listening to Qi Ye talk about his life in the capital.
Just like Qi Ye's appearance, Qi Ye was indeed a delicate young master. When he was in the capital, there were countless servants in his house. As long as he was willing, he didn't even need to clean his own butt, let alone cook.
Qi Ye's family background was good and he had seen a lot. When he talked about the capital, he was very familiar with it. Especially with Qi Ye's colorful expressions, it was like he was performing a crosstalk. Jiujiu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
When Bai Tianye saw Jiujiu and Qi Ye talking and laughing from upstairs, he frowned.
The godly doctor said that his little junior sister only had three months left to live. There was no other way other than to exchange a life for a life. This method was unique to the Medicine King Valley. The only person he could rely on now was this lady boss.
The problem was that this lady boss was too difficult to deal with. Not only was she shrewish, but she also looked down on him.
Bai Tianye was so angry that he wanted to flick his sleeves and leave countless times. However, every time he thought about his little junior sister's illness, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
Bai Tianye went downstairs and walked in front of Jiujiu. He asked, "I wonder if Miss can have a word with me?"
Jiujiu glanced sideways at Qi Ye, who was smiling foolishly and didn't know anything. She said, "No, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm still busy."
She would rather listen to Qi Ye, that silly boy, perform a crosstalk than listen to Bai Tianye, that hypocrite, lie.
Jiujiu's vulgar words made Bai Tianye frown.
Bai Tianye tried his best to calm himself down. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "I like Miss, but I don't know how to let Miss see my heart clearly."
"You like me?" Hearing Bai Tianye say that he liked her, Jiujiu almost laughed out loud.
When Little Blossom was very good to Bai Tianye and told him that she liked him, Bai Tianye rejected her with a smile.
But now, she was ignoring and tormenting Bai Tianye, and he actually came to tell her that he liked her?
As long as one didn't have masochistic tendencies, it was possible for them to like someone who tormented them in all sorts of ways. He really didn't even think of a script when he lied. He really treated her like a fool.
Jiujiu looked at Bai Tianye with disdain. She thought for a while and said, "I heard that there is an oasis in the middle of the desert. In the middle of the oasis is a moon lake. There is a night pearl in the moon lake. If you can bring the night pearl back, I will believe that you like me."
The desert was boundless. No one knew how long it would take to walk to the center of the desert, let alone find the night pearl.
Bai Tianye probed, "What if I can't?"
Hearing Bai Tianye say that he couldn't find it, Jiujiu instantly turned hostile. "If you can't find it, you still have the face to say that you like me."
Bai Tianye said, "Then if I bring it back, will Miss accept my feelings?"
Jiujiu rolled her eyes. "Let's talk about it after I bring it back."
Bai Tianye looked deeply at Jiujiu, then turned around and went upstairs.
After Bai Tianye left, Qi Ye looked at Jiujiu curiously and asked, "Lady Boss, you want that night pearl?"
Jiujiu rolled her eyes and pouted. "I'm just trying to trick a child."
She just made up something to stop Bai Tianye from bothering her for a while. As for whether Bai Tianye could find it or not, it had nothing to do with her.
