"However, I have one request. If you want my life, I can give it to you anyti, but please, do not hurt her anymore. She is a delicate woman and cannot endure your repeated, unpredictable harm. If in the end, because of her, we must oppose each other, then I will not show you rcy."
Shu Yu said these words, then slowly stood up.
He seed frail, but as he stood up, he placed his hand on the table, and the entire table silently shattered into dust. Whether it’s his elder brother or him, they were originally just scholars. Perhaps they had extraordinary wit and a delicate mind, but they were ordinary people.
But...
That year, his elder brother took him to seek dical treatnt and went to dicine Valley. On their way back, they ran out of provisions and had to eat wild fruits to stave off hunger. It was then that they ate so fruits, and he ate far more than his elder brother; afterward, their bodies began to change.
The elder brother’s Inner Strength also ca from those fruits...
However, the effects of the fruit were not apparent at first. They gradually increased with ti.
And if one were to speak of hidden depths, the elder brother might not even surpass him.

The next day, when Dong Huiying woke up, she felt as though her head was splitting.
"Awake?"
Just as she got out of bed, she saw Shu Yu bring her a cup of hot water.
"Although it has cooled for a long ti, it is still a bit hot. Be careful when you drink it."
Dong Huiying frowned, "My head hurts."
She had a pitiful look on her face. Recalling last night’s events, she was captured by Zhi Chen, then they had an argunt, and afterward, she left alone, found a tavern, apparently drank a lot, but her mory was fractured, and she wasn’t sure what happened next. This might be the hangover talking.
Shu Yu snorted, "Serves you right, let’s see if you’ll dare to drink so much next ti."
She imdiately shivered and quickly said, "I was wrong!"
"At least you have a decent attitude about admitting it."
She felt dizzy, her head spinning. Last night, she indulged too much, drank way too much. This hangover felt like she was severely ill.
Seeing that she couldn’t sit steadily, Shu Yu ca to the bedside, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and let her lean on him.
He sighed and raised his hand to massage her temples. "Alcohol harms the body. If you feel troubled, co to . Don’t go out drinking alone again. If you truly want to get drunk, I’ll accompany you."
Leaning in his embrace, she comfortably closed her eyes, humming like a little cat. After a long while, she touched her stomach and said, "Shu Yu, I’m hungry."
He laughed, "Then get up, freshen up, and I’ll have soone prepare breakfast."
Just as he stood up and was about to leave, he suddenly paused and turned to ask, "Do you still want to continue?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you want to continue staying here? I noticed yesterday that the inns in the city are quite nice."
She was stunned for a mont, then slowly lowered her gaze, "Let’s... move to an inn."
After drinking last night, though she had vented, much of the gloom in her heart had dissipated. But she had no mory of it.
Thinking about the matters between her and Zhi Chen, she thought she needed to calm down.
It would be best not to et again in the short term.
Wait, wait until she organized her feelings.
Otherwise, with her current mindset, eting would only result in mutual resentnt.
