"Your wound has reopened?" Li Yue Shu exclaimed, standing up reflexively. "What happened? Wasn't it already healing, how could..."
Before she could finish, Li Yue Shu froze.
She had personally treated Qin Mo Yuan's wounds and knew his condition well.
However, upon receiving the news of Ah Yi's mishap, they had rushed back from Yun Su, enduring a bumpy ride on horseback the entire way.
After returning, Qin Mo Yuan hadn't rested much before rushing to save Ah Yi, even nearly falling prey to the Poison King of Pang Mountain.
His back injury certainly couldn't withstand such a ordeal.
Li Yue Shu couldn't help but frown, "Is his wound badly reopened?"
Doctor Chen had already changed the dressing and was packing his medical kit.
Upon hearing Li Yue Shu's question, he shook his head. "I'm not sure. Xinghe came to get the medicine from me. I was boiling medicine for you at the time, so I didn't pay much attention."
Li Yue Shu's frown deepened.
Without another word, she got up and went to find Qin Mo Yuan.
Qin Mo Yuan was in his room, the door shut, occupied with something unknown.
Li Yue Shu pushed the door open directly.
The sudden opening startled Qin Mo Yuan, who instinctively grabbed the clothes he had just taken off to cover himself, but it was too late.
Seeing the glaring red on his back, Li Yue Shu pursed her lips, then asked expressionlessly, "What are you hiding? Afraid I'll see your wounds?"
Shen Wei's body stiffened, and he instinctively wanted to retort, "I was just... these wounds are too gruesome, I was afraid of scaring you."
The old scars on his body were indeed terrifying. He had never cared about them before, but for some reason, he didn't want Ah Shu to see him like this.
Strangely, this answer caused Li Yue Shu's tense expression to soften unconsciously.
"I'm not afraid of these things," she said, walking in and closing the door behind her. "When you were unconscious, what haven't I seen already!"
Shen Wei was momentarily speechless, but then something occurred to him, and a flicker of light crossed his eyes. "Did Ah Shu see everything?"
Li Yue Shu, not yet noticing the subtle nuance in his words, began to pull off his half-hanging clothes, saying, "I applied medicine to all your wounds. Where do you think I haven't seen?"
A smile tugged at Qin Mo Yuan's lips, his tone becoming slightly aggrieved, "For so many years, Ah Shu is the first person to have seen my entire body. You've ruined my reputation, you must take responsibility for me."
Li Yue Shu's lips twitched, and the medicine bottle in her hand was almost crushed. "Who has seen my entire body? I clearly left your pants half on..."
She looked up and met Qin Mo Yuan's smiling eyes, finally realizing belatedly that this guy was doing it on purpose!
She was being railroaded?
"Is that so?" Li Yue Shu poured the medicine with a bit too much force, a forced smile on her face. "Then you'll have to queue. After all, as a doctor, I've seen quite a few men's bodies."
Qin Mo Yuan choked.
But then, he chuckled softly, "I've always been with Ah Shu, so I naturally know you haven't seen those men's bodies. You... hiss—"
Qin Mo Yuan gasped, the pain in his back making him sit up instantly.
Li Yue Shu's expression remained calm, as if she hadn't been the one to prod him just now. She even asked proactively, "Why aren't you continuing?"
Clever as he was, Qin Mo Yuan immediately guessed that she remembered him deceiving her. He dared not speak again.
Li Yue Shu let out an unreserved laugh. Her actions did not ease, and she even put back the medicine she had taken, switching to a stronger, more painful one.
Qin Mo Yuan's body stiffened, but he remained silent, as if the one whose face had turned pale with pain was not himself.
Seeing this, Li Yue Shu couldn't help but scoff, "You're quite resilient!"
As she said this, her movements actually softened slightly, but she did not change the medicine.
Framing her came at a price. Moreover, a stronger medicine would help him recover faster.
With that thought, Li Yue Shu felt no guilt.
Qin Mo Yuan did open his mouth to speak, but thinking of the pain from his back wound, he obediently closed it.
...
Qin Mo Yuan's injuries were more severe than expected. After all, he had narrowly escaped death, endured the jolting of the horse, and then walked through the trap set by the Poison King of Pang Mountain. Anyone else would have collapsed by now, let alone appear as relaxed as he was.
Li Yue Shu sighed softly, her movements swift and orderly, and the bandaging was meticulous.
After treating the wounds on his back, she also attended to his other injuries.
Compared to the hideous scar on his back, Qin Mo Yuan's other wounds had clearly improved, some even forming scabs.
After a moment's hesitation, Li Yue Shu switched to a different bottle of medicine.
When she was trapped in the forest before, she had seen Qin Mo Yuan's physique. With her years of aesthetic appreciation, these scars were indeed affecting his appearance.
She'd be doing him a favor by removing the scars, perhaps Qin Mo Yuan's future wife would even thank her!
Li Yue Shu focused on treating the wounds, her cool fingertips occasionally brushing against Qin Mo Yuan's skin, causing him to tremble.
At first, Li Yue Shu didn't notice these accidental brushes.
But after a few more passes, she gradually found the sensation quite pleasant and couldn't help but "accidentally" brush him a few more times.
She thought her movements were subtle, but Qin Mo Yuan nearly lost control several times, wanting to grab her playful hand.
After applying medicine to all the wounds, Li Yue Shu withdrew her hand with satisfaction, though her expression clearly still held a hint of dissatisfaction.
She had known this guy had a great physique, and had touched him before, but how could she ever get enough of it!
At this moment, a voice with a hint of a smile came from above, "Is Ah Shu satisfied?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, this physique..." Li Yue Shu nodded subconsciously, then quickly changed her words. "This skill in treating wounds is absolutely the best in Tong Mu County."
Beauty can be misleading, she almost couldn't control her mouth!
Qin Mo Yuan's eyes were full of smiles, and he didn't expose her. "Ah Shu's skills are naturally excellent."
Seeing him praise her so earnestly, Li Yue Shu actually felt a bit embarrassed.
She coughed twice, averting her gaze. "You should rest well. I'll go check on Ah Yi."
With that, she quickly slipped out, just in time to run into Xinghe, who was entering with clean clothes.
He looked at Qin Mo Yuan, who was leaning against the bed with a smile, and then at Li Yue Shu, whose ear tips were slightly red, his eyes widening in surprise.
Heavens, had he returned too early and ruined his master's good time?
He hadn't expected that his master, who was usually indifferent to women, would act so swiftly.
He needed to share this news with Chai Yang quickly!
...
Li Yue Shu had no idea that Xinghe had conjured so much from a single glance. She quickly moved away.
However, for the next two days, with Doctor Chen at home, Li Yue Shu tried to sneak into her spatial realm to study Ah Yi's poison several times but failed. She was even forced to drink bitter-smelling medicine.
She had originally found excuses to avoid it, but every time Mother Mo brewed medicine, she would also brew Qin Mo Yuan's.
Then, right in front of her, that guy would down it without even frowning, and finally look at her with surprise, "Why isn't Ah Shu drinking her medicine? Are you afraid of the bitterness?"
