After hearing what Murong Xuewei said, Gu Ye also felt that it was because she was too tired.

"Then I'll use my light-footed skills to take you back! It's still quite a distance from here to the General's Mansion."

Murong Xuewei wanted to refuse, but before she could even speak, Gu Ye had already picked her up horizontally and, with a light tap of his foot, lifted her into the air.

Murong Xuewei immediately wrapped her arms around Gu Ye's neck, afraid that if she let go, she would fall.

"Gu Ye, could you please let me know before you take off next time? You just suddenly take off like that, what if I don't catch you and you fall down?"

Gu Ye looked down at the person in his arms. "Don't worry, I won't let you fall."

Gu Ye spoke very seriously, and Murong Xuewei felt her heart beat faster than usual.

But he still stubbornly insisted, "What if I accidentally fall down? I'll be dead."

Gu Ye suddenly stopped on the rooftop, looked at Murong Xuewei seriously, and said, word by word, "I, Gu Ye, will never let you fall from my hands in this lifetime. If that day ever comes, I will definitely be there to cushion your fall."

By the moonlight, Murong Xuewei could clearly see Gu Ye's earnest and sincere gaze. Her heart, which had been pounding non-stop, seemed to slow down considerably, and she even missed a beat.

Murong Xuewei turned her head to the side and buried it in Gu Ye's arm.

"I'm sleepy, let's go back quickly!"

Gu Ye looked at Murong Xuewei for a while, and seeing that Murong Xuewei seemed to be really sleepy, he hugged Murong Xuewei tightly and then stepped on the ground again.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Gu Ye saw that Murong Xuewei was already asleep. He gently placed Murong Xuewei on the bed, pulled the quilt over her, and quietly left.

As soon as Gu Ye left, Murong Xuewei opened her eyes again.

Murong Xuewei sighed, turned over, looked at the wall, closed her eyes, and tried to fall asleep.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, all she could see in her mind was Gu Ye's sincere gaze, which made Murong Xuewei's heart, which had finally calmed down, start beating fiercely again.

Murong Xuewei clutched her chest tightly. "What's wrong with me? Do I have a fever too?"

As soon as Gu Ye stepped out the door, Zhang Jing was already waiting for him.

Zhang Jing leaned against the railing, a gentle breeze blowing, causing his long white hair to sway slowly in the wind.

She has a very ordinary appearance, but it's her eyes that make it impossible to look away.

"Chat?"

Gu Ye looked back at a closed door and nodded.

The two arrived at the pavilion, and Zhang Jing took out a pot of wine from somewhere, poured a cup, and handed it to Gu Ye.

"Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Murong Xuewei?"

Gu Ye took the glass and drank it all in one gulp. "It's just a business relationship."

"A cooperative relationship?" Zhang Jing poured Gu Ye another cup. "The woman in that mansion today only had a common fever. Any doctor you trust could have treated her. Why did you insist on coming to me? Don't forget our agreement."

Gu Ye threw the glass away, took the wine from Zhang Jing's hand, and drank it down in one gulp.

“Of course I remember. You promised to help me save ten people, and I volunteered to become your drug test subject.”

Zhang Jing glanced at Gu Ye with annoyance, "Good that you remember. But do you remember that, including that woman, I've already saved five people for you. Now there are five people left."

Zhang Jing held up his hand and made a five-pointed star in front of Gu Ye.

Gu Ye slapped Zhang Jing's hand away. "Remember, five is enough."

Zhang Jing looked at Gu Ye's nonchalant attitude with curiosity, "We've known each other for seven years now, and you've always seemed so indifferent to everything since the first year I met you. I'm curious what could possibly make you react like this!"

Suddenly, the image of Murong Xuewei appeared in Gu Ye's mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Zhang Jing happened to see Gu Ye's lips curving upwards, and he moved closer to Gu Ye, grabbing Gu Ye's hand. "Who were you thinking about just now? Your heart was beating so fast."

Gu Ye glanced away. "I wasn't thinking about anyone. Do you think the divine doctors of your Divine Doctor Valley care about the feelings of those they treat?"

"Of course we have to manage that. You know, the results are best when the patients are in a good mood," Zhang Jing said matter-of-factly.

"Then I'm sorry, I might be an unqualified drug user. Would you consider finding another drug user?"

Zhang Jing shook off Gu Ye's hand. "You've become like a dead man again. But you have to trust my judgment. Since I chose you to be my drug user, you must be the best drug user."

Gu Ye tossed the wine jug back to Zhang Jing and turned to leave.

"Perhaps you've misjudged this time?"

Zhang Jing caught the wine jug and said confidently, "I definitely won't be wrong."

Zhang Jing picked up the wine jug and tried to pour it into his mouth, but nothing came out. He could only curse at Gu Ye's back.

"You damn Gu Ye, you've finished all my wine again."

Early the next morning.

Murong Xuewei got up with huge dark circles under her eyes.

When Liuli pushed open the door to help Murong Xuewei wash up, she was also startled.

"Madam, who hit you? Tell me, and I'll avenge you." With that, Liuli rolled up her sleeves, ready to rush out and find someone to fight.

Murong Xuewei grabbed Liuli's arm. "No, I just didn't sleep well yesterday. Do I look that bad?"

Without saying anything, Liuli simply brought the mirror over and placed it in front of Murong Xuewei.

When Murong Xuewei looked in the mirror, her face was sallow and she had dark circles under her eyes.

If you mess up your hair even a little, you'll look like someone who's been seriously ill for a long time.

Murong Xuewei rubbed her face, thinking to herself, "It's all Gu Ye's fault. Why did he have to bring me back? Now every time I close my eyes all night, I see Gu Ye's image."

"Sigh! I'll just have to cover it up with makeup!" Murong Xuewei sighed helplessly as she looked at her face in the mirror.

"Madam, perhaps you shouldn't go out today?"

"No, we have to get out."

Yesterday at Zuixianlou, I overheard Xiao Wanning and Xiao Sining going to the military camp every day. Xiao Sining is trying to seduce Gu Ye.

If I don't go today, what if the two of them don't go tomorrow?

"Is today's matter that important? Why does Madam insist on going?" Liuli asked, puzzled.

Murong Xuewei nodded vigorously, "Today. This matter is extremely important. If we don't go today, I'm afraid we won't have this opportunity again."

Liuli scratched her head, still quite puzzled, "But Madam's appearance today is something that even makeup can't hide!"

Murong Xuewei looked at herself in the mirror from side to side; such deep dark circles were indeed difficult to conceal.

Murong Xuewei's eyes fell on the rouge in the makeup box.

This rouge is a new product recently developed by the rouge shop; I haven't used it yet.

With a thought, Murong Xuewei sat down at the dressing table and began applying rouge.

A moment later, a radiant Murong Xuewei reappeared in front of Liuli.

Liuli looked at Murong Xuewei with great admiration, "Madam, you are amazing! You only used this one box of rouge to completely cover up your dark circles."
