Chapter 737 - 325: Su Mu: I’m Here to Treat Your Illness

Xino let out a sly chuckle. Quick-witted, she was the first to get up and follow Xu Yun to the bedroom.

Xu Yun: "..."

"I want one too."

Not to be outdone, Li Jinshu was the second to follow.

Seeing this, the other women didn’t say anything, but they were surely all thinking the same thing.

Each one got up faster than the last and headed for Xu Yun’s bedroom, afraid they’d be a step too slow and miss out.

The only one who remained composed was Su Mu; she didn’t move.

’After all, in some people’s eyes, the relationship between Xu Yun and me is completely innocent.’

Liang Yan was the second to last to get up. As she unhurriedly passed by, she teased, "President Su, aren’t you going to go grab one?"

Su Mu shot her a look and said disdainfully, "Childish!"

"Childish?"

Liang Yan sneered, "I think you’re just afraid your best friend will discover your secret."

Su Mu was speechless. "..."

"Sigh. On one hand your best friend, on the other the man you like. If it were me, I’d be conflicted too."

Su Mu said coldly, "If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re a mute."

"Oh, did I strike a nerve? Now you’re getting angry out of embarrassment."

Liang Yan pursed her lips. "Well, I’m going to get mine. Need me to bring one back for you?"

"I don’t need it!"

’Good thing I keep a lot of T-shirts and button-downs at home,’ Xu Yun thought. ’Otherwise, there really wouldn’t have been enough to go around today.’

It was also lucky his house was big enough, with plenty of bathrooms—a full three for them to use.

To save time, they showered in pairs.

For example, Xino and Jiang Peiyao, and Ning Qian and Song Xiaowei went to take a bath together, getting a chance to chat as well.

Li Jinshu, however, waited for Su Mu so they could go together.

Liang Yan was once again left on her own.

Xu Yun sat alone in the living room, watching TV and waiting for everyone.

「Half an hour later.」

The women finished their showers one after another and came out wearing his T-shirts and button-downs, their fair legs bare and their feet naked.

The women all turned to look at Xu Yun, each one with a shy yet inviting, almost coy, gaze.

The sight was starting to get to Xu Yun.

’This is a goddamn test of a revolutionary soldier’s will!’

’I can’t. If I keep looking, I’m definitely going to break my vow tonight!’

’A man has to be true to his word!’

"Well, uh, I’m going to bed. You all should get some sleep too."

With that, he went back to his bedroom alone.

Watching Xu Yun flee, the women’s spirits sank.

’Everything was fine... how did he suddenly become... unable?’

With Xu Yun gone from the living room, everyone returned to their respective bedrooms.

The lights were turned off.

But no one was sleeping; they were talking.

"Susu."

In the dark bedroom, Li Jinshu couldn’t sleep. She voiced her doubts to Su Mu, "Your ex-husband couldn’t perform either, right? Is this kind of thing really incurable?"

"I’m not really sure, to be honest."

Su Mu replied, "My ex-husband’s inability to perform was a huge sore spot for him. I rarely brought it up, but he secretly went behind my back to see many doctors and try various folk remedies."

"And they had no effect at all?"

"Later on, I didn’t let him touch me, so I don’t know."

Su Mu thought for a moment, then said, "But since he was able to find another woman on the side, it must have worked to some extent."

"Then should you ask him? Which doctor he saw, or what folk remedy he used?"

"This kind of thing is different for everyone."

Su Mu said, "It could be psychological, or it could be physical. We don’t actually know the specific cause of his problem.

Besides, would he even be willing to cooperate with treatment?

Or rather, how would we even persuade him?

I’m sure he wouldn’t want us to know that he can’t perform."

"For a man, that’s definitely a difficult thing to accept!"

Li Jinshu sighed. "Especially since he was ridiculously good before. He must be having a hard time accepting it now."

"Exactly, so we can’t rush this."

Su Mu suddenly asked curiously, "Jinshu, what if—and I’m just saying what if—Xu Yun really can’t perform anymore? Would you leave him?"

"Of course not!"

Li Jinshu said firmly, "Do you really think I’m that kind of fickle woman, only with a man for one thing?

