Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

The young nobleman looked at Tao'er and said earnestly, "Thank you, young lady."

Although I cannot remember the past, I will always remember your kindness.

Tao waved her hand and buried her head in eating her noodles.

She was quickly making plans in her mind.

This guy is a problem, that's for sure.

She was taking Ayan to visit relatives, so what was the matter with having a strange man on the way?

Besides, this person's identity is unknown. What if he is some important figure? After all, it's a fact that he was chased last night.

If she keeps this person around, wouldn't she be inviting trouble?

But this person is so badly injured, and she's the one who saved him. She can't just leave him in this state, can she?

That would have been worse than just standing by and watching someone die last night!

The young master finished his noodles quickly, probably because he was really starving.

Seeing that the young lady remained silent, the nobleman thought for a moment and then asked, "Miss, are you in a difficult situation?"

Tao'er raised her head and met his clear eyes.

"If you find this inconvenient, I will not force you," he said softly. "You have already saved my life, and I should not cause you any more trouble. I will leave now."

Seeing the girl's troubled expression, his inherent upbringing forced him to leave.

Ayan suddenly raised his head, "Leave?"

Uncle, you're so badly injured, where can you go?

The young nobleman clutched his aching chest, smiled, a bitter smile tinged with sadness: "There will always be a way."

Tao looked at him and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Would it be too much to let him leave injured like this?

I wonder if keeping him would...

If this were in a novel, the author would probably be criticized for being a "saint" again...

And this person clearly doesn't remember anything, is all alone, and is so badly injured, yet still thinks about not causing trouble for others.

This kind of understanding is rare.

For the first time, Tao'er felt troubled!

"Sister Tao'er, Uncle is so pitiful. He has injuries on his head and body. He's too conspicuous if he goes out like this. If he encounters danger, he might be killed."

"How about..."

For some reason, Ayan always felt that this uncle was a good person, and that they would regret it later if they didn't save him.

Tao'er sighed, "Young master, you're injured like this, going out will only lead to your death."

Although I can't take care of you forever, I'll at least wait until you're better.

The young nobleman's eyes lit up: "Really?"

The young nobleman thought to himself, "This girl is quite kind."

Why would I lie to you?

Tao'er continued eating her noodles with her head down, and after a while she looked up again and said, "But it's settled then, once you're healed, you'll have to go find your family yourself."

I can't keep taking you with me forever.

After all, it's not very convenient for a man like you to come along.

"That's natural."

The young nobleman nodded quickly, then seemed to remember something.

"Don't worry, young lady, if I find my family, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Tao smiled but didn't say anything.

The three of them ate their noodles in silence.

Tao'er's cooking skills are excellent; the noodles are chewy, the soup is delicious, and the poached egg is fried to perfection, with a runny yolk.

The young nobleman ate quickly, but not in a wolfish way; his movements maintained a certain elegance, as if it were a habit ingrained in his bones.

Tao'er secretly glanced at him. Judging from his elegant and proper movements, he must have a certain status and position. He might be the heir of a noble family, or at the very least, a wealthy young master from a rich family.

Ayan looked at him curiously and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, do you really not remember anything?"

The young nobleman put down his chopsticks and thought seriously for a moment: "It's not completely blank."

Some images flash by, but you can't quite grasp them.

For example... I remember someone calling me "Achen," but I don't know if that's my name.

"Ah Chen?"

That's a nice name.

Tao read it aloud once.

The young nobleman's eyes crinkled slightly: "Does the young lady think it sounds good?"

From now on, just call me Achen.

It's better than being "fed" or "that person."

"Uncle Chen, you're so handsome!"

Ayan smiled, his eyes crinkling, and praised.

"Little one, you can call me Brother Chen. I'm not much older than your sister."

Ah Chen said.

Ayan nodded. "Okay, then you can call me Ayan!"

Ah Chen nodded, then said to Tao'er, "Miss, I still don't know your name!"

"I?"

Tao hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "You can call me Xiao Tao or A Tao, it's fine."

