The man lay on the broken wooden bed, utterly powerless. He appeared so fragile, yet there was an exquisite, tortured beauty about him!
Such a pitiful, handsome young man. It truly made one's heart ache! And it made one want to bully him! *Sob sob sob!*
Su Muqing: When did I become so perverted? No, no! She was no longer the infatuated, fan-girl of her past life. Now, she was a pure, little country girl! She couldn't ruin her persona.
However, this man was simply too tempting. He was like a demon, yet like an immortal. He was practically an elf who had fallen to the mortal realm! Such unparalleled beauty. Not of this world! Not of this world!
It's over! I'm done for! With her expression just now, like she had eaten dog excrement, her first impression in the eyes of this handsome man must have been terrible!
If only she could start over! *Cries tears.*
Seeing the adoration in Su Muqing's eyes and the constantly shifting expressions on her face, Xu Fu looked down on her even more. A hint of displeasure showed on his face. Truly, a country bumpkin, staring so brazenly at a man. How indecent!
Xu Fu turned sideways, blocking Huo Qiyuan's face, and then said to Zhou Shi, "Zhou Shi, quickly take this girl out. Young Master cannot receive guests at the moment."
However, Zhou Shi did not heed Xu Fu's words. This was the first time she had disobeyed Xu Fu's orders. If it were any other time, Zhou Shi would have immediately complied.
But at this very moment, she had a strong premonition driving her, urging her not to send Su Muqing away. Otherwise, she would surely regret it!
Many years later, Su Muqing would jokingly complain to Zhou Shi, saying she shouldn't have been so eager to bring her to see Huo Qiyuan. As a result, every time she recalled their first meeting, she felt speechless!
And why was that? Because at that time, both of them were in a terrible state! One looked disheveled and covered in filth, while the other appeared utterly disheveled and on the verge of death!
It was like a beggar meeting a homeless person. Looking at each other, they actually felt pity for the other! It seemed neither of them had looked in a mirror for quite some time!
Perhaps Xu Fu was too well-mannered, which caused Su Muqing not to notice his unhappiness. After she snapped out of the shock of seeing the handsome man, she realized the smell of chili in the room was a bit pungent.
There were many red things on the ground. If one didn't look closely, one might think someone was chopping meat. But upon closer inspection, she saw red mixed with specks of white, like chili seeds. And the handsome man also had the same substance on his lips.
So, had this handsome man gone mad from eating chili?
"Did he choke on chili, and it went into his trachea? Quickly give him some water to drink and clean his mouth!" Noticing the handsome man was uncomfortable, Su Muqing quickly said to Zhou Shi.
"Oh, oh! Alright, I'll go right away." Zhou Shi didn't hesitate at all upon hearing Su Muqing's words. She turned and went to fetch water.
Su Muqing walked up to Xu Fu and reached out to pull Huo Qiyuan up. Seeing this, Xu Fu immediately stepped forward to block her. "What are you doing?"
Only then did Su Muqing realize that this beardless man, who spoke in a high-pitched, thin voice, looked at her with an unfriendly gaze. Why was that?
"He has an obstruction in his trachea, causing severe coughing. If not treated, he could even suffocate to death." Su Muqing, having studied medicine, understood basic emergency situations.
Seeing Huo Qiyuan's face turning increasingly dark red, clearly indicating difficulty breathing, she quickly explained to Xu Fu.
Seeing that her expression was not feigned, Xu Fu quickly asked Doctor Yang to examine him. Doctor Yang was also startled by Huo Qiyuan's appearance and quickly checked him. He found that his breathing was indeed a little rapid and nodded at Xu Fu.
"Then why aren't you quickly administering the needles?" Xu Fu, seeing Doctor Yang nod, became anxious and urged him to quickly perform acupuncture on Huo Qiyuan!
Doctor Yang felt a bit pressured. His skill was in acupuncture, which could only promote the absorption of medication. He wasn't skilled in immortal or demonic arts. Even if he turned the Young Master into a pincushion, he couldn't help him dislodge the foreign object!
"Let me!" Su Muqing saw Doctor Yang's dilemma. She couldn't bear to see the handsome man in so much discomfort, so she volunteered and pulled Doctor Yang aside.
Xu Fu naturally disagreed. If even the experienced military doctor Yang couldn't help, what could a young girl from a poor family do? His disdain was evident. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Su Muqing wanted to help, but Xu Fu blocked her. Just then, Zhou Shi came in with the water!
"Elder Xu, please! Just let her try! Really!" Zhou Shi had always had a premonition that Su Muqing might be the destined person. Hearing her voluntarily offer to help, she looked earnestly at Xu Fu, hoping he would no longer object!
