bowl of something. She hated taking medicine from a young age, including tonics, always feeling they were like medicine and not tasty."Drink quickly!" Gu Chi urged.Su Keqin felt that she was now just...Ouyang Chu naturally saw the change in Xu Zui Ning at once, and his brows furrowed involuntarily. Cheng Ji Bei had done some investigation on her, after all.
Why would Xu Zui Ning care so much about that man Just hearing his name could make her this happy
Xu Zui Ning suddenly stood up, the person she had been waiting for finally arrived, of course she had to go and greet him personally.
Suddenly, she screamed involuntarily the next second. She lost her balance and fell into a cold, firm embrace.
Xu Zui Ning was still shaken, her eyes wide as she looked up at Ou Yang Chu.
Ouyang Chu's expression was still as cold as ever, but at this moment, there seemed to be a hint of anger hidden beneath it.
Xu Zui Ning was puzzled. He had just been so affectionate, why did he suddenly get angry
Ouyang Chu seemed to be even angrier at Xu Zui Ning's questioning gaze. Didn't this woman know what was wrong with her actions
He dared to act so attentive towards other men in front of him, and now he even had the nerve to look at me with those innocent and confused eyes as if I were the one with a problem
Thinking, Ou Yang Chu hugged Xu Zui Ning's hand involuntarily increased his strength. Only listening to Xu Zui Ning softly hissed, before releasing her hand like an electric shock.
"Let go of me quickly, Cheng Jibin is coming, I want to have a few words with him myself!"
Xu Zui Ning truly didn't know why Ou Yang Chu was suddenly angry. But this kind of sudden anger usually wasn't about anything important.
Right now, the development of traditional Chinese medicine is the most important thing, rounding up to Cheng Jiben being the most important!
Unexpectedly, even in his embrace, she was still so restless. Ouyang Chu's face grew increasingly grim, the temperature around them plummeted suddenly. He brought his face close to Xu Zui Ning's and whispered,
"Don't act so passionately towards other men!"
Xu Zui Ning was stunned, and only then did she understand why the iceberg in front of her suddenly got angry. It turned out that she had eaten Cheng Ji Bei's vinegar!
Xu Zui'ning came back to her senses and chuckled softly. She lightly pushed Ou Yang Chu, whispering a few words in his ear. Only then did Ou Yang Chu reluctantly let go of Xu Zui'ning.
Xu Zui regained her composure and lifted her head, only to find that Cheng Jibei was already approaching her. She hurriedly smoothed out her clothes and put on a smile.
"Hello, I didn't expect you to actually come to the conference."
Cheng Jibai also wore a polite smile on his face and nodded in greeting.
"I listened to the Zhuo family's press conference, your line of reasoning was very clear."
A flash of amazement crossed Xu Zui'ng's eyes. She hadn't expected Cheng Jibin to truly live up to his reputation as a genius. Just from the brief statements at the press conference, he had grasped her diagnostic reasoning when she treated the illness. He was indeed a remarkable individual.
"That's too kind of you. I'm going to demonstrate some acupuncture techniques in a bit, would you be interested"
Cheng Jibi merely smiled faintly and nodded in agreement. The two of them chatted back and forth, their conversation flowing easily. In just a few short exchanges, they became close friends.
Puyun Gus Xia secretly glanced at Ou Yang Chu, but she was surprised to find that Ou Yang Chu didn't continue to be jealous as she had imagined.
Because he wasn't angry like before, instead his expression was very strange. He would sometimes close his eyes as if feeling something.
Pu Yun Gu Xia looked on in astonishment, Xu Zui Ning was already having a lively conversation with another man, and the other man looked quite good... How come Ou Yang Chu didn't seem worried at all
Instead, he would occasionally close his eyes. What was he doing Was he trying to become an immortal Or was he inwardly admonishing himself to be kind to others Perhaps he was struggling to control himself from killing the young man before him.
Pu Yun Gus Xia felt strange, and after thinking about it for a long time, she still didn't understand what Ou Yang Chu was doing. She couldn't help but reach out and touch Ou Yang Chu.
"What are you doing"
Ouyang Chu had originally been closing his eyes, unaware of what he was feeling. When Pu Yun Gu Xia bumped into him, he suddenly opened his eyes, but his gaze was mixed with a trace of bewilderment.
He frowned and leaned closer to Pu Yun Gu Xia, whispering.
"I feel like the toxins in my body are being suppressed severely."
Puyun Gu Xia was startled, hastily raising her hand to take Ouyang Chu's pulse.
Although Xu Zui Ning was beside him, the two didn't have any intimate contact. They had just hugged a while ago, and it had already been half a day.
The toxin should not be suppressed too drastically, this is something that is already very obvious now to the point where even Ou Yang Chu can directly detect it, which means the effect has been enhanced by no small amount.
Pu Yun Gu Xia carefully felt the pulse, his face of shocked expression even more solemn because Ou Yang Chu's pulse was unprecedentedly stable, as if there had never been any poison in his body.
"Don't you feel better now Has even that usual feeling of restlessness, the one that always seems to churn in your blood, vanished"
Ouyang Chu hesitated for a moment before nodding. He hadn't felt this way in many years.
He contracted the Frostbone Poison when he was around four or five years old. From then on, every day of his life was filled with suffering.
Until he met Xu Zui Ning, even if they could be intimate when together, he would still suffer through each day painfully if they couldn't see each other.
Even on days when there was no poisoning, or even when Xu Zui Ning was by his side, the toxins in his body were only suppressed.
The icy, piercing pain that surges through the blood has never ceased.
But in those few moments, he seemed to experience something he had never felt before.
His body was calm, as if the toxins had never existed in the first place. He experienced for the first time how easy it was to be an ordinary person.
But what puzzled him even more was that he couldn't get close to Xu Zui Ning at all, how could the poison have vanished completely as if it never existed
To be frank, the answer is quite obvious. The difference now is that there's Cheng Jibai by his side.
And it was from the moment Cheng Jiben came to find Xu Zui Ning to talk that the poison in his body suddenly disappeared.
"Achoo! You! Your hand, it's a little warm..."
Puyun Gus Xia suddenly let out another cry of alarm.
Because of the Frostbone Poison, Ouyang Chu's body temperature was always icy cold, and even his breath was chillingly frigid.
Before the time of Gu Xia, Puyu often took Ouyang Chu's pulse. He was long accustomed to the icy temperature of Ouyang Chu's arms.
But he had just been feeling Ouyang Chu's pulse carefully, and suddenly felt a change in the temperature under his hand.
For the past twenty years, Ou Yang Chu had always been cold and distant like a lifeless statue. Now, it seemed for the first time, his body felt like that of a normal person.
Pu Yun Gu Xia was overjoyed.
"Achoo, has the poison in your body been neutralized!" Decoction. Wouldn't the effect of dispelling cold be better"Chu Lao's gaze fell once more on Xu Zui Ning, who lowered her head and spoke in a soft voice."The medicine is too potent, it's not that ser...
