Wanwan: 【Don’t worry, definitely not. It’s just touching the leg.】
Shi Liaoliao usually avoided seeing doctors. She had originally planned to just treat herself with the first aid kit and be done with it, but she never expected Lu Yanzhou to quietly call a doctor over.
The late-night drama from CEO novels where a doctor rushes over to treat the female lead actually ended up being something she, an NPC, got to experience.
“It’s just a simple flesh wound. Rest for a few days and it’ll heal. Be careful not to get it wet these next few days, and avoid spicy foods.”
After cleaning it with saline solution, he applied a dressing to Shi Liaoliao’s wound.
“All done.”
Shi Liaoliao said softly, “Thank you for your trouble.”
The doctor glanced at Shi Liaoliao, who looked a bit disheveled, silently packed up his things, and suddenly spoke up, “Remember to report tonight’s incident to the head of the family.”
Then he turned and left.
Shi Liaoliao’s gaze froze.
Was he also one of Lu Tingfeng’s people??
Honestly, she felt suffocated on Lu Yanzhou’s behalf.
Wanwan jumped onto her leg and said uneasily, 【Host, are you going to report this to Lu Tingfeng’s secretary?】
Shi Liaoliao thought about it.
【I’ll go ask Lu Yanzhou later. He’s the male lead, so he’s definitely better than his father. Looks like I’ll have to stay by his side for a long time from now on, so I should show some sincerity.】
Wanwan raised a finger: 【Good job】
Shi Liaoliao went back to her room to change clothes, cleaned herself up briefly with a towel, and then knocked on Lu Yanzhou’s door.
She had timed it perfectly, but she never expected Lu Yanzhou, a grown man, to take longer in the shower than she did. When he opened the door for her, he was only wearing a towel around his waist, with his upper body bare and his hair still wet.
【Wow, Yanzhou! You’ve got quite the figure~】
Today, she finally understood what “looks slim in clothes but has a great body underneath” meant.
Lu Yanzhou’s skin was almost pale, but his muscles were anything but lacking. His bare upper chest was well-defined, yet his waist was slender, with clear and distinct abdominal muscles. Even the area hidden by the towel…
Lu Yanzhou held a towel in one hand, drying his hair. He still carried the lingering warmth and the scent of shower gel. His tea-brown eyes fell on Shi Liaoliao’s leg as he asked, “What did the doctor say?”
She replied calmly, “The doctor said it’s just a superficial wound and will heal quickly.”
【The doctor said I’m destined to have insomnia tonight and suggested I sleep on those eight-pack abs.】
Lu Yanzhou paused his drying motion. A drop of water from his bangs fell onto the small mole at the corner of his eye, then slid down his cheek. After a moment, he nodded as if nothing had happened.
Little did Shi Liaoliao know that at this very moment tonight, her employer, Young Master Lu, had officially diagnosed her as gay.
At that moment, she stood in the hallway, turning her head in confusion toward Lu Yanzhou’s room, wondering why he had locked the door. It wasn’t like she would sneak into his room in the middle of the night, stand by his bed, and fart at him.
Wanwan: 【】
In this life, the host was destined to never escape the scatological and vulgar stuff.
…
After Shi Liaoliao left, Lu Yanzhou opened the wardrobe to get his pajamas and noticed several sets were missing. Only then did he remember that Yang Qingzhou had taken several sets from him for his scatterbrained cousin.
Lu Yanzhou immediately sent Shi Liaoliao a message, asking her to order a few more sets for him tomorrow and forwarding her the number of the store he frequented.
Just after sending it, Yang Qingzhou, whose contact name had already been changed to “Pants Guy,” called instantly.
“Hello.”
Yang Qingzhou’s voice blared out: “I just remembered, I still haven’t asked why your manservant called me ‘pants’!?”
Lu Yanzhou walked over to the rocking chair by the window and sat down, sweeping all his bangs back with one hand to reveal his full forehead, then draping a towel over it.
