Ye Xiuyuan wanted to impress Lan Wanyu, so he deliberately picked up the water ladle from the ground, his smile bright.
"Senior Sister, don’t worry, I’m fine. This is just a good opportunity to exercise," he said, lifting the water bucket and turning to walk inside. However, he didn’t notice the ditch beneath his feet and stumbled, falling hard. Not only did he end up covered in dirt, but he also crushed a patch of spiritual plants in the process.
Lan Wanyu hurried over to help him up and noticed several small cuts on his back. The leaves of the Tiger Bee Grass were not only sharp but also poisonous.
Ye Xiuyuan felt a tingling pain on his back and instinctively reached to scratch it, but he couldn’t quite reach. His face turned pale.
"Senior Sister, what’s happening to me?"
Lan Wanyu examined him closely and found that his wounds were more severe than usual, showing signs of redness and swelling, with small rashes forming nearby. Her expression turned serious.
"You have a sensitive constitution; you can’t come into contact with Tiger Bee Grass. You’ve been injured by its leaves and have been poisoned."
"What should I do?" he asked anxiously.
"It’s not a big deal; I’ll take you to apply some medicine," she replied. She picked up the water bucket along with the ladle and frowned at the crushed spiritual plants in the field, feeling a slight knot of worry in her heart.
"If only Xiao Liu were here; he would have managed this properly."
On their way, Ye Xiuyuan sensed Lan Wanyu’s low mood and hesitated. "Senior Sister, it’s my clumsiness that has caused you trouble."
Before she could respond, a voice interrupted them.
"Junior Brother Ye, why do you look so glum? Did something unhappy happen?"
It was Yu Miaoyin who approached them. She pulled out a wooden crab toy from her bag; as soon as it landed in Ye Xiuyuan's palm, it began to scuttle around with a delightful clicking sound, making him chuckle despite himself.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he said, "I accidentally caused trouble for Senior Sister Four; I feel quite bad about it." He looked at Lan Wanyu apologetically.
Hearing that he had merely knocked over the water bucket and crushed some plants, Yu Miaoyin was taken aback.
"What’s the big deal? If the spiritual plants are damaged, we can just replant them. Besides, Senior Sister Four has plenty of space in her medicinal garden; it won’t make much difference."
"But you’re hurt on your back; that’s what really matters," Lan Wanyu interjected.
Though she felt uncomfortable hearing Yu Miaoyin's lightheartedness regarding his mishap, she still nodded in agreement.
Ye Xiuyuan looked up with a smile of gratitude. "With both of you treating me this way, I truly don’t know how to repay you."
Afterward, he watched as Lan Wanyu's favorability dropped a little more.
Lan Wanyu still wore a faint smile, but the warmth did not reach her eyes.
Ye Xiuyuan felt a pang in his heart, a chill creeping over him.
He forced a smile and said, "Sister, are you still angry with me? I know I did something wrong, but I truly didn't mean to. Please forgive me this once."
Upon hearing this, Yu Miaoyin shot a glare at the girl in blue before turning back to smile.
"What nonsense are you saying? Your Fourth Senior Sister is not the kind of person who would hold grudges against you.
You go inside and apply your medicine first; I'll have a word with your Fourth Senior Sister."
Ye Xiuyuan nodded and lowered his head as he left.
Once he was gone, Yu Miaoyin tugged at Lan Wanyu's sleeve, clearly dissatisfied.
"What's wrong with you today? Ye Shidi only damaged a small part of your spirit field, and you’re giving him the cold shoulder?"
Lan Wanyu's smile faded from her face, her brows knitting together in coldness.
"When did I give him the cold shoulder? Wasn't my smile good enough? Do I need to chase after him and coax him for it to count as being nice?"
Lan Wanyu was obsessed with her herbs; that piece of spirit field was especially precious to her.
Yu Miaoyin understood that Lan Wanyu had managed to smile earlier, which was already quite good, but she still felt somewhat displeased.
"It's just a small piece of spirit field; what can it do? Xiao Liu took care of your spirit field for years and also damaged some spiritual plants, didn't he?"
"That time it was just a patch of Tiger Bee Grass."
When Lan Wanyu found out, she had been furious, vowing to kick Qi Xiao out of the herb garden and forbidding him from coming back.
Later on, Qi Xiao came to apologize repeatedly for days until she finally calmed down.
Qi Xiao had worked hard for many years taking care of her herb garden, yet she had been so strict with him.
But when it came to Ye Xiuyuan's reckless mistake, she was expected to put on a good face and generously forgive him.
Not only that, but she also had to endure criticism.
Lan Wanyu took a deep breath, her thoughts tangled; the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt inside.
If she could treat Ye Xiuyuan with such kindness, then what did her previous attitude towards Qi Xiao amount to?
"Think whatever you want."
"If you think my attitude is bad, then you can go give him the medicine yourself; the antidote is in the first row of the medicine cabinet, third one over. You can get it yourself."
With that, Lan Wanyu turned and hurried away. Her somewhat flustered figure fell into Yu Miaoyin's eyes as one filled with anger; she wished she could leave immediately.
Why bother quarreling with a patient like this?
When did she become so petty?
Yu Miaoyin felt a surge of anger in her heart and couldn't help but raise her voice slightly, hands on her hips as she shouted at her.
What a miser, always nitpicking!
Although Ye Xiuyuan had entered the room, he was still paying attention to their commotion.
Yu Miaoyin stormed in, angrily found the ointment in the cabinet, and applied it to him.
Seeing the young man with his head down, biting his lip, looking dispirited, Yu Miaoyin couldn't help but be startled.
Did I hurt you?
Ye Xiuyuan silently shook his head, his eyes slightly red.
Was Senior Sister Lan really angry? It’s all my fault; I can’t do anything right! I meant well, but I ruined the precious spiritual plants in her garden.
Hearing this, Yu Miaoyin became even more furious.
Ye Shidi was already feeling so guilty; what more did Lan Wanyu want from him to calm down?
Was she really going to argue with a patient? Had her compassion as a healer been eaten by dogs?
She used to be so patient with Ye Shidi.
Yu Miaoyin reassured him, "It’s okay; your Fourth Senior Sister just has that kind of temperament. I’ll go talk to her later."
Hmph! She would definitely make Fourth Junior Sister apologize to Ye Shidi!
Ye Xiuyuan nodded, feeling somewhat reassured.
After applying the ointment, Yu Miaoyin instructed Ye Xiuyuan to rest well and then turned to find Su Lingyue.
She spun a tale about the incident, embellishing it as she recounted it to Su Lingyue.
"Senior Sister, Junior Brother is already feeling so guilty, and he’s injured and poisoned. Don’t you think Fourth Junior Sister’s attitude is excessive?"
"What do you want me to do about it?"
"Make Fourth Junior Sister apologize!"
They all lived together on Qingjing Peak; they were like family. Was it reasonable for her to put on a long face over a mere spiritual plant?
In the past, Xiao Liu would indulge her and apologize for even the smallest things regarding spiritual plants, but that didn’t mean the rest of us had to do the same!
She rolled her eyes. "Besides, how much is a piece of Tiger Bee Grass worth? I can just pay for it myself! To make such a fuss over something so trivial is just being petty!"
