Chapter 86 - Have I Been Discovered?

Ming Liuyi fell silent.

‘Has the spiritual spring water been discovered? I definitely can’t say it out loud. If anyone finds out, I’ll be taken to a medical school for dissection and research. This matter is too magical, and no one will believe it even if I say it out loud.’

Ming Liuyi composed herself and said to Miao Ruiming seriously, “It’s not medicine. I just asked for some spring water from the mountains.”

Miao Ruiming heard this and became even more interested. According to Yao Zizhou, there must be something special about this spring water, or maybe there was something in it. This was a relatively huge discovery, and if studied well, there might be some major medical breakthroughs.

Miao Ruiming said to her, “Mr. Yao said that this spring water has some effect. Can you tell me where the spring water is?”

When Ming Liuyi heard this, she felt a little guilty. But on second thought, there was spring water everywhere. She took the remaining spiritual spring water from the bedside and handed it to Miao Ruiming. It was not wrong to say that it was spring water, but this spring water did not come from the mountain, and there should be no way to tell the difference at a glance.

Ming Liuyi said, “This is it. Plenty of mountains should have it.”

Miao Ruiming took a closer look. It was just ordinary water, there was nothing different about it. With this, Miao Ruiming was even more certain that the feeling was Yao Zizhou’s imagination. If this kind of water was useful, then all vegetative patients would have recovered by this point.

Miao Ruiming smiled and said to the two with envy, “I think it’s because the two of you have a deep connection, that’s why Mr. Yao felt a little different when you massaged him. That’s a good thing. Madam, please continue to treat Mr. Yao.”

This was not the first time Ming Liuyi heard someone say that her relationship with Yao Zizhou was good. Thinking about how they slept together every day, Ming Liuyi’s face immediately turned red. She did not deny it, but she felt a bit wronged. To think that Yao Zizhou would hug her in his arms, and yet he was still guarded against her. He clearly had questions he wanted to ask, but he did not say them.

After Miao Ruiming left, Ming Liuyi was like an angry pufferfish and rushed back into the room. Yao Zizhou could have asked her directly, but now he had to ask through Miao Ruiming. He did not trust her at all.

Ming Liuyi shouted at him, feeling greatly wronged, “Yao Zizhou, do you think I’m trying to harm you? Fine, since you don’t trust me, I have no reason to stay here. You’re only shooting yourself in the foot.”

Originally, Ming Liuyi thought that one day, she would personally tell Yao Zizhou about her origin, the matter of the spiritual spring—everything. But it seemed that Yao Zizhou would always be on guard, completely treating her like she was Original Ming Liuyi. Perhaps in Yao Zizhou’s heart, she was a vicious woman.

‘What mutually beneficial friendship? All of this was fake!’ Ming Liuyi thought of this and became even angrier. She clenched her fists, her whole body began to tremble, and her brain could not think anymore.

All that was left was grievance and anger. She had clearly taken care of Yao Zizhou with all her heart, but this was the result?

Ming Liuyi said unthinkingly, “You think I want to take care of you? You’re so suspicious that you can’t even distinguish between genuine and false feelings? You deserve to have a falling out with your brother. A person like you doesn’t deserve to be treated well by others—”

Then, Ming Liuyi bit her lip, realizing that she had gone too far. But she was so angry that she did not want to apologize or admit her mistake.

The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped to freezing point. Yao Zizhou’s face did not show any emotion, but his voice was a little hoarse. “Are you done? It’s my turn now, right?”

At this moment, Ming Liuyi was like a little rabbit in danger, wanting to immediately escape from this place. This place was really too dangerous. But just as she was about to run, she got too nervous and could not remain steady on her feet, and thought everything was spinning.

Yao Zizhou thought Ming Liuyi wanted to escape and pulled her into his arms. Ming Liuyi fell on Yao Zizhou’s body. He had just been through acupuncture, so Yao Zizhou’s body was still warm. Ming Liuyi tried to struggle away, but found that she could not. Yao Zizhou held her tightly.

He did not expect Ming Liuyi to be so angry, so he said with a smile, “What, after throwing your tantrum, you still think you can run?”
