Chapter 38 part 4

Right after Luo Fei finished feeding the chickens, he went to take the clothes and washed them. He placed his chair near Xi Yanqing, washing and chatting with Xi Yanqing, “Qing-ge, don’t go up to the mountain to collect medicine in the future, okay?”

Xi Yanqing gave it some thoughts. “It’s not that bad. You can’t be bitten by snakes once, and you have been afraid of the well rope for ten years. Besides, there is no wealth that is easily attainable in this world, so we should work hard when we’re still able to work hard. However, I promise you that I will pay more attention and be more careful in the future.”

Luo Fei bit his lips, then said, “Then, at least don’t go until the ground is dry after the rain, or else I think I will be very worried. Also, I decided to take the offer from Ruyi Embroidery Workshop.  This way, you won’t need to work so hard.”

Xi Yanqing didn’t expect Luo Fei to make such a decision. He caressed Luo Fei’s face and momentarily felt his heartache for Luo Fei. He wanted to ask what happened to the ginseng, but because Luo Yi was there, he didn’t say anything.

When Luo Yi went back at night, and Xi Yanqing saw Luo Fei hurriedly go into the room and lay down. Then he asked, “Is that ginseng still there?”

“It’s there.” Luo Fei said, “It’s very well hidden. Previously, I thought about selling it to seek treatment for you, but I didn’t expect to meet Shi Shi and Li Siyuan. They didn’t charge you a penny for this visit, so the ginseng was never sold. I asked Physician Liang a few days ago before you woke up, he even said that the medicine prescribed by Shi Shi also cost a lot of money, so I still have to figure out about what I should send them later. Shi Shi said that Li Siyuan liked what I embroidered, and asked me to make Little Changle a small outfit or something when I have time. When you’re better, I thought I should go to town to buy some good materials and make a family outfit for their family of three.”

“It’s a good idea, but you’ll be tired after making these three clothes.” Xi Yanqing took Luo Fei’s hand, “It seems that when I am well, I really need to love you well.”

“The moment you speak, you immediately go to a crooked place.” Luo Fei poked XI Yanqing’s face, “Why didn’t I realize you were such an improper man before?”

“I said that I would love you dearly, I didn’t say how I would love you dearly either, but you just said that I’m crooked. Between the two of us, who is actually the crooked one?”

“You’re the crooked one.” Luo Fei went to play with XI Yanqing’s eyebrows again, “But seriously, Qing-ge, it’s too scary to be sick or injured here, so we have to take good care of our bodies in the future.”

“En. Don’t worry, I’ll be more careful in the future.”

“…You won’t have a fever tonight, right?” Luo Fei’s voice was whisper^[1].

“Don’t worry, definitely not.” Xi Yanqing covered Luo Fei’s belly (with a blanket) and patted him lightly.

“Then that’s good…” Luo Fei said vaguely, then he actually fell asleep.

For the past few days, Luo Fei’s nerves had been stretched taut. He didn’t take a nap during the day and also did not sleep well at night. On top of that, he still had to do the housework, which had exhausted him. Now that he could finally relax, he slept very, very deeply.

On the other hand, Xi Yanqing could not sleep.

He planned to sell the ginseng when he was able to resume his normal activities, because only by having some more money in Luo Fei’s hand that he(XYQ) could feel much more secure.

Also, he needed to use the money to do something.

The original owner had some good friends when he was in the army, some of whom stayed in the army to develop themselves, while others, like Xi Yanqing, put down their armor and returned to civilian lives. When Xi Yu^[2] came back back at that time, someone did invite him to do business together with them, it was just that, Xi Yu didn’t say yes at that time.

As for the reason why Xi Yanqing didn’t go afterwards, it was because some of those people were very shrewd. He was worried that if he interacted with them for too long, then they would easily discover a problem.^[3] So he decided to go to Huaping Village first to win over Luo Fei, then think about that later.

No matter how it was measured, Luo Fei was always ranked first, and Xi Yanqing’s goal never changed. And now that his target had already been won over —— could be considered as won, at least Luo Fei now harbored some feelings for him. Although they had not reached that point yet, it was only a matter of time.

Xi Yanqing vaguely remembered that someone whispered in his ear when he was unconscious that they would accompany him in life or death.

Also, when he said that he wanted to eat Luo Fei, what did Luo Fei say? What he said was, Wait until you are better.

What did this mean? It meant that Luo Fei had completely accepted him ah!

When Xi Yanqing thought of this, he suddenly became overwhelmed with excitement! If it weren’t for the fact that he didn’t have much strength in his body, he would have stripped the little donkey next to him!

Luo Fei who was asleep, felt an inexplicable sense of danger.

He had a strange dream. He dreamed that he was turned into a donkey and there was a big tiger squatting next to him, and the tiger was looking at him straight in the eye!

When Luo Fei woke up, he looked at Xi Yanqing only to find that Xi Yanqing was asleep. He laughed at what he had dreamed and left to prepare a meal.

In conclusion! For the next few days, whenever he looked at Xi Yanqing, Xi Yanqing would always stare back at him with two bright eyes!

Xi Yanqing was starving, right?!

Luo Fei quickly put a chopstick on Xi Yanqing’s bowl, “Qing-ge, you eat slowly, I’m going to Han Xu’s place.”

There was no way he could stay in this house. Luo Fei felt that Xi Yanqing might just end up eating him alive.

Xi Yanqing was indeed restraining himself. The more he saw that Luo Fei liked him but was a little afraid of him, the more he wanted to possess Luo Fei. Seeing Luo Fei left with a sewing kit in his hands, he pulled Luo Fei over and pressed him directly on the table.

Are you crazy, Xi Yanqing?!

Xi Yanqing felt that it was a bit difficult to explain himself.

Fortunately, he wasn’t crazy enough to be violent, he was just gazing at Luo Fei’s face and thinking that he had to do some preparation so Luo Fei could relax a bit and accept him more easily.

But what was the saying again? Ah right… Everything takes time.

Xi Yanqing had just decided to wait for two more days to recover and give Luo Fei a pleasant surprise. On the contrary, Luo Fei gave him a surprise first, and it was a surprise accompanied by a full frightening surprise.
