Chapter 317 The real spousal relationship
“Use your hand to help me!” Meng Xuan said.
He Danggui felt that she was burning from the roots of her hair to the tips of her toes. What nonsense did he talk? Was he insane?!
He actually said such words to her! What rude behavior! He was such a shameless bastard! Thinking that she had allowed him to enter her room and sleep on her bed many times, she almost wanted to pierce this man’s forehead with all her silver needles. She just wanted him to masturbate himself in hell!
Meng Xuan tirelessly wailed and begged, “I am really dying! The fire is devouring me! Xiaoyi, you are a doctor, and you know the consequences. People usually say that every doctor has a sympathetic heart. Do you really want me to be infertile? Besides, I am your future husband. Help me is helping yourself!”
He Danggui covered her ears and backed away. She shook her head and said, “I don’t understand what you are talking about. Stop tricking me. I won’t do that! I won’t!” She was so excited that she was choked by her own saliva. She coughed and told Meng Xuan, “Ahem, I will never marry you. Perish the thought! Ahem, I am going to prepare the medicine now. That’s it!” At the time, she began to recall the formula of the medicinal bath for cooling blood that she used for Gao Jue and Lu Jiangbei after they were infected by Jinfeng Yulu Powder several years ago. She wanted to let Meng Xuan take the medicinal bath.
Meng Xuan’s face was flushed, and the sweat kept dripping down. He stared at her inconceivably and asked, “You don’t want to marry me? We are almost like a real couple, but you still refuse to marry me!” Either she or he was crazy!
He Danggui looked at the miserable Meng Xuan coldly. Was this his conspiracy? Hypocritically agreeing to her monogamous request and then poking her acupuncture point to rape her? As for her wishes, they all should go to hell. He still would have many concubines and live a perfect life with a big family.
She felt breathless and turned her face away. She replied objectively, “You and I are far from the real couple. I have not lost my virginity, and you are not my beloved. I don’t know how other women would react to this situation.” She glanced at Meng Xuan’s wide-open eyes and continued slowly, “But I will never marry a villain who tried to rape a woman because of fame.”
A villain who tried to rape a woman? Meng Xuan was stunned. He gasped for fresh air to relieve the pain of being in lust. Was this the impression he left to her? Far from a real couple? That was to say that Xiaoyi knew what a couple would do. That’s right! Zhu Quan had already taught her this, and they were a couple theoretically…
Meng Xuan panted heavily, not knowing which flame was burning more intensely. The one in his heart? Or the one down there. Looking at He Danggui’s face which liked an ice sculpture, he smiled sadly and asked, “Where is your sympathy? Are you really this cruel enough to see me die here? You once said, ‘As long as there are diseases, doctors will naturally cure patients. When a patient is sick, he also has no right to choose what kind of disease he wants to or not to get. Can a doctor choose what disease he should diagnose or shouldn’t? You are really naive, Meng Xuan! Doctors who diagnose diseases can be divided into high and low classes. Some are imperial doctors and others are ordinary doctors. But there is no difference between cold and sexual dysfunction. I don’t think the latter is embarrassing.’ In this case, I have no right to choose what kind of disease I want to or not to get, and you caused my problem with your needles. So why don’t you treat me?”
He proficiently recited what He Danggui said to him in the bamboo forest in Chengxu Academy back then. He remembered every word she said. Last time, He Danggui blamed him for not trusting her enough and doubting her medical ethics and integrity. As a result, he had reflected on himself. In fact, he trusted her too much and regarded her as part of himself. Therefore, he couldn’t help but demand her as strictly as he asked himself. That was a misunderstanding.
Before coming to Luo’s Family, he really wanted to talk to her and cleared up the misunderstandings. However, when he arrived here, he heard that she was seriously ill. Therefore, he flew to Tao Yao Yard to see her. But what did he see?! Before his passion was extinguished, it was frozen like an ice sculpture. He watched her making out with another man in the distance. The pain caused by this woman named He Danggui had been hidden in the deepest corner of his heart. He didn’t want to mention it even one more time, but it didn’t mean that his wound was healed.
His precious girl sprinkled on his wound a handful of salt. He had hated her, and he even had a crazy idea of killing her. However, once he saw her, he would lose himself and just become part of her shadow. He could only move with her movement and only watch her silently.
As long as she looked back at him, he would become vivid. As long as she was willing to turn around and hug him, he would be alive and embrace spring. All his anger, jealousy, cruelty, and evil intentions would be suppressed. At the moment, he would rather hurt himself than hurt her. He only showed her his tenderness and looked forward to winning her back with it. Finally, she bowed her head today and smiled at the shadow on the ground. Her smile lingered before his eyes for a long time…
He Danggui smiled coldly and said, “Childe Meng, you don’t have to be worried. Of course, I will treat you, but I don’t know the method you said. Be patient. I will find you a solution.” This man took this as a universal excuse. She just poked him several times, but he seemed to be crazy. What an unreasonable man. What should she do now? Send him to the brothel?
