Chapter 7: Spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue, summer naps

Chapter 7: Spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue, summer naps

The room was very narrow because of the drawers of medicinal herbs. There was not much free space, and there was a table, so the light was not very bright.

It was very narrow, very dark, and very... suitable for sleeping. In particular, there was a faint herbal fragrance in the room, which made people fall asleep.

Qin Ran pushed open the door and saw Li Shiyin sleeping soundly on the table. The herbal book was pressed under her face, and her face, which was already chubby, was even more grumbling.

It was indeed 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 did not bring a mobile phone with him to travel through time, otherwise he would take a picture of this scene and play it on loop all over the world when Li Shiyin became a powerful person in the future...

Thinking so in his heart, he looked at the sleeping face of the girl in the dark from the backlight of the door.

The girl had fair and delicate skin, which matched the dark yellow pages; her brush-like eyelashes had a different kind of beauty; her mouth was pursing... crystal saliva was flowing from the corners of her mouth, and her lips were indeed more rosy.

"It's really beautiful... No! Her face must have been stained black by ink." Qin Ran suppressed the strange things in his heart, shook his head pretentiously, and sighed that the girl was not a good student.

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 quietly.

Li Shiyin didn't wake up until the sun shone in from the window. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw the sun shining on the book from the window behind her, and her saliva was reflecting on the pages of the book.

She was stunned for a moment, and in a trance, she thought she had fallen asleep in the classroom again. She sat up hurriedly and looked forward, but she didn't see the old man 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 sun shone in from the window behind him, shining on him, and he seemed to be glowing.

"Has the old master become younger?"

This was Li Shiyin's first reaction. Just as she was about to admit her mistake, she suddenly realized that the old master was not so gentle and should have been punished with a ruler. This couldn't be the old master. Then she realized that this was the master she had just worshipped yesterday.

Consciousness slowly drove the sleepiness out of her mind, and she finally remembered that the master asked her to recite medicinal materials...

"Awake?" Qin Ran covered his chest with the book, squinting his eyes in the sun to look at Li Shiyin.

"Awake... Awake..." Li Shiyin answered hesitantly. At this time, the shame of being caught for being lazy and the shame of drooling while sleeping exploded in her mind at the same time, making her want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but the gentle tone of the master finally allowed her to speak.

Although she lowered her head to admit her mistake like a child, and her face was red and hot, it was.

"How much did you remember?" Qin Ran asked. He looked down 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 like a fool.

"Alas..." Qin Ran shook his head in a mature manner, looking like he was disappointed with his friend. He closed his book, stood up, and said, "Maybe you just arrived and didn't sleep well at night, or maybe the milk in the morning contained too much spiritual energy, and your body couldn't stand it. Anyway, take a rest first, and go back to have lunch first."

Li Shiyin thought about it, thinking about how she was studying in the school, and thought that maybe it was not an objective reason, but she didn't say it in the end. She nodded and said, "It's the milk in the morning. Drinking it makes people sleepy."

"Let's go!" Qin Ran didn't say much, raised his hand and called back the book in Li Shiyin's hand.

"Master..." Li Shiyin was embarrassed and reached out to grab the book back, because there was evidence of her crime on it.

But Qin Ran ignored her and turned to walk out. His magic power was running, and the saliva on the book evaporated. With a flip of his hand, the book was put into the Qiankun bag.

Li Shiyin had no choice but to blush, lower her head, and follow Qin Ran out of the pharmacy.

When she came outside, Li Shiyin found that the sun had already set, and it was probably afternoon. She remembered that it was not yet eight o'clock when she entered the pharmacy in the morning. She was supposed to study, but who knew that she would sleep 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 and looked regretful. This made him think of the classmates who walked out of the study room every time 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 this a normal chat or a weird 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, "Yes...Yes."

Qin Ran shook his head and said, "If I were teaching you, you would definitely sleep better."

"Well..." Li Shiyin actually agreed with this, because every time the old master gave a lecture, she felt particularly sleepy, but she felt an inexplicable danger, so she didn't say anything and just pondered.

"In the past..." Qin Ran's tone was full of nostalgia, "A long time ago, some students used the audio of the high-level mathematics teacher's class as a lullaby for sleeping at night, which was very effective."

Li Shiyin looked up at Qin Ran's back and felt a little bleak.

The master has a lot of stories! She thought, and stared at him, but as she was watching, the master suddenly turned around, and she didn't notice that their eyes were just facing each other. She panicked for some reason and lowered her head.

Qin Ran was also a little panicked, and hurriedly turned back and continued: "If you can't sleep in the future, you can also listen to the audio of my lectures..."

It was just a normal teasing, but the person with a guilty conscience felt that there was something wrong with the words, so he couldn't continue, and his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was so small that it could not be heard.

Li Shiyin was panicking, and suddenly found that the master's voice was wrong...

They walked to the first floor, walked out of the door, and came to the grass outside, by the river. She listened to the sound of the waterfall not far away, and reacted that the master seemed to be shy, shyer than her...

Realizing this, she seemed not so shy, raised her head, and looked directly at Qin Ran's back.

She is the eldest daughter of the Beichu Li family. She can write to pacify the world (×) and ride a horse to determine the fate of the world. How could she act like a child?

Qin Ran in front of him never thought that just a few ordinary chats would ruin his image as a master at once. He walked in front, his heart beating wildly...

It's not that he has any strange thoughts about his apprentice. The apprentice seemed to be underage and had committed a crime, although girls in Beichu could get married at the age of fourteen; he really didn't have any dirty thoughts, this was his apprentice, although she was so beautiful and cute; no, no, no, he was a gentleman, and would never do such beastly things, even if he stayed at home for another twenty years, he would not be easily attracted to girls.

"Maintain the majestic image of the master!" He warned himself secretly, took a deep breath, quietly straightened his chest and raised his head, making himself look taller.

The two masters and apprentices, one was there forcibly maintaining his collapsed image, strangling the strange sprouts in his heart; the other quietly pushed down the image of the master in his heart, and planted 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, and Li Shiyin sat in the living room, holding her hot face with both hands, and didn't know what she was thinking.
