Chapter 7



◎ "Miss An, please?"◎

A man cannot say no, especially since Pei Ji was questioned about his medical skills, which was his best area.

Whether out of his competitive spirit or his "good guy" persona, I think he would not refuse this request.

Sure enough, after An Jiu said this, Pei Ji paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, then Pei will check it out for Miss An."

He changed the folding fan to the other hand, raised his right hand, and his snow-white and elegant sleeves slid down layer by layer, revealing a section of white wrist bone.

Under the wrist bone, there is a hand that can be called a work of art, with slender white fingers and distinct joints. He is thin and bony, with thin skin covering the back of his hand with distinct tendons and bones, pale joints protruding, and dark blue blood vessels winding under the skin like distant mountains, revealing a sense of beauty and strength.

Just this hand is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

It is white and clean, as if carved from white jade, or cast from ice and snow.

An Jiu's body is also very good looking. The eldest daughter has been spoiled since childhood. Her fingers are slender and tender, unlike Pei Ji who has prominent bones. Her fingertips are light pink like peach petals, a pair of soft and boneless red hands.

The man's cool fingertips fell on her fair wrist, and their hands were clasped together, one vigorous and the other delicate, giving people a strange sense of match.

An Jiu is not a hand control, but he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Unexpectedly, this subtle movement was immediately captured. The young man in white raised his eyelids slightly, and his black eyes with a faint smile under his long eyelashes fell on her face.

"What is Miss An looking at?"

He had a gentle expression and smiling eyes, and looked so harmless.

However, An Jiu's heart started to shake, and he quickly came out of his trance.

At that moment, she was actually attracted by his appearance!

An Jiu was quite good at adjusting his emotions, and in just a short moment, he regained his composure.

This man's appearance was too deceptive, she had to be on her guard.

She thought so in her heart, but on the surface, the girl blinked a few times quickly, bit her bright red lips, and said unhappily: "Why do you care what I look at?"

She spoke with a weak voice, and her face seemed annoyed, as well as filled with shame and anger.

In short, it's obvious that he's throwing a tantrum for no reason.

Pei Ji looked at her intently for two seconds, then casually looked away, with a cold look in the depths of his eyes that were filled with a faint smile.

As far as I can remember, this woman was always like this, getting angry for no reason, looking for trouble for no reason, and causing trouble for everyone except He Ziqing for no reason.

He is extremely difficult to serve.

If she wasn't still useful, he would never let her have it so easy, as he had just started practicing magic skills and needed to lie low.

[Pei Ji's favorability towards you is -5, currently -104. ]

The system sounded, and An Jiu was surprised: "-104? Wasn't it -101 before? After deducting 5 points, it should be 106."

[According to your request, no reminder will be given if the score is below 5 points. ]

As soon as An Jiu asked the question, she realized that this person must have given her some points at some point.

In other novels, the male protagonist falls in love with the female protagonist at first sight, falls in love with her at second sight, and gives his life to her at third sight.

As for her, her initial favorability was -100, which only adds up to 1 and 2 points. She is simply the reincarnation of Grandet in the modern era!

After all the twists and turns and all the effort until now, our impression of each other is not as good as when we first met.

An Jiu gritted his teeth secretly, feeling infinite resentment.

He was indeed the villain she admired, so different from others!

Before she could curse in her heart, she heard a clear and gentle male voice: "Miss An is no longer old enough to practice martial arts. Her meridians are blocked. If she wants to practice martial arts again... her chances are slim."

Pei Ji's fingers stayed on her wrist for only three seconds before he slowly withdrew them.

An Jiu was not discouraged when she heard this, she would know from reading the book.

An Jiu in the book never practiced martial arts. He was a burden to the main characters from beginning to end. He was always protected by the hero and heroine, but in the end he was so cruel as to stab the heroine in the back.

The young man in white changed the subject at this time: "But Pei also has some methods that can help Miss An to clear the blocked meridians. Although I can't make you a peerless master, you can learn some boxing and kicking to protect yourself."

An Jiu's eyes lit up, "Really?"

After all, she still wanted to learn martial arts, not only out of curiosity, but also because she was used to holding the power in her own hands.

Only by becoming strong can you be invincible.

An Jiu never placed her hopes on others. Even though she knew Pei Ji would protect her safety, she still only believed in herself in this world.

Pei Ji unfolded his folding fan and said with a smile: "Of course it is true, but the process is a bit troublesome, and I will be leaving Jiufang City in a few days, so I am afraid I will not be able to adjust Miss An's body."

An Jiu's eyes turned, noticed his attitude, and immediately started to think about it.

Pei Ji's words implied two meanings. One was that he was willing to regulate her body and teach her martial arts. The other was that he was about to leave and he "hoped" she would go with them.

An Jiu thought about it and understood. In the previous life, An Jiu fell in love with He Ziqing, so she insisted on going on the journey with them.

In this life, 'Anjiu' was saved by the knight Feiyi, and no longer liked He Ziqing, and most likely would not travel with them.

Pei Ji was trying to induce her to follow them.

She was his antidote, so of course she had to be kept under his nose.

An Jiu figured it all out and took a deep breath. He felt that this person not only had superb acting skills, but was also extremely meticulous and had taken every aspect into consideration.

