Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Yueyue, do you have soone you like?
The next morning, after the family had finished breakfast, she began preparing to treat Zhao Xiyan.
This ti he wasn’t experiencing tachycardia, but Qi Yue still planned to take advantage of going into the space to give him an ECG scan, in case he had any hidden conditions she could prepare for early on.
This was her first ti entering the bedroom they had shared in the past since her return.
The room still retained its forr appearance without change.
Two quilts and two pillows were still arranged the way they had always been, as if she had never left.
She hesitated and then said to Zhao Xiyan, “Later, put away the pillows and quilts inside, you’ll have more room when you sleep.”
Zhao Xiyan quietly sat in the wheelchair and took a long ti before responding with a simple “Okay.”
The treatnt began, and she handed Zhao Xiyan a bowl of anesthetic.
He took the dicine and looked up at her without drinking it imdiately.
“Can I stay awake?”
Qi Yue shook her head.
“No, you can’t.”
He said nothing more, gave her a deep look, and decisively drank the bowl of dicine.
Qi Yue figured he was probably worried she might do sothing while he was asleep, so, as if to prove sothing, she pulled out the rhinoceros horn from her bosom.
“Don’t worry, the dicine for your leg is right here, once you wake up, everything will be fine.”
She saw his captivating pupils contract slightly, but he soon closed his eyes.
Her dicine always worked quickly.
With a slight smile, she waved her hand and appeared with him in the space’s treatnt room.
For treating Zhao Xiyan, she obviously chose the best.
The best materials, the best environnt.
She dressed neatly, walked to the operating table, and accurately lifted the hem of his clothes, pulling down his pants, quickly finding that small wound near the base of his thigh that prevented him from standing up.
When she had done the CT scan initially, she knew the wound was there.
Though invisible to the naked eye, it was precisely compressing the nerves in his lower body, and over the years, it had grown invisible.
She skillfully perford a minimally invasive surgery; the rhinoceros horn had already been separated into a pile of dross and a pool of shimring golden liquid by the high-speed ion machine.
Within just a few minutes, the golden liquid and that tiny wound had disappeared together, recovering as if nothing had ever happened.
After dressing him, she tidied his clothes, and only then did she realize that her front and back were soaked through, her heart yanked up and down as if she was suffering from heart disease.
She covered her almost missing heartbeat, quietly took a mont to catch her breath, then wheeled Zhao Xiyan in front of the heart ultrasound machine to check his heart.
Since he was under anesthesia at the mont, she could only briefly observe if there were any issues with his heart.
Upon inspection, she imdiately felt relieved.
Perhaps due to Zhao Xiyan’s regular exercise habits, his heart was exceptionally strong for a normal person.
Such a young and vigorous person, it was inevitable to get overly excited, and a faster heartbeat was possible.
After the examination, she moved him out of the space again, placing him on the bedroom bed.
As she covered him with the quilt, she couldn’t help but lean down to look at him.
The first ti she had clearly seen his face, he was also sleeping like this.
A pair of crow-black long eyelashes covered his lower eyelids, as if two black fan flowers had blood amidst shattered jade and towering mountains.
A high, sculpted nose, thin red lips, even his jaw and cheekbones had been ticulously crafted by the hands of ti, intentionally arranged to display a devastatingly heart-stopping charm.
Qi Yue’s heart started pounding violently.
In that mont, she finally understood.
From the mont she first clearly saw his face, she had fallen for him.
Although afterwards, every ti she did sothing good for the Zhao family, she always had to think of one or two reasons why she must do so, it couldn’t cover up the fact that she was rely a love-struck simpleton.
Now she understood.
All along, everything she had done was just paying the price for her lovesick foolishness!
In an instant, all of her unease and dissatisfaction disappeared.
She quietly sat by the bed, silently waiting for the person on the bed to wake up.
Perhaps she should try telling him about her feelings, in case the outco was not as she hoped, they could naturally part ways afterward.
Just as she was restlessly planning this, Zhao Xiyan woke up.
“Yueyue?”
Qi Yue imdiately ca to her senses, quickly stood up, and helped him pull back the quilt.
“You’re awake. Co on, let’s see how it feels.”
She approached him warmly, a departure from her usual manner, intending to help him up.
At that mont, she saw a hairpin peeking out from under his pillow.
The hairpin was made of white jade, with a lifelike Bai Shao flower at the head.
By the smoothness of the engraving marks, it seed he often held it in his hand to fiddle with.
In an instant, Qi Yue’s burning heart went cold.
So, this was why he did not like her.
The woman like Bai Shao must be the one in his heart, right?
That person must be in the Capital City; was that why he held this hairpin day after day, pining for her?
Although her heart was turned upside down, she still helped him up, but she deliberately kept her distance as she approached him.
Then, she saw Zhao Xiyan a bit frantically stuff the hairpin back under the pillow.
Was there still anything left to do or say?
Everything was already clear.
Qi Yue quietly stood a bit further away, moved the wheelchair further as well, turned her head, and smiled at him.
“You should try it; it should be fine now.”
“Okay.”
Zhao Xiyan stood up, gazed firmly at her, and confidently took one step forward, then another…
Seeing that he was almost in front of her, Qi Yue hurriedly opened the door, raising the door curtain as well.
“Walk a little more and see. If anything feels uncomfortable, let know in ti.”
Zhao Xiyan did not move any further. He stood still, quietly looking at her.
“It’s all good now, Yueyue.”
The two of them just stood, separated by the door, looking at each other, neither moving forward nor backward.
After a while, he finally fixed his gaze on her eyes and asked in a tone she had never heard before, gentle.
“Yueyue, you looked for that dicine; it must have been dangerous, right? Did you get hurt anywhere? Actually, it’s fine to stand on one leg; you didn’t need to go through so much trouble.”
“Not dangerous at all, don’t you know my skills?” Qi Yue smiled at him, like a child oblivious to worldly affairs.
“Besides, I had already promised you, I would get you standing up again, restore your glory as the War God, how could I go back on my word?”
“Of course, I know, Yueyue, you are the most capable,” he smiled.
Suddenly, he paused, then took another step forward, his beautiful eyes showing a hopeful expression.
“Yueyue, do you have soone you like?”
This sudden question startled Qi Yue.
After thinking for a mont, she nodded seriously.
“Yes, there is one.”
She saw his smile freeze for a mont, but it quickly dispersed, fleeting as if it were sorrow transient as a night-blooming flower.
Thus, she couldn’t resist asking him a question in return.
“You have soone too, right? Back in the Capital City, I know many noble ladies sent you flowers.”
This ti he smiled again, but the smile was like the night-blooming flower, brief and vanishing.
Qi Yue thought to herself, his beloved really must be in the Capital City; he was lanting his inability to return, wasn’t he?
She felt her heart damp, as if drenched by acid rain; after the initial moisture, ca a devastating pain.
