“Something fishy?”

Shi Qingxue’s eyes lit up in an instant, and she stared at Shen Xiao, expecting her to explain.

In fact, after Qingxue heard Wei Ziye’s words, she thought that it was strange, but she couldn’t figure it out these days, while Shen Xiao, an outsider seemed to have found something wrong.

Shen Xiao shook her head and pouted, saying in a low voice, “It’s strange, yet we must focus on different points, so let’s talk about it after His Excellency wakes up.”

Shi Qingxue had to agree.

At this time, it happened that Mo Junyang opened his eyes.

Shi Qingxue subconsciously glanced at the sandy clock on the table. Two hours had passed exactly since Shen Xiao entered the room.

It was too magical.

Qingxue looked at Shen Xiao with wonderment. She was shocked and meanwhile had somebody to rely on.

She got confident again. Mo Junyang would be fine.

Sure.

Without delay, Shen Xiao bowed to Mo Junyang and checked his pulse while asking, “Your Excellency, how are you feeling now?”

Mo Junyang looked much better than he did before he fainted, and even his pale face became ruddy.

He subconsciously glanced at Shi Qingxue and was about to answer, while Shen Xiao put forth more strength on her finger on his wrist.

Shen Xiao stated seriously, “Your Excellency, I came to treat you. Please tell me frankly.”

After Shi Qingxue relaxed, she was more quick-minded than before obviously.

She noticed the weird interaction of the two at a glance. Then she sat on the bedside and said to Mo Junyang seriously, “Don’t lie to me. I know that you must be unwell. Xiao is superb in medical skills. As long as you tell her frankly, she can surely cure you.”

Qingxue knew that Mo Junyang hid everything from her because he didn’t want her to feel sad and anxious, while he could hide it for now but couldn’t hide it forever.

Sometimes she couldn’t understand Mo Junyang’s persistence. Even though she would feel sad, yet was it more important than his life and death?

If her sadness could make Mo Junyang healthy, she would rather feel sad to death.

However, Mo Junyang who could always weigh the pros and cons chose the worst way in something like this, which made her feel sad and helpless.

Fortunately, Mo Junyang didn’t hide it anymore this time. He kept silent for a while and then answered, “I don’t feel well. I am weak and want to sleep.”

“Want to sleep?”

Hearing Mo Junyang’s words, the two girls looked at him in surprise. Being weak was almost the commonest symptom of all the patients, and it was not surprising, but his eyes were clear, and he talked logically. It didn’t seem that he wanted to sleep.

Mo Junyang smiled bitterly and finally showed his weariness in his tone when he spoke once more. “If you know how hard I tried to maintain calm, you won’t be surprised.”

In another word, Mo Junyang pretended to be energetic.

At the moment, the two girls were so astonished that their jaws almost dropped.

Why was there such a man in the world? He didn’t forget to pretend even when he was sick, and he acted perfectly. Even Shen Xiao, a doctor didn’t notice it.

However, when it came to Mo Junyang, everything was logical seemingly.

Shen Xiao rolled her eyes speechlessly and didn’t know whether she should say that Mo Junyang was too abnormal or too capable. He could disguise even at this time.

Although Shen Luo and Shen Xiao took Mo Junyang as their master, seeing that Mo Junyang challenged the limit and didn’t take his health seriously, she still couldn’t help but rebuke, “Your Excellency, it’s not the time to play a cool man. You need to have a rest and keep the physical strength, and then you can continue to take medicine. If you mistreat yourself again, I am not sure that I can cure you.”

Any doctor didn’t like a disobedient patient, so Shen Xiao decided to frighten Mo Junyang before she continued with her treatment.

Unexpectedly, Mo Junyang still looked calm without a frown, which made Shi Qingxue anxious and scared. She hurriedly spoke for him.

“Xiao, don’t misunderstand it. Junyang is always like this. Don’t take it to heart. You are a doctor, and he will surely listen to you.”

Shi Qingxue said a lot anxiously and wanted to win Shen Xiao back.

Shen Xiao had never seen Shi Qingxue being so perplexed. She wasn’t like this even when she faced death on Mang Mountain. So Shen Xiao was in a good mood and wanted to tease her.

Then Mo Junyang glanced at her casually.

It seemed to be powerless, but Shen Xiao was covered with goose bumps. She kept quiet and obediently continued to check his pulse.

Nevertheless, nobody knew what she had found. She suddenly turned pale and looked up at Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang was confused under Shen Xiao’s gaze. “What’s wrong?”

Shen Xiao reached out her hand to Mo Junyang all of a sudden, but before she touched him, he grasped her wrist swiftly.

Even when Mo Junyang was sick, his martial arts couldn’t be underestimated.

It appeared that he acted gently, while he pinched Shen Xiao’s wrist with a crack, and she was so pained that she cried, “Ouch. It hurts so much. Let go of me!”

Mo Junyang loosened his hand a little so he wouldn’t crush the bone of Shen Xiao’s wrist, yet he didn’t let her go. He just stared at her unkindly.

Shen Xiao became cowardly and explained in a hurry, “I just want to check your back earlobe. I am not going to do anything else.”

“Check what?” Although Mo Junyang trusted Shen Xiao, it didn’t mean that he could allow anybody else to get close to him easily.

“I want to confirm something, but I will know only after I check your back earlobe!” Shen Xiao explained loudly.

She suddenly seemed to have more courage and asked in a rage, “Do you want me to treat you?”

