Chapter 119 - GODLY DOCTOR (1/2)

LUO YAN absentmindedly looked at the ceiling.  He could feel his consciousness slowly slipping.  But he couldn't afford to wallow in that feeling.  He couldn't even let himself closed his eyes.  Because once he did, he was sure that he would lose consciousness and would totally be thrown out of this door.

Well, he should probably be thankful that he was only feeling dizzy and not contorting in pain.  It seemed like the game designers still had some conscience left in them.  If he truly ended up being tortured by poison, he'd definitely file a complaint.

The other thing he should also be thankful for was that Shen Ji Yun also ended up in the same door.  At least he didn't have to do everything on his own now.  Just by having Shen Ji Yun here, he felt somehow safe.  As if someone gave him an invisible protection.  Maybe that just showed how reliable Shen Ji Yun was in his mind.

Weird, really.  Considering how he wasn't really the type to rely on others, it was kind of a wonder how he easily thought that if there was Shen Ji Yun, then everything would probably be alright.  It's kind of unscientific.  If this was his father or one of his brothers, then Luo Yan could understand why he would feel that way.  After all, in this new life of his, those three were the only people he could trust unabashedly.

It was especially weirder since he'd only known Shen Ji Yun for a little more than a month.  Maybe Luo Yan could attribute it to the fact that the guy was simply like a mountain – unmoving and unyielding.  That no matter what kind of big wind hit him, he could face it head on.  That's probably why Luo Yan unknowingly felt that Shen Ji Yun was very reliable.  That he could count on him regardless of the situation.

When another bout of dizziness came, Luo Yan had to bit his lips hard just to not let himself closed his eyes.  Thinking of other ways to stay awake, the door of the room suddenly opened.  He glanced at the door and saw Shen Ji Yun who immediately rushed to the side of the bed.

”You're back,” Luo Yan said a bit weakly.

Shen Ji Yun stared at the rabbit lying on the bed.  His black hair was scattered, his pale face a strong contrast to his bright red lips.  It seemed to be even redder than earlier when he looked at him.  He could even see little tooth marks.  The rabbit probably bit his lip hard enough for it to leave a mark.

He quickly glanced away.  Because even he knew he was staring too hard.

He took out a small glass bottle with one small pill inside.  He took the pill and handed it to Luo Yan.  ”This is an antidote given by the godly doctor.  According to him, it could cure any type of poison.”

”He gave it to you so easily?” Luo Yan said a little bit unbelieving.

An almost imperceptible frown appeared on Shen Ji Yun's handsome face.  He remembered his talk with the doctor earlier.  No, it's more accurate to say that they didn't really talk.  The moment he approached him, the doctor simply gave him the pill and told him that it could cure the 'little courtesan'.

When he first appeared in this door, he was already travelling with the prince's entourage towards this manor.  One of the members of that entourage was the doctor.  He didn't see much of him because he never left his carriage.  But he listened to the NPCs around him talking about the doctor.  They said that the doctor didn't have a good temper.  And that he wouldn't just heal any injured or sick person he came in contact with.

Yet, he gave the antidote pill to Shen Ji Yun so easily.  There's only one reason he could think of behind the way the doctor acted earlier.

”I think he's a player like us,” he said.

”Why would you think so?” Luo Yan said, curious as to why Shen Ji Yun would think so.
