After a while, the man waved his hand, and everyone immediately filed in. Lu Fei blended into the crowd and walked into the hall. He sat on a chair in the side hall. From here, he could see the situation on the other side through the bead curtain. There were many short tables in the hall, and a middle-aged couple sat at the top. Below them was an old man, and below them was an ordinary-looking young man. However, his eyes were swollen and his face was blue. It was obvious that he had drunk too much. These two people should be Kong Lian and his son.
At this time, the girls in the dance team danced together in the hall. A group of musicians began to play some songs that were widely known in the world.
Just as the girls were retreating to the sides, Zou Yuzhi suddenly appeared in the hall and played the pipa. The dancers took the opportunity to retreat. This was the way Lu Fei had specially arranged for her to appear. It gave people a very special feeling.
Ever since the young man who had drunk too much saw Zou Yuzhi, his eyes could not move away. Zou Yuzhi played and sang. Halfway through, she suddenly coughed lightly and continued to play. Towards the end, she coughed badly and simply stopped singing and played. Lu Fei laughed in his heart. Zou Yuzhi's performance was very good. The musicians played for a while more. Suddenly, Zou Yuzhi took out a handkerchief and coughed violently. The performance had to stop midway.
Zou Yuzhi's mother had sharp eyes and immediately saw the blood on Zou Yuzhi's handkerchief. She said in shock, "Yuer, what happened to you?"
Zou Yuzhi put away the handkerchief. Everyone saw a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. Zou Yuzhi smiled and said, "I'm fine. I just haven't been feeling well recently. I've been coughing. Maybe I caught a cold."
When everyone saw the blood at the corner of her mouth, they all thought that it was normal to cough because of a cold. How could she cough up blood? With the current medical conditions, tuberculosis could not be cured at all. People were abnormal about coughing up blood. Zou Yuzhi's mother was worried about her daughter's health. She asked with concern, "Other than coughing, do you have any other symptoms?"
Zou Yuzhi said, "Maybe my heart still hurts a little, and I don't have any strength in my body."
Zou Yuzhi's mother was shocked and asked, "Do you have night sweats at night?"
The man next to her immediately stopped her with his eyes and said, "Someone, help Yu 'er down to rest."
Lu Fei cried out in his heart. Zou Yuzhi's father's attempt to cover up made Kong Lian and his son even more worried. Lu Fei looked over and saw the worried expressions on the faces of the old man and the young man. They kept asking about Zou Yuzhi's condition, but the man on the stage kept evading and covering up. It seemed like he was bent on becoming in-laws with the Yuzhou Provincial Governor. However, when Kong Lian saw this situation, he decided not to bring up the matter of marriage again. If he brought a tuberculosis patient home and the news spread throughout the entire residence, wouldn't it harm a lot of people?
After that, the musicians continued to play. Lu Fei felt bored and began to try to practice his newly developed sound martial arts. He transmitted his cold killing intent through the sound of the erhu. It didn't seem strange to be sandwiched between other instruments, but Kong Lian and his son felt more and more uncomfortable because Lu Fei's thoughts were targeted at them. After a while, the two could no longer sit still. Kong Lian wanted to leave, but Zou Yuzhi's father couldn't stay no matter how hard he tried. The banquet ended on a sour note.
When he left the hall, Lu Fei couldn't help but laugh. He followed the musicians to the guest rooms to rest. Seeing that everyone had fallen asleep, he got up and slipped away, rushing all the way to Zou Yuzhi's residence. From afar, he saw that the light in Zou Yuzhi's room was still on. He directly jumped in through the back window, just in time to see Zou Yuzhi soaking in the wooden tub. Zou Yuzhi hurriedly crossed his arms and said, "Why don't you use the door?"
Lu Fei said, "It would be inappropriate if the servants saw me looking for you so late at night."
Zou Yuzhi hurriedly said, "Then you can go to my room and wait for me."
Lu Fei flashed into Zou Yuzhi's boudoir and lay comfortably on her bed. He felt that it was more comfortable to sleep here. Even the bed was fragrant. After a while, he heard the sound of Zou Yuzhi playing the water next door. Lu Fei immediately got up and tidied up the sheets. He sat by the table and picked up Zou Yuzhi's pipa to examine it.
Zou Yuzhi walked in and said angrily, "It's so late. Why don't you sleep well? What are you doing here?"
Although Lu Fei heard her scolding him, there was no trace of blame on his face. He said, "I'm here to see if you've been exposed. Your parents must have come to see you."
Zou Yuzhi nodded and said, "Father said that he would find a doctor to take a look at me tomorrow. What should I do now? I'll definitely be exposed tomorrow. "
Lu Fei said, "Don't worry about this. I just need to use Zhenqi to block the acupoints on your body. Your pulse will immediately become very weak. I guarantee that the doctor won't be able to see it."
Zou Yuzhi sighed and said, "But in this way, my parents will be very worried that I've lied to them."
Lu Fei said, "Isn't that good? You're seriously ill, so they'll definitely treat you twice as well. Moreover, you don't have to marry. You like peace and quiet, so they'll definitely isolate you here. So for you, it's all good and no harm. As for your parents, after a while, when they see that you're fine, they'll slowly feel relieved."
Zou Yuzhi thought about it and felt that it made sense. She sat by the table and said, "Can you play the pipa too? What's the name of the song you played tonight? "
Lu Fei said, "Which song?"
Zou Yuzhi blushed and said, "It's … it's that song."
Lu Fei was just teasing her. Seeing this, he smiled and said seriously, "It's called …" Zou Yuzhi looked up at him. Lu Fei said, "I like you."
Zou Yuzhi felt as if she had been struck by lightning when she met his gaze. She quickly lowered her head and said casually, "Was it you who composed the song? Why is it called that? "
The two of them chatted until late at night. Lu Fei saw Zou Yuzhi yawning continuously. He said, "You should rest early. I'll seal your acupoints."
Zou Yuzhi asked, "How?"
Lu Fei pulled her hand and transferred Zhenqi to seal several acupoints. He said, "The doctor shouldn't be able to find it tomorrow." After a pause, he said, "My injury is mostly healed. I should go."
Zou Yuzhi suddenly looked up at him and said, "Go? You're leaving? "
Lu Fei nodded and said, "I still have some things to do. I'm leaving."
Zou Yuzhi's disappointment was obvious. She said, "But I still have a lot of things to learn from you. Can you stay a little longer?"
