Sleeping With a Pet

"I'm not angry. It's just that this is the first time someone has cared about me so much. I'm not used to it." Bai Yihe looked at Qu Yao with a gentle gaze. "Thank you."

"Thank...What's the thank you for?"

Qu Yao clenched the gauze in her hand tightly. It had been a long time since she had received such sincere words like 'thank you' and 'sorry' that made her whole body go numb.

"I'm just on the way."

In the middle of the night on a stormy day, she was on the way to Bai Yihe's room next door to help him change his dressing and use her spiritual power to block the hole in the roof. She was really on the way!

Forget it. After all, the hole was created by her palm strike, so it was reasonable for her to help him.

Jing Yao threw Bai Yihe's foot away and looked around. "Your room is already flooded. Let's make do in my room today."

Bai Yihe wanted to decline, but Jing Yao picked him up and carried him to his room without waiting for him to say anything else.

No one has ever dared to reject this witch! This guy actually rejected me twice in one night?

Jing Yao sat in front of the tea table in a huff and stared at Bai Yihe, who was standing by the bed and didn't dare to sit down. He poured and drank tea without saying a word.

The teapot was empty.

"Hurry up and sleep!"

Jing Yao pushed him onto the bed, and then lay down next to him calmly. "It's so hard to sleep! Are you afraid that I'll cheat on you?"

Bai Yihe curled up in a corner and lay stiffly. "No, don't misunderstand. It's my first time sleeping with someone else, so it's a little..."

"Don't be shy. You're blind anyway," Jing Yao interrupted him. "Just treat it as if a pet is sleeping next to you!"

Later that night, as a pet, Qu Yao could not fall asleep, but the blind man next to her was fast asleep.

Bai Yihe was woken up by a loud noise. He subconsciously looked to his side and saw that Qu Yao was no longer there.

"Hey, Hey, Hey, be careful! Don't step on a hole in the roof before it's fixed. Our clinic will not be responsible if you fall and hurt yourself!"

Bai Yihe walked out while touching the door frame. "An Er? What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"

An Er ran over and held Bai Yihe's arm. "Sir, they are helping you repair the roof. Why didn't you call me when your roof collapsed? !"

Before he could wake up in the early morning, he heard Qu Yao rushing into the courtyard with four or five people. He thought something had happened, but when he followed her, he saw that Bai Yihe's roof had collapsed! He was so anxious that he instantly woke up.

The rainstorm had suddenly fallen last night. He thought it was the heavy rain that had broken the roof. After thanking Qu Yao, he started to instruct the workers to fix it.

"Where did Qu Yao go?" Bai Yihe asked.

"I don't know." An Er held Bai Yihe while she turned her head to look at the roof. "She brought these people here early in the morning, then she went out."

An Er helped Bai Yihe to the middle of the courtyard before she realized something. "Sir, why are you..."

"What's wrong?"

An Er looked at Qu Yao's room, then at Bai Yihe collapsed roof. "It's nothing."

Bai Yihe let go of An Er's hand. "You stay here and look after it. Remember to pay after it's fixed. I'm going out to pick herbs."

"Picking herbs again?" An Er grabbed his wrist. "Sir, you've been going out to pick herbs every day for the past few days and you didn't let me follow you. What kind of herbs are you looking for?"

"It's nothing. Just look after the clinic."

An Er stared at him aggrievedly. She was reluctant to let go of his hand.

Usually, he was the one who led the way to pick herbs. However, ever since Qu Yao came, Bai Yihe went out to pick herbs alone. He left early and returned late. No one knew what kind of herbs he was looking for.

No matter what kind of herbs he was looking for, he had to take care of himself too!

Precious herbs were usually found in the mountains and forests. It had just rained heavily last night, so the path of picking herbs was definitely dangerous. How could a blind man like him ensure his safety?

"No! The mountain road is slippery. What if something happens to you? No matter what, you can't go today!"

This was the first time An Er had gone against Bai Yihe's wishes so forcefully. Although Bai Yihe usually looked gentle, he was actually very strict with his subordinates. Moreover, his medical skills were superb. He was kind and had a great love for them. Therefore, everyone respected him very much.

Bai Yihe did not say anything and pulled away An Er's hand. He propped up his blind cane and walked away alone, leaving behind An Er, who was sulking.
