Just as Yan Jin was about to take the jar, pay, and go home, Yu Shu lightly tugged on her sleeve. “Yan Jin, I’m itchy.”
Seeing this, the old doctor said, “There’s a small private room in the back. You can go apply the medicine for him.”
Yan Jin didn’t take the old doctor’s suggestion. She asked, “Can you find a man to apply the medicine for him?”
Yan Jin didn’t let the old doctor help apply the medicine. She hadn’t forgotten this was a female-dominant world, so she wanted to find a man to apply the medicine for Yu Shu.
As for why Yan Jin didn’t do it herself, the reason was simple. The rashes on Yu Shu weren’t just on his exposed skin, but definitely also under his clothes.
Just living together with Yu Shu, Yan Jin was often mistaken as being in a relationship with him. If she also applied medicine for Yu Shu, by the next day there might be rumors that they were a runaway married couple.
“Besides my husband, there are no other men here. But my husband has already gone to bed early. It’s just applying some medicine, no need to wake him for that.” The doctor in his fifties glanced at Yan Jin. “Besides, is there anywhere on your husband’s body you haven’t seen before? What’s with the shyness about applying some medicine?”
[Here it comes again, the “Yan Jin and Yu Shu are a couple” misunderstanding, late but arrived. I just knew someone would misunderstand their relationship again.]
[You can’t blame the old doctor. Even in our ancient times, if a man brought a woman to see the doctor in the middle of the night, wouldn’t you think that way?]
Yan Jin was exasperated. “We don’t have that kind of relationship. I’m his elder sister.”
“Biological sister?” The old doctor asked.
Yan Jin: “…Distant cousin.”
Although directly saying they were biological siblings could permanently eliminate future troubles, what if?
What if she really got together with Yu Shu in the future? That would be hard to explain.
After all, with her charm, it was absolutely impossible for Yu Shu to not fall for her after being together day and night.
“A distant female cousin drinking with her unrelated younger male cousin until the wee hours?” The old doctor heavily patted Yan Jin’s shoulder. “I know young people don’t want to settle down so quickly, but you can’t make light of a man’s precious reputation.”
Yan Jin quickly explained, “He’s the one who dragged me to drink so late.”
“The flower is willing but the water is ruthless,” the old doctor sighed deeply. “Indeed, if a woman isn’t bad, a man won’t love her.”
Yan Jin silently took note of the increasingly terrible impressions. She’d have to properly settle scores with Yu Shu tomorrow when he sobered up.
Because of Yu Shu getting drunk tonight, the rumors unfairly piled on her could build a Mount Tai.
Yu Shu would have to compensate her well.
Although Yan Jin had mentally prepared herself, she ran into more trouble when actually applying the medicine for Yu Shu.
The small private room in the doctor’s office had a small bed with a mirror hanging inside. Carelessly, Yan Jin let Yu Shu see his rash-covered face in the mirror.
Yan Jin had just brought the small medicine jar in when she saw Yu Shu facing the wall, sitting silently cross-legged on the bed.
“What are you doing?” Seeing this scene, Yan Jin laughed. “Reflecting on your mistakes facing the wall?”
“I just saw myself in the mirror.” Yu Shu held his face, looking very depressed. “Too ugly.”
Seeing Yu Shu so dejected, Yan Jin thought he had sobered up. Who knew Yu Shu’s next sentence would be, “I’ve become ugly. You don’t like me anymore, right?”
Judging by the look in his eyes, this little drunkard was still drunk and dazed.
Yan Jin coaxed Yu Shu without even looking back while washing her hands. “How are you ugly? You’re still very cute.”
But although Yan Jin felt she was gentle, thoughtful and patient enough, when she finished washing her hands and turned around to apply medicine for Yu Shu, she saw a tightly wrapped “cocoon” on the bed.
Yan Jin: “…”
Drunk Yu Shu had grown quite bold.
Yan Jin patted the “cocoon” through the blanket, her tone very exasperated. “Tell me, what’s wrong with you now?”
[The way Yan Jin used the word “now” is especially brilliant, tsk tsk.]
[Yu Shu got drunk and had an allergic reaction. Can’t Yan Jin be more patient in coaxing him? Being so perfunctory, if it were me, I’d definitely do better than Yan Jin.]
[Sisters, as fans we should search our conscience and admit, Yan Jin isn’t Yu Shu’s fangirl. It’s already not easy for her to do this much. We’ve also watched the livestream for so many days. Yan Jin just isn’t the meticulous, caring type. For her to do this much is really quite rare.]
“You were so dismissive just now.” Yu Shu, who had stuffed himself into the blanket, mumbled, “You must think I look awful now.”
Yan Jin explained earnestly, “What I said just now all came from the bottom of my heart. I didn’t mean to dismiss you.”
