Chapter 31

Before helping the young master to come up with ideas, the young nurse carefully read the online article "108 Ways to Flirt with a Man, Teaches You How to Hook a Man into a Dog".

After reading it, I felt enlightened and full of confidence.

"Young Master, the tutorial says there are many ways to seduce a man. We need to proceed step by step and lure the enemy deeper. Different people are suited to different methods. We can try them one by one, starting with the simplest one."

Su Yin glanced at the screen and was stunned. People in this era are quite...good at having fun.

"First of all, when a man is indifferent to you, we need to create an opportunity for contact. The first step is to take advantage of the opportunity. Young Sect Master can try to approach the dean and comfort him when he is vulnerable and in need of care." The young nurse explained clearly.

"The book says that when a man is physically and mentally exhausted, or sick, that's when he's most vulnerable. People are made of flesh and blood, so this is the best time to get close to him. You should seize the opportunity to warm his heart. No man can resist such care!"

Su Yin suddenly realized, "So I have to take advantage of Xie Lingxu when he's sick or very tired!"

Young nurse: “Yes!”

The only question is when he gets sick or very tired.

Su Yin's eyes were spinning like wheels, and a plan gradually emerged in his mind.

The weather has warmed up recently, but it is still very cool at night.

The next morning, Su Yin moved a stool and sat at the door of Xie Lingxu's room. The black door completely blocked the two spaces, making it impossible to peek into anything inside.

She waited for a long, long time, and the pointer on the wall moved from nine to ten, but she didn't see anyone.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yin said with certainty: "He is sick."

"Is it such a coincidence?" The young nurse pricked up her ears to listen, but unfortunately the heavy door blocked out all the sounds inside.

Just as I was about to take advantage of the situation, the dean fell ill. It was really destined.

"God help the young master!"

Su Yin waved his hand modestly.

There is no such thing as God's help, but everything depends on human efforts.

Last night she froze a large basin of ice and quietly placed it at the foot of the window in Xie Lingxu's bedroom.

According to her previous experience of sneaking into the dean's office, this man would open the window when he slept, and the quilt was thin. The night wind blew icy cold air into the room, making it easy for him to catch a cold.

If there are no conditions, create them. It’s no big deal.

Su Yin's lips curled up, and she suppressed her smile in the admiring gaze of the young nurse. She stood up discreetly, took a glass of water in a formal manner, and then knocked on the door of Xie Lingxu's room.

"Hey, are you awake, Dean?"

After waiting for one or two seconds, there was no response from the room.

She frowned and knocked again, this time louder, "Are you awake?"

Still no sound.

"Isn't he so sick that he can't get out of bed?"

Is Xie Lingxu so weak?

The young nurse glanced at the tightly closed door, wanting to say something but stopping herself. The dean looked... not so weak, right?

Before she could speak, Su Yin had already made up her mind, "No, I have to go into this room today."

She rolled up her sleeves and instructed the nurse, "Go outside and keep an eye on the situation. If you see Tian Xiao, Gu Qian'an, or anyone else coming, calm them down first. Wait until I take care of Xie Lingxu before letting them in."

Although she didn't know what she was going to do, the young nurse still obediently ran to the gate of the hospital and stood guard.

The curtains in Xie Lingxu's room were drawn, so he couldn't see what was going on inside. Su Yin leaned against the glass and listened for a while, but there was no sound at all.

The basin of water that represented her guilt was quietly placed in the corner. The ice inside had melted, leaving only a basin of clear water that was almost overflowing.

She felt a surge of uneasiness in her heart for no reason. Could it be that this basin of ice really made her... so sick that she was so quiet that she looked like she was dying?

No way, is it so useless?

After thinking for a moment, Su Yin made up his mind, opened the curtain, and put half a foot on the windowsill.

I looked up, but before I could see what was happening on the bed, my eyes met the slowly opening door.

The person who had not shown up all morning was standing at the door, his eyes meeting hers with a stern expression. Further behind her, the young nurse covered her mouth and tried desperately to signal her, and Assistant Fu Yan opened his mouth so wide that an egg could fit in it.

At this moment, Su Yin had one foot on the window frame, with the other leg still stuck outside, in a heroic posture. Fortunately, he was wearing pants, so there was no indecent scene.

Her breathing hitched, and the foot that had been trying to climb up slowly retracted, "...What a coincidence."

Assistant Fu Yan was silent for a moment, then looked at the dean's expression. Emotionally, he still wanted to stay and continue enjoying the melon, but rationally, he had to say goodbye: "It seems that the timing is not right. I'll invite you two another day. Dean, I'm going back first."

Only three people from Courtyard No. 3 were left.

Su Yin was still stuck on the windowsill, unable to move up or down.

She turned around and saw the basin of water. If she didn't look carefully, she wouldn't have noticed it, but in this situation, she could not ignore it as long as she walked to the window.

After weighing the pros and cons, he made up his mind and put his other foot on the window frame.

In order to reduce the noise, she took off her shoes when climbing the window this time and wrapped her feet with a pair of pure white cotton socks. At this moment, both of her feet were grabbing the table, and people could see the awkward movement of her toes.

