Jiang Youran, reborn at the age of four, decided to marry her mother, Mrs. Su—who died in depression before she was 28 in her previous life—to her cousin, Duke Ping, who had always harbored feeling...
Nan Zhuo reached into his robes to retrieve the medicine, but when he looked up, he saw his master frantically giving him meaningful glances, and he suddenly understood.
His right hand emerged empty, and his tone became even more anxious, "Master! I am guilty! I forgot to bring your medicine!"
Yueyue rushed over, "Cousin! Cousin! What's wrong?"
Nan Zhuo was so anxious that tears were about to come out. "I'm afraid Master has fallen ill again."
He glanced sideways at the plum tree and wished he could slap himself. "The master must have had another attack of his asthma after smelling the fragrance of those plum blossoms!"
Wen Yuanbai was breathing heavily, looking as if he might die at any moment.
Yueyue was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She stomped her feet at Nanming, "How dare you! How could you forget to bring your cousin's medicine with you?"
Nan Zhuo suddenly knelt down before Xiao Youran, pleading, "Miss Youran! Please save my master!"
Yueyue ran towards Xiao Youran, took her hand, and said, "Youran, you're a little miracle doctor, you have a way, don't you?"
Xiao Youran stared at Senior Brother Da Bai for a few moments, then suddenly smiled, nodded, reached into her left sleeve, and with a thought, took out a box of Xin Bi Ke Du Bao and handed it to Nan Zhuo.
Yueyue stared blankly at the strange, brightly colored box in her hand.
Is this medicine?
But then Nan Zhuo skillfully opened the box, twisted the medicine to the right, and then stuffed it between his master's lips and teeth.
Wen Yuanbai took a deep breath before he could slowly catch his breath.
Yueyue looked shocked.
Is that all?
These two... it feels like they're performing magic tricks.
One person magically produced a strange medicine, and another magically stopped the asthma that had seemed like it could kill someone at any moment.
Why is that so strange?
Wen Yuanbai also concealed the shock in his eyes.
His impromptu decision was just like when he first met his junior sister in the manor. There was no way his junior sister could have predicted his asthma attack in advance. This ability to pull out medicine anytime, anywhere... must be his junior sister's special ability, right?
No wonder she always needs Jiang Youchen to cover for her.
He gradually came to his senses, and when he looked up and saw Xiao Youran's ambiguous smile, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He raised his hand and told Nan Zhuo to quickly push him out the door and into the carriage.
Then it dawned on me that I knew my junior sister had a secret, so shouldn't she be the one who was unhappy? Why was I feeling guilty?
Xiao Youran and Yueyue boarded the carriage together.
Yueyue exclaimed in amazement, "You Ran, you truly are a little miracle doctor!"
Xiao Youran stared at Wen Yuanbai, blinked, and said to Yueyue with a smile, "Senior Brother Dabai often has asthma attacks, so I kept a box of medicine on me. I never expected it to come in handy today."
Yueyue, unsuspecting, said with concern, "Cousin, Mother is often worried about your health. It seems you need to take good care of yourself."
Wen Yuanbai said gently, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Little Youran took Yueyue's arm and asked in a childish voice, "Sister Yueyue, have you ever seen Senior Brother Dabai have an asthma attack when he was young?"
Yueyue thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I'm four years younger than my cousin. I only met him once two years ago when I can remember, and my memory of him is very vague. I only remember many things because my mother often mentions them to me."
As they spoke, the carriage slowly began to move. Yueyue felt sleepy, so she hugged Xiaoyouran and leaned against the carriage wall to doze off.
Xiao Youran glared at Wen Yuanbai, flicked her left sleeve at him, and then arrogantly closed her eyes.
Wen Yuanbai looked at her with amusement, slowly let out a breath, leaned against the car wall, and closed his eyes.
Xiao Youran immediately summoned her little notebook as soon as she closed her eyes and asked in her mind, "What new features does the upgrade offer?"
I thought there wouldn't be any response, but to my surprise, two words appeared on the little notebook: "Hmph!"
Xiao You Ran: ……
She couldn't help but repeat, "If you have a problem, just say it. How am I supposed to know you have a problem if you don't say anything?"
Then a line actually appeared in the notebook: "You only remember me when you need something, and completely forget about me when you don't. Waaah... I'm done!"
Xiao You Ran: ……
"What kind of baby are you?" she asked cautiously.
The notebook suddenly displayed three bold, large characters: "This Baby!"
It even has a glittering golden effect!
Xiao You Ran's lips twitched: ...
So, your name is "This Baby"?
Is "本" the same as "本本"?
She chuckled, "Oh, so your name is 'Baby'? I thought your name was 'Little 'Hiss'—"
Because every time she makes a "hiss" sound, it comes out, right?
The words appearing on the notebook reverted to a slender, regular script, appearing much more understated: "That's because your luck value is too low, not even enough for me to level up."
Xiao You Ran: ……
I felt offended.
Then she subconsciously glanced at her luck value, and it turned into 6?
So, based on the previous trading, the number should have broken through 100 by tonight's trading, right? Why is it now down to a single digit of 6?!
She instantly bristled!
So... it used the lost luck points to upgrade itself?
Why should you use my luck points to upgrade me?
You used my luck points to level up, and you still dare to complain that it's not enough?
So all the luck points I've accumulated lately have been for nothing?
The little notebook sensed everything Xiao Youran was thinking, and then another line appeared on the notebook: "With this little notebook in hand, you are invincible!"
Xiao Youran suppressed her anger and blinked. "Tell me, you don't even have a space. Besides medicine and bringing bad luck to others, what else can you do?"
The notebook flashed, "Have you forgotten that bolt from the blue on Three Sheep Mountain?"
Xiao Youran was speechless: ...
Okay, you win.
She resignedly said, "Fine then, since you've used up all your luck points anyway, tell me what new features you'll get after you level up?"
"I'm an evolved version of myself!"
The notebook flashed excitedly and a big smiley face appeared.
"Oh, it cost me 100 points of luck to upgrade the dialogue function?" Xiao Youran looked disdainful. "So far, this function has been useless except for making me furious and causing my blood pressure to spike?"
The little notebook was silent for a moment, as if searching for something, then suddenly flashed red, seemingly excited, "Ta-da! The space function you wanted is now activated!"
Xiao You Ran: ……
This is indeed a rather practical feature.
Wen Yuanbai, who was opposite her, actually opened his eyes shortly after Xiao Youran closed them, and saw the changes in her expression clearly.
One moment he was annoyed, the next he was surprised; one moment he was disdainful, the next he was delighted.
Tsk tsk, this girl is definitely not asleep. Could it be that there's a little person in her mind talking to her?
...
