Chapter 20 - Chen Xiaoyi's TreatmentChapter 20: Chen Xiaoyi’s Treatment
Lu Li certainly didn’t expect anything to happen with Chen Xiaoyi right away. He knew that one has to eat one bite at a time, so he found an excuse to prepare some tools and left the room.
He took out his silver needles from the room, tools that had just gathered dust in a drawer in his previous life.
Despite knowing everything, he couldn’t do anything, a feeling Lu Li never wanted to experience again.
Returning to the room, Chen Xiaoyi was ready, her lower body hidden under the blanket, leaving only her smooth, jade-like feet exposed, restlessly moving about.
She even covered her head with a pillow.
What a scene of hiding one’s ears while stealing a bell!
Her adorable appearance genuinely made Lu Li laugh.
“Don’t be nervous; it won’t hurt.” Patting Chen Xiaoyi’s buttocks, Lu Li wore a mischievous smile on his face, skillfully sanitized the silver needles, and gently touched Chen Xiaoyi’s back.
Somewhat frail, though not to the extent of skin and bones, but close enough. This was the result of Chen Xiaoyi’s years of poor nutrition and excessive physical strain.
Yet her skin remained so tender and flawless, like the finest warm jade, strikingly pale.
The moment Lu Li’s hand touched Chen Xiaoyi’s back, she couldn’t help but stiffen her legs, her delicate toes clenching, biting her lip.
She felt like she was going crazy, coming to the home of a man she had only met a day ago. Although it was for treatment, she should have been more skeptical!
Chen Xiaoyi didn’t even know why she ended up here, maybe because Lu Li accurately described her illness back in the milk tea shop, she subconsciously wanted to trust him.
And knowing about her tragic past also made Chen Xiaoyi unconsciously develop a bit of dependency on him.
Or maybe it was his willingness to cover her debts and arrange a job for her that made Chen Xiaoyi unable to help but tell herself that this man was trustworthy.
But soon, a warm feeling spread across her back, like a cozy little heater shining on her, making her flushed face under the pillow even redder.
This comfortable sensation made her want to cry out.
“What else?” Lu Li shrugged, waving his hand in front of his nose, “Hurry up and shower; do you really want to stink me to death?”
“Ah—” Chen Xiaoyi seemed to turn into a steam engine, her head almost smoking, her face blushing, she sprang up.
Rushing into the bathroom, the sound of water soon came from inside.
“Shame on me, I thought it was Lu Li farting, but it was actually me...” Chen Xiaoyi wanted to cover her face in shame.
Lu Li chuckled lightly, freed from the system’s manipulation, his life had become much more interesting!
Even having physical contact with the heroine.
Lu Li knew the plot well; before meeting the protagonist, the heroines hardly had any man touch even their fingertips.
He called the butler to buy some women’s clothes.
“Master, if it’s urgent, we can take Miss Lu Ya’s clothes for the lady to wear,” the butler suggested.
“Shut up, I don’t want to hear the name Lu Ya in this house ever again.” Lu Li’s face instantly turned cold, as if the previous smile was just an illusion.
“I’m sorry, master,” the butler instantly became fearful.
“Go clean up Lu Ya’s room, burn anything related to her, and if I catch any of you hoarding her stuff, consider the consequences.”
With that cold remark, Lu Li made it clear, Lu Ya wouldn’t appear in his life ever again.
“Yes!” The butler realized his mistake. With the young master’s dislike for Lu Ya, how could he bear to hear her mentioned?
Even the lord and lady hadn’t mentioned Lu Ya these days, as if the Lu family never had such a person.
Truly, out of sight, out of mind!
It’s Lu Ya’s fault, why did she harbor such ambition? As an adopted daughter, living a good life wasn’t a problem.
What a pity!
