However, it was too late for the injuries outbreak. She had no enough time to get the medicine from Jiuxing clan as she needed to go to the Dark Forest the next morning.
It seems like she needed to bear the pain in the Dark Forest.
She tried to initiate her internal force as she realized that the injuries did not actually affect her performance, however, she did feel the pain. It should be fine to bear with it until she escapes the Dark Forest.
She then meditated for a while and when she opened her eyes, it was already three o'clock in the morning!!
She needed to wake up and get ready at five o'clock! She decided to take a short nap. Initially, she thought she would not be able to sleep but she was wrong.
Suddenly, she smelled a familiar mild fragrance, interrupting her trail of emotions. She sensed that there was another person in the house; she tried to open her eyes to look but failed. No matter how hard she tried, she could not lift her eyelids up and soon fell asleep.
After all, she used to be an assassin. She was always half awake when she slept. In her dream, she could feel someone trying to carry her and her jaw was being forced to open. That person stuffed a bitter pill into her mouth.
She was alert even in her dreams. Subconsciously, she wanted to regurgitate but that person pressed her mouth shut to force the pill down her throat.
Bastard!
She cursed in her dream and wanted to dig out the pill.
She could hear a light laughter in her dream, which somewhat disgusted her, "Sweetheart, are you afraid of me poisoning you? Here, drink this!"
Her hands were locked and a solution dripped into her mouth.
Naturally, she wanted to puke but she could feel a soft and warm object pressing onto her lips and she was forced to swallow the solution.
She immediately felt a burning sensation in her stomach and her abdomen became even more painful. Even her chest was throbbing with pain...
She was in severe pain to the extent she needed to curl her body. However, someone was pressing against her and she was not able to do so.
"Be patient." A gentle voice whispered into her ear.
The scene was very familiar - Gu Xijiu thought she was having a nightmare and could not wake up.
Eventually, she fell asleep.
In her dream, she had returned to the modern world. She walked into a tea room...
In the tea room, there was a young man drinking tea. He had a pair of nice eyebrows and eyes. He looked charming and the scene was as beautiful as a painting.
"Sir Long Xi." She smiled and sat down in front of him. She was going to drink the tea he made for her but he suddenly held her hand, "Gosh! You’re injured!"
Gu Xijiu was stunned for short while, "I’m fine, don’t worry."
Long Xi twitched his lips and walked over, "Where’s the wound? Let me have a look."
"I’m fine, it’s really just a minor injury." Her injury was below the ribs, so it was not that appropriate to show other people, "I’ve checked just now, I’m fine."
Long Xi looked at her, "I’m a doctor, don’t be afraid! You don’t look good; it must be a serious injury. Let me have a look. Based on your posture, your injury must be just below your right ribs?"
She sighed, "I can never hide anything from you indeed…" She obediently removed her top and showed him the wound.
Long Xi was shocked, "Look at this! Your ribs are cracked! I know you’re just putting up a brave front, but the pain will linger forever if you don’t get it treated properly."
He used his fingers to soothe her skin and adjusted her bones as he talked to her.
The bone correction would cause extreme pain, yet she still makes fun of him even when she was sweating, "Sir Long, I'd need to marry you if this was back in the ancient era. Since you've seen my body, you need to marry me though."
Long Xi did not express anything, "Luckily, we're in the modern world, so you don’t have to do that."
Gu Xijiu whispered, "Oh how I wish this is the ancient world…" Long Xi could not hear her clearly. "What were you mumbling?"
"Huh? No, nothing."
The tea room was very silent.
Gu Xijiu could not wait to escape from the awkward ambiance, "Sir Long, this looks different from the usual treatment huh? Could you teach me?"
"No, I don’t think it’s necessary."
"Why? I can treat myself if I have similar injuries in the future right?" Gu Xijiu did not comprehend and made fun of him again, "Are you planning to keep it all to yourself?"
"You wouldn’t experience any similar injuries, so it would be unnecessary."
"It’s hard to tell, I still have many more missions in the future."
"Xijiu, you'll just have to rest properly." Long Xi took his jacket and after treating her injury he said, "Let’s go, I’ll take you home. Don’t go anywhere within a month and have a good rest."
"Huh?! A month?" Are they going to approve my long leave? Gu Xijiu frowned.
"Of course! Your job is to rest sufficiently and get well soon, nothing more!" Long Xi said firmly.
She smiled as she felt a warmth in her heart. She leaned her head on his shoulder and joked, "Sir Long, I think you might have feelings for me since you’re so being so caring towards me."
Long Xi was speechless.
He drove her home. All the way, she was well taken care of as though she was a porcelain doll.
That day, he stayed in her house and had prepared a big meal for Gu Xijiu.
Due to lack of experience, his cooking was quite poor in quality. The dishes were not delicious, the steamed eggs had been over steamed, the vegetables were too salty but she liked it very much. However, he was thinking of something else when he accompanied her. Occasionally, he was idling while he watched her eating.
Gu Xijiu found his actions strange and asked him with a smile, "Why are you looking at me? Is there a nice flower on my face?"
Long Xi laughed and then shook his head as he smiled. He made fun of her, "There’s no flower on your face, but your face is much nicer compared to a flower."
Gu Xijiu felt her face turning red, as that was the first time he complimented her.
She frowned and said, "Since I’m so pretty, why don’t you marry me?"
This time, Long Xi did not complain but said something strange after pondering, "Xijiu, give me some time."
"Huh?" She did not understand.
He did not explain any further but pat her head, "Come and see me after a month, I’ll help you check." He then left her house.
"Long Xi…" She watched him leave and disappeared from her sight. She mumbled, "I like you, but I'm not sure how you feel…"
She did not continue the rest of the sentence as she felt a sudden pain, as though someone had pressed on her injury accidentally!
She was sweating, and everything turned into a dark space. She seemed to be waking up soon and tried to open her eyes. However, she felt her body sinking into a dark hole.
Suddenly, she heard a soft voice asking her, "You like Long Xi? Or Long Siye?"
She was sad despite it being only nothing but a dream. She answered in a blurry state but she could not remember anything.
The voice asked her again, "What do you like about him? I think I’m better…"
