Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

As if sensing his presence, Wen Yubai turned around to look at him and nodded gently.

Lu Yanci finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he was incredibly grateful for Wen Yubai's cold-bloodedness.

No matter how much those 37 lives were worth, he still wanted his Ruan Ruan.

He admits he's selfish, but he can't help being selfish.

They brought us lunch; it was plentiful and nutritious.

Su Ruan's portion, in particular, contained various nourishing and invigorating ingredients and herbs.

Su Ruan called the soldiers guarding the door in to eat with them.

"There's at least a table inside."

The soldier looked aloof and handsome, but he wasn't rigid at all. When we called him in to eat at the table, he came in and put his lunchbox on the table.

"By the way, what's your name? I can't keep calling you 'soldier brother'," Su Ruan asked again.

"Fu Xiao".

After saying his name, Fu Xiao lowered his head and started eating again.

Su Ruan pondered the name, feeling as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.

Su Ruan had always had a good memory; she could remember every word of the novels she had read before she died. However, this name was the only one that was blurry in her memory.

Looking at Su Ruan, who was deep in thought, Lu Yanci remembered that Wen Yubai and this man named Fu Xiao seemed to have some connection, and felt a little flustered for no reason.

Now, Su Ruan's lost memories are slowly returning.

The master that Wen Yubai mentioned, who might actually exist, has become clearer in Su Ruan's memory.

Could this Fu Xiao also have some past connection with Su Ruan?

What reassured Lu Yanci was that Su Ruan's contemplation only lasted for a moment and quickly passed.

Fu Xiao shouldn't be a very important person.

Fu Xiao finished his meal in a few bites at the table, then packed up his lunchbox and stood by the door again.

"Brother Fu, don't stay here, we're fine."

Su Ruan hadn't forgotten that Fu Xiao was still injured.

"I feel at ease knowing I'm here."

Su Ruan stopped trying to persuade her.

Looking at the food in his lunchbox, which was missing a corner, he continued eating.

She desperately needed to replenish her energy.

After finishing her meal, she walked to the door again.

Two pairs of eyes looked over from behind.

Su Ruan stood down next to Fu Xiao.

"Your health isn't good, you know that, right?"

Fu Xiao nodded.

You need to rest.

Fu Xiao nodded again.

Fu Xiao nodded but did not take any action.

Su Ruan sighed helplessly.

"There's no point in you staying here guarding the place."

"We will rest well and try our best to save the people you rescued as soon as possible."

"But you also need to take care of yourself."

Fu Xiao remained silent.

After a long pause, he finally said, "I'll stay here and feel at ease."

Su Ruan knew that she couldn't persuade this person anymore, so she stopped trying.

She actually wanted to take someone's pulse.

But considering that this was a military hospital with many highly skilled senior doctors, she didn't need to go to any more trouble and gave up.

After realizing she had some skills, Su Ruan would always want to meddle in other people's business, but then she would tell herself to stop.

Ignoring Fu Xiao, Su Ruan looked at the scenery and felt the breeze in the corridor outside the door for a while, feeling much better, before returning to her room.

Seeing Wen Yubai lost in thought, he sat down next to him and asked, "What did you think of his pulse this morning?"

Wen Yubai looked over, his gaze scrutinizing.

"Why don't you tell me first?"

Su Ruan tugged at her sleeve.

"I think we were a bit too simplistic in our thinking before."

Wen Yubai didn't refute, but instead laughed.

"Junior sister, has something come to mind?"

Su Ruan frowned slightly. "Although the pulse can reveal what problems he has, it cannot reveal the root cause of those problems."

"But there is one book, which is said to be an ancient book from a thousand years ago, that seems to have a similar record."

"Oh?"

Wen Yubai did not respond, but instead showed a listening posture.

Su Ruan softly recited: "When the poison of metal and stone enters the meridians, the pulse becomes frozen like a river, the skin turns blue and the nails turn black, and the cold blocks the blood vessels."

The symptoms described in that sentence almost perfectly match those of the patient I saw this morning.

Wen Yubai repeated the first few words.

"Is it due to the insidious effects of metals and minerals penetrating the meridians?"

Su Ruan nodded.

"That's what I remember saying."

Wen Yubai asked again, "Where did you see this ancient book?"

"In Grandma Li's study," Su Ruan said.

"Every time Grandma Li goes to the small town, she brings some books with her. Sometimes they are medical records, and sometimes they are ancient books."

Incredulity flashed in Wen Yubai's eyes.

"Do you remember all the words in the books you've read?"

Su Ruan nodded hesitantly.

"I don't remember everything, but I can usually recall what I do remember."

Wen Yubai's eyes showed shock again.

Lu Yanci was equally shocked.

No wonder, no wonder Su Ruan learns things so quickly.

No wonder she can quickly master even new knowledge.

Remember, then integrate and apply your knowledge.

What many people lack is simply remembering the first two words.

Because memorizing requires a lot of willpower to make strong associations with related memories, many people can't even make weak associations.

Su Ruan, on the other hand, engraved everything she had ever seen, regardless of whether she thought it was important or not, into her mind.

This is different from hyperthymesia in medicine.

Hyperthymesia is the ability to passively remember all bodily sensations.

This includes all the details seen by the eyes, the sounds heard by the ears, the smells perceived by the nose, the tastes experienced by the mouth, the sensations felt by the skin, and the emotions felt by the body.

Abstract concepts like knowledge still require learning; it's impossible to remember everything you read at a glance.

It goes without saying that ordinary people are even more vulnerable.

Even he couldn't do it.

At most, his memory is slightly better than that of the average person.

Wen Yubai had already stood up and was walking towards the door.

"Come in here for a moment," he called to Fu Xiao.

Fu Xiao naturally heard the discussion in the room. He walked in, but bit his lip lightly, thinking about whether he could say certain things.

Su Ruan asked the question directly.

"Is the patient's research related to stones?"

"Or rather, were you trapped in any special locations related to rocks on your way back?"

After thinking for a long time, Fu Xiao finally nodded.

"But I can't tell you any more."

"If you absolutely need to know, you need to submit a report."

"We understand."

Su Ruan waved her hand, signaling Fu Xiao to wait outside again.

Then he continued the discussion with Wen Yubai, "The problem now is that the ancient book is not in my possession, so I have no way to prove the existence of that sentence."

"Then I won't prove it."

"We only treat patients."

Su Ruan nodded, indicating that she understood.

As long as the poison is forced out of the old man's body, his life can be saved.

Other matters can be discussed later.

After agreeing on the plan, Su Ruan yawned.

But a commotion came from outside the door.

"Ah Xiao, what are you doing standing here? Do you want to die?"

It was an urgent female voice.

Through the window, you can see a beautiful woman with exquisite makeup.

Fu Xiao remained silent.

The woman glanced inside again.

His gaze swept over Wen Yubai, then over Lu Yanci, and finally settled on Su Ruan's face.
