Chapter 379 The ruthless saint × half-assed apprentice (19)
The next morning, when Yu Yan got up, Yi Sheng was still at home and did not go out to dig herbs.
He helped Yu Yan bring breakfast, then sat next to her and watched her eat.
Today's breakfast was a bowl of white porridge and a plate of kimchi. Yu Yan swallowed a mouthful of porridge without changing her expression. Under Yi Sheng's expectant gaze, she said, "What do you want to say?"
Yi Sheng's eyes dodge, not daring to look directly at Yu Yan.
His fingers were crossed together and stirred repeatedly, showing his inner uneasiness.
But after a while, he raised his head again and said to Yu Yan: "Master, I am not young anymore. Do you think I can get married and have children?"
Yu Yan nodded, "Yes, indeed."
Her voice was so soft, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
She continued to eat her porridge with graceful and skillful movements, as if the topic had nothing to do with her.
Seeing her nonchalant look, Yi Sheng felt as if a cruet had been knocked over, with mixed emotions.
He remembered the first time he met Yu Yan, when he accidentally broke into Miao territory and she took him back.
At that time, he really felt that Master was so beautiful, kind and gentle, because it was the first time someone took him home.
But the days that followed were simply a nightmare.
Later, after the master was accidentally pushed to the ground and fell into coma, something became abnormal.
But he doesn't care, he likes this kind of master.
Since then, he has been following Yu Yan, learning medical skills and learning how to behave.
His feelings for Yu Yan also changed from initial admiration and gratitude to deep love.
However, he knew that Yu Yan only had a master-disciple relationship with him and had no other thoughts.
He didn't dare to confess, fearing that if he failed, he would lose her.
Therefore, he could only bury this love deep in his heart and guard her silently.
Now, he has reached the age where he should marry a wife, so he came to test the master, but she had no reaction at all.
Yisheng was a little desperate and thought, is it because the master will never be able to know his love in this life?
In Yi Sheng's eyes, Yu Yan was just eating porridge calmly, as if she didn't hear his words at all. Her eyes were still so clear and indifferent, making it impossible for him to understand her thoughts.
Yisheng felt a sense of despair. He felt that he would never be able to win Yu Yan's heart in this life.
At this moment, Yu Yan suddenly put down the spoon, raised her head, and said to Yi Sheng, "Do you want to say that you like me?"
Yisheng was stunned for a moment, a little overwhelmed by her sudden words. He clenched his fists hard, then released them, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Master, I..."
Yu Yan interrupted him, "You just need to say yes or no."
After hearing this, Yi Sheng immediately sat up straight, nodded and replied, "Yes, Master, I like you."
After he said this, he didn't dare to look at Yu Yan anymore.
He was really afraid that he would see an expression of disgust on Yu Yan's face, which would make him despair.
Yu Yan chuckled and said nothing.
Yisheng waited anxiously for Yu Yan's answer, but found that she just smiled and there was no follow-up.
He raised his head anxiously and saw Yu Yan eating breakfast slowly.
"Master...I..."
Yi was so anxious that he almost bit off his tongue. After taking a deep breath, he finally said what he said.
"Master, I like you. If you don't hate me, can you give me a chance?"
Yu Yan slowly took a sip of the porridge, and then said: "When will you raise the Gu worms out, when will I give you another chance?"
After listening to her words, Yi Sheng showed a bright smile on his face, "Master, don't worry, from now on, I won't go anywhere, I will definitely raise the Gu worms."
*
Yisheng has always had a strong interest in Gu worms, and he longs to have a Gu worm of his own. So, he began his own journey of raising voodoo insects.
He first understood the living habits and preferences of the voodoo insects, and prepared an environment suitable for the voodoo bugs to grow. He laid moist paper in a small box, and then put some food that the voodoos liked, such as rice and bugs.
Next, Yi Sheng will carefully observe the growth of the Gu worm every day and clean up its feces and leftover food.
He will also use a small brush to gently stroke the Gu insect's body to enhance its touch and sensitivity.
