Chapter 515 - Pushing the Blame (2/2)

“You don’t have to worry about such a trivial thing. Zhiying and I can handle it.” Su Li replied.

“That’s great.”

Xiao Luo answered awkwardly and then changed the topic. “It’s pretty late now, why don’t you stay here and get some rest with me?” he said.

The moment he spoke, he instantly realized how wrong it sounded. This was not his usual style—for he was a lost puppy when it came to love. As the thought lingered uncomfortably in his mind, he decided to push the blame to Zhang Dashan. Since they were such close friends, the fact that some bad habits had rubbed off on him couldn’t be helped, he convinced himself.

Predictably, Su Li blushed and even rolled her eyes at Xiao Luo. “Since when did you become so frisky?”

Xiao Luo laughed nervously and attempted a smart riposte. “There ought to be one person in the conversation who should heat up the atmosphere, right? It’s better than a random, awkward silence,” he said. It failed miserably.

“Psycho!”

The prudish Su Li responded with a sneer and immediately stood up to return to her apartment.

However, as she got up from the sofa, a spell of giddiness overcame her. She dropped back on the sofa and suddenly felt weak as she broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing Su Li’s condition, Xiao Luo quickly went to her and touched her forehead with the back of his palm for temperature. He then kneeled down beside her and took her pulse.

Xiao Luo quickly diagnosed that Su Li had overexerted herself with work for her symptoms showed a deficiency in qi and blood circulation.

“You even know how to take pulses?” Su Li moaned.

“I know a little about it.”

“You’ve been overexerting yourself too much lately. Although it’s hard to tell from the outside, internally, the condition within your body had been deteriorating for quite some time now. It is your body’s way of warning you to take a break,” Xiao Luo said.

“Liyue Media is finally progressing well now and my schedule is very packed, do you actually think that I could get a break?” Su Li replied.

“Don’t be such a martyr. You’re a woman, so why are you so tough on yourself? Besides, the money you have earned is more than enough to last you the rest of your life,” Xiao Luo chided her.

Su Li remained adamant, but she did not push Xiao Luo away. “I just need a quick nap!”

“Fine, I’ll help.”

Xiao Luo reached out and placed two fingers between her brows, sending a gentle force of inner power into her mind.

Su Li closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep immediately.

This was a unique technique from the Yi Jingjing that helped put one into a deep sleep. Since high-quality sleep was the best way to solve qi and blood deficiency, it would completely recharge a person.

“Workaholic!”

Xiao Luo shook his head, carried her into the bedroom, put her down on the giant bed carefully, and tucked her into the soft blanket nicely.

He left the room quietly and closed the room door. Later, he called Zhang Dashan and informed him about his mission in Libya.

“Old Xiao, you better be careful, don’t make me carry your coffin,” Zhang Dashan said.

“Carry your *ss!” Xiao Luo retorted.

He then decided to mention what happened earlier and said, “By the way, stop spewing your usual verbal harassment crap in my face. I accidentally said it to a woman just now, all thanks to you!”

Zhang Dashan was stunned for a brief moment, and then he roared back, “F*ck, so you’re pushing the blame to me now?!”
