Chapter 330-331
Chapter 330: There Are Things You Don’t Know About Me
...
Yun Xi stared at the man who was patting her head so flirtatiously. They were sitting so close, and the vibe distinctly felt a little romantic.
For a moment, she felt as if she was being sucked in by his tender gaze.
However, she snapped herself back to reality and pushed his hand away from the top of her head. Then she smiled and asked, “How did Young Marshal Mu find out that it was my birthday today?”
“What is there about you that I don’t know?” Mu Feichi sat down on the edge of her bed.
As he sat down on her little bed, the bed immediately looked very small indeed.
“...” There are things you don’t know about me, Yun Xi said to herself silently.
For example, he didn’t know that she had been reborn.
She chuckled and sat down on a chair and looked at him. The light on the desk was bright, and she noticed that his complexion didn’t look well right now.
He was wearing a military-green down jacket, black trousers, and boots. With his strikingly handsome face, he looked trendy and cool.
However, she picked up the scent of medical alcohol. Although the smell wasn’t that strong, she’d been a medical student and was all too familiar with that odor. She couldn’t help but identify it.
She frowned, then, to make sure that the smell was coming from him, she leaned over toward him and sniffed.
Mu Feichi looked at his little rascal whose face was approaching him. He’d really missed her a lot.
At this moment, she was looking completely innocent. Her rosy-cheeked face, clever eyes, and serious yet welcoming expression were all so pleasing to the eye.
Especially since for the last two weeks he had been spending so much time dealing with official business in the outside world, surrounded by only men.
Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and patted the place on the bed beside him. “Don’t worry. Sit down here. I have to tell you something.”
She was intoxicatingly irresistible to him.
Once intoxicated, the taste was hard to do without.
Under the dim light, she saw that his face looked a little pale, and she frowned as she took a closer look. Her hand accidentally pressed against his shoulder, and Mu Feichi sucked in his breath. The obvious pain made him immediately move his arm.
“Are you injured?!” Yun Xi looked at his wrinkled brows and quickly realized that something was wrong.
Thinking about the area on his body that she had just touched, she reached out and lifted up his coat.
She noticed that a place on his left shoulder under his black T-shirt was bulging, and her hand felt warm and moist as she touched it.
She glanced at the blood staining the palm of her hand, and her face suddenly turned pale.
She realized that his left shoulder was wounded and wrapped in a thick gauze bandage.
The white gauze was dyed red by blood now. She didn’t know if the wound had been torn open when he’d climbed through the window or if she’d just injured him when she’d touched him before.
Looking at the blood made Yun Xi feel really angry!
She was fuming with rage and had a fiery expression in her eyes as she reached out to pull his ear forcefully.
Her youthful face appeared stern as she scolded him with a serious expression, “You jerk! How dare you mess around climbing into my room when you’re injured!”
With his ear being pulled, Mu Feichi seemed to be stunned for a moment, but then he laughed like a child.
When he was a little boy, his mother had pulled his ears when she was angry. Now, when his little woman did it, he felt as if his heart had melted.
Purposely yelling out dramatically, he reached out and grabbed her little hand. “It hurts, it hurts...baby, be more gentle with me...”
Her tender little hands felt slightly cold as they pressed against the palms of his hands, and his heart felt warm inside.
Snorting softly, Yun Xi slapped his hands away, and then turned around, opened the drawer, and started digging inside to find the medicine box. She then placed it on the chair and started looking in it in order to find various medical ingredients to take care of Mu Feichi’s wound.

Chapter 331: Your Heart Will Ache if I Die from Pain
...
Ever since she’d first received a scalpel from Mu Feichi, her medicine kit had grown and become filled with first aid equipment and medicines.
After cutting a fresh piece of gauze, she glanced at his wound. It wasn’t small. Although it was still stitched up, the stitches had loosened and opened a bit. It needed rebandaging.
When facing such a disobedient patient, any doctor would have been angry.
Sitting on the chair with her head down and quietly dealing with his wound, she didn’t say a word to him.
From disinfecting, applying medicine, and wrapping the wound, she completed every movement neatly and professionally, not at all like a novice who might tremble at seeing a bloody wound.
Seeing that she remained silent, Mu Feichi sighed and then raised his hand and rubbed her head. “Did I scare you?”
Yun Xi raised her head and gave him an angry glare.
Her expression was obviously one of annoyance, but, in his eyes, it seemed like anger that had grown out of concern.
Everything she did was a pleasure for him to watch.
When she’d finished bandaging the wound, she used the gauze to tie into a closing knot. She deliberately used a lot of strength to tie it up, and Mu Feichi hissed and gasped in pain.
“Dying of pain will serve you right!” She reprimanded him.
Mu Feichi narrowed his eyes and chuckled. “Your heart will ache if I die from the pain.”
“...” He was an irresistible flirt. She was really no match for him, so she didn’t say anything.
After putting on his coat, Mu Feichi leaned back in the bed and gazed at her with a deep and gentle expression in his eyes.
She’d come back to sit beside him after putting away the medicine box, throwing away the bloody gauze, and grabbing some snow from the balcony to wash her hands.
Looking at the lunch box that was sitting on her desk, she reached out and touched it. “What’s this?”
“Supper, hurry up and let’s eat it!”
Yun Xi opened the box and looked inside. It was an insulated box with five layers, each layer containing dumplings of different colors: white, yellow, emerald green, purple, and red.
The colorful assortment was really beautiful.
“These are dumplings stuffed with various things.” Mu Feichi pointed to the white box and explained. “The yellow ones are crab dumplings, the green ones are chicken with winter bamboo shoots, the purple ones are Spanish mackerel, the white ones are leeks, and the red ones are shrimp.”
It seemed a lot of effort for a young master who’d been raised with a silver spoon to be able to distinguish these so clearly, and Yun Xi couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
Looking at him, she smiled and asked, “Young Marshal Mu, don’t tell me that you came all the way here at night to bring me these dumplings because you made them?”
“Why not? All the men in the Mu corporation can make dumplings.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if they can, but I’m surprised that you can!”
She forked a leek dumpling into his mouth. “You taste it first!”
Mu Feichi glanced at the white leek dumpling and took a bite.
Then, holding her hand, he also forked a leek dumpling and put it in her mouth, and watched her reaction with a smile.
“Don’t worry, there’s no poison in them. And if there is we’ll die together.”
Yun Xi glared at him. These fresh dumplings had obviously just been cooked and were still warm, sweet, juicy, and delicious.
Leek symbolizes eternity.
He didn’t say anything. He simply stared at her with a small smile on his gentle face.
Then he cocked his head and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. There were still three minutes to go until it was midnight.
“You’re now 17 years old. You’ve eaten the dumplings. In this new year, I hope you get everything that you want.”
Yun Xi nodded. It was the first time she had heard such a wonderful congratulatory message on her birthday.
As she was eating the second yellow crab dumpling, she accidentally bit into a hard object. She spit it out and then looked up, raising her head in surprise.
She was amused and dumbfounded. “You’ve even put coins inside!”
She lowered her head and glanced again. It wasn’t a coin in her hand, but a specially customized silver coin.
Only the older generation still followed the tradition of wrapping coins in dumplings, which was supposed to symbolize good luck and good fortune in the coming year.
She hadn’t expected Young Marshal Mu to be so magnanimous to actually wrap a silver coin inside the dumplings.
The silver coin was printed with a special badge with the name Mu engraved on it. It seemed to be a family badge.
