Chapter 70.2 Eighth Kiss

This was the first time she’d openly kissed Yu Yuan.

Initially, the teenager was momentarily stunned, then he fiercely responded to the kiss, as if in ecstasy.

At this moment, it seemed like the world contained only these two intimate people.

Whatever bullsh*t replenishing lifespan and plot had all been forgotten.

Yan Mu clearly realized that—— This kiss wasn’t for replenishing lifespan.

She kissed Yu Yuan because she liked him.

This kiss was different from any of the previous kisses.

Their hot breaths intertwined, and Yan Mu quietly opened her eyes.

But no matter how Yan Mu asked, Yu Yuan refused to say exactly what the method was.

Yan Mu couldn’t do anything about it.

However, a few days later, she learned what method Yu Yuan used.

When Yan Mu saw Yu Yuan covered in blood, she was lost in a daze.

Right now, Yu Yuan had already fallen into a coma, and Ah Bu and Qi Er had brought him here.

“I’m sorry, Miss Yan. Your place is the closest, so we’ll take care of some of his wounds here first,” Ah Bu said with an apologetic smile.

Seeing Yu Yuan covered in blood, Yan Mu could barely stand upright.

She nodded while crying.

In the end, Yu Yuan was arranged in Yan Mu’s side room.

Yan Mu was driven out to the courtyard.

Because Yu Yuan’s wounds need to be cleaned and stitched up, the scene would be too bloody, so Ah Bu and Qi Er didn’t dare to let her watch.

She could only stand in the courtyard and worry helplessly.

Yu Yuan had always been a careful person.

Yan Mu had never seen him suffer such a serious injury.

The time she spent waiting seemed to stretch out forever, but also pass by in just a moment.

The fragrance of the osmanthus tree and the beautiful chrysanthemums seemed to disappear, and all Yan Mu could see was Yu Yuan, covered in blood.

It wasn’t until the sky was slightly dark that the imperial physician came out with his hands bloodied.

Yan Mu hurriedly rushed forward.

“He’s okay, he’s okay, his condition is no longer life-threatening.” The imperial physician’s beard was grey. He let out a long sigh of relief and said, “He just needs to recuperate well these next few days.”

Yan Mu nodded and rushed in to see Yu Yuan.

The teenager was quietly lying on the bed, and seemed like he would shatter with just a touch.

His glowing complexion, which had been pain-stakingly nourished, had disappeared, and Yu Yuan’s face was even paler than before.

Seeing Yan Mu come in, Qi Er and Ah Bu briefly informed her about what had happened.

Roughly summing it up, while Yu Yuan and Chu Cong were patrolling the shops, there was an assassination attempt on Chu Cong’s life by the Eldest Prince’s people.

Yu Yuan had bravely killed the enemies, and the assassins failed, but he’d suffered a serious injury and almost died.

Because Yan Mu’s bookstore was closest to the crime scene, they’d sent him here for emergency treatment.

The two of them said a few more words of concern, then hurried back to report to Chu Cong.

Yan Mu took out a handkerchief, sat by the bed, and carefully wiped the beads of sweat on Yu Yuan’s forehead.

Yu Yuan had a low fever.

There were no fever patches in this era, so Yan Mu wet the handkerchief and placed it on his forehead. When it was warm, she would change it to another cool one.

Yu Yuan’s whole body was burning from the fever, his beautiful lips had lost their color, and they were also dry and peeling.

At the sight of it, Yan Mu took a new handkerchief, dipped it in drinking water, and carefully wiped his lips.

Ah Yu was watching the stove which was boiling the medicine in the courtyard. 

Yu Yuan was unconscious for a long time.

Fortunately, Yan Mu was still vigorous, because she had replenished her lifespan not long ago.

Yan Mu stayed by Yu Yuan’s side all night without sleeping. It wasn’t until the next morning that Yu Yuan’s hand moved slightly.

Yan Mu forced herself to stay awake and gently called out the teenager’s name.

The teenager’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and under Yan Mu’s expectant gaze, he finally opened his eyes.

“Ah Mu……I’m sorry for letting you worry.” That was Yu Yuan’s first sentence.

His voice was hoarse, and his face still looked exhausted.

But his eyes towards Yan Mu were still gentle and affectionate.

Yan Mu burst into tears at once.

“Tell me honestly, is the assassination this time your own arrangement?” Yan Mu covered her mouth, choking with sobs.

“Yes,” the teenager replied without the slightest hesitation.

It was obviously such an important and secret matter, and he’d certainly lose his head if other people knew about it.

But Yu Yuan didn’t hesitate and told her everything very frankly.

Yan Mu was both worried and angry.

“How could you do this? What if those people were careless and really killed you?” Yan Mu asked worriedly.

“Did Ah Mu forget? I have medical expertise,” Yu Yuan’s mouth curved into a faint smile.

As the saying goes, more skills won’t weigh you down²It’s beneficial to have/learn more skills..

Chu Cong really didn’t know about him having medical knowledge.

Yu Yuan didn’t plan to let him know in the future either.

“Initially, I wanted the sword to stab an inch away from my heart.” The teenager looked calm, as if he wasn’t talking about something as important as his own life, but what to eat tonight.

Yan Mu was suddenly nervous.

“But I thought that if I’m really that badly injured, you would be really worried,” Yu Yuan softly said, “So, my injury is somewhere else.”

“You……” Yan Mu was speechless.

“Look, am I not fine now?” Yu Yuan comforted.

“You’re not allowed to do this kind of thing again,” After a moment of silence, Yan Mu finally spoke.

“Alright, I’ll definitely not let Ah Mu be so worried next time.”

Coincidentally, Ah Yu brought in the freshly boiled medicine.

Yan Mu hurriedly fed it to Yu Yuan.

Seeing Yu Yuan covered in blood, Ah Yu was both so sad and worried that he hid in his room to cry.

Yan Mu had no time to care about Ah Yu right now because Yu Yuan, who’d never been afraid of pain, was refusing to drink the medicine like a child.

“So bitter.” Yu Yuan’s good-looking brows were furrowed.

“I put jiji fruit in it, how can it be bitter?” Yan Mu frowned.

“It’s really bitter,” the teenager’s face was all crumpled. “Try it yourself if you don’t believe me.”

At his words, Yan Mu lowered her head, about to drink the medicine from the spoon.

A hint of slyness flashed past Yu Yuan’s eyes, and he quickly approached the young girl’s lips.

As their lips and teeth intertwined, the sweet and fragrant taste of Jiji fruit spread in their mouth.

The teenager’s low fever hadn’t gone down yet, and his breath was still hot.

But by the time Yan Mu was let go, her face was already as hot as his.

Yu Yuan and Yan Mu’s foreheads were against each other’s, and their breaths intermingled.

Yu Yuan suddenly laughed heartily.

Yan Mu was still angry inside, so she covered his mouth with her hand, but the teenager pulled it down and kissed her palm.

“You lied again!” Yan Mu gestured threateningly like a kitten.

“I didn’t lie to you.” Yu Yuan said seriously, “It tastes sweet after Ah Mu’s kiss.”

“I won’t believe you anymore if you do this again!” Yan Mu was worried about Yu Yuan’s injury, so she could only scold him with her mouth. 

“It’s all my fault.” After speaking, Yu Yuan kissed her again.

Their lips and teeth intensely entangled each other once again, and Yan Mu was dizzy and disoriented from the kiss. 

He can still steal kisses, it seems like his injuries aren’t that serious after all.

Yan Mu inwardly criticized.
