"You're still alive?" As Yang Zheng looked Yan Su up and down a few times, he gradually calmed down from his excitement.
He returned to his previous dejected state.
"No wonder he couldn't find you. So you were hiding here." Yang Zheng closed his eyes again, his tone filled with mockery.
Yan Su frowned and lowered his eyes. "Marshal Yang, this is not the place to talk. Please follow me."
"Go with you? I'm not going!"
"When Luoluo died, I swore that I would never serve the Jin family again." Yang Zheng turned around.
Yan Su's expression darkened.
His voice was cold and dignified as he said, "Marshal Yang, don't you want to avenge Miss Yang?"
"If I can get your help, I will have the power to fight him."
"The power to fight him? Ridiculous, what a joke."
"If you could really defeat him, why would you go into hiding in South Yue?!"
"Since you're a coward, don't boast."
"It's impossible for me to work for the Jin family anymore!" Yang Zheng said firmly, his face flushed from agitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zheng saw Lin Luo open the door and walk out.
His eyes lit up. He thought that Lin Luo had changed her mind and wanted him to stay, so he watched Lin Luo approach with anticipation.
Unexpectedly, Lin Luo handed Yan Su something strange, as if she didn't see Yang Zheng.
"This is called a knee pad. If you wear it on your knee, your knee will feel better during winter."
Yan Su didn't take it. He only gazed at Lin Luo meaningfully.
How much had Lin Luo heard of his conversation with Yang Zheng just now?
"What's wrong? Don't know how to wear it? Then I can show you." As soon as Lin Luo finished speaking, she reached out to grab Yan Su's pants.
Yan Su felt his heart skip a beat.
His ears turned red and he could no longer maintain his calm appearance. He was a little flustered and exasperated as he shouted, "Lin Luo, you, you're so shameless!"
No one had ever dared to do this before!
No one had ever dared to pull his pants!
Lin Luo grunted with a calm expression.
Doctors didn't mind gender differences. Moreover, she only wanted to show Yan Su how to wear knee pads.
How was she shameless?
Lin Luo put the knee pads on her knees and showed them to Yan Su. "You have to wear the knee pads like this, understand?"
Then, she took off her knee pads and threw them on Yan Su before returning.
As Yan Su held the knee pad, he was able to smell Lin Luo's lingering fragrance on them.
This time, it wasn't the smell of lavender, but a spice that Yan Su wasn't familiar with.
What was it?
"Cough cough cough!"
Yang Zheng's cough made Yan Su snap back to reality.
"Your Highness, you want me to join you?" Yang Zheng's tone changed drastically.
Yan Su was baffled by Yang Zheng's drastic change.
He took a few more glances at Yang Zheng.
Yang Zheng looked in the direction of Lin Luo's courtyard and said, "So her name is Lin Luo. Even her name is similar to Luoluo's."
"The sent me to her side to atone for Luoluo."
"Your Highness, I can help you, but you have to help me do something."
Obtaining Marshal Yang's help was like adding wings to a tiger.
Yan Su said respectfully, "Please tell me, Marshal Yang. I'll definitely try my best."
"As long as you get Lin Luo to let me stay in her courtyard, I'll join you."
Yan Su was speechless.
???
"Why do you want to stay in her courtyard?" Yan Su's tone became slightly more serious.
He looked a little resistant.
Yang Zheng smiled bitterly. "I just want to atone for my sins."
"Didn't Your Highness notice that she's very similar to Luoluo? Since I can't watch Luoluo get married and have children, let me protect Lin Luo for the rest of my life to atone for my sins."
"Moreover she's my savior, so she's worth it."
Yang Zheng treated Lin Luo as a source of comfort.
After Yan Su relaxed slightly, he thought for a moment and said, "I'm… willing to give it a try."
He brought Yang Zheng home to settle down first. After thinking for a moment, he knocked on Lin Luo's door.
After Lin Luo opened the door, she saw that it was Yan Su.
This was novel. Most of the time, she went to look for Yan Su, but Yan Su rarely came to look for her.
"I…"
Yan Su hesitated for a long time before saying, "Why did you dig a hole at my door?"
This was something that confused him.
But that wasn't the purpose of his visit.
Yan Su wanted to rub the space between his eyebrows.
Lin Luo blinked. "You saw me dig a hole?"
That wasn't the case.
"No, right?" Lin Luo smirked. Things would be easy to deal with if he didn't, so she said confidently, "You're mistaken. I didn't dig that pit."
"If it's not you, who else can it be?" Yan Su asked.
Only his and Lin Luo's homes here. It was unlikely that someone else came to dig that pit.
Lin Luo shrugged. "I don't know."
"Is there anything else?" Lin Luo asked again.
Yan Su pursed his lips and frowned slightly. "Yes, bring me the medicine packet."
"What medicine packet?" Lin Luo was confused.
"The medicine packet I gave you."
Lin Luo's heart skipped a beat. "Are you asking for it back?"
Yan Su was amused by Lin Luo.
"What are you thinking?"
Yan Su walked straight in. After getting the medicine bag from the kitchen, she started a fire and placed the medicine on the stove to brew the medicine.
"If you don't take the medicine, you won't get better."
"Thank you for the knee pads."
When Lin Luo smelled the medicine in the air, she finally understood what Yan Su meant.
Because she had given Yan Su knee pads, he wanted to thank her. However, because she always accepted the medicine bag but didn't brew the medicine, in order to express his gratitude, Yan Su specifically came to help her brew the medicine.
What a socially awkward guy.
Lin Luo pulled a chair and sat down beside Yan Su. Then, she continued to admire his handsome face.
"Yan Su, if you want to thank me next time, you can just say it." Lin Luo supported her chin with her hand as she said in a soft voice.
Yan Su looked away.
After the medicine was brewed, Yan Su handed it to Lin Luo.
"Drink it."
Lin Luo was once again speechless.
"The medicine is too hot. I'll drink it later." Lin Luo smiled ingratiatingly. "The medicine has already been brewed, so why don't you go back first?"
Yan Su looked into Lin Luo's eyes.
"If I leave, will you take the medicine?"
Lin Luo choked. Yan Su wasn't good at expressing his own emotions, but he was very sharp when questioning people.
Of course not.
Lin Luo didn't like bitter things.
Medicine was too bitter.
"I swear on Zhang Wei's conscience!"
Yan Su frowned and let go.
Then, he turned to leave.
Lin Luo heaved a sigh of relief and poured the medicine on the onions at the side of the courtyard.
When she turned around, she saw Yan Su standing at the door and looking at her.
Lin Luo hid the empty bowl behind her and lowered her head to count the ants on the ground.
With a barely audible sigh, Yan Su walked past her and entered the kitchen. Not long after, he brought out another bowl of medicine.
Lin Luo was once again speechless.
Why was there more?
"In the past, there was a young lady who always secretly poured out the medicine, like you."
Therefore, Yan Su developed the habit of making two bowls of medicine every time he brewed it.
Under Yan Su's gaze, Lin Luo drank the entire bowl of bitter medicine. Her face scrunched up, and then something was stuffed into her mouth.
A sweet taste spread on the tip of her tongue.
It was candied plum.
Yan Su placed a bag of candied plums on the table. He had just brought them over.
As Lin Luo held the bag of candied plums tightly, her heart skipped a beat.
Her heart was palpitating.
It was a fluttery feeling.
