Chapter 23 Tonight, is it okay?
At this moment, time seemed to freeze.
The only sound in the air was the two people's nervous and uneasy heartbeats.
Her eyes suddenly widened.
He was completely stunned and looked up at Xiao Zhiyu in disbelief.
What she saw shocked her.
A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Zhiyu's face, but he quickly recovered, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he held Ruan Chuxia's hand.
"Why did you stop?"
"Go on."
He added.
Ruan Chuxia swallowed her saliva, her cheeks red as if they were about to bleed.
Oh my god!
He was even more powerful than she had imagined!
This reaction far exceeded her expectations.
Xiao Zhiyu had only recovered a little but he was already so scary.
How scary it would be if he fully recovered!
All kinds of exaggerated images emerged in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.
When she thought of this, she suddenly regretted helping Xiao Zhiyu cure his illness!
There was a hint of ridicule in Xiao Zhiyu's eyes.
For so long, he could see Ruan Chuxia bending down to give him massage and acupuncture almost every day.
This feeling of close contact made him feel itchy inside.
You can only look but not touch, who knows how uncomfortable he is!
After all, Xiao Zhiyu is not a saint.
Now that his condition had improved slightly, his patience was becoming worse and worse, and he could hardly help wanting to get closer to her.
So he leaned down, bringing himself closer to Ruan Chuxia.
"Xiao Xia."
"Is it okay tonight...?"
I didn't expect Xiao Zhiyu to make such a request so directly.
Ruan Chuxia was stunned for a moment, then she gently closed her eyes and bit her lips.
Seeing Ruan Chuxia looking so shy, Xiao Zhiyu's eyes couldn't help but dim.
He reached out a hand and gently pinched the flesh of her cheek.
"Xiao Xia?"
After feeling the other person's movements, Ruan Chuxia seemed flustered and immediately pulled her clothes up.
Then he stood up suddenly, turned his back to Xiao Zhiyu, pretended to be busy and started fiddling with the various medicine jars on the table to cover up his embarrassment.
She said in a delicate voice, "Let's talk about this later."
"You're just starting to get better. You need to rest for a while. At the very least... you have to wait another three months!"
These words seemed to be an excuse made up by Ruan Chuxia.
But she still insisted on saying so.
At this moment, she couldn't help but cover her hot face with her hands.
Recalling her past life, she felt repulsed by Jiang Jiashu's romantic character.
Until the last moment of his life, he never officially married her.
Although Ruan Chuxia has experienced two lives now, she actually does not have much practical experience in dealing with relationships with the opposite sex.
So, when faced with Xiao Zhiyu's direct and bold proposal, she couldn't help but panic.
She is not yet fully ready to become a real couple with Xiao Zhiyu!
Ruan Chuxia's rosy lips opened slightly, and she was about to explain further.
But her waist was suddenly held tightly by strong arms, leaving her speechless.
Xiao Zhiyu slowly bent down and whispered in her ear.
"Wouldn't you like that?"
Ruan Chuxia bit her lips hard, but hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
Looking at the shy little face in front of him, Xiao Zhiyu's eyes were full of love.
He stared at her for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, I'll wait for you."
He loosened his hands around Ruan Chuxia's slender waist.
Ruan Chuxia couldn't help but shrink her neck.
"Thank you."
Hearing her words, Xiao Zhiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, then reached out and pressed her shoulders, slowly turning her around to face him.
His fingers gently stroked Ruan Chuxia's cheek.
"Xiao Xia, I will continue to wait until you are ready."
Having said that, he paused.
"But..." He started again, "Can you promise me one thing? Just don't make me wait too long, okay?"
Ruan Chuxia was silent for a long time before she finally mustered up the courage to nod.
Then, without saying anything else, he turned around and started packing the bedding.
When he was about to leave the room with his pillow and quilt, he turned around and saw Ruan Chuxia still standing there in a daze.
A hint of doting flashed across Xiao Zhiyu's eyes.
He took a few steps closer, leaned down, and placed a kiss on her forehead.
This speed made Ruan Chuxia unable to react for a while.
Ruan Chuxia opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.
"Go to bed early."
Xiao Zhiyu said softly.
"good evening."
Ruan Chuxia responded softly, with a hint of shyness in her voice.
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the study.
The next morning.
Ruan Chuxia slowly opened her eyes.
She stretched and smiled with satisfaction.
Xiao Zhiyu goes out very early every day, so there are very few chances to see him when I wake up in the morning.
This made her feel a little disappointed.
Stretching slowly, Ruan Chuxia took an old washbasin and washed her face.
Then he carefully put the ointment prepared for Yuan Cheng into his arms and rushed towards the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital corridor, Ruan Chuxia found a strange man standing in front of Yuan Cheng's ward.
The man was wearing a clean white coat and looked very professional.
Xie Hechuan held Yuan Cheng's medical records in his hand and lowered his head to look at them for a while.
Then he raised his head, smiled and said to Qi Yunhua, "Don't worry, Yuan Cheng is in good health. The Chinese medicine doctor you mentioned earlier is really an expert."
"This is the first time I've seen such a miraculous effect. If it's convenient, I hope you can introduce me to that doctor next time. I want to learn from him."
Qi Yunhua was confused by Xie Hechuan's words.
But she still smiled when she knew her husband was fine.
"Thank you, Doctor Xie! Thank you so much! We have troubled you a lot today."
Qi Yunhua's gratitude was beyond words.
As she was talking, her eyes inadvertently swept across the distance, and suddenly she saw Ruan Chuxia walking slowly towards her.
The moment he saw Ruan Chuxia, he quickly waved and shouted, "Hey...Ruan Xiaomei!"
"Doctor Ruan, come here quickly! This is the expert specially dispatched from above, Doctor Xie!"
She shouted and waved to Ruan Chuxia.
When Ruan Chuxia heard the call, she subconsciously looked at the medicine bottle in her hand and thought for a while, then slowly walked forward.
"Hello, Doctor Xie."
When Xie Hechuan saw the young girl in front of him, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Excuse me, are you the one who cured Yuan Cheng?"
After receiving a positive answer, Xie Hechuan became obviously more excited.
"I'm honored to meet you. I'm Xie Hechuan, and I've been specially sent here to assist with the treatment. I've always been very interested in the Traditional Chinese Medicine you use, but unfortunately, I didn't know much about it during my previous studies."
