When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Xinyue smiled and replied, "Mr. Qiu, since you came so early, I guessed that you didn't have breakfast."

"Oh! The girl is so thoughtful. Look, there are so many... Osmanthus cake, kidney bean rolls, red bean porridge, and... Hey, what is this black thing? Is it a snack?"

Qin Yuechuan snatched it away and placed it in front of him.

"Tsk, you're so stingy. What delicious food is this? Why are you so protective of it?"

Qiu Chu's beard curled up in anger. He treated them so much and yet he couldn't even bear to serve them some snacks! What an ungrateful little bastard!

Xu Xinyue felt a little embarrassed and twisted her fingers: "Mr. Qiu, I will do it for you next time--"

"No!" Qin Yuechuan raised his head and stared at her seriously.

"Ah, my! I can't stop eating! You little brat is so stingy! You don't have to do it for me, little girl!"

Qiu Chu really couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the red bean porridge to the stone bench nearby and drank it with a slurp.

Qin Yuechuan ignored him and only served Xu Xinyue some snacks: "Don't pay attention to him, Yueyue, eat more."

Xu Xinyue blushed as she drank the red bean porridge from the bowl spoonful by spoonful.

Less than half an hour later, after breakfast, Qin Yuechuan glanced at Qiu Chu and said, "Stinky old man, you should also help Yueyue check her health."

"Me? I don't need it. I'm fine."

Qin Yuechuan pulled her wrist and said, "You also fell asleep for a while last night. I'll feel more at ease if I take a look."

Xu Xinyue couldn't persuade him, so she had to obey and handed her wrist to Qiu Chu.

Qiu Chu Qiu Chu snorted heavily and glared at Qin Yuechuan unhappily. This stinky boy! He really uses people forward instead of backward.

But he still took Xu Xinyue's pulse.

"The girl is fine, nothing's wrong."

Qin Yuechuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Xianyue put all the empty plates into the lunch box, wanting to create space for Qin Yuechuan and Qiu Chu to talk alone. She picked up the lunch box and said, "I'm going back first."

Qiu Chu rolled his eyes, jumped up and followed: "Hey, girl, I'll go with you. I haven't eaten enough yet. There must be more in the kitchen!"

Xu Xinyue was a little speechless, but she had no excuse to refuse his following.

Qiu Chu followed her back to the kitchen.

Xu Xinyue thought he really wasn't full, so she brought out a plate of red bean rolls and handed it to him with both hands: "Mr. Qiu, this is for you."

Qiu Chu's expression was completely different from his playful attitude just now. He took the plate and spoke in a much more serious tone:

"Girl, do you know?"

Xu Xinyue kept smiling, she just thought Qiu Chu was testing her.

Rouhe asked back: "What do you know, Mr. Qiu?"

"You can fool that brat, but you can't fool me. I'll know once I feel his pulse. He even said he slept well last night, but I felt something was wrong. The drug was so potent that he could wake up from the pain even if he fainted. How could he still sleep?

I can figure it out with my toes, it's probably you, he said you were the one who treated him before."

Seeing that he was so straightforward, Xu Xinyue didn't try to hide it anymore. She put away her smile, lowered her eyelashes, and whispered back, "Mr. Qiu, can you just pretend you don't know?"

"No, what are you two doing... huh? I don't know what to say."

Xu Xianyue put away the red bean roll again, turned around and said:

"He didn't want me to know, he just wanted me not to worry about him and wanted me to be happier.

Since it has come to this and there is no way to stop it, I might as well just go along with him and pretend I don't know.

This way he will feel more at ease. I am happy and he is also at ease, isn’t that great?”

Qiu Chu really didn't know what to say now.

No, are all dolls like this nowadays?

"So, Mr. Qiu, just promise me."

"Well, alright, this will make it easier for me. I don't have to bother getting you out of here. If you two are willing to cooperate, what else can I say?"

Only then did Xu Xinyue smile from the bottom of her heart.

