He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

Back at his residence, Lu Baiyu's poison suddenly took effect, and Yu Ming quickly brought him the medicine that Lu Baiyu always kept on hand. After the poison subsided, he finally fell asleep.

Qu Yi instructed Yu Ming to take Lu Baiyu to bathe.

Yu Ming glanced at their clasped hands: "Miss, this..."

Qu Yi then remembered that they were still holding hands, so she quickly let go. But as soon as she moved, Lu Baiyu, who had fallen asleep, frowned and tightened his grip even more.

It can't be pulled out, nor can it be torn apart.

"Alright, fetch a basin of water."

"Yes."

Qu Yi sat on the edge of the bed, while Yu Ming undid Lu Baiyu's clothes and simply wiped his upper body.

Lower body...

This seems inconvenient at this time.

When Lu Baiyu woke up, he found Qu Yi asleep by the bedside. He gently carried her to bed.

He was still thinking that Qu Yi's martial arts skills were not bad, and he might wake up.

To his surprise, she didn't react at all. She snuggled closer to him, shifted into a more comfortable position, and continued sleeping.

He had never seen a senior sister like this before, and his heart melted instantly. He stared at her without blinking, and finally couldn't resist kissing her forehead.

"Senior sister, let's not be angry anymore, okay?"

"Is it okay if it's the same as before?"

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

He talked to himself for a while before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

However, just as he fell asleep, the person in his arms, who seemed to be asleep, opened their eyes again, their own mutterings echoing in their mind, a hint of helplessness flashing in their eyes.

childish.

"Sister..."

Lu Baiyu muttered something under his breath and reached out to touch the spot next to him; it was ice cold.

"Senior sister!" He suddenly opened his eyes.

He sat up and looked around in a panic.

"Master, you're awake?"

Yu Ming walked in carrying a basin of water.

Lu Baiyu quickly asked, "Where is the young lady?"

Yu Ming: "Miss is waiting for you to have breakfast."

Lu Baiyu couldn't wait to get out of bed, wash up, and rush to Zhuqing Pavilion.

My senior sister loves to eat there.

"Senior sister!"

He shouted, feeling extremely happy, his heart pounding.

Qu Yi looked up at him and replied calmly, "Yes, sit down."

Lu Baiyu immediately deflated: "Is Senior Sister unhappy?"

Qu Yi: "Your poisoning flared up yesterday, so you shouldn't eat anything spicy or heavy today. Just have some congee and side dishes."

Lu Baiyu: "Senior sister, I didn't see you just now, I thought you had left..."

Qu Yi: "Eat."

She handed him the chopsticks.

Lu Baiyu didn't answer, but stared straight at her: "Why won't you answer me, Senior Sister?"

After a moment of silence, Qu Yi asked, "What do you want me to say?"

"Does Senior Sister not like me?" Lu Baiyu asked the question with almost a desperate gamble.

"No, you're my junior brother, how could I not like you?"

This answer is worse than no answer at all.

Lu Baiyu was furious; if he were an animal, he would have been furious.

"I'm not your junior brother!"

"...Your master is going to expel you from the sect?"

"You know perfectly well that's not what I meant," Lu Baiyu said weakly.

He was truly at his wit's end with her.

"last night……"

"what happened?"

Lu Baiyu's ear tips turned red. His skin was already fair, but now it was flushed with red, making him look extremely handsome. It wouldn't be appropriate to describe a man as just "pretty," but his features were exquisitely delicate. When he showed the shyness of a young boy, he was simply stunning.

“Stretch out your hand,” Qu Yi said.

Lu Baiyu obediently reached out, bent two fingers together and pressed them on his wrist, carefully feeling his pulse.

"My internal energy has stabilized considerably; I must not be so reckless next time."

As he was about to withdraw his hand, Lu Baiyu grabbed it.

"Senior sister!"

Seeing Qu Yi's puzzled expression, he parted his thin lips slightly: "Last night... I was very happy."

"I like to sleep while hugging my senior sister."

"Is today okay too?"

Yu Ming coughed heavily twice nearby, as if he had choked on water.

Qu Yi withdrew her hand, saying, "You're still young."

Get up and leave.

Lu Baiyu was stunned for a moment, then happily chased after her and took her hand again.

"I'm not young, really!"

"And my health is actually quite good, not as weak as you think."
