However, in the end, Fu Xuan failed at her self-imposed pressure, secretly deciding that next time she would be gentler and shorten the time even more!
...After lunch, Selene still couldn't stand up normally.
More accurately, she could stand up, but it hurt so much that she would sit back down.
"Fu Xuan, you're really something!"
Selene said, a bit annoyed.
Fu Xuan: ..."Ahem! Who told you to keep provoking This Meow last night?!"
"I just didn't expect that what you said last night was actually true!"
Selene said, a little exasperated.
"Huh? That sentence? Which sentence?"
Fu Xuan asked, puzzled.
"The one where you said last night that you'd make me unable to get out of bed for three days?"
Selene whispered.
Fu Xuan: ..."How about I take you to see a doctor then!"
Fu Xuan said.
Selene was silent for a moment, feeling the pain from her body, and finally compromised.
Perhaps, some painkillers wouldn't be bad?
...On the way, Selene switched to her cat form.
Mainly, it was more convenient for Fu Xuan to carry her this way, and of course, most importantly, it was less awkward!
Since today was the first day of the New Year, Bailu was not at her usual clinic but resting at home.
"Thump thump thump"!
As the knocking sound rang out, Bailu jumped off the sofa and ran towards the door.
"Hmm? It's Diviner Fu! Are you feeling unwell, looking for me?"
Bailu asked, looking at Fu Xuan standing at the door.
"It's not This Meow who's unwell, but This Meow's girlfriend!"
Fu Xuan said, pulling Selene, who was hiding behind her, forward.
"Girl? Girlfriend?!"
Bailu said, looking at Fu Xuan and Selene in surprise, speechless for a long time.
"Ahem! Is it that strange?"
"Uh? Not strange, not strange! Please come in and sit!"
Bailu said, inviting the two girls into the house.
"Where are you feeling unwell? Your complexion looks very poor!"
Bailu looked at Selene's face, noticing that she was pale and her expression was somewhat pained.
"Um, how about you take my pulse first?"
Selene suggested.
"Oh~! So it's not convenient to say!"
Bailu had an expression of seeing through everything, and extended her hand, placing her fingers on Selene's wrist.
A few minutes later, Bailu slowly raised her head, looking at Selene and Fu Xuan.
"Hmm... you two can play, but you should be a little more restrained! It was a bit too intense!"
Bailu said, taking out a piece of paper and starting to write a prescription.
Upon hearing Bailu's words, both girls blushed and lowered their heads.
"Hmm? Oh, right! Grand Diviner, remember to trim your fingernails next time!"
Bailu suddenly looked up and said.
Fu Xuan: "Huh? Trim my fingernails?!"
"That's right! Trim your fingernails! You two don't tell me you both didn't know?!"
Bailu said in surprise.
Selene: ???
Fu Xuan: ???
Seeing their bewildered expressions, what more was there for Bailu not to understand?
"If you don't trim your fingernails, it's easy to injure the other person; bleeding is common, and it's also prone to inflammation and infection."
"No wonder she couldn't get out of bed today. It's the first time, plus you didn't trim your fingernails; it would be strange if it didn't hurt."
Bailu explained certain knowledge to the two girls while writing the prescription.
The two girls could only nod frantically, their faces red!
..."Alright! Take it home and drink it!"
Bailu said, handing the prescription to Fu Xuan.
"Thank you, Dragon Girl!"
Fu Xuan said, taking the prescription.
"Ahem! It's the New Year; aren't you going to give me a red packet?"
Bailu said with a giggle.
Fu Xuan: ...Damn, I didn't bring that out with me at all!
However, Selene, upon hearing this, directly pulled out a large red packet from her pocket and handed it to Bailu!
After giving it to Bailu, Selene urged Fu Xuan to quickly leave.
Although Fu Xuan didn't understand, she still picked up Selene and quickly left Bailu's house.
Bailu: "Hmm? I actually got a red packet? I was just joking."
Bailu said, a smile appearing on her face.
This was her first time receiving a red packet! And such a big one!
She slowly unwrapped the red packet, and took out... the second red packet inside!
Bailu: ...You scoundrel!
That's right, this was the red packet Guinaifen had given Selene earlier; Selene had put stellar jade back inside, planning to prank Qingque with it.
Who would have thought it would be used to prank Bailu!
A few minutes later, Bailu finished unwrapping the red packet, then took out the stellar jade inside, and a note!
When Bailu saw the last sentence on the note, she almost let out a Xianzhou national curse!
(Quickly say thank you, big sister!)
Bailu: My thanks...!
...Evening.
After an afternoon, plus drinking the medicine, Selene felt much better and could bounce around again!
"This Meow originally wanted to take you out to play today, but unfortunately, there was no opportunity during the day."
Fu Xuan sat beside Selene, her tone a bit regretful.
"Hmph hmph! That's all your fault!"
Selene said with two snorts.
"Alright, alright! It's This Meow's fault! So This Meow has decided to take you to Exalting Sanctum to attend the lantern festival held tonight!"
Fu Xuan said, stroking Selene's head.
"Lantern festival? What all is there?"
Selene inquired.
"Heh heh, you'll know when you go! This Meow can guarantee that there will be lots and lots of delicious food!"
Fu Xuan said.
"In that case! What are we waiting for! Take This Meow!"
Selene said excitedly, as for her, having delicious food was enough!
"Ahem! Um! You see, This Meow has always been treating you to meals and entertainment. This time at the lantern festival, how about Little Liu Guang treats This Meow to something good, how does that sound?!"
Fu Xuan began to set a trap for Selene.
"Of course! This Meow isn't a stingy person!"
"Alright! I'm putting it out there today! You! Fu Xuan! All your expenses today are on me!"
Selene looked at Fu Xuan and said very generously.
However, Fu Xuan slightly curved her lips, revealing a triumphant smile.
"You said it! A cat's word is as good as gold!"
Fu Xuan said with a mischievous smile.
Selene: ..."Why do I feel like something's off about you! You wouldn't be trying to pick the most expensive things, would you?! This Meow doesn't have that much money!"
Selene, realizing something was amiss, quickly warned Fu Xuan.
"Don't worry! This Meow isn't that kind of person! It will definitely be within a range you can accept!"
Fu Xuan hid her mischievous smile and said calmly.
"Phew! I knew my Fu Xuan Wife wouldn't deliberately mess with me!"
Selene said, giving Fu Xuan a peck on the cheek.
Fu Xuan: Oh no, I feel guilty now! I was originally planning to implement a salary recovery plan for this guy! But now I feel a bit reluctant!
...Fourth update delivered! Wuwuwuwu! Please give good reviews and power with love!!!
Oh, and regarding the chapter I wrote yesterday, I found many people saying it was awkward, and I also felt it was awkward. Mainly, I've never dated, let alone confessed, so it's all based on imagination!
