But it pained me to see it, Su Yueya thought to herself.
The muscles beneath her fingertips, initially relaxed, suddenly tensed up, a fact that Su Yueya keenly noticed.
But she was too embarrassed to ask, so she could only pretend not to know.
The atmosphere should have been romantic and ambiguous, but one was preoccupied with feeling sorry for the other, while the other was focused on dealing with the itch.
Those burns have now healed, becoming twisted scars that climb up Lu Zhengjun's back, and his senses have become sluggish and numb.
When Su Yueya applied the medicine to him, he felt a slight itch on his skin, which he had to fight with all his might, but he managed to endure it.
"Flip it over," Su Yueya said.
She almost laughed at her own statement.
"How about... I just do it myself from the front?" Lu Zhengjun said, thinking that he could see from the front himself, so there was no need to trouble Su Yueya.
Besides, it always felt a little awkward to just lie there so openly in front of her.
"Anyway, my hands are already covered in ointment, so don't bother. I'll apply it for you in a few seconds, and we can get some rest," Su Yueya said.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
It sounds like it's hard to refute.
So Lu Zhengjun just lay there, obediently letting Su Yueya apply the medicine for him.
Su Yueya was initially very focused on applying the product, but later her gaze unconsciously swept over a certain area—well, there was no reaction.
That's true. Everyone knows that Lu Zhengjun is no longer capable, so it's reasonable that she doesn't react, right?
After applying the ointment, Lu Zhengjun immediately sat up and got dressed.
Su Yueya went to wash her hands.
The two rested.
This situation has continued for several days in a row.
Su Yueya immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Lu Zhengjun is indeed infertile, but a certain part of his body is still intact. Could it be that... he is really no longer able to have children?
There was no way around it, because Lu Zhengjun had been too well-behaved lately.
When he said he was going to sleep, he was just sleeping peacefully and quietly. Unlike before, when he would hold Su Yueya while sleeping, now there was an invisible dividing line between them on the bed.
Whether it works or not, the instruments can't detect it.
But should I really ask?
Su Yueya was too embarrassed to ask directly, and more importantly, she was afraid that she really couldn't do it. What if asking directly hurt Lu Zhengjun's male pride?
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Lu Zhengjun asked.
Su Yueya hadn't uttered a sound since she finished washing up and returned. First, she sat at the dressing table and wiped her face. After wiping her face, she started to stare blankly, glancing at Lu Zhengjun every now and then.
This left Lu Zhengjun completely baffled.
"No, I'm going to sleep right away," Su Yueya said, getting up and going to the bedside, lifting the covers and lying down.
Then she turned her head and stared at Lu Zhengjun with her big eyes.
There's no reaction at all?
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
What's wrong now?
"Crescent Moon, is there something you want to tell me?" Lu Zhengjun asked, noticing that Su Yueya's gaze was a little strange.
But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, which made him unsure how to start a conversation even though he wanted to.
"No, go to sleep." After saying that, Su Yueya pulled the blanket over herself.
That invisible Chu-Han boundary still exists.
That day, Su Yueya took Lu Zhengjun back to her parents' home for a meal.
"Zhengjun, how have you been recovering lately? I heard you went back to the army a while ago. Are you getting used to it?" Liu Yuying asked with concern.
"I'm recovering quite well. The military positions are mostly cushy now, so there aren't many physical requirements," Lu Zhengjun replied truthfully.
Since only Qiao Xinruo and Lu Zhengjun in the family know about the space, and the others don't know, it can't be said that Lu Zhengjun's internal injuries have been completely healed.
"You look great. No wonder you're a king of soldiers, you've got some skills!" Qiao Gaoyang said.
He also casually touched Lu Zhengjun's pectoral muscles.
Wow, I didn't expect that after lying down for over a month, my pectoral muscles wouldn't have shrunk and would still be intact.
What kind of constitution does this person have?
"Wow, brother-in-law, how did you get those breasts? Any secrets?" Qiao Gaoyang asked, he wanted to get them like that too.
"Well... more training, but I didn't specifically train," Lu Zhengjun said truthfully.
Qiao Gaoyang's words immediately made Su Yueya miss the feel of Lu Zhengjun's pectoral muscles, but unfortunately, she hadn't felt them in a long time.
"The Emperor is recovering quite well; the speed is much faster than I expected," Qiao Hanxue suddenly said.
Su Yueya, Qiao Xinruo, and Lu Zhengjun exchanged glances, but no one responded to his words.
After all, Qiao Hanxue is also an expert. He has probably seen more cases than the patients they have cured. It's not something that can be easily dismissed with a few words.
"Yueya, the grapes are peeled, you can eat them." Lu Zhengjun had been peeling grapes and had filled a small dish, which he then placed directly in front of Su Yueya.
Because of his movement, the sleeve of his shirt was pulled back, revealing half of his forearm, where the scars had faded considerably.
Qiao Hanxue, with his sharp eyes, noticed and grabbed Lu Zhengjun's arm.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
His father-in-law held his hand, and he didn't know whether to pull it back or not.
"Dad?" Lu Zhengjun asked nervously, wondering if he had been found out.
"Zhengjun, I remember your arm injury was quite severe, with many scars. How come it looks so much lighter now?" Qiao Hanxue looked at Lu Zhengjun's face again. "It's fading faster than the scars on your face!"
One sentence silenced the three people who knew the inside story.
"Um... well," Lu Zhengjun looked at Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo, blinking frantically for help, "I don't know what happened either."
Qiao Hanxue was not so easily fooled, and Lu Zhengjun was afraid that if she said something wrong, she would expose her secret.
Saying nothing is actually safer; leave professional lies to professionals!
But Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo's brains weren't enough at the moment.
“Dad, Zhengjun used scar removal cream, so the scars will naturally fade gradually, otherwise it would be a waste of time,” Su Yueya explained.
"What scar removal cream is this? It works so well! Let me see it," Qiao Hanxue said, not bothering with formalities with his daughter and son-in-law.
"Dad, how about I bring it to show you next time? It's usually kept by the bedside, I don't have it with me," Lu Zhengjun said, making an excuse.
Are you really going to show Qiao Hanxue?
Wouldn't that make it easy for him to see that this isn't the scar removal cream that's currently available?
"Is that scar removal cream you're using really effective? Where did you buy it? I want to buy one and try it out. I have a scar on my elbow that hasn't faded, and I was just thinking about where to get a scar removal cream to get rid of it," Qiao Gaoyang asked.
Su Yueya thought to herself that it wouldn't be a problem to let her older brother use it.
But it was this thought that made her realize why she didn't just tell her family the truth?
The space is outrageous, but my family can definitely trust it. Besides, there are so many amazing things in the space, so why can't my family enjoy it together?