The scene was silent.

Xie Lingxu frowned, as if he was trying hard to endure something. After a few breaths, he uttered a cold question, "What is the patient doing?"

"I... I knocked on the door this morning but there was no response, so I wanted to come in and take a look..."

As she spoke, Su Yin moved to the side guiltily, trying to cover herself with the curtain that was not fully opened.

On the windowsill, a silver light flashed by.

The light flashed into Xie Lingxu's eyes, and he subconsciously said: "Don't-"

It was too late. Su Yin was even frightened by his voice and moved more violently, stepping firmly on that place.

The worker casually placed the thumbtack left over from yesterday on the windowsill, and the sharp tip instantly pierced the flesh.

She screamed, and the large movement broke her balance, making her shaky. In addition, her left foot was injured and she couldn't exert any strength. However, she held on for a moment before falling forward.

Xie Lingxu's body reacted faster than his brain. He took half a step forward and stood still again.

Although the wooden floor was not as hard as the tiles, with her current physical condition, falling on it would undoubtedly be a serious injury, not to mention landing face first.

At the critical moment, Su Yin pushed hard with her right foot and threw herself into the dark gray quilt. The familiar fresh breath instantly wrapped her completely, as if she was held tightly in the man's arms.

She froze instantly, and the fluffy goose down quilt was crumpled into a ball. In the end, she couldn't resist her guilty conscience and buried her face completely in the quilt, not daring to look up at the expressions of the three people outside the door.

Anyway, since it's like this, then... let it be...

The white cotton socks were quickly soaked with blood, leaving a large scarlet stain that was eye-catching.

"Young Sect Master!"

The young nurse was the first to react and exclaimed, but considering that this was the dean's room, she didn't dare to go in.

She explained anxiously, "Dean, the Young Master knocked on your door this morning but didn't hear you answer. He thought you were sick, so he resorted to this desperate measure."

"Dean, the young master's foot is seriously injured!"

Xie Lingxu squeezed his eyes shut, suppressing the negative emotions in his heart. He ordered coldly, "Go get the tetanus vaccine, and also, get a wheelchair."

"Yes!" The young nurse hurried away.

Previously, Su Yin thought the wheelchair was an eyesore and had it thrown away. Now, only the medical building has wheelchairs, and tetanus vaccines are also in the medical building.

Su Yin, who had been pretending to be a quail, looked up and wanted to ask the nurse to stay. At this time, she didn't want to be alone with Xie Lingxu at all.

When she looked up, she saw the man's extremely bad expression, which was almost the same as the one when he chopped her with a sword in her previous life. Her heart trembled and she buried her head again.

Three words came out muffled from under the quilt: "I'm sorry."

Xie Lingxu was almost laughing out of anger. It was clearly her who did all these meaningless things, so why did she act so aggrieved, as if he was bullying her?

This scene was extremely eye-catching. A glowing white person was buried on the cold, dark bed. She seemed to be embedded in the bed, blending seamlessly with the quilt. Her hair was spread out softly, as if she was the owner of the bed.

There was never another person in his bed.

Even more eye-catching was the pool of blood, spreading across the pure white cotton fabric. It was trembling slightly with pain, and the iron nail was still stuck in the flesh, gathering into a drop of blood that dripped onto the floor.

All those complicated and negative emotions were instantly melted away by the blood. He looked down at the white mass in the gray and took a deep breath silently.

Xie Lingxu walked to the bedside, and the white ball in the quilt shrank reflexively.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Su Yin's throat felt a little tight, and she didn't know whether she was resisting him or was afraid of the person who looked exactly like him.

Exposing your back to the enemy at this moment is tantamount to suicide.

Xie Lingxu asked casually, not wanting her answer.

He leaned over and rolled the person up in the quilt. After making sure that he wouldn't touch any place he shouldn't touch, he reached his hand through the quilt through her legs. With his other hand, he lightly supported her shoulders and picked her up sideways.

Su Yin breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

You can expose your back to him.

The next second, she realized it was too early.

Something more intense than the remaining scent on the quilt surrounded her in every possible way, pressing in from all directions. Su Yin had no way to escape and finally gave up resistance.

Even through the quilt, she could still feel the hard, tense muscles underneath. Her whole body was stiff, and she curled up in the quilt with a hopeless look. She could catch a glimpse of the man's taut jawline out of the corner of her eye.

He seemed far less at ease than he appeared.

The journey was very quick, and in the blink of an eye, she was placed on her bed.

Xie Lingxu took three steps back as if relieved, keeping the distance between them within an absolutely safe range.

Only then did he breathe freely.

But this is Su Yin's bedroom, where she lives day and night. The breath that she dared not touch when she got close came over her like a tide, almost drowning her.

In the past twenty years of my life, I have never had such an experience.

Xie Lingxu opened the window as if to escape, and the outside air flowed in, and the strange itchiness in his lungs was finally suppressed.

No one spoke.

