Chapter 29 Was the wrong medicine given? No, it was a perfect assist!
Yun Zhan dragged and pulled with all his might, finally managing to get the unconscious Yan Linye back to the villa. He dared not make a sound, but quietly sought out the old doctor whom Yan Linye trusted.
When the old doctor saw Yan Linye covered in blood and with gruesome wounds, he was so frightened that his beard stood on end. He rushed forward to examine him. But after a thorough examination, the fear on his face turned into disbelief and astonishment.
"How strange!" The old doctor stroked his beard, his brows furrowed. "The prince's injuries are so severe, logically speaking... Alas, although his pulse is weak, there is no sign of decline, and although the wound is deep, it already shows signs of healing and closing? This... this is not in accordance with medical principles!"
Yun Zhan's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that the wound medicine produced by the system was too overpowered! He quickly tried to evade the question: "Um... I just picked some herbs from the mountains and applied them to him, maybe... maybe it will help a little?"
The old doctor's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What kind of herb is it? What does it look like? What is its color? Could you please describe it in detail, young master? This is a life-saving medicine!"
Yun Zhan couldn't possibly say that he didn't even recognize all the common herbs in this world! He could only stammer, his eyes darting around: "It's...it's the kind you see by the roadside, all green and a bit serrated...I can't remember exactly, I was too panicked at the time..."
Seeing his appearance, the old doctor was full of doubts but didn't press him further, assuming that Yun Zhan had just gotten lucky and accidentally used some miraculous medicine. He cleaned Yan Linye's wound again but found that it didn't need much treatment. After bandaging it, he prescribed some formulas to regulate his qi and blood.
Before leaving, the old doctor instructed Yun Zhan: "Although the prince's injuries are stable, he has lost too much blood and may develop a fever tonight. Young master, you must take good care of him. If there are any abnormalities, call me immediately."
After seeing the doctor off, Yun Zhan slumped down beside Yan Linye's bed, looking at the pale yet still handsome face of the man on the bed, his feelings as complicated as a ball of yarn that had been played with by a cat.
He lured Yan Linye into the trap.
He was the one who caused him to be seriously injured.
But in the end... it was he who saved him.
"System, does this count as me having the upper hand?" Yun Zhan asked weakly.
[The behavior is logically inconsistent, with a significant discrepancy between motivation and outcome. This system cannot understand the underlying logic behind the host's contradictory behavior. Recommendation: Format the emotion module and focus on the task.]
"Formatting my foot!" Yun Zhan retorted. "All I want right now is for him to get better quickly..."
In the still of the night, the candlelight flickered. Just as the doctor had predicted, Yan Linye developed a high fever, his forehead was burning hot, his lips were cracked, and he began to babble incoherently.
“Yun…Yun Zhan…”
"Quick...run...danger..."
"Don't worry about me... let's go..."
Even while he was unconscious, his subconscious thought was still to get Yun Zhan out of danger.
Listening to his intermittent babbling and seeing his brows furrowed in pain from the high fever, Yun Zhan felt an overwhelming surge of guilt and heartache. Her nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"System! Exchange for fever reducers! Quickly!" He was heartbroken and wished he could take Yan Linye's pain away.
[According to the test, the 'potent wound medicine' in the target's body is still taking effect. The fever is a normal stress response and will subside on its own tomorrow without the need for additional medication.] The system calmly analyzed.
"I don't care! I can't bear to see him in so much pain! He has to take medicine!" Yun Zhan insisted. "The cheapest fever reducer will do! Hurry up!"
[Searching... 'Basic Physical Cooling Patch (Cooling Type)', Required Points: 10. 'Primary Oral Fever Reducer (Fruit Flavor)', Required Points: 50. Host's Current Points: 250.]
"It has to be taken orally! It works faster!" Yun Zhan looked at Yan Linye's chapped lips and thought it would be better to give him some liquid medicine.
[Redeem successful. 50 points consumed. Remaining points: 200. Items have been issued.]
