Lin Xuan shook his head.
Where were his thoughts wandering off to?
He was now Doctor Xiaoyao, and Hua didn't know that Doctor Xiaoyao was him.
How could Hua treat Doctor Xiaoyao the same way she treated him?
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, walked over to the chair opposite Su Hua, and sat down.
"Miss Su, please hold out your hand," Lin Xuan said.
"Mhm."
Su Hua extended her hand to Lin Xuan.
"Doctor Xiaoyao, yesterday afternoon in my office, I used this hand to relieve my boyfriend for over an hour. It's still a bit sore now. I wonder if this will affect your diagnosis?"
"Cough, cough, cough."
Lin Xuan coughed several times.
Was this something you could just say to an outsider?
Ah.
His wise and brilliant image!
Fortunately, Doctor Xiaoyao was himself. If this matter got out, his image would be completely ruined!
"Doctor Xiaoyao, are you alright?" Su Hua asked worriedly.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
"Miss Su, what you just mentioned won't affect my diagnosis."
"That's good." Su Hua breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Also, Miss Su," Lin Xuan spoke up, "you really don't need to tell me such private matters."
"Okay." Su Hua nodded. "I just thought it might have an impact on the diagnosis."
Lin Xuan began to examine Su Hua.
Su Hua knew very well that Lin Xuan knew how to treat her.
Otherwise, her Xuan wouldn't have gone out of his way to use the identity of Doctor Xiaoyao to treat her.
But she still needed to put on an act.
She didn't want Xuan to know that she already knew he was Doctor Xiaoyao just yet.
She wanted to properly tease Doctor Xiaoyao.
Lin Xuan let go of Su Hua's hand.
Su Hua asked, "Doctor Xiaoyao, I wonder if you have a cure for my illness?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, as it happens, I have a way to treat your condition."
"I will need to perform acupuncture on you, combined with the medicine I prescribe, until you recover."
"Alright, I'll be in your care then, Doctor Xiaoyao."
Su Hua rested her chin on her hand and watched Lin Xuan pack up his things.
Feigning curiosity, she asked, "Doctor Xiaoyao, you're so handsome. You must have a girlfriend, right?"
Xuan's human skin mask was indeed quite good.
But in her eyes, Xuan's true appearance was the most handsome.
"Yes, I do," Lin Xuan replied simply.
"Your girlfriend must be very beautiful," Su Hua said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, she is very beautiful. In my eyes, she is the most beautiful woman in the world. Although she has some flaws, I still love her," Lin Xuan said.
"Oh?" Su Hua's interest was piqued. "I wonder what flaws your girlfriend has."
Lin Xuan's hand paused. He looked up at Su Hua and said, "She gets jealous easily, she's very domineering, and also, she has a very strong libido..."
Su Hua curled her lips.
She was indeed like that.
"But," Su Hua raised her eyebrows, "Doctor Xiaoyao, I don't think those are flaws."
"Her jealousy and her domineering nature just show that she loves you."
"Her strong libido is also because she loves you, and you've gained a lot of pleasure from it too, haven't you?"
Lin Xuan: "..."
That was actually true.
What Hua said really made a lot of sense...
If he didn't know that Hua was unaware of his identity, he would have suspected she was saying this to him on purpose.
"Doctor Xiaoyao," Su Hua's red lips parted slightly, "listening to these flaws of hers, your girlfriend must be a rather flawless person."
"Mhm." Lin Xuan's lips curled up. He was also quite glad that Hua liked him. Whenever this was brought up, Lin Xuan couldn't help but despise his past self.
Damn it, in his previous life, he must have had a hole in his brain. To think he ignored Hua and went after a gold digger like Qin Ruoyao.
Thank goodness heaven had given him a chance to live a second life.
Seeing Lin Xuan nod, the corners of Su Hua's lips couldn't stop rising.
"Doctor Xiaoyao, your girlfriend is just like my boyfriend, both absolutely flawless."
Su Hua looked at Lin Xuan, curled her lips, and said, "He is handsome, devoted, and talented. He is the best man in the world."
She was very glad that Xuan could like her.
If Xuan had continued to be with Qin Ruoyao, she wasn't sure what crazy things she might have done...
"Cough, cough." Lin Xuan was embarrassed by Su Hua's praise and coughed several times in a row.
Lin Xuan said, "Miss Su, I wish you and your boyfriend a lifetime of happiness."
"Mhm." A sweet smile curled on Su Hua's lips. "We certainly will be."
"Also, I feel like I'm very possessive of my boyfriend," Su Hua pursed her lips and said. "When I see him standing with other women, I feel very uncomfortable inside. Especially when I see women coveting him, I can't help but get jealous."
Lin Xuan frowned.
This side of Hua also gave him a headache, because every time Hua got jealous, his kidneys had to suffer.
At the same time, a strange feeling rose in Lin Xuan's heart.
Hua wasn't usually a talkative person. Why would she bring this up with a stranger like him?
If Hua knew his identity and was saying all this to him on purpose, then everything would make sense. But he had disguised himself so well; logically speaking, it was impossible for Hua to know.
"Doctor Xiaoyao, you are also a man. I suppose you and my boyfriend might have some similarities. I want to know, will acting like this make my boyfriend dislike me?" Su Hua's mood seemed a bit down.
"I'm really so worried that one day my boyfriend will get tired of me and leave my side. I also know that this kind of thinking is very sick. I've been trying very hard to control my emotions, but I really can't help it."
Su Hua's fists were clenched tightly, and her voice carried a trace of pain.
The moment Lin Xuan saw Su Hua like this, he couldn't hold his ground anymore.
He quickly comforted her, saying, "Miss Su, don't overthink it. This behavior of yours is because you love your boyfriend too much. Your boyfriend will definitely understand. Who knows, maybe your boyfriend even likes this domineering possessiveness of yours."
"Really?" A bright light flickered in Su Hua's beautiful eyes, though her voice still carried a hint of insecurity. "Will my boyfriend really think the way you do?"
"Really." Lin Xuan nodded with certainty.
He was Hua's boyfriend. Could what he said be false?
"Mhm." The corners of Su Hua's lips lifted slightly.
Xuan said it himself, he didn't mind.
In the future, she could continue to show her jealousy to Xuan.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
