“Too much, this is really too much…” Xiao Shun looked utterly hopeless and said bitterly.
Why did you have to kiss me when I was unconscious and couldn’t feel anything? Why didn’t you wait until I woke up before kissing me? This is really too much!
Just kidding, but seriously, being liked by someone, especially being liked by a great beauty is still a very cool thing, isn’t it?
Although Xiao Shun said that with his mouth, he was actually secretly smug in his heart.
Being unconscious wasn’t completely useless after all. Since he didn’t know anything himself, Yao Cen couldn’t blame him even if she found out.
Yao Cen stared at him coldly: “I also heard a nurse say that Mo Yibai secretly kissed you too. When did something happen between you and her?”
“Too much! This is too much. They took advantage of me while I was vulnerable. Dear, believe me, we are just friends…”
Xiao Shun panicked a little and denied it firmly.
He was weak, and his words were a little breathless, but exceptionally firm.
Tang Shishi, that female rogue, was one thing, but what was the deal with this Mo Yibai? To be honest, he really didn’t expect it.
“She gave up a great opportunity just to come see you. How can you be so heartless and hurt her feelings like this?” Yao Cen rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically.
“I swear, I was unconscious. How would I know what they did to me?”
Xiao Shun changed the direction of his words and pushed the blame back: “But… why didn’t you stop them? You were awake, so how could you just watch them take advantage of me? You’re also too much.”
Yao Cen was immediately amused with anger: “Do you think they kissed you right in front of me? They did it sneakily, it was unavoidable!”
After saying that, she suddenly realized something was wrong. How did this become my fault?
I’ve been working hard here taking care of you every day, and I also have to guard against others taking advantage of you. It’s not easy for me, okay?
Yao Cen felt very wronged.
Ow!
Seeing that her expression was unfriendly, Xiao Shun quickly took a breath and said, “Um… honey, my head hurts a little, let me sleep first.”
After this incident, Yao Cen suddenly realized that Xiao Shun no longer belonged to her alone.
Not only did he belong to those women including Song Linger, but he also belonged to a whole bunch of men…
She felt very complicated, it was hard to describe in words.
As for the headache, Xiao Shun was just making up an excuse to avoid the topic.
If there was any pain, there wasn’t a place on his body that didn’t hurt right now.
It was fortunate that this guy had thick skin. He still had the mood to make excuses.
“How is Linger?” After a moment, he got to the point and asked.
“There’s no danger to her life. She’s receiving treatment now.” Yao Cen sighed, her expression complex as she spoke.
She had seen the situation clearly at the time. That Song Linger girl had protected Xiao Shun with her life. Such feelings, Yao Cen really didn’t know what to say.
Hearing this, Xiao Shun was slightly relieved.
If anything unexpected happened to Song Linger, he wouldn’t know how to face Song Qingzhou, let alone his own heart.
He really wanted to go see her right now, but he couldn’t move at the moment. Besides, it wouldn’t be appropriate to say it in front of Yao Cen.
After a long silence, Yao Cen hesitated and said, “She kept calling your name while she was unconscious… It seems her feelings for you run deep…”
Xiao Shun didn’t respond. For something already laid out in the open like this, he couldn’t deny it.
In his heart, Song Linger was different from Tang Shishi or Mo Yibai.
“How do you feel now? Should I call the doctor over to take a look?”
Seeing that he still looked listless, Yao Cen asked worriedly.
“No need. Don’t forget, I’m also a doctor. I should know better than them how I’m doing. There’s nothing major now, I just need to recuperate for a while.” Xiao Shun said.
It was true that he had no major issues in other aspects now. It was just that his meridians were completely shattered, which was undoubtedly fatal for a cultivator.
However, he was not an ordinary cultivator, and with his mastery of medicine, he naturally knew how to reopen his meridians.
“Really? Thanks to Mr. Wang Ye and Mr. Qin this time. Because of you, Mr. Wang fell ill two days ago.” Yao Cen said with a complex expression.
“Is that so? Is it serious?” Xiao Shun frowned and asked.
Although Wang Ye looked quite robust, he did have an illness after all. Once he fell ill at his age, it was a dangerous thing.
“Mr. Qin said it’s nothing serious, just excessive worrying. He’ll recover after recuperating for a while.” Yao Cen replied.
Wang Ye didn’t have much longer to live anyway. Recuperating for a while probably meant… Xiao Shun secretly sighed.
“Is Mr. Qin still in Stillwater?” After a slight pause, Xiao Shun asked.
“Yes.”
“Please ask him to come over when he has time. I need his help with something.”
Xiao Shun couldn’t give himself acupuncture to unblock his meridians right now, so he could only ask Qin Guangyuan to help.
As long as Qin Guangyuan could use Fallen Seven to help him unblock a little, he could then absorb the energy from spirit stones to regenerate himself, although it might take some time.
“He’s been at the hospital these days. I can ask him to come over right now.”
Yao Cen hesitated for a moment, then asked, “But it’s lunch time now. You haven’t eaten for so many days. Should I get you something to eat first?”
“Now that you mention it, I am a little hungry.” Xiao Shun said weakly.
“Ask mom to stew some chicken soup for me. I want to drink the chicken soup mom makes.”
Yao Cen: “Okay, I’ll call mom right now and ask her to stew chicken soup for you.”
Knowing that he wanted to eat, he must be really alright. The worry she had been carrying these past few days finally eased a little.
In another ward.
Song Linger was lying on the hospital bed, wrapped in bandages on her head, legs, hands, and all over her body. She cried in pain.
“My master really woke up?” She asked Song Qingzhou with tears flowing.
“Really, I just went to confirm it.” Song Qingzhou looked at her with a pained expression on his face.
“Why are you crying? You’re this happy? I really don’t know what’s good about that brat that he’s worth you being like this.”
Song Linger said with a wry smile: “You’re really my dad. I’m crying from the pain, the anesthetic wore off.”
To relieve the pain, the doctor would anesthetize her twice a day. However, there were restrictions on that drug, it couldn’t be used too much. Each time it would only work for a few hours.
“Let’s see if you dare to be reckless again in the future. Look at yourself, wrapped up like a mummy. How are you going to get married in the future if you’re left with scars?” Song Qingzhou said, feeling both distressed and helpless.
With Song Linger injured like this, he let go of his usual sternness as a father and tried his best to be a caring dad.
Of course, he didn’t have much sternness towards Song Linger to begin with.
“Then I just won’t get married. I’ll follow my master.”
“You…” Song Qingzhou was speechless.
“Alright, I don’t want to argue with you like this now. But you know Xiao Shun is a married man. What would it look like for you to follow him? As your father, I just care about you. Don’t be ungrateful.”
