Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Chapter 177 Mu Yao is Sick

(The previous chapter has been expanded)

The next day, Mu Yao slept until 3:15 pm before waking up.

Shen Chutang and Xiao Douxue were not in a hurry and let her sleep until she woke up naturally.

Seeing that the sun would set in the west in an hour, Mu Yao stopped hesitating about leaving and lay back to continue sleeping.

It was not until three quarters past the twilight hour that Xiao Douxue could no longer sit still. Worried that she was starving, he walked into Shen Chutang's yard and dragged her up.

"My dear, you can sleep well!" Xiao Douxue pinched her palms twice and carried her to the bathroom. Seeing her sitting there with her eyes closed and motionless, he was stunned for a while, poured out the warm noodle soup and filled a basin with cold water, dripped a drop of rose dew in it and washed her face.

It was a hot summer day, and Mu Yao didn't feel the water was very cold, but the elegant floral scent instantly refreshed her.

She rubbed her hazy eyes, took the toothbrush and homemade tooth powder handed to her by Xiao Douxue, closed her eyes again, and washed her face up and down back and forth.

So sleepy?

Xiao Douxue's face turned green when he saw her exhausted appearance.

After Mu Yao finished cleaning, Shen Chutang walked into the yard carrying the food box. The moment he saw Xiao Douxue, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Shen only took dinner for two people." Shen Chutang opened the lunch box and placed the dinner on the eight-immortal table.

A cold light flashed in Xiao Douxue's eyes, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Then you guys eat slowly, I'll come back to pick up my wife later."

Shen Chutang paused, raised his eyelids and looked at him quietly without saying a word.

The imposing aura without anger made Xiao Douxue's face change suddenly. After staring at each other for a few seconds, he turned to look at Mu Yao and asked, "Madam, you stayed at Mr. Shen's place yesterday. Shouldn't you go back to my place tonight?"

Mu Yao's eyes seemed half open, still wandering between reality and dreams. She nodded slightly, picked up a piece of lotus root box and put it in her mouth.

I got caught in the rain last night. Even though I took a hot bath, I still felt damp, as if there was steam inside my body that wouldn't come out.

A sharp gaze shot straight towards Xiao Douxue.

Shen Chutang opened up his aura, and a chill that could not be ignored spread out: "Pavilion Master Xiao seems to have recovered too quickly. Why don't I let Shen learn more about Pavilion Master Xiao's extraordinary medical skills?"

Xiao Douxue's whole body tensed up in an instant. He pursed his lips, glanced at Mu Yao again, and left the room with a sullen face.

Mu Yao had no appetite, and everything she ate tasted like chewing wax. She stroked her head and said weakly, "Chu Tang, I feel a little uncomfortable. You should call Dou Xue over."

Seeing that she had lowered her head and her breathing was a little weak, Shen Chutang picked her up and went to the main courtyard.

When Xiao Douxue saw the two of them, his eyes were stunned, and then he took the person over.

He touched Mu Yao's fair wrist and found that her pulse was floating and tight, a sign of cold.

"You stay here with her, I'll go make the medicine." Xiao Douxue flashed out of the yard.

Shen Chutang stared at the pretty girl lying on the bed. She had her eyes closed and her eyelashes trembling. She looked like a ball of cotton curled up in a satin quilt, soft and fluffy, and her face had long lost its former liveliness.

A feeling of shame and regret welled up from the bottom of my heart.

Shen Chutang looked at Mu Yao with pity and placed his big palm on her forehead. Fortunately, the temperature was not too high.

Xiao Douxue's medicine was very effective. After coaxing Mu Yao to drink it, in less than half an hour, her complexion improved a lot.

The night was warm and cozy. Shen Chutang looked at Mu Yao for a while before getting up and leaving.

They stayed in Floating Cloud Villa for three full days before setting off again.

From then on, whenever it rained, Xiao Douxue no longer cared and would consciously stay in the best inn nearby.

They slowed down along the way, passed through seven towns, and finally arrived at "Xuanwu City", the border between Dayun and Yunlan.

This place is very close to Yuhe City, which reminds Mu Yao of the Changsheng Pavilion that Xu Qingcheng had visited before, and she instantly became interested.

"I want to go to Changsheng Pavilion and take a look." Mu Yao suggested.

Shen Chutang had no objection, but Xiao Douxue remembered something.

"Madam, a few days ago, I heard rumors that you were Mr. Wu Liu?"

When Mu Yao mentioned Changsheng Pavilion, he suddenly remembered this matter. He didn't take it seriously before, thinking that it was just a rumor spread by some people.

Mu Yao nodded: "Yes, I am Mr. Wu Liu." She had indeed not mentioned this identity to Xiao Douxue. News in prosperous places spread very quickly, and Mu Yao thought Xiao Douxue had known about it a long time ago.

What? Is the lady really Mr. Wu Liu?

Xiao Douxue was completely stunned, staring with his big round eyes, and fell into silence.

Mu Yao was amused by his expression: "I'll draw a self-portrait for you when we get back."

"Can we include my parents as well? Draw the four of us?" Xiao Douxue immediately became very alert.

Suddenly he continued, "Madam, when the Dan Pavilion in Lanling County is restored, you can paint another huge painting and I will hang it in the hall."

Xiao Douxue raised his head proudly. He wanted to let everyone know that Mr. Wu Liu, "the number one painter in the Yunqi painting world", was his, Xiao Douxue's, wife!

"Okay." Mu Yao agreed immediately. She began to think: The wall of the Dan Pavilion's hall is made of a whole piece of white marble. If it were to hang a painting, it would be more domineering to make a giant relief.

Her relief carving skills were also very good. As far as she knew, Yunqi had not yet developed the art of giant relief carving. She had only seen some simple relief patterns on small bricks or stone walls. For her, this was another good opportunity to become famous in Yunqi and enhance her prestige.
