Chapter 186: Abstain from lust, this time I will definitely strictly abstain from lust!

Turning the world upside down!

Indeed, it is turning the world upside down!

Chinu, do you want to hear what you're actually saying?

She hasn't been with him all this time, has she...

What does this have to do with Yu Baobao!

Du Shanü opened her mouth to defend Yu Baobao, but who would have expected that Hei Lao Daifu would appear with a look of seeing through everything, and he said softly:

"Not only..."

"You three, from now on sleep separately."

Chinu: "......"

Yu Baobao: "......"

Du Shanü: "......"

Hei Lao Daifu arrived, Hei Lao Daifu, concealing his merit and fame, put down the medicine and left.

Chinu's heart also died completely as Hei Lao Daifu left:

"This is utter nonsense—!"

Du Shanü really couldn't afford to lose face with this person; before Chinu could cause a bigger commotion, she grabbed the two people beside her and left the pharmacy.

Outside, the evening sun was just right; Cang Cheng had already sunk into twilight.

In the streets, people came and went; the townsfolk walked steadily, either heading home or packing up their stalls.

White steam rose from the roadside eateries; the aroma of food drifted over the street; peddlers with carrying poles slowly packed up their belongings, and their low chatter dispersed on the wind.

Du Shanü, holding a person in each hand, walked through the bustling market, occasionally drawing sideways glances.

Nevertheless, even so, she didn't want to let go of either of them; she just walked while trying to calm Chinu:

"...... You're not a doctor, why argue with a doctor?"

Abstaining from sex is just abstaining from sex!

Anyway, wasn't it the same before when we didn't eat meat?

Since Hei Lao Daifu has already ordered it, this time she will strictly abstain from sex to nourish her body!

Chinu's beautiful eyes flowed with resentment, giving Du Shanü a fierce stare, yet she didn't speak to refute.

Afterwards, Du Shanü saw her obedient slave rummage in his sleeve, pull out that familiar small wooden box, and reluctantly hand it to Yu Baobao.

"...... Here you go."

Given Chinu's temperament, being able to say such words to Yu Baobao is already akin to the compassionate Buddha in the temple.

Yu Baobao took the wooden box with considerable disbelief, stunned for a few breaths before slowly opening it; upon seeing three medicinal ginseng pills emitting a herbal aroma, she became even more bewildered.

Du Shanü feared Yu Baobao would think the outsider didn't want it, and was about to speak to explain where the other three medicines went, when she heard a 'bang'—

Yu Baobao actually snapped the wooden box shut with one swift motion!

Chinu: "?"

Du Shanü: "?"

What are you doing? What is this!

Du Shanü puzzled, yet the next moment she saw Yu Baobao carefully open the box again...

Three medicines neatly arranged, not a single one missing.

"Bang!"

The bewilderment on Yu Baobao's face finally turned into astonishment: "(? `Д′)!!"

Yu Baobao pointed at the box and said to Du Shanü for verification:

"Wife Master, Wife Master, did the slave send me something?"

Du Shanü originally thought something had happened; hearing this, she really couldn't hold back and let out a short laugh.

Yu Baobao tightly hugged the wooden box, then hehe-laughed:

"Slave...... Slave has truly become better this time; Slave no longer impulsively talks about killing, and even sent me something!"

Is this praise?

This must be praise!

Du Shanü pressed down the ashamed and indignant Chinu who wanted to flick her sleeve and leave, and laughed:

"Exactly, he's now very obedient......"

"You two get along well from now on; I'm more at ease than anything."

Du Shanü's words were rather vague; Chinu immediately understood she wasn't pointing at Yu Baobao but at herself, snorted, and didn't respond.

Yu Baobao, on the contrary, was very happy:

"Of course!"

"Since the age of ten, he has always looked forward to becoming close friends and brothers with the slave......"

"Now the slave is finally not all thorns; how could he refuse to get along well with the slave!"

But......

Yu Baobao thought it over, relaxed his brows, assumed a rare solemn demeanor, and said seriously:

"But, if you guys cause trouble in the clinic again...... that definitely won't do either; even if I get beaten, I will definitely argue with the slave!"

