I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 110: A Confused Heart

Li Yi looked at the silent Ash and scratched his head, saying, "Why are your ears red?"

Anubis: "You're mistaken."

Li Yi: "No, your face is red too. Do you have a fever?"

Anubis: "..."

Qiao Suisui didn't notice Anubis's unusual behavior and only focused on the main issue. She asked, "Haven't you checked the surveillance?"

Li Yi interrupted: "I heard that Dr. Li is personally investigating this matter, and the surveillance was taken by him. Ah, with Dr. Li on the case, I believe the truth will soon emerge."

Anubis looked down and remained silent.

Qiao Suisui felt something was odd and continued to inquire whether Ash had any enemies, and what had happened during the incident. Anubis's answers were all ambiguous, and with Li Yi there, the topic was repeatedly derailed, making Qiao Suisui suspect that Li Yi might be a mole sent by the perpetrator. The three of them returned to their usual chattering and noisy moment.

Lanze stood quietly behind them, not speaking. In fact, he was unable to join the conversation of the three, as if they had known each other for many years. When they talked about something, all three would laugh together, their tacit understanding like a barrier that Lanze couldn't break through.

A sense of unease gradually spread in his heart.

In the hospital room, Li Yi was still babbling while Qiao Suisui listened on the side, her expression sometimes helpless, sometimes amused by the jokes. Anubis just quietly watched her every frown and smile, occasionally joining the conversation.

"Oh right, Qiao, you haven't been to school recently, you must be falling behind on the latest gossip, right? Let me tell you, senior XX and that person, they have um, um, ummed!" Li Yi said, using gestures, and by the end was hugging himself and puckering up for a kiss.

"You talk about disgusting, ugh, it's truly nightmare-inducing!"

Upon hearing this, Anubis quickly glanced at Qiao Suisui's expression and hurriedly changed the subject: "I'm thirsty, Li Yi, pour me a glass of water."

"Didn't you just have some?"

"I'm thirsty again, alright?"

"Tsk, you can't do without me." Li Yi went to pour the water, incessantly talking: "Really, I just don't understand, although females are few, it's not like anything goes, right? What, can't live without being in heat? Perfectly good males getting together, it's just destructive to social morals! I think all the males who like males should be given electric shocks, don't you agree!!!"

Anubis stuffed a roll of gauze into Li Yi's mouth, looking quite displeased.

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm?"

(Why are you stuffing my mouth?)

"You are too noisy."

"Mmm mmm! Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm!"

(Crazy! I'm your lifesaver!)

Qiao Suisui laughed and asked, "What is he saying?"

Anubis said expressionlessly, "He's saying he wants to leave."

Li Yi: "?"

Qiao Suisui was used to these scenes; she walked over and patted Li Yi on the shoulder, saying, "That's fine, you must be tired from looking after Ash. It's good for you to go rest. I'll stay."

Li Yi gave an OK gesture and mmm-med as he left.

Watching his retreating figure, Lanze showed a hint of confusion on his face and asked, "Can't he just use his hands to take down the gauze?"

Qiao Suisui and Anubis looked at each other, both sharing a knowing smile.

She explained to Lanze, "Soon, his reflex arc will catch up."

Qiao Suisui and Anubis simultaneously counted in their minds—

3.

2.

1!

From the corridor came Li Yi's exclamation, echoed by, "Ah? Right, this thing can be taken out!"

In the hospital room, the two of them smiled again at the same time.

Unable to see their expressions, Lanze could still feel the unique, subtle atmosphere between them, and he could hardly maintain his gentle smile.

"Sui... Qiao, let me stay and take care of your classmate."

Qiao Suisui, while tidying up clothes, heard Lanze's question and without raising her head said, "No need, you go back first. There's no need to hang around here with me."

Lanze moved his lips, wanting to say something, but seeing that her attention was elsewhere, he held back and instead showed a smile tinged with slight melancholy, saying, "Hmm, I'll go back to Imperial Court first then. I wonder if Ash will be unhappy to see me back."

Qiao Suisui paused her movements, realizing she had overlooked this point and quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to him in a bit. That place is your home too, he has no right to send you away."

Lanze gave her a tender smile, his words carrying an almost imperceptible intimacy, and spoke in a relaxed tone, "Don't exhaust yourself. My issue isn't urgent. I'll see you back at home."

He deliberately emphasized the word "home" a bit more heavily, causing Anubis to quietly lower his eyes.

After sending off the two people, the whole hospital room became much quieter.

Li Yi did things casually; he had been taking care of Naonao overnight and had left things strewn about. Qiao Suisui quickly tidied up the room. During this, Anubis sneaked glances at her repeatedly, almost unnoticeably.

She seemed to have gotten thinner.

He looked towards Qiao Suisui's pale, slender wrists, exposed as she rolled up her sleeves for convenience, revealing her well-proportioned forearm. Anubis instantly noticed a small mole on that creamy, jade-like forearm and suddenly felt his chest scar itch. He placed his hand over the scar, then realized the itch seemed to be coming from inside.

He faintly shifted his gaze away, then looked back, observing her slender fingers and tender fingertips. Her hands were delicate and seemingly boneless; her wrist could be encircled with just two fingers... as if one could break it with just a bit of force.

Anubis's Adam's apple moved slightly, truly feeling thirsty this time.

"When did the doctor say to change the dressing?"

"Hm?"

"I meant the wound," Qiao Suisui noted his distraction and repeated, "When is the dressing to be changed?"

"Oh, just change it again tonight."

Qiao Suisui glanced at the Light Computer for the time, noted it down, and planned to call the doctor in the evening.

"You... stop busying yourself, take a rest."

"It's okay, I'm just sitting around anyway."

She casually poured a cup of water for Anubis and, as she handed it to him, accidentally touched his fingertips, startlingly hot to the touch. She quickly placed her hand on his forehead, then touched her own forehead.

"You don't have a fever."

Qiao Suisui looked at him puzzledly; at this moment, Anubis had his head buried very low. From Qiao Suisui's angle, all she could see was the top of his head and his two red ears.

She had no choice but to bend down, looking closely at his face, "Naonao, do you feel unwell?"

Anubis awkwardly turned his head, wanting to say it's nothing, but was choked by his saliva, and started coughing.

So Qiao Suisui helped him by patting his back to ease the choking.

Feeling the warmth of the palm on his back, and recalling those pale hands, he felt a tingling sensation wherever she patted, causing Anubis to cough even more violently.

Qiao Suisui was a bit anxious, about to call the doctor, but she had only taken half a step when her wrist was gently grasped.
