Chapter 231: Sweet nothings, so not domineering

Long Feiye and Han Yunxi had come to a tacit understanding about what they did just then, so both of them were feeling awkward. When Tang Li asked his question, the atmosphere turned even stranger. Of course, the reticent Long Feiye wouldn't answer such a question. Meanwhile, Han Yunxi kept her head bowed as she expressionlessly treated his poison, pretending that she hadn't heard a thing.

Tang Li stroked his jaw as he glanced at them before he seemed to get a clue. He chuckled softly and didn't say a thing. Though he'd shut his mouth now, his words had already caused a wave that couldn't be stopped. Long Feiye's state of mind was unclear, but Han Yunxi's heart was long doing flip-flops in chaos.

Why did he fool around with her? Because he had nothing else to do? Because of boredom? Or was he just in a good mood today?

Even if that was the case, there was no need to act this way! In Han Yunxi's memories–in fact, in everyone's memory–Tianning's Duke of Qin was nothing if not cold. Forget about jokes or fooling around, he didn't even know how to smile. Or perhaps this was an aspect of Long Feiye rarely known to anyone, and she'd just never realized it? In any case, Han Yunxi couldn't find a reason. As she lost herself in thought, her attention slipped while treating him with the needles. Suddenly, Long Feiye's hand shook as fresh blood poured from his wound.

"Ah...!" It wasn't Long Feiye, but Han Yunxi who cried out in alarm. She'd stuck the needle in the wrong acupoint!

"Sorry about that, I know it hurts a lot..."

A misstep in acupoints was more painful than a knife cutting away at the heart. The agony was nearly unbearable. As a doctor herself, Han Yunxi knew this very well.

"I didn't mean to. I know it hurts a lot, but...but it'll be better soon. Just endure it for a while."

She'd always been self-confident in her skills at expelling poisons via needles. This had to be her most flustered performance in both lives, right? It was nothing like a doctor at all. Bracing herself, she looked over and happened to meet Long Feiye looking right back. He didn't say it hurt, much less blame her. All he did was look at her coldly before turning his head aside. From this angle, one could tell he was creasing his eyebrows on that handsome face. The pain had to be substantial for him to make such an expression. Truly, Han Yunxi was plagued with a guilty conscience. She didn't know what to say to his coldness, but only continued to treat him. Soon enough, though, her attention wandered again.

Should she interrogate him?

'Long Feiye, was it fun to fool around with me?'

'Long Feiye, serves you right for getting bitten!'

'Long Feiye, you're already this old. Aren't you tired of things like this?'

'Long Feiye, you have to apologize or else I won't treat your poison!'

......

All sorts of bold questions swirled around in her head. If this was any other time, she'd still have the guts to question him, but this time was too awkward. As soon as she recalled Long Feiye 'fooling around' with her just then, she didn't dare to ask. In fact, she didn't even want to meet his eyes.

She really was stuck!

In the midst of her conflicted thoughts, Han Yunxi missed an acupoint again. This time, it wasn't red blood that poured out, but the black blood that stopped flowing. She actually didn't notice until Tang Li spoke up. "Did you get rid of all the poisoned blood so soon?"