Shen Xiao got angry and forgot the respectful form of address, while she didn’t have the nerve to shout that she would quit.

Mo Junyang stared at Shen Xiao’s face with his sharp eyes for a while and then patted her hand back. Then he grabbed Shi Qingxue’s hand and put it on his earlobe. “Check it.”

Shi Qingxue was puzzled.

Shen Xiao was shocked.

Fuck. She just came to treat the patient and save the world. Why was she so mentally tired?

She Qingxue felt awkward because of Mo Junyang’s sudden action. She wanted to withdraw her hand, while that man grasped it and put it on his earlobe.

It was so hot in this summer.

Shi Qingxue had such a thought flashing in her brain, and her cheeks got red, like two big apples.

“Check…check it!” She didn’t have the face to look at Shen Xiao’s reactions. She gritted her teeth and poked Mo Junyang’s plump earlobe, showing his back earlobe to Shen Xiao.

In the beginning, Shen Xiao wanted to mock at them. When she saw his back earlobe, she opened her eyes wide again and raised her trembling hand, pointing at Mo Junyang. “You…you…”

Mo Junyang got impatient because of Shen Xiao’s stutter and said in a deep voice, “Say it.”

Shen Xiao suddenly swallowed and her voice became serious at once. She told the two, stressing each word, “You are not infected with the epidemic but the ptomaine.”

“What?”

Shi Qingxue was confused by the unfamiliar word. Although Mo Junyang kept calm, he must not understand what Shen Xiao meant.

“The ptomaine is a kind of poison produced and existing in the cankered dead bodies after they die of an illness and won’t infect the living people, yet once somebody is infected, he will die if he is not cured properly and timely.”

There was no smile on Shen Xiao’s face, and she slowly spoke out what she had guessed these days. “In fact, when I was in Beipo Town and heard about the horrible epidemic in Jiangzhou, I thought that this so-called epidemic came weirdly and was different from any of the epidemics that I had seen before, but it was like the ptomaine.

“However, as I said before, the ptomaine won’t infect the living people, while so many people died in this disaster, and it was caused by the infection at a glance, so I thought that it was not the ptomaine. Unexpectedly…”

“Wait.” Shi Qingxue interrupted Shen Xiao in a low voice.

Shen Xiao raised her eyes and motioned for her to ask.

Shi Qingxue asked, “You said that generally it won’t infect the living people, so it is possible. How will the ptomaine infect the living people?”

The expression on Shen Xiao’s face became odd instantly, and she avoided Shi Qingxue’s eyes seeking knowledge, coughing twice. Seeing that she couldn’t avoid it, she gritted her teeth and responded, “If the living people eat the ptomaine, they will be infected with the ptomaine at once.”

“But didn’t you say that the ptomaine is hidden in the cankered dead bodies? How is it…” Shi Qingxue thought of something that might happen and felt a shiver down her spine. She was absolutely terrified.

She stuttered, “No, no way!”

How could a person eat another person?

Shen Xiao didn’t talk about if it was possible but continued, “I was surprised earlier. Why haven’t you been infected with the epidemic after you eat and stay with His Excellency for nearly half a month? It’s impossible that you are in good health and won’t be infected. But if it is the ptomaine, it makes sense.”

“Wait!” Shi Qingxue was confused and didn’t think that it made sense.

“How do you think Junyang was infected?”

The two girls looked at Mo Junyang at the same time, showing that they were hesitant as they wanted to say something yet were afraid that it would irritate the patient so they didn’t dare to say anything.

Mo Junyang was surprised only when Shen Xiao mentioned the ptomaine. Then he kept calm even when they gazed at him with two pairs of big eyes.

He moved his thin lips calmly. “I was injured.”

“Ah?”

“Ah?”

The two girls looked confused and stared at Mo Junyang blankly.

It was too difficult to guess what Mo Junyang was thinking about. Neither of them knew whether he didn’t understand their confusion or he intentionally played dumb or they were so stupid that they didn’t understand what his injury had to do with being infected with the ptomaine.

Mo Junyang continued unhurriedly, “If I guess right, except eating the food with the ptomaine, people will be infected through blood, right?”

Shen Xiao’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and she nodded in confusion.

Didn’t Mo Junyang know anything about the medical skills? He was so learned all of a sudden, which made her, a doctor have no sense of achievement.

“So I was infected.” Mo Junyang gave a conclusion impassively.

Shen Xiao still looked like a stupid and adorable girl and turned to Shi Qingxue in a daze. “Qingxue, do you know what it means?”

Shi Qingxue showed a knowing smile, and obviously, she understood what Mo Junyang meant. She even reached out her hand to rub the little girl’s hairy head, asking with a smile, “Fine. Since you have found that Junyang was infected with the ptomaine, you will be able to cure him, right?”

“Of course!” Shen Xiao answered without thinking and subconsciously raised her chin, like an arrogant peacock.

However, after answering, Shen Xiao looked more confused.

Hey, she was the most capable doctor, right? Why did the other two know it seemingly? But only she still couldn’t figure out how Mo Junyang was poisoned.

It was shameful to bully a doctor.

Be careful. She would quit the job.

Shi Qingxue was amused by Shen Xiao’s expression in a sulk and couldn’t help but rub the little girl’s head again, explaining, “Junyang was injured, so he must have a wound.”

It was so convenient to spread through blood.

Shen Xiao finally showed that she was suddenly enlightened.
