Q: How to develop a sweet relationship with a female gentleman

Chapter 106 Poisoning

Wen Zhimo wandered in the forest for many days, but did not find any cliffs, nor did he encounter any strange beasts. Looking at the lush green forest in front of him, it overlapped with the scene in his impression, similar, but different.

He had to admit that he had indeed come to another world.

What the professors said was right. This forest did have many precious herbs, but this forest was no longer the same forest as before.

Wen Zhimo and Youan wandered in the forest for a whole day but didn't find anything to eat. Instead, they found a source of water.

Water in the wild is actually very dangerous and contains many pathogens, but fortunately, the water that Wen Zhimo and his team found is flowing, so the water quality should not be too bad.

Wen Zhimo squatted down, observed the color of the water and found no major impurities, then reached out to scoop up the water and drink it.

Noticing the situation, Youan frowned. He looked very normal at the moment, but because of the toxin, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his voice unconsciously became a little weak.

"Your Mightiness……"

Male insects are troublesome. Don’t they know that you can’t drink water directly in the wild?! What if something goes wrong?!

Things like testing the water should be done by female insects. Even if the water is not clean, they will not get sick in the end thanks to their strong physique.

You An was very dissatisfied and regretted bringing Wen Zhimo out.

Wen Zhimo raised his eyes, not knowing what You An was thinking. He just felt that since the female insect was already sick, her resistance must be reduced, so he should be the one to test the water.

He walked towards Youan, holding the herbs he had just found in the forest. His tone remained calm and without any ripples: "Water in the wild may not be clean, but we have no choice now. Wait an hour, and if I'm okay, you can drink it."

Wen Zhimo's voice was unexpectedly gentle, with a hint of soothing, which made You An pause, and the words of blame he was about to say came to an abrupt end.

It turns out that this male insect knows that water in the wild cannot be drunk casually...

Drinking water for him?

The female insect pursed her lips, her emotions were a little complicated for a moment, and she didn't know what to say.

But the male insect's fragility left a deep impression on Youan. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "Thank you, but next time, let me do this kind of thing. It's too dangerous."

You An had forgotten at this moment that, relying on the secret order of the Insect Emperor, even if he abandoned Wen Zhimo and left, he would not be punished. At most, he would have to spend some time to make up some reasons to escape the charges after being discovered.

Wen Zhimo didn't say anything else. He stopped in front of Youan, raised his hand and touched the female insect's forehead again, wanting to know the female insect's current condition.

You An froze upon seeing this. Although he didn't dodge, his beautiful eyes were full of vigilance. "Sir, it's not polite to touch an unmarried female insect casually."

The Zerg has extremely strict constraints and etiquette on female Zergs, and they are not allowed to come into contact with male Zergs at will. Yuan was born into a noble family, so the education he received was even more demanding.

Wen Zhimo was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had not revealed his identity to Youan at the beginning, and considering their gender, it was normal for the other party to be dissatisfied with his behavior.

Wen Zhimo smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. I know a little bit about medicine and I want to see if your fever has subsided."

Wen Zhimo was born into a famous medical family. He was familiar with medical books and identifying herbs since he was a child. When he grew up, he entered university and received systematic medical education. Although he did not enter a large hospital due to personal reasons, he was still a serious doctor.

This is not just a little knowledge of medicine.

But now that he has come to another world, he has become the stereotypical male insect. If he speaks too confidently, he will not be able to explain himself clearly and will easily arouse suspicion.

Sure enough, even after saying this, the female insect still looked at Wen Zhimo suspiciously, opened her mouth, and then closed it again, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

A male insect knows medicine? What kind of joke is this?

As the heir of the Wen family, people have always asked him to treat patients. This is the first time that Wen Zhimo's medical skills have been questioned.

Wen Zhimo felt helpless and amused.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and his mood was extremely complicated. Didn't Bernie say that the Zerg race is male-dominated and that females will take care of all the males' emotions? But the female Zerg in front of him didn't show any intention of taking care of his emotions at all, and the suspicion in her eyes was undisguised.

In the end, Wen Zhimo didn't say anything else. After all, it was normal for female insects to be suspicious. In his eyes, there was no difference between a male insect knowing medical skills and a fish knowing how to fly a plane.

Besides, there was no need to argue about this now because their most important thing was to leave this place.

You An calmed down and no longer resisted Wen Zhimo's touch.

Wen Zhimo originally thought that Youan's fever should have almost subsided, but when he touched him, he felt a trace of cold sweat, which made him startled.

How could this be?

He raised his eyes to look at the female insect, his delicate eyebrows slightly wrinkled, silently asking something.

Youan was worried that the male insect would panic because of his injury, so he didn't tell him about the poisoning. But now it seems that Wen Zhimo has a good psychological endurance and can accept the news.

They are now in the same boat. Since Wen Zhimo wants to know, You An has no reason to hide it from him anymore.

You An closed his eyes, his lips a bit paler than this morning, revealing a paleness: "The strange beast yesterday was poisonous, I was poisoned."

The female soldier was strong and the protection of the male insect was ingrained in her bones. Youan felt that since he had chosen to save the male insect, he didn't mind a little care, so he had no regrets about going out to look for food.

However, the spread of the poison was beyond his expectations. His body was weakening rapidly, and he even had no strength left.

Wen Zhimo paused, his dark eyes unable to tell what emotion he was feeling. After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke: "You were poisoned last night, why didn't you tell me?"

She was already poisoned last night, yet today she actually went out with him to look for food.

Military females undergo hunger training and it is impossible for them to endure not eating for a day. They must have come out to find food for him.

For a moment, Wen Zhimo felt a little complicated. He didn't know whether he was angry at the female insect in front of him for not taking care of her body, or angry at himself for taking so long to realize that something was wrong with the other party.

The female insect's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her lips were turning white at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was only a matter of time before she fell down.

Youan was a little surprised that the male insect would react like this.

Was this a sign of concern or a scolding? He couldn't tell. He just thought it odd that the male insect was angry, but the poison was spreading, and he couldn't think about it.

Wen Zhimo closed his eyes, perhaps realizing his tone was a bit harsh or something, he pursed his lips, then without saying a word helped You An sit down next to a tree.

He calmed down and said, "Then do you know what the antidote is?"

There is often a saying in novels that "for every poison in the world, there is an antidote within five steps." Although there is no definite scientific basis for this, it is not completely without explanation.

Now that Youan has been poisoned by a strange beast in this forest, maybe there is an antidote in this forest.

The Bova Forest is extremely dangerous, and generally only a few insects enter it. In addition, the strange beasts encountered this time are rare, so the empire has done very little related research. How could Youan know any antidote?

Looking at the silent female insect, Wen Zhimo's brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again. He found that he had been frowning more and more since he came to this ghost place.

Wen Zhimo asked, "Were you planning to just hold on?"
