Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 245
Chapter 245 She Was Drugged Again
“Check her condition.”
Chu Yunshen stood not far from the door and instructed indifferently. He did not look at Mu Bai, who was soaking his feet in a dark black potion that was filled with strange medicinal herbs.
“Carry her over then. I need to soak for another hour.”
Mu Bai ordered directly too. Unlike Xiaowu and the others, although he was also Chu Yunshen’s subordinate, more often than not, Mu Bai and Chu Yunshen were more like friends who could talk about everything under the sun.
Chu Yunshen admired Mu Bai’s medical skills, and Mu Bai cherished Chu Yunshen’s appreciation of him.
Therefore, sometimes, Chu Yunshen would tease Mu Bai when he was in a good mood. Although Mu Bai would address Chu Yunshen as “Master”, he would be a little overboard at times. Because of this, Xiaowu confronted Mu Bai and reprimanded him, and the matter ended with Xiaowu lying on the ground with white foams at his mouth after being poisoned by Mu Bai.
At the moment, Chu Yunshen did not mind Mu Bai’s matter-of-fact tone. He carefully carried the Persian cat to Mu Bai’s side. Mu Bai extended his hand to take the cat from him. After the hands trembled for a long time, Chu Yunshen finally reluctantly handed the Persian cat to Mu Bai.
“I can hold her while you check on her.”
Chu Yunshen frowned slightly as he stared at Mu Bai’s unprofessional posture of holding the cat in dismay.
Mu Bai didn’t respond to Chu Yunshen. He was now checking on the cat meticulously, trying to find the reason why she was unconscious. He had just finished checking the cat’s eyes and ears.
Chu Yunshen felt a little unsettled as the warmth in his embrace was missing. He stared at Mu Bai’s actions intensely.
Mu Bai had already begun to open the Persian cat’s mouth to check. Chu Yunshen watched his rough actions and finally could not help but urge, “Be careful, don’t hurt her.”
“Say, when did you become so naggy? Do you not trust my skills?”
Mu Bai’s pet peeve was that he didn’t like people pointing fingers at him when he was practicing medicine and questioning his medical skills. If the person weren’t Chu Yunshen, Mu Bai would have stopped the diagnosis and asked him to get out.
However, the main reason why Mu Bai dared to ridicule him like this was because he was a little irritated. Every time, it was because of this cat that Chu Yunshen would treat him and the other men differently.
It just happened to be because of the Persian cat.
Mu Bai and the men would be relieved if it were for a woman. After all, Chu Yunshen had been single for years, and the men were anxious about his relationship department.
Chu Yunshen couldn’t be bothered by these backseat drivers though. In the past, he had always been indifferent and aloof toward all the matters. But now, he had a favorite, but it was a cat! He favored a Persian cat that was a gift from another country.
Speaking of women, Mu Bai thought of the noise he heard at the door just now.
“By the way, Master, I think I heard a woman’s voice in your room just now. Did I hear it wrong?” Mu Bai did not slow down on his diagnosis, but his expression indicated that he recalled something.
Chu Yunshen’s body stiffened awkwardly, but he donned the usual indifferent expression. “That’s your illusion.”
“I think so too. How could you have a woman in such a place?”
Mu Bai did not pursue the question any further and just continued to examine the cat.
Chu Yunshen was still watching Mu Bai’s every move from the side. It was not until Mu Bai stopped what he was doing and handed the Persian cat back to him that he turned his eyes to the sleeping Persian cat in his arms.
“What happened to her?”
Chu Yunshen reached out and stroked the Persian cat’s hot little ears. The cat unconsciously shifted her body in her sleep, as if she wanted to avoid Chu Yunshen’s touch.
“She was drugged. It’s just a small dose of the drug. Feed her some sugar water and she will be fine.”
Mu Bai handed the handkerchief in his hand to Chu Yunshen. Unexpectedly, Chu Yunshen carried the cat out and wanted to walk out of the room directly.
“Where are you going?” Mu Bai shouted in confusion from behind Chu Yunshen.
“Prepare the sugar water.”
Chu Yunshen’s voice sounded so calm and natural that no one could find any problems with it. At this moment, Chu Yunshen did not seem to realize his identity at all, as well as his habit of never caring about such trivial matters.
“Pre…” Mu Bai was taken aback by Chu Yunshen’s serious tone and almost couldn’t speak. “Why would you do that? Let me do it! I have it in my room.”
Mu Bai didn’t dare to let Prince Jing, who seemed to have become another person, prepare sugar water in his room. Otherwise, Xiaowu, the loyal servant, might intimidate him with his sword when he returned.
He carefully folded the handkerchief in his hand and stuffed it into his sleeve. Regardless of the soaking time, he casually wiped his feet with a white cotton cloth, put on his shoes, and began to rummage through the medicine box he had put on the bedside table. While searching, he mocked, “Why are you in such a hurry?”
