10 Chapter 10 Leave Me Behind
"What does it mean?"
After Yunhe finished speaking, he was stunned.
Although these words were indeed what he thought in his heart, after he actually said them out loud, he found that they sounded a little obscure.
Fortunately, Yuliu was thinking about what happened last night and didn't think about anything else at all.
So the two people, each with their own thoughts, looked at each other at the same time, and then "tacitly" looked away from each other with different thoughts in their minds.
Their sights met and then separated.
The room was silent, but the birds outside the window were chirping as briskly as they had been yesterday.
As Yuliu listened, she suddenly felt as if her fingertips were also pecked. The fingertips hidden under her sleeves curled up and covered her five fingers. Her mind was full of thoughts, and she drifted back to last night.
Yunhe seems to be an extremely special existence in the system.
The system is loyal to the rules. It may hide something from the host, but it will not deceive.
The system clearly stated that its authority in this world was the greatest compared to before, but it was unable to explain Yun He's motives for his actions, and could only hastily summarize it with an indescribable sentence.
For a 50% attack level, the system explains that everything is possible, meaning it is a semi-chaotic state:
Yunhe may have awakened his own character consciousness, but he may still be bound by the plot and may do some things that cross the line under the intervention of the system.
"Are you sure..." Yuliu frowned, "Is this really what you want in your heart?" And not influenced by something else?
"Of course, a doctor has a kind heart." Yunhe answered without hesitation.
But Yuliu was obviously very skeptical about Yunhe's benevolent heart as a doctor. After all, in her eyes, the desire that Yunhe showed from beginning to end seemed to be nothing more than a minor chronic poison that the doctor in the mansion had left to treat her, which was neither painful nor serious.
Yun He knew from a glance at Yu Liu's expression that she still didn't believe him, but the words had already been spoken, and since they weren't wrong, there was no reason to take them back. After thinking for a moment, he gave another example:
"As a doctor, when you see a poison, you want to cure it; when you see an illness, you want to heal it. It's like a great scholar who stumbles upon a long-desired rare book, only to discover it's incomplete. You'll want to do your best to complete and restore it."
Yuliu smiled politely.
Ha ha.
I don’t understand.
It is said to be a fragment, so why not just enshrine it as a spiritual sustenance?
Otherwise, if the repairs are only followed by a poor finish, wouldn't that be more counterproductive?
Seeing Yuliu smiling but not answering, Yunhe knew he was talking to a deaf ear, so he offered another example: "Let's say a collector accidentally comes across a beautiful piece of jade, but upon closer inspection, discovers a slight flaw. Miss Yu, how do you think he would handle it?"
A beautiful jade is hard to come by, and even if it has a flaw, it is only a tiny one.
In this case, it is natural to want to repair it to perfection.
This incident made Yuliu quite touched.
"I understand." Yu Liu nodded, but didn't intend to answer. She just suddenly asked, "So, you suddenly took my pulse just now. Are you trying to cure the toxin in my body as soon as possible?"
Yunhe met "Zi Qi" as he wished, but he was silent for a rare moment.
The tea that had been kept hot on the small stove began to boil. Yunhe took the purple clay teapot off the stove and placed it on the tea tray to let it sit. The steaming tea and mist spread over the small table.
"That's exactly what I thought at first. Since it's a poison, no matter how deep it is, it's best to neutralize it as soon as possible." Yun He's tone was rarely filled with accusation. "Although the poison you've been infected with is indeed chronic, and the toxin is still shallow and can't do anything to you, how do you know that other drugs won't amplify the toxin in the future?"
Yuliu had a polite smile on her face and seemed to be listening attentively, but in fact she was listening in one ear and out the other.
Of course there is no such poison.
If the system allows someone to poison Yuliu to death, and only the brainless male protagonist and the mouthless female protagonist are left to carry out the plot on their own, your world, including the system, will be doomed along with Yuliu!
However, Yuliu only thought about this in her heart, and still had a well-behaved and pleasing smile on her face: "So what happened next? What did you think?"
"Later, I discovered that the biggest problem with your body really isn't the poison." Yun He stared at Yu Liu, initially a little angry, but seeing her smiling face, the words of reprimand on the tip of his tongue circled around before he inexplicably swallowed them back. "Your pulse is thin, tight, and weak. Do you know what that means?"
"What does it mean?" Yuliu asked humbly.
Yun He's tone became unusually serious, and he concentrated, "It means that you've been dieting and eating less, and you've been experiencing occasional abdominal pain, chest tightness, and fatigue. You've also been overthinking, and I'm afraid you've been having trouble sleeping at night."
