After the servants cleared away the tableware and sundries, they went about their business, and the courtyard returned to peace again.

The sunlight penetrates the treetops, scattering on the ground in patches, contrasting beautifully with the ripe peaches hanging on the trees.

The air is filled with refreshing fruity and floral scents.

The two sat on rattan chairs under the peach tree, and Liu Qianyu handed Yun Zimo a peach.

"Try it, this peach is very sweet."

Yun Zimo took the peach and took a bite. It was indeed juicy and sweet.

Liu Qianyu naturally stretched out her hand and gently covered Yun Zimo's wrist with her other wrist placed on the armrest of the rattan chair.

"Let me take your pulse."

Yun Zimo's heart moved slightly. Although he was a little hesitant, he still obediently allowed her to touch his pulse.

There was a coolness at her fingertips, which made Yun Zimo feel inexplicably at ease.

Liu Qianyu closed her eyes and concentrated, carefully feeling Yun Zimo's pulse.

After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, revealing a bit of confidence.

"The pulse is thin and astringent, caused by a serious injury in the past. The meridians are blocked, the internal organs are damaged, the qi and blood are not flowing smoothly, the cold is stagnant, and the vitality is difficult to recover. The first thing to do is to take medicine every day, supplemented by acupuncture twice a week to promote blood circulation and dredge the meridians."

"Starting tomorrow, I will come to your place and give you acupuncture half an hour after lunch every day. After taking the medicine, be sure to rest and don't overwork. I will definitely be able to cure you."

Yun Zimo said nothing, gently twisting the corner of his clothes with his fingers.

Do we really have to get more and more involved?

"Don't worry about it. You will be under my control from now on. I will just let you avenge me. This is my investment."

Liu Qianyu didn't give him a chance to refuse.

Yun Zimo and Liu Hetai returned to their own yard.

As soon as Liu Hetai entered the door, he couldn't suppress his inner worries.

"Master, Divine Doctor Liu is a highly skilled doctor, but Miss Liu has only been helping out. You have a weak constitution, what if..."

Yun Zimo shook his head gently, "Hetai, my body is already like this, how much worse can it get? I have managed to get through all these years."

"Young Master..."

Liu Hetai was still trying to struggle, but Yun Zimo had already walked into the study without looking back.

* * *

At noon the next day, bright sunshine poured down.

After the meal, Yun Zimo and Liu Qianyu walked side by side to Yun Zimo’s yard.

Liu Hetai took the medicine box and followed.

The yard is not big, but it is arranged in an orderly manner. Several green bamboos stand upright, swaying in the wind.

After entering Yun Zimo's room, Liu Hetai put down the medicine box and went to the kitchen to boil the medicine.

Liu Qianyu looked around. The layout was just as simple as when she followed her father here in her previous life.

There was a faint smell of medicine in the air.

The room has excellent lighting. The windows are half open, and the sunlight shines through the window lattice onto the small couch beside the window.

Liu Qianyu walked to the small couch by the window with ease.

Pointing at the small couch and looking at Yun Zimo.

"Take off your shirt and lie down on the couch."

Yun Zimo's eyes flickered, and she pursed her red lips, showing panic.

"I'm a doctor. Doctors don't care about gender. Do you need my help?"

Seeing Liu Qianyu's face with a playful smile, Yun Zimo's heart trembled slightly and he turned around quickly.

"Need not!"

He took off his shirt, leaving only a pair of trousers, revealing his fair upper body covered with scars.

She was all too familiar with these scars.

Back then, it was she who applied the medicine to him personally.

She remembered that her father once asked him if he needed scar removal medicine, but he shook his head and chose to leave the scars on his body, as if to remember the blood feud.

Liu Qianyu walked behind him and gently stroked the scar on his back with her fingers.

It's still so deep after five years. How much pain did he feel back then?

Yun Zimo felt her touch, his body trembled slightly, and his breathing became almost silent.

It was as if a feather was tickling his trembling heart, and he was craving for that itchy feeling.

"Go lie down on the couch, and start with your back."

Liu Qianyu opened the medicine box and began to prepare.

Yun Zimo lay on the small couch with his eyes closed, his body as tense as a guitar string.

