Ren Loo took the fainted snake to Dr. Su answer. The doctor looked at the snake in perplexity and frowned. He felt the pulse on An Shu's neck.
"I had already treated his injuries, the blood deficiency isn't that bad..."
"Ah! But that could be it! He lost a lot of blood." Ren Loo agreed vehemently. (Now she's afraid to tell him that she proposed to boy and he felt bad about it).

“Uhm…” Su Ning muttered after seeing the snake’s pulse. "It wasn't such a serious loss... but you know, An Shu sometimes has this reaction when he gets a big shock, it happened a couple of times... was he scared?"
"No! We were talking outside! Just pleasantries!" Ren Loo assured excitedly. Qiang Yong laughed. "If it's pleasantries you were talking about, he must have had a qi deviation at the very least."

Ren Loo glared at his brother. Qiang Yong realized that this was the first time he had managed to reach her with her words. What was happening? Did she really scare him to death?
Su Ning was unconscious about this aspect, only transmitting energy to the snake. Soon, he began to move slightly.

"He'll wake up soon. Anyway two bowls of pork should be enough for him to wake up at once." He smiled sincerely, An Shu always woke up hungry after some commotion. The snake raised its head dazedly, looking around with a lost look. First he stopped at Su Ning, then at Qiang Yong, and finally at Ren Loo.

The snake's pupils dilated and everyone thought he was going to faint again, but An Shu assumed his human form again and bowing sharply to them he apologized, all red.
"PARDON! This lowly man behaved shamefully!!"
"Why are you being so formal?" Su Ning was surprised.

"It was really shameful." Qiang Yong teased him lightly. "Although it was all Ren Loo's fault."
The dragon kicked the Emperor's knee from behind in retaliation. Qiang Yong's sentence made An Shu think that Ren Loo had told everything before.
"It wasn't her fault! I just... was caught off guard. I never thought it would be possible for someone to be interested in me."
Su Ning and Qiang Yong ".................."

Oh! So it was all her fault! The emperor laughed, delighting in this crisis. Qiang Yong cast a sidelong glance at his sister, who turned her face away.
"If Madam Ren really... if she's not joking..." The snake stuttered pathetically. "I would be very happy to marry her." He poured out everything that was in his heart all at once.

Ren Loo's eyes shone and she broke into a huge smile, ignoring all of her brother's provocations. "Of course I'm not joking! How silly of you!"
Qiang Yong scratched his head with an amused smile on his face.
"What exactly did you propose to him?"
"What else would it be? I proposed!"

Su Ning widened his eyes, shocked. These two were indeed brothers! Going out like this, asking others to marry them at first sight!
Ren Loo addressed the doctor. "I hope the doctor doesn't mind, An Shu will continue to work together with you. I know he loves this job. Besides, I've seen almost everything in this world. I want to lead a more homely life now and educate Shyuo-er properly with a good father to him."

Su Ning was as dumbfounded as the snake before, but he would not be against this match at all.
"As long as you two are happy, I have nothing against it! Even if An Shu stopped working at the clinic, if he was happy, that's fine with me." He smiled. "My congratulations to you both."

Ren Loo smiled to herself. I would also like to congratulate him for the same reason, but my brother was so insecure! Either way, soon we will be one family!
Qiang Yong was lamenting precisely because of this. He should have heard what the doctor had to say at that moment before.

"I think now we have another reason to celebrate, have you told mom yet?" He questioned his sister.
"We'll tell you right now!" Ren Loo grabbed An Shu's hand and pulled him, dragging him towards the Empress Dowager.
Su Ning shook his head, laughing. Qiang Yong looked at him, admiring his young and cheerful face.
"I never thought these two were so close... An Shu is so shy."

"Perhaps that was precisely what attracted Ren Loo." The dragon commented. They were alone, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for him to speak out?? Su Ning was thoughtful, holding his elbows. An Shu and Ren Loo. What an unusual couple. Although he and Qiang Yong were more surprising than that. A human and a yao. He hasn't seen a romantic relationship like this in a long time.

He took a sip of the wine, thinking about what he should say.
"The emperor..."
"Yes?" Qiang Yong smiled lightly, his face was calm but his heart was galloping in his chest...
"You don't oppose their marriages, do you? I say because the snake clan and the dragon clan have always been rivals."

By Budha! I proposed to a human, how would I object to my sister marrying a snake???
"Obviously not. And even if I were against it, it's Ren Loo's life, I don't have to oppose anything."
Su Ning sighed, looking at the light-colored wine in his glass. "Qiang Yong, could you come to the clinic early tomorrow?"

Qiang Yong glanced at him.
"I can go. Everything is calm now." Except on my chest.
"I'll give you an answer then. I'll wait for you. I'm sorry I'm thinking so much, and there are just things I don't quite understand..."
The emperor swallowed his saliva. "That's why I gave you a longer deadline. Ren Loo probably realized that An Shu reciprocated his feelings."

It was as if Su Ning received a stab. The emperor gave him a deadline because he wasn't sure if he loved him??? The doctor felt very uncomfortable about this. He felt like he was stepping on the other's heart. He opened his mouth to speak but the Empress Dowager was happily calling them to have another glass of wine. She was so happy that she couldn't contain herself. Soon there would be two marriages in the family.

Qiang Yong got up to go to her and the bride and groom. Su Ning took a while to do the same, still processing the previous information. Finally, he stood up straight, biting his lip hard.
Why the hell am I still hesitating?
