Knock, knock, knock!
After an unknown period of ti, the sun rose. The sound of knocking on wood ca from afar, mixed with the chirping of cicadas on the sumr morning.
Chirp, chirp!
Luo Ning slowly woke up, but her mind was still blank. She opened her eyes and looked at the window, only to see the morning light shining on the paper window, making the room much brighter.
Why did I faint? What did I do last night…
Luo Ning’s clear eyes were full of confusion. Just as she was feeling puzzled, a conversation ca from outside.
“Brother Jingtang, why did your bed collapse?”
“Yesterday, I was lying down and practicing the Thousand Pound Drop, but I accidentally broke the bedboard…”
?!
Hearing Yunli’s voice, Luo Ning instantly woke up. She rolled her head over, her eyes filled with fear as she looked down…
She was wearing her long blue dress and lying on the big bed in the main room. Everything in the room was fine, as if nothing had happened.
Hmm?
Was it a dream yesterday?
Luo Ning was very confused. She wanted to get up, but when she moved her legs, she realized that sothing was wrong…
“All-”
So sore…
Luo Ning quickly covered her mouth as countless images flooded into her mind.
With a ntal lapse, 1 went to the Pei residence to catch the little thief…
Being provoked by the little thief, 1 competed with him in willpower…
1 knocked Yunli unconscious and took the initiative to press the little thief down…
The little thief was so skilled…
1 found that the effect of the dicine hadn’t disappeared, so 1 didn’t leave…
Then 1 beca confused and dizzy. 1 have only so mory fragnts left. When 1 woke up again, the bedboard was broken…
1 panted weakly as I watched the little thief help put on my clothes…
Then he carefully carried to the main room and placed on the bed…
What have 1 done?!
This little thief is really good at tricks. Why am 1 so stupid…
Luo Ning covered her cheeks with her hands, and a blush instantly spread to her ears and neck.
After sitting on the bed for an unknown amount of ti, she finally suppressed the sha in her heart. Then boundless indignation surged in her heart. She really wanted to draw her sword and rush out to cut the little thief into eight pieces.
As for the reason why she wanted to cut him into eight pieces, it wasn’t important!
Luo Ning took a deep breath and regained her cold appearance. She wanted to turn over and get up.
But as soon as she moved, she frowned slightly and almost gasped. In the end, she resigned herself to her fate and fell onto the pillow. She continued to pretend to be asleep and nursed her body that was about to fall apart…
The morning sumr sun shone on the courtyard, and a new day began.
Breakfast had already been prepared in the kitchen. Because Luo Ning didn’t like at and fish, breakfast was vegetable porridge, which was being ward by the stove.
The green seedlings and bonsai under the vegetable trellis showed a lush color under the sunlight. The bedding and bed sheets had been washed and hung on the vegetable trellis to dry.
Zhe Yunli was dressed like a little girl next door. She was wearing the magpie hairpin that Ye Jingtang had given her yesterday, and her saber was hanging behind her waist. She was leaning against the window of the west wing, twirling the little turtle ornant with her fair fingers as she looked around the room.
The west wing was clean and tidy. There was no trace of liquids left behind by Sister Little Waterlons.
Ye Jingtang was half-squatting on the floor with a small hamr and nails in his hands and a broken bedboard in front of him.
As the saying went, ‘a person who is in poor health cannot handle sothing so strong as a tonic’.
The old wooden bed that had been used for many years had completely died of old age after being ravaged by Ye Jingtang without rcy. Even though his handiwork was exquisite, it was difficult for him to repair the broken old bed. After he hamred for a long ti, there were more and more cracks.
Zhe Yunli held her chin with one hand and praised, “Brother Jingtang, you’ve really mastered the Thousand Pound Drop. It’s better to buy a new one. Even if you repair this bed, you probably won’t be able to sleep on it for more than a few days.”
Ye Jingtang felt that she made sense. He gathered up the broken wooden bedboard and carried it out the door. “I have to go to the Black Office soon. Heroine Zhe, I’ll have to trouble you to help buy a sturdier bed later. When your martial mistress wakes up, please bring her the porridge. She was the main force when we fought Xu Bailin yesterday and consud a lot of energy.”
Zhe Yunli stretched out her small hand. “No problem. Just give enough money for the errand.”
Ye Jingtang threw the wood into a corner of the courtyard to use as firewood, took out a banknote, and handed it to Zhe Yunli. After so thought, he said, “Hero Qiu has already co out. I’ll go find out where he’s staying today. I’ll bring you over to et him when I have the chance.”
When Zhe Yunli heard this, she imdiately put away her sloppy behavior and pushed the banknote back in a refined manner. “I’m just joking. Brother Jingtang, you still have to pull strings and need silver everywhere. How can I take your money? It’s just a bed. I’ll ask Martial Mistress for money to buy it.”
?
Ye Jingtang felt that it was a little inappropriate to let Heroine Luo use her own money to buy the bed, but this wasn’t easy to say. He put away the banknote, packed up, and prepared to go out.
Just as he hung his saber at his waist, he heard a sound from the door of the main room.
Squeak!
He turned around and saw the cold young woman in blue appear at the door. Her hair was tied up neatly in a bun, with the blue hairpin he had given her stuck in it. Her bearing still carried an otherworldly immortal aura, but she had a bit more indescribable charm than before.
Luo Ning maintained her usual distant appearance, as if she didn’t rember anything, and walked gracefully to the kitchen. “Yunli, co eat.”
“Okay!” Zhe Yunli hurriedly skipped into the kitchen and began to scoop porridge.
Ye Jingtang looked at Heroine Luo and found Luo Ning’s eyes turning cold. She reached for the sword at her waist, looking as if she wanted to find an opportunity to slash him. He felt rather helpless and said, “I’m leaving.
Goodbye.”
“Brother Jingtang, take care.”
Luo Ning looked up from the kitchen window. Although she really didn’t want to talk to the little thief, she hesitated for a mont before exhorting, “Your arms are injured. You are not allowed to fight.”
“Okay.” Ye Jingtang smiled, turned around, and walked out of the courtyard..
