Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 280 The Beginning of Self-Reproach

"Has Mr. Nian Duan finished reading the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic?"

Xu Lin asked calmly.

Nian Duan is very tense and needs to relax, so he plans to chat with Nian Duan while making progress.

"not yet."

"I've read about half of it."

Nian Duan answered truthfully.

Then he pursed his very dry, thin lips.

Seeing this, Xu Lin handed Nian a bowl of boiled water.

Nian Duan sat up, raised his neck, and drank the boiled water in the bowl in one gulp.

Then she lay down, placing one hand on her lower abdomen and the other on her collar.

Xu Lin smiled calmly after seeing this scene.

Then the attack began.

His technique was very gentle, so Nian Duan was not too resistant to it.

Xu Lin was not in a hurry. He lingered outside the mountain for about fifteen minutes before slowly walking into the mountain.

"I wonder if Mr. Nian Duan has ever thought about getting married?"

Xu Lin asked as he climbed the mountain.

"I thought about it more than ten years ago."

"But I haven't met the right one yet."

Nian Duan turned her head to one side.

In terms of patience, she was similar to Madam Hu, and even more patient than Madam Hu!

Xu Lin nodded and stopped halfway up the mountain.

……

Less than half an hour later.

Xu Lin reached the summit as he had hoped.

Nian Duan covered her face with both hands and retreated again and again until she was squeezed into a corner with nowhere left to go.

Seeing that Nian Duan was getting into the swing of things, Xu Lin smiled.

Then he bent down.

Nian Duan refused again, because it wasn't mentioned in the book, so she felt Xu Lin's request was unreasonable!

Xu Lin was not angry when he saw this.

There are two reasons.

First, he dislikes forcing people to do things against their will.

Secondly, today is just the beginning, or rather the prologue. How could a cure only be given once?
……

After a stick of incense.

Nian Duan's brows furrowed tightly, her thin lips almost bleeding from being bitten.

Even so, she remained silent, demonstrating her remarkable endurance, which was no less than that of Madam Hu!

In Xu Lin's view, any defense will have weaknesses, so Nian Duan will lose sooner or later.

After more than ten breaths, Xu Lin went with the flow and accepted Nian Duan's suggestion.

"How are you feeling, Mr. Nianduan?"

Xu Lin asked.

"I didn't feel anything special."

Nian Duan forced himself to remain calm and said.

If Xu Lin doesn't stop, her leg is going to cramp up!

"is it?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the bronze mirror not far away.

Although Nian Duan looked a little disheveled, his complexion was much better than before!

Xu Lin wanted Nian Duan to clean up the battlefield, but Nian Duan obviously wouldn't agree, so Xu Lin didn't do it as usual.

After treating Nian Duan, Xu Lin quickly washed up and copied a copy of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic.

Nian Duan, her hair completely wet, wanted to take a bath, but she didn't have the strength.

Therefore, she chose to rest under the quilt.

She is very sleepy.

When Duanmu Rong returned, Nian Duan was already asleep.

Seeing that Nian Duan was sleeping soundly and her cheeks had regained their rosy color, Xu Lin looked satisfied. He then helped Nian Duan cover herself with the blanket and left the study.

Next, I began to teach Duanmu Rong how to purify coarse salt.

……

More than half an hour later.

Duanmu Rong had learned how to purify coarse salt, and it was almost midnight by then.

"Fine salt not only looks better, but it's also healthier."

"Therefore, you and your master should stop eating coarse salt from now on."

Xu Lin squatted down, pinched Duanmu Rong's cheek, and gave her some instructions.

"it is good!"

Duanmu Rong nodded vigorously.

Then I wrote down all the key points that Xu Lin had mentioned.

"gentlemen."

"Can the methods in the book really cure Master's illness?"

After finishing writing, Duanmu Rong blinked her big eyes and asked. Although Nian Duan had always been strict with her, Nian Duan was both a teacher and a mother to her!