"How does Mr. Qiu plan to treat him? Do you want to go back to Kyoto with him?"

"Well...it would indeed be much more convenient if I were next to him."

"Then he usually——"

“On a normal day, I can suppress my internal strength like an ordinary person. When necessary, I can activate 60% to 70% of my internal strength. However, I will suffer a little after activating my internal strength.

Therefore, it is better to use less internal energy. Your medicine seems to be quite effective, you can continue to use it to relieve pain.

That brat said he slept well. "

"Well...I see."

There wasn't much Han Yang grass left, and there weren't many painkillers that could be made. I thought Qiu Chu might have some: "Does Mr. Qiu still have any Han Yang grass?"

"I don't have that precious thing."

It seems I can only use it sparingly.

Xu Xinyue didn't want to ask any more questions. She was about to leave when she accidentally saw a shiny, red wooden hairpin pinned to Qiu Chu's gray hair.

Her eyes were glued to the hairpin, her breathing was slightly short, and she asked Qiu Chu: "Mr. Qiu... where did you get the hairpin on your head?"

A ray of light seemed to shine through Xu Xinyue's heart. The longing and expectation in her heart grew stronger and stronger. She couldn't help but reach out for the wooden hairpin.

Qiu Chu noticed her abnormality, touched her hair and exclaimed, "Ah!"

Pull out the wooden hairpin.

"This is from the body of the person my disciple asked me to save. When I was checking his pulse, I just casually put it on his head and it remains there until now.

There was also a box that seemed to be quite valuable, but another of my apprentices sold it to go drink, leaving this hairpin with me."

"The person who was saved - who was saved! The box, what kind of box is it!"

Xu Xinyue's heartbeat was so fast, her mind was filled with light, and she couldn't help but hold Qiu Chu's arm: "Please, Mr. Qiu, tell me!"

"He hasn't woken up yet. He's a man, about 30 years old. I don't know his name, but my apprentice seems to know it. She seems to know the man.

The box is carved with patterns, red, not big, and is used to hold the hairpin." Qiu Chu was not very good at describing it, so he spoke briefly and to the point.

Xu Xinyue's tears welled up in her eyes, and she didn't bother to wipe them away. She still held his arm tightly: "Your apprentice said he knew him. What's your apprentice's name?"

"Her name is Qiu Ning, what's wrong?"

Xu Xinyue let go, her knees softened, and she sat on the ground, covering her face with her hands and sobbing: "Qiu Ning... I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it, you all have the last name Qiu."

Was it Qiu Ning who saved Dad?

So a few days ago, when Mr. Qiu said he was going back to save people, was he going to see his father?

On the carriage that day, she said that she had to leave Kyoto because of her master's order. Is that true?!

Qiu Chu was a little flustered. He squatted down, not knowing where to put his hands. "Hey, baby, what happened to my apprentice? Why are you so excited because he saved someone?"

Xu Xinyue didn't care about being rude and put her arm around Qiu Chu's neck: "Mr. Qiu, thank you, really, really, thank you!"

The more Xu Xinyue spoke, the louder she cried. Qin Yuechuan, who heard the news, hurried over and saw two people, one kneeling and the other half squatting.

Xu Xinyue hugged Qiu Chu and cried bitterly.

"Yueyue, what's wrong? What happened?"

Elder Qiu didn't know how to explain for a moment. He patted Xu Xinyue's back and comforted her in an elder's tone: "Don't cry, baby. It's okay. I saw that you were very worried about that person. He is fine. He was half dead when he came. I brought him back."

Xu Xinyue stood up with sobs and kowtowed three times solemnly to Qiu Chu.

"Hey, baby, kowtow, that brat next to you will not give me a good life. Get up quickly."

"He wouldn't dare! Mr. Qiu."

Xu Xinyue said subconsciously.

Qin Yuechuan, who had just arrived, pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

It seems there is nothing much to say.
