Chapter 152 Why Not Get Married
"Huh? I'm serious, if you don't believe me I'll stew it for you to try..."
"Cough cough cough..." Xu Rui coughed.
"What's wrong, Brother Xu? Are you feeling hot and bothered by the heat? Here's some tea, have some!"
Xu Rui drank the tea in the bowl in one gulp.
Then he asked, "Brother Zhang, what brings you here?"
"Oh, this isn't being a pig... hehe, I'm also a bit feverish, so I've come to see Doctor Qingqing for acupuncture."
Xiao Zhang's gaze drifted towards the bottom of the shed.
Li Meng was working with her head down, wearing a light green dress, her hair wrapped in a floral headscarf, and a pair of embroidered shoes with magpie perched on branches. She looked really pretty.
He bought it!
From head to toe!
Huh? Your wrist is bare. Why aren't you wearing the big silver bracelet he bought you?
"Stop looking at it. I think you're really suffering from internal heat. Let's go get some acupuncture!"
Lu Qingqing called him into the house.
Xu Rui followed him inside.
After the person went inside, Li Meng raised her head and glanced at them quickly.
In just a short while, I felt a layer of hot sweat on my neck.
"It looks like Xiao Zhang's big toe is sticking out of his shoes," Sister Linghua said with a grin.
Tian Qiao'er's attention was elsewhere: "Hey, don't you think the magistrate's son's eyes are always on Qingqing?"
"You saw his eyes?"
"That's how it feels!"
"Nonsense, when someone talks to Qingqing, of course they have to look at her. Do you expect them to shake their heads or sway their heads?"
"But this magistrate's son walks so gracefully, just like us country bumpkins, huh?"
Inside the house.
Xiao Zhang took off his shirt, lay down on the wooden bed, and stuck his ears out again.
Unfortunately, I didn't hear what they were talking about this time.
Lu Qingqing tapped his chest with her index finger, tapping and tapping...
Sisi explained: "Lung excess syndrome: hot cough, flushed face, dry skin, thirst, acupuncture points: Tanzhong, Jinmen..."
Um?
Lu Qingqing suddenly pointed to a spot and pressed down.
Xiao Zhang couldn't help but snort.
Lu Qingqing leaned down and put her ear to listen.
"You were injured here?"
Xiao Zhang exclaimed in surprise, "You can tell from that? It's been almost a year! He was hit by a wild boar."
"You must have been seriously injured. You're still not fully recovered. I'll prescribe some medicine for you."
"No wonder I sometimes feel tightness in my chest. Qingqing, you're really something. How much money do you need?"
"No money is needed; consider this payment for making the specimen."
What book?
I didn't hear you clearly.
But it's free, I understand.
"Qingqing, you are such a kind person."
"Brother Xu, you're also feeling hot and bothered, why don't you get some acupuncture?" Xiao Zhang warmly invited.
Xu Rui: "...No need, how much longer? I'm a little tired, I want to rest at your new house for a while."
After he said that, Lu Qingqing felt it was inappropriate to continue telling Sixi anything more.
"Then you can go first, we'll talk another day."
"Hey, no problem, here's the key, you can go back now."
Xiao Zhang took a black key from his waistband and handed it to Xu Rui.
Xu Rui was truly stunned.
He never expected that Xiao Zhang would trust him so much and be so unguarded.
They even saved a room for him.
She truly considers him family.
"I'll wait for you."
Are two grown men holding hands and walking together here?
Lu Qingqing looked at Xu Rui and suddenly asked, "Young Master Xu, how old are you this year?"
"...twenty-one."
"Then why aren't you married yet?"
“I…I…have never met someone I truly love before.”
Why be so nervous?
Lu Qingqing twitched her fingers, as if she wanted to lift her hat again.
She said to Xiao Zhang and Sixi, "We're not learning today. You two go out first. I have something to say to Young Master Xu alone."
Xiao Zhang glanced at Xu Rui with concern.
What I fear most is the doctor keeping me behind for a private talk.
Could it be that Brother Xu has some hidden illness?
Once the two were outside, Lu Qingqing stopped hiding anything and said directly, "We're all allies now, so don't be angry if I ask you some questions."
Moreover, I'm a very open-minded person; as long as it's genuine, I can accept things across species.
What?
What are you saying?
"I'm not angry, go ahead and ask."
Do you prefer men or women?
"..."
"Why aren't you saying anything? There's nothing shameful about it. Love knows no gender, and I understand and respect that, but it can't be promiscuous."
Zhang is a simple-minded guy, and a total straight man.
We can't let it go astray.
Lu Qingqing nodded to him in a friendly manner: "Fu Leng and Mo Lang are both very loyal to you, you two..."
I like women!
"like……"
Xu Rui's chest heaved violently, and his voice, unlike any other, was tinged with anger.
It was like a pool of lukewarm water suddenly boiling, bubbling and steaming.
"You're like that!"
He was even gritting his teeth, unable to utter a single sentence.
It looks like it's chewing something up.
Even a clay figure has some spirit; this really pissed people off.
"Ahem, we agreed not to get angry." Lu Qingqing grinned awkwardly.
Then he added, "It's really not a big deal. If someone asks me if I like women, I won't get angry."
True love is priceless!
So, you're really not gay?
Lu Qingqing heard a "crack" sound coming from the joints.
Then she saw Xu Rui step forward and approach her.
Hey, you said you wouldn't get angry, are you going to hit her or something?
Lu Qingqing held a long needle in her hand.
Would he dare to lay a hand on him?
"Lu Qingqing".
The man lowered his head, and through the white curtain, he could vaguely see a pair of narrow, bright eyes.
Perfect facial contours.
Lu Qingqing tried hard to see clearly and reached out to grab the white curtain.
Xu Rui seemed oblivious.
He spoke slowly and deliberately, one sentence at a time:
"I am an upright man."
"I like women."
"I like women."
"I like women."
...
"I like……"
"Stop, stop, stop! I know, I know, I really know!" Lu Qingqing whispered.
She loosened the curtain and pushed him away.
If she doesn't stop him, he'll have to keep talking!
And he kept getting closer and closer, practically shoving his words in her face, forcing her to retreat to the table.
Does he think he's some kind of domineering CEO?
I must say, he had quite a commanding presence, which made her nervous.
"You can't blame me for misinterpreting things. Fu Leng and Mo Lang treat you like the apple of their eye. They even sleep in the same room, compete for your attention, and even take your pants off..."
"...I couldn't move before, but I won't be anymore."
"no……"
That's not what Lu Qingqing meant. She doesn't interfere in how the master and servant get along!
She was just making excuses for herself.
"Lu Qingqing, why don't you want to get married?" Xu Rui asked in return.
Lu Qingqing pouted: "There's no benefit to getting married."
What kind of benefits would make you want to get married?
"Handsome and good-looking, orphaned, doting and obedient to his wife, loyal and devoted, able to earn money to support the family, physically excellent and with great function, but born without sperm, don't make me suffer the pain of pregnancy!"
