Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Attempt, Ruoxi’s Self-Blame

"Qing Zhi, do you think the people from the Medicine God Temple can really save Su Luo?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Ruoxi didn’t ask about the relationship between Su Luo and Shen Qingzhi. She deliberately avoided thinking about their relationship and instead asked,

"Although Doctor Wei says their medical skills are unparalleled, almost divine, I understand not to put all my hopes on them alone."

Shen Qingzhi sighed.

It was because she could not be sure that people from Medicine God Temple would definitely be able to save Su Luo that such a wild and unreliable idea had surfaced in her mind.

Wasn’t Lin Ruoxi the same?

She did not dare to pin all her hopes on the Medicine God Temple either; similarly, the same thought occurred to her, wondering if, perhaps like that night, she could be with Su Luo once more to help him recover.

It was just that, compared to Shen Qingzhi, her relationship with Su Luo was not clear. Although she had come to terms with that incident, under normal circumstances, it did not mean she could accept being with Su Luo again, but she was very clear that she could not just watch Su Luo die.

Just the fact that Su Luo had risked his life to save her, saved her grandfather, and came in time to save the entire Lin Family at a critical juncture; for these debts of gratitude, she would never be able to repay.

"Qing Zhi, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while? I can stay here with Su Luo."

After hesitation, Lin Ruoxi suddenly looked at Shen Qingzhi.

She wanted to try if that method could save Su Luo, but she obviously couldn’t do such a thing in front of Shen Qingzhi. She had to see if she could send Shen Qingzhi away.

At this time, Shen Qingzhi was also considering the matter, but she didn’t expect Lin Ruoxi to be the first to speak.

This reminded her of a sentence she had heard during her call with Lin Ruoxi.

"You and Ruoxi have already consummated your marriage; do you really want to be a scumbag and not take responsibility?"

She looked at Lin Ruoxi, her lips moved slightly, but in the end, she found it hard to speak.

If what Lin Songbai had said was true, and Su Luo and Lin Ruoxi had indeed consummated their marriage... then compared to her, Lin Ruoxi indeed suited Su Luo better and deserved him more.

Though she was chaste and had only been with Su Luo, by name she was married, belonging to Zhou Shihao.

If she were with Su Luo, it would inevitably subject him to criticism.

On the other hand, Lin Ruoxi was the young miss of Jiangbei Lin Family, the Grandmaster’s granddaughter, and a well-known beautiful CEO in Jiangbei. If she were with Su Luo, that would be a perfect match, and perhaps it would even become a wonderful tale.

"I’m not tired, but I’d like to go out for some air," Shen Qingzhi finally said.

She stood up and left the room.

She wasn’t sure whether Lin Ruoxi also knew that making love with Su Luo could potentially aid his recovery. But she decided to give Lin Ruoxi a chance.

At least for now, to give Lin Ruoxi and Su Luo some privacy.

After Shen Qingzhi left,

Lin Ruoxi looked at Su Luo lying on the hospital bed, her emotions somewhat downcast on her beautiful, cold face: "Su Luo, I... I actually don’t want to do this kind of thing, and I won’t do it, but you have done great kindnesses for me, for Grandfather, for the Lin Family, and I can’t just watch you suffer."

"I..."

Lin Ruoxi faltered.

"I’m sorry, just give me a little more time."

Moments later, she bit her lip hard; even though she had made up her mind, putting it into action was proving more difficult than she had imagined.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Ruoxi whispered to herself: "Lin Ruoxi, you can do this."

Having said that,

She went to the door of the sickroom, locked it from the inside, and made sure no one from outside could see anything inside the room before she returned to Su Luo’s bedside.

She looked at Su Luo lying on the bed, pale.

To say she had no feelings for Su Luo at all?

After everything they’d been through, Su Luo had left an indelible mark on her heart, and her feelings for him were far from nonexistent; it was just not enough to accept him yet.

But to say her feelings were deep?

That was not the case!

