1725: Clearly Means That She Cares A Lot About You

Clearly Means That She Cares A Lot About You

Ji'er liked the mushroom noodles a lot. It was lightly flavored but tasted really good.1

Consequently, every time they were in the market, their mushrooms sold much better than her hunted game whenever it was put on sale. The mushrooms would sell out almost immediately.

"Don't just stand around—come sit down to eat. The noodles will get bloated and won't taste as good." Only when she called out to them did the three boys sit down next to her happily.

A smile appeared on Ji'er's face when she saw the youthful and energetic looks on all three of them. The exhaustion in her heart disappeared.

Watching them live every day with vigor and hard work would sometimes make her feel that she was an old lady who no longer had the passion or motivation in her life.

However, there was no denying that her ordinary, bland days had been much more flavorful with them around.

"Eat up," she said as she picked up her chopsticks.

The three boys immediately tucked in.

The next day.

Ji'er woke up early as usual and brought along the three boys to hunt in Green Spear Mountain.

However, today, every time she shot her arrow, it would miss the mark. She wondered if it was because she was troubled with her thoughts. Her prey would escape further into the mountains after being scared away by the attack.

"Have some water, Young Master, and get some rest." Lil Tian took out a waterskin and passed it to her.

Ji'er took it from him and drank some water. She sat down and leaned against a tree, looking a little tired.

She did not sleep well the night before and was constantly thinking of her mother.

Should she return home?

What if her mother was really ill? However, she was also wary—this could be her mother's little scheme to trick her into coming home.

"Is there something on your mind, Young Master?" The oldest among them, Lil Lin, crouched down next to her.

Ji'er glanced at him and said, "It's nothing. Don't worry about it."

Lil Lin broke a branch from the tree and began using it to draw on the ground. "We have never thought about asking you personal questions, Young Master. However, you have been looking troubled since yesterday afternoon and we're all very worried about you."

Lil Tian and Lil Mu crouched down on the other side of Ji'er and looked at her with concern.

"Young Master, even though we can't help you much, we can at least be good listeners. Sometimes, keeping everything to yourself without letting it out would only make you feel worse as time passes. It could also affect your health."

In fact, the young master had always looked troubled to them, but it had become more obvious the last couple of days to the point that it was physically affecting her.

Her troubles could be seen clearly on her face and they were very worried about her, especially since she had given them so much help.

Ji'er sighed when she saw the three expectant little faces. She reached out to rub their heads. "It's not like I can't talk about it."

The three boys held their breath when they heard this.

"I had a falling out with my family, but I just found out that my mother is seriously ill. However, she has always been good with medicine and I suspect that she might just be trying to trick me into going home with this news. I have no idea if I should return to see her. I'm worried that she is tricking me, but at the same time, I'm also afraid that she is really ill…"

The boys listened to her seriously.

It was the first time the young master was telling them about her home.

"It must be a serious falling-out if Young Master is so troubled that you can't make a decision," Lil Lin suddenly said.

Ji'er was taken aback and nodded. "Yes. It's very serious."

Lil Lin suddenly sighed and said somewhat maturely, "Even if your mother is pretending to be ill, have you considered how her ultimate goal is still to get you to go home? She has put in so much effort to do this, which clearly means that she cares a lot about you. If she really is ill, it's all the more reason for you to go home."