“You called just to say that?”
Yang Qingzhou: “Of course not. Alright, actually, I wanted to say that this matter probably wasn’t done by those three idiots. They wouldn’t dare offend you.”
Lu Yanzhou propped his head up, the small lamp on the desk casting a dim yellow glow on half his face: “I know.”
Knowing Lu Yanzhou had it under control, Yang Qingzhou felt relieved, his voice immediately turning worried: “Those people your father left by your side, aren’t you planning to deal with them yet?”
“Of course, including that Shi Liaoliao.”
Lu Yanzhou also said: “No rush.”
He still needed an opportunity.
Truly, the emperor isn’t anxious, but the eunuch is dying of worry.
Not wanting to be the eunuch, Yang Qingzhou simply stopped asking.
“So! Why call me pants!? If you don’t tell me tonight, I’ll make your little manservant stand by your bedside in the middle of the night to scare you!”
For someone he usually found crude, Lu Yanzhou suddenly decided to be nicer to him in the future.
After all, his mind could only be malicious to this extent.
If it were Shi Liaoliao, it would probably be something like ‘stand by your bedside in the middle of the night and fart at you’ or something similar.
“Because you have a big face.”
Thinking of Shi Liaoliao, his tone clearly became more dismissive toward Yang Qingzhou.
The latter: ?
What does that have to do with my face!?
“What do you know!? That’s not having a big face, my mom says it’s called being broad-minded!”
Lu Yanzhou teased him: “Your mom lied to you.”
…
Meanwhile, Shi Liaoliao received the message and replied with “Okay,” then hesitated in the chat window for a long time before finally editing a long paragraph and sending it.
Steal Your Underpants to Sell: Young master, do you need me to report tonight’s incident in detail to the head of the family?
After waiting a long time without a reply, Shi Liaoliao added: The doctor earlier seemed to be someone sent by the head of the family.
Lu Yanzhou still showed no sign of movement.
Asleep?
Impossible, his hair isn’t even dry yet. What brand of hairdryer works that fast.
Wanwan: [Off topic, my friend]
Shi Liaoliao felt a bit uneasy, thinking Lu Yanzhou might not trust her.
She stood up, made sure her chest binder was secure, checked herself in the mirror, then barefoot, quietly opened the door and headed toward Lu Yanzhou’s room.
Standing outside the door, she crouched down, pressed her ear against the door panel, and listened intently.
With Saint Dun Academy’s centuries-old history, even though the dormitory building had been renovated several times, the soundproofing still wasn’t great.
So she easily heard what was coming from inside the room…
A man… crying??
Yang Qingzhou, unable to out-argue Lu Yanzhou, began performing a dramatic tough-guy cry: “Wah wah wah, you can’t treat me like this wah wah wah wah wah wah.”
“You weren’t like this when we were little. Where’s the person who used to sit on the bed and say even my nostrils were beautiful?”
Lu Yanzhou’s eyes were filled with deep helplessness, but his voice was cold and ruthless: “You know what you did.”
“What I said was, if you dare pee on my bed again, I’ll stuff you into a horse’s nostril.”
Shi Liaoliao, eavesdropping outside the door, was shocked by the fragmented words she caught!
What bed, what doing, who peed??
Wanwan: [………] You damn well have to phrase it like that, don’t you.
But still…
[“It seems… it’s a man on the other side…” Wanwan said with a complicated tone.
Shi Liaoliao was so shocked by the sheer amount of information in those words that her cerebellum seemed to shrink.
She took a small step back.
Perhaps because it had rubbed against her body, the bundle of glow sticks she had just retied suddenly slipped from her leg, sliding down her pant leg.
Thud—it fell onto the corridor floor, the sound echoing clearly in the silent hallway.
Inside the room, Lu Yanzhou immediately fell silent, swiftly moving toward the door and pushing it open with force—]
