Lan Yan, seeing that the person before her remained silent, leaned in slightly, blinking as she asked, "I think the taste is alright, what do you think?"
Jun Yelan felt that Lan Yan was like a child seeking praise. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed a crumb at the corner of her mouth. He then changed the subject, saying, "There's something on your mouth."
"Where?" Lan Yan casually wiped her mouth, but nothing came off on her hand.
Jun Yelan couldn't bear to watch. He reached out and gently wiped the crumb from the corner of her mouth. His fingertips brushed lightly against Lan Yan's lips. He looked up, meeting Lan Yan's eyes.
He froze and quickly withdrew his hand.
Lan Yan was also a little stunned, then her lips curved into a smile. At least at this moment, Jun Yelan didn't dislike her and was willing to help her. It seemed her efforts were paying off.
She became even happier, her eyes crinkling upwards.
In Jun Yelan's eyes, the person before him had changed. The Lan Yan he knew wouldn't show such expressions. The current her was an entirely different person.
This person was vibrant, warm, and thoughtful.
"Eldest Sister, I didn't mean to disturb you," Lan Ya's voice came from outside the door, interrupting Jun Yelan's thoughts. Recalling the scene just now, she smiled, "Eldest Sister, I'll come back later."
"Wait." Lan Yan called out. If Lan Ya's reaction upset Jun Yelan again, it wouldn't be good. She decided to treat this as a coincidence and asked, "Lan Ya, what did you need me for?"
Lan Ya smiled, "The peonies in the courtyard have bloomed. I came to ask Eldest Sister to admire them with me." She then said to Jun Yelan, "Young Master Jun, this outfit you're wearing was personally chosen for you by Eldest Sister, and she even fought for it from someone else."
She recounted the events of that day, praising Lan Yan's capabilities.
Lan Yan sat there, only able to smile. How did she feel like Lan Ya was here to be a wingman? This sister was a keeper!
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Lan Ya finished speaking and got up, saying, "Eldest Sister, I'll come again another time to ask you to admire flowers. I'll take my leave now." She chuckled, not wanting to disturb Eldest Sister's private moment.
Lan Yan saw her sister off and silently gave a thumbs-up behind her back. When she returned, she found Jun Yelan expressionless, completely unable to guess his thoughts. It seemed that Jun Yelan's opinion of her would take time to change.
She then said, "Oh right, I haven't applied your medicine today yet. Let me help you." With that, she reached out.
Jun Yelan's ears turned red. He said, "I'm all better now." Before, it was unavoidable, but now that he was well, he naturally couldn't let Lan Yan touch him casually. After all, there was a distinction between men and women, and they were from different races.
"Alright, then I'll call the physician to examine you." Lan Yan called for a doctor to examine Jun Yelan's pulse.
The physician said, "You've been recuperating well. You can go out freely now." He then prepared to leave with his medicine chest.
"Doctor, I'll see you out." Lan Yan escorted the physician to the door and asked, "Doctor, is there really no hope for his meridians?"
The physician shook his head. "I'm afraid I can't do anything. However, if you can find the wandering Divine Doctor Lin, there might still be a sliver of hope. But the Divine Doctor is eccentric and doesn't treat people casually."
Lan Yan knew where the hope lay, and she wouldn't give up easily. She said, "Thank you, Doctor." She walked back into the room and saw Jun Yelan standing at the doorway. It seemed he had heard their conversation.
As she was about to speak, Jun Yelan interrupted her. "You don't need to trouble yourself. My injuries won't heal." The Divine Doctor Lin was difficult to find, and even if he were found, he wouldn't treat him, because he was a snake clan member.
This was the Divine Doctor Lin's long-standing rule.
Lan Yan disregarded his words. "I'm the one who wants to treat you. Just focus on taking care of your health. Don't worry about anything else for now." If she worried too much, how could her body get better?
Jun Yelan was taken aback by her words and blurted out, "Why exactly are you treating me like this?"
