When Gu Qingdai woke up, she was already in the familiar back room of the teahouse.
The person guarding the bed was Qin Liuer. Seeing that she finally woke up, she clapped her hands and laughed happily.
"Shopkeeper, you slept all day and all night."
Qin Liuer poured a bowl of hot water back for her and twisted a hot towel to wipe her face.
"I am..." Gu Qingdai was a little embarrassed to speak, and she didn't know where to start.
Qin Liuer knew what she wanted to ask, and sat back on the bed with a teasing smile, "It was Mr. Lian who sent you back."
Qin Liuer felt that this description was not accurate enough, so she changed her mind, "It was Mr. Lian who brought you back. His posture scared us. We thought you had been shot and died not long ago!"
Gu Qingdai almost choked as soon as she took a sip of hot water, "As for what? I've lost my hair."
"Second Master Lian brought you such a big bag of herbs and asked Mantang to cook them out for you on time and in the right amount. He stayed here late into the night last night."
"What?" Gu Qingdai almost jumped up from the bed.
Qin Liuer hurriedly comforted her and sat back on the soft pillow, "What are you excited about?"
"How would it be inappropriate for a young girl like me to let a man stay beside the bed for half the night before I leave the court? Gu Qingsong doesn't know how to kick people away? Am I his sister?"
Qin Liuer laughed so hard: "The second shopkeeper is here too, they are the two of you who can guard you together."
Qin Liuer always thought that Gu Qingdai never disdained the ethics of the previous dynasty, but she never expected that she would still be so shy.
Gu Qingdai is not afraid of that. She has been in contact with Lian Beichuan Yingyingchuochuo for such a long time. Although she cannot say that she understands him completely, he is still a gentleman.
She was just worried about whether he would look for the whereabouts of the treasure map in this room again when no one was around.
After a while, Gu Qingsong knocked on the door and came in with a hot medicinal soup.
Gu Qingdai pinched her nose and turned her head away, "It's too bitter, I don't want to drink it."
"Sister, you'd better drink it. I heard that these medicinal herbs are so expensive that even the second master almost moved the medicine shop back to you."
Gu Qingsong put the medicinal soup on the table, and looked at her with Qin Liu'er incomprehensively.
"Why are you two so weird? Why are you always staring at me and giggling?"
Gu Qingdai tried to pick up the bowl of bitter medicine soup, but it was too bitter and she didn't want to drink it at all.
"Sister, won't you explain what happened with Second Master Lian?" Gu Qingsong winked at Gu Qingdai with a smile.
Gu Qingdai gave him an annoyed look, picked up the bowl of bitter medicine soup and drank it all in one gulp.
She slammed the medicine bowl on the table, "Lian Beichuan and I have no personal relationship at all. It was just an accident on Faluan Mountain."
Qin Liuer and Gu Qingsong both showed expressions of disbelief.
"He is the one who helped the tea house to keep the card house popular. Shouldn't I give him some money?" Gu Qingdai evaded the important point and argued.
Gu Qingsong pulled up a stool and sat under Gu Qingdai's bed, "Who asked you that? He stayed here until midnight yesterday and refused to leave. If I hadn't been here to watch, he would have slept with you.
"
"You should have kicked him out a long time ago. He wants to take advantage of your sister. How can you let him go?"
"You are so haggard and haggard. Your clothes are dirty and your hair is dirty. How can I take advantage of you?"
"Gu Qingsong, why are you turning your elbows outward?"
"Also, Second Master Lian seems to be quite familiar with this room. He seems to come here more often than me? Can you please do it? Is there something wrong with you two?"
Gu Qingdai started to beat this kid, but Gu Qingsong ran away.
"If you really get along with Mr. Lian, our teahouse won't allow chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven? What a beautiful thing!"
Gu Qingdai jumped out of bed, pinched Gu Qingsong's ears and shouted: "I tell you, even if all men in this world die, I will not be with Lian Beichuan."
"It hurts, it hurts, sister, don't speak so harshly!" Gu Qingsong covered his ears and bent down to beg for mercy.
Gu Qingdai let go of him, panting and leaned back on the bed.
Qin Liuer Tan smiled and pushed Gu Qingsong out of the room, "Second shopkeeper, let your sister have a good rest."
As soon as the door opened, Lu Mingze was seen standing at the front of the door with a lot of supplements in his hand.
"Uh, is it convenient for me to go in?"
Lu Mingze has been waiting here for half a day, and he could vaguely hear most of what Gu Qingdai and Gu Qingsong said between them.
Gu Qingdai nodded to Qin Liuer, who then let Lu Mingze into the house.
"Are you feeling better?"
"It's nothing at all."
Gu Qingdai gave up her seat to Lu Mingze. Qin Liuer poured a cup of tea for him and then walked out of the back room.
"It really scared me that day."
Lu Mingze followed him all the way from the foot of Faluan Mountain to the medical center and then back to the Xingshi Teahouse.
However, everyone only remembered Lian Beichuan who was busy and busy, but no one noticed Lu Mingze who was silently following him.
"Lian Beichuan... Mr. Lian is just making a fuss out of a molehill. I must have ruined everyone's fun that day. I will treat everyone to a meal after I recover."
"There's no need to treat everyone to a meal. Why don't you treat me to a meal alone?"
Gu Qingdai repeatedly praised her, "Young Master Lu helped me again. I should treat you to this meal."
"Qingdai..." Lu Mingze lowered his eyes and smiled slowly.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Mingze organized his words and asked solemnly: "Do you like Lian Beichuan?"
Gu Qingdai shook her head like a rattle, how could she like Lian Beichuan?
"Then can you give me a chance? I'm serious, I like you." Lu Mingze stared at her affectionately, looking forward to her answer.
Since Lu Mingze asked himself so frankly, Gu Qingdai could no longer be as vague as before.
"Lu Mingze, I don't like you. I could have used the excuse of honoring my father for three years to excuse you, but I think it's not necessary. If I don't like you, I just don't like you."
"Where do I dissatisfy you?"
Lu Mingze was very unconvinced. It was not like he had never been in love before, there were always three or five in foreign countries and in Luancheng.
No woman has ever rejected him so simply and neatly.
He is the young boss of Lu Ji Company. He has lived abroad and seen the world, and his appearance is not incomparable.
"You satisfy me in every way, but I don't feel anything. Well... you are like my long-lost elder brother, you are so kind and approachable."
Lu Mingze raised his hand and rubbed his temples, "Am I that old?"
Gu Qingdai smiled brightly, "Are you older than me?"
"You don't leave me any hope at all, even if you flatter me a little? At any rate, you are now asking for help from our Lu family, so you are not afraid that I will encourage Lan Lan not to cooperate with you?"
Gu Qingdai looked at Lu Mingze solemnly, "If you take advantage of others' danger, then I won't do this business. All roads lead to Rome, right?"
"What else do you know about Rome?"
She could always reveal a side that he admired inadvertently.
Lu Mingze felt that he would regret missing her, "Don't think that you can defeat me like this. You are not married and I am not married. I still have a chance."
"No, you have no chance. I don't like men and I will never get married in this life. Just give up!"
