Rong Heng’s gaze inadvertently fell on the courtyard upon hearing Elder Yin’s words, landing on that plump and adorable figure. A fleeting emotion seed to appear in his eyes, and his whole deanor suddenly beca clear and bright. Perhaps this was what they called "a single phrase awakening soone from a dream"?
Elder Yin was an unconstrained man who, even after taking Tangyuan under his wing, did not interrupt his habit of traveling everywhere. He left her a few dical books, instructing her to morize what needed morization and read what needed to be read. He told her to wait for his return to explain whatever she couldn’t understand. Tangyuan bitterly smiled—studying dicine in the future was all about morization, and evidently, she could not escape this fate even in ancient tis. Well, what more was there to say? Just morize!
Besides this learning task, Rong Heng’s condition had also been completely handed over to Tangyuan for treatnt. Elder Yin had examined him initially but did nothing afterwards, feeling that her prescriptions were good and allowing her to continue using that recipe for his detoxification treatnt, then he simply disappeared without saying when he would return.
Rong Heng had already grown accustod to such an old master, but Tangyuan quite agreed with the saying that the more capable a person was, the stranger their temperant.
Ever since leaving Dongru Country, Rong Heng had never had a mont’s peace, and now that he could finally stop and rest, he naturally did not want to miss this chance.
So, when he was hungry, he looked for Tangyuan, when he was thirsty, he looked for Tangyuan, for taking dicine or acupuncture, he looked for Tangyuan. It was always Tangyuan, Tangyuan—he did not stop calling.
As soone called tirelessly, she couldn’t help but complain to him, "Call Tangyuan, not Yuanyuan!"
"Why? Your na is Yuan Yuan, isn’t it wrong if I call you Yuanyuan?"
"I am not surnad Yuan; I am surnad Tang. Yuanyuan ans round and rolling, are you suggesting that I am not fat enough?"
Rong Heng looked at her chubby face and couldn’t help but reach out to touch it, "Wow, this feels really nice, and it’s very cute to pinch too. What are you talking about being fat? Your current look is great to ; just don’t lose weight, it wouldn’t look good if you were thinner."
Tangyuan didn’t expect him to actually reach out and pinch her face. Instinctively wanting to slap his hand away, her hand was instead grabbed by him, and he even seriously rubbed the back of her hand. In an instant, she felt like she had been taken advantage of, grinding her teeth through the gaps: "Rong Heng, you better not, go, too far!"
Seeing the little fatty getting angry with her cheeks puffed, Rong Heng let go very attentively, but his annoying habits did not change.
"Today, I want to eat what you cook... hmm, battered pork, three vegetables, stove chicken; and the stove chicken should be served with pancakes. Your pancakes taste good; I haven’t really tasted that kind of pancakes before...,"
Hearing him promptly list five or six dishes, she calculated the ti and felt it was too ti-consuming. Plus, she still had her learning tasks, so she imdiately refused.
"No, you can only choose one. I don’t have that much ti. Look at these dical books; they are so thick. I need to find ti to study. I can’t waste all my ti cooking, right?"
Rong Heng got sowhat displeased, "Woman, have you forgotten that you are still within the period of our cooperation? As this Prince’s personal maid, if you don’t cook, what are you to do?"
"Well, isn’t studying dicine also for taking better care of you? You said it yourself that we are in a cooperative relationship, not a master-servant relationship. Since it’s a cooperation, it has to be established on a fair and just platform. You can’t demand ,"
Seeing her talk back to him, Rong Heng suddenly felt that maybe he had been too easy-going usually. This little fatty was actually bargaining with him?
His eyes narrowed, his chin lifted, "This Prince says I want to eat, so I shall eat. If you cannot provide by noon, do you believe you will be in trouble?"