Yu Baobao's words are set in stone; if he says he'll argue, then he definitely will.

But when these words fell into the ears of the other two, it was another scene altogether.

Du Shanü's action of pulling Chinu paused; the rare awkwardness from before in the clinic also dissipated.

Du Shanü scratched her head, and only after a while did she say:

"... You get it?"

This time, Yu Baobao was a bit taken aback:

"Wife Master! I said before, I'm just not too smart, not too smart, but also not too stupid, not too stupid!"

"Although I really don't understand what Hei Lao Daifu, hesitant, wanted to say, you only brought Chinu out this time and came back injured—it must be related to Chinu!"

Injured? Injured?

Du Shanü's vision went black.

Yu Baobao then tried to think it through and came up with a result:

"...... According to Hei Lao Daifu, you two must have been fighting in the room!"

"Wife Master is injured, Chinu is fine—surely Chinu hit Wife Master!"

Nonsense, utter nonsense!

Hearing those words, Du Shanü's vision went black again and again.

How could Yu Baobao's process be all right but the result all wrong!!!

No wonder Chinu was angry before—this is just a poor student!?

Du Shanü was dumbfounded, Du Shanü tried to explain, Du Shanü gave up in frustration.

She resignedly took the hands of the two beside her and continued walking forward:

"Forget it, it's fine not to understand...... Find a place, I'll buy you some sugar cakes."

In the southern lands, there has long been a custom of eating sugar cakes during major festivals.

The so-called sugar cake is made by mixing cane sugar with glutinous rice cake, then shaping it with a mold into a large rice‑cake biscuit.

This thing stays edible when stored, retains a sweet taste after a long time, and is considered a household staple by ordinary folk.

Therefore, whenever there is a major event or celebration, people like to buy a piece of sugar cake, first offer it in worship, then wash the sugar cake and share it among the family.

Du Shanü previously had no habit of eating snacks, so naturally she would not eat sugar cake.

Just......

She loved them dearly.

She truly loved the two of them dearly.

Today the sunset was perfect; not celebrating would be a shame.

If it weren't for today's little misunderstanding, she would not have had the chance to take the two out on the town, let alone see their relationship ease......

The fact that Chinu could give those three pills to Yu Baobao truly exceeded her expectations.

Although knowing that Chinu gave up part of the pill because he... he probably couldn't eat it either.

But all beginnings are hard; since Chinu is willing to soften his temper, the three of them will surely have better days ahead.

Maybe......

Maybe in the future, heaven and earth will also prove that the 'prophecy' of the Fuzi is ultimately just a few words.

The three of them will always be together, until old age, until death.

Du Shanü was delighted, waved her hand broadly, bought several more sugar cakes, and even gave one to Ruan Jintian, who was lodging at the Xian Xie.

The shop owner eagerly wrapped the sugar cakes, smiling and rubbing his hands:

"Sir, each sugar cake costs fifteen wen; here we have eight pieces, totaling one hundred twenty wen. You see......"

Du Shanü swiftly pulled out her money pouch and gave it a shake—

The pouch trembled a few times, finally spitting out a single lonely copper coin.

The copper coin spun and fell, emitting a sharp clack:

"Clack—!"

Du Shanü: "..."

Yu Baobao, who had already sneaked a bite of the sugar cake: "...?"

Seeing everything, Chinu remained silent for a few breaths, then reacted first, grabbing Yu Baobao's throat: "... Spit it out, quickly spit it out and return it to the shopkeeper!"

Yu Baobao: "Cough cough cough—cough cough cough—Chinu! You're being stupid, Chinu! w(? Д?)w"

No matter how you think about it, spitting it out to return to the shopkeeper is impossible—the shopkeeper would never want it!!!

As the two beside her argued, Du Shanü and the shop owner stared at each other for a few breaths, when suddenly an elderly female voice came from nearby:

"Benefactor is a noble person; forgetting to bring gold and silver is common."

"Shopkeeper, I will pay the benefactor's bill."

Here it comes, here it comes!
