Ming Luochun approached her, stopped two steps away, looked at her attire, and asked softly, "Did you just come back?"

"Yeah." Jiang Qi replied word by word.

Then the two of them fell inexplicably quiet, and no one spoke.

Jiang Qi was trying to calm herself down. She was going crazy; her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't calm down at all.

Fortunately, Lin Yue, who had just woken up, opened the door and came out to break the silence.

"What are you two doing here?!" Because they were standing at the door of Lin Yue's room, and when she opened the door, she was startled.

When Jiang Qi heard Lin Yue's voice, she immediately looked at her and said to her, "Are you waking up now?"

"Yeah." Lin Yue replied first, and after seeing Jiang Qi's face clearly, she asked in confusion: "Why is your face red?"

Jiang Qi laughed unnaturally, covered her face with her hands and asked, "Am I blushing?" As she spoke, she unconsciously turned her head and glanced at Ming Luochun next to her. The other party was also looking at her with concern. It was over, and her face felt even redder.

"Yeah." Lin Yue replied seriously.

"Hehe, maybe it's because I just finished exercising, so my face is a little red. Have you had breakfast? If not, go and have it quickly. I'll go change my clothes first." After saying that, Jiang Qi ran back to her room as if escaping.

Lin Yue looked at it for a while, then asked Ming Luochun directly: "What did you do?"

"Just a greeting." When Ming Luochun talked to Lin Yue, he was no longer as gentle as when he talked to Jiang Qi. He became another kind of friendliness.

"Really?" Lin Yue obviously didn't believe it. Jiang Qi looked shy. What was there to be shy about? She was also a little curious. It was the first time she saw Jiang Qi like this.

"Are you hungry? There is freshly prepared breakfast in the restaurant." Ming Luochun asked with concern.

Lin Yue's eyes lit up: "You did it?"

"Yeah, it's just been made."

"Then I'll go downstairs to have breakfast first." After saying that, he ran away.

"Slow down." Ming Luochun instructed.

At the same time, Jiang Qi returned to the study and fell into thought after calming down. She was too abnormal. Even if the other person was completely in line with her aesthetic point, it would not have such a big impact on her. There must be something wrong.

And when she met Ming Luochun in the corridor, she smelled the rose-like fragrance again, which made her more certain that it was definitely him she saw outside. But how did he do it?

"Ding--"

Jiang Qi was lost in thought when the phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. The landline in the study rang, and she had to answer it first.

"Hello, Jiang Qi." The voice was polite, soft and friendly.

"Miss, it's me." A familiar voice came.

"Zhiyi, why are you calling my landline?" Jiang Qi resumed her normal voice after knowing who it was.

Shen Zhiyi on the other end of the phone seemed relieved and said, "I don't know your current contact information yet, so I can only call you on your landline."

"Yeah, I haven't told you yet. I'll call you later."

"Okay, well, miss, the person you asked me to meet has arrived. Do you need me to pick you up?"

"No need for me to come over now. You take care of them."

"Yes, ma'am."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qi didn't have time to think about the previous question anymore. She changed her clothes, tidied herself up and was about to go out. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ming Luochun who was about to knock on the door. He was holding a small basin in his hand, and there was something black in it.

Jiang Qi's nostrils twitched slightly, and a strong smell of medicine hit her face, making her take two steps back.

"Sister." Ming Luochun called out and was about to move closer.

Jiang Qi hurriedly stopped him, "Stand there, don't move!"

Ming Luochun stopped in his tracks and looked at her at a loss.

"You, what are you holding in your hand?"

"This is a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine I made myself. It's for soaking. Sister, your hands will feel much better after soaking them." Ming Luochun explained, then paused and lowered his eyes to apologize to Jiang Qi guiltily: "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't know I would scare you."

Jiang Qi had not yet forgotten who the person in front of her was, and hurriedly shouted, "No, no." Did she deserve to be asked to apologize to her?

"I just choked a little, it's okay." Jiang Qi said, trying to suppress the urge to frown and run. She went to his side and welcomed him in to sit down.

"Does this smell pungent?" After putting the medicine on the table, Ming Luochun asked Jiang Qi seriously.

Jiang Qi rolled up her sleeves and replied, "Not really, I just don't like the smell of medicine. Can I just put it in there and soak it?"

"Yes."

After getting the answer, Jiang Qi put her hand in to soak it, and then the two of them became quiet again.

Jiang Qi felt a little uncomfortable, so she found a way to ask, "How long will this soak take?"

"Just a quarter of an hour."

"Did you make this medicine yourself?"

"Yes." The other party replied to her indifferently.

No matter how dumb Jiang Qi was, he could tell that the other person was in a bad mood. He could only actively mobilize his emotions and exclaimed: "Amazing! How come you can do everything!"

As a result, the other party looked at her like this, and his expression became even sadder. His lips lifted and then pursed. After a long time, he finally said a word.

"I'm sorry, sister. Have I caused you any trouble?" His eyes were filled with tears, as if he was about to cry out of guilt.

Jiang Qi was shocked. "What? What happened?"

"I didn't expect that you, sister, would not be able to get used to the smell of medicine. It was my fault for not thinking it through. I made you worry about me."

"Oh, what are you talking about? If there is any trouble, it's you who is being troubled. You just arrived at my house and you're already busy running around, and you're still worried about my hand. I can't thank you enough."

After listening to her, Ming Luochun raised his eyes and looked at her expectantly, cautiously asking her for confirmation, "Really?"

Jiang Qi replied with what she thought was the most sincere expression and a firm voice: "Really."

"I'm glad that my sister isn't angry." A smile finally appeared on that delicate face again.

Jiang Qi also breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that everything was fine. She didn't dare to let this ancestor suffer any injustice in front of her. But why did she feel that the scene just now was so familiar?

"Sister." Ming Luochun called softly, interrupting Jiang Qi's thoughts.

"what happened?"

"I see that there are medicinal incense burning all over the house, especially where you rest, the fragrance is even stronger, but why can't you get used to the smell of medicine?" Ming Luochun asked the question in his mind.

Jiang Qi turned away when she heard his question and supported her chin with her other hand. She sighed, "Ah, it's because I smell it every day, every year. So I'm not used to it anymore."

"So that's how it is. I'll make a note of it."

His expression was as serious as that of a good student who was studious. Jiang Qi felt playful when seeing this.

Jiang Qi said softly in a slow tone: "You are the first person who can smell that this is the fragrance of medicine. It is used to cure my illness." After a pause, she continued: "Do you know what it is used to cure?" Her voice became softer and softer, and her smiling peach blossom eyes looked at him affectionately, like a bewitching enchantress.

This was Jiang Qi's tried and tested trick, but it didn't seem to work today.

Ming Luochun nodded seriously, "I know. It's for my sister to calm her mind."

Seeing that he was not affected at all, Jiang Qi felt a little frustrated and sat up straight immediately. Her voice returned to normal and she replied directly: "This is for my mental illness. I have a mental illness."

Jiang Qi didn't want to hide this from him. It would be best if he could feel scared and cancel the engagement on his own initiative.

But he didn't expect that when Jiang Qi looked at him, he looked at her with sympathy almost pity, "I know Grandma Jiang and mother-in-law have told me." Even his expression became much darker.

Suddenly, a bad premonition arose.

"What did my grandmother tell you?"
