"In that case, Guan Guan, Uncle Fang, from now on, when printing books and booklets, we'll use this Xuan paper for the regular editions, and we can use this Xie Gong paper for the collector's editions, which can be priced higher and sold to the children of wealthy families."

"Okay, I understand."

"This method is brilliant!"

Having witnessed the whole process, Manager Gong couldn't help but clap his hands in approval.

"Yes, once the final version of the manuscript arrives, we'll start printing it in batches. Then, we can also print storybooks and the like in the same way."

"Okay, let's print the books you sent last time."

Guan Guan said.

"Yes, I'll come and help when I have time."

Yun Duoduo said this while tidying up the table.

After everything was arranged, Guan Guan Fangyi and Yun Duoduo gave Manager Gong a few more instructions before leaving the Gong family's porcelain kiln.

...

On his way back from the bookstore, he ran into Jin Jinzhi, who was returning from the palace.

After the two ate vegetable and radish porridge, garlic pork belly, and stir-fried shredded vegetables in the front hall, Yun Duoduo pushed Jin Jinzhi to the bedroom.

Treatment for the legs requires acupuncture and massage every day; not a single day can be missed.

Are you tired?

Jin Jinzhi looked at Yun Duoduo, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking a little sleepy.

"yes."

Yun Duoduo said listlessly, staring at him.

[You ask me why I'm so tired, don't you know?]

[Even with his leg injured, he's still so eager, like a wolf or tiger. Who knows what he'll be like once his leg heals?]

Looks like I won't need to sleep at night anymore.

"Come here, I'm done with the acupuncture, I need to go back to sleep!"

Yun Duoduo waved to him and patted the empty space on the bed.

"How about we skip it today?"

Looking at her tired appearance, with her long eyelashes fluttering, Jin Jinzhi felt a pang of heartache for no reason.

Since he injured his leg, Yun Duoduo has visibly lost a lot of weight.

"That won't do!"

Yun Duoduo patted her face to cheer herself up and walked over to Jin Jinzhi's side.

"Have you taken all the medicine I was given?"

She lowered her head and asked him.

"have eaten."

That's more like it; at least he's obedient.

"Yes, although the medicine is bitter and sour, it is very effective. If you keep taking it, it will definitely work."

She took out silver needles from the medicine box on the table, looked at Jin Jinzhi, and pointed to his pants, "Take them off yourself."

Yun Duoduo yawned and stretched.

Jin Jinzhi felt somewhat uncomfortable listening to her cold command, and reluctantly unbuckled his belt.

"Hurry up, you're not allowed to do anything else tonight!"

Yun Duoduo warned him with her eyes.

Jin Jinzhi smiled. They say women are two-faced, but clearly, she looked like she was enjoying herself back then.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Jin Jinzhi pinched her soft little face.

Seeing that Jin Jinzhi had already sat on the bed quite consciously, she nodded in satisfaction. After the acupuncture, she could rest.

She gently massaged the acupoints on his legs and used silver needles to test the reactions of his acupoints.

Jin Jinzhi looked at her; her face was pale, slightly red in the candlelight, her lips looked soft, and strands of hair slid down his legs with her movements, making his heart itch.

She has been treating his legs for some time now, giving him acupuncture and massage every day.

He stared at her face, watching her serious expression. Without much thought, he leaned down, cupped Yun Duoduo's face, and kissed her soft, red lips.

Yun Duoduo's mind suddenly went blank, and she was no longer sleepy; she suddenly became alert.

All I could feel was soft, thin lips pressed against my lips, and the pleasant scent of borneol wafted to my nose.

What's going on here?

Did she touch something she shouldn't have?

Didn't we agree not to do anything reckless today?

[As expected, men are all liars...]

Her body suddenly lost all strength, and her head felt like it was lacking oxygen.

With her lips pressed tightly together, Yun Duoduo put down the silver needles in her hand, placed her hands on his chest, felt extremely hot all over, and felt her face and ears burning.

She could hear his heartbeat, thump-thump-thump, as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Both of them were breathing rapidly, and Yun Duoduo unconsciously wrapped her arms around Jin Jinzhi's neck, returning the kiss forcefully.

She felt close to the man in front of her and felt very safe; she liked this feeling very much.

Jin Jinzhi hugged her waist tightly.

Both of their actions were subconscious, without much thought.

The room was very quiet; the only sound was the rapid beating of their hearts.

After a while, Jin Jinzhi felt a slight pain from the silver needles pricking his legs. Reluctantly, he slowly released Yun Duoduo, placed his hands on her shoulders, and felt a surge of fire rising within him that was difficult to control.

After they separated, their rationality gradually returned, and the cold wind blowing in from the window made them both much more sober.

"It's agreed, treat the leg first." Yun Duoduo took a deep breath, looked at Jin Jinzhi, and there was a warning in her eyes.

Jin Jin nodded.

Yun Duoduo's face was very red, like a ripe peach. She lowered her head, fiddling with the silver needles in her hands, pressing acupoints, not daring to look up at Jin Jinzhi.

"Do you feel anything in your leg?"

Yun Duoduo's voice was very soft as she asked him with her head down.

Looking at Yun Duoduo's beautiful and charming face, Jin Jinzhi regretted letting her go earlier. Looking at Yun Duoduo's flushed face and red eyes, he wanted to cup her face in his hands again.

However, he ultimately did not reach out his hand, but simply stared at her intently. The woman before him was truly alluring.

"Yes, I can feel it, and the feeling gets stronger every day."

Jin Jinzhi's voice was a little hoarse. After speaking, he took a deep breath to calm the burning desire in his heart.

After saying that, he found it funny. He couldn't tell whether he was talking about the sensation in his leg or his feelings for Yun Duoduo.

"That's good."

Yun Duoduo swallowed hard to calm herself down. She rubbed her hands together and began to apply acupuncture to the acupoints.

When Yun Duoduo was administering acupuncture, Jin Jinzhi didn't speak or move around; she just looked at him with gentle, smiling eyes.

Time passed slowly, and Yun Duoduo, keeping track of the time, finally pulled out the last silver needle.

"Alright, the acupuncture is done."

Yun Duoduo stood up, packed the silver needles, and put them back in the medicine box. Her eyes never met his gaze; instead, she avoided his eyes.

She was exhausted and just wanted to lie down on the bed and sleep soundly. She knew that if Jin Jinzhi really wanted to do something to her, even if she was sleepy, she would still be unable to resist the feeling that Jin Jinzhi gave her.

That feeling is truly addictive.

Jin Jinzhi nodded; he noticed Yun Duoduo's panic and avoidance.
