"Since it’s one of our own, why jump through a window when there’s a door? Are you mad!"
As Ye Bai was feeling repelled by Si Rong, Si Rong was also sizing up Ye Bai.
The thing that had just bumped him into the room didn’t seem to be a person at all, especially the reflection from the window, which clearly resembled a monster with wings.
But looking outside again, there were no winged creatures, just this one boy. His face was childlike, yet he was as tall as a giant. Ye Bai thought he was already not short, but this person in front of him was a whole head taller than him.
"Miss Ye, the thing that just bumped me in was..." Si Rong hesitated.
Ye Jiu didn’t know about Si Rong seeing Ye Bai’s wings through the reflection on the wall, and explained, "Guard Si Rong, Ye Bai doesn’t know you, that’s why he was a bit rude. I hope Guard Si Rong won’t blame him."
Si Rong looked again and indeed didn’t see any winged creatures, which left him no choice but to believe.
As for the severe injuries sustained, he could only accept it himself as it was his decision to enter late at night. Even the best reason couldn’t counter the fact that he was prying someone’s window.
Ye Jiu also knew from a chat with Si Rong that they were supposed to have arrived a few days ago, but there had been some minor incidents on the road, plus the sudden heavy snow, which delayed their journey by a few days.
Ye Jiu gave Si Rong some medicine for his injuries, and he felt better soon after.
With no other choice, Ye Jiu asked Ye Bai to take him to another room to recuperate properly first.
Ye Jiu understood why Si Rong was so cautious about this visit; after all, it was for her safety.
Sikong Mo had long cautioned her that the fact she provided food must not be known to others; otherwise, it could lead to fatal troubles for her.
Ye Jiu was aware of this as well.
Moreover, she wouldn’t dare gamble the safety of her own family.
Thanks to Ye Jiu’s effective medicine, after a night’s rest, Si Rong was almost recovered by the next day, except for some lingering tightness in his chest.
The food had already been packed in sacks at Luo Ranran’s place. Ye Jiu had moved the sacks into an empty house as soon as Sikong Mo mentioned that the people transporting the food were about to arrive.
Ye Jiu let Ye Bai take Si Rong and the others to check the food, then she efficiently withdrew from the matter. As for when they would transport it, Ye Jiu didn’t care anymore.
However, thinking back, Ye Jiu once felt upset when Ye Bai first transformed into a human, but now found him incredibly handy to use.
After all, possessing Plane Space in her own right already made her an oddity in the eyes of ordinary people, and Ye Bai, gained through Plane Space, naturally didn’t have to be hidden from him.
So now, many tasks inconvenient to entrust to others could be given to Ye Bai to handle, saving Ye Jiu a lot of hassle.
Ye Jiu had thought that Si Rong would leave as quietly as he had arrived, but unexpectedly, Si Rong didn’t leave quietly but sneaked up in the middle of the night again.
However, having learned from the last experience, he learned to knock on the window instead of prying it open.
It was late at night again.
Ye Jiu had just fallen asleep in bed when she suddenly heard a knock at the window.
Ye Jiu immediately sat up, put on her shoes, walked over, and opened the window, and sure enough, as she expected, it was Si Rong again.
For this guy was the first person in history to knock on her window in the dead of night.
