My Clingy Little Husband

Zhu Miaomiao's gossipy gaze darted back and forth between the two, a mysterious smile on her face, "What were you two secretly cuddling about?" Then she fixed her gaze on Sheng Qingzi, winking exaggeratedly at him, "Little brother Qingzi, how are you feeling now?"

Ever since Sheng Qingzi had deliberately sent them away, she knew what he was up to - he wanted to cultivate a relationship with Doctor Lu.

Beside her, Wen Qing also wore an unusually curious expression, a faint smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

Faced with Zhu Miaomiao's teasing this time, Sheng Qingzi clearly didn't resist as he had before. Instead, he lowered his eyes shyly, looking embarrassed.

But from her perspective, Sheng Qingzi might have been constrained by courtesy. At first, he had tried to stop the jokes from his close friends, but later he just let them continue unchecked.

In social interactions, good-natured jokes can liven up the atmosphere, but if they cause awkwardness and discomfort, they should stop.

...If he really did have feelings for her, then she should also make her stance clear, so as not to waste his time.

In the year since her soul had transmigrated, living under the original owner's identity, although she had been cautious in court affairs, her daily life had been quite comfortable, occasionally attending gatherings and listening to music.

Moreover, having possibly experienced life and death, she had come to view these matters of love very lightly, especially after that nightmare...

Lu Yuner stood up, her expression serious, and said solemnly, "Although I have only known Doctor Sheng for a few days, in my heart, Doctor Sheng is a very good man." As she spoke, she glanced at him, her gaze pure and filled with admiration.

In just a few short days, he had been of great help to her, taking her to the dining hall, helping her resolve teaching questions. He was indeed a very fine man.

Sheng Qingzi's pupils seemed to receive a huge shock, reflected in Lu Yuner's peach blossom eyes sparkling with tiny lights. A flash of delight passed through the depths of his eyes.

However, with Lu Yuner's next words, the smile on his face instantly froze, then disappeared completely, leaving a hint of desolation floating in his dimmed gaze.

Lu Yuner continued, "There is no romantic relationship between Doctor Sheng and myself. We are simply good friends, just like all of you. As he is a man, I hope you won't make such inappropriate jokes anymore, as they could damage his reputation and good name."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Miaomiao instinctively glanced at Sheng Qingzi's expression, while Wen Qing, coming to her senses after that speech, tried to ease the atmosphere by saying, "Doctor Lu, don't worry, we won't make such jokes in the future." She nudged Zhu Miaomiao with her elbow.

Zhu Miaomiao withdrew her gaze, finally realizing that this was clearly a case of unrequited love. Seeing that her mouth had caused trouble, she scratched the back of her head and immediately let out a silly laugh, "Haha! My bad, I won't make such jokes again in the future."

Lu Yuner also noticed the change in Sheng Qingzi's expression, but still smiled politely at him, "Doctor Sheng, is what I said alright?"

Although it might seem a bit cruel, such matters needed to be dealt with swiftly and decisively.

"Mm."

Sheng Qingzi forced out a bitter smile, his voice devoid of any emotion. The hand hidden under his white outer garment was clenched tightly, his fingernails digging into his palm, leaving deep red marks.

Seeing this, Wen Qing, understanding the situation, quickly changed the subject, "I heard you saved a female student in the dining hall today."

"How did you know?" Lu Yuner's surprise lasted only a moment before she regained her composure, believing in the speed of information spreading between people.

Zhu Miaomiao also became interested, excitedly saying, "It's all over the men's and women's academies! Oh! But where did you learn that abdominal thrust method? It's so effective! Have you studied medicine?"

As for where she learned it, she certainly wouldn't tell the truth. Lu Yuner smiled faintly and said, "I haven't studied medicine. I saw this in an ancient text I collected from folk sources some years ago. When I encountered a situation exactly as described in the text, I just followed what it said."

"Clap clap clap—" Suddenly, a few loud applause sounds were heard.

Everyone turned to look at Liu Bing, puzzled.

"Publicly defying the intentions of the Chief Steward, taking responsibility upon yourself, promising to bear the consequences, not being a doctor yet daring to save someone based solely on an ancient text - Doctor Lu, your courage is truly admirable!" Liu Bing gazed at Lu Yuner expressionlessly, her deep eyes conveying an inscrutable mystery.

With Liu Bing's words, Zhu Miaomiao and Wen Qing looked at Lu Yuner in disbelief, realizing that what seemed to be a praiseworthy act was actually a precarious situation with both advantages and disadvantages.

If it had succeeded, that was fine, but if it hadn't... Zhu Miaomiao and Wen Qing instantly drew a sharp breath, realizing that this indeed required great courage.

Sheng Qingzi was clearly also shocked, his stunned eyes filled with worry...

Lu Yuner's eyes focused, seeing that she spoke so clearly, it seemed she had been present at the time of the incident.

However, what surprised her was that this was the first time she had actively spoken to her. Or perhaps it wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but that she would speak when she wanted to, with a formidable insight that hit the nail on the head.

Lu Yuner pondered briefly, then said in a relaxed tone, "Although I'm not a doctor, such an incident occurred in my household before, so I do have some experience with this. Besides, a life is more important than anything else, so I couldn't consider other factors."

She wondered if this explanation would satisfy her.

After their gazes met, Liu Bing suddenly gave her a fleeting smile that disappeared instantly, then looked away expressionlessly.

Lu Yuner came to her senses, the corners of her eyes curving up in a smile. It seemed she wasn't easy to fool!

Zhu Miaomiao nodded in sudden understanding, immediately looking at her with admiring starry eyes, drawing out her words, "So that's how it is."

At first, she had thought Lu Yuner was alright, seeming proper and refined, but now she saw that this person quite suited her taste.

She patted Lu Yuner's shoulder without restraint, saying cheerfully, "In the future, if there's anything I can help with, just say the word!"

Lu Yuner had a sudden inspiration. Lifting her long, curved eyelashes, she smiled and continued along with Zhu Miaomiao's words, "Actually, there is something right now. In a few days, the women's academy will hold a polo match. General Liu wants to compete with me, and I could use your help."

"Huh?" Zhu Miaomiao frowned upon hearing this, muttering discontentedly under her breath, "It's with her!" She tried to make excuses, saying, "I'm afraid... I won't be free that day, my household..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wen Qing saw right through her and immediately exposed her, "She's making excuses!"

Sheng Qingzi also noticed her attempting to back out. He glanced at her coldly and said in an unfriendly tone, "Doctor Lu is one of us from the men's academy, representing our men's academy in the polo match. No matter what, you must help."

"Fine!" Zhu Miaomiao said weakly. Who told her to be so loose-lipped earlier!

"Doctor Lu, don't worry, I will bring the male students to watch your match!" Sheng Qingzi said with a beaming smile.

At this moment, he had already adjusted his emotions. Although Lu Yuner's words were like a stone thrown into the lake of his heart, causing quite a few ripples and shattering the beautiful expectations in his heart.

But so what? As long as she wasn't married, he still had a chance.

Lu Yuner's eyes curved into a smile, "Thank you!"
