Chapter 13: Into His Gentle Eyes
"General Ling was seriously injured by poison, but the poison has been cured. His other injuries are not serious. Don't worry."
"Are you hungry?" he asked, changing the subject.
"some."
"I'll go and ask the kitchen to bring the porridge." He got up and went out.
Shu Shiyu lowered her eyes and caught a glimpse of blue. She took it out of the quilt and held it in her hand.
"Host, you lied to me! You said before that you didn't have any improper thoughts about the mission target!" If the Pearl of All Worlds had hair, it would definitely be furious at this moment.
"Stop making so much noise." Yu Tongchen ignored its impotent rage.
"How could you do this? You are not trustworthy!"
"I just like her, and it doesn't violate the moral principles."
Wanjiezhu was silent for a moment, "You set a verbal trap for me! You can't be with her!"
"He's unmarried and she's unmarried, why can't I be with her?"
"Because, because..." Wanjiezhu hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly.
"Instead of hoping that someone else will protect her, why not let me do it myself? Don't you think so?" Yu Tongchen pinched the white pearl that was so angry that she couldn't speak. "She will get married eventually."
Due to the times, a woman who does not get married will always face a lot of criticism, and she will not be single all her life.
The Pearl of All Worlds fell silent. Yes, it had forgotten that this was an ancient non-spiritual world.
But...she is a god, how can she marry a mortal?
"Think about it carefully." Yu Tongchen threw it away and continued walking towards the kitchen.
"Worry-free."
"I'm here." Wuyou jumped out from the darkness.
"Find something for Baitong to do and get her out of the way."
"Yes." Although he was a little confused, Wuyou still agreed.
When Yu Tongchen walked into the kitchen, he saw that only Su Mu was there.
"Master, the porridge is here." Su Mu handed him the food box.
"Ah."
The door opened, and Shu Shiyu saw that it was him, and couldn't help but ask, "Where's Bai Tong?"
"I don't know."
Yu Tongchen took out the porridge from the food box, stirred it with a spoon to make it cool faster, and when the temperature was about right, he scooped a small spoonful and handed it to her lips.
"Try it and see if the temperature is right?" he asked softly.
Shu Shiyu stretched out his hand, "I can do it myself."
He held the bowl further away and coaxed her gently, "Be good."
Some things can be learned naturally, such as coaxing her.
Shu Shiyu looked at him and opened his mouth to take the porridge.
"Is it hot?"
"Just right."
He scooped a spoonful and she ate it obediently.
But I feel very confused.
After feeding her half a bowl of food, Yu Tongchen put the bowl down, picked up a handkerchief from the side and wiped her mouth.
He touched her forehead again and said, "It's still early in the morning, sleep a little longer."
Shu Shiyu's face flushed. Although the fever had subsided, he still felt hot all over.
She quickly stuffed the tassel in her hand into his and whispered, "Thank you."
Then, he slid into the quilt at an extremely fast speed and pulled the quilt over his head.
The heartbeat is like a drum.
Yu Tongchen lowered his eyes to look at the thing in his hand, smiled silently, then looked at the small bulge on the bed, and a smile spread in his eyes.
He put the bowl into the food box and said, "Keep your head out. Don't get bored. I'll come over tomorrow morning."
After the sound of the door closing, Shu Shiyu pulled off the quilt and touched his slightly hot cheek.
After a while, the door was quietly pushed open. Bai Tong saw Shu Shiyu staring blankly at the ceiling with his eyes open, so he walked over and asked, "Miss, are you feeling better?"
Shu Shiyu came back to his senses and said, "Better now."
"Have you had your porridge?"
"Well, where did you go?"
"The secret guard beside Divine Doctor Yu called me out hesitantly, and asked me to teach him how to cook. I don't know why he would learn how to cook in the middle of the night." Bai Tong complained, "I said I would come back to take care of you, but he said Divine Doctor Yu was here so I didn't need to worry."
Shu Shiyu pursed his lips, and a look of understanding flashed across his eyes.
On the second day, Yu Tongchen arrived earlier than before he left the Valley of Divine Medicine and took her pulse as usual.
In addition to the medicine box, he also carried a package.
"When did you go to bed last night?"
"It's not long since you left. Why did you come so early today?" Shu Shiyi stared at the package.
"Have breakfast with you."
Shu Shiyu said "oh".
He placed the package in front of her and said, "Open it."
Shu Shiyu's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he started to open the package in front of him.
Inside were two thick letters, and the rest were some small items not available here, including a pony carved and polished by her grandpa.
Shu Shi and Mou Guang touched it happily, looked at the other things, and then opened the envelope to look.
Yu Tongchen picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water. He felt the cup and felt it was hot, then put it in front of her. He then poured himself a cup and took a sip.
Seeing that she was happy, he couldn't help but soften his expression.
Shu Shiyu looked at the lines of words on the letter paper, most of which were about some interesting things her grandfather encountered at the border. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
But after seeing the words "stay away from a certain wolf cub", Shu Shiyu couldn't help but look up at the opposite side, but he never thought that he was also looking at him.
Bumping into his gentle eyes, Shu Shiyu lowered her head in panic, and the fingers holding the letter unconsciously tightened.
Yu Tongchen chuckled silently.
Bai Tong came back with a lunch box, followed by Zi Ling.
"Did you go the wrong way? Shouldn't you go the other way?" Bai Tong was puzzled.
"That's right. The master is at Miss Shu's place. He said he was having dinner with Miss Shu."
"Oh." Bai Tong stopped talking and went to the main house with Ziling.
After knocking on the door and entering, she brought out breakfast.
"Have you used it?" Shu Shiyu looked at her.
Bai Tong shook his head, "No."
"Then you go and use some first, I can do it alone."
Bai Tong looked at Yu Tongchen cautiously with anxiety. It's not a good idea for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room, right?
Last night's circumstances were special and should be considered separately.
Yu Tongchen glanced at Zi Ling, who somehow understood what he meant and pulled Bai Tong out, "Ah, are you afraid that my master will eat your young lady?"
Bai Tong was dragged out before he could say anything.
Yu Tongchen took out breakfast from two food boxes and placed the bowl of pumpkin, yam and millet porridge in front of her.
Shu Shiyu looked at the porridge in front of him, then stole a glance at his.
Yu Tongchen had no choice but to push the bowl in front of her, "It's all the same, but my portion is a little bigger."
"Oh."
Shu Shiyu drank the porridge in the bowl attentively in small sips, and soon the small bowl was empty.
Bai Tong was familiar with her appetite, so he only served her what she could finish.
Yu Tongchen took a look and said, "Not bad, your appetite has improved."
Shu Shiyu glanced at him again. Is this something worthy of praise?
"You fell ill last night, so don't go out today. It's not good to be exposed to the wind." He put the bowl into the food box and took out her medicine soup.
"Okay." Shu Shiyu drank the bowl of black medicine in one gulp without changing his expression.
Yu Tongchen pushed the small plate of candied fruit in front of her, "Isn't it bitter?"
"I'm used to it." Shu Shiyu picked up a candied fruit and put it in his mouth to suppress the taste.
"When you get better in the future, you won't have to suffer this pain anymore. What do you want to do today?"
"do not know."
"How about I play chess with you?"
"are you free?"