A faint light flashed, and a small porcelain bottle appeared in Yun Zhan's hand, containing a pink liquid that also emitted a faint strawberry scent (?).
Yun Zhan didn't even have time to complain about the bizarre scene. He quickly helped Yan Linye up and carefully fed him the medicine. Yan Linye seemed to be thirsty due to the fever and swallowed instinctively.
After giving him the medicine, Yun Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to wipe his sweat when he heard the system issue a series of urgent alarms:
[Warning! Warning! Host error! Detected feeding of 'Basic Aphrodisiac Liquid (Strawberry Flavor)'! Similar to the target drug name; the host did not carefully verify!]
[The medication has taken effect! It is expected to reach its peak effect within ten minutes!]
Yun Zhan: "!!!"
His hand trembled, and he almost dropped the empty porcelain bottle!
Aphrodisiac...?! Strawberry flavor?! What the hell did he...he fed Yan Linye?!
"System, you tricked me! This name sounds so similar?!" Yun Zhan was on the verge of tears, and lunged forward to try and shove Yan Linye's throat. "Spit it out! Spit it out now!"
But it was too late. The medicine melted in her mouth and had already been swallowed.
Just then, Yan Linye on the bed let out a painful groan, his body beginning to writhe restlessly. His cheeks, already flushed from the fever, were now tinged with an even deeper, unnatural red. His tightly closed eyelashes trembled violently, and increasingly incoherent murmurs began to escape his lips:
"Yun Zhan...it's hot..."
"Don't go...stay...by my side..."
"I love...you..."
"It has always been..."
His voice was low and hoarse, burning with the heat of the fever and the arousal induced by the drug. Every word was like a hook, scratching hard at Yun Zhan's heart.
Yun Zhan froze, his face flushed crimson! What...what had he heard? Yan Linye said he...loved him? Always had?
Seeing Yan Linye's pained yet yearning expression due to the effects of the medicine, and listening to his unconsciously revealed true feelings, Yun Zhan's heart was pounding as if it were about to explode, and his mind went completely blank.
"System! Antidote! Give me the antidote now!" Yun Zhan shouted in a panic.
[This drug is for pleasure purposes, non-toxic, requires no antidote, and will dissipate after metabolism. Estimated duration: four to six hours.] The system calmly responded.
Four to six hours! Seeing Yan Linye getting more and more uncomfortable, Yun Zhan was anxiously pacing around.
Yan Linye seemed to have lost some of his rationality due to the heat in his body. He unconsciously reached out and accurately grabbed Yun Zhan's wrist with astonishing force.
"Yun Zhan..." He opened his eyes, his gaze hazy and shimmering with tears, yet burning with a scorching heat as he locked his eyes tightly around Yun Zhan. "It's you... Don't go..."
He pulled hard, and Yun Zhan, caught off guard, fell into his burning arms.
"Yan... Yan Linye! Wake up!" Yun Zhan struggled to push him away, but his strength was no match for Yan Linye at this moment.
Yan Linye's aura completely enveloped him, a scent that mingled with the smells of medicine, blood, and a unique masculine aroma, domineeringly assaulting all his senses. Burning kisses rained down like raindrops, possessing an undeniable force, yet transforming into a heart-stirring, tender caress the moment they touched.
"System! Help!" Yun Zhan cried out in his mind as a last desperate plea for help.
[...This system has activated its minor protection mode (although the host's mental age is questionable), automatically blocking subsequent inappropriate information. Best of luck to the host...]
The system... has gone offline!
Yun Zhan: "..." I bought a watch last year!
Her last shred of reason crumbled completely under Yan Linye's almost pleading, tearful "Don't leave me" and his irresistible tenderness.
The candlelight went out sometime during the night, and the moonlight quietly seeped into the room, outlining the intertwined figures on the bed.
Her clothes were disheveled, and the quilt was torn and red.
Soft moans and shallow breaths, a surge of passion welling up beneath the surface.
This night, fueled by misunderstandings, guilt, the effects of the drug, and deeply ingrained feelings, became long and enchanting, chaotic yet... destined.
