I have a high-risk profession in the cultivation world.

Chu Chenmu took a couple of sips of water and casually put the cup down. He had already accepted the fact that Luo Suichen was a deadbeat straight man.

It's not surprising. Most male protagonists in novels have some kind of mysophobia; they'd kill anyone who even touched their clothes. He just touched Luo Suichen's hand, and who knows what the book would describe: 'Luo Suichen was touched by the person in front of him. Although he knew it wasn't intentional, he still couldn't suppress his physical disgust, quickly pulled his hand back, and then made an excuse to call for help, secretly washing his hands eight hundred times.'

He recalled the original plot, which did not mention Luo Suichen's mysophobia, but described him as unapproachable and having a gloomy and eccentric personality, with no one able to get close to him except for the female lead, Mo Qiluo.

I understand now, it all makes sense.

It's the same old trope: the protagonist is a germaphobe but only shows affection to the female lead. It's so outdated.

It seems I should stay away from that brat Luo Suichen from now on.

But then again, I'm a straight man, and I don't react as strongly as he does. How dare he complain about me? Pshaw!

"Master!"

"Master!!!"

Tian Yige and Su Chengdian rushed in quickly. Tian Yige, her eyes red, knelt by the bedside. "Master, you have been asleep for almost two days. It is because my cultivation is too low that I cannot help you."

Listening to Tian Yige and Su Chengdian's concerned words, Chu Chenmu felt a surge of emotion. He knew that people in this world cared about him; that was truly wonderful.

Then he laughed at himself for being too dramatic.

Chu Chenmu talked for a while and learned from the two that Luo Suichen had been taking care of him during the time he was unconscious, including applying medicine and changing dressings without relying on anyone else, and even... changing his clothes.

Hmm, this doesn't quite match his earlier guess about mysophobia.

This person is even more uninhibited than I am.

Chu Chenmu: ?(。ヘ°)

Chu Chenmu didn't talk for too long. He was still not used to being constantly cared for, so he told the two of them to go back and rest. He needed to meditate and recuperate. Now that he was awake, he could heal himself.

The two left obediently, considerately closing the door behind them. Just as Chu Chenmu was about to enter meditation, he smelled the aroma of food.

While the three were talking, Luo Suichen went downstairs and called the waiter to prepare a simple meal. He knew that although Chu Chenmu hadn't said anything, he definitely wanted to eat.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered, she saw Chu Chenmu's expectant eyes quickly scanning the tray in her hands, then she reservedly looked away, but her satisfaction was even greater.

Pshaw, what a show-off.

But her mouth still cooperated with Chu Chenmu, obediently urging him to eat, "Master, would you like some?"

Chu Chenmu opened his mouth. The original owner's character wasn't one to indulge in gluttony. He usually had various excuses for eating delicious food, but now that it was just him and Luo Suichen here, what excuse could he come up with?

Seeing the other party's expression, Luo Suichen knew exactly what was going on. With a half-smile, he pressed his advantage, "Suichen's cultivation is still shallow, and I don't like to eat fasting pills. I'm hungry now, so I asked for some food. But I don't have my own room, so I can only bother Master."

"If Master doesn't mind, please come and have some with us, just to keep Suichen company."

He doesn't mind, of course he doesn't mind.

With a perfect excuse being offered to him, Chu Chenmu took a deep breath, assumed a proper posture, and sat down next to Luo Suichen. He spoke grandly, saying things that neither of them believed, and prepared to feast.

In her heart, she was still giving Luo Suichen a shout-out, "That kid Luo Suichen is great, his tastes are similar to mine, he ordered all the things I like to eat."

But as soon as he raised his hand, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. Oh right, he had just suffered a penetrating wound in his right shoulder.

Chu Chenmu hissed, a thin layer of sweat instantly forming on his forehead, and he quickly lowered his raised arm. Luckily, he remembered the original owner's character and didn't cry out despite the pain. This was terrible! The one who could endure pain was Venerable Xuanxiao, not Chu Chenmu!

Luo Suichen unconsciously tightened his grip on the chopsticks in his hand.

"Master, how about..." How about I reluctantly help you pick up some food?
