Chapter 136: The Framed Little Phoenix

Chapter 136: The Little Phoenix Gets Framed

Bai Ruoshui's medicine sparked a wicked idea in Bai Yeye.

He wanted to ask Bai Ruoshui for some hard-hitting drugs that'd give him a quick boost, and after taking them, maybe he could surpass Shen Yu in endurance. Then if Shen Yu couldn't keep up with him, would he get a little scared and not be so enthusiastic about that kind of thing in the future?

This plan to deal zero damage to the enemy while wrecking his own ass was something only Bai Yeye would think of.

Actually, he didn't hate that kind of thing; it was just that the great hero Yeye had a little pride to protect.

Every time, it was Shen Yu making him beg for mercy. Why couldn't it be Shen Yu begging? He was a badass merman too, damn it!

Hmph, once this plan worked, Shen Yu wouldn't be so smug in front of him anymore.

If Bai Ningxin knew about this idea, he'd definitely stuff Bai Yeye's head with chicken drumsticks.

Because he'd had the same idea back then, and ended up happily landing his eldest brother.

"Yeye? Yeye? What are you thinking about?" Bai Ruoshui noticed his little brother's weird smile and waved a hand in front of his face to snap him out of it.

"Huh? Nothing." Bai Yeye put on his best innocent act, leaning against Bai Ruoshui's side, trying to come up with an excuse to get the medicine.

If he just asked outright, his second brother definitely wouldn't go for it. Because these kinds of drugs always took a little toll on the body afterward, unless he had a solid excuse, his second brother wouldn't give them to him.

What about saying Shen Yu couldn't get it up?

No way, if Shen Yu found out, he'd definitely kill him.

What to do...

As Bai Yeye was thinking, he saw the Little Phoenix flying past the window, with Long Rui chasing after him, begging him to wear long johns.

"!" It looked like the perfect scapegoat had just shown up.

"Um... Second Brother." Bai Yeye started putting on an act, wearing a troubled expression.

Bai Ruoshui looked at him gently: "What's wrong?"

"I've got a friend who asked me to get something from you." Bai Yeye blinked innocently.

"What does he need?"

Bai Yeye whispered something in his ear, and Bai Ruoshui choked on his own spit: "Cough, cough, what does your friend need that for?"

"It's just, a normal guy thing. Cut him some slack."

"Which friend?" Bai Ruoshui pressed on as expected, because he knew Bai Yeye too well and was afraid he'd use it on himself.

Bai Yeye hesitated, "It's hard to say. Gotta save the guy some face."

"Not happening, Yeye. If you don't tell me, I can't give it to you. If you tell me, I'll at least know what's going on, and I won't tell anyone else."

"Fine, I'll tell you, but you absolutely can't tell anyone or go confront him. Otherwise, he'd be so humiliated."

"Mm-hm, who is it?"

"Big Brother."

"Cough, cough! Who?" Big Brother? Big Brother didn't seem like the type who needed such things.

Bai Yeye said with a straight face, trashing his beloved eldest brother: "Everyone's got their own sad story behind all that shine. Show some understanding."

Bai Ruoshui was puzzled: "But when I checked Big Brother's health before, his pulse was super strong."

He could tell that from taking his pulse.

Bai Yeye thought quickly: "That was then, this is now, you know? With everything that's happened lately, Big Brother's been working day and night without a break, and his body is worn out. It's just that he's too proud to say anything."

"Then how do you know?"

"The Little Phoenix told me." Bai Yeye shamelessly threw the Little Phoenix under the bus.

Bai Ruoshui knew he was tight with the Little Phoenix and hesitated for a moment. Was this true?

"I mean, the Little Phoenix isn't the type to be shallow and wouldn't leave Big Brother over such a small thing, but they just got together. Young couples are all fire and passion, but if the fire won't catch, that's such a bummer. Second Brother, just help Big Brother out!" Bai Yeye said it with total sincerity.

Bai Ruoshui rubbed his brow, "This kind of stuff isn't good for the body. I can't hand it over. If Big Brother really needs it, I can help him with some recuperation."

"We can talk about the recovery stuff later. Big Brother just wants to keep his game strong in front of the Little Phoenix right now!"

"No, I'll go have a talk with Big Brother later."

Bai Yeye had totally screwed himself over and nearly scared himself to tears: "No, no, don't! Don't go find him, or he'll definitely chew me out. Second Brother, good Second Brother QAQ!"

If Long Rui ever found out he was being talked about like this behind his back, he'd definitely pluck every last tail feather off him!

"Good boy, Yeye, don't be scared. Second Brother won't say a word. I'll find a chance to check his pulse."

"Alright, but you can't say anything."

"Mm-hm."

Bai Ruoshui was a man of his word—if he said he wouldn't say anything, he wouldn't.

The problem was, Wu Shao, standing at the door, overheard the whole thing.

Wu Shao wasn't usually one to stick his nose in other people's business, but the Little Phoenix had saved his beloved disciple, and Long Rui was his disciple's big brother, so he figured it was worth getting involved.

He mixed up the medicine and personally brought it over to Long Rui.

Long Rui was coaxing the Little Phoenix into eating his porridge, "Be good, Yunyun, have a little more, okay?"

Xie Yongyun had a small appetite and only ate half a bowl each time, which made Long Rui worry about his health.

"No, I'm full. Let's do something else." Xie Yongyun tried to divert his attention.

Long Rui insisted he eat a few more bites: "No, have a little more, just a little."

It was a very normal conversation, but Wu Shao saw it as: an omega seeking intimacy with an alpha, and the incompetent alpha could only avoid it by offering food.

How pitiful!

"Divine Doctor, why are you here?" Xie Yongyun was delighted to see him—now he didn't have to eat!

Wu Shao placed the medicine on the table: "Three times a day, and after half a month, everything will be back to normal."

"Yunyun, are you injured?" Long Rui was a bit tense.

Xie Yongyun was also confused: "I'm not."

"Whose medicine is that?"

"It's for you," Wu Shao replied.

Long Rui was puzzled: "What's this for?"

He only needed to put medicine on the wound on his back, not take it orally.

"Yeah, what's wrong with him?" Xie Yongyun asked, a little tense.

Wu Shao didn't mince words: "Didn't you say he had weak kidneys?"

Little Phoenix's eyes went wide: "I said that??"

When did I ever say that?!

Wu Shao thought he was just embarrassed and said directly, "No need to avoid the topic. It's not like he was born weak—he's just exhausted. Once he takes this, he'll bounce back fast, and it won't affect your relationship."

"What nonsense are you talking about! I never said that! Long Rui, hear me out—no wait, let me explain, ahhhh, I swear it wasn't me!"
