It was almost evening when Wang Manman finally returned with large and small bundles of spices and medicinal materials.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at them and looked toward Daohua, “What do you need so many spices and medicinal materials for?”
Daohua gave him a glance, “Aren’t you, third brother, and fourth brother going to the Northern Frontier? I need to prepare more medicine and sleeping powder for you.”
Xiao Yeyang smiled, “That’s not necessary, we still have plenty left from before.”
Daohua ignored him and simply said, “If it’s not used this time, it can be used the next. After all, having more self-defense items is definitely useful and harmless.”
With that, she took the spices and medicinal materials into the dispensary and didn’t come out until dinner time. After eating, she went back into the dispensary.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang felt a bit regretful, as his time with Daohua was reduced; but watching her busily working for him filled him with even more secret joy and happiness.
He had intended to accompany Daohua in the dispensary, but De Fu came looking for him with a letter, so Xiao Yeyang had to turn around and go back to his room to read the letter.
In the main hall, Gu Jian and Granny Gu watched the actions of the two young people.
Seeing Granny Gu’s worried expression, Gu Jian consoled her, “Sister, the child has grown up and has his own ideas, we should avoid interfering too much.”
Granny Gu sighed, “Yeyang is the only relative who has stayed by our side, how can I bear to see him so young and heading to the battlefield?”
Gu Jian was silent for a moment, “You have to believe in Yeyang, that boy has always had an ambitious drive, you have to let him prove himself.”
Granny Gu fell silent.
Gu Jian, “Alright, it’s getting late, let me help you to rest.”
Granny Gu nodded and with Gu Jian’s support, returned to her room.
Close to the start of the “zi” hour (23:00), Daohua finally came out of the dispensary rubbing her neck. As she stepped out, she saw Xiao Yeyang standing under the eaves, “You haven’t gone to bed yet?”
Xiao Yeyang did not reply, but moved closer, took hold of Daohua’s hand, and felt it was somewhat icy. Frowning, he immediately wrapped his hands around hers to warm them before he spoke, “Didn’t I tell you? There’s enough medicine for injuries; you don’t need to rush this.”
Daohua replied perfunctorily, “I know.” Then she looked at Xiao Yeyang, “By the way, you haven’t told me exactly which day you’re leaving?”
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment, “Originally, we’d decided to leave at the end of the month, but I just received word that the situation on the Northern Frontier is very unstable, and they want us to deliver the weapons as soon as possible, so, we have to leave tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Daohua’s eyes widened in shock, “Tomorrow?!”
Due to her surprise, her voice was a bit loud, and worried about disturbing the two elders, Xiao Yeyang quickly placed his hand over Daohua’s mouth.
The soft touch from his palm caused Xiao Yeyang’s heart to flutter, and seeing Daohua with wide, bright, and clear black pupils looking at him, he was momentarily enamored.
While he was lost in thought, Daohua took his hand away and whispered, “Leaving tomorrow? Does it have to be so rushed? I haven’t finished making the Ginseng Fortifying Pills yet.”

Xiao Yeyang regained his focus, “What Ginseng Fortifying Pills?”
Daohua quickly explained, “This Ginseng Fortifying Pill is made with multiple medicinal materials; one pill can maintain your basic energy consumption for one to two days.”
“Nobody knows exactly what the situation is like in the Northern Frontier. I’ve read some booklets about war, and many mention soldiers trapped in dangerous places, running out of ammunition and food, unable to find anything to eat. In such situations, the Ginseng Fortifying Pill could really come in handy.”
Xiao Yeyang’s expression turned serious, and he had to admit, the scenario Daohua described did happen on the battlefield from time to time. If such pills really existed, they could certainly save many soldiers’ lives.
“Can I see these Ginseng Fortifying Pills you mentioned?”
Daohua, “Of course.” Saying so, she brought Xiao Yeyang into the dispensary.
Seeing the ingredients laid out on the table, Xiao Yeyang immediately abandoned the idea of mass-producing the Ginseng Fortifying Pills.
It was unaffordable.
Just look at the ingredients being used: Hundred-Year Ginseng, top-notch Astragalus, Poria, Prepared Rehmannia, Szechuan Lovage, Angelica, and other such medicinal materials, each one incredibly valuable. How could they afford this?
Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but ask, “How much silver did all this cost you?”
Since they were leaving the next day, Daohua busied herself once again with the medicinal materials, while responding, “It didn’t cost any silver, these were all produced on my own estate.”
Xiao Yeyang picked up the Hundred-Year Ginseng from the table, “This is from your estate as well?”
