Su Zi, being a young girl curious but naive about matters of the bed, saw Lin Feng and Xue Qingyi in this situation and thought they were doing that thing. She didn’t notice Lin Feng and Xue Qingyi’s focused expressions and the solemn looks on their faces. Their bodies weren’t moving at all, and they weren’t making a sound, which meant they weren’t actually doing any exercise; they were cultivating...

Xue Qingyi was completely immersed in the mysteries of guiding her body’s inner strength, unaware that Su Zi had already lifted a corner of the curtain and was peeking from outside. She was thinking of transferring more of her inner strength to Lin Feng through his internal energy, hoping to help him quickly restore his cultivation...

Though Lin Feng’s mastery of Inner Strength was higher than Xue Qingyi’s, his internal energy was almost depleted. However, his perception was still sharp, and since Su Zi wasn’t some expert, he noticed her presence the moment her heartbeat suddenly sped up...

"Su Zi, that girl... Why is she back?" Lin Feng was startled, and his focused mind wavered a bit. A wisp of inner strength that had already reached the connection between him and Xue Qingyi instantly lost its direction, spreading back into Xue Qingyi’s body like a tide, once again becoming free inner strength imperceptible to her...

"Don’t get distracted!" Xue Qingyi sensed something wrong with Lin Feng, opened her eyes slightly, and said gently.

"Hmm..." Lin Feng responded softly, knowing that their dual cultivation didn’t always yield results. There needed to be a period of rest between sessions for Xue Qingyi to accumulate enough valuable inner strength, meaning the opportunity was rare, and Lin Feng dared not lose focus again!

Since Su Zi wanted to watch, let her watch then...

"Phew!" Lin Feng took a long breath, calmed his mind, and once more concentrated on operating his internal energy, trying to absorb Xue Qingyi’s free inner strength, his restoration speed increased significantly.

As a doctor, Lin Feng was well aware that unstable emotions make people restless, which only hinders progress. Only by calming down can tasks be accomplished effectively.

Emotions have always had a clear impact on people.

...

Su Zi stood outside the window for a while, suddenly feeling at a loss, wondering what to do with Lin Feng and Xue Qingyi embracing naked inside.

Leave directly? Su Zi glanced at the thermos of soup in her hand, feeling a bit unwilling.

Back in Jiangzhou, Su Zi just felt a bit confused about Lin Feng, though she thought he was okay, deep down she also had some bad impressions of him, as Lin Feng was sometimes a tad too lecherous.

However, whenever Su Zi faced danger or needed Lin Feng’s help, he never refused her, and compared to those unsavory men approaching her with desire and ambition, Lin Feng was infinitely better, which was why Su Zi eventually developed feelings for him.

Even after realizing that Lin Feng wasn’t so faithful, Su Zi felt a bit unhappy but she ultimately accepted this fact. Back in the capital, she quietly reminisced about Lin Feng.

Previously, when Hua Wanqing, under Su Zhenxian’s name, deliberately restrained her actions, preventing her from getting close to Lin Feng, she still thought of Lin Feng. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have insisted on going to Pinghu Hotel to see Ning Aoxue with Hua Wanqing.

Later, after Lin Feng saved her entire family, Su Zi felt genuine gratitude towards him, especially now when Su Zhenxian hadn’t expressed any stance on matters between her and Lin Feng. Su Zi felt she now had the opportunity to get closer to Lin Feng... That’s why she sneaked away from the competition venue, to cook soup for Lin Feng. She hadn’t expected to stumble upon such an awkward scene upon arriving.

After staying in place for a few seconds, a mischievous smile slowly appeared on Su Zi’s face.

A few seconds later, Su Zi reappeared in the corridor, with a few bodyguards, pretending nothing happened as she leisurely walked to Lin Feng’s ward door, raised her hand, and happily knocked twice...

"Lin Feng... I’ve brought chicken soup for you..."

Su Zi continued knocking without urging, wearing an expression of having succeeded in her mischief.

After a few minutes, the room door was finally opened from inside. Su Zi was rewarded with the sight of Xue Qingyi’s frustrated face, and her slightly disheveled clothes...

"Sister Qingyi, what were you doing just now? I’ve been waiting for so long, the soup’s about to get cold, is Lin Feng awake, let him get up and have some soup!" Su Zi feigned ignorance of Xue Qingyi’s frustration, giggled as she spoke.

Xue Qingyi didn’t realize Su Zi was doing it on purpose. Despite being frustrated, she managed to force a smile on her face, "Aren’t you supposed to be in a competition, why do you have time to cook soup for Lin Feng?!"

"The competition isn’t important..." Su Zi laughed nonchalantly, "What’s important now is for Lin Feng to recover quickly!"

Xue Qingyi cast a cold glance at Su Zi, with some bitter amusement, thinking this girl was in such a hurry to nurse Lin Feng back to health, perhaps with ulterior motives!

Su Zi indeed had ulterior motives, but not to the extent Xue Qingyi thought...

"Sister Qingyi, can I come in?" Su Zi asked quite politely, appearing a bit hesitant towards Xue Qingyi, but her enchanting eyes were already sneaking into the room, secretly assessing the situation. She noticed Lin Feng was now properly covered up and pretending to be asleep.

"Come in then..." Xue Qingyi nodded helplessly, taking the soup from Su Zi and glimpsed at the "sleeping" Lin Feng, speaking softly, "Keep your voice down, Lin Feng hasn’t woken up yet. Once he does, let him have the soup."

Su Zi’s eyes showed a trace of triumphant delight, "Okay then!"

"You sit for a while, I’ll just head to the restroom..." Xue Qingyi placed the soup on the bedside table and gracefully walked out of the room. Hearing Su Zi’s knock, she had hurriedly dressed, and now needed to straighten up a bit.

"Hmm..." Su Zi responded docilely, sitting directly by the bed, mischievously watching Lin Feng.

After Xue Qingyi left the room, Su Zi spoke to Lin Feng with glee, "Handsome Lin, no need to pretend to sleep. I saw everything from the window just now, who would’ve thought you’d still have a lustful heart, bringing the fight with you even when heavily injured, truly admirable... Tsk tsk..." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Su Zi, what nonsense are you spouting..." Lin Feng opened his eyes, looking at Su Zi awkwardly.

"Hehe, me, talking nonsense?" Su Zi shook her head discontently, "Lin Feng, a real man owns up to his actions, don’t disappoint me..."

"I was just cultivating with Qingyi just now..." Lin Feng hurriedly explained, worried that Su Zi’s blabbering might harm Xue Qingyi’s reputation.
