In the following days, Xu Jing and Xiao Yi were as busy as spinning tops. Xiao Yi was occupied with handling Li Yuan's affairs, while Xu Jing, along with Yan Ci, aided in treating the wounded. Although they both resided in Lingzhou, they had little time to meet.
To avoid too much running around, Xu Jing often stayed near the medical quarters. What she didn't know was that a certain man felt both disappointed and secretly relieved about it.
Soon, it was mid-December. Xu Jing was in a village outside Lingzhou City aiding others. During a midday break, Yan Ci approached her and handed over two soft, fluffy buns with a gentle smile, saying, "These are pork and vermicelli buns made by Mrs. Huang from the village. You should try them. Mrs. Huang wanted to deliver them personally, but I happened to run into her and took over the task."
