Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Pretending to Faint Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Pretending to Faint Shu Yu glanced at Cheng Dong from the corner of her eye while speaking, noticing his head slightly nodding.

He was indeed still awake.

She then addressed Madam Hou more seriously, “Madam Hou, we’ll need your help to keep this place at the courier station concealed. Make sure no one discovers there is someone in this room. If someone comes looking from outside, no matter who it is, please warn us in advance, will you?”

“Yes, your brother’s friend, I will naturally help. You can rest here with peace of mind, and let me know if you need anything. Although I haven’t been at this courier station for long, there’s still quite a bit I can handle.”

Hearing this, Shu Yu knew that Madam Hou and the Sixth Young Lady were managing well in their work at the courier station.

She smiled and watched as Madam Hou left.

She then walked to the bedside and softly called out to Cheng Dong, “Guard Cheng, Guard Cheng?”

Cheng Dong did not respond, as if he had already fallen into a deep sleep.

But Shu Yu knew he had not; he was just pretending, so she decided to play along.

She unfolded the quilt at the foot of the bed and draped it lightly over her sitting body, then examined him again, “I don’t even know where Guard Cheng is hurt, or if it’s serious. Ah, we can’t avoid seeing a doctor, although the Hemostatic Medicine my brother left behind is effective, it’s ultimately not much.”

Shu Yu looked troubled and called him again in a low voice, “Guard Cheng?”

Seeing that he didn’t wake up, she began to worry, “It’s not that something has happened, right?”

She stretched out her left index finger tremblingly, trying to reach under his curtain hat to check if he was still breathing.

It was then that Cheng Dong finally spoke, “I’m fine.”

Shu Yu jumped, quickly withdrawing her finger and let out a long breath.

Knowing that you’re alright, it’s truly amazing how resilient you are, not fainting even now.

Cheng Dong actually wanted to faint, but he dared not, and instead kept pinching his wound repeatedly to keep himself awake.

He said to Shu Yu, “Lady Lu, you can relax, my wounds are not severe and will be fine with some rest. Please go outside and keep an eye out.”

Eventually, he had to use the Hemostatic Medicine Shu Yu provided. He had only two choices: either to die from excessive blood loss or to trust Shu Yu. He felt that blocking her carriage was an impromptu decision, and Lu Shuyu hadn’t anticipated it enough to plant tainted Hemostatic Medicine inside the carriage.

Now that the bleeding had stopped, all he needed was to rest well to regain some strength.

“That’s fine then, I’m relieved if you’re alright.”

Shu Yu really did leave, closing the door behind her, and then brought a stool over to sit at the door.

Inside, Cheng Dong managed to hold on for a moment longer before finally losing control and fainting.

Shu Yu distinctly heard the noise from inside the room, but she still kept guard at the door without moving.

Though he had fainted, a person like Cheng Dong, even if he were to pass out completely, was likely still deeply cautious and uneasy in his unconscious state. If she were to go in now and do something to him, Cheng Dong could reflexively attack her at any moment.

But knowing he had fainted, Shu Yu acknowledged his physical condition.

It seemed that the wounds under his clothes were numerous indeed.

Madam Hou came over, bringing her a bowl of noodles, “It’s noon already, you must be hungry, eat some noodles to fill your stomach.”

“Thank you.” Shu Yu smiled as she took it, ate a couple of bites, and then started inquiring about her life at the courier station.

The two chatted idly, not mentioning the person inside the room.