As Yunhe spoke, he wanted to point out the narrow attention span, confused consciousness, and dangerous behavior of Yuliu when she was touched by fire yesterday, as well as the avoidance, pessimism, and repeated entanglement of insecurity that Yuliu displayed in daily communication.
However, he saw that Yuliu had already lowered her head in shame after hearing his words, twisting her white handkerchief nervously as if in frustration. The words on the tip of her tongue turned into a soft question: "Do you have nightmares at night?"
"No." Yuliu lowered her head slightly and shook her head slowly.
"Then I'm a little curious. You're the younger sister of the Fourth Prince's wife and the mistress of this mansion. You don't have to worry about taking care of your parents, and you don't have to worry about getting married. Compared to girls from ordinary families, you should be free and unrestrained."
Yun He thought about the pulse and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "I wonder if there's anything bothering you lately? If you don't mind, could you tell me about it? If you trust me, I'd be happy to share some of your worries."
Yuliu lowered her head and wrung her handkerchief.
How should I tell him?
——If the system hadn't been able to see through your evil thoughts, I would have been in a state of panic last night!
Yuliu suddenly wanted to pierce this villain, the system, into pieces with her heart.
Since there is no way to express the pain, Elm and Willow simply keep silent.
She raised her head again, smiled, and said, "Ah... Actually, it's not that serious. It's just that the food at the mansion isn't to my liking, so I didn't eat much. As for last night, I did go to bed a little late, but that's because I went to Yingchun recently and bought a lot of beautiful clothes and red hairpins and jade rings. I was so happy that I was a little excited and couldn't fall asleep."
Yuliu said this with a smile, but a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.
What bad luck!
The system proved that she had just stayed up all night that one time, and she hadn't even noticed Fang Yue, who served her personally, but this Pulse No. 1, nothing could escape Yun He's sharp eyes!
But in Yunhe's eyes, this subtle expression seemed like Yuliu was forcing a smile.
Yun He thought that she was still unwilling to open her heart to him, but this was a taboo when it came to curing a heart disease.
Yun He picked up Yu Liu's topic and asked carefully and patiently, "So, you're feeling sad because of your poor diet?"
Yuliu had never been sad about the food problem, so when she was asked suddenly, she didn't realize what Yunhe meant for a long time. After a while, she suddenly said, "Oh... a little bit."
"You have such a big house, why is the kitchen so careless?" Yun He frowned when he heard this.
"Master Yun, have you forgotten that this mansion of mine is new? I only have two personal maids by my side. Apart from them, you are the only one in this courtyard." Yuliu couldn't help but laugh as she spoke. "Where is the kitchen? My maid Yumei takes care of all the daily meals."
Hearing this, Yunhe raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Yuliu meaningfully.
As soon as Yuliu received Yunhe's gaze, he immediately realized that he knew who had poisoned him.
Although this was not Yuliu's original intention, it would not hurt to tell Yunhe about it. After all, Yunhe is treating her now. If anyone poisons her, wouldn't that be causing trouble for Yunhe?
"Oh no." Yuliu feigned surprise, picking up her embroidered handkerchief and half covering her mouth, revealing a pair of large, watery eyes. She stared at Yunhe aggrievedly and said, "I let it slip. Master Yun...just pretend I never said that. I'll take care of this matter myself."
Since she dared to poison her, Yuliu would naturally make her suffer the consequences.
Yun He hesitated: "Really."
"Seriously." Yuliu nodded, putting on her signature smile. "It's just a cook. I'll just go hire one tomorrow. But... compared to this, I might be more worried about something else."
"What's the matter?" Yunhe handed the warm tea to Yuliu, looking as if he was listening attentively.
"I thought we had agreed that after you recovered from your injury, you would stay in my house and become a doctor." Yu Liu smiled slightly, repeating Yun He's words from yesterday. "But, Master Yun, your injury is clearly not fully healed. Why are you so anxious to start taking my pulse today?"
"Is that what you're talking about?"
A trace of disappointment flashed across Yun He's eyes. He thought to himself that one shouldn't be too hasty in letting down one's guard. He sighed softly and explained, "Actually, my injury benefited from timely treatment. Plus, I've been taking medicinal baths in the Poison Doctor Valley year-round, so my physique is exceptional. I'll be fine after two days of recuperation. But the young lady's body can't wait. It would be better for me to understand her condition sooner so I can prescribe the right remedy and demonstrate my usefulness..."
"...so that you will be willing to keep me here?"
