The room was very narrow because of the drawers containing medicinal herbs. There was not much free space, and there was also a table, so the light was not very bright.
It's very narrow, very dark, and very... suitable for sleeping. Especially there is a faint herbal fragrance in the room, which makes people fall asleep.
Qin Ran pushed open the door and saw Li Shiyin sleeping soundly on the table, with the herbal medicine book pressed under her face, making her already chubby face look even more puffy.
It was an exaggeration to say that the table was flooded, but the book was indeed flooded, and the pages became wet. Qin Ran could only sigh that he didn't bring his phone with him when he traveled through time, otherwise he could take a picture of this scene and play it on loop around the world when Li Shiyin became a powerful person...
Thinking this in his mind, he looked at the sleeping face of the girl in the darkness from the backlight of the door.
The girl has fair and delicate skin, which matches the dark yellow pages of the book; her brush-like eyelashes have a unique beauty; her pouting mouth... crystal saliva is flowing from the corners of her mouth, and her lips are indeed more rosy.
"It does look good... No! Her face must have been stained black by the ink." Qin Ran suppressed the strange thoughts in his heart, shook his head pretentiously, and sighed that the girl was not a good person.
After standing at the door for a while, he walked in lightly, found a chair, sat down opposite the table, took out a book from his Qiankun bag, opened it and read it quietly.
Li Shiyin didn't wake up until the sunlight shone in from the window. She opened her eyes hazily and saw the sunlight shining on the book from the window behind her. Her saliva was reflecting on the pages.
She was stunned for a moment, and in a trance she thought that she had fallen asleep in class again. She sat up hurriedly and looked forward, but she did not see the old teacher with a white beard, but a handsome young man.
The young man was reading a book, leaning back in his chair with a leisurely expression. The sunlight shone in through the window behind him, shining on him, and he seemed to be glowing.
"The old man has become younger?"
This was Li Shiyin's first reaction. She was about to admit her mistake when she suddenly realized that the old master was not so gentle and should have punished him with a ruler. This couldn't be the old master. Then she realized that this was the master she had just worshipped yesterday.
Her consciousness slowly drove the sleepiness out of her mind, and she finally remembered that her master had asked her to recite the herbs...
"Awake?" Qin Ran held the book against his chest and squinted at Li Shiyin in the sunlight.
"Wake up... wake up..." Li Shiyin answered hesitantly. At this time, the shame of being caught for being lazy and the pain of drooling while sleeping
The feeling of shame exploded in her mind, making her want to find a hole to crawl into, but the master's gentle tone finally allowed her to speak.
Even though he lowered his head like a child and admitted his mistake, and even though his face was red.
"How much did you remember?" Qin Ran asked. He moved his eyes downwards to look at the wet page with the words stained by saliva. As expected, it was the first page.
Li Shiyin also looked at the book and saw the wet marks on it. She hurriedly closed the book as if to cover up her mistake.
“Ah…” Qin Ran shook his head in a mature manner, looking disappointed. He closed his book, stood up, and said, “Maybe it’s because you’re new here and didn’t sleep well last night, or maybe the milk you drank this morning contained too much spiritual energy and your body can’t handle it. Anyway, take a rest first and go back and have lunch first.”
Li Shiyin thought about it, and thought about how she was studying in the academy. She wanted to say that maybe it wasn't an objective reason, but she didn't say it in the end. She nodded and agreed, "It's the milk in the morning. Drinking it makes people sleepy."
"Let's go!" Qin Ran didn't say much. He raised his hand and took the book back from Li Shiyin's hand.
“Master…” Li Shiyin felt embarrassed and reached out to snatch the book back because there was evidence of her crime on it.
But Qin Ran ignored her, turned around and walked out, his magic power circulated, the saliva on the book evaporated, and with a flip of his hand, he put the book into his Qiankun bag.
Li Shiyin had no choice but to follow Qin Ran out of the pharmacy with a red face and head down.
When she came outside, Li Shiyin found that the sun had already set, and it was probably afternoon. She remembered that when she entered the pharmacy in the morning, it was not yet eight o'clock. She was supposed to study, but she slept until now.
Qin Ran walked in front and quietly turned his head to look at Li Shiyin. He found that Li Shiyin was lowering her head with a look of regret on her face. This reminded him of the appearance of those classmates every time they walked out of the study room when he was in college.
He suddenly felt nostalgic and laughed out loud, "Is it more comfortable to sleep here than in bed?"
"Ah?" Li Shiyin didn't react. Was he just chatting or asking a question? But after a day of understanding this master, she felt that the master should be asking her seriously. She thought about it and answered truthfully, "Indeed... Indeed."
Qin Ran shook his head and said, "If I were giving you a lecture, you would definitely sleep better."
"Hmm..." Li Shiyin actually agreed with this statement, because every time the old man gave a lecture, she felt particularly sleepy.
, but she sensed an inexplicable danger and did not speak, just pondering.
“Before…” Qin Ran’s tone was full of nostalgia, “A long time ago, a classmate used the audio of the advanced mathematics teacher’s class as a lullaby to sleep at night, and it was very effective.”
Li Shiyin looked up at Qin Ran's back and felt a little desolate.
The master has a lot of stories! She thought, and kept staring at him, but as she was watching, the master suddenly turned around. She didn't notice that their eyes met. She was inexplicably panicked and lowered her head.
Qin Ran was also a little panicked, and quickly turned around and continued, "If...if you can't sleep in the future, you can also listen to the audio of my lecture..."
It was just normal banter, but the person with something to hide thought there was something wrong with the words, so he couldn't continue, and his voice became smaller and smaller, until it was so small that it could not be heard.
Li Shiyin was panicking when she suddenly realized that the master's voice was not right...
They walked to the first floor, out of the door, and onto the grass outside, by the river. She listened to the sound of a waterfall not far away, and realized that the master seemed to be shy, more shy than she was...
Realizing this, she seemed less shy and raised her head, looking straight at Qin Ran's back.
She is the eldest daughter of the Northern Chu Li family. She is a woman of letters who can bring peace to the world with her pen (×) and a woman of martial arts who can decide the fate of the world on horseback. How could she behave like a child
Qin Ran in front of him could never have imagined that just a few words of casual chat would ruin his image as a master. He walked in front, his heart beating wildly...
It's not that he has any strange thoughts about his apprentice. The apprentice seems to be underage and has committed a crime, although girls in Beichu can get married at the age of fourteen; he really doesn't have any dirty thoughts, this is his apprentice, although she is so beautiful and cute; no, no, no, he is a gentleman and will never do such a beastly thing. Even if he stays at home for another twenty years, he will not fall in love with a girl casually.
"I must maintain the majestic image of a master!" He warned himself secretly, took a deep breath, and quietly straightened his chest and head to make himself look taller.
Of the two masters and apprentices, one was trying to maintain his own collapsed image and strangle the strange sprouts in his heart; the other was quietly pushing down the image of his master in his heart and planting an unknown seed on the ruins of that image.
They walked out of the research building, crossed the river, and came to the living room of the residence. Qin Ran went into the kitchen to cook, while Li Shiyin sat in the living room, holding her hot face in her hands, not knowing what she was thinking.
