Yao Zizhou did not say anything else. Ming Liuyi helped him apply medicine compress away with ease, then sat to the side out of habit to observe his skin, afraid that there would be any other reactions, and that Yao Zizhou would be scalded.
After a while, Ming Liuyi finally realized something. Yao Zizhou was already awake, and he could feel everything. If he felt uncomfortable, he would tell her himself. Ming Liuyi was suddenly at a loss for what to do. All the things she had been doing all this time were suddenly obsolete.
Ming Liuyi was afraid that the atmosphere would drop to freezing point again. If Yao Zizhou fainted from anger, then it would be really hard to explain. Yao Gui would probably order someone to kill her at once. Ming Liuyi decided to find a topic to talk about.
“Old Zhang’s food is really delicious. I wonder what he’ll make today. I’m looking forward to it. Hahaha…”
Yao Zizhou’s mouth seemed to have been sewn shut, and he did not seem to care about Ming Liuyi at all. Compared to hearing from the others about her being bullied, Yao Zizhou would rather have Ming Liuyi say it herself, but her action of moving her things out had already angered him.
Now that they were alone, Ming Liuyi did not seem to have any intention of complaining. Her generosity showed that Yao Zizhou’s distrust and wariness towards her was particularly narrow-minded.
He had finally woken up, and he really wanted to show off to her, but Ming Liuyi did not say anything. This made Yao Zizhou angry, so he did not say anything either. No matter how he thought about it, Ming Liuyi did not seem like Ming Liuyi.
Yao Zizhou still remembered that time when Ming Liuyi had gone to the Yao family’s mall to shop and thought that they did not receive her well, so she got angry on the spot. After she came back, she complained to everyone, but this Ming Liuyi in front of him was quiet.
Was she trying to hide it, or was he playing hard to get? This really made her seem a bit suspicious, and even more so for Yao Zizhou. Ming Liuyi saw that Yao Zizhou did not say anything, so she could only continue to liven up the atmosphere.
“Did you know that Old Zhang could make so many kinds of delicious food? I didn’t. The main manor sent over all kinds of outlandish food. But Old Zhang is an all-rounder, I just realized that. He knows all the major cuisines, and all the food prepared by him are delicious, especially the Sichuan cuisines. When you’ve recovered more and can take heavier meals, you must try it.”
Hearing these words, Yao Zizhou’s mouth curved up slightly. Was she going to start complaining? That’s right, there had to be some foreshadowing before a complaint. Yao Zizhou focused his attention, waiting for Ming Liuyi’s next sentence.
Ming Liuyi did not notice anything wrong with Yao Zizhou, and continued, “By the way, there’s also Cantonese food. The Cantonese food made by Old Zhang is also excellent.”
Yao Zizhou listened quietly. ‘That’s it? No, shouldn’t she start complaining by now?’ Ming Liuyi seemed to have thought of something again, and did not notice anything wrong with Yao Zizhou, as she continued to speak.
“Of course, there’s also soup. Old Zhang’s soups are so good. And even though I’ve been drinking soup for a long time. I’m not sick of it.”
Yao Zizhou’s face instantly darkened. ‘If you want to complain, just complain. Why are you talking so much nonsense?’ Yao Zizhou would eventually find out for himself whether Old Zhang’s food is good or not.
After a moment of silence, Yao Zizhou could not help but say,”Get to the point, or shut up.”
When Ming Liuyi heard this, she was stunned. ‘The point? What was the main point?’ Ming Liuyi pondered for a long time, but she still did not understand what the point was. She could only silently close her mouth and stop babbling.
Thinking about how she had not contacted You Lingling these past few days because she was busy, Ming Liuyi directly took out her phone and started to message her. Yao Zizhou found that Ming Liuyi really did shut up, but then notifications started ringing from her phone.
Yao Zizhou was speechless. He had never been as speechless as he was today. Soon, it was time to remove the compress. The servant came up and took the compress away. Ming Liuyi also put down her phone and got up to give Yao Zizhou a leg massage.
Yao Zizhou felt his pants being rolled up by Ming Liuyi and suddenly panicked. Although he had not seen his knees before after the accident, he had touched them countless times. He could feel the two ugly marks left by the stitches on his knees.
Yao Zizhou nervously said,”Don’t touch me.”
Even Yao Zizhou himself did not want to face his own scars, much less ask Ming Liuyi to see them. Although he knew that Ming Liuyi had seen them countless times, now that Yao Zizhou was awake, he naturally could not accept it.
