Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu's breath hitched.
Thump, thump...
All I could hear was my own heart pounding.
The surprise came too suddenly. Even though she had expected it, she still couldn't believe it when it actually happened.
My own legs...
It can actually be restored?
"But... how did you do that? You know, even modern medicine can't do it!"
Jiang Yu blurted it out.
Xia Che brought me so many surprises, each one something I could only dream of at the time, something I dared not hope for too much.
But Xia Che is like Doraemon; the surprises he brings me are inexhaustible.
Even my legs, which have been disabled for so many years, can be restored. Such an absurd thing... is about to happen to me?
"Regarding this... I'm sorry, I can't answer you because it involves my privacy, and I don't really want to talk about it."
Xia Che touched his nose and coughed lightly.
Only a few aristocratic families or powerful groups knew of the master's existence.
For most people, the name Su Miaorou has never been heard of.
If I were to explain the profound mysteries of my master to Jiang Yu...
That would probably take all night to tell.
Moreover, out of concern for Jiang Yu's personal safety, Xia Che did not want to tell her these things.
Sometimes, it's safer not to know than to know.
"I see... Alright, since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask anymore."
Jiang Yu nodded. She was very sensible because she also had her own privacy that she didn't want to tell others.
"So... the reason my legs were able to recover was because of that time you gave me a bath?"
Jiang Yu blinked her big eyes and suddenly asked, "Did you add something to the water?"
"I was planning to tell you later, but I didn't expect you to figure it out yourself... You're so smart, Xiaoyu."
Xia Che gave a wry smile. In some ways, this girl was indeed quite clever; she could even guess what he was thinking.
He simply admitted it outright: "Yes, I added some herbs to the water to restore sensation to your legs, but please keep it a secret, because if word gets out that I can restore your legs, I will never have peace again."
"The recovery of my legs won't be quick; it will probably take some time. Nobody knows exactly how long that time will be—it could be a week, a month, or even a year."
"I hope that after your legs recover, no matter who asks you or inquires about how you recovered, you will insist that you didn't know anything about it and not reveal even a little bit."
"After all, my abilities are limited. I can only help you recover. As for the others... I can't and don't want to."
Xia Che put down his chopsticks, his expression more serious than Jiang Yu had ever seen before.
He is kind, but not a saint.
The thought of saving everyone was a headache, and Xia Che had no interest in being someone else's savior.
Moreover, he has too many secrets, none of which can be brought into the light.
Therefore, it's enough to save only Jiang Yu; Xia Che doesn't have the ability to save everyone.
"Okay, I promise you."
Jiang Yu nodded slowly, her little face also very serious.
She's not stupid; on the contrary, she's quite smart.
She understood Xia Che's unspoken meaning.
In a way, the two were on the same page, because Jiang Yu didn't want to separate Xia Che, and even less did she want to cause Xia Che unnecessary trouble because of herself.
"That's good."
Xia Che breathed a sigh of relief, his smile widening.
He knew then that Jiang Yu was indeed a smart person.
"Then...then..."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu's face flushed red again at a rapid pace. She stammered for a long time before finally speaking under Xia Che's questioning gaze: "Since only you know this method to help my legs recover, does that mean... if I want to recover faster, you'll have to help me take a bath a few more times?"
Her tone grew softer and softer, until the last sentence was barely audible. She lowered her head, her face flushed as if it were about to bleed.
Having someone of the opposite sex bathe you...
Over the years, only Xia Che has done this, and it was only recently.
result……
Is it going to happen a second time so soon?
"Haha, I was just having a headache trying to figure out how to explain this to you so you wouldn't think I was taking advantage of you, but you figured it out too? That's right, to recover faster, you really need more massage, especially after a shower, the effect is the best."
Xia Che stroked his chin. "Last time it happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to massage you. I was thinking... that doing this might prevent you from absorbing the medicine properly. Now that you brought it up, how about we wash you again in a bit? Then I'll give you a massage."
As Xia Che made his request, Jiang Yu's face turned even redder.
This time, he was really bleeding profusely, and he couldn't even lift his head.
"How...how could this be!"
After whimpering for a long time, Jiang Yu finally managed to squeeze out a sentence. Her beautiful eyes became dizzy at this moment. If it weren't for the wheelchair supporting her, she might have fainted long ago.
"Why not? We've already done it."
Xia Che found it strange.
Women are truly a strange group.
If something has already been done and has brought benefits, why not do it again?
"It's precisely because it's already been done! That's why...that's why..."
Jiang Yu was even more confused. She tried hard to see some other emotions on Xia Che's face, but he was very open and honest. His bright eyes met hers, and his gaze was clean and pure, without a trace of evil.
Now, it was Jiang Yu's turn to feel a little embarrassed.
Thinking about it carefully, Xia Che was indeed doing it for his own good.
Taking a bath is a hassle in itself, and Xia Che doesn't get any benefits from it, yet he still tries his best to help me, cooking for me and tutoring me...
If I were to refuse, wouldn't that be a bit too heartless?
"Okay, if you really mind, then forget it."
Xia Che shrugged. "Anyway, washing it again will only speed up the recovery process. Waiting a little longer isn't a bad thing."
"No...no!"
Upon hearing that it would take longer, Jiang Yu blurted out instinctively.
The image that appeared in Jiang Yu's mind at the moment she was about to drown in the sea has become the dream she has been having these past few days.
If I could stand upright beside Xia Che as a normal person, it would be much easier for me to have other thoughts about him than it is now, right?
What exactly do you want?
Xia Che was even more confused.
Washing it won't work, and not washing it won't work either.
What exactly do you want to do?
