The moon is high in the sky.
When Yuan Yuan woke up, he was in excruciating pain in the back of his neck.
He rubbed the back of his neck and opened his eyes.
The candlelight was dim.
The room was quiet.
Yuan Yuan then remembered that he had been knocked unconscious earlier.
The person who hit him was someone he had saved.
"That bastard..."
Yuan Yuan forced himself to get up.
Upon looking, he realized that he was still lying on the cold ground.
In the candlelight, the boy lay limply on the edge of the soft couch.
His pale, youthful face was facing Yuan Yuan.
The bleeding from the wound on her face had stopped, and a strand of hair floated lightly against her brow bone and fell across her face.
At this moment, he opened his bright black eyes and weakly stared at Yuan Yuan: "You...you're awake?"
Yuan Yuan immediately glared at him.
The boy paused for a moment, then spoke in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry... I... didn't mean to knock you out..."
His lips were cracked and his throat was so hoarse that he could barely make a sound.
Yuan Yuan sat on the ground, his narrow eyes narrowed as he looked at the boy: "So, you intentionally knocked me unconscious?"
"I...I'm not..." A hint of panic appeared in the boy's eyes.
Yuan Yuan snorted coldly.
The boy coughed weakly twice and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Could you... could you... pour me a glass of water?"
Yuan Yuan laughed in anger: "You have the strength to knock me out, but not the strength to find water?"
The boy's lips moved, but no sound came out.
Seeing his sullen and silent demeanor, Yuan Yuan was furious.
He got up from the floor in anger, walked to the table, picked up the water bottle, and handed it directly to the boy: "Drink up!"
"Thank you..." The boy reached out with difficulty to take the water bottle.
This almost caused the whole pot of water to spill.
Fortunately, Yuan Yuan reacted quickly and grabbed the kettle in time: "Are you going to drink or not?"
"I..." The boy's lips moved, "My hand is broken."
Yuan Yuan wanted to curse.
He was so angry that he burst out laughing: "I'll ask you this: where on your body is it broken?"
The boy was silent for a moment, then replied, "Legs, ribs, hands..."
Moreover, he bled a lot.
His abdomen was also pierced by a sharp blade.
Inside the room, the two stared at each other for a moment before Yuan Yuan gave in first.
He found a water glass, poured a glass of warm water, and brought it to the boy's lips with obvious disgust: "Drink it!"
The boy smiled gratefully, raised his chin, brought the cup to his lips, and took a big gulp.
One cup wasn't enough, so Yuan Yuan poured him two more.
The boy drank three large glasses of water before he stopped.
His throat bobbed, and his voice wasn't so hoarse anymore: "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace..."
"Stop!" Yuan Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly and said lightly, "I saved you because I'm in a good mood tonight, it was just a casual thing to do, no need to be polite!"
"No!" the boy said solemnly, "If you don't save me, I will surely die tonight."
"You saved me, so I must repay you!"
repay?
Yuan Yuan put down the kettle and looked down at the young man on the soft couch: "Your clothes are all dirty, not a single one is in good condition."
"Someone like you, how can you possibly repay me?"
"I..." The boy hesitated for a moment, then looked up, his eyes dark and bright: "I can give you my life!"
life?
Yuan Yuan's eyes flickered.
This was the first time in his life that someone had told him he would give his life to him.
Looking into the boy's bright black eyes, Yuan Yuan smiled: "You said it yourself."
"Yes!" The boy nodded solemnly.
Yuan Yuan felt a little smug.
The Yuan family has a long history of producing many famous doctors.
His father was the head of the Imperial Medical Academy.
However, he did not learn the Yuan family's medical skills, simply because he did not like to memorize those complicated names and properties of medicines.
Today marks the first time he has saved someone.
Straightening his back, Yuan Yuan adopted the air of a young master from a prominent family and said to the boy, "If you don't want to get hurt any worse, then lie down properly!"
"good……"
The boy shifted his body with some effort, finding a slightly more comfortable position, and lay back down.
Yuan Yuan rolled up his sleeves, walked to the wooden tub, scooped out a basin of water, brought it to the soft couch, and said to the boy, "Take off your shirt."
"I..." The boy's face flushed slightly.
Seeing his behavior, Yuan Yuan raised his eyebrows and his expression turned cold: "So coy, are you perhaps a woman?"
The boy quickly replied, "No!" He stammered, "Just now... when you pulled my collar, were you... trying to clean my wound?"
Yuan Yuan glared at him: "Nonsense!"
The boy grew increasingly uneasy: "I...I'm sorry, it was just a reflex...I didn't mean to knock you out..."
Shut up!
Yuan Yuan flicked his wrist and stuffed a twisted handkerchief into the boy's mouth: "Bite down, don't let go!"
"Wait a minute!" the boy called out urgently.
"What's wrong with you now?" Yuan Yuan asked helplessly.
The boy looked up at him and said, "My name is Chi Ying."
Pool Reflection?
It sounds really good...
Yuan Yuan stuffed a handkerchief into the boy's mouth, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Who wants to know your name?"
Shut your mouth and clench your teeth!
After speaking, he acted extremely roughly, tearing off Chi Ying's outer robe, inner robe, and undergarment.
While pulling at the fabric, she said irritably, "Wearing so many clothes, you still got so many cuts! You're really useless!"
Chi Ying moved her lips, as if she wanted to explain.
Yuan Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Chi Ying immediately became docile.
Yuan Yuan picked up a warm, soaking wet cloth and pressed it against Chi Ying's abdomen, wiping him as he said with disdain, "It's always others who serve me..."
"You're incredibly lucky to have this young master save your life, serve you, and clean your wounds..."
He muttered to himself as he cleaned Chi Ying's wounds, then applied medicine and treated her broken ribs, leg, and arm...
After finishing, I was exhausted and covered in sweat.
He washed the medicine and blood off his hands, then turned to look at Chi Ying: "How are you feeling?"
Chi Ying spat out the handkerchief and said gratefully, "I feel much better, thank you."
"You look much better," Yuan Yuan said, stroking his smooth, handsome chin. After a moment's thought, he looked at the young man and said, "It's late tonight. Since you're much better, I won't brew you any more medicine."
Chi Ying nodded: "Okay."
"No!" Yuan Yuan frowned. "I'll pick out two herbs for you. Just chew them and swallow them."
What if I die in the middle of the night if I don't take my medicine?
"You're dead, and I still have to bury you. That's so hard work!"
Chi Ying paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay..."
Seeing that Chi Ying obeyed, Yuan Yuan smiled broadly, extremely excited: "You just wait!"
He happily picked out some medicine and handed it to Chi Ying: "Chew and swallow all of these medicines!"
"Take your medicine, I'm going to take a bath!"
“Okay…” Chi Ying nodded.
Yuan Yuan took his clothes and went behind the screen to bathe.
When he returned, the medicine beside the soft couch had indeed been chewed up by Chi Ying, leaving only some dregs...
Moreover, Chi Ying was probably too tired and had already fallen asleep.
Yuan Yuan was very sleepy, so he lay down on the soft bed, still dressed.
Until midnight...
A muffled groan, unusually loud.
