[The plague, known as "Floating White," will claim the lives of everyone in the Chen family.]
748 thought Fu Bai hadn't expected this, so he reminded Fu Bai in his mind.
Fu Bai replied, "I know."
Seeing Fu Bai's calm demeanor, 748 was utterly puzzled: [Fu Bai, aren't you worried at all?]
Fu Bai did not answer, but got up and went back to Li Jingxing's courtyard.
Li Jingxing was reading military strategy in his study when he heard the door open. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The princess has finally decided to come out. I thought you were going to be with those herbs."
The sour tone in his voice instantly filled the entire study.
Fu Bai smiled upon hearing this, and spontaneously walked over to Li Jingxing and sat on his lap.
Without saying a word, she put her arms around his neck and soothed Li Jingxing with kisses.
How could a kiss possibly satisfy Li Jingxing, who had been alone in his room for more than half a month? As they kissed, his hand slipped inside the pale white shirt.
However impatient he may be, his movements remain gentle.
Fu Bai did not refuse Li Jingxing.
The two of them entangled in the study for a long time in broad daylight.
First, they swiftly resolved their longing that had lasted for more than half a month, and then they slowly and leisurely spent an hour together.
The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, and the study returned to its tranquility.
Fu Bai lay nestled on Li Jingxing's chest, her fox-like eyes slightly upturned at the corners, tinged with a pale pink. Her amber pupils were filled with contentment, making Fu Bai appear both alluring and languid.
In Li Jingxing's words, Fu Bai just sat there doing nothing, but was trying to seduce him.
After resting for a while and confirming that Fu Bai's strength had recovered sufficiently, Li Jingxing's kiss landed on him again.
This time, Fu Bai reached out and pushed Li Jingxing's face away.
Li Jingxing took his hand and kissed his palm a few times.
While kissing, he looked at the floating white, asking questions with his eyes.
"Don't come anymore," Fu Bai's voice was hoarse, rustling, lazy, and very satisfied. "Let me rest for a bit. I still have things to do."
Li Jingxing: "What are you going to do?"
Fu Bai grabbed Li Jingxing's long, loose hair, played with it in his hand, yawned, and said, "Let me take the Gu worm out for you first."
"Okay." Li Jingxing wasn't surprised. He took the outer robe and draped it over Fu Bai's shoulders, then gently pulled him into his arms. "You should sleep for a while."
Fu Bai, sounding sleepy, mumbled through his nose, "Mmm."
Then she found a comfortable position in Li Jingxing's arms, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Before his consciousness sank into sleep, Fu Bai said to 748, "Wake me up in half an hour."
748 nodded, "Mmm."
Feeling the person in his arms breathe deeply and evenly, Li Jingxing lowered his head and kissed the top of the graying hair, his dark eyes deep and tender.
From the moment Fu Bai said he could help him remove the Gu worms, Li Jingxing never doubted his abilities.
He had also seen Fu Bai's hard work during this period.
Besides feeling sweetness, I felt more heartache for Fu Bai's tireless efforts in developing the potion.
Thinking of this, Li Jingxing tightened his grip on Fu Bai's hand.
His gaze was firm and resolute.
He will absolutely not let Fu Bai's efforts go to waste!
0-0
Half an hour later, 748 woke up Fu Bai on time.
Fu Bai opened his eyes and found himself still lying in Li Jingxing's arms, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.
The afterglow of the setting sun streamed through the window, bathing Li Jingxing in a soft golden light, making his handsome features even more striking in the glow.
As Fu Bai watched, he couldn't help but raise his head and kiss Li Jingxing on the chin.
A low chuckle escaped Li Jingxing's throat: "Awake?"
"Um."
After responding, Fu Bai jumped off Li Jingxing's lap and stretched.
"Go and prepare, I'll draw out the Gu worms from your body now."
Li Jingxing smiled and said, "Okay."
After letting Li Jingxing take a bath, Fu Bai returned to his study, retrieved the prepared medicine, and made some further preparations.
When he returned to his room, Li Jingxing had already finished showering and was sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed in a white undergarment.
Fu Bai carried the tray over and gestured for Li Jingxing to lie down on the bed.
Li Jingxing did as instructed.
Fu Bai: "I will first use golden needles to awaken the Gu worm in your brain, and then use medicine to draw it out. This process will be quite painful, so please bear with it."
Li Jingxing: "Okay."
Fu Bai put the tray aside, took out the gold needles from it, and began to sterilize them.
After making preparations, Fu Bai sat down on the edge of the bed, held a golden needle, and quickly and accurately inserted it into the acupoint on Li Jingxing's head, the needle tip emitting a buzzing sound.
After several needle pricks, Li Jingxing finally felt the stinging pain and his brows furrowed slightly.
Fu Bai saw it, leaned down and kissed his furrowed brow, gently comforting him, "Don't worry, I'm here."
"Um……"
Just as Li Jingxing was about to agree, the Gu worm in his head woke up and started causing chaos in his mind.
At that moment, Li Jingxing felt as if his head was about to explode, or as if someone was hitting his head repeatedly with a hammer.
When he was truly in pain, Li Jingxing didn't show it. Even though his head was throbbing so badly he wished he could cut it off, Li Jingxing remained calm on the surface.
If it weren't for the large beads of sweat on his forehead betraying his current state, anyone who saw Li Jingxing would think he was perfectly fine.
Fu Bai saw all of this and couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Jingxing. He took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Li Jingxing's face, frowning as he said, "If it hurts, just shout it out."
