The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler
Chapter 2532 Side Story 36: Efficiency
That night, it was clear and bright. Some people were in a mess, the roses swayed, and others couldn't sleep.
…
Probably because she was really tired, but Xiao Ba slept deeply for once.
When she woke up in the morning and thought of what happened last night, it still felt like a dream.
She instinctively touched her lips—they were slightly swollen and hurt. Only then did she confirm that everything that had happened yesterday had really happened.
Her face instantly turned red, and even her ears burned.
"Ah—" She whimpered softly and placed her slightly cold hand on her face.
Coldness and warmth overlapped, mixed with an intense heartbeat, one after another.
How did I say those words last night?
She didn't notice it at the time, but now that she thought about it, she was filled with shyness and embarrassment.
She dawdled as she brushed her hair. She recalled that he had also held the back of her head last night, his fingers passing through her hair and intertwining.
She looked at the person in the mirror and saw the woman inside. Her face was red, and her eyes were sparkling. She was really—
She thought of something, and her cheeks burned. There seemed to be a warmth that surged from the bottom of her heart and quickly spread around her.
In a daze, she couldn't help but think that with clothes between them, it indeed couldn't be compared to the feeling of touching him personally.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Realizing that she was thinking in an uncontrollable direction, Xiao Ba coughed and softly advised herself, "…Everyone loves beauty…"
With this thought in mind, she got up to take a bath and changed her clothes. After tidying herself up, she walked out magnificently.
…
Jian Fengchi was waiting for Xiao Ba to come over. He had been standing guard by Lin Zhifei's bed the entire night.
Actually, at their cultivation level, it was fine if they didn't sleep for ten days or half a month. However, Xiao Ba was more sleepy and had always taken sleep very seriously.
Looking at the sun gradually rising outside, Jian Fengchi leaned against the chair and leisurely fanned himself. "Sigh, it seems like this lady overslept again…"
As expected. Jian Fengchi thought, I'll just wait a little longer then.
In the end, no one came over at noon.
He helped Lin Zhifei change his dressing and looked outside. "She can sleep so well?"
Time passed quickly, and it was already the afternoon.
Jian Fengchi couldn't sit still any longer. It isn't a big deal for me to take care of Lin Zhifei myself, but she should at least inform me, right? Besides, Mu Hongyu and I agreed to go to the medicinal mountain today. For this battle, I tortured Mu Hongyu for half a month! If I break my promise just like that…
Jian Fengchi's temples throbbed faintly.
At this moment, a cough came from the side.
He turned around and was rather surprised.
Lin Zhifei, who had been unconscious on the bed for a long time, actually opened his eyes and woke up.
Jian Fengchi walked over. "You're awake?"
Lin Zhifei reacted for a while. When his vision became clear, he then recognized Jian Fengchi. "Young Master Jian, Young Master Jian, here…"
"This is the Fantasy Divine Hall. Yan Qing brought you back." Jian Fengchi's words were brief. "Xiao Ba and I took turns to take care of you, but she's late today. How are you feeling?"
Lin Zhifei woke up earlier than expected. This also proved that he had passed the most critical period.
His face was pale, but his eyes were clear. He looked like he was in good spirits.
Hearing Jian Fengchi's words, he smiled slightly. "I'm fine. Thank you."
"It's good that you're awake. During this period of time, you'll quickly recover as long as you recuperate here!" said Jian Fengchi with a smile.
Lin Zhifei sized him up and asked, "Young Master Jian, is there something urgent?"
He was extremely intelligent and good at reading people's body language. Even if Jian Fengchi didn't say anything, he could tell what he was thinking.
Jian Fengchi was shocked at first before he coughed. "N-not really… It's just that I originally had an appointment with a friend. The time is about to be up, but Xiao Ba hasn't come yet. She probably won't be able to make it."
As he spoke, he immediately said, "Don't worry. This has nothing to do with you, so don't take it to heart. After all, your life is more important."
Lin Zhifei looked apologetic. A moment later, he asked, "The friend you're talking about is Mu Hongyu?"
Jian Fengchi was about to speak when he heard familiar footsteps from outside. Right on the heels of that, a graceful figure pushed open the door and entered.
"Lin Zhifei, I'm here to see you!"
The two people in the room looked over in unison.
It was Mu Hongyu.
She was wearing a red dress with large flowering begonias embroidered on the hem with golden thread. She looked lively and bright.
The sun was shining brightly. When she came in, she looked as dazzling as ever.
Surprise flashed across Jian Fengchi's eyes.
He usually knew how to make a woman happy. Usually, a few sentences could make the other party burst with joy.
But every time he met Mu Hongyu, those words seemed to be locked in his throat. He always didn't know how to describe and praise her.
He just felt that this person was too bright and easily filled his gaze. This was especially so today.
However, he quickly realized something and squinted his eyes dangerously. She has come to see Lin Zhifei?
"Hm, you're awake?" Mu Hongyu was also quite shocked, and a smile appeared on her face. But from start to end, she didn't care about Jian Fengchi.
Jian Fengchi held his fan with his chin. Is she angry because I broke my promise?
"Hongyu, I didn't purposely break my promise…"
"I know." Mu Hongyu finally tilted her head, glanced at him, and raised her brows. "Xiao Ba is busy now and doesn't have time to help you."
Jian Fengchi was stunned. "What is she busy with?"
Mu Hongyu smiled, and her almond-like eyes lit up. "Busy… taking care of Yan Qing."
Then, she said, "Oh right, you still don't know? He went to Liuyue's side today and asked to marry Xiao Ba!"
Jian Fengchi was stunned. "What? The two of them… are so fast?!"
Mu Hongyu shrugged her shoulders and clicked her tongue again. "He's indeed the Emperor's man. He's really efficient."
Jian Fengchi suddenly felt his knees hurt. I have a contract and didn't make any progress at all, yet Yan Qing is already asking to marry Xiao Ba?!
Jian Fengchi was very hurt.
Smiling slightly, Lin Zhifei looked at him and then at Mu Hongyu. "Hongyu, you didn't know that I woke up. You didn't come here to see me, right?"