After a month of careful care, the Gu insect was finally raised by Yi Sheng.
Its body became thicker and its wings became stronger. The Gu insects began to crawl freely in Yisheng's small box, looking for food and mates.
Yisheng was very happy. He would spend more time and energy taking care of the Gu insects every day and began to learn how to train the Gu insects. He hopes that Gu can become his partner and help him complete some special tasks.
As time goes by, the Gu insects become stronger and smarter. It began to learn simple commands such as "forward" and "stop". Yisheng also began to try to let Gu insects perform more complex tasks, such as "attack" and "defense".
Yi Sheng carefully held a porcelain jar with his left hand, waved his right hand to Yu Yan excitedly, and ran to Yu Yan with expectation on his face.
In the jar were the Gu worms that he had raised. He had spent a lot of time and energy cultivating these Gu worms. Now that they were finally raised, he felt very proud.
Yu Yan saw a happy smile on her face when she saw the Gu insects that Yi Sheng had fed.
"Master, do you still remember what you said before?" Yi Sheng asked impatiently.
Yu Yan pretended to be stupid and said, "What are you talking about? I forgot."
Yi Sheng was very aggrieved, "You obviously said before that as long as I cultivate Gu worms, you can give me a chance."
His voice was trembling, as if he was suppressing some emotion.
Yu Yan felt soft in her heart, but looking at his red nose, she felt a little bit evil, so she added, "Did I say that? You must have remembered it wrong!"
Yi Sheng's eyes turned red instantly, tears welling up in his eyes, as if they would fall down at any time.
He looked at Yu Yan steadily, with despair in his voice, "You said it, you said that as long as I cultivate Gu worms, you will give me a chance. I remember it correctly, I have always remembered it."
Yu Yan looked at his pitiful look and couldn't help it, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, I remember, remember."
Yi Sheng blinked, with a few tears still hanging on his face. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
His eyes were full of grievance and helplessness, like a wounded bird, and people couldn't help but want to comfort him.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he reached out his hand and gently pulled the corner of Yu Yan's clothes.
His fingers tightly grasped the piece of clothing, as if grasping the last straw.
His eyes were full of expectation and desire, as if waiting for Yu Yan's response.
Yu Yan heard Yi Sheng's call, she turned her head and looked at him with a smile.
Her eyes were full of tenderness and love, as if she were looking at her most cherished baby. She responded softly: "Huh?"
Yi Sheng's face instantly turned red, he lowered his head and his voice became even smaller.
He seemed a little hesitant, but finally mustered up the courage to say: "Master..."
Yu Yan looked at him with a smile again. This time she didn't speak, she just waited quietly for his next words.
Yi Sheng seemed to feel Yu Yan's encouragement. He took a deep breath and said, "Master, can you...can you kiss me?"
His voice grew quieter and quieter, until it was almost a mosquito grunt.
His head lowered even lower, as if he was afraid that Yu Yan would reject him.
However, Yu Yan did not reject him.
Instead, she laughed, so happily and sweetly.
She tilted her head slightly, and then kissed Yi Sheng on the cheek.
Her kiss was very light, like a feather brushing across her cheek.
But for Yi Sheng, this was enough.
His face instantly turned red and his heart beat faster. He felt like he was in a dream, everything became so unreal.
Yu Yan also laughed when she saw Yi Sheng's reaction. She gently touched Yi Sheng's head and said, "I'll give you the opportunity."
After hearing this, Yi Sheng raised his head and looked at Yu Yan, his eyes full of gratitude and joy.
He seemed to want to say something, but didn't know what to say. In the end, he just hugged Yu Yan tightly and called her coquettishly, "Master..."
Yu Yan also hugged him and said, "I heard you, there's no need to keep shouting."
Yisheng's tears flowed down again, but this time they were tears of happiness.
He hugged Yu Yan tightly and said, "But I just want to call you more."
Yu Yan was helpless, "Okay, if you want to shout, just shout!"
The two hugged each other, feeling each other's warmth.
