"Young Master... he was kidnapped by the Young Madam..." Mu Yi's fingers rubbed his chin, as if struggling for words.
Silence fell in the room.
"What exactly happened?"
They all knew that if it were just a simple kidnapping, Mu Yi wouldn't be reporting it now.
Mu Yi's eyes glazed over as he recalled the scene: "At that time, I was watching from outside the window as the Young Madam sprinkled a handful of powder on the Young Master, and then the Young Master couldn't stand and was about to faint."
"I originally intended to push the Young Madam away, but I saw the Young Master's instructions, telling me not to interfere."
"You must have misread it, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's brows furrowed.
"Impossible. If I hadn't seen the Young Master's instructions, I would never have stood by and done nothing."
After a period of silence, one of them suddenly spoke.
"Since it was the Young Master's choice, then there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"How is that possible? Have you forgotten how she tormented our Young Master before?"
"Exactly. With our Young Master's achievements and status, he shouldn't have to endure such indignities, but he... sigh!"
-------------------------------------
The sun blazed fiercely, and the lush green grass and trees around them tightly closed their stomata.
It should have been an irritating day, yet the two people guarding the pond showed no signs of annoyance.
Just as the old man had said,
It was blissful.
"Mu Qi, I'm not fishing anymore." Yun Shuni listened and glanced at the bucket already full of fish.
It hadn't even taken an hour.
"Mu Qi, why don't you just dump half of these fish?" Yun Shuni said helplessly, looking at the full bucket of fish.
They wouldn't be able to eat them all, and even bringing them back would be a hassle.
"Mu Qi, I didn't mean to make you fish for so long and then not want them, it's just that there are too many and it's really difficult for us to manage."
Yun Shuni watched Mu Qi leaning against the big tree without moving. She licked her dry lips, feeling a little nervous.
"Mu Qi?" Yun Shuni held the chain, gently leaned closer, and nudged Mu Qi.
The fishing rod quickly fell to the ground.
Mu Qi's palm faced upwards as he landed on the ground.
His slightly lowered head was now slightly raised to the side.
Only then did Yun Shuni notice that Mu Qi's palm seemed to have been injured when he was struggling to break free from the chain on the bed, and the wounds now appeared to be infected.
There was also an abnormal flush on his face, she didn't know when it had appeared.
Yun Shuni immediately took Mu Qi's pulse.
Afterward, Yun Shuni's brow furrowed, her face showing struggle, but she eventually loosened the chain and walked into the woods.
Yun Shuni was afraid Mu Qi would run away, so she hurried, walking very fast.
However, by the time Yun Shuni had finally gathered the medicinal herbs and returned, Mu Qi was nowhere to be seen.
Yun Shuni clutched the herbs and looked around.
"What are you looking for?" A voice suddenly came from behind. Yun Shuni was startled and was about to fall aside when her back hit a scorching chest.
Yun Shuni straightened up. "Why are you up?"
Mu Qi pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Mu Qi, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Yun Shuni anxiously touched Mu Qi's forehead.
"I'm fine. Mu Qi, I'm asking you as a doctor now, please answer seriously." Yun Shuni frowned, her tone quite sharp.
Mu Qi, however, laughed heartily. Even though Yun Shuni couldn't see it, she could feel the vibration of his chest behind her.
It felt good that she cared about him.
The next moment, Mu Qi leaned against Yun Shuni and lost consciousness.
"Mu Qi!" Yun Shuni quickly helped Mu Qi lean back against the tree, then applied some external herbal medicine to Mu Qi's hand. She then looked at the remaining herbs in her hand, her movements pausing slightly.
Yun Shuni glanced at the unconscious Mu Qi again, then immediately put the herbs in her hand into her mouth, chewed them, and then covered Mu Qi's lips.
...
Half an hour later, Mu Qi still showed no signs of waking up.
Yun Shuni frowned, raised her hand to feel Mu Qi's pulse, and as she felt its steadiness, her brows gradually relaxed.
She stayed by Mu Qi's side, gazing at him intently.
Yun Shuni had looked at this face many times in her past life. Even though she had deeply detested Mu Qi at the time, she couldn't help but admit that Mu Qi was the most handsome person she had ever seen.
This was a rare opportunity for Yun Shuni, besides when Mu Qi was asleep last night.
Normally, Yun Shuni couldn't help but look at Mu Qi, but she was always shy. She couldn't be as unrestrained as she was now, even forgetting about time.
Mu Qi's bone structure was neither overly strong nor overly soft, but just right.
Or perhaps, he could be both wolf-like and baby-like.
Soon, a layer of sweat gathered on Mu Qi's forehead and hands. Yun Shuni, observing closely, naturally noticed this.
Yun Shuni raised her hand and gently wiped away the sweat with the back of her hand.
Another half hour passed, and Mu Qi's pulse was now very steady.
Logically speaking, Mu Qi had rested long enough by now, and Yun Shuni could wake him up and go back together.
However, Yun Shuni seemed to have become addicted to this state and had no intention of waking Mu Qi.
Mu Qi, when asleep, was very well-behaved. It seemed that no matter what she did, Mu Qi would quietly stay by her side.
There was no mountain palace here, no other flashy butterflies, and no buzzing, annoying butterflies. Su Dan Novel Net.
However, for safety's sake, Mu Qi needed to take this medicine again.
Yun Shuni put the herbs in her mouth again and covered Mu Qi's lips, slowly transferring the medicine.
Only a little bit of the medicinal juice was transferred into Mu Qi's mouth, but on Yun Shuni's pure heart, a silken thread seemed to have been cast, making her heart flutter with an unbearable itch.
Looking at Mu Qi's obedient appearance with his eyes closed, Yun Shuni closed her eyes, her hand, stained with the green medicine, reaching inside Mu Qi's shirt.
Her tongue hooked Mu Qi's palate, and gradually her entire upper body pressed down on Mu Qi.
Her lips were cool and soft, and the touch of her hands was comparable to warm silk.
Yun Shuni was almost instantly lost in it.
But soon, the person beneath her, at some unknown point, frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
