"sister?"

Yuan Yu looked at Yuan Yi, who had taken the phone away, with a puzzled expression.

"Hello, I am Yuan Yi."

Her voice was soft, like a gardenia in full bloom in May or June, intoxicating people with its fragrance.

Lu Qingyun hummed in agreement, waiting for her to continue.

Yuan Yi pursed her lips. "This medicine is too precious. Miss Lu, you should take it back."

It's a bit awkward to reciprocate.

"It's nothing, just a few pills. I don't need them if you bring them back; they'll just go to waste."

It's rare for her to explain such a long sentence.

Upon hearing the word "waste," Yuan Yi frowned. "Do you have time? I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."

It seems they've decided to accept the medicine.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

After a few words, Lu Qingyun hung up the phone. She opened her WeChat new friends page and found that someone had been adding her.

Who is this person?

She doesn't remember giving her WeChat ID to anyone.

Besides Mr. Huang, whom we added after returning yesterday...

Wait, could it be that guy?

Lu Qingyun inexplicably felt a bad premonition.

Huang family.

"Why hasn't it been approved yet? Didn't you check your phone? That can't be right, who can live without their phone these days?"

Huang Weiqi lay on the bed, holding his phone, his eyes glued to the WeChat screen.

A few seconds later, he saw that Lu Qingyun had accepted his friend request and excitedly sat up in bed.

Huang Weiqi: [Sis, are you playing games today?]

Huang Weiqi: [Can you play with me? I'm not bad, I'm actually pretty good. You won't lose out if you play with me, really.]

Huang Weiqi: [Sister, sister, sister...]

Huang Weiqi: [Sister, sister!]

Huang Weiqi: [So pitiful]

Lu Qingyun's head was about to explode when she saw this information.

What are you yelling about? Who's your sister?

Huang Weiqi replied quickly: "Dad, can you play a game with me?"

Lu Qingyun: ...

This was truly the first time she had ever seen someone so shameless.

【Be serious.】

Huang Weiqi scratched his head, feeling he was being quite serious, but in front of the big boss, the big boss's words were law. He replied on his phone, "Miss Lu, I'd really like to play a game with you. If you refuse, there might be one more heartbroken person in the world, or they might lose their appetite and become thin..."

Lu Qingyun, why are you so dramatic?

[Shut up, I'm going to hit you.]

Huang Weiqi: [Okay.]

Huang Weiqi: [When do we start? I'm ready.]

When Lu Qingyun saw this message, for some reason, she felt as if she could see Huang Weiqi wagging his tail right in front of her.

She's probably possessed.

Lu Qingyun played two games with Huang Weiqi in the afternoon. After dinner, she had just finished studying a prescription when she received a call from overseas on her phone.

"Young Miss, the Ouyang family's medical books are circulating on the dark web."

The other party spoke respectfully and got straight to the point.

Tsk.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyun leaned back in her chair, looking somewhat nonchalant. She stretched out her long leg, and the slightest movement seemed to carry a chill. The other person couldn't help but rub their arms and dared not utter a sound.

"Who did it?"

"The other party claimed that the head of the family gave the medical book to his grandfather because he did not want to study medicine, so he wanted to put the medical book on the dark web to make money."

"Was it intercepted?"

“Our people arrived too late; the medical book had already been bought.”

"I see."

Lu Qingyun hummed in agreement, her voice becoming indifferent, "Keep an eye on it, and call if anything comes up."

"Yes."

The other party responded, and then Lu Qingyun hung up the phone.

She lightly tapped the table with her fair fingertips, her expression not looking too good.

-

night.

Gu Jinming returned late, and Tang Meng escorted him back to his room, deliberately keeping his footsteps quiet.

Because Lu Qingyun had fallen asleep on the sofa, she seemed to be waiting for Gu Jinming to come back. Her hair was still half-dry, and there was a magazine on her lap, with several pages already turned. It was now draped over her legs, looking like it was about to fall off.

"Go and get a blanket."

Gu Jinming lowered his voice slightly as well.

"Yes."

Tang Meng turned around to get the blanket.

Gu Jinming covered her with a thin blanket, and seeing that she was still unconscious, he waved to Tang Meng, "You can go out first."

"Yes, Master Jin."

After Tang Meng left, Gu Jinming intended to go wash up, but when he caught a glimpse of Lu Qingyun's half-wet hair, he stopped in his tracks.

He wheeled himself closer to Lu Qingyun, pinching the thin blanket between two fingers and pulling it down slightly. "Lu Qingyun."

Lu Qingyun didn't sleep well; the scenes in her dreams made her brows furrow tightly.

Blood, mutilated bodies, severed limbs, and a nauseating stench filled her nostrils.

"Qingqing, you must remember that Grandpa taught you this medical skill hoping you would save lives and heal the wounded. But everyone has selfishness, and Grandpa is no exception. I hope that while saving others is the priority, my Qingqing can protect herself first..."

"Young Miss, we swear to protect this family with our lives!"

"Lu Qingyun, so what if my grandfather values ​​you highly? In the end, I will still be the heir of this family. Don't even think about competing with me. You can't beat me."

"Lu Qingjun!"

"Get out! We don't acknowledge you!"

"Young Miss, we're waiting for you to come back..."

As those familiar faces appeared one after another before her eyes, Lu Qingyun felt as if her head was about to explode from the pain.

However, at that moment, it seemed as if a hand was approaching her. She suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed the person's wrist.

Gu Jinming was slightly taken aback.

The girl's eyes were icy cold, radiating a chilling aura when she was silent, and she stared intently at him.

They're quite strong.

He frowned slightly, and seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, Gu Jinming softened his voice a little.

"It's alright, Qingqing, let go."

Lu Qingyun was slightly out of breath, cold sweat pouring from her forehead. It took a long time for the chill in her eyes to dissipate.

"Feel sorry."

She came to her senses and loosened her grip on Gu Jinming's hand.

"Have a glass of water."

Gu Jinming poured her a glass of warm water and handed her a tissue. "Did you have a nightmare? You're sweating a lot."

He was just trying to wipe Lu Qingyun's sweat.

Lu Qingyun finished the water in her cup, took a tissue and casually wiped her forehead a couple of times. The tissue was soaked with sweat, and some of the water-soaked bits of tissue stuck to the downy fibers.

She nodded vaguely.

Seeing that she was feeling a little better, Gu Jinming held up the towel in his hand and said, "Sit over here a bit, I'll dry your hair for you."

Lu Qingyun responded with an "oh," then sat closer to him while holding her cup, and even turned around to cooperate.

Gu Jinming plugged in the hairdryer and started drying her hair.

The faint fragrance emanating from the girl lingered in my nostrils, and my heart was beating as fast as it had been yesterday.

After drying her hair, Lu Qingyun felt much more awake. She got up from the sofa and casually asked, "Did you just get back?"

Gu Jinming hummed in agreement and wheeled himself to the restroom.

Lu Qingyun stared at his back for a few seconds until the bathroom door closed before slowly turning her gaze away.

A message arrived on my phone at that moment.
