After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Although Rong Heng often went up the mountain to collect herbs, this was the first time that he had to swing his arms to fan himself while boiling medicine at such a high intensity.

Originally, he could have dealt with this matter quietly by himself, but he didn't expect that Cuizhi would still find out.

Now he couldn't show his emotions so openly.

Rong Heng simply took his hands back and placed them on both sides of his body, pretending nothing had happened.

"Nothing, I just felt a little tired from fanning myself, so I just stretched a little bit, and now I'm fine."

Cuizhi held back her laughter.

She saw how Rong Heng worked so hard with a red face and a thick neck.

I didn't expect that he would not admit it at this moment.

There was nothing she could do about it. She had originally planned to rub Rong Heng's arm.

Thinking of this, Cuizhi felt a little regretful.

"Well, since you have nothing to do, I'll go back first. The young lady is about to start taking medicine, so I think we should leave soon."

When Rong Heng saw Cuizhi was about to leave, he just thought that he could finally stop suppressing the expression on his face that was about to twitch due to the pain in his arm.

"Then you should go back first and get some rest before we set out again later."

After hearing this, Cuizhi felt even more lost.

But he didn't say anything else. He just said something to Rong Heng and left.

As soon as she turned and walked away, Rong Heng's suppressed expression completely collapsed. He hugged his arms with a grin, and did not forget to greet Si Jiu.

"This kid really has a wife and has forgotten his brothers. I have been making medicine for him for so many years, but I have never seen him take his medicine so seriously. This has made me want to lose my hands."

Cuizhi naturally didn't hear Rong Heng's complaints.

She met Ping An when she was almost reaching her carriage.

Ping An seemed to have been waiting for her here for a while.

When he saw her coming back, he walked straight up to her and said, "Cuizhi, you're back."

Cuizhi smiled at him politely: "Why are you here? The team is about to set off."

Ping An heard that she didn't seem to see his happiness, but only polite greetings.

He was a little lost.

But he soon recovered his normal strength.

"I saw that my wife, who was usually in good health, fell ill, and it was quite serious. I thought that maybe the journey was too tiring, so it was easy to get sick. I thought of you. You are also a girl, and you must be feeling uncomfortable after traveling for such a long time.

Just now when I was boiling medicine for my wife, I also asked Doctor Rong to use a small stove to boil some medicine for you that will be good for your health. It is now cooling on the frame of your carriage."

Ping'an has always been a careful person, and even Cuizhi sometimes feels inferior to him.

I didn't expect that he came here specifically to deliver medicine to me, and it was made by Rong Heng.

Cuizhi only heard Rongheng's name and smiled sincerely at Ping'an, "Thank you, Ping'an. I will go and finish all the medicine later."

Hearing the girl he liked thanking him, Ping An touched his head a little embarrassedly.

"You're welcome. You still have to take care of yourself and not get sick."

After all, if Cuizhi was sick, he would not be able to take care of her as carefully and personally as his own master took care of his wife.

At that point he could only worry.

Cuizhi smiled and said, "I know. You should take good care of yourself too."

Ping An was so happy that he almost flew to the sky.

Fortunately, his remaining sanity made him stay where he was and not fly up.

"I see. Thank you, Cuizhi." Ping'an felt that it was strange for him to say thank you. "I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he didn't dare to look at Cuizhi anymore and just left without looking back.

Cuizhi then went to her carriage and saw the bowl of medicine that Ping'an mentioned, which was also made by Rong Heng.

He also put a bag of candied fruit here.

I guess they gave it to her because they were afraid she would find the medicine bitter.

Candied fruits are rare, and he must have bought them when he was in Yunzhou and kept them with him until now.

I gave the whole bag to her, and I don't know if he had any to eat.

In fact, Cuizhi has never been exposed to love between men and women.

She had followed Wen Baizhi since she was a child and worked as her maid.

Young ladies from wealthy families hardly ever see any other men before they get married.

Cuizhi naturally had never seen it either.

Rong Heng was the first real man she had ever met.

She did not discriminate against eunuchs like Ping An.

But she is just an ordinary person. She will only regard Ping An as her friend, but will never think of it in other ways.

Although she also envied Wen Baizhi's deep feelings for Si Jiu, she felt that she could not accept it if it happened to her.

So when she realized her feelings for Rong Heng belatedly, she also discovered that Ping An had the same feelings for her as she did for Rong Heng.

But she couldn't give Ping An any response.

Not to mention that she is actually very traditional at heart.

She even has someone she likes.

With so many reasons, there was no way she could be with Ping An.

So she has been trying her best to avoid Ping An.

If Ping An didn't expose this relationship, she, a girl with conservative ideas, would not be able to say anything directly to Ping An.

What's more, what if she was just overthinking it?

What if Ping An is just used to being so nice to everyone?

These are all unknown things.

Cuizhi finished the bowl of medicine, but did not eat any of the candied fruit.

Candied fruits are rare, so she plans to keep them and give them to Ping An the next time she sees him.

Cuizhi finished drinking the medicine, and Wen Baizhi also started drinking the medicine.

Wen Baizhi couldn't help laughing when she thought about how this medicine was made.

The prescriptions that Rong Heng prescribed were always accurate and effective. Generally, for minor fevers and colds, as long as the patient took two or three doses of the medicine, he would be cured.

Wen Baizhi looked at Si Jiu holding the medicine bowl, imitating the way she took care of him, scooping the medicine into a spoon and blowing it carefully to cool it down, and she felt warm in her heart.

This was not enough, Si Jiu actually drank the first sip of the medicine.

Wen Baizhi looked at him puzzledly.

Si Jiu understood her confusion and explained, "Bai Bai, I wish I could help you bear your illness. I am not afraid of any pain or illness that falls on me. I just hope not to make you feel uncomfortable. But I know that this is not possible, so I can only help you taste whether your medicine is bitter or not.

In the past, I had no sense of taste, so I couldn't taste anything for you even if I wanted to. But now I know what bitter tastes like. I want to try it and remember the bitter taste, so that I can help you get sick less often and drink less bitter medicine in the future."
