Besides, Jiang Ziling was not a talkative person. Sharing this little secret with him was harmless and could also play a little trick on him. Thinking of this, a cunning light flashed in her eyes, and she secretly decided in her heart, and she made the decision happily.

Su Yu pretended to be relaxed, with a hint of subtle mischief in his tone, and slowly said: "Auntie Wang's family has not had any children for many years. In fact, it is because she and Meng Yuanyou are not in harmony on some private matters. Everyone in the village knows that I know a little about medicine and can treat some minor illnesses, so Auntie Wang found me with a glimmer of hope and wanted me to check her husband's condition."

Jiang Ziling's throat suddenly felt itchy when he heard this, and he couldn't help but cough twice, trying to cover up the sudden embarrassment: "Ahem..."

This topic was so unexpected that he was at a loss as to what to do.

He muttered to himself that it was unexpected that the little girl spoke so directly, and he couldn't help but regret his curiosity just now.

At this moment, there seemed to be an indescribable subtle atmosphere in the air, making the conversation between the two people particularly intriguing.

Little did he know that Jiang Ziling’s surprise was far from over.

Su Yu changed the subject and continued, "Although Meng Yuanyou looks like a big and strong man, he is powerless when it comes to matters between husband and wife. Because he is too proud, he refused to seek medical treatment, so the matter was delayed year after year. Aunt Wang was also burdened with many misunderstandings and was considered infertile."

After hearing this, Jiang Ziling's cheeks flushed suspiciously and his breathing became cautious, trying his best to make himself inconspicuous in this conversation.

But how could Su Yu miss such a great opportunity to tease him? Her eyes flashed, and she asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Hey, come to think of it, you are not young anymore, but you have not yet married. Is there something you can't tell me? If so, you might as well tell me generously, maybe I can solve it for you."

These words directly shifted the focus to Jiang Ziling, leaving him with no way to avoid it.

Although he was embarrassed, he had to bite the bullet and respond on the issue of masculinity: "I... I'm fine."

"Is everything okay?"

Su Yu pretended to be puzzled and asked back, with a mischievous light flashing in his eyes, "If you haven't tried it, how can you be sure that everything is fine?"

Jiang Ziling was speechless for a moment and couldn't find the right words to respond.

Seeing this, Su Yu deliberately raised his eyebrows and suggested in a relaxed and playful tone: "How about this, after your leg injury is healed, I will help you verify it myself?"

The implication of these words made Jiang Ziling's mind buzz and go blank in an instant. Such bold words actually came from the mouth of a seemingly innocent girl, which really made him dumbfounded.

His cheeks turned red like ripe persimmons, and his body was stiff, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Su Yuze leaned leisurely on the bed, supporting his chin with one hand, a mischievous gleam in his eyes, and observed Jiang Ziling's every move with great interest, as if he was appreciating a carefully planned comedy.

"Why, you don't seem happy about it?"

Su Yu still maintained that gentle tone and asked softly again.

Faced with such "provocation", Jiang Ziling had no way to retreat. He could only pull the quilt over silently and wrap himself up, leaving only a deep sigh echoing under the quilt.

In his heart, he couldn't help but wonder, does this girl really understand what he is saying?

Su Yu looked at Jiang Ziling hiding in the quilt like a frightened rabbit, his eyes full of smiles.

After all, in the place where she used to live, it was rare to find such an innocent and humorous adult man.

This unexpected fun filled her heart with inexplicable joy.

Hehe, this is really fun! Su Yu chuckled as he quietly observed Jiang Ziling's helpless look after being teased, and a childish sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

Then, she curled up contentedly in the warm bed and fell asleep with a sly smile on her face.

Jiang Ziling was disturbed by this sudden prank. The originally peaceful night became turbulent, and his sleepiness seemed to be swept away by the night wind, disappearing without a trace.

He tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and finally couldn't suppress the turmoil in his heart anymore. He slowly poked his head out from under the quilt, looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and couldn't help but let out a helpless and slightly bitter sigh.

During this period of time spent together day and night, Jiang Ziling found that he had developed an indescribable affection for this quirky little girl.

However, thinking of the huge age difference between them - he was nearly ten years older than her, coupled with his ordinary family background and physical inconveniences, these realities were like heavy shackles that tightly bound his inner emotions.

He knew very well that this relationship was impossible, so he chose to bury his feelings deep in his heart and never dared to have any inappropriate thoughts towards Su Yu.

In his eyes, Su Yu's occasional mischief was just due to her natural innocence and curiosity, and there was no other intention.

Although they lived under the same roof, Jiang Ziling always walked on thin ice and adhered to the insurmountable boundaries, fearing that his emotions would affect Su Yu's future search for happiness.

Behind this forbearance and restraint is the heavy burden he silently bears and his deep care and respect for Su Yu.

How could Su Yu know that Jiang Ziling's heart was filled with such complex and delicate emotions.

She has been practicing in the mountains with her master since she was young. Although she has little contact with the outside world, she is particularly smart and sharp because of her precocity. Her master often jokingly calls her "the clever little fox in the mountains."

In order to prevent her from being forgotten by the tide of the times, the master resolutely decided to let her enter the secular school.

However, for her, who has been surrounded by medicinal herbs and acupuncture points since childhood, facing pop culture symbols such as "Balala the Fairies" and "TFboys" is like facing the code of another world. She finds it difficult to join in the heated discussions of her classmates.

In contrast, Su Yu prefers the tranquility and nature in the mountains and forests, as well as the innocent play with small animals.

As time went by, Su Yu's graceful figure gradually attracted many admiring eyes.

But in her eyes, those boys who secretly gave her love letters or boldly confessed their love to her were just a group of immature children who could not touch the softest part of her heart.

Occasionally, when she thinks back, she would be curious. If it weren't for fate, experiencing the ups and downs of human love might have been a different kind of excitement.

Speaking of Jiang Ziling, Su Yu was not attracted to him in the traditional sense, but was more attracted by his extraordinary appearance.

What’s even more interesting is that the shyness and purity in daily life form a strange contrast with the strong physique displayed when working.
