"Also, that necklace Ajiu gave you, you need to give it back to . Ajiu’s for , and mine for Ajiu, how perfect would that be?"
After spouting off a bunch, Ji Mingqian felt thirsty and stopped talking for the mont, getting up to get a drink.
Just as he turned around, the man’s long, thick eyelashes fluttered lightly, his fingertips curled slightly, but after a few seconds, there was no more movent.
"Ajiu, co and eat first. You need to be full of energy to take care of Li Mochan." Ji Mingqian looked at the al Xue Wu just brought in, his stomach had been singing a song of emptiness for a while now.
"You eat first." Ye Jiuliang said lightly as she shook the dicine in her hand, not bothering to look up.
Ji Mingqian sighed helplessly and put down his chopsticks. "Ye Jiuliang, look at yourself now, you’re as white as a ghost. If Li Mochan wakes up, don’t you think he’ll feel guilty? What’s he supposed to do if you collapse?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuliang’s movent of picking up the dicinal herbs stiffened, her expression dimd.
After a mont, she put down the dicine and herbs and walked around the table towards the sofa.
Seeing that she finally took his words to heart, Ji Mingqian let out a sigh of relief.
He placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of her, showing a rare consideration, he served her a bowl of soup and set it down before her.
"Hurry up and eat."
Ye Jiuliang humd softly and picked up the soup spoon to drink.
Having not eaten all day, Ji Mingqian was extrely hungry, quickly picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to eat.
After their belated dinner, it was already close to three in the morning.
Having slept the whole flight, Ji Mingqian wasn’t tired, whereas Ye Jiuliang was busy concocting dicine. He assisted her, occasionally going over to Li Mochan’s bed to chat; to put it bluntly, he was deliberately saying things to stimulate Li Mochan.

As the morning mist dispersed, the pale blue of dawn gradually turned into a light blue.
After a sleepless night, Ye Jiuliang’s eyes were bloodshot, and her face could not hide the weariness.
She put the solidified pills into a small porcelain bottle, stood up, and stretched languidly.
Her toe tapped against a chair, making a faint noise.
The person dozing on the couch suddenly woke up, Ji Mingqian shook his head and, lifting his eyes to Ye Jiuliang, said, "You’ve been up all night, why not take a nap?"
"I’m fine." Ye Jiuliang shook her head and walked over.
She poured a glass of warm water, took a cotton swab, dipped it in water, and gently wiped Li Mochan’s pallid lips.
"Ajiu, why don’t you feed him that pill?" Ji Mingqian followed her and asked.
"Let’s wait and see his condition first; if he doesn’t wake up today, I’ll feed it to him." Ye Jiuliang said, her voice hoarse.
Ji Mingqian fell silent, looking down at Li Mochan, who was still imrsed in sleep.
After a while, he said, "You better take a nap soon, I’ll go buy so breakfast for you."
"And on your way, swing by Mo Garden to help bring so luggage over, I had my aunt pack my things, you can just pick them up." Ye Jiuliang said.
Ji Mingqian picked up his car keys, "Got it."
...
The vast dining hall was spacious yet desolate.
The woman sitting at the head of the table wore a light purple suit dress, with delicate makeup highlighting her cold beauty.
ngzhu ca out holding a cup of coffee and placed it in front of her.
Then she stepped back and stood respectfully, "Miss, we have received information that Li Mochan was taken to the hospital yesterday."
Mo Su’s motion of sipping coffee paused, her eyes darkening slightly, "And then?"
"I sent soone to investigate. The Jiang family returned to Mo Garden, but Ye Jiuliang and Li Mochan were nowhere to be seen, and Li Mochan is not at the hospital either," ngzhu reported.
Upon hearing this, Mo Su narrowed her eyes, falling into deep thought.
Li Mochan’s sudden admission to the hospital must be fishy—could it be because of the silver needle from Qia Mian?
"Did you find out where Ye Jiuliang went?"
"Not yet, but we expect to have news by tonight."
If it really was because of that silver needle, Li Mochan’s condition might be quite bad; otherwise, Ye Jiuliang wouldn’t have suddenly taken people away.
Even Qian Mian wasn’t sure about the effect of that dicine. Li Mochan suddenly had an attack, whether it was the recovery of his mories or another loss of them, there was indeed sothing to watch for.
"After all, they’ve taken care of my brother for so long, we should go and express our gratitude. Let’s prepare so gifts and make a trip to the Li Family."
"Yes."
Mo Su picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, her lips curling into a mysterious smile.
Ye Jiuliang, good luck won’t fall upon you.

The blue motorcycle roared into Mo Garden; the guards at the gate recognized Ji Mingqian and let him through without hesitation.
It was still early, and likely there might be people sleeping in Mo Garden, so Ji Mingqian stopped the motorcycle in the courtyard to reduce the noise of the engine.
After getting off the motorcycle, he raised his hand to remove the helt and casually placed it on the bike.
Having been to Mo Garden several tis, he was already familiar with the paths.
Passing by the garden, he was drawn over by two bundles lying under a tree.
One was Erbao, who he had seen before, and the other was...
A white goose?
A dog sleeping next to a goose, now that was a rare and curious sight.
"Erbao, ti to eat."
The gentle voice ca closer from a distance, and as the mist dispersed, the clear-cut figure of a man entered his view.
Ji Mingqian raised an eyebrow, looking at the man who was still walking with a slight limp, a bright smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
Seems like he had been recuperating at ho quite well; the sprain on his foot had improved a lot.
While he was assessing him, Jiang Yisheng also noticed his presence.
Their gazes t in the air, and Jiang Yisheng was slightly startled.
"You’re out and about with an injury?"
The magnetic voice ca from the other side, laced with a hint of teasing.
Jiang Yisheng ca back to his senses and smiled lightly, "What brings you here?"
"I ca to help you feed the dog."
Although he had intended to tease him, the words ca out with a different aning.
Ji Mingqian also realized the ambiguity in his words and subtly changed the subject, "When did you start liking raising geese?"
"It’s not who’s raising them; it’s Jiuliang who bought it to fatten up and roast," Jiang Yisheng said, laughing at his own words.
Ji Mingqian chuckled along, "That really does sound like Ajiu’s style."
"Did you just get off the plane?" Jiang Yisheng walked over at a slow pace.
"No, I arrived at around one in the morning, brought so things over for Ajiu from VI Club. I just ca from there." Watching him walk with a slight difficulty on the left foot, Ji Mingqian reached out to take the large bowl of dog food from his hand.
Jiang Yisheng paused, then saw him place the large bowl next to Erbao and a radiant smile appeared on his lips.
"Did you co over so early for sothing?"
Ji Mingqian stood up straight and turned to look at him, "I’m here to pick up so things for Ajiu."
As they chatted and headed towards the living room, taking into account Jiang Yisheng’s slow pace, Ji Mingqian subtly slowed down his steps.
"How’s your injury?"
"It’s healing alright, it’s just I still can’t remove the cast on my hand, which is a bit inconvenient."
"Did you delay the concert because of it?"
Jiang Yisheng twisted the corner of his lip in self-mockery, "What, should I go on stage and play the violin like this?"
Ji Mingqian cracked a smile.