Su Yin struggled out of the quilt that didn't belong to her, and her mind, which had been a little dizzy from what had just happened, finally became a little clearer.

She propped herself up with her arms and sat up, took out a box of cold medicine from her pocket, handed it to Xie Lingxu, and said honestly, "I'm sorry, I thought you were sick, so..."

Xie Lingxu didn't answer. "Why would I be sick for no reason?"

Su Yin lowered her eyes guiltily, turned around and tried to bury herself in the quilt again.

"Don't move."

The medicine in my hand was taken away, and my fingertips inevitably touched each other.

Both hands moved back synchronously, and the pills fell to the ground.

The sound was not loud, but it was like turning on a switch. Xie Lingxu picked up the things without saying a word and took out a pair of gloves from the drawer of the counter.

The white rubber gloves fit tightly against the skin, and the hands with distinct joints look even more slender in the restraints.

He bent his knees and squatted, holding Su Yin's feet with his hands.

Su Yin instinctively retracted her feet, avoiding his touch. She was a little frightened, "Aren't you a mysophobe?"

"You are the patient and I am your attending physician."

When Xie Lingxu said these words, he kept his head down, making it impossible to see his emotions. His tone was calm, but his movements were not gentle. On the contrary, he held her ankle very firmly.

No one had ever touched her feet like this in her two lifetimes combined. Su Yin pursed her lips and curled up her toes uncomfortably. She wanted to hide, but she was firmly restrained, and all her movements were exposed.

The thumbtack didn't go in very deep. Xie Lingxu lowered his eyes and observed for a while, but his gaze couldn't help but drift towards his restless toes.

As if feeling his gaze, those round toes curled up even more, and the extent of the twisting could be clearly seen even through a layer of cloth.

Xie Lingxu realized the offense and closed his eyes as if he was scalded. He opened them again and looked intently at the wound.

When the toes are curled up, the muscles are pulled, causing more blood to flow from the wound.

He couldn't stand it any longer and patted her instep lightly, "Don't move."

It really didn't move, it was completely frozen.

"Hold it."

It didn't hurt that much originally, but once he said those two words, the feeling on the soles of her feet became infinitely magnified. This body wasn't as tough and thick as hers, and her skin was so delicate that it couldn't withstand injuries. She felt so much pain that her eyes turned red for no reason.

Before pulling it out, Xie Lingxu raised his eyes to check on her condition, but unexpectedly bumped into a pair of misty eyes.

His sword had pierced her body, but he had never seen her shed a tear.

Does it hurt so much?

He hesitantly let go.

The force on her feet suddenly loosened, and Su Yin swayed strangely, "Are you not going to pull it out anymore?"

As soon as she said that, her restless feet were restrained again. Xie Lingxu lowered his head, without looking at her or speaking, and pulled out the nail neatly.

The person on the bed's breathing suddenly became heavier, and he sniffed, then quickly returned to normal.

The wound needs to be drained of some blood to prevent infection.

but……

He hesitated again. His eyes turned red just by pulling out the nail. It hurt so much that it squeezed out blood. Would she cry?

The righteous leader, who had always acted cleanly and efficiently, was so hesitant for the first time, slowed down by a small thumbtack and hesitated again and again.

After hesitating for a moment, he looked up again.

She didn't cry. She looked at her feet with wide eyes, then looked at him because of his gaze. There was obvious confusion in her moist pupils.

After a few seconds, Xie Lingxu was the first to look away, "I need to squeeze out the blood."

"Um."

Su Yin obediently put her foot into his hand, "Then squeeze in."

In fact, it didn't hurt much. Compared with the injuries she had suffered before, this one was nothing. It was probably just a subconscious reaction before her body could react.

Xie Lingxu didn't say much. He held his ankle and quickly took off the blood-stained cotton socks.

The woman's delicate and small feet were fully exposed before his eyes.

He realized belatedly that something was wrong.

People of this era don't seem to care about these things, but in their time and space, only a Taoist partner or husband can touch a girl's feet.

Almost the moment the piece of skin came into view, Xie Lingxu quickly closed his eyes.

Without the barrier of cotton socks, even though he was wrapped in a layer of rubber gloves, the warmth and softness were transmitted to his fingertips as if there was no hindrance. He let go of his hand without thinking.

With her head lowered, Su Yin couldn't see the expression on his face, but she felt the restraints on her feet disappear.

She swung her feet slightly and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Wait for the nurse to come and let her help you."

"ah?"

Why did you suddenly ask the nurse to come in the middle of the process?

Su Yin couldn't understand, "Can't you just finish it for me?"

"I won't."

She was even more confused, "But didn't you just say you wanted to squeeze out the blood?"

Xie Lingxu resisted the urge to push the flailing foot away, still keeping his head down, "I didn't know how to control my strength."

Su Yin pondered the meaning of this sentence, "Oh, you are afraid that I will feel pain."

His tone became cheerful again, and he assured her, "Don't worry, I have a strong pain tolerance and won't cry out in pain."

lie.

The pair of misty eyes appeared in Xie Lingxu's mind.

It hurt so much just now that I cried.
