A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

Su Man'er went into the kitchen, leaving Shi Yurou and Gu Feng alone in the living room.

For some reason, Shi Yurou, who had been quite composed just moments before, became nervous again when she was alone with this pale-faced, dark-faced man. She sat there uncomfortably, as if ants were crawling all over her body, and there were more than one of them.

"Ms. Shi, are you still feeling unwell?" Gu Feng asked, puzzled.

"No, no." Shi Yurou was caught off guard by his sudden question. Her already anxious heart pounded even faster, and her face flushed red. She stammered, "I feel much better after you gave me acupuncture."

"Then why do you look so uncomfortable?"

"I...I'm just a little nervous." Shi Yurou couldn't figure out what was wrong with her either. She was nervous when she should be, and even more nervous when she shouldn't be. After all this time, she still couldn't understand why she was so nervous.

"Nervous?" Gu Feng was even more puzzled.

"Hmm..." Shi Yurou responded softly, her face flushed, afraid he would pry into her details, and quickly changed the subject, "Doctor, how do I use this medicine?"

"It's very simple. Just unwrap the cover and insert the frozen pill into the lower part. Use it every night before going to sleep, and take it out in the morning," Gu Feng explained.

"Does it go in with the condom on?" Shi Yurou asked blurtly as she suddenly realized what was going on.

"Of course not. The cover only serves to shape the food and prevent contamination. How would it dissolve and absorb if we put everything in together?"

"Oh." Shi Yurou nodded blankly.

"I've prepared a ten-day supply for you. Use one a day. After you finish it, go to the hospital for a check-up to see if the nodule has disappeared. If it hasn't, then you'll have to prepare for surgery," Gu Feng said.

"Doctor, do you think it... will go away? What are the chances of it going away?" Shi Yurou was very anxious.

"As long as you do as I say, take your medicine on time every day, and come for acupuncture on time, you'll be fully recovered in less than ten days. The follow-up check-up is just to reassure you."

"Really, doctor? You're not lying to me?" Shi Yurou was both surprised and delighted.

"A feng shui master might fool you for ten or eight years, but I can fool you for ten or eight days at most. We'll see soon enough," Gu Feng said calmly.

"Doctor, thank you so much!" Shi Yurou exclaimed excitedly.

"Don't thank me yet. You can thank me after you're cured. Also, there's one more thing to be careful about: you absolutely cannot have sex during the treatment period," Gu Feng instructed.

Shi Yurou blushed again, shook her head, and said softly, "I'm still single after my divorce."

Being single and remaining chaste are not the same thing.

Although being single means not having a husband, it doesn't mean you can have one-night stands or the like.

Gu Feng understood this principle well, so he still instructed, "Just remember my words. There's only this one taboo; there are no other special requirements. Otherwise, even a god can't save you."

"Doctor, you don't believe me?" Shi Yurou was getting a little anxious.

"Uh, no, I was just reminding you to be careful."

Before Shi Yurou could say anything more, Su Man'er called out from the side hall, "Gu Feng, dinner is ready, come and eat quickly."

"They're here."

Gu Feng got up and walked to the side hall. In the living room, only Shi Yurou remained, sitting there in a daze.

She felt wronged; ever since her divorce, she had remained chaste!

But why did I sense a hint of distrust in this man's words?

Do I look like a woman who works as a pawn?

"Ms. Shi, please come along too," Gu Feng warmly invited.

"I've already eaten, you can have it," Shi Yurou politely declined.

"If you've already eaten, why don't you eat some more?" Gu Feng urged again.

"I...I'm on a diet lately," Shi Yurou said somewhat embarrassedly.

"You're on a diet?" Gu Feng looked her up and down several times, then shook his head. "What diet? You don't have any fat to lose."

"I..." Shi Yurou was choked and couldn't speak.

"Come on, how can you have the energy to lose weight if you don't eat your fill? Consider this afternoon tea."

"Uh... okay." Shi Yurou was persuaded by Gu Feng.

Actually... she was afraid that if she kept making excuses, she would upset this stern-faced man.

While eating, Shi Yurou just smiled as she watched Gu Feng wolf down his food, sipping the mung bean soup that Su Man'er had made.

She hadn't seen anyone eat so heartily in a very long time.

Su Man'er, however, was afraid he would choke, so she said softly, "Slow down, slow down, don't rush, no one is going to take it from you."

"By the way, sister, has Chu Hanliang come by?" Gu Feng looked around and asked.

"You're here! You brought a huge gift basket, saying it's a gift for becoming an apprentice." Su Man'er gestured towards the corner of the dining room, where there was indeed a large gift basket commonly found in supermarkets.

"Where is he?" Gu Feng asked.

"I was waiting for you at home, but then I got a call saying I had an urgent mission, so I had to come another day... Thank you." Su Man'er paused noticeably at the last two words.

Upon hearing this, Gu Feng's face darkened, and he nearly choked on a mouthful of food: "Worship me? I'm not dead!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yurou couldn't help but burst out laughing, spitting out the mung bean paste in her mouth.

Gu Feng was quick-witted and nimble; he not only took his own bowl of rice, but also grabbed the dishes he loved on the table.

Shi Yurou sprayed her mouthful of mung bean paste all over the empty table.

The two women stared dumbfounded at the bare tabletop and then at Gu Feng, who was holding up five or six bowls and plates like a circus performer.

Isn't this speed a bit too fast?

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Shi Yurou came to her senses and quickly grabbed a rag to wipe the soup stains off the table.

Gu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and put down the bowls and plates one by one.

"That's what he said, so I just relayed it." Su Man'er suppressed a laugh.

Several black lines appeared on Gu Feng's forehead.

This apprentice is a bit unruly.

He paused, then said, "Sister, I need to go out tonight."

It's one thing to be away from home all day, but to go out at night too? Do you even care about this family? Do you even care about me? Any other woman would immediately ask these questions, and then she'd probably gruffly follow up: Where are you going? When are you coming back?

Without even thinking, Su Man'er replied, "Okay."

Gu Feng was grateful for Su Man'er's tolerance and generosity, but he had no way to repay her, so he could only... bury his head in his food and eat as fast as he could.