“`
Daohua glanced over and without even blinking stated, “Those were collected.”
Inspecting the ginseng in his hand with curiosity, Xiao Yeyang said, “Yan Yiyi, I’ve noticed you seem to have a particular knack for acquiring ginseng. It’s not easy to find ginseng over a hundred years old, yet you’ve given me no fewer than three.”
Daohua paused in handling the herbs, stood up with hands on hips, and retorted, “Xiao Yeyang, I’m preparing medicine for you, and you’re here asking all sorts of questions and distracting me. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Xiao Yeyang’s expression froze, and he set down the ginseng before walking over, “Alright, I’ll stop asking. But you’re still preparing medicine? It’s already so late, go back and get some sleep.”
Without even lifting her head, Daohua replied, “I would like to go to sleep, but aren’t you leaving tomorrow? I have to prepare some for you. Even if they might not be used, having them with you will give me some peace of mind, right?”
Xiao Yeyang fell silent, “Is there anything I can help with?”
Daohua shook her head, “You don’t know how to process herbs, don’t be a hindrance. You have a long journey tomorrow, go get some sleep.”
Xiao Yeyang objected, “I’ll just keep you company here.”
Daohua insisted, “Really, it’s not necessary. Go to sleep.”
Xiao Yeyang directly walked over and sat down on a nearby chair, “I’ll just sit here. You do your work, I won’t disturb you.”
Dahua glanced at him, “If you get sleepy, go to sleep on your own.”
Xiao Yeyang nodded, “Okay.”
In the pharmacy, the candlelight flickered while Daohua bustled back and forth, with Xiao Yeyang reclining in the chair, silently observing.
Only when the sky started to brighten did Daohua finally stop, looking over the several dozen Ginseng Fortifying Pills she had made, a triumphant smile appeared on her face.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang asleep in the chair, Daohua tiptoed over, intending to playfully startle him awake, but upon getting closer, she found herself captivated by the sleeping man’s countenance.
Standing in front of the chair, leaning over, Daohua closely observed Xiao Yeyang’s distinct facial features.
Brows long and thick, lashes also dense, a prominent nose, and lips well-defined, neither thin nor thick.
Hmm…
Who would have thought this guy was actually quite refined-looking? He was far more obedient asleep than when awake.
While gazing at Xiao Yeyang’s sleeping face, Daohua reached out a curious hand, gently tugging at his eyebrows, then touched his lashes and nose, but hesitated when it came to his lips.
Xiao Yeyang, who had been awake since Daohua got close, waited for a while but didn’t see her next move. He couldn’t help but tease, “If you don’t continue, I might wake up.”
Daohua, startled by Xiao Yeyang’s voice, took a quick step back and accidentally hit a medicine pestle, causing her to involuntarily stagger backward.
Xiao Yeyang quickly stood up and grabbed Daohua.
Relieved at not having fallen, Daohua patted her chest and said, “That scared me to death!” Only after her heartbeat calmed did she realize she was being held by Xiao Yeyang, and she squirmed a bit, giggling awkwardly, “Xiao Yeyang, you can let go of me now.”
Instead of releasing her, Xiao Yeyang playfully looked at Daohua, “Coming onto me early in the morning like this… doesn’t seem right, does it?”
Perhaps because he had just woken up, his voice was a bit husky, adding a different kind of allure.
Daohua zoned out for a second before reacting like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, bristling, “Who’s coming onto you? Let me tell you, eat all you like but watch what you say. You must be dreaming.”
Her voice was not quiet, but it lacked conviction.
Seeing her puffing up her eyes in an adorable attempt to appear indignant, Xiao Yeyang pulled her closer to himself, lowered his head to her ear, and whispered, “What goes around comes around. Tell me, how should I repay the favor?”
Daohua was a bit stunned, not just by Xiao Yeyang’s words but also because he was speaking so close to her ear, with his warm breath on her ear and neck, making her entire body freeze.
Xiao Yeyang looked down at the person in his arms with a smile, suddenly remembering how Daohua had closed her eyes under the peach tree, and his head involuntarily lowered.
Just as Xiao Yeyang’s lips were about to meet Daohua’s, she came to her senses, pushed him away, and ran off without looking back.
Xiao Yeyang didn’t follow her. After Daohua left, he patted his own rapidly thumping chest and broke into a hearty chuckle.
Daohua, having darted out the door and hearing laughter from the pharmacy, stamped her foot and swiftly ran back to her room.
Embarrassed again!
