Chapter 40 Moderation

Gu Lingyu saw a master packing things in the courtyard after entering the village, and asked hurriedly:

"Master, is there a doctor in this village?"

The master was stunned for a moment. The man in front of him looked rich or noble, and he didn't look like someone who would appear in their village.

"Doctor? Yes, yes, yes." The master quickly put down the hoe in his hand.

"I'll take you there." The master wiped his hands and said enthusiastically.

When he got closer, he found that there was another person in the man's arms. The person was well protected and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Thank you." Gu Lingyu wiped the rain off his face.

"You're welcome, come on." The master happily took Gu Lingyu to the village, and finally came to a dilapidated house.

"This is the doctor's house. I'll go knock on the door for you." The old man said and stepped forward and called out.

"Doctor Chen! Doctor Chen!"

After a while, a young man with a fair face and elegant appearance opened the door.

Gu Lingyu looked at the doctor in front of him and didn't trust him because he was young. But there was no other doctor here, so he had to get off his horse.

"What's the matter?" Doctor Chen opened the door a little and looked at the unfamiliar Gu Lingyu with a vigilant face.

"Doctor, he has a fever, please take a look at him." Gu Lingyu came to Doctor Chen holding Xie Anci, looking anxious.

Doctor Chen opened the door and said, "Come in first."

Gu Lingyu carried Xie Anci to a clean room with beds in it. Gu Lingyu put Xie Anci on the bed.

The old man came in. It was not easy for a nobleman to come to their small village. He wanted to join in the fun.

But when the old man and Doctor Chen saw Xie Anci on the bed, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

They had never seen such a good-looking person.

Doctor Chen came back to his senses first and touched Xie Anci's forehead.

The master stared blankly at Xie Anci on the bed. Even though the man looked pale, he still looked handsome.

The man on the bed had a flushed face, his upturned eyes were tinged with beauty, his thin lips were slightly parted, his long and curly eyelashes were slightly trembling, and he looked a little more fragile.

The master dared to bet that this was the most beautiful person he had ever seen, even more beautiful than their village beauty back then.

"Master, can you get me a basin of cool water?" Doctor Chen's words brought the master back to his senses.

"Oh, okay, okay." The master hurried out to get some water.

Doctor Chen felt Xie Anci's pulse, and the look he gave Gu Lingyu was a little more intriguing.

"He's a little hurt. Young people should exercise moderation." Doctor Chen's words made Gu Lingyu confused.

"He's hurt? Where is he hurt?" Gu Lingyu looked at Xie Anci in confusion. He didn't notice anything.

"Hehe, aren't you asking even though you know the answer? It's behind, so I asked you to exercise moderation." Doctor Chen's face flushed. He had already said it so clearly. Was this person pretending not to understand or did he really not understand?

"Ah?" Gu Lingyu thought for a long time before he realized the deep meaning of Doctor Chen. His face turned blue and red.

He didn't, it wasn't him.

"Apply this ointment to him. I'll go make medicine for him." Doctor Chen took out a box of ointment from the medicine cabinet next to him and handed it to Gu Lingyu.

Gu Lingyu took it stiffly.

"There is hot water in the kitchen, you can get it for bathing. There is a separate room next to it, you can stay there." Doctor Chen saw that they were very rich and probably would not care about the cost of accommodation.

"Thank you." Gu Lingyu nodded, his face still hot.

Gu Lingyu carried Xie Anci to the next room, soaked a handkerchief in cold water and put it on his forehead, and then hurried to get hot water to wipe Xie Anci's body.

Looking at Xie Anci who was unconscious on the bed, Gu Lingyu sighed, "I really owe you."

Gu Lingyu complained and reached out to untie Xie Anci's belt.

Today, Xie Anci wore a water-blue brocade dress, with a few faint cloud patterns embroidered on the hem, looming, and a white belt tied around his waist, making him look thin and tall.

After the dress was undone, his fair skin was exposed to the air. Xie Anci whimpered and wanted to curl up because of the cold.

Gu Lingyu wiped Xie Anci with a towel dipped in hot water. Xie Anci had a thin layer of muscle on his body, and the lines were very beautiful.

His fingers wandered on the white jade-like body, and Gu Lingyu felt Xie Anci's tight skin with his other hand as if he was addicted.

"Hmm..." Xie Anci always wanted to shake off Gu Lingyu's touch, and subconsciously refused in his sleep.

Gu Lingyu came back to his senses, quickly wiped Xie Anci's body and covered him with a quilt.

What was he doing just now?

Xie Anci was already like this.

Gu Lingyu held the ointment in his hand, not knowing how to start.

"Xie Anci...Xie Anci?" Gu Lingyu patted Xie Anci's cheek and did not respond.

"If you don't wake up, I will apply medicine to you." Gu Lingyu's face flushed, and he felt a little angry.

He didn't know who did it, could it be Li Jinchen?

Gu Lingyu remembered that Li Jinchen had angrily dragged Xie Anci away the day before yesterday. Could it be that day?

Gu Lingyu was a little angry. He lifted the quilt and applied medicine to Xie Anci. He applied the medicine with more force, as if to vent his anger.

Xie Anci's brows were wrinkled in pain, but Gu Lingyu was afraid of waking him up, so he moved gently.

After applying the medicine, he patted Xie Anci's butt as if to punish him, "Bad guy..."

Gu Lingyu had just covered Xie Anci with the quilt when Doctor Chen came in with the medicine.

"Drink it while it's hot. You should feel much better after a good sleep." Doctor Chen handed the medicine to Gu Lingyu and left.

Gu Lingyu scooped some with a spoon and put it next to Xie Anci's mouth. The man's thin lips were tightly closed, and he couldn't drink it no matter what.

"You forced me to do this, I'm sorry." Gu Lingyu looked at Xie Anci's pink thin lips, and his eyes became darker.

He took a mouthful of medicine and kissed him, pinching Xie Anci's cheek with his right hand to pass the medicine into his mouth.

Xie You just found this scene and saw this scene. He was so angry that he wanted to pick up Gu Lingyu and beat him up.

But he didn't dare to show up, so he could only squat on the roof and secretly watch the scene.

His chest was heaving with anger, and he seemed unaware of the rain pouring on his body. Xie You clenched his fists to suppress his emotions.

After feeding the medicine, Gu Lingyu wiped Xie Anci's lips. The unfamiliar breath made him alert instantly.

"Who!?" Gu Lingyu shouted.

Xie You was startled, and quickly put the tiles on the roof in place and flew away to hide.

Gu Lingyu saw nothing after going out. Could it be a wild cat?

Gu Lingyu thought and went back to the room.

It was a busy day. Gu Lingyu quickly wiped his body with the remaining water from Xie Anci, asked Doctor Chen for a set of beds, and slept on the floor.

"I hope I'll feel better tomorrow." Gu Lingyu prayed while looking at Xie Anci's profile.

This place is not like the capital, where you can call on imperial physicians. It's good to have a doctor here.

Everything depends on Xie Anci's luck.

Gu Lingyu fell asleep with a feeling of self-blame and confusion.
