âOh God! This is a miracle! Yuâs poison has been dissolved!â Dongfang Bai exclaimed. The entire room cheered.
Currently, it was evening. After Le Yao Yao encountered Yu, she brought him to one of Dongfang clanâs side clinics.
After all, the Dongfang clanâs medical expertise was famous throughout the whole country. They had a branch in every city. From time to time, members of the Dongfang clan would come to patrol and see how their physicians and patients were doing.
Since they have been searching for traces of Yu the past month, Le Yao Yao would regularly be with Dongfang Bai in his Dali branch. Leng Yi Xuan was taken care of by a few of the older female servants.
Right now, Le Yao Yao was anxiously waiting as Dongfang Bai took Leng Jun Yuâs pulse.
When they heard the news, everyone relaxed. Le Yao Yao was ecstatic. âYu! Your poison has dissolved! This is great! Iâm so happy!!!â
Le Yao Yao was very emotional and thankful. Seeing her like this made Leng Jun Yu felt very sweet on the inside.
Maybe they were once a couple.
The way Leng Jun Yu was gazing at her caused Le Yao Yaoâs cheeks to flush. Now, her white skin turned red like a wintersweet.
The two of them made intense eye contact. It was as if they had forgotten that there were other people in the room. They didnât snap out of it until Qi Ying Ying purposely coughed out loud.
Le Yao Yaoâs pink cheeks turned even redder. Now, she looked like a cooked shrimp. She lowered her head and avoided looking at anyone. She wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Seeing this, Qi Ying Ying giggled. âSister Yao Yao, isnât this what you wanted? The Goddess of Mercy actually brought your brother Leng back!â
âGoddess of Mercy?â Leng Jun Yu was confused. What does the Goddess of Mercy have to do with him?
Qi Ying Ying teased, âBrother Leng, you have no idea. Ever since you fell into the currents, sister Yao Yao have been searching for you day and night. She lost an entire size. I was so afraid she would collapse at this rate. So, I suggested heading to a famous temple in Dali to pray for your return. Who wouldâve thought that we would encounter you right after? The Goddess of Mercy is so kind. Now that youâre back, sister Yao Yao can actually live in peace and take care of her body.â
âYing Ying, donât exaggerate.â
Leng Jun Yu turned to look at the woman in white. Although Le Yao Yao was gorgeous, she looked very frail and weak. It was as if she could be blown away by the wind.
Furthermore, she had huge eye bags underneath her eyes. It was obvious that she had been sleep deprived. Her smile couldnât hide her exhaustion.
Leng Jun Yuâs heart ached for her. âSorry for causing you so much painâ¦.â
âNo, as long as youâre back, itâs worth it. Yu, I feel so happy right now. While I was praying to the Goddess of Mercy, I sincerely said even if I have to die ten years younger, I would be willing as long as you came back safe and sound.â Le Yao Yao choked.
Leng Jun Yu lifted his head and opened his mouth. âSilly girl, donât say such ridiculous things!â
It was so easy for him to joke around with her. For some reason, he could be himself around her. Perhaps, he actually loved her in the past?
Love?
Suddenly, he felt a torturous pain in his heart.
âArrggghhhh!â Leng Jun Yuâs face turned white as a sheet.
In addition, his forehead was filled with sweat and his five facial features were twisted.
Everyone began to freak out. âYu, whatâs going on? Brother, please take a look! Yu looks like heâs in massive pain!â
âCalm down, Yao Yao. Let me see.â
Dongfang Bai could tell Le Yao Yao was about to turn hysterical. He quickly eyed Qi Ying Ying.
âSister Yao Yao, uncle is here! Although uncleâs personality is not that great, his medical skills are not bad! Donât worry!â
Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes at Qi Ying Ying and then focused on Leng Jun Yuâs pulse.
Le Yao Yao held onto her breath. She could see Dongfang Bai frowning. Her heart began to beat irregularly.
âBrother, tell me! Whatâs going on? Why is Yu in pain? Didnât you say his poison has dissolved?â Le Yao Yao was very anxious.
Right now, Leng Jun Yu had closed his eyes and looked like he was resting. He didnât seem to be in as much pain, but his face was still pale. Leng Jun Yu wanted to lessen Le Yao Yaoâs concern, so he tried to reassure her. âI-Iâm fine. Donât worryâ¦â he weakly stated.
âHow can I not worry? Look at you right now!â Le Yao Yao burst into tears. She could see the cold sweat on Leng Jun Yuâs forehead. So, she took out her handkerchief and began to help him wipe it.
But the moment she got close, Leng Jun Yuâs pain worsen. He screamed.
Le Yao Yaoâs eyes grew big. She was confused.
Dongfang Bai pulled Le Yao Yao away from Yu. âYao Yao, I would advise you not to get so close to Yu.â
âWhy? Does he have a contagious disease?â
âNo!â Dongfang Bai was worried that Le Yao Yaoâs imagination was going to go wild again. He quickly denied.
âThen why canât I get close to Yu? Brother, what type of illness does Yu have?â
âYu doesnât have an illness. Instead, he has taken a love parasite.â
âWhat? Love parasite?â
Le Yao Yao and Leng Jun Yu yelled and gazed at each other.
Dongfang Bai sighed and explained. âThe Miao people specialized with their parasite magic. I have read about this in books before. Basically, Yu is fine. But if you get close, he will suffer tremendous heart pains. So, Iâm quite sure he has swallowed the love parasite.â
âBrother, how do we get rid of this parasite?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Dongfang Bai shook his head and looked depressed. âSorry, Yao Yao. Iâm not sure how to get rid of it. Perhaps, only the person who made him take it will have the cure for it.â
âThe person who made him take it? â¦who?â
âSai Qi is the one who gave me the love parasite.â
âSai Qi?â
Le Yao Yao was the jealous type. She hated how her man was talking about another woman in front of her. But this was not the time to be jealous. âSai Qi is Sai Yaâs older sister, right?â
âYes.â Leng Jun Yu nodded and continued, âA month ago, I woke up with no recollection of my past. Sai Qi took care of me day and night. She is very medically skilled and managed to dissolved my poison. Sai Qi treats me very well.â
Le Yao Yao was both thankful and jealous of Sai Qi. She was glad Sai Qi saved Yuâs life. If she hadnât found him, perhaps Yu would already be dead by now.
But knowing that Sai Qi had been taking care of him day and night worried her. They were together alone in a room together for a month, perhaps feelings might have developed?
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao bit her lips and asked. âUmm. Yu. Do you like Sai Qi?â
