Some people's every move is like a bear rubbing against a tree; other people's every move is like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

In the rehabilitation room

Chi Yueshan was diligently doing exercises to help alleviate her back pain.

A few strands of her inky black hair stuck to her forehead. Drops of sweat slid down from the corner of her forehead, past her neck, and disappeared into the clothes on her chest.

Her cheeks had a tender pink glow from the exercise, and her sweaty skin was so white it seemed to shine.

Lu Xing didn't dare to stare directly, so he observed and studied with single-minded focus through the mirror on the wall.

He had just looked up Hao Haohao's information.

She really was the ancient Greek god of rehabilitation!

The exercises Hao Haohao taught Chi Yueshan were all master classes.

Essence!

Absolute essence!

The next time Lu Xing wanted to see Hao Haohao, he would have to pay a registration fee. Now, it was free to listen.

Learn, there is no end to learning!

Lu Xing had mastered so many skills, most of which he had learned through accompanying people like this.

The clients were rich.

The people who served them were also top figures in various industries.

When those people were teaching the essence of their knowledge...

Lu Xing would secretly improve on the side.

Hehe.

Learned another trick!

"Mmm..."

Chi Yueshan let out a muffled groan and fell weakly onto the mat.

Lu Xing forcibly held back his subconsciously extended hand.

The next second.

Chi Yueshan quickly got up again and returned to her previous posture.

She held the posture, looked up at Lu Xing, her eyes like autumn water, and explained with some grievance.

"I wasn't pretending to be pitiful just now."

She still didn't want to give up.

Since Lu Xing felt she was insincere, she would try her best to control these behaviors.

But...

For the past twenty-plus years, these things had already become integrated into her flesh and blood.

If she wanted to change, she could only slowly peel away the flesh and skin, until it was a bloody mess.

But these pains, compared to losing Lu Xing by her side...

Were just a little bit of wind and frost.

She would just change.

"Mm."

Lu Xing nodded, indicating that he understood.

Rehabilitation training, for people who have been traumatized, is a test of willpower.

If you can't endure it...

Then bye-bye, just quit this industry on the spot.

Clearly.

As someone who could learn daomadan at the opera school and still stand out, Chi Yueshan was a person who was extremely ruthless to herself.

She didn't make a sound when she was in pain, only let out a quiet, low gasp, so soft it made one's scalp tingle.

Lu Xing sat on the sofa, his left leg crossed over his right, lazy and ruthless.

He thought of his almost uncontrollable hand just now, propped up his head, and said thoughtfully.

"Is your occupational disease serious?"

Occupational disease?

Chi Yueshan was taken aback for a moment and looked up with difficulty.

"The injuries on my body?"

Lu Xing smiled and shook his head. "No."

As her thoughts spun, Chi Yueshan suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Are you talking about the tone, intonation, and movements of daily life?"

Lu Xing nodded.

Chi Yueshan was a little happy that she had guessed the meaning behind Lu Xing's words. Her thin, pink lips curved slightly.

"Of course, there is."

"Sometimes I'll suddenly stop talking. When people ask me what's wrong, I'll say I'm waiting for the interlude."

(TL: A musical term in opera.)

Hahaha!

Lu Xing couldn't hold it in and let out a laugh.

So, he wasn't the only one in this world whose professional habits were so ingrained.

Mm.

He felt a strange sense of comfort.

See? he thought to himself. That subconscious urge to help her just now was nothing more than an occupational disease.

Chi Yueshan secretly glanced at Lu Xing's happy expression, wanting to ask if his occupational disease was also very serious.

But she couldn't ask.

Lu Xing's profession was really special. What if she touched upon a wound of his?

This would simply be adding frost to the snow of their already shaky relationship.

It was rare for the two of them to be able to chat so harmoniously. She didn't want to ruin this atmosphere.

After thinking it over...

Chi Yueshan didn't want such a good atmosphere to fall silent, so she changed her posture and said casually.

"You can watch my movements more. They are all very standard. I'm Dr. Hao's star patient!"

"After you've memorized them, you can also learn to do them when your back hurts in the future."

Lu Xing smiled.

"You really have a lot of energy. Aren't you tired now?"

Hurry up and say you're tired.

Then he can personally see Chi Yueshan off in a taxi.

Only when he saw Chi Yueshan leave this place could he be at ease.

As an excellent professional simp, one must learn to extract key information from complex and trivial conversations.

For example, just now.

When he was listening to the conversation between Chi Yueshan and Hao Haohao, he learned about Chi Yueshan's regular hospital visits.

This was of great use!

Usually, Chi Yueshan would come to the hospital for rehabilitation treatment from Monday to Friday. This time was just an accident.

Thankfully, thankfully.

Lu Xing silently thanked the Jade Emperor, Buddha, the Three Pure Ones, and Amen. In short, anyone would do. Thank you for your blessings, thank you for your blessings!

(TL: Thank Amen? I don't think the author know a lot about Christianity.)

Anyway, he didn't come to the hospital from Monday to Friday.

If nothing unexpected happened, the two of them would never meet again in the future.

No.

I need to add another layer of insurance!

Seeing Chi Yueshan biting her lower lip as she did the exercises, Lu Xing said flatly.

"Will your waist never get better?"

Chi Yueshan was taken aback for a moment. Her three thousand strands of black hair cascaded down like a waterfall as she carefully savored the meaning of Lu Xing's words.

After a moment.

Chi Yueshan was enlightened.

She immediately denied it.

"No, my waist only hurts sometimes.

But it works very well."

"If you don't believe me, I can do ten fixed-point turns and continuous backflips for you right now."

Lu Xing: ...

Alright.

People are not tools. It's normal for them not to follow the script.

The next second.

Chi Yueshan's gaze fell on Lu Xing's hand. She caressed the mat under her and asked softly.

"What about your hand? Is it seriously injured?"

Yes!

Chi Yueshan! You are my one and only sister!

This is what I meant!

Lu Xing was happy. He hadn't expected the script to go off track for a bit and then come back!

So he thought for a moment and said with a relieved smile.

"It's just a little painful. If I had come to the hospital a little later, it would have healed on its own!"

Chi Yueshan let out a low laugh.

She still preferred to see Lu Xing so full of life.

Chi Yueshan said in a small voice, "What a pity."

"What's a pity?" Lu Xing asked her.

Chi Yueshan finally reached her limit and lay weakly on the mat, her inky black hair falling to her waist.

She said sullenly.

"It's a pity that I won't be able to see you at the hospital in the future."

Lu Xing forcibly suppressed the corners of his mouth, which wanted to lift, and said with some emotion.

"Life is always full of regrets."

Hahaha.

So good!

The insurance is set!

As expected of me!

But...

Lu Xing scratched his head, feeling like he had forgotten something.

...
