But in fact, there was nothing to avoid; after all, she had already seen everything above Shu Yu’s waist before. "Baobao, Second Brother is dressed." Yixuan looked toward Dong Huiying, seeing the young girl turn toward him. Dong Huiying had Shu Yu sit down, "Stretch out your hand." Shu Yu rolled up his sleeve, revealing a section of his fair and slender wrist. She felt his pulse, and after a moment of consideration, she said, "In addition to the medicinal baths, nourishing your body from within is still too slow. Starting tomorrow, I’ll prepare a separate medicinal meal for you, striving to quickly replenish your vigor," by doing so, it would be better to medicate later on. Otherwise, with his current condition, even the most brilliant of medicines would not save his life and would instead become a poison hastening his demise. Weakness cannot be bolstered; it is as simple as that. "Baobao, there is no need to rush," Liang Shu Yu picked up a handkerchief and wiped the wrist that she had touched to feel his pulse, then spoke with a serene and tranquil expression, "Either way, my illness did not develop in a day or two. You should focus on the important matters at hand." Dong Huiying suddenly froze for a moment--could it be that he was astoundingly perceptive? Had he completely seen through her, or was it that her distracted demeanor was too apparent? But when she was treating him, her attitude was not perfunctory, but seriously engaged--this was the most fundamental medical ethics. After practicing medicine for so many years, even if her mind was in turmoil, she would force herself to remain calm when it came to her professional skills. "Cooking medicinal meals won’t hinder anything. Let’s leave it at this for today; I’ll return to my room." She turned and walked out. After Dong Huiying left, Yixuan looked at Second Brother for a while, then said, "After Baobao came back, your complexion has improved considerably. Indeed, Baobao’s medical skill is brilliant." Shu Yu found a small brass mirror from somewhere. He took a look at himself in the mirror before putting it aside with a demeanor of disinterest. "It is only temporary; I am merely living each day as it comes," he suddenly coughed, Yixuan quickly went to smooth his back for him, but he weakly waved his hand. Just as he was about to speak, a mouthful of sweet blood surged up from the depth of his throat. "It’s nothing serious." He leaned lazily against the wall, his clear brows full of scorn. The pain in his viscera was worse than ever. But such pain had long since become familiar to him. He thought of the young girl who had treated him before and suddenly felt a tinge of dimness in his eyes. He was contemplating a question; in fact, he hated himself more than her, and what he could not forgive the most was also himself. "I’m tired; I want to sleep for a bit." Having said that, Shu Yu took off his shoes and intended to lie down, but Yixuan suddenly called out, "Wait a moment, your hair is still wet. If you sleep with damp hair, you’re sure to get a headache again." After saying this, Yixuan brought over a clean handkerchief and stood in front of Shu Yu, gently drying his long hair. Shu Yu’s lips curved into a slight smile. "I’ve always wondered why you could take such good care of her, no matter if it was the rough and violent version of her from before, or the amnesiac version of her after. You were meticulous and personally involved in every aspect. It turns out the root of it all was me," he said as he slowly closed his eyes, swallowing the bitterness in his mouth. Yixuan glanced at him, "You’re too burdened with thoughts; be careful or you’ll end up with white hair from worry, just like Big Brother." Shu Yu chuckled as if he was reminded of the white hair at Big Brother’s temples, finding it somewhat amusing. Despite being only twenty-five or twenty-six, those streaks of white hair made him look weathered. "If it’s not pitch black, then it’s pure white. If I were to become like Big Brother with mixed black and white hair, I would rather shave it all off and be bald."
