After getting dressed, Lu Chimo went over and gently took Bai Yulang's bruised wrist, put his hand under the covers, kissed his forehead, and then went to wash up.
After washing up, Lu Chimo left the room.
Meanwhile, Xie Chen also came out of his room. Since Feng Muting was leaving the manor today, he had to go and keep watch over Su Fuliu.
The room was filled with a unique atmosphere.
Su Yan lay on the bed, fast asleep, occasionally muttering in his sleep, all of which were curses directed at Xie Chen.
Feng Muting asked Xie Chen to teach Su Yan how to be a good subordinate, but Xie Chen ended up teaching Su Yan all night.
All night long, all I heard was one person talking back, one person lecturing, one person scolding, and one person coaxing.
Su Yan was nothing but flesh and blood; how could he possibly withstand Xie Chen's blade of flesh and blood?
When Xie Chen arrived at Su Fuliu's room, Feng Muting came out of the room: "Keep a close watch on A-Liu. If anything happens to him again, you'll be in for a world of hurt."
"Yes," Xie Chen replied, bowing.
Not long after Feng Muting left, Lu Chimo arrived. He glanced at Xie Chen and asked, "Has Young Master Su woken up?"
Xie Chen shook his head, sparing with his words.
Lu Chimo was slightly taken aback. Was it that he didn't know or didn't know?
Chapter 379 I didn't want him to see me in such a painful and pathetic state.
Lu Chimo could only go and knock on the door himself, but after a long time there was no movement inside, so he knew that Su Fuliu had not yet woken up.
You should know that Su Fuliu had been asleep since yesterday afternoon, and it's already this late, yet she still hasn't woken up.
For a moment, Lu Chimo didn't know whether to marvel at Feng Muting's prowess or at Su Fuliu's frailty.
With no other option, he had to go back to keep Bai Yulang company, who was also still unconscious, and come back to see him later.
Later that evening, Su Fuliu woke up from hunger.
Xie Chen, however, has to stay with other people's families and can't be with his own.
Su Fuliu did indeed wake up from hunger.
It was almost noon when his stomach started growling with hunger, and he finally woke up from his sleep.
Feeling weak and sore in his legs, he could only call for someone to come in and help him wash up.
Otherwise, he would never trouble others like this.
After he finished eating, he sat on the bed and rested for a while before asking Lu Chimo if he had come over.
Upon learning that Lu Chimo had arrived yesterday, he sent someone to invite Lu Chimo over.
"Young Master Su." Lu Chimo walked in and looked at Su Fuliu, who was leaning against the headboard.
"Dr. Lu the Divine Physician".
"The prince has already told me the general outline of the matter. He said that in the next three days, Young Master Su will first teach me the Xuan Yin Needle Technique and the Xuan Xian Needle Technique, and then he will come to dig up the Pipa Hook after three days."
After hearing this, Su Fuliu shook her head.
Lu Chimo raised an eyebrow slightly: "No?"
"Well, I originally planned to have Doctor Lu dig out the pipa hook today, but... cough, it might not be possible today, so let's do it tomorrow." A suspicious blush flashed across Su Fuliu's face.
Lu Chimo frowned slightly as he looked at him: "So, you deliberately lied to the prince and said that you would dig up the pipa hook three days later?"
Su Fuliu nodded slightly: "If His Highness were here and saw me in pain, he would also feel very distressed."
Lu Chimo sighed softly: "That may be true, but if the prince comes back and sees that you have dug out the pipa hook, he will also be very sad, because he was not able to be by your side when you were in great pain."
"This..." Upon hearing this, Su Fuliu was at a loss for what to do.
“I know you don’t want the prince to be sad, but I think you should let him stay by your side. Otherwise, given his personality, if he finds out that he missed the chance to be there for you during your most painful time, he’ll go crazy.”
Su Fuliu lowered her head slightly, her hands involuntarily gripping the bedding tightly: "But, but I don't want him to see me in such a painful and disheveled state, and I don't want him to be sad because of me."
“I understand how you feel. I’ve said what I needed to say. As for whether to give in or not, it’s up to you. There’s still time, so think it over carefully,” Lu Chimo said.
"Um……"
"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. The prince said you would teach me the Mysterious Hidden Needle Technique and the Mysterious Manifestation Needle Technique, so I came here specifically to 'become his apprentice'." Seeing his expression, Lu Chimo changed the subject.
Su Fuliu then perked up and replied, "Dr. Lu is too modest. What you mean by 'apprenticeship' makes me feel guilty."
Lu Chimo smiled and said, "You are the one who is too modest. You should know that in this world, who can be such a good Crown Prince and be so loved? While busy assisting in the administration of the country, his medical skills are still so high. Compared to him, the difference between you and me is obvious."
Su Fuliu was a little embarrassed by the praise, and her fair face flushed pink: "Dr. Lu, you flatter me too much. Um... I, let me teach you the Xuan Yin Acupuncture Technique first."
He quickly changed the subject.
“Okay.” Lu Chimo nodded and began to learn from Su Fuliu.
When Feng Muting returned that evening, he went straight to his room.
Upon seeing him return, Xie Chen immediately turned and left.