However, judging from your appearance, you must come from a wealthy family. How about I call you Young Master Chen?

She thought that if she addressed him with such respect, he would be grateful if he regained his memory, and might even give her a large reward!

"I really don't remember what my identity was before."

Miss Tao, it's too polite of you to call me "Young Master" again.

I look a few years older than you, so why don't you call me Brother A-Chen?

If it weren't for the kind girl who saved me, I would be worse off than a beggar.

Maybe I'm not the noble young master the girl is talking about, but just an unwanted pawn!

It's better to have amnesia; maybe it'll make me happier!

Tao'er couldn't help but laugh: "You're quite open-minded."

Despite being injured and suffering from amnesia, he remains so optimistic!

"What can you do if you can't figure it out?"

Things have already come to this, so we can't be gloomy every day.

"You agree, right, young lady?"

Tao nodded.

This person is quite insightful.

After finishing her noodles, Tao'er cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Ah Chen tried to help, but she glared at him and said, "Sit still and don't move around. I won't be responsible if your wound reopens."

Ah Chen obediently sat back down, but still asked Ah Yan to keep him company and talk to him.

"Brother Chen, don't be afraid. Sister Tao'er may be a little fierce, but she's a very nice person!"

Ayan said in a low voice.

"Ayan, your sister Tao'er isn't fierce at all; I think she's actually quite genuine and adorable!"

Ah Chen said.

When Tao'er finished washing the dishes and came out, she saw two people, one big and one small, chatting happily.

Ayan was gesturing wildly as he spoke, while Aci listened with a smile, nodding occasionally.

Sunlight streamed in through the doorway and fell upon them, creating a surprisingly harmonious scene.

Tao'er thought to herself that she hadn't expected this person to be so talkative, and even Xiao Ayan seemed to enjoy chatting with him.

It seems that Ayan is more at ease with Achen than with Xiao Yi, perhaps because this person doesn't have that murderous aura.

Xiao Yi is different; he is a young general, and his aura naturally exudes a chilling and imposing presence.

When Ayan saw her, he waved and said, "Sister Tao'er, Brother Achen said he can write and draw!"

"Once he gets better, he said he'd teach me. What do you say?"

In such a short time, he went from being called "uncle" to "brother"?

The distance was immediately shortened.

This person is actually quite capable.

Tao'er was both annoyed and amused: "Fine, fine, let's talk about it when he's better."

"Now, Ayan, you accompany him upstairs to rest. I'll go find a carriage."

"A carriage?" Ah Chen looked up. "Is the young lady leaving here?"

Tao'er nodded: "This shop..." She paused, not finishing her sentence, "In short, we can't stay here for long."

I was originally going to take Ayan to stay with relatives, but now that you're here too, we have to leave even sooner.

I'll hire a car in town to take you with me. Once we get to the county seat, I'll try to find your family.

She killed several people here; if the authorities suddenly come to investigate, it will be troublesome.

Even if the government doesn't come to investigate, it can't guarantee that nothing will go wrong.

In addition, since this is an inn, there are always people coming to stay here every day.

For safety's sake, Tao'er decided to set off and leave.

Ah Chen was stunned for a moment, then stood up and solemnly bowed to Tao'er: "Thank you, Miss Tao'er."

Ah Chen will never forget your immense kindness and generosity.

Tao'er felt a little uncomfortable with his serious demeanor and waved her hand, "Alright, alright, stop thanking me all the time."

Taking good care of your injury is the greatest thanks you can give me.

And please, don't be so formal. That's not the style here. Just be casual.

This is too polite, I'm not used to it!

Ah Chen raised his head and looked at her, his eyes filled with an indescribable seriousness: "Miss Tao'er, I can't just eat for free. Also, my wounds need to be dressed, and all of that costs money."

I have no silver on me, only this.

Peach Girl, you can pawn it!

Or you can keep it here, as a way to offset the cost of the medicine or something.

Ah Chen pulled a piece of warm, smooth mutton-fat jade from his neck; it was a round jade pendant shaped like a dragon.

Then it was placed in Tao'er's hands.
