Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1087: Brother Ye Qi Watches Over You
"Oh, Brother Ye Qi, the Medicine King said to take these elixirs once you wake up." Wen Xiao’ai picked up the small porcelain bottle on the chair beside the bed, then pulled over Ye Qi’s hand and poured the elixirs into his hand.
"Has Liyan returned too?" Ye Qi exclaimed with joy.
"Yes, I came back with him. He’s already visited twice this afternoon, but you were still asleep."
"How is he? Is he alright?"
"Hmm... the Medicine King was seriously injured before and reverted to his original form, falling into the Human Realm. I met him there, but he should be fine now, so don’t worry."
Hearing that Feng Liyan was fine, Ye Qi breathed a sigh of relief. The two heavy burdens in his heart finally settled down.
Putting the elixirs in his mouth, he said:
"I knew you went to the Human Realm."
"..." Wen Xiao’ai pursed her lips, not responding, just picked up a towel and continued to wipe the cold sweat off Ye Qi’s face.
Ye Qi watched her with a gentle gaze like water, a faint smile on his lips.
Wen Xiao’ai was a bit distracted and didn’t notice Ye Qi’s unabashed gaze, but even if she did, she wouldn’t think much of it, because Ye Qi often looked at her like that in the past.
And she was the same. When Ye Qi was writing or painting, she would watch him out of boredom.
But most of the time, she would fall asleep while watching.
But when she watched Jun Moyan, she never did, always more energized, never able to look enough.
Perhaps that’s the difference between love and indifference.
"Xiao’ai..."
Ye Qi couldn’t help but suddenly call her.
His gaze remained on her small face, unwilling to look away.
"Xiao’ai?"
"Ah, what’s the matter?" Wen Xiao’ai was startled.
"Nothing... just wanted to call you." Ye Qi said with a smile.
"You’re just like Jun..." Realizing what she was about to say, Wen Xiao’ai immediately stopped, her smile quickly disappearing.
"Like what?"
"Nothing." Wen Xiao’ai shook her head, trying to cover up with a smile, but her expression was unnatural.
"Well... Brother Ye Qi, lie down and rest. Are you hungry? I’ll get you something to eat." Wen Xiao’ai, afraid Ye Qi would ask more, tried to leave, but was genuinely worried he might be hungry.
"I’m not hungry."
"Then I’ll get you some water."
"No..."
Before Ye Qi could refuse, Wen Xiao’ai had already gotten up to pour water.
Ye Qi smiled, his heart warming.
"Brother Ye Qi, here’s some water."
Ye Qi smiled, took it, and drank a sip.
"Xiao’ai, have you been in the Human Realm these past few months? How did you manage before Liyan found you? I thought you just went for a bit of fun, but you were gone so long."
"I..."
"Hmm?"
"I... Brother Ye Qi, the Medicine King said you need more rest. Maybe I can tell you about my time in the Human Realm later."
"Brother Ye Qi isn’t tired, just wants to hear you talk."
"But I’m tired..." Wen Xiao’ai lowered her eyes, pursing her lips.
Ye Qi paused, looking at Wen Xiao’ai’s swollen eyes, a wave of guilt washed over him.
Then he got off the bed.
"Brother Ye Qi, where are you going?" Wen Xiao’ai quickly asked when she saw Ye Qi get off the bed.
"I’m not going anywhere. Aren’t you tired? Get on the bed and sleep; Brother Ye Qi will watch over you."
"No... no need, you should lie back down. I’ll go back to my own Princess’s Palace."
Seeing Wen Xiao’ai wave her hand repeatedly, Ye Qi understood.
He almost forgot, Xiao’ai had grown up and things couldn’t be like before.
