Leng Yiyi was quite surprised by the unexpected call from Xiao Zheng.
In fact, ever since Xiao Zheng helped her treat her illness on the plane, she had developed feelings for him. After returning to Canglong City, she couldn’t stop thinking about Xiao Zheng.
It was almost as if she was possessed, making her childhood friend Mo Ye feel a pang of heartache.
If it weren’t for the recent major events in the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect, Liu Yiyi would have long been unable to resist heading to Zhonghai City to find Xiao Zheng. Luckily, her wait finally paid off, as Xiao Zheng’s call ca.
"I’m really happy that you called ."
On the other end of the line, Liu Yiyi said with her cheeks blushing.
Although Xiao Zheng couldn’t see her expression at the mont, he sowhat guessed it. After smiling, he spoke up, "I happened to have so ti today and thought of your dical condition, so I called to check on you."
"How are you doing? Since returning ho, your condition hasn’t relapsed, has it?"
This was the excuse he ca up with.
It was also the one least likely to arouse suspicion.
If he didn’t say so, calling Liu Yiyi out of the blue could easily make people question Xiao Zheng’s motives. Moreover, chatting like this would increase his favorability in Liu Yiyi’s heart.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi indeed appeared very pleased, her heart feeling as sweet as honey, and she softly replied, "Thank you for your concern. Since you treated last ti, my health has greatly improved."
"Originally, my illness would flare up every three days, but this ti, it’s been a long ti without a relapse."
"Speaking of which, I really should thank you properly."
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Zheng had a mont of distraction.
Every three days?
The frequency was actually this high?
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Is this illness sothing you’re born with? Have you been to the hospital for a check-up? If the frequency is that high, it would surely have serious implications for your body."
As she spoke of her rare illness, Liu Yiyi couldn’t help but sigh, then said, "I don’t really know if my rare illness is sothing I was born with. Anyway, the first ti it attacked was when I was six years old."
"I almost lost my life that ti, but luckily, there was a genius doctor visiting at our house who saved . The red pills I’ve been taking all these years were prepared by him."
"According to him, my condition is also related to my living environnt, so after I turned six, I rarely lived at ho and mainly stayed abroad."
"Did this genius doctor tell you what kind of rare illness it is?" Xiao Zheng pressed on.
In response, Liu Yiyi shook her head and said, "He didn’t tell , but I feel like he should have told my father. Otherwise, my dad wouldn’t have agreed to let live abroad."
"It seems like your condition might be showing signs of worsening now," Xiao Zheng said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi was startled and asked, "Really? Is my condition really getting worse? That can’t be possible, I haven’t had a relapse for more than a week."
"The reason you haven’t had a relapse for so long is entirely due to the treatnt I provided you last ti," Xiao Zheng chuckled and said, "Think carefully, didn’t you notice the effect of the red pill weakened the last ti you took it?"
"It really does seem that way..." Liu Yiyi recalled, suddenly feeling a bit apprehensive, "What should I do now? If the red pill still doesn’t work the next ti, wouldn’t I be dood?"
"Xiao Zheng, can you help ?"
Finally, she took the bait!
Xiao Zheng’s lips curved into a smile.
He chatted with Liu Yiyi for so long, waiting for her to say those words. Only then could he further connect with Liu Yiyi. He aid to gather more information about the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect through Liu Yiyi.
Xiao Zheng then said without hesitation, "Of course, while I may not be a professional doctor, I can’t ignore soone in need. Besides, we’re friends."
Hearing this, Liu Yiyi felt another wave of joy in her heart.
Xiao Zheng continued, "Rest assured, I will study your condition thoroughly in the coming days. Even if a complete cure isn’t possible, I aim to alleviate your condition for a few more years."
"That would be wonderful, thank you so much!" Liu Yiyi said, her face flushing again, "I wish we were in the sa city now, so I could treat you to a al."
Xiao Zheng chuckled at her words and said, "There will be opportunities in the future. It’s getting late, so I won’t bother you anymore. Let’s talk another day."
"Yes, another day," Liu Yiyi replied.
Even after hanging up the phone, she held onto her mobile, with a foolish expression on her face...
Elsewhere.
After Xiao Zheng hung up, he sat in the chair, turning to gaze at the night view outside the window, lost in his thoughts.

Leng Ruobing suddenly pushed open the door and walked in.
When she approached Xiao Zheng, she placed a cup of hot milk on the table: "I saw you weren’t in the living room, so I ca to check on you. What’s wrong, are you facing a difficult problem?"
"Not exactly, I was just thinking about the Demon Alliance..." Xiao Zheng chuckled, then explained the phone conversation he just had with Liu Yiyi.
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruobing said, "Since Liu Yiyi is Liu Wufeng’s daughter, approaching her is certainly the right move. However, while this thod is effective, I still feel sothing is off."
"Off? What do you an?" Xiao Zheng paused, asking.
"Don’t you think Liu Yiyi is caught in the middle between you and the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect, quite innocently?" Leng Ruobing sighed and said, "If she finds out you’re using her, she’d be really hurt, wouldn’t she?"
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Zheng instantly fell silent.
With a bitter smile, he said, "Well, maybe I am using her, but I will compensate her. At least I will keep my promises."
"You must cure her illness; she’s been through a lot, suffering from that rare illness since childhood." Leng Ruobing said, sighing again.
For so reason, she felt a great fondness for Liu Yiyi, despite never having t her.
Xiao Zheng nodded, then stood up saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll do my best. It’s late now, let’s go rest."
"Finish your milk first," Leng Ruobing said.
Defeated, Xiao Zheng could do nothing but down the milk in one go.
Satisfied by the sight, Leng Ruobing followed Xiao Zheng out of the study.
