Peaceful Farm Life-Chapter 1929 - 1930: This Dummy...

"This subordinate doesn’t know." After a pause, Shadow One guessed, "Maybe it’s because she hasn’t taken her medicine yet."

"Is she tormenting herself, or tormenting me?!" An Yiqing was quite angry, threw on a piece of clothing, and headed to the main room to find Gong Le.

As he entered the main room, he saw Gong Le curled up on the bed with her back to the door, coughing pitifully. An Yiqing’s anger instantly vanished. He quickly dismissed the attendants in the room and made his way to the bedside to sit down.

"Lele," he spoke gently, "I promise you, from now on, I’ll take you wherever I go, okay? Be good, hurry up and drink the medicine, otherwise, the illness will get worse."

Gong Le pouted, slowly turned around to face An Yiqing, and said nothing. She just looked at him with her particularly aggrieved and innocent eyes.

"What’s wrong?" An Yiqing didn’t quite understand what she meant.

"Will you really take me wherever you go in the future?"

Before An Yiqing could reply, Gong Le coughed lightly twice, looking especially uncomfortable. An Yiqing immediately said, "As long as you quickly take the medicine, I promise I’ll take you everywhere I go in the future."

As soon as Gong Le heard this, she immediately brightened up and quickly sat up. "Then I’ll take the medicine."

An Yiqing handed the medicine bowl to Gong Le, "Drink it all in one go, don’t sip it slowly, that’s even more bitter."

"Mm-hmm."

Seeing Gong Le obediently starting to drink the medicine, An Yiqing quickly grabbed a candied fruit. As soon as Gong Le finished the medicine and stuck out her tongue from the bitterness, he popped the candied fruit into her mouth: "Sweeten it up."

Gong Le tasted the sweetness of the candied fruit and immediately smiled, "Big Brother Qing, you’re so nice~"

An Yiqing was speechless. This silly girl got upset quickly, but she also calmed down fast. But since she took the medicine, he felt at ease.

"Big Brother Qing, I want more." After finishing the candied fruit in her mouth, Gong Le demanded more candied fruits.

"You have hands, get it yourself." Although he said this, An Yiqing still picked up another candied fruit and placed it into Gong Le’s mouth.

Gong Le happily ate it.

Seeing Gong Le so happy eating, An Yiqing took the small plate of candied fruits and gave it all to Gong Le.

Gong Le held the plate, eating the candied fruits one by one with delight.

After eating her fill and feeling a bit sick of them, Gong Le stopped eating and put the plate of candied fruits back on the table.

"Big Brother Qing, you have to keep your word, take me everywhere you go from now on." She paused and pouted, "If you lie to me and don’t take me, I’ll make myself sick again."

Using her health as leverage again...

An Yiqing was amused and frustrated: "Did my fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers teach you this again?"

"Big Brother Qing, you’re really smart, it was indeed A Qi, Ah Lin, and A Zhi who taught me."

An Yiqing genuinely wanted to roll his eyes at her, but he held back. He said calmly, "I won’t lie to you, rest assured." At most, I’ll write another letter to your parents, asking them to come take you back sooner.

The latter part he kept to himself, not voicing it aloud.

However, he did ask, "What else did my fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers teach you?"

Gong Le was very honest: "A Qi, Ah Lin, and A Zhi said if getting wet in the rain doesn’t work, I should go without food for several days. That way, you’ll definitely promise to take me everywhere you go and won’t let me disappear."
