Huangfu Xian woke up to the sound of smacking saliva.

He opened his eyes to find himself lying in a strange room, with crude beams overhead and walls that neither resembled a palace nor a farmhouse. At the end was a large wardrobe, and beside it, a desk.

Across from the bed was a window, through which bright daylight streamed in.

Perhaps humans naturally gravitate towards light; Huangfu Xian instinctively glanced towards the source of the light, only to find it too bright, causing him to squint.

Smack, smack.

The sound of saliva smacking returned.

Huangfu Xian paused, allowing his eyes to adjust to the light before opening them again, and near the window, he saw a cradle.

The cradle was taller than the bed, but its guardrails were hollow, allowing Huangfu Xian a clear view of the baby inside.

The infant was sucking on his own fingers, the smacking sound emanating from his mouth.

In this unfamiliar environment, in the silent room, the presence of this quiet and lively little life added a touch of warmth and vitality.

Suddenly, a figure of a man in his early years stepped in. He glanced at Huangfu Xian, who was examining the cradle, then smiled and walked over to pinch the baby's cheek, "Is Xiaobao awake?"

Gu Xiaobao gave him a small, knowing look before returning to sucking his fingers.

"Why are you so well-behaved? You woke up and didn't cry for anyone." He chuckled, then turned to Huangfu Xian, his expression becoming more formal, "You're awake too?"

Huangfu Xian's gaze fell on his face, "Physician Song."

Physician Song looked surprised, "You know me?"

Huangfu Xian, still weak, nodded faintly, "We returned from the border together. I heard someone call you that on the way."

Physician Song suddenly realized, chuckled, and said, "Ah, I see. You have a good memory. I don't even remember being called that."

"I was in the carriage." Huangfu Xian said.

Even if he was in the carriage, with over a hundred medical team members, to only hear a person call out his name once and remember it vividly, it was evident that Huangfu Xian's memory was exceptional

Or maybe it was because he was quite the looker?

Huangfu Xian added, "Your distinctive square-shaped face is easy to recognize."

Physician Song: "..."

Physician Song cleared his throat, "How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"

Huangfu Xian shook his head slightly, only then realizing that he wasn't feeling too bad.

The wound still had a slight pain, but it was much better than before.

As if sensing his confusion, Physician Song pointed to his leg and explained, "Our boss performed surgery on you. Your bones are ground and the wound is stitched up."

"Why don't I feel anything then?"

From childhood to adulthood, Huangfu Xian had undergone several bone-grinding procedures, each one agonizing. It wasn't just physical torment but also a psychological humiliation.

So this time, he would rather die than endure such pain again.

Physician Song smiled and said, "You were anesthetized. Of course, you didn’t feel anything. Does the wound still hurt?"

"Not much." Huangfu Xian shook his head slightly.

Because of too much shock, he forgot to ask, "Who authorized you to treat me? I didn't want treatment!"

"That's good then. Our boss instructed that you should take the medicine when you wake up." Physician Song poured a glass of water and handed him some anti-inflammatory and hemostatic pills.

Huangfu Xian was still confused and ate them absentmindedly.

After finishing, he remembered to ask, "Where is this place?"

"Bishui Alley, our boss’s house. Our boss, Physician Gu, you know him." Physician Song replied.

Suddenly, Huangfu Xian remembered. Lian'er had slipped, and he seemed to have fallen from the bridge. He thought he was done for, but in his daze, he faintly saw a slender figure leaping towards him.

With a splash, they both fell into the water.

He didn't remember what happened after that as he passed out.

Huangfu Xian asked, "Was it Physician Gu... who brought me back?"

Physician Song replied, "Yes! Speaking of which, you're really lucky. I heard that the river was very turbulent that night, if you fell in, normally, you would have been swept away by the waves. Luckily, our boss is good in water." freeweb(n)ovel.co(m)

Huangfu Xian lowered his gaze, "Where is she?"

Physician Song let out a sigh. "After she saved you..."

Huangfu Xian's eyelashes trembled as he looked at him.

Physician Song continued, "She went to the medical hall. There was a brawl in the capital, injuring seven or eight people. She's been too busy, her feet don’t even touch the ground, so she asked me to come and take care of you."

"Oh." Huangfu Xian relaxed his expression subtly.

"Little big brother! You're awake!"

Here comes the little mushroom.

Physician Song smiled at Little Jing Kong and said, "Jing Kong, you’re here? Keep your little big brother company for a while, I'll take Xiaobao out."

"Okay!" Little Jing Kong nodded vigorously.

Physician Song carried Gu Xiaobao, who was sucking his fingers, out, while Little Jing Kong trotted to the bedside and looked at Huangfu Xian with wide, round eyes. "Little big brother, you've been asleep for two days! How are you feeling? Is anything uncomfortable?"

Huangfu Xian: Are all the people here going to ask the same questions?

“Not really." Huangfu Xian replied indifferently.

Little Jing Kong leaned on the edge of the bed, blinking at him, "Are you hungry?"

Huangfu Xian answered, "Not hungry."

"You're amazing, not eating for two days and still not hungry." Little Jing Kong pointed to the bed beneath him. "You're sleeping on my bed! Is it comfortable?"

"It's too hard." Huangfu Xian said.

Huangfu Xian liked soft beds, while Little Jing Kong was used to sleeping on hard beds in the temple. Coincidentally, Xiao Heng had slept on hard beds during his years living among the common people.

Little Jing Kong's small body lay on the bed, kicking about his feet against the ground. “JiaoJiao's bed is very soft, but, but you can't sleep on it. Only I can sleep on JiaoJiao's bed."

Huangfu Xian cast a sidelong glance at him and muttered with dissatisfaction, "Who wants to sleep?"

Suddenly, Little Jing Kong pulled out a small pastry from his pouch, "Little big brother, do you want to eat this?"

Huangfu Xian turned his face away, "I don't eat that stuff."

Without warning, Little Jing Kong stuffed the pastry into Huangfu Xian’s mouth.

A rich aroma of milk filled his lips and teeth, carrying a delicate sweetness. Huangfu Xian was stunned for a moment.

Little Jing Kong tilted his little head and asked, "Is it delicious? JiaoJiao made it!"

Huangfu Xian didn't speak, just made a vague sound of agreement.

Meanwhile, Gu Jiao had finally finished treating the last patient. She couldn't rest and changed into her night clothes, intending to go out. But just as she reached the door, she was blocked by Princess Xinyang's carriage.

Yu Jin opened the curtain for Princess Xinyang. Princess Xinyang looked calmly at Gu Jiao and asked, "Where are you going dressed like that?"