Yet at least, this gave Lin Ruoxi the courage to go through with the act with Su Luo, at least she wasn’t about to be intimate with someone she greatly disliked or couldn’t accept.

Bit by bit, Lin Ruoxi finally convinced herself.

"Su Luo, you mustn’t let anything bad happen to you!"

Lin Ruoxi spoke softly.

As she spoke, she finally took off her clothes, revealing a graceful figure clad only in her underwear, her snow-white skin dazzlingly bright under the light. Already "generous in bust," her chest appeared even more breathtakingly large restricted by her bra.

At that moment, her nerves were stretched to the limit.

After more than ten seconds of struggling internally, Lin Ruoxi finally unhooked her bra and slid off her pants, leaving only her panties on her entire body.

With this, Lin Ruoxi didn’t continue to undress.

She approached Su Luo’s bedside.

Her pale hand, shaky and unsteady, reached out and lifted Su Luo’s blanket.

Although Su Luo was wearing his hospital clothes, Lin Ruoxi’s cheeks, fairer than frost and snow, were already flushed with redness, burning hot.

"What should I do next?"

Lin Ruoxi faced a dilemma.

She knew how to take off her own clothes, but she didn’t know what to do next.

Even though she was decisive and efficient in the world of business, when it came to this, she was completely inexperienced.

Other girls, even if they’d never had a boyfriend or any experience with the opposite sex, might still have secretly watched some adult films with their best friends or discussed such matters in private. But she, disliking men from a young age and keeping her distance from them, was never curious about such matters.

So, her knowledge of these things only came from past biology classes.

Even though she was no longer a virgin and had been with Su Luo once before, it wasn’t initiated by her, and she wasn’t even conscious, losing her purity in a confused daze.

This was one of the reasons why she was so strong but later broke down in tears.

"Start by taking off his pants."

In a state of extreme tension and trepidation, she finally realized something, she had to take off Su Luo’s clothes as well.

But that was much harder than lifting Su Luo’s blanket.

"I’m doing it to save his life!"

"I need to save him!"

"Save him!"

Lin Ruoxi kept telling herself, and finally, she placed her hands on Su Luo’s waist, grabbed the edge of his pants, closed her eyes, and gave a hard tug.

Outside the ward.

Shen Qingzhi sighed.

She knocked on the door.

"Wait a moment!"

Lin Ruoxi’s voice came from inside the ward.

Two minutes later, Lin Ruoxi opened the door. It was apparent that her cheeks bore streaks of tears, and her eyes were moist.

"Qing Zhi, I feel... I’m so useless! I can’t save him!"

Lin Ruoxi was full of self-reproach.

Shen Qingzhi gently hugged Lin Ruoxi, "It’s okay, this isn’t your fault!"

She knew what had happened inside the ward. Now a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator herself, she was told by Su Luo how to use Divine Sense while using an Invisibility Talisman, so she had seen what had happened inside the ward just now.

She knew that Lin Ruoxi had the same idea as she did.

And she knew that Lin Ruoxi hadn’t succeeded.

It wasn’t that she had some sort of voyeuristic habit. It was just out of concern for Lin Ruoxi and Su Luo, afraid that something would go wrong. She occasionally used Divine Sense to check on Lin Ruoxi’s progress and observe Su Luo’s condition, which let her know that Lin Ruoxi, after all her struggles, hadn’t succeeded.

Lin Ruoxi leaned into Shen Qingzhi’s embrace, and after a moment, she suddenly looked up at Shen Qingzhi, "Qing Zhi, do you... do you know what happened?"

Shen Qingzhi gently stroked her cheek and smiled, "All I know is that you wanted to save him."

Lin Ruoxi was certain that Shen Qingzhi knew what she had been doing inside, which made her cheeks suddenly turn red again, but instead of avoiding, she reproached herself, "But I didn’t succeed."

"You lack experience, let me do it," Shen Qingzhi said in a low voice as though resolved.
