Creak, the door opened.
A small head peeked in.
Seeing the sneaky Xu Fei, Lin Yunxi said angrily, "What are you doing over there?"
"Just checking if Yang Feilong is awake! And if you two were secretly doing anything lewd!" Xu Fei chuckled.
Lin Yunxi's face flushed: "What nonsense are you talking about? We're just friends."
"Just friends? I don't believe that!" Xu Fei was a million percent unconvinced. When Uncle Tie Rushan came in earlier and then left with a red face, he clearly saw something inappropriate. I wonder if it was a kiss? He didn't say anything when asked.
"Of course." Lin Yunxi said righteously, and then looked deeply at Yang Feilong, saying, "Feilong, am I right?"
"Ahem. Of course, we are good friends, um, good buddies." Yang Feilong said seriously, though what they had just done didn't seem like something good buddies would do.
Because he had never seen purely good friends, good buddies, help each other put on socks and shoes. It was too gay!
Of course, this was their secret. Yang Feilong would never tell. He understood the threat in Lin Yunxi's eyes. If he revealed what they had just done, Lin Yunxi would probably get really angry!
"Good buddies? Heh heh, Yang Feilong, where did you get the lipstick on your lips? Can good buddies share lipstick?" Xu Fei stared at Yang Feilong's lips with a smile.
"Ah? Lipstick?" Yang Feilong touched his lips and indeed, it was lipstick, a pale red one. You wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely. He had to admit, Xu Fei had sharp eyes to see that.
Yang Feilong had felt something was off earlier but couldn't pinpoint it. Now that Xu Fei mentioned it, he suddenly understood where the discrepancy was. His lips felt slightly sticky. Even though it was high-quality lipstick, there was still a difference between wearing it and not wearing it. His senses were usually sharp, but he hadn't looked in a mirror, so he hadn't noticed when someone had put lipstick on his lips.
Yang Feilong instinctively looked at Lin Yunxi.
"Why are you looking at me?" A flicker of panic crossed Lin Yunxi's eyes, but she quickly said with a calm expression, "You were asleep earlier, and I saw your lips were too dry, so I used my lipstick to apply some."
Of course, internally, she was far from as calm as she appeared. Tie Rushan knew the inside story, but she believed Uncle Tie wouldn't reveal it.
"Is that so?" Yang Feilong was relieved. He trusted his good friends. Besides, he vaguely felt that he had been very thirsty earlier and had even drunk some water. Perhaps that was just a misperception caused by his dry lips.
"Of course." Lin Yunxi was very composed now. After all, something more embarrassing had happened earlier. No one had seen it directly this time, so why should she panic?
However, she was still worried. Would Uncle Tie expose her?
Thinking back to the unrestrained kiss with Yang Feilong earlier, her heart still fluttered like a trapped bird. What made it even more awkward was that someone had seen it, and it was the respected Uncle Tie. She felt a little resentful towards Uncle Tie. He had always been steady, so why hadn't he knocked before entering?
He didn't realize that when Xu Fei left earlier, the door hadn't been completely closed. Tie Rushan, worried about Yang Feilong's safety, had rushed over as soon as the medicine was ready, not thinking about anything else.
The main thing was that he hadn't expected Lin Yunxi to be so bold, to be sleeping with Yang Feilong in broad daylight and to be kissing him.
He could only sigh, "Young people nowadays are so bold!"
Of course, just as Lin Yunxi suspected, Tie Rushan was quite tight-lipped. Although he had seen the scene, he hadn't spread it around.
"Is Feilong awake?" Just then, Tie Rushan's voice came from outside the door.
"He's awake." Xu Fei said with a smile, then pushed open the door and walked in.
Tie Rushan, Tie Yunhan, also walked in with a smile.
"Feilong, how are you feeling now?" Tie Yunhan asked with concern.
"I'm fine. It was just that I consumed too much energy and was too exhausted, coupled with some old hidden ailments, that caused me to faint." Yang Feilong said with a light smile.
"Alas, I truly owe you my life this time!" Tie Rushan looked at Yang Feilong with gratitude.
He knew his own condition. Doctors from other martial arts associations had given him a death sentence. Yet, under such circumstances, Yang Feilong had saved him single-handedly, preserved his cultivation, and even helped him break through his bottleneck. All of this was thanks to Yang Feilong. How could he not be grateful?
The grace of saving a life is like being reborn. This was no exaggeration!
"Uncle Tie, you're too kind. I still owed you a favor before. This is just returning that favor." Yang Feilong shook his head with a smile.
"The favors before were all in my favor. This time, it's an immense kindness." Tie Rushan shook his head, disagreeing. "If you ever need anything, just ask me. I, Tie Rushan, am not an ungrateful person. As long as I'm alive, I will do my best!"
"Uncle Tie, you're being too formal!" Yang Feilong said helplessly.
"This is not formality!" Tie Rushan said, then asked, "This is some medicine I brewed. I originally intended for you to take it..."
Hearing this, Lin Yunxi quickly interjected. She was worried that Tie Rushan would reveal that she had secretly kissed Yang Feilong. She quickly said, "Later, I thought that since you are a doctor and he only fainted due to exhaustion, he shouldn't take medicine randomly, which might cause problems. So I asked Uncle Tie to take it back!"
Tie Rushan blinked. Alright, he understood Lin Yunxi's meaning. She didn't want Yang Feilong to know about her secret kiss. After all, for a girl to do something like that was a bit out of line and embarrassing. It was normal for her not to want the person she liked or outsiders to know!
He naturally knew about Lin Yunxi's feelings for Yang Feilong.
"This medicine doesn't really make a difference to me whether I take it or not. But I'd rather not. I was just exhausted. After sleeping for over an hour, I've recovered both physically and mentally." Yang Feilong shook his head. "However, this medicine is a tonic. Uncle Tie, you can drink it yourself. After all, you need to rest in bed for a while longer after waking up. Drinking this medicine will compensate for the slight effects of not resting."
"Ah?" Tie Rushan blinked. He felt very healthy. But Yang Feilong was a doctor, and a brilliant one at that. It was always best to follow a doctor's advice. Hearing this, he drank the medicine.
He just felt it was a bit strange, but he didn't think much of it.
