Li Yan had crossed his arms and was leaning against a corner. His deep, bewitching eyes were looking at the blue sky and white clouds.

After a period of time had passed, Li Man finally came out. He didn't what she and the old doctor had talked about, but when they came out, the doctor's old face was beaming like a flowering winter jasmine. He guaranteed Li Man that if the medicine sold well; he would share a portion of the proceeds with her.

"Are you done discussing yet? Can we go back now?" Li Yan seemed impatient as he walked over here from the corner.

"Rotten brat. Be more polite when speaking to a woman." The old doctor treated Li Yan coldly.

Li Yan innocently rubbed his nose. Why was this old man like a blade of grass that was easily swayed? Why had he sided with Li Man so quickly? He ignored the old man and directly asked Li Man, "Are you coming or not?"

"Let's go." Then, Li Man turned to face the old doctor and said, "Uncle, I'll be going now. If there are any problems, you can send someone to Li family's home to look for me."

"En, you can go." The old doctor walked with her to the entrance to send her off and watched as they descended the hill before turning around and heading inside.

Li Yan's mind was filled with misgivings, but he didn't ask any questions. They returned the same way they came here. One person walked at the front and the other person lagged behind and kept a distance of ten feet between them.

Since Li Man remembered the way back, she wasn't worried about getting lost. In addition, she was elated from her successful business discussion with the old doctor. At some point, she had pinched off a stalk of giant foxtail grass and was whipping it back and forth. She looked quite happy.

Once again, Li Yan had stopped at the bend in the path to wait for her. This time, he didn't tell her to walk faster.

Li Man slowly approached the bend. As she skirted around him to continue walking home, she slightly raised her eyes and lightly glanced at him. Their positions had reversed, and she was walking ahead of him.

Pfft. Li Yan looked at the giant foxtail grass that was she was swaying back and forth. He suddenly wanted to laugh. She was still a girl young enough to like playing with giant foxtail grass. Why should he be afraid? Was he going to timidly avoid touching her forever, just because she had cried once? That was ridiculous.

In a few unhurried strides, he caught up to her and walked by her side. He wouldn't allow her to walk in front of him or lag behind. However, he didn't say a single word to her. He just forcibly walked by her side as an eyesore.

Li Man was finally angry enough to stop walking. She pointed at the path and asked, "This path is so wide. Why do you insist on walking so close to me?"

"That's strange." Li Yan looked at her in askance. "I'm not blocking your way. Shouldn't you mind your own business?"

Li Man bit her lip and angrily glared at him. "Can you stop being so immature?"

"Such nice lips, but there are teeth marks all over them because of your biting." Li Yan stretched his hand out towards her lips.

Li Man tilted her head away. She instinctively raised her hand to slap him, but this time, Li Yan was vigilant. He decisively and nimbly caught her hand in midair, tenaciously held onto it, and forced her five fingers apart, one by one. As he looked at her long, slender nails, he furrowed his brow and said, "You really should trim your nails."

"Let go." Li Man tried with all of her strength to pull her hand away.

But, Li Yan wouldn't let go. It was if the two of them were playing tug of war. "You're the one that sent it here."

"I've truly misjudged you." Li Man was so angry that her face was flushed. Even her voice had changed a bit. "I used to think you were an elegant gentleman, but now, I see that you're just a -"