I’ll stay by his side and do everything I can to help him get treatment and restore his dignity as a man.

At worst, I’ll be a widow for the rest of my life, a living widow."

"I didn’t realize you liked Xu Yun that much."

Su Mu’s expression was complicated. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, "Jinshu, for Xu Yun’s sake, are you really willing to do anything?"

"Of course. Why do you ask?"

Su Mu said, "Actually, back when I was trying to help my ex-husband, I secretly learned a special stimulation therapy from a female expert in the field. But we fell out before I ever got the chance to use it on him."

"Really? What kind of method?"

Su Mu shyly whispered in her ear for a moment. Afterward, Li Jinshu looked at her best friend with a complicated expression.

"You’re saying... you have to... with Xu Yun... to help him?"

"Yes."

Su Mu nodded. "That’s why I wasn’t going to tell you."

"But I don’t want you to sacrifice yourself like this for my sake."

Li Jinshu said guiltily, "Knowing your personality, once something like that happens between you and Xu Yun, you’ll be tied together."

"It’s not really a sacrifice. Xu Yun is a good person, and he’s handsome."

Su Mu said half-jokingly, "Besides, we’d be keeping it in the family. It just means that from now on, we best friends might have to share a man."

Li Jinshu was speechless. "..."

"So, I’ll respect your decision. If you’re not willing, just pretend I never said anything."

Su Mu comforted her, "We can all keep looking for other solutions."

After a long moment,

Li Jinshu asked, "Your method... will it really work?"

"I don’t know."

Su Mu answered honestly, "Because I’ve never tried it."

"Then you should try it."

Li Jinshu looked at Su Mu and said with determination, "If it succeeds, we’ll be sisters for life."

"Okay."

Su Mu nodded. "And if it fails, we’ll still be sisters and live as widows together!"

"Mmm."

Li Jinshu agreed, then said, "Then go to Xu Yun’s room right now!"

"Now?"

"The sooner you go, the sooner we’ll know the result."

Li Jinshu said, "I saw earlier that Xu Yun’s bedroom door is unlocked. You can sneak in, and I’ll keep watch for you."

Su Mu was speechless. "..."

「A few minutes later.」

The bedroom door opened quietly, and Su Mu stepped out barefoot.

"So, I’m going?"

"Susu, you can do it!"

Finally, with Li Jinshu watching, Su Mu successfully snuck into Xu Yun’s bedroom.

At that moment, Li Jinshu’s expression was complex.

’It was always Xu Yun sneaking into my bedroom in the middle of the night,’ Su Mu thought. ’This is the first time I’ve snuck into his, especially with everyone else in the house.’

By the faint light from the window, Su Mu saw that Xu Yun was already asleep.

She took off her shirt right there, lifted the blanket, and slipped in.

Xu Yun was woken by the disturbance. Feeling a soft, fragrant body press against him, he whispered, "Who is it?"

"It’s me."

Recognizing Su Mu’s voice, Xu Yun was surprised. "Aren’t you in the same room as Jinshu? What are you doing running over to my room in the middle of the night? Aren’t you afraid she’ll find out?"

"I’m not afraid. She’s the one who sent me."

Xu Yun was confused. "Why?"

"Because you’re sick."

Su Mu lay on top of him and said, "So I’m here to give you your treatment!"

Hearing this, Xu Yun almost burst out laughing.

"You call this treatment? You’re clearly just after my body!"

"Stop pretending. I know everything."

Su Mu said gently, "Don’t worry, I can definitely cure you."

With that, she began her "treatment."

"..."

Xu Yun’s groin tightened, and he was completely stunned.

’Why is abstaining so damn hard?’

As a normal man, Xu Yun couldn’t bring himself to kick her out at a time like this.

He glanced at the clock on the nightstand. It seemed to be past midnight.

’Does that mean... it’s technically tomorrow now?’

A smile touched the corners of Xu Yun’s lips at the thought.

Meanwhile, Su Mu, who was busy administering her "treatment" under the covers, also realized something was off.

’Wait a minute...’

’We’ve only just started... How is it working this fast, and this well?’
