499. Chapter 499: Seniority placed here

「I feed him to drink? 」

Yin Li's voice suddenly rose considerably.

Upon hearing that.

The old doctor gave Yin Li a look and said, "You're his fiancée; if you don't feed him, are we supposed to?"

Yin Li: ……

She and Cheng Jinyu aren't even friends, let alone fiancée!

Where did he get the idea that she's Cheng Jinyu's fiancée?

He came to his senses.

Yin Li spoke up to explain: "I'm not his fiancée; I and he are just, just friends."

Upon learning that was the case.

The old doctor apologetically said, "Miss, sorry, I thought you were his fiancée..."

They went out together late at night.

Even if they aren't that kind of relationship, it's probably not what she said, right?

What he was thinking.

Yin Li, of course, didn't know that; after the old doctor left, she sat by the bed, staring at Cheng Jinyu and said, "It's also because you met me today; otherwise, look at how you'd be."

She originally wanted to ask someone to send a message to Qiao Sheng and the others, but since curfew was about to start, she had to give up.

During curfew, one cannot walk on the streets late at night.

If one is seen by the patrolling yamen runners...

That would get one arrested and taken to the yamen for interrogation, and possibly beaten with a board.

The medicine, once decocted, was sent over.

The medicine that Yin Li and the medicine boy fed together.

Before going to sleep, the old doctor gave Yin Li a few instructions, then had someone prepare some porridge to keep warm.

Cheng Jinyu then vomited several times, bringing up the medicine he had just swallowed.

The old doctor then had some more medicine administered.

They kept at it until midnight before it finally settled.

Yin Li no longer wanted to move at this point; after the old doctor and others went to sleep, she sat by the bed guarding Cheng Jinyu for less than two ke, then fell asleep leaning on the bed.

Cheng Jinyu slept until dawn and then woke up.

Upon waking.

He immediately felt extremely hungry, his gaze falling on Yin Li, and many images flashed through his mind.

Did she bring him here?

Where is this?

Cheng Jinyu lifted the blanket, preparing to open the door to look.

Yin Li suddenly opened her eyes: "You can finally be considered awake; do you know you almost lost your life last night? As a Martial Scholar, you actually indulged yourself like this."

I...

Cheng Jinyu opened his mouth but hadn't spoken a few words when his stomach growled.

Wait.

Although Yin Li was angry, she still didn't neglect Cheng Jinyu; when she went to the kitchen, the porridge had already cooled, so she reheated it and brought it over.

Eat up; tell me if there's anything you want to eat.

After thanking her, Cheng Jinyu picked up the spoon and began eating the porridge.

He ate while thanking Yin Li.

Finished eating.

Cheng Jinyu asked Yin Li: "You took care of me here all night?"

Upon hearing him say that.

Yin Li let out a soft hum and said: "The clinic didn't send anyone to look after you; if I don't look after you, who will? You have no idea how much trouble you caused earlier; now everyone's probably still asleep."

Sorry, thanks for the trouble.

Cheng Jinyu inevitably felt a bit embarrassed.

Yin Li stared at Cheng Jinyu and said: "No need for pleasantries; I helped you only because you're so close to Sister Qiao Sheng; otherwise I wouldn't have lifted a finger."

She calls Qiao Sheng elder sister.

Cheng Jinyu calls Qiao Sheng Aunt Qiao.

Then wouldn't she also be his aunt?

Thinking of that.

Yin Li lightly patted Cheng Jinyu's shoulder and said: "You call Qiao Sheng elder sister and aunt; from now on just call me Aunt Yin; if you need any help, come find me."

Cheng Jinyu slightly twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Calling you Aunt Yin, you look even younger than me!"

Yin Li's baby face indeed looks quite youthful.

Yin Li replied to Cheng Jinyu: "Whether I'm older or younger than you, what's the big deal? Even if I'm younger than you, you still have to call me Aunt Yin; seniority is placed here."
