C170

She went upstairs to her room and watched the workmen make up the beds.

The woman became more meticulous and began to busy herself once more.

Wu Dong did not join in on the fun. Instead, he went downstairs and sat down with a cup of water.

As he took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves, he saw a faint white mark on his arm.

Upon entering the first level of the mental state, one's body would have the ability to automatically heal wounds.

However, the wound would leave behind a scar after it healed. It would gradually disappear after a period of time.

When did this white mark appear?

He couldn't remember being injured here.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back, and an instinctive feeling came over him that someone was looking at him with malicious intent.

He looked back and saw his own reflection in the glass behind him.

Wu Dong heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he had been too paranoid today.

However, he had an ominous feeling this entire day.

As for what was inappropriate, he was completely unable to say.

The clinic didn't have any business for the whole afternoon, so Wu Dong drove to pick Li Ziruo up from work.

When he reached the real estate agency, Wu Dong found that in the crowded office, only Li Ziruo was still busy working in front of his computer.

She had just started work today, and all she did was waste time and effort.

For a long time she had to do this rookie work.

Li Ziruo looked up and smiled at Wu Dong when she saw him enter. "Wait for me a bit longer."

Wu Dong sat at a table in front of him and watched as Li Ziruo focused on reading his computer. His hands continuously tapped his keyboard.

A woman with freckles all over her face came out from the bathroom at the back of the room. When she saw Wu Dong, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She smiled and said, "This is your boyfriend."

Li Ziruo nodded and said, "That's right."

Seeing the car parked outside, the freckled woman asked Wu Dong, "Is the car at the door yours?"

Wu Dong nodded, he did not have the intention to chat with her.

The freckled girl walked to her table in low spirits and moved a stack of documents in front of Li Ziruo: "I will trouble you with these too."

She then revealed a smile that she thought was extremely beautiful to Wu Dong, and then said to Li Ziruo: "I'll be leaving first, remember to lock the door when you leave."

She slung her bag over her shoulder and walked away, swinging her hips.

Wu Dong glanced at the freckled woman, then said to Li Ziruo: "Did she throw her job to you as well?"

Li Ziruo raised her head and silently turned to the computer screen.

Li Ziruo busied herself for a few more hours before she stretched lazily and stood up.

Wu Dong was already dozing off at the side. When he heard the sound and saw Li Ziruo standing up, he gasped for breath, and stood up to leave.

Who knew that Li Ziruo would turn around and go to the water dispenser. She returned with a cup of water and apologetically said, "Can we wait a while longer?"

"It's only the first day, don't you have to work so hard?"

Wu Dong felt his heart ache.

"I just want to get in shape."

She sat down in front of the computer. "I treasure this job."

Wu Dong had no choice but to obediently wait for her. He busied himself until around ten o'clock in the morning before he stood up and turned off the computer. He shook Wu Dong who was sleeping on the table beside him: "Why do you not seem to have slept at all."

Wu Dong forcefully opened his eyes. He also felt that it was very easy to get sleepy today.

The two of them got in the car and returned to the clinic. Jiang Xue had already prepared dinner for them.

Li Ziruo was really hungry.

Wu Dong stood up and went to pour some water for Li Ziruo. After returning to the table, he complained, "Why is it taking so long?"

Wu Dong was suspicious: In the time I took to turn around, it was also less than a minute.

He did not argue with her and gave the water cup to Li Ziruo.

Somehow, he remembered that he had only poured one glass of water, but he had two.

He was startled for a moment, and then handed the other cup of water to Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue looked at him and said, "Why do I feel like you're so weird today?"

Li Ziruo nodded in agreement, "I think so too."

Wu Dong laughed and said: "Have you become more handsome or more charming?"

The two girls made faces at him.

After dinner, the two went upstairs to sleep.

When Wu Dong saw them go upstairs and close the clinic door, he took out the bag containing the secret scriptures from under the counter and prepared to take it upstairs to study it more carefully.

Suddenly, he kicked the medicine box.

The medicine box had been placed in the corner, but at some point, half of it was exposed.

Wu Dong lowered his head to look, and saw that there were traces of the medicine box being opened.

He opened the medicine box. Nothing was missing from inside.

The prescription and pills he had concocted were still in there.

A small porcelain bottle caught his attention.

It was a bottle of aphrodisiac concocted with epimedium, cardamom, lily, etc.

This medicine combined with other injury drugs, and has the effect of promoting blood circulation and analgesia, but use is not much.

He picked up the small porcelain bottle and discovered that there were traces of medicinal powder on its mouth. Even less than half of the powder was missing from the mouth of the bottle.

Who touched the medicine chest?

Could it be Jiang Xue?

Was she rummaging through Wu Dong's medicine box?

Wu Dong pushed the medicine box back to the corner, thinking to himself that he had to talk to Jiang Xue tomorrow.

These drugs are different from the traditional Chinese medicine use, mixed and disorderly use is bound to be an accident.

He took the manual and walked upstairs, passing by Jiang Xue's room, he could not help but lean on the door and listen. There were no sounds coming from inside, the two of them should be asleep by now.

Wu Dong crept back to his room.

What he did not know was that Jiang Xue had not been able to sleep soundly.

Li Ziruo told Jiang Xue about today's work experience, and casually asked him about Jiang Xue's plans.

Jiang Xue replied: "I didn't plan on staying long, but..."

The two of them understood tacitly that they had spent too much time on Wu Dong.

Jiang Xue turned her head and said: "I have already found someone to help me, I hope to be able to find a job in the hospital here."

At the very least, she would not leave Shanghai until Wu Dong made his choice.

Their conversation had touched upon this taboo and they had no interest in continuing it.

The two of them turned off the lights and slept, with their backs to each other on the bed.

They were originally strangers, but because Wu Dong lived together, they shared a bed, and even became friends.

At first they pretended to be intimate, but then the relationship grew closer.

Li Ziruo turned on the bedside lamp, and said apologetically: "I'm a little thirsty."

She picked up a glass of water from the side of the door and gulped down most of it.

She didn't know why, but she felt hot and dry all over. Even after drinking a glass of water, she still couldn't get rid of her hunger.

Jiang Xue also sat up, she also felt that her entire body was itchy, and sweat slowly appeared on her forehead.

"Give me a cup as well."

Jiang Xue stretched out her hand.

"Yes."

When Li Ziruo came back to her senses, she realized that she had lost control of herself. She quickly poured herself a cup of water and sat down beside Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue took the cup, and raised her head to drink.

Li Ziruo looked at her perspiring face, unable to shift her gaze away.
