Bai Chaosi’s eyes held a soft, alluring gaze. His feigned weakness, combined with his natural aloofness, made him look both ethereal and sultry.
It was absolutely intoxicating.
Shen Yue was just about to speak.
Outside:
"female mother, something’s wrong!"
"Someone fainted, female mother!"
Shen Yue shot up from the bed in an instant.
She looked at Bai Chaosi, who was gripping her hand:
"Um, you just lie here. I’m going out to see what’s wrong."
The moment Shen Yue went out,
she saw Huang Ziyue collapsed on the ground.
The little ones were gathered around him, except for Sanbao, who stood a little farther away, his small face stern and his eyes coldly watching the man on the ground.
Shen Yue rushed over:
"What happened? Why did he faint?"
Dabao spoke up:
"I saw him about to help you put away the ingredients, female mother, but then he suddenly fainted."
"Yeah, yeah, Er Bao saw it too!"
Shen Yue glanced over and saw that the basket of sun-drying bamboo shoots had been moved under the eaves.
’I can’t believe this man, as cold as an iceberg, is actually so considerate. He knew I was about to put those things away, and even did it for me while I was inside treating Bai Chaosi.’
A wave of concern washed over her, and she shook him gently:
"Ice Block, wake up!"
"Ice Block!"
Huang Ziyue seemed to hear her voice and slowly opened his eyes.
Shen Yue quickly helped him sit up.
"How are you?"
’A man this strong, who didn’t even make a sound when he was so badly injured... how could he suddenly faint?’ She couldn’t help but worry.
Huang Ziyue looked at her.
"I’m fine."
Although his tone was as cold as ever, she could tell he was trying his best to soften it.
Seeing this, Shen Yue said:
"Let me help you up first. Let’s go inside so I can take a look at you!"
He nodded.
He slowly got to his feet.
But as he stood up, he met his son’s gaze.
Those eyes seemed to see through everything.
They seemed to be mocking his little act...
’It was as if he was saying, "None of your actions can escape the eyes of this Young Master."’
Huang Ziyue: "..."
’What have I done to deserve this?’
’What does it feel like to have your own son see through your little tricks, then stand by and watch your performance with cold disdain?’
’But the arrow was already on the bowstring; he had to let it fly.’
’If he hadn’t pretended to faint just now, who knows how that fox would have tried to seduce Shen Yue.’
’And he couldn’t just rush into the room and shout. That would make him, the future number one Beast Husband, seem petty, jealous, and undignified.’
Huang Ziyue steeled himself and stood up.
But as he turned, he was met by the gaze of Bai Chaosi, who was leaning against the doorway.
His eyes held a scrutinizing look.
Shen Yue was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Bai Chaosi to get dressed so quickly.
"He fainted. I need to go check on him."
Hearing this, Bai Chaosi’s gaze darkened.
"Then what about me?"
His voice was plaintive as he stared fixedly at Shen Yue.
Shen Yue remembered his naked appearance from just a moment ago and coughed.
"Aren’t you fine? Something’s wrong with him, so I need to check on him first."
Bai Chaosi glanced at Huang Ziyue.
"What’s wrong with him? He looks perfectly fine to me."
Hearing this, Shen Yue looked suspiciously at Huang Ziyue, who was leaning on her.
But to her surprise, the man’s face suddenly turned pale, and he began to cough violently.
She froze.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing that Huang Ziyue was really putting on a show, Bai Chaosi’s expression grew cool.
"What could possibly be wrong with him? He’s just faking it."
’He’s even better at faking it than I am.’
’I can’t believe this Flood Dragon has started playing tricks too!’
’He clearly copied my idea of feigning illness to deliberately ruin my moment.’
