A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 453: Breakfast of Endless Love

Si Yao returned to Sanxiu Medicine Store in a daze, still feeling depressed and frustrated about her recklessness and embarrassment tonight. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep until the cock crowed at four o'clock in the morning. She usually got up early at the morning to practice archery in the back mountain, but she slept until the morning hour before being awakened by Caiyi's knock on the door.

"Sister Si Yao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" When the door opened, Caiyi was shocked to see Si Yao's haggard face, and asked hurriedly with concern.

"I'm fine, what's wrong?" Si Yao was of course not in a position to speak clearly, so she just smiled faintly at Caiyi and then asked.

"The master saw that Sister Si Yao got up late today, so he asked me to come and see her. Is she really okay? But you..."

"You didn't sleep well last night because of a nightmare. It's okay. You can go and do your work." Before Caiyi could finish her worried words, Si Yao forced a smile again.

"Then you sleep a little longer. I'll make you a bowl of calming soup!" Caiyi nodded in relief when she learned that Sister Si Yao was not sick. After that, she turned around and ran out in a hurry.

Si Yao was about to speak to stop her but saw Cai Yi had already run away. After standing at the door for a moment, she had to turn around and open the window on the other side of the room. The morning light made her close her eyes involuntarily, and it took her a while to slowly adapt. When she opened her eyes again, her mind was mostly clear. She looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, but the scene of last night unconsciously emerged in her mind, and her heart was in a mess again.

Dong dong dong

Si Yao had just finished washing up when the tightly closed door of the room opened again. She was muttering to herself that Caiyi came up so quickly, but when she opened the door, she was surprised to see Xinnu appear in front of her. She was so panicked that she froze in place, thinking that it was the prince who sent someone to invite her, but she really had no intention of seeing him today.

"Miss Si Yao, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? This is what His Highness prepared for you early this morning, along with a letter from His Highness to you." Seeing the haggard look on Si Yao's face, Xin Nu was a little worried but swallowed the words back. She just picked up the food box and the letter in her hand and smiled at Si Yao.

Last night, Yan Zong and Si Yao also couldn't sleep. Besides being overjoyed by her initiative, he was also worried that Si Yao would be depressed because of this setback. So before dawn, he dragged Yu Cheng, who was sleeping, to the kitchen. He guessed that she was ashamed to see him these past two days, so he had to ask Xin Nu to deliver the prepared breakfast to Sanxiu Pharmacy.

"Thank you." Seeing Xin Nu say this, Si Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took the food box and the letter, and nodded and smiled at the other party.

Xin Nu said nothing more, just raised her hand, bowed and disappeared at the door. Si Yao put the food box on the table by the window and couldn't wait to open the letter. Seeing the two lines of affectionate words, she couldn't help but overflow with some warmth in her eyes, and suddenly she didn't feel depressed anymore.

"Ahem." Just as Si Yao was lost in thought as she was reading the letter in her hand, a light cough was heard at the door. She quickly put away the letter and turned around to see her senior brother Xiuming walking into the room with a bowl of hot medicine soup and a smile on his face. He put down the medicine soup and was attracted by the food box on the table. He asked curiously:

"What did this clan leader send so early in the morning?"

Having just seen the figure of the secret guard Xin Nu from afar, he naturally guessed that this must have been sent by the prince.

"Why are you here, Senior Brother?" Si Yao also glanced at the medicine soup on the table and asked with a frown.

"Caiyi said you had a nightmare last night, so I made this soothing soup. I brought it to you on the way." Xiuming then raised his eyes to look at Si Yao, frowning and asking, "You look really bad, was it really just a nightmare?"

"It's nothing serious, just take a rest. It's hard for Caiyi to care about me so much." Si Yao avoided his senior brother's concerned eyes, just lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly.

"I saw you come back last night with a worried look on your face. Did something unpleasant happen between you and the King?" Seeing that his junior sister avoided answering his question, Xiu Ming did not intend to give up. He came to see her just to find out what happened last night.

"Brother, don't worry. There was nothing unpleasant between me and the prince. I just hurt him carelessly because of my recklessness..." Si Yao was a little flustered by her brother's persistence. She didn't want to lie to him, but she couldn't bring herself to talk about such things. She hesitated for a moment before sighing.

"You hurt the prince? What happened?" Xiu Ming was so shocked that his mouth was half open, and then he asked hurriedly. He was worried that the prince would bully his junior sister, but he didn't expect that it was his junior sister who hurt the prince.

