Li Zongci's eyes were red-rimmed.
After a long silence, he whispered "okay".
He tucked the blanket around Fu Yu and instinctively wanted to kiss her forehead.
Just as his thin lips were about to touch her forehead, he quickly came to his senses, pulled away in time, clenched his fist, and instructed the doctor next to him to take care of Fu Yu.
The doctor blinked in disbelief.
This was the first time he had ever seen Li Zongci so obedient.
Fu Yu asked him to meet with the school board member, so he went.
Is this still the rebellious and unruly young master Li that he remembers?
The doctor pinched himself hard.
Is he dreaming?
Fu Yu rubbed her temples. Li Zongci's lonely, tall figure was reflected on the floor, like a homeless stray dog.
She looked fragile and helpless.
The system conjured a tissue and used its delicate fingers to wipe away non-existent tears.
"Alas, misfortune always finds its way to the weakest point and the most unfortunate people."
"Li Zongci lost his mother at a young age. Before the seven-day mourning period was over, his father brought his third son and illegitimate child into the house and usurped the place."
The system knelt down with a thud, covered its face with a tissue, and sobbed.
Having lacked love since childhood, he doesn't know how to love others. The deceit and treachery around him make it difficult for him to easily trust anyone. His world is lonely, desolate, and empty.
"At this point, he had finally found his lover, but..."
The system suddenly cried even louder; anyone who didn't know better would think it was wailing at a grave.
"But he can't kiss, hug... oh my god... God, why are you so cruel, why are you targeting me like this..."
Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning struck the system.
The system instantly turned completely black, and then, stunned, spat out mouthfuls of white foam.
"Li Zongci drowned his illegitimate son when he was five years old. That person is still in the intensive care unit. His stepmother has been driven insane by torture and is unable to take care of herself. His biological father, under his guidance, has become a scoundrel and was sent to the enemy camp to be turned into a human pig."
All family members who disobeyed Li Zongci would soon be beheaded and buried in this manor.
At Ates Academy, and throughout the entire empire, Li Zongci is the law, and that's not just a figure of speech.
"Li Zongci is not a man who needs pity."
Only the weak need to be pitied.
The strong need an even stronger one to tame them.
The system quickly wiped its face clean with a tissue and said with a grin, "Our illustrious, powerful, and subtly charming host understands the male lead best!"
Fu Yu gave a forced, insincere snort.
"Don't give me that crap. When will my body recover?"
"Host, your character in this world is a sickly, weak, and scheming woman who has been frail and sickly since childhood, and later suffered a major car accident, spending several years in the ICU..."
"Get straight to the conclusion."
The system shakily lifted a sign that read 10.
"It will take at least 10 months for the host to recover to its previous level of health."
Fu Yu closed her eyes, intending to faint, and found herself transported 10 months into the future, a time when she could dominate the world.
With eyes closed and open.
A day has passed.
She was still a sickly woman who couldn't lift a finger.
The maid came to help her wash up and change clothes.
Where is Li Zongci?
In the manor, no, in the entire empire, no one dared to call Li Zongci by his full name. They usually addressed him as the head of the Li family or Young Master Li.
The maid nervously gripped the towel.
“Young Master Li, the young master said he will come to see you again when you no longer dislike him.”
At this point, they actually listened.
"Call him over."
Fu Yu only managed to say a few words before she became breathless.
Seeing her like this, Li Zongci dared not approach her, suppressing his desire with all his might, fearing that she would faint again because of him.
“Li Zongci, if we were together, you might have to put up with my bad temper, my frail body, my inability to kneel and fawn over you, and so on…”
Li Zongci's mind went blank.
Is the baby negotiating with him?
After thinking about it all night, she finally realized that staying by his side was the best solution.
As if he had been slapped hard and then stuffed with an incredibly sweet red date, Li Zongci completely ignored what Fu Yu was saying, grabbed her, and kissed her earlobe tenderly.
As long as Fu Yu doesn't want to leave him, loves him, and is willing to stay by his side.
He'll do anything you ask.
"come over."
Fu Yuchao beckoned to Emperor Lizong.
Li Zongci's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he stared at Fu Yu's slightly curled fingertips.
He wanted to kiss, bite, and nibble.
As I leaned closer, a soft, wet touch unexpectedly pressed against my slightly dry lips.
It's Fu Yu's lips!
Li Zongci's pupils contracted sharply, and his lips, which were being kissed, trembled slightly.
"You'll feel uncomfortable."
"I know my body best."
"I'm worried..."
"Don't make a sound."
Fu Yu was breathing heavily. She grabbed Li Zongci by the collar and pulled him close.
He kissed Li Zongci's lips once again.
At the same time, her slender fingertips parted Li Zongci's nightgown.
Outline the shape of the abdominal muscles with your fingertips.
She chewed a whole ginseng root this morning in preparation for that kiss.
She can't stand not eating meat for 10 months. Even if she faints today, she has to drink some meat broth.
Fortunately, she did not faint.
But even as they got into the car to go to the academy, Li Zongci would kiss her lips from time to time.
While saying they couldn't do that, their kisses became increasingly passionate.
