Shen Chuwei stared at the stranger in front of her; that low voice felt familiar once more, and she couldn’t help leaning in and whispering, "You can call me Doctor Shen."

The man sensed a warm breath coming towards him, carrying a faint scent that was surprisingly not unpleasant.

"Do you like to speak close to people?"

"Not really," Shen Chuwei said, yet she continued to gaze closely at the man before her. Why did his voice sound somewhat like Xiao Jinyan’s?

With doubts, she reached out to remove the gauze from his eyes, but as soon as she touched it, her hand was tightly grasped by his, and the grip was very strong.

"What are you trying to do?"

The man’s voice was neither cold nor warm, showing no hint of emotion.

Shen Chuwei listened attentively and realized that this was how Xiao Jinyan spoke when they first met, making it hard for anyone to take a liking to him.

If he hadn’t been so handsome, she wouldn’t have thought of secretly drawing him.

Man: "..."

"Look, it’s so hot. You’re wearing such thick gauze, and it’s wrapped so tightly around your eyes, it’s not good for recovery. At night, you can actually take it off to let your eyes breathe," Shen Chuwei said earnestly. She was a doctor, after all, and the reasoning came naturally to her.

The man nonchalantly explained, "You’re a doctor and what you say makes sense, but I cannot expose my eyes to light."

"Cannot expose to light?" Shen Chuwei now understood why the man covered his eyes so tightly, hiding most of his face and even his eyebrows were not visible.

She asked curiously, "How did you injure your eyes?"

Upon hearing this, the man paused, "I don’t remember the specifics. The doctors said it was a lime burn."

"Are you sure it’s lime? If it was lime, timely cleaning would not have lead to such severity," Shen Chuwei tapped her chin.

"Based on my clinical experience, there are two possibilities why your eyes cannot be exposed to light; one might be due to a medication, and the other possibility is that your eyes were subjected to strong light, causing temporary blindness. "

Seeing Doctor Shen speak so confidently, the man found it somewhat reasonable, "Do you have a way to cure my eyes?"

Shen Chuwei chuckled, "My consultation fee is very expensive, but well..."

The man pressed, "But what?"

Shen Chuwei continued with a mischievous grin, "You have to remove that thick gauze on your eyes, so I can see if you’re handsome. If you look good, I can treat you."

"..." The man asked, "What if I’m not good-looking?"

Shen Chuwei spread her hands, "If you’re not good-looking, then the fee doubles. I make my living off my medical skills."

Man: "..."

Shen Chuwei asked cheerily, "Have you decided yet?"

At this moment, the man was eager to regain his sight, but he knew nothing about his own appearance.

After a moment of contemplation, he nodded, "I’ll let you look."

Shen Chuwei poked her little hands with expectation, "Will you do it yourself, or should I help you?"

Finally, she could unveil the true face of Mount Lu; how exciting! Could his looks be proportional to his voice?

"..." The man simply said, "I’ll do it myself."

Shen Chuwei nodded, "Mhm."

Just as the man raised his hand behind his head to untie the gauze, a woman’s voice came from the entrance.

"What are you doing here so late?"

The man’s hand paused, slowly lowering back down.

Shen Chuwei looked up at the woman at the doorway; having come here three times, she knew that the woman was the Clan Leader’s daughter, Ouyang Leyuan.

She sighed inwardly; the timing couldn’t be worse, just as she was about to glimpse the true face of Mount Lu.

But no matter; there would still be chances.

Shen Chuwei held up Xuetuan in her hand, "I came to find my pet."

Xuetuan blinked its attractive deep blue eyes twice. In the night, they were like stars in the night sky.

Ouyang Leyuan looked at the cat in Doctor Shen’s arms. She hadn’t looked carefully the other days, and now that she did, she realized the cat was truly beautiful; she had never seen this breed before.

"Since you’ve found your pet, you should go back. Don’t disturb his rest."

Being on someone else’s territory, Shen Chuwei could only nod, "Alright."

After Shen Chuwei left with the cat, Ouyang Leyuan sat down at the table and, somewhat excitedly, said to the man before her, "My third brother has woken up."

The man was also a bit surprised. Ouyang Jingyuan had been comatose for so long that all doctors had claimed him beyond help, yet Doctor Shen had revived him in just three days.

"That Doctor Shen seems to be quite skilled in medicine."

Ouyang Leyuan said, "Although my third brother is awake, his mental state isn’t very good. Let’s wait and see. What if she’s a quack? Once my third brother is cured, we’ll have Doctor Shen treat your eyes."
