He had only teased Physician Si a bit, although he indeed had that intention, but he didn’t expect Physician Si’s husband to come looking for him so quickly.

Luo Shaoxuan ignored his words, his fingers slowly circled from the other side of the table, slowly approaching him, just as he was about to scream, he reached out and directly squeezed his cheeks hard, no matter how he struggled, he could not escape.

“Mmph mmph mmph!” Cai’er felt that he could not open his mouth no matter what, the fingers on both sides of his cheeks were so forceful that they seemed to be squeezing his face off.

Luo Shaoxuan’s face was gloomy, the corner of his mouth curled up on one side, like an evil spirit revealing a bloodthirsty, cruel smile, looking at the face he had subdued, his heart was flooded with killing intent, “Why do you have to get her attention! I only have her, why do you still want to fight with me for her!”

He had never lingered over anything, wealth or power, they were nothing in his eyes.

All he had ever pursued and desired was just her.

Luo Shaoxuan looked at the struggling man, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes, saying word by word, “She belongs to me alone.”

Luo Shaoxuan seemed to be talking to the struggling man, and also seemed to be talking to himself.

“She belongs to me alone.”

……

In the bamboo house, Si Qingyu turned over, out of habit wanting to hug the person beside her, but she hugged air.

Her sleepiness dissipated a little, she opened her hazy eyes and looked around the room but did not see anyone, her brows furrowed slightly, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.

It was still dark outside.

She was just about to get out of bed when she saw the door open, Luo Shaoxuan was wearing his inner clothes with an outer garment draped over, he looked at Si Qingyu who had sat up and said softly, “Did I wake you?”

Si Qingyu shook her head, “No, what did you go out for.”

“Just to relieve myself.”

Si Qingyu had no suspicion at all, she yawned sleepily and lay back down, waving at him and said to him full of sleepiness, “Come back to sleep quickly.”

Luo Shaoxuan, standing there, smiled sweetly, came over and sat on the edge of the bed, gently pressing his face against hers.

Si Qingyu, who was about to fall asleep again, was startled by his action, “What’s wrong?”

He gently rubbed against the side of her face, his half-open eyes deep, his voice seeming like sleep-talk, “I miss you……”

Missing her so much that her person, her body, her heart were all filled with him, missing her so much that his heart ached, both sour and numb, this feeling was addictive to him.

“……” But Si Qingyu did not know what he meant, she only felt that he had only gone to the toilet, how could he talk as if they hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

She patted his back lightly, somewhat helplessly, she could only coax such a spoiled person, “Alright alright, let’s sleep early.” With that, she pulled him onto the bed.

The man lay down on the inner side of the bed as she wished, as soon as he lay down, he reached out and wrapped tightly around her, burying his face in her black hair and smelling the fragrance between her strands.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a sickly smile, sighing with satisfaction.

……

The next morning, Si Qingyu got up a bit late today, she thought that when she arrived at the medical hall, the door would be open early as usual.

But……

Si Qingyu stood in front of the medical hall, frowning slightly at the tightly closed door, Sixi hadn’t come yet? How come she was also late today?

She opened the door, placed the breakfast she brought on the tea table, and was about to pour herself a cup of tea when she saw Zhao Sixi running in from outside, sweating profusely.

Si Qingyu looked at the sweaty person, handed over a handkerchief, and said indifferently, “Why are you late today too?”

Zhao Sixi took the handkerchief and wiped her face casually, speaking while panting heavily, “No, Physician Si, I came very early.”

“Then where did you go if not in the medical hall?”

Hearing this, Zhao Sixi’s expression became even more excited, looking like she couldn’t wait to share the gossip with her, “Something happened at the courtesan house in town!”

Si Qingyu picked up a pastry, her expression indifferent, “So?”

That completely uncurious look directly hit Zhao Sixi who was excitedly wanting to share the gossip with her, she was like a deflated balloon, her voice much smaller, “I heard that something happened at the courtesan house when I came over early in the morning, so……”

Si Qingyu glanced at her coldly, “So you went to take a look?”

“……Mm.” Zhao Sixi lowered her head and answered guiltily, her fingers anxiously tugging at the hem of her clothes.

Seeing her dejected appearance, Si Qingyu’s indifferent eyes softened a bit, “Why are you like this, it’s not like I forbid it.”

Zhao Sixi cautiously raised her head and glanced at her, “Physician Si, you’re not blaming me anymore?”

“Why should I blame you?” It was just a child’s curiosity, what was there to blame?

Zhao Sixi immediately brightened up, she trotted over to the seat beside Si Qingyu, picked up the tea that Si Qingyu had poured for her and drained it in one gulp, wiped her mouth with her sleeve and said to her seriously, “Physician Si, I just heard someone say that someone died at the courtesan house, so I ran over to take a look.”

“Mm.” Si Qingyu responded indifferently, someone died, what was there to be so curious about?

Having long guessed Si Qingyu’s calm reaction, she still leaned close to Si Qingyu’s face mysteriously, “Physician Si, do you know who the dead person is?”

“Hm?” How would she know who it was?

“I heard them say it was Cai’er, the most popular courtesan in the house……” Zhao Sixi finished speaking and looked at her hesitantly, “Physician Si, isn’t that the young master who came to our medical hall yesterday?”

Si Qingyu’s hand holding the teacup paused, finally turning her head to look at her, frowning slightly, “It’s him?”

He was fine yesterday, how come something happened to him today?

Zhao Sixi nodded vigorously, the image of the corpse with its face skinned off that she had squeezed through the crowd to see just now flashing through her mind, she shuddered.

What kind of deep grudge was this!

Si Qingyu was not too distracted by this matter, she got up and walked to the medicine cabinet, “Since you’ve seen it and talked about it, hurry up and get to work.”

That’s it? Zhao Sixi pouted boredly, “Physician Si, you could at least act a little surprised……” In the end, she didn’t even get a glance.

She dejectedly lowered her head, walked to the cabinet and rested her chin on it, tilting her head to look at the indifferent woman and said, “Physician Si, are you always like this at home too?”

Si Qingyu looked at her uncomprehendingly.

“So boring.” Zhao Sixi blurted out what was in her mind, after saying it, she immediately pursed her lips tightly, her eyes guiltily glancing around.

This person was getting bolder and bolder, Si Qingyu bent her finger and forcefully flicked her forehead.

“Tsk~” Zhao Sixi covered her forehead in pain, looking at her aggrievedly.

“Hurry up and get to work.”

“Oh……” She rubbed her forehead and suddenly remembered to take out several cakes from her bag and hand them to Si Qingyu, “Physician Si, these are from my mom for you, she said if you like them, she’ll make more for you in the future.”

Looking at those dry biscuits, Si Qingyu only felt thirsty, the corner of her mouth twitched as she took them from her hand, “Please thank your mom for me, but don’t bother in the future.”

“It’s no bother, my mom said the cakes are delicious and told Physician Si to take some back for Young Master Luo to eat.” She thought of that noble and beautiful man, he really didn’t match with these big cakes, Zhao Sixi pursed her lips and mumbled, “But I don’t think Young Master Luo will eat them.”

Si Qingyu took the biscuits and put them aside, picked up the purple brush and ran it over the white paper, hearing the girl’s mumbling, she glanced at her, “What? You seem to have some opinions about him?”

Hearing this, Zhao Sixi mumbled even more softly, “How dare I……”

Si Qingyu didn’t hear the last few words clearly, she was about to ask when she was interrupted by a magnetic and pleasant voice, “Miss Zhao seems to have some misunderstanding about me?”
