Ye Chen comforted himself as he quietly took a step forward, cautiously moving to Pei Guanjing's side.
Pei Guanjing maintained his cold demeanor, not even glancing at him. He wore a serious expression, his gaze hollow as he stared into the void, seemingly intent on ignoring Ye Chen.
“Master...” Ye Chen called out softly, his voice as tender as a glutinous rice dumpling. The sound gently slipped into Pei Guanjing's ears, stirring the emotions he had finally managed to calm over the past few days, making them restless once more.
“Don’t call me Master,” Pei Guanjing replied coldly without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately fell silent and lowered his head. He couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. What’s with the attitude?
Seeing Ye Chen obediently lower his head after that remark stirred a flicker of pity in Pei Guanjing’s heart. He couldn’t help but imagine that Ye Chen must look pitiful now, with his brows furrowed and a face full of grievance.
So, he quickly softened his tone and awkwardly explained, “I didn’t mean to scold you.”
However, Ye Chen’s expression at that moment was one of disdain and eye-rolling. Still, he was genuinely taken aback by Pei Guanjing’s explanation.
Why was Pei Guanjing being so accommodating? Was he trying to placate him?
Ye Chen was adept at taking advantage of such situations. He promptly lifted his head, a bright smile returning to his face as he nodded obediently and chirped, “Mm. I understand.”
Seeing that smile, Pei Guanjing felt a jolt in his heart and helplessly began to rub his temples with his fingers.
That smile, that smile—sigh—it was just like the one from his dreams.
What should I do to stop thinking about that dream? At this moment, Pei Guanjing felt an increasing pain in his head.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen busily moved around as if nothing was wrong, cheerfully attending to his tasks.
He first took a clean bowl from the cupboard, then walked over to the pot and scooped a full bowl of noodles. Next, he skillfully added a spoonful of lard and several spoonfuls of beef meat sauce into the bowl. He then brought out a small dish of pickled vegetables he had secretly saved and gently placed it in front of Pei Guanjing.
"Master, here you go," Ye Chen said with a bright smile, his delicate features radiating a pleasing expression.
Seeing Ye Chen like this stirred something in Pei Guanjing's heart. It seemed that plans needed to be expedited; this military camp was not a place for Ye Chen to stay for long.
He had to find a way to take Ye Chen away from here soon.
Because the soft and tender way Ye Chen called him "Master" officially ended their five-minute cold war.
Time flowed like a gentle stream, quietly passing without a ripple.
As summer approached, the weather became unbearably hot. The soldiers in the military camp donned heavy armor and trained diligently under the scorching sun, resulting in many cases of heatstroke each day.
In the canteen, Ye Chen and the other apprentices quickly got busy. They divided their tasks clearly to ensure they could provide sufficient refreshments for the soldiers in time, preventing more people from collapsing.
However, recently, the burden on Ye Chen had grown heavier. He even noticed that several soldiers were casting him unfriendly glances, their eyes filled with greed akin to wolves eyeing their prey. That disgusting look made Ye Chen feel nauseous.
No matter how many medicinal pouches he carried, they were of little use now. As the temperature soared, his scent spread further, and some Zhong Yong could smell it from several meters away.
What should I do!
He had already taken the last pill to suppress Xin Xiang, and the deadline for losing control over it was drawing near. Ye Chen was anxious and desperate, yet he felt utterly helpless.
In his frustration, he could only try to recall the dosage that Pei Guanjing had used when preparing the medicine for Muer, attempting to mix it himself. However, Ye Chen couldn't afford to be too obvious about it; he would only experiment cautiously in the Medicine Hall while Pei Guanjing was busy treating the injured in the Medical Camp's hall.
But just a few days into his attempts, the war between the Wolf Tribe and Tianqi erupted once again.
