Ye Mingshi: "The nerves in your leg have been soaked in the medicine, so you can't feel them now. Once you regain feeling, you'll naturally feel a tingling sensation. My needle is fine. What the hell are you thinking?"
The man felt relieved, closed his eyes, and lay there to recover.
...
After a long and complicated process, they finally returned to the hotel at almost four in the morning.
The man was carried back because the needles in his leg hadn't been removed yet.
Mu Jin brought the cat to her room and looked at her, saying, "Are you tired today? Take a nap. If you need anything, come find me tomorrow morning."
Cat did have something on her mind; she wanted to know who the person they had rescued was. However, she figured Ah Jin must be tired, so she nodded.
But then she blinked and asked, "Ah Jin, aren't you going to sleep with me?"
Mu Jin ruffled her hair. "You'll sleep by yourself tonight. I have things to do."
"oh."
...
The next day, when Maomao got up, it was already past eleven o'clock. She packed her things and then went to find Mu Jin.
Ye Mingshi, Tan Zheng, and Nan Jue were all in Mu Jin's room, as was the person who had been rescued yesterday.
The man had changed his clothes and was clean on his body and face. He was probably only twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He was leaning on the sofa, and he looked completely different from how he had looked yesterday when he was on the verge of death.
He was moving around slowly, and it seemed that even his leg was about 70-80% healed.
"Hey, this must be the superstar who's captivated the world and charmed countless young men, Jiu Maomao!" The man looked at Maomao with great interest. "Can I get a few autographs?"
The cat sat down on the table in front of him. "You already know me, so why don't you introduce yourself first?"
“This…” The man hesitated for a moment, then looked at Mu Jin, unsure whether he could speak.
Mu Jin spoke for him, "Xue Wen, from a special department."
The cat immediately exclaimed, "So you're from the special department!"
The man nodded. "It seems you two have a good relationship."
Cat: "What do you mean, 'good relationship'? Ah Jin is my boyfriend, we're really good friends!"
Xue Wen sat up in surprise, “Second Master has a girlfriend!”
Judging from his reaction, it was as if Mu Jin having a girlfriend was some earth-shattering, awe-inspiring event.
Cat looked at him unhappily, "What kind of reaction is that? Do you think I'm not good enough to be Ah Jin's girlfriend?"
Xue Wen quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, of course not... I just think you're amazing! How did you manage to win over Second Master?! We even made a bet that Second Master would stay single forever, that no mortal could possibly win over someone like him, but now..."
As he spoke, he gradually sensed that the atmosphere was off.
Ye Mingshi and Tan Zheng were both looking at him with schadenfreude, while Mu Jin's eyes were icy cold.
"A bet?" Mu Jin said calmly. "Who did you bet with? How much money did you bet?"
Xue Wen looked at Mu Jin, regretting it so much he wanted to slap himself. Why did he get so worked up? Why did he blurt this out?
But it was too late for him to play dumb now, so he could only say, "It was...it was with people from the special department...I didn't bet much, I only bet a hundred, but they bet more."
The cat patted his head, "You only bet a hundred! How can you be so stingy?"
Xue Wen was stunned for a moment after being slapped; he didn't think his head had ever been treated so cruelly before...
"Why did you hit me?" Xue Wen asked, stunned.
Ye Mingshi patted his head and said, "Do you even need to ask? Who told you to gamble with Jin Er? Remember this in the future, she's your second sister-in-law. If she's unhappy, she'll not only hit you on the head, she'll twist it off and use it as a ball."
Xue Wen glanced at Mu Jin, who didn't say a word, but it was all a tacit agreement!
He immediately dared not resist and swallowed his anger, comforting himself that he was now a patient and should not fight these villains like an egg against a rock.
"Um, can I have a sip of water?" Xue Wen asked. He had been asking for water since the helicopter ride and hadn't gotten any yet; he had almost drunk his own bathwater.
Ye Mingshi: "Oh dear, are you thirsty? I was wondering what I forgot last night. Oh, it's this. Wait here, I'll go get it for you right away."
Xue Wen looked at Ye Ming humbly, and once again told himself that when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. "Thank you."
Ye Mingshi quickly brought water and unscrewed the cap for him. "Drink up, drink up. There's more when you finish. Don't tell Wu Zhen later. I'm not mistreating you. I was just so busy treating your injuries that I forgot to give you water."
“…Okay.” Xue Wen finally took a sip.
Suddenly, the cat asked, "Xue Wen, can you spray water?"
"puff……"
Xue Wengang spat out the mouthful of water he had just drunk.
The cat was sitting on the table in front of him. Luckily, she dodged quickly and wasn't sprayed by the water.
Although Ye Mingshi hadn't drunk any water, she still choked on her own saliva, "Cough cough cough..."
Tan Zheng's pretty face contorted slightly. "Holy crap!"
Spraying water... What a raunchy and inappropriate phrase.
Seeing their increasingly strong reactions, Maomao looked at Mujin blankly.
Mu Jin patted her head, as if to encourage her.
Then, the cat looked at Xue Wen and asked, "Is that how you spray water? Anyone can do that."
Xue Wen's pale face, swollen from his injuries, was now completely red. "I..."
The cat looked at her suspiciously: "Can't you control the water? You control it like this? Are all the people in special departments like you?"