“I already said that she was drugged with a small amount of drug, that’s why I asked you to feed her sugar water. It’s nothing serious.” After taking out a white porcelain bottle, Mu Bai walked to the table and began to pour water. He deliberately pointed to the glass and said to Chu Yunshen, “Don’t worry, this is new.”
After Mu Bai finished speaking, Chu Yunshen finally relaxed his tightly knitted eyebrows.
The thick sugar powder quickly dissolved in the water. Chu Yunshen first carefully cradled the cat in his embrace. Then, using his arm as support, he carefully propped the cat’s head straight and slowly held the glass of sugar water toward the cat.
Miraculously, as the glass was near to the cat’s mouth, she twitched her nose, opened her mouth, and began to lick the sugar water in the glass.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Persian cat’s eyes were still closed, Mu Bai would have thought that the cat was not drugged at all and was merely trying to see if he was as professional as he claimed.
“Master, this cat is interesting. It seems to be getting smarter.” Perhaps he felt that the Persian cat’s actions were very interesting, Mu Bai actually took the initiative to talk to Chu Yunshen. In usual times, Mu Bai would ignore the cat, let alone mention it.
Despite that, Chu Yunshen didn’t want to give a damn to Mu Bai now. After the cat finished the glass of sugar water, Chu Yunshen handed the empty glass to Mu Bai and gestured to the latter to go to the table and refill it.
Since Mu Bai failed to strike up a conversation, he compliantly took the glass and went to refill it under Chu Yunshen’s watchful gaze.
When the cat finished the third glass of sugar water, her eyelids began to tremble slightly, and the eyeballs under her eyelids kept turning.
“Meow…”
The Persian cat finally let out a weak purr, but it soon froze without further movements.
Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that her whole body was aching as if she had been beaten up. Her throat was extremely dry, and her body temperature was extremely high. In her hazy state, she seemed to have seen Chu Yunshen, and then she had a very long dream with Chu Yunshen in it.
However, Cheng Xiaoxiao could not remember what was she dreaming about.
Cheng Xiaoxiao’s memory stopped after she fell off the wall and Chu Yunshen caught her. As for what happened after that, Cheng Xiaoxiao presumed that Chu Yunshen had brought her to Mu Bai after she was unconscious. Nothing should have happened in between.
In fact, it was just right that she could not remember anything. If she remembered that she had done such heroic deeds to Chu Yunshen earlier, she would have to cover her face in front of Chu Yunshen out of embarrassment.
Fortunately, the current Cheng Xiaoxiao was only shocked by her hoarse voice. She had no idea that a knockout drug could lead to fever, and her throat was so dry she started to sound like a duck. Would the fever affect her brain?
As if the cat have pressed an “on” switch, she suddenly shook her head in Chu Yunshen’s embrace and gave herself a long stretch.
Chu Yunshen and Mu Bai had been paying attention to the Persian cat’s every move since she woke up. Chu Yunshen had been observing all along, while Mu Bai was simply curious about whether his treatment worked or not.
He chose not to tell Chu Yunshen that he had read this method in the ancient book. The book said that it would be effective for people who were slightly poisoned, and it was mainly based on the person’s physique.
However, seeing that the Persian cat had regained her consciousness, Mu Bai was completely relieved. Judging from her condition, despite her weak look, she needed only a few days of rest to recover.
Thinking of the cat’s drug, Mu Bai quickly took out the handkerchief that he had put away and carefully handed it to Chu Yunshen.
“Look at this. You interjected me just now, and I nearly forgot about such an important thing.”
Mu Bai’s words attracted the attention of Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was still in a daze.
When Cheng Xiaoxiao woke up, she was wondering why Chu Yunshen seemed to keep a distance from her. Moreover, when she stretched her body, he looked like he did not dare to touch her. It was as if she was suffering from an extremely infectious disease instead of passing out just now.
“What’s wrong? Is my illness contagious?”
She snuggled into Chu Yunshen’s embrace forcefully. She chose the most comfortable position before looking at Mu Bai with interest and waiting for him to continue.
Noticing the cat’s series of actions, Chu Yunshen became even more restless.
Chu Yunshen did not know how to face the Persian cat since she completely woke up, so before the cat looked at him, he deliberately shifted his gaze to other places.
However, the more he pretended not to care about her, the more obvious her every move was.
Although Chu Yunshen turned his head away, he clearly knew every move the cat make. He could even imagine the cat’s gaze and expression at this time.
He wanted to take a deep breath, but he was worried that it would be too obvious, so he slowly exhaled the turbid air in his lungs and slowly inhaled a breath of fresh air. When he successfully suppressed the emotional turbulence in his eyes and the cat finished stretching her limbs, Chu Yunshen turned his gaze back in feigned indifference.
However, he had no courage to face the cat’s eyes directly. He could feel that the cat could see through his heart and mind, although he himself did not know what he was thinking.
