"You?" Uncle Wu looked up and realized that the person he had been talking to for so long was actually wearing a mask.
Uncle Wu immediately became suspicious and cautiously asked, "Who are you?"
Su Chen calmly placed her hands behind her back and said, "Of course, I am the one who can save your young master."
Uncle Wu narrowed his eyes. "How can I believe you?"
"If you don't believe me, then you want to send your young master to the underworld." With that, Su Chen turned to leave.
Uncle Wu didn't care about anything else. The young master had already fallen to such a state. If the person who came wanted to return the young master, there was no need to do this. Now he could only trust her.
He turned to the side and opened the door for Su Chen, gesturing with his left hand, "Please come with me."
Su Chen readily agreed and followed him into the Lu residence.
Everything in the mansion was exactly as it had been yesterday, except that there seemed to be many more servants than before. It seemed the protagonist's family didn't want him to die like this, but why were no relatives visiting?
How strange!
Uncle Wu led her into the inner room.
Lu Jian was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, looking exactly like he was dead. If she hadn't noticed that Lu Jian's chest was still rising and falling, she would have thought she was too late.
"This is a secret recipe, and it's not convenient to show it to others. You see..." Su Chen's tone was full of reluctance.
Uncle Wu understood and quickly told everyone to leave, making sure to close the door carefully before he went out.
The figure was still cast on the door screen, and Su Chen saw it but did not refuse.
If Uncle Wu really walked away and wasn't watching over the door, she would suspect that he had ulterior motives.
[Hurry up, host! If you don't give him his medicine soon, even a celestial being might not be able to save him.] The system was very anxious seeing Su Chen not moving for a long time. At this moment, it wished it could feed the medicine to the male lead for her.
"Okay, I'll feed him now." Su Chen put aside her thoughts, hurriedly took out the porcelain bottle given to her by the system from her bosom, carefully poured out a pill from the bottle, pried open the male lead's mouth, and threw the pill into his throat.
In order to prevent him from choking before the medicine took effect, Su Chen kindly helped him up and poured half a teapot of water into his mouth.
Swallowing is very difficult for a person in a semi-conscious state, and several times she almost vomited up the pills along with the water, which made Su Chen very worried.
The system, standing nearby, offered a terrible suggestion: "[Host, I've seen many novels where the female lead, when faced with this situation, simply feeds the male lead the medicine orally. Why don't you...]"
Su Chen quickly interrupted her terrifying thoughts, "According to you, this is usually done by the female lead. I'm not even a second female lead, so I shouldn't get involved. If anyone finds out later, I'll be in big trouble. It's better for us to be honest."
As she spoke, Su Chen pinched the male protagonist's lips and squeezed his face, forcibly pushing the pills and water down his throat. She then helped him swallow the medicine.
Before long, the male protagonist woke up.
"You're awake?"
The male protagonist did not answer, but vomited directly on the ground, making Su Chen feel acid reflux and unable to stop herself from covering her mouth and nose.
After finally finishing vomiting, he seemed to collapse backward as if all his strength had been drained.
Su Chen realized something was wrong and quickly tried to inhale, only to find that the breath was only going in and not coming out, which was very strange.
Su Chen hurriedly asked the system, "Did the male lead always breathe like this before?"
The system shook its head: "No, that's not it."
Su Chen asked again, "So, is this a sign of death?"
No, not exactly.
"What happened?"
Don't worry about the side effects of this medication.
Su Chen: ...As expected, the type of system determines the type of medicine.
