In the novel "Joy of Life," the protagonist wakes up at Li Chengze's residence.

At this moment, Li Chengze was kneeling on the ground, with a woman lying in his arms who had "committed suicide by poison".

He wiped the blood from Tao Jingyang's mouth with his hand, his eyes fixed on her face, waiting for her to wake up.

Li Chengze thought: [Will I wake up? I hope I will.]

At this moment, Xie Bi'an also dragged Doctor Li over, both of them with a thin layer of sweat on their faces.

Tao Jingyang was still unconscious. When Li Chengze saw Doctor Li, his eyes lit up. "Doctor Li, she has taken the antidote, but she is still not awake."

After entering the room, Dr. Li kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, focusing solely on the patient who needed his life-saving treatment.

He took Tao Jingyang's pulse, then cupped his hands and said, "The poison has been neutralized, and there will be no further problems."

Although the poison has been neutralized, the damage to the body is real, so careful recuperation is still needed. Your Highness, I'll open a...

Before Dr. Li could finish speaking, Tao Jingyang slowly woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Li Chengze's concerned gaze.

After sensing the atmosphere inside the room, Xie Bi'an quietly led Doctor Li out.

"Dr. Li, the accountant will deliver the consultation fee to your residence later."

Dr. Li listened without asking any more questions, cupped his hands in greeting, and left.

"Phew... I almost went to the underworld..." Tao Jingyang, now alive, sat up and let out a long sigh of relief.

Li Chengze, who was sitting on the ground with her, stared at her without saying a word.

But in the end, he gave in and asked, "Why...did you take poison just now?"

"These are for body training. I heard that Fan Xian trained like this. These are all specially made poisons. If you can fight poison with poison, take it slowly, and eat more of them, your body will become immune to the poisons."

I asked Fan Xian for these, thinking I'd let you try them too.

"It wasn't my idea to try it first; if you hadn't been holding me back so tightly, I would have taken the antidote already."

Tao Jingyang wiped the blood with his sleeve, and Li Chengze, who was standing next to him, handed him his handkerchief at the right moment.

I didn't know there was an antidote inside.

"It's my fault." Li Chengze bent his leg, put his arm on the raised leg, lowered his head, and spoke in a muffled voice.

Tao Jing took the handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth. The blood had congealed somewhat, so it wasn't completely clean.

So she stood up first and extended her hand to Li Chengze: "Who's blaming you? It's also my fault for making such a fuss so early in the morning."

After saying that, he put away all the bottles and jars on the table. He told Li Chengze that the medicine was quite strong and that he would feel unwell after taking it, so he should not take it haphazardly.

"Then leave them with me for now." Li Chengze took the items.

Tao Jingyang didn't think too much about it, but once again told him not to eat it secretly, and that there was no rush to train his body.

Li Chengze did not answer her question, but turned around and asked Tao Jingyang, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere right now?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Jingyang felt his meridians circulate throughout his body, carefully sensing them. He then confidently replied to Li Chengze, "It seems to hurt a little, but it's nothing serious."

Then he sat down and tried to pick up the now-cold porridge to take a sip, but Li Chengze snatched it away.

"...Don't worry, something hot will be brought over soon."

Tao Jingyang's hand, which was raised in mid-air, was caught by Li Chengze before she could lower it. He used the water he had just fetched to wet a handkerchief and carefully wiped away the blood that had just gotten on her hands.

The atmosphere seemed quite unusual.

"Don't do that again. You scared me just now." Li Chengze's eyelashes trembled.

Tao Jingyang himself felt a little embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, and replied, "Um... I understand."