"It's nothing, please don't ask anymore, senior brother." Si Yao blushed again and walked to the window and muttered helplessly.

Seeing that the junior sister was actually shy, Xiuming was half-understood and a little surprised. Usually, when the junior sister was diagnosing a man, even if she asked about his privacy, the patient would be shy in front of her, but she was calm and frank. He never thought that the junior sister would blush, but Xiuming changed his mind and scolded himself for making a fuss. No matter how unique the junior sister was, wasn't she still a girl? There was a difference in how he treated patients and lovers.

"The medicine is almost cold, drink it quickly, and don't let Caiyi down." There was silence in the room for a moment. Xiuming coughed gently again, then smiled at his junior sister.

Si Yao then turned around, took the tranquilizing medicine soup handed to her by her senior brother and drank it slowly.

"Since it was sent by the prince, why don't you open it and take a look?" Then, Xiu Ming began to look at the food box on the table curiously.

Seeing her senior brother here just now, Si Yao was embarrassed to open it, but now that her senior brother had spoken, she no longer hesitated and opened the lid of the food box, revealing a plate of glutinous rice balls and a bowl of golden pumpkin soup.

"These two things are what my junior sister likes to eat. The prince really put in a lot of effort." Xiu Ming nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

"These were all made by him." Si Yao looked at the food in the box and smiled gently.

"Oh my, the once arrogant prince would actually lower himself to cook for you, my junior sister, and even linger in the kitchen? It's really impressive!" Seeing that the prince treated his junior sister so sincerely, Xiu Ming was surprised and happy, and then he smiled at Si Yao.

"Brother, would you like to try it together?" As Si Yao spoke, she had already taken out the glutinous rice balls and pumpkin soup from the food box, handed the chopsticks to her brother and asked.

"Senior brother has already had breakfast. Besides, these are all the endless love from the King of the Sect. You, my junior sister, should enjoy them alone." Xiu Ming smiled and shook his head. After he finished speaking, he left. He felt relieved knowing that nothing had happened between his junior sister and the King of the Sect.

Listening to her senior brother praising the breakfast he had made for the prince, Si Yao couldn't help but feel moved and cherished the two meals in front of her even more.

At the time of Si, the pharmacy was still quiet. After sitting in the clinic for almost an incense stick of time, Si Yao began to feel drowsy because she did not sleep well last night and had nothing to do. Later, under Xiu Ming's persuasion, she took the opportunity to go back to her room to catch up on her sleep. Everyone in the pharmacy thought that Si Yao had a nightmare and did not sleep well last night, so they did not disturb her.

Although Sanxiu was puzzled as to why the younger disciple had a nightmare after just having a date on the night of Qixi Festival, he did not think much about it because the older disciple still had a smile on his face when he replied to him.

In the villa outside Mucheng, bursts of whistling swords were heard and tree branches swayed in the wind. Yu Cheng and Xin Nu both stood upright in the corridor, watching the prince dancing with swords in front of them with great joy. They couldn't help but exclaim in admiration in their hearts.

After Xin Nu came back with breakfast, Yan Zong naturally learned that Si Yao looked haggard. She must have not slept well last night. Although it was not unexpected, he still couldn't help but worry. Although he wanted to see her urgently, the wound on his lip had not healed yet. If he rashly went to the medicine store, it would only make her uneasy. The sorrow in his heart was difficult to relieve for the time being, so he could only vent it by dancing with the sword.

"It has been a long time since we have seen Your Highness dancing with a sword. I didn't expect that today we can feast our eyes thanks to Miss Si Yao." Yu Cheng's eyes were bright, and he followed the prince's dancing with the sword, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"What does this mean, 'Thanks to Miss Siyao'?" Xin Nu didn't understand and looked at Yu Cheng with a puzzled look and asked.

"Your Highness used to think of sword dancing only when he was upset and couldn't resolve it. Today, who else but Miss Si Yao can make Your Highness's mood fluctuate?" Yu Cheng then turned his head and said to Xin Nu.

"Since Your Highness wants to see Miss Si Yao, why doesn't he go directly to Sanxiu Pharmacy?" Xin Nu continued to ask in confusion.

"Ahem, you have to ask His Highness."

Yu Cheng's words made Xin Nu feel a chill on her back.
