Han, a doctor?
Han Mo's movements paused slightly as he looked up at Bai Xi.
Bai Xi also looked at him calmly, her clear eyes devoid of any ripples.
In an instant, Han Mo panicked. He stepped forward and said, "Xi'er..."
Bai Xi ignored him and turned directly to Xuan Feng, who was standing in front of her. "Let's go. You go this way, I'll go that way. Whichever one of us finds it first will signal. Rock climbing is strenuous, so we'll return every hour to replenish our energy."
Xuan Feng nodded. "Alright."
With that, he headed in the direction Bai Xi indicated to search.
Han Mo watched Bai Xi's figure disappear into the darkness.
Han Rui raised an eyebrow and looked at Han Mo. "Dr. Han, aren't you truly bold? To tug at another 'woman's' clothes right in front of your girlfriend, and then look at her with lingering fondness. If I win in the future, it will feel rather dishonorable."
Han Mo knitted his brows, and after a long pause, he spoke. "I have my reasons."
Han Rui's delicate phoenix eyes lifted slightly. "How amusing. Who in this world acts without reason? But if you truly cherish someone, you must place her feelings above all your reasons. Otherwise, if you're not single, who should be? Moreover, Little Xi'er isn't someone who makes a fuss or acts dramatically. This matter is your fault from the start."
Han Mo frowned. "I can feel that she's angry, but... I don't know why she's angry."
He knew it when she refused to let him hold her hand.
He wanted to show his affection, but she wouldn't give him any chance. What should he do?
Being able to stay by her side was his lifelong wish. Now... he had made her unhappy, to the point where she didn't even want to hold his hand, but was willing to have him follow her.
Seeing him like this, Han Rui was speechless. His delicate phoenix eyes shifted slightly. "You don't know why she's angry?"
Han Mo turned his head and looked at him. "You know?"
Han Rui tilted his chin up slightly, a proud expression on his face. "Of course, I do!"
Han Mo immediately stepped forward. "Why?"
Seeing Han Mo's demeanor, Han Rui felt even more smug. "Heh, we're rivals. Why should I tell you?"
Han Mo frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "When I treated your injuries before, I felt your pulse. Your condition suggests you're prone to acne but also have a great appetite. If you're willing to help me, I can give you a prescription. Once you take it, you can eat whatever you like without worrying about acne."
Han Rui blinked in surprise. "Are you serious?"
Han Mo nodded. "If it's ineffective, you can do whatever you want with me."
Han Rui was immediately tempted.
For a foodie, the greatest pleasure is eating. But for someone who values appearance, acne on their face is absolutely unacceptable. Due to his tendency to break out, he had already refused many delicious foods. He hadn't dared to touch hot pot or milk tea for the past half month.
If someone could allow him to eat freely without the worry of acne, it would be like a savior sent from heaven.
Although he was already swayed, he had to maintain some composure.
He cleared his throat to alleviate his awkwardness, then put on an air of wisdom. "You must remember, no matter how capable or strong Little Xi'er is, she is still a woman. For a woman like Little Xi'er, who lacks nothing, your loyalty, devotion, and chastity are the best dowry you can give her. If you can't even be loyal, how can you expect to be of one heart and mind with her? It would be better to step aside early."
Han Mo thought for a moment. "I am devoted to Xi'er and have no other intentions."
He had waited faithfully for over three hundred years for her return, so how could he be disloyal?
Han Rui immediately said, "You were staring at that female corpse just now and even tried to pull at her clothes. Xi'er must think you have feelings for that female corpse, which is why she's angry! Or perhaps... jealous!"
Although he had never been in a relationship, with his handsome face, he had countless women surrounding him. He could see the thoughts of these women and understand what their expressions meant.
Although Little Xi'er was different from them, and might not even know her own emotions, he could see clearly that she was jealous.
This indirectly proved that Han Mo was very important to Little Xi'er.
Han Mo blinked, his understanding dawning, his eyes lighting up. "You mean... Xi'er is jealous?"
Han Rui smiled. "Yes, that's what I mean."
Han Mo felt immense joy at this moment.
If Xi'er was jealous, she must care about him.
Han Rui, his face beaming with joy, couldn't help but pour cold water on him. "A woman's jealousy is no small matter, especially for a strong woman like Little Xi'er. She can dote on you and protect you, but she can also replace you. Then I'll have my chance, haha."
Han Mo naturally understood, but... as long as Xi'er had feelings for him, he could strive to win her back. With this thought, he flipped over the black backpack on his back, took out two porcelain bottles, and handed them to Han Rui.
Han Rui's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the two porcelain bottles, and he didn't immediately take them. "You speak so confidently, but your products are so strange. Honestly, aren't you a fan of ancient aesthetics?"
Han Mo raised an eyebrow slightly. "The yellow bottle is for internal use, and the green bottle is for external use. You need to take one pill a day for a week for the internal medicine. For the external medicine, you can use it daily or every other day. It will make your skin smoother and more radiant, and you won't get acne again."
After speaking, he tossed them over.
Han Rui jumped in surprise and quickly caught them. "Oh, you should have said so earlier. What if they broke accidentally? Fortunately, I have quick reflexes, or they would have fallen to the ground and shattered."
Han Mo was still immersed in the thought that his Xi'er would be jealous of him, completely indifferent to whether Han Rui's items were intact or what he was saying.
Seeing him revert to his previous behavior, Han Rui frowned slightly. "Hmph, such manners!"
Although he said that, he still carefully tucked the two porcelain bottles into his pockets. After securing them properly, he imperiously added, "Of course, if these things don't work, I'll be coming for you."
Despite his words, he did have some faith in Han Mo.
He had heard from his grandfather before that Han Mo had used a poisonous powder during a confrontation that, with a light sniff, could cause poisoning and incapacitate Xuan Feng without him realizing it. Moreover, after being beaten by his grandfather until he vomited blood, it was Han Mo who helped him recover.
The Han family was, after all, a family of medicine, so their doctors were excellent. The Han family physician had told him to rest well, and that he wouldn't be able to move for at least a month. However, Han Mo had prepared some medicine for him, which allowed him to recover within seven days.
Therefore, he actually believed in Han Mo's medical skills, and it was precisely because of this that he was so tempted when Han Mo proposed the exchange.
Han Mo said indifferently, "If it's ineffective, you are welcome to find me."
Just then, a faint cry for help came from the dark corridor. "Help me, please, help me!"