Duanmu Rong knew the saying that a doting mother often spoils her daughter, so she could understand Nian Duan.

"of course."

Xu Lin said without hesitation.

"But how did you know that the method in the book could save your master?"

"Did you peek at that book?"

Xu Lin probed.

"I……"

Duanmu Rong gently bit her lower lip.

She wanted to deny it, but how could she possibly fool Xu Lin if she rarely lied?
"It won't hurt to see it."

"But that book isn't suitable for you."

"To be precise, it's not suitable for your current perspective."

Xu Lin said gently.

"I won't watch it anymore."

Duanmu Rong nodded obediently.

Seeing this, Xu Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and then taught Duanmu Rong a few moves.

"It's getting late, I should head back."

"The method in the book can cure your master's illness, but your master's illness is the result of overwork and cannot be cured overnight."

"Therefore, she should not stay up late during her treatment."

“If she continues to stay up late and doesn’t take care of her health, you can write to me and ask her to rest.”

Xu Lin said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Duanmu Rong nodded vigorously.

Then he saw Xu Lin out of the mansion.

Nian Duan had just woken up.

Not only has her complexion improved significantly, but her lips are no longer as dry, and her internal strength has also increased considerably.

And he even seems younger?

Nian Duan looks to be at most twenty-five years old.

Nian Duan had just finished tidying up the room when Duanmu Rong came in.

After confirming that Nian Duan's complexion had improved, Duanmu Rong was overjoyed and left the study.

After Duanmu Rong walked away, Nian Duan took her nightgown and went to the bathroom.

As soon as she lay down in the bathtub, Nian Duan thought of Xu Lin.

Xu Lin was very gentle just now, completely different from his usual self!
"I wonder how long one treatment will last?"

After a long while, Nian Duan murmured.

After saying this, she put on her nightgown and returned to her study.

Not only has she stopped coughing, but she's also full of energy. She's determined to finish the book she hadn't completed before!

Because her legs were still a little sore, Nian Duan did not kneel as usual, but instead chose to sit diagonally.

At this moment, Nian Duan was more feminine and less cold than before.

Nian Duan is usually very strict, her beautiful eyes as cold as winter frost.

Just as Nian Duan finished grinding the ink, the young girl Duanmu Rong entered.

"Master, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Duanmu Rong asked.

"I slept too much just now, I'm not sleepy now."

Nian Duan answered.

"The master said that even if you're not sleepy, you have to sleep."

Duanmu Rong said.

"it is good."

Seeing Duanmu Rong's serious expression, Nian Duan sighed helplessly.

If she doesn't go to rest, Rong'er will probably write to Xu Lin again!
After speaking, Nian Duan put down his brush, abruptly stood up, and walked towards his bedroom.

After settling into the hotel, Nian Duan's mind was filled with Xu Lin, and she couldn't shake him off.

Although Xu Lin looks like a frail scholar, he actually has very firm muscles in his arms.

Nian Duan didn't want to recall these things, but the more she tried not to, the more they appeared.

Strong, powerful arms; an incredibly broad chest; a gentle, spring-like voice…

"The gentleman is almost ten years younger than me!"

"I am Rong'er's master!"

How can I relive these memories?

Half an hour later, Nian Duan looked at himself in the bronze mirror and blamed himself.

After saying that, she put the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic under the bookshelf.

Then I drank a large pot of herbal tea.

She needs to wake up!
How can a teacher be so shameless as to think about such vulgar things?

Fortunately, she held her ground and did not let Xu Lin do as he pleased; otherwise, what right would she have to be Rong'er's master?

Her relationship with Xu Lin was that of patient and doctor, completely different from Xu Lin's relationship with Madam Hu, Mingzhu, and others!
Therefore, she was not reminiscing about the pleasure, but recalling the details of the treatment and why it was effective!

After convincing himself, Nian Duan, just like Xu Lin had done an hour earlier, placed his hand on her lower abdomen.
