Afraid of upsetting herself, Shang Xiye simply didn't follow them this time.
Ji Fengyao first placed the bowl of medicine in front of Hei Xiao, and before handing it over, she gently reminded him: "After drinking this medicine, you will experience great pain when you take a medicinal bath later, especially in your damaged dantian, which will cause you unbearable pain. I can only use acupuncture to clear your meridians, not to relieve your pain, as that would affect the repair of your dantian. You have to endure it."
Xique and Bailu stood guard at the door, while only Linshuang and Ji Fengyao entered Heixiao's room.
"You...you're going to watch me take a medicinal bath!" Black Owl exclaimed in shock.
Shang Xiye must be crazy! The woman he likes wants to see another man taking a medicinal bath, and he actually agrees!
In the end, I felt a warmth in my heart.
In this world, the only person who could make that guy give in like this is probably myself.
Can……
Black Owl was filled with mixed emotions. He tilted his head back and drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp. The familiar taste of the medicine made him instinctively nauseous. For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to that dark and terrifying dungeon, and heard the shrill screams and helpless cries in his ears, which made him shudder.
Ji Fengyao noticed his subtle change, and her heart tightened involuntarily, but she smiled nonchalantly and teased him as usual, "I didn't realize, Brother Hei, that you're also afraid of bitter medicine."
"It's all because you doctors are unscrupulous. You don't even know to prescribe something sweeter, like adding some honey or something, so that patients can eat it more easily." Hei Xiao handed the medicine bowl back to Lin Shuang, casually stroking his handsome beard.
"You need to tie your hair up, or it will get mushy in the medicine soup," Ji Fengyao said, gesturing for Lin Shuang to comb it for him.
Black Owl instinctively wanted to ask Ji Fengyao to comb his hair, but then he thought of Shang Xiye and decided against it.
Xiao Jiu treated him so sincerely, he couldn't possibly be a heartless person.
Although Lin Shuang was calm and sensible, this was the first time she had ever combed a man's hair, especially a handsome man with a beautiful face and extremely high martial arts skills. She was so nervous that her hands were trembling as she held the comb.
"Little beauty, why are you trembling? I don't eat people." Hei Xiaoqiang shifted his gaze from Ji Fengyao back to Lin Shuang behind him, whose face was already flushed.
When Lin Shuang was swept over by his bright, shimmering eyes, her heart pounded wildly. Her hand trembled again, and she grabbed Hei Xiao's head, causing him to turn to the side and let out a painful hiss.
"Ah, Xiao Yao'er, you'd better do something about this, your girl is about to kill someone!" Hei Xiao said with a sly grin, his eyes half-closed.
"Lin Shuang, if he keeps talking nonsense, pluck all the hair off his head and make him a monk." Ji Fengyao took her needle case and went to the bathtub separated by the screen to check the water temperature herself.
A short while later, Black Owl arrived, having recombed his hair.
Lin Shuang, Bai Lu, and Xi Que, the three maids, all automatically and consciously retreated outside the room.
"Oh dear, Xiao Yao'er, are you trying to boil me alive?" Hei Xiao dipped his hand into the scalding water and teased Ji Fengyao, who was bending over to organize her needle case.
"Scalding the water will be better for you," Ji Fengyao straightened up and, seeing that he was still fully dressed, asked, "Why aren't you taking your clothes off yet?"
Black Owl: "..." It would be one thing if it were someone else, but to take off his clothes in front of her.
Why don't you go out for a bit, and come back in after I'm done undressing?
This statement seems somewhat inconsistent with the persona he has always projected in front of her.
"I thought you were used to doing things yourself," Black Owl blurted out without thinking.
Ji Fengyao: "!"
Holy crap, the prince is a yandere, and you're a yandere too?!
