Ling Xin finally made it to the back door of the Holy Grove Pavilion, but in a moment of distraction, she collided head-on with a man.
The man fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.
Ling Xin was momentarily stunned, thinking to herself, what a frail scholar, how could he be so weak?
Curiously, she reached out and brushed aside the hair that obscured his face. She gasped sharply upon seeing that the man was covered in sores, his form barely recognizable.
Ling Xin stared intently at the wounds on his face and couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Oh!"
Quickly glancing around and finding no one in sight, her eyes lit up. She hurriedly hoisted him up and fled like a cat sneaking away with a prize.
"What is this?" Pei Xiuping slowly regained consciousness, only to find himself lying in bed, unable to move.
Through the copper mirror by the wall, he was horrified to see himself completely naked, while the woman before him was applying a thick black substance onto his body. His sharp gaze locked onto her as he demanded, "Who are you?"
"I am Ling Xin. What happened to you? You're all covered in wounds," Ling Xin replied, focused on applying the ointment. "This medicine is something I just developed; let's see how it works."
Ling Xin? The eccentric Divine Physician? He recalled her saying she wouldn't treat him anymore. Pei Xiuping quickly asked, "Can it cure me?"
"I don't know. But you're already in this state; if I don't treat you, you'll die anyway. Let me at least try my new medicine," she said.
A wave of panic surged through Pei Xiuping as he felt an overwhelming urge to escape. Being completely exposed and vulnerable was deeply unsettling for him.
He struggled to sit up, but Ling Xin's soft hand gently pressed against his chest. "Don't move; I won't let you die so easily."
Seeing her earnest promise left Pei Xiuping momentarily speechless, and he forgot about wanting to flee.
Ling Xin continued to apply the ointment diligently while thinking that even if he were to die, she had to help test her new medicine first...
Pei Xiuping's days at Yiming Pavilion were incredibly comfortable; aside from basking in the sun, there was hardly anything else to do.
Ling Xin took care of him meticulously, changing his bandages on time every day. Life was so pleasant that Pei Xiuping felt it was almost unreal, as if he were dreaming.
However, good times never last long.
One day, while changing his bandages, Ling Xin touched his chin and wore a silly grin, her mouth stretching into an exaggerated smile as she excitedly exclaimed, "This is great! The medicine is ready!"
So in the end, he was still just a tool for Drug Testing? Just as Pei Xiuping thought to move, Ling Xin pressed him down again.
Her hands were so soft that Pei Xiuping found himself reluctant to let her go. Once she finished applying the medicine, Ling Xin stretched lazily and shot him a sideways glance, saying, "This medicine isn’t cheap; you owe me!"
Pei Xiuping raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, after playing with him, she wants payment?
Ling Xin smiled contentedly and continued, "Since you have no money, you'll have to pay with your body! Now, I’m going to take a bath; you go prepare." With that, she sprawled lazily on the chair, watching the man wrapped in bandages scurry about.
These past few days, she had been entirely focused on developing the medicine and nearly collapsed from exhaustion. Now it was her turn to enjoy herself.
Pei Xiuping boiled some hot water and called her in. Ling Xin sleepily raised her hand and weakly said, "I’m so tired..."
Without a word, Pei Xiuping scooped her up in his arms and strode into the inner room, personally helping her out of her clothes.
When Ling Xin finally woke up, she found herself unceremoniously tossed into the bathtub, completely naked.
"What are you doing?" Ling Xin glared at Pei Xiuping angrily and shouted. It was improper for men and women to be so intimate! She had been exposed!
Pei Xiuping merely smiled at her and replied, "I’m here to help you bathe. Didn’t you say I should pay with my body?"
Ling Xin's face turned beet red as she shouted in exasperation, "I meant labor! Labor! Who wants your body!"
Looking into his eyes, filled with a narrow, mischievous grin, she swore he was deliberately misinterpreting her words.
"Is that not the case?" Pei Xiuping said with a face full of regret.
In the next moment, Pei Xiuping's hand plunged into the water, snatching away the towel she had used to cover herself. Ling Xin was utterly furious. "What do you want…"
"Right now, I’m using my labor to help you scrub your back," he said earnestly. "Miss, I truly hope to do something for you; I would feel guilty otherwise."
What a ridiculous notion! He would feel guilty? It was nothing but revenge! Ling Xin gritted her teeth in anger; even though his face was still wrapped in bandages, she could sense his mocking laughter—brazen and audacious!
Ling Xin was infuriated, regretting ever saving him in the first place!
As she regained her composure, she found Pei Xiuping smiling at her again, holding up a wet wipe innocently. "Miss, it’s time to wash the front."
Ling Xin was left speechless.
She felt as if she might burst into flames from embarrassment and fury!
Finally, unable to contain herself any longer, Ling Xin roared, "Get out of here!"