You know what, for her life, he really... took great pains.

"What do you think, Miss An?" A clear and elegant voice interrupted An Jiu's thoughts.

She subconsciously raised her eyes and saw Pei Ji sitting upright in a wheelchair, his back straight, his white clothes whiter than snow, the corners of his light-colored lips slightly raised. Even though he was walking in this dark tunnel, he gave people a feeling of bright and clear weather.

An Jiu pursed his lips and suddenly said, "I'm tired."

These words came so suddenly that even Pei Ji couldn't help but be stunned.

"What?"

An Jiu looked down at her feet, then looked at him and repeated, "I'm so tired from walking."

This tunnel is really long and I don’t know where it leads to.

They had been walking for a long time. This body had never walked such a long distance before. Even when escaping from marriage, he had to take a carriage. An Jiu's feet were sore from walking.

The smile on the young man's face could no longer be maintained. Under the girl's unblinking gaze, the corners of his mouth slowly straightened, his eyes became dark, and gradually lost their expression: "Miss An, what do you mean by this?"

An Jiu pursed her lips tightly to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

She cleared her throat and looked towards Pei Ji: "Doctor Pei, your wheelchair seems quite comfortable, huh?"

Everyone can hear the meaning behind the words.

Ah Qi, who had been patient all the way, finally couldn't help it anymore and said in a rough voice: "What are you thinking, woman? The young master doesn't care about your rudeness, but you dare to push it even further!"

If the young master had not been present, Ah Qi would have wanted to slap to death this woman who was disrespectful to the young master.

Pei Ji even stopped waving the folding fan in his hand. An Jiu was sure that the shock in his eyes at this moment was not fake.

"Miss An, are you... trying to snatch the wheelchair from a cripple like me?" Perhaps because he was too shocked, Pei Ji's tone was extremely uncertain.

He even said with his own mouth that he was crippled.

Not to mention this life, he had never seen Anjiu do this in his previous life!

Did he know too little about this woman? Or did he underestimate her limits?

An Jiu quickly shook his head and waved his hands, trying to prove that he was not that shameless: "No, no, why would I steal Dr. Pei's wheelchair? I'm sitting on it, what are you sitting on?"

After a pause, as the master and servant gradually calmed down, she whispered, "Yes, I see your wheelchair is not small," she gestured with her fingers and tried to test him, "Maybe it can accommodate two people? Or, we can just squeeze in?"

This wheelchair was obviously tailor-made for Pei Ji. It is spacious and comfortable, with a cushion at the back and armrests on both sides. The entire wheelchair is made of precious golden nanmu wood, and the bottom is also shock-absorbing, making it a very luxurious device.

To be honest, An Jiu had been eyeing it for a long time.

Pei Ji: “…”

Ah Qi stared and opened her mouth, then after a while she uttered: "You, you are a girl, how can you be so shameless!"

An Jiu got angry and said with his hands on his hips, "How can I be shameless? Can't I take a break when I'm tired?"

"Young Master is also a man!"

"What's wrong with the man? Isn't he lame? His legs are just for show. Am I desecrating him by sitting next to him?"

"This, this, this, you, you are unreasonable!"

"Isn't Doctor Pei a well-known kindhearted person? Why can't you let me squeeze in? I'm small and can't take up much space. Doctor Pei, you're not so stingy, are you?"

Having said that, An Jiu turned and looked at Pei Ji.

That’s right, she is using moral kidnapping.

She didn't really want to take his wheelchair, she was just looking for trouble with him.

An Jiu was just like that. If someone upset her, she would always fight back. Even though she was restricted by the system and had to capture him.

She also had plenty of ways to make him feel uncomfortable.

The young man in white shook his wrist, and the folding fan opened with a snap. There was no pattern on the folding fan he often used, only a large and elegant word written in thick ink: Doctor.

However, An Jiu knew that the thirty-six ribs of this plain and elegant snow-white folding fan contained thirty-six kinds of deadly poisons developed by Pei Ji, each of which could kill people without being noticed.

His dark eyes looked at her quietly, like two bottomless whirlpools.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then the young master raised the fan to cover the lower half of his face. His eyebrows suddenly curved downwards, and he smiled: "Okay."

An Jiu: "Ah...ah?"

Pei Ji chuckled and said, "Ms. An is straightforward. Since you don't mind, I naturally don't mind either."

He raised his hand and moved his fingertips, and Ah Qi stopped the wheelchair indignantly.

Pei Ji supported himself on the armrest and moved his body to the side with difficulty, actually freeing up a small part of the wheelchair. With his palm facing up, he waved to An Jiu nonchalantly: "Miss An, please?"

An Jiu was speechless.

The young man in white looked at her with a smile.

The next second, she jumped up as if her butt was on fire, lifted up her skirt, turned around and rushed forward.

"I, I'll go ask them how long it will take them to arrive!"

Looking at the girl jumping away like a rabbit, Pei Ji's eyes were deep, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"laugh."

A faint laugh was heard in the air for a moment.

[Pei Ji's favorability towards you +10, currently -94. ]

The electronic sound in her mind slowed down Anjiu's running steps. She lowered her eyes and silently curved her bright red lips.

When he raised his eyes again, his expression had returned to normal.
