When the time was up, Yunyi swiftly removed the silver needles, "Take the Pills home, take one in the morning and one in the evening. Come back in three days for the second acupuncture session, and I’ll adjust the dosage as needed."
The woman was very straightforward, she took the prescription Yunyi gave her, paid for the medicine, and left.
Yunyi had been observing her from the shadows, and only after noticing nothing unusual did she feel at ease.
She knew that the police must have arranged for someone to secretly monitor her, otherwise, Jingrui wouldn’t have said those things, ensuring she could move around these days was definitely meant to lure the snake out of its hole.
So, her task was just to make sure she could walk around for these three days, that’s all.
After the woman left, Yunyi helped treat a few more patients before it was time to get off work.
Kong Jiaqiao came over, "Doctor Chu, you’re not eating in the cafeteria today, right? Your fiancé treats you really well, he cooks for you whenever he comes over, I’m so envious."
Yunyi chuckled, "Then you should hurry and find someone too, nurture them well, and they might be just as considerate."
Kong Jiaqiao blushed, "I won’t talk to you anymore, I’m going to the cafeteria to get food."
Saying that, she dashed away with her lunchbox and quickly disappeared.
When Yunyi returned to the small courtyard, Huo Jingrui had already finished cooking and even made porridge with Hongzao and rice for her.
Seeing her come in, he called out with a smile, "I’ve poured you warm water, wash your hands first, then we can eat."
Seeing the steamer on the stove reminded her that she had put dough in a basin the day before but forgot about it, and this guy had gone ahead and steamed it.
Originally, she had planned to steam it as dry food for her master and the others. Now it’s not needed. These two steamers of dry food are enough for her for many days. She wondered where her master and the others were now.
Huo Jingrui saw her staring at the steamer absent-mindedly, "I saw the dough you made was ready, so I went ahead and steamed some sweet triangles and rolls for you, with some left over for a few steamed buns."
Yunyi didn’t wash her hands but walked over to Huo Jingrui and hugged him, "I originally planned to steam them and send them to my master and the others, but now it’s not necessary."
Huo Jingrui lovingly patted her head, "I know you miss them, but it’s good they went back to Beijing. Elder Yuan can make use of his expertise, and Zining can go to school like a normal child and won’t have to endure others’ attitudes. We’ll see them often when we return to Beijing, too.
