“Make herbal tea.”
Herbal tea?
Gu Yi was puzzled, hot tea would be fine if it was cooled, why did he need these herbs, then he was overjoyed, the little girl must have thought of making herbal tea for him because he was scalded, he knew the little girl had him in mind.
He knew that she had him in mind. Thinking of this made his steps lighter!
If he hadn’t been holding Song Wangyue’s hand, he would have jumped up and down with joy.
It was a hot day at the end of June, even early in the morning, and when the three of them returned to the Yue Hak Lai Restaurant, their clothes were slightly damp.
The shopkeeper was standing at the entrance of the restaurant, looking both ways, wondering how the young master had been burnt, and whether it was serious. Would the young girl from the Song family take him to the pharmacy to have a look? At the same time, he also blamed himself for forgetting to dry the tea before giving it to the young master.
When she was in a hurry, she saw Gu Yi and Song Wan Yue walking hand in hand.
He rubbed his eyes in a panic and looked over again, and yes, it was the young master and Miss Song.
From so far away, he could see the young master’s mouth grinning to the back of his head, looking like the landlord’s stupid son! No, he was!
As the thought entered his head, the shopkeeper hurriedly pooh-poohed some saliva on the floor.
He wanted to go over to greet him, but as soon as he stepped forward, he thought of something and pulled his feet back, turning around and heading for the back of the hall, not forgetting to greet the men who were wiping down the tables and chairs, “Stop doing that and go to the back.”
The men stopped the work they were doing and went to the back.
“Boss Li!”
When he reached the entrance of the restaurant, seeing that the lobby was empty, Gu Yi shouted.
The shopkeeper was hiding behind the curtain, his ears pricked up to listen to the commotion outside, and when he heard Gu Yi call out to him, he quickly took a few steps back before answering, “Coming! Coming!”
He said, and quickly walked over to lift the curtain, “Young master, you can go back to ……”
The words stopped when he saw Song Wan Yue, “Song, Miss Song.”
Song Wangyue drew back her hand and nodded slightly towards him.
With her hand empty for a moment, Gu Yi instantly regretted shouting for the shopkeeper to come out and gave him a fierce glare.
The shopkeeper was glared at, baffled.
“Go and prepare something, the little girl wants to make herbal tea for me.”
“Yes.”
The shopkeeper subconsciously answered and turned around to go to the back, then remembering what Gu Yi had just said, he turned around again, “Herb, herb tea?”
“Yes.”
Gu Yi couldn’t hide his smugness, “The little girl saw that I was scalded by the hot tea, she felt sorry for me and said she would make me herbal tea.”
Looking at his cheerful and uncontrollable appearance, the shopkeeper wanted to cover his eyes.
How do you need to make herbal tea? Just let the hot tea cool! The young master had really been bewitched by Miss Song, he hadn’t even thought of this?
At this moment, he didn’t dare to say much, otherwise the young master wouldn’t know how to deal with him afterwards, so he asked in a fake manner, “Miss Song, do you know what I need to prepare?”
“Just prepare a small stove for me.”
See, he knew that their young master was the only one under the sun who could be fooled.
When he didn’t move, Gu Yi urged, “What are you waiting for? Go and get ready.”
“Just use the small stove dedicated to the young master’s cooking, Miss Song, please follow me.”
Song Wan Yue followed him to the small kitchen, which was clean and well-prepared, and the shopkeeper had personally brushed the pots several times.
“Please ask the shopkeeper to call a fellow to come and help me build the fire.”
He called for a mate to come over and make the fire.
“It’s all right, everyone, go out.”
The shopkeeper gave her a deep look.
Back when he had heard that she had kissed the young master in spite of the defences of men and women in order to save him, he had felt that Song Wangyue was a scheming one.
There were thousands of ways to save people under the sky, but he had never heard of kissing someone awake. As expected, this was really the case.
However, the young master liked it, and they, the subordinates, could not stop it. It was fine if she fooled the young master, that was the young master’s willingness, but she shouldn’t have taken them all for fools, sneering and pulling her lips down, “Don’t you need to bring some tea over?”
Song Wan Yue seemed to hear the strangeness in his tone and gave him a look, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked in a smile, “No need.”
The smile at the corner of her mouth was obvious, as if she had seen through his heart, or perhaps she was laughing at his ignorance.
The shopkeeper could see clearly, and the anger in his heart surged up, he did not want to bother with an eight or nine year old girl, but since this girl did not put him in her eyes, there was no need for him to be polite, he wanted to see how she could make herbal tea without tea leaves.
Not saying another word, he turned around and went out.
Song Wangyue also withdrew her gaze, poured all the Chinese herbs she bought into the pot, added some water and knelt down to refill the fire.
“I’ll do it!”
Gu Yi volunteered, not even rolling up his sleeves, and took a piece of firewood directly to fill the stove.
Song Wangyue grabbed his broad sleeve to avoid being burned by the fire.
As soon as Xiao Si saw this, he hurriedly came forward, “Young master, Miss Song, it’s better for me to do it.”
Gu Yi had never felt that Xiao Si had been so unenlightened and turned back to glare at him fiercely, “Get out!”
Xiao Si did not know what to do, but still obediently retreated, and when he reached the door, he thought that the room would be very hot in a while, and thoughtfully tied up the door curtain, and then guarded the door.
Gu Yi turned back, Song Wan Yue took two small stools and gave him one, Gu Yi took it and quietly placed it beside Song Wan Yue, sat down next to her, and by the way took another dry firewood and filled the stove.
“You just sit down, I’ll do it.”
Song Wangyue took the dry firewood and filled it into the stove with skilful movements.
“Little girl, you’re really capable, you can even do something as difficult as burning a fire.”
Gu Yi patted his horse’s back from the bottom of his heart.
The corners of the shopkeeper’s mouth twitched as he guarded the doorway, children from poor families could burn fires and cook at the age of four or five, this girl would be a fool if she didn’t know how to do so.
Song Wangyue didn’t respond to his words and said, “Move back a bit, be careful of the fire spilling out and burning your clothes later.”
“Oh.”
Gu Yi obediently answered and obediently moved back a finger’s distance, looking at the fine sweat breaking out on Song Wangyue’s forehead, he ordered, “Xiao Si, bring a fan.”
Xiao Si answered and quickly went to the room specially prepared for Gu Yi and brought out a folding fan, just as he reached the door, he was stopped by the shopkeeper, snatched the paper fan out of his hand and stuffed him with a futon fan, “Use this to cool down more.”
He didn’t care if that girl was hot or not, but the young master couldn’t get hot.
Xiao Si looked at the not-so-nice futon fan and hesitated a little.
“Send it in quickly, the young master’s clothes are soaking wet.”
Xiao Si hurriedly and quickly went in and handed the futon fan to Gu Yi, not daring to look at his face anymore, bowing his head and quickly exiting.