When Feng Muting pushed open the door, he saw Lu Chimo in the room, still discussing acupuncture techniques with Su Fuliu.
The two were so engrossed in their discussion that they didn't even notice him enter.
He stood there, unsure whether to go over or stay where he was, and a pang of jealousy welled up inside him.
Chapter 380 Should Ah Liu coax me?
Feng Muting stood there for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before Su Fuliu finally noticed him: "Your Highness."
Lu Chimo quickly stood up and said, "Your Highness is back. Then, I shall take my leave."
After saying that, he nodded to Feng Muting and then left.
Feng Muting walked to the bedside and looked at Su Fuliu, who was leaning against the headboard: "How's the teaching going?"
“Yes, Doctor Lu is very smart; he learns quickly,” Su Fuliu replied.
"Oh," Feng Muting replied sourly.
"What's wrong, Tinglang? Why do you seem so down?" Su Fuliu asked.
"It's nothing, I just felt a little uncomfortable when I heard A-Liu praising other men."
Su Fuliu was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Tinglang, really, is this something to be unhappy about? Doctor Lu is helping me!"
"I know, but I just can't help it."
Seeing Feng Muting like this, Su Fuliu reached out and pinched his cheeks: "Tinglang, why are you like a child? You can get so temperamental all of a sudden?"
Feng Muting was somewhat flattered. His A-Liu had never flirted with him like this before. He excitedly raised his hand and placed it on A-Liu's hand: "Then, A-Liu, do you want to coax me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Fuliu leaned over and kissed him: "Tinglang, be good, don't be angry."
"..." Feng Muting was both amused and exasperated. Was Su Fuliu really treating him like a three-year-old?
Then, he reached out and pulled Su Fuliu into his arms: "This is not enough."
After saying that, he bit Su Fuliu's lips, sucking and nibbling at them.
The forceful kiss quickly left Su Fuliu breathless, and Feng Muting finally released him, laughing, "Next time you want to coax me, you'll have to do it like this."
It took Su Fuliu a while to recover, then she glared angrily at Feng Muting: "Tinglang, you always push your luck!"
"Is A-Liu angry? Looks like it's my turn to coax her." Feng Muting smiled mischievously.
Su Fuliu was taken aback, then immediately reached out to stop him: "I, I'm not angry, I'm fine!"
Feng Muting looked at Su Fuliu, who seemed afraid that he would kiss him again, so he grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms. He held him as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.
Su Fuliu nestled in his arms, thinking about digging out the pipa hook. Should he ask Feng Muting to accompany her?
"Tinglang..."
"Um?"
“I…” Su Fuliu pursed her lips, then hesitated.
Lu Chimo could imagine that Feng Muting would go crazy if he knew that he couldn't be by his side during that most painful moment, so how could he not imagine that scene?
In the end, Feng Muting will still suffer because of him, and will also feel guilty for missing out.
But if Feng Muting were to accompany him, Feng Muting would definitely share his sadness, but at least he wouldn't feel guilty.
So let's make our move three days from now. I won't hide it from Feng Muting anymore.
Seeing that he hesitated for a long time without speaking, Feng Muting lowered his head and asked, "What does A-Liu want to say?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to say that in three days, Doctor Lu will be removing the 'pipa hook' for me. Don't be sad or worried then, Tinglang. I can handle it. I'll just look a bit disheveled when it hurts, so please don't mind..."
"Fool, what are you saying? What do you mean by 'dislike' or 'not dislike'? I only wish I could take this pain away from you. But is there really no way to ease this pain?" Feng Muting asked.
“There are some herbs that can alleviate the pain a little, but when it comes to actually removing the pipa hook from the body, the effects of those herbs won’t numb the pain at all,” Su Fuliu replied.
Feng Muting hugged him tightly with heartache: "Don't be afraid, I will always stay by A-Liu's side. If A-Liu is in a lot of pain, just bite my hand, my shoulder, or anywhere else."
Su Fuliu shook her head: "I'll just bite the cloth, why do I have to bite Tinglang? Otherwise, if it really hurts, Tinglang's hand will be ruined."
Feng Muting sighed softly, "I'm really conflicted. I want A-Liu to become as powerful as before, but I can't bear to see her suffer that pain again. Just thinking about the image of A-Liu enduring that pain makes my heart ache."
He really didn't dare to think about it; just thinking about it made his heart ache.
Chapter 381 You little bastard, you still have the nerve to come back and see me?
"It's alright, Tinglang, I can manage. Just bear with it and it will pass. Don't worry too much, Tinglang," Su Fuliu said.
Feng Muting looked at him and sighed, "You, you should be the one comforting me, why are you the one comforting me instead?"
Su Fuliu smiled and said, "Because Tinglang has given me enough sense of security, I am not afraid. It is I who cannot give Tinglang enough sense of security, but it doesn't matter. After I recover my martial arts, I will protect Tinglang!"
Feng Muting laughed along, "Okay."
After saying that, he kissed Su Fuliu on the forehead.
Meanwhile, Xie Chen rushed back to his room and saw Su Yan holding his waist with one hand and pouring water into a cup with the other.
"Brother, let me do it." With that, he quickly ran over, eagerly took the teapot from Su Yan's hand, and poured water for Su Yan.