Meng Xuan’s willpower collapsed for a moment and he spoke without thinking over, “You don’t know? Didn’t Zhu Quan teach you? I saw you helping him that day.”
...
After a long pause, He Danggui spoke in a calm tone, “What I have done with Zhu Quan has nothing to do with you. Only couples can do this. You and me are doctor and patient. We can’t do this, and it’s against the principle of feudal moral conduct and the principles of medical science. Since you are in good spirits, I should better leave you space to rest. You should save your strength and not talk too much. Now…” While saying, she stepped forward to poke his mute acupoint. Then, she closed the curtain and left there.
She gradually walked far away and wouldn’t go back.
She had admitted that it should happen between couples. She and Zhu Quan?
Meng Xuan, who was dumb now, watched her walk away through the curtain. “Squeak—” The door was opened and closed. His poisonous words turned the soft-hearted Xiaoyi into a female warrior wearing armor. After hearing his words, his Xiaoyi no longer wanted to look back at that shadow again…
Meng Xuan closed his eyes and meditated incantations to expel the desire and despair.
After He Danggui went out, she felt everything was ridiculous. The most ridiculous person was herself, followed by Meng Xuan, and the last one was the Meng Xuan from three years later.
She told Meng Xuan that she liked him. She was always so indifferent to him before but suddenly confessed to him. Even a fool could tell that it was a lie. However, she thought that Meng Xuan was moved by her and even stupidly dedicated herself to him because of that Meng Xuan from three years later. Even if they were the same person, they had different attitudes towards her. Sure enough, people were different when they got misunderstanding.
Three years later, Meng Xuan would become considerate and gentle just because they would clarify the misunderstanding after wedding night. He didn’t respect her and cherish her until he learned that she had not lost her virginity to Zhu Quan. In addition, in the next three years, he would even dig out the secret of Zhu Quan’s Love Poison, which proved that Zhu Quan didn’t love her at all. He went crazy for three years just because of this poison. When he was recovered, he became the reassuring Lord Ning again.
In other words, although Meng Xuan, who didn’t know the truth now, loved her very much, he didn’t respect her now, and his love came from nowhere. He probably viewed her as an easy girl, who wouldn’t refuse anyone coming to her. He thought that he could also do what Zhu Quan could do. The difference was that Zhu Quan walked away irresponsibly yet Meng Xuan took it on his shoulder. He was willing to give her a name so that she could have a good marriage after sleeping with a man.
With such affectionate and great spirit of sacrifice, Meng Xuan was really a good man. She had met hundreds of men in her previous life, such as the Taoist Sage Bai Yangbai, the naive Peng Jian and the passionate Duan Xiaolou. None of them would bear to be a cuckold. Meng Xuan was really a good man.
Now, this man was lying in her room with a serious problem caused by her. As long as she helped him get rid of the fire of desire, the misunderstanding between her and him would be completely solved. In that case, Zhu Quan would no longer be a problem.
Meng Xuan, a strange man with a similar experience to her, not only had a strong and gentle personality, but was a generous and inclusive guy. If they got married in the future, he would suppress his anger even if he was told that she had cheated on him. He would protect her in any situation as a strong man and would become a gentleman for her when she needed him. He was really a special gift for her. However, he even said, “You don’t know? Didn’t Zhu Quan teach you? I saw you helping him that day.” After she heard those words, the misunderstanding might be hard to eliminate forever.
Meng Xuan, no, she couldn’t get married with him! His temperature was too scorching! He was crazier and more prudent than Duan Xiaolou. Sooner or later, the people around her would be threatened the safety if she married this man. Therefore, she must stay away from him…
“Xiaoyi, I just hope that if I make any mistakes in the future, or I let you be sad or disappointed, you would go straight to tell me and correct my problems. The Meng Xuan three years ago doesn’t know how to be a good lover, but I hope you could teach him and don’t abandon him, okay?” These words suddenly lingered in her ears.
The request came from the Meng Xuan from the future. At the time, he was almost a dead man. She had promised him, but now she was going back on her words. She turned her back on a dying Meng Xuan and left the living one in the room alone… At this moment, Meng Xuan in the room must be regretful and painful…
She saw his regretful face after he said those words, but she still chose to leave him alone and ran out of the room.
Not giving someone who had already known his fault the chance to apologize was the harshest punishment—she thought this way.
But, why should she punish him? Meng Xuan was just blinded by the misunderstanding…
“Squeak—” The door opened again.
Being depressed, Meng Xuan raised his eyes. Xiaoyi was coming back! Her face showed no emotions; her eyes were as placid as water with no intentions. However, she untied the silk knot around her waist.
Xiaoyi…was walking towards him while…undressing her clothes!