Liu Qianyu gently stroked the area between the spinous processes of the lumbar vertebrae where she would soon inject the needle.

Yun Zimo opened his eyes instantly, and a flame shot out from deep in his pupils, burning extremely violently.

Liu Qianyu patted his back, which became even stiffer.

"Relax."

Yun Zimo took a deep breath and began to silently recite the sages' books, trying to divert his attention away.

Liu Qianyu inserted a silver needle into his back, at the Mingmen acupoint between the spinous processes of the 2nd and 3rd lumbar vertebrae;

Next is the Dazhui point in the depression below the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra;

Shenshu point, 2 inches below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra;

······

As Liu Qianyu moved, silver needles pierced into his acupuncture points one by one.

Yun Zimo felt a warm current spreading from his lumbar spine to the surrounding area.

Quarter of an hour later, Liu Qianyu put away the silver needles on her back.

"Turn over and lie down."

Yun Zimo turned over obediently, but did not dare to open his eyes.

Liu Qianyu saw that he closed his eyes tightly, his thick long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his breathing was slightly stagnant.

The boy's ears turned red, like a cooked shrimp.

There was a sense of shy ambiguity in the silence.

Liu Qianyu raised the corners of her lips, thinking that the little puppy was quite cute.

But I couldn't bear to tease him anymore.

So silver needles were inserted into his Qihai, Guanyuan, Tanzhong, Zhongwan and Tianshu points.

As the silver needle inserted itself, Yun Zimo only felt a warm force surging in his body.

He secretly opened his eyes and looked at Liu Qianyu.

The sunlight shone on the ends of her hair, giving her a golden halo.

Just like 5 years ago, the moment he opened his eyes, he seemed to see a fairy descending to the earth.

After about two quarters of an hour, the acupuncture was over.

Liu Qianyu put away the silver needle.

"Okay, after you finish drinking the medicine, take a good nap. You haven't gotten enough sleep, so it's hard for you to recover your energy."

Yun Zimo silently pulled the quilt over himself and covered himself.

I dare not sleep.

The blood feud follows him like a shadow, and the tragic situation of his family is vivid in his dreams.

Unable to sleep at night, he used books as swords and wisdom as blades, vowing to kill his enemies before he could be free.

Liu Qianyu saw the sadness in his eyelids and sighed.

"Young Master, just focus on preparing for the provincial examination. Leave everything else to me. I will make a lot of money to support you, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Yun Zimo stared at Liu Qianyu with eyes full of care, and the words surging in his heart seemed to come out but stopped several times.

He originally wanted to mention that although the Yun family’s property was plundered by the fifth prince.

But a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and he is also rich, but in order to get revenge, he has to keep a low profile.

However, he didn't say anything in the end.

I don’t know when, that initial dependence turned into attachment.

It made him greedy.

I actually thought that as long as she liked it, it would be fine to let her support me for the rest of her life.

I feel a little humble, a little shameless, and a little addicted.

Conflicted and struggling, pain surged like a tide, pouring into every part of his body.

He didn't know what to do.

"Master, the medicine is ready and the temperature is just right."

At this time, Liu Hetai walked in with a bowl of black medicine, and the smell of medicine instantly filled the entire room.

Yun Zimo frowned slightly, but took the bowl without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp, with bitterness spreading on the tip of his tongue.

"Come, eat some candied fruit to slow down."

Liu Qianyu took out a jar of candied fruit from the medicine box, picked up a fruit and put it into Yun Zimo's mouth.

"Sister Yu, I'm not a child anymore." Yun Zimo was a little embarrassed.

"You are just a young man now, how come you could eat before but can't eat now?"

Liu Qianyu chuckled, and that laughter was like a spring breeze.

The sweet taste instantly dispelled Yun Zimo's bitterness.

"I asked Aunt Xianglan to make this candied fruit for you. If you don't like it, you can give it to Hetai."

"Okay, thank you Miss Liu."

Liu Hetai was about to reach out to take it, but he saw the young master quickly close the lid and hand him the empty medicine bowl.

"After you finish drinking, take it and wash it."

Liu Hetai had no choice but to take the empty bowl and turn away.

Humph, if you don’t give it to me, I’ll go ask Aunt Xianglan myself.
