On the way back, Su Ning bought many trinkets and had some snacks with Yue Zijin outside. They didn't return to the inn until it was getting dark.

As they approached the Peach Blossom River, Su Ning suddenly noticed a painted boat appearing on the river. Unfortunately, the boat was unlit, making it difficult to see its exact appearance.

Perhaps he was frightened, because as soon as Yue Zi returned to the inn, he went upstairs to take care of Pei Yunlian without even saying hello.

Tang Xi looked at the two who had just returned with a curious expression, and pointed at Yue Zijin's retreating figure, asking, "What's wrong with him?"

Su Ning sighed and said helplessly, "Perhaps I scared him."

Tang Xi waved her hand dismissively, saying, "It's nothing then. A grown man like you is so timid. I shouldn't go out with you again."

She didn't know what had happened between the two of them today, but if it was Su Ning, then it was definitely Yue Zijin's fault.

Su Su is not wrong.

"By the way, did you find anything when you went out this afternoon?"

Fuxian Town is not large, and with Tangxi's capabilities, it should be easy to collect medicinal herbs.

At the mention of this, Tang Xi was filled with anger. Once she opened up, she told Su Ning everything, "You don't know, the medicinal herbs were easy to find, but some scoundrel tried to cheat us."

"They actually set an ambush on our way back, with tripwires. I reacted quickly enough, but Brother You doesn't know martial arts, and he rolled several times on the ground!"

"If I find out who that heartless bastard is, I'll kill him!" Tang Xi became angrier and angrier as she spoke, slamming her hand on the table repeatedly.

"Brother You, are you badly injured? I have something to ask him."

A look of worry flashed in Su Ning's eyes.

"Fortunately, it should only be a superficial injury. He's a doctor himself, so it's not convenient for me to bandage him. I was thinking of telling Yue Zijin to go and take a look."

After Tangxi finished speaking, she thought of going up to tell Yue Zijin.

"I'll go take a look then; I also have something to discuss with him."

Su Ning stopped her.

Tang Xi didn't think too much about it, but quietly reminded Su Ning, "Brother You doesn't like women entering his room. If you go in, be careful not to make him angry."

You Xunchun's temper could be described as both good and eccentric.

However, even Tang Xi sometimes couldn't help but be afraid of the other party. After all, the other party was just a weak doctor with no martial arts skills, but sometimes she was stared at by his pair of emotionless eyes.

Then one can't help but feel a chill in one's heart.

Although Brother You never mentioned his past, Tangxi always felt that there must be some bad things in his past that occupied his heart.

Although Yue Zijin and Pei Yunlian always addressed each other as "little friends," she always felt that they couldn't truly open up to each other.

He always rejected her advances without hesitation.

However, Tangxi was very open-minded. She had long since stopped liking You Xunchun. Perhaps when she first fell in love, she couldn't help but keep her eyes on him.

But since the other party wasn't interested in her, she wouldn't do anything to pester him.

For her, romantic love is merely an added bonus; its absence wouldn't hinder her.

Su Su is so weak, if she can't become strong, how will she protect her in the future?

She even thought about the future. If Su Ning had a man she liked, well... he had to be richer than her, and able to beat her. As for looks... he had to be someone who could be found on the list of young masters.

Otherwise, all those cats and dogs should get out of her way.

Su Ning had no idea what Tang Xi was thinking. She went upstairs, and You Xunchun's room was in front of hers.

Therefore, one must pass by her room.

The house across from hers was occupied by the now-famous beauty Xu Heyu, but there was no sound coming from the room, so she must not be there.

"Knock knock—"

"Brother You, are you there?" Su Ning knocked lightly on the door, but no one answered.

Just as Su Ning was about to knock again, the door was opened from the inside.

You Xunchun was only wearing a moon-white inner garment, with an outer robe loosely draped over his body. Su Ning could even see the white cloth strip that was not properly wrapped around his right arm.

His long, black hair fell casually to his waist like silk. He was already extremely handsome, and with his hair unbound, he had a more broken beauty. It was the first time Su Ning had seen him like this, so she couldn't help but take a second look.

But a light knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. "Young friend Su, you wouldn't be knocking on the door just to watch me, would you?"

Su Ning's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly went into the inner room.

The room was clean and tidy, with the bedding and clothes neatly folded, and even a faint herbal scent wafting through the air.

Very mild.

"I heard Brother You was injured, so I came to see if he's alright..."

Under the other person's calm gaze, Su Ning was unusually speechless.

Loading cargo.

Su Ning secretly grumbled to herself.

Su Ning truly admired his ability to remain silent and not reveal his martial arts skills.

We're all ancient foxes, why are you trying to play these ghost stories with me?

Since he was willing to act, Su Ning naturally played along to the end.

You Xunchun poured tea for the two of them and inquired about their purpose. Su Ning noticed the unused ointment on the table, reached out and took it, then moved closer to the other person, her soft voice lingering in their ear:

"I heard Brother You was injured, can't I come and check on him?"

The girl seemed exceptionally innocent; there was not a trace of flirtatiousness in her words. She was simply concerned about his health.

Before she could even touch his arm, her wrist was grabbed, and the cool strands of his hair brushed against her skin. When she looked up, she met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Young friend Su, men and women should not touch each other. I can do it myself."

His words were calm, yet they inexplicably gave off a sense of pressure. Su Ning pretended not to notice and could only put it back in disappointment.

"Brother You is a doctor himself, but a doctor can't heal himself; someone has to care about you."

You Xunchun glanced down at her, then resumed his usual gentle and aloof demeanor. "Then thank you for your concern, young friend Su. I know my own body best."

"If there's nothing else, young friend Su, you should go back to your room as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be good if young friend Yue sees you."

Oh, is this a way of telling her to get rid of me?

Su Ning feigned hesitation, "Actually, I came today to ask Brother You to paint a peach blossom picture for me."

You Xunchun was not only a good doctor, but also a good painter.
