Chapter 53: The Frail Beauty Whose Life Was Extended by the Immortal Cultivator (8)
"Mr. Xiao, you are truly a miracle doctor reincarnated. You can recover so quickly. Awu believes in you. Awu's illness must be curable. Please come in quickly."
Xiao Yuheng accepted the compliment without blushing or beating his heart. He said with a proud smile, "This is just a small question. Since the young lady calls herself Awu, I wonder if I can change my name to Awu?"
"Of course you can. My name is Qingwu. Doctor Xiao can call me whatever you want." Qingwu, who has never been involved in the outside world, really does not have much knowledge and experience.
So when she heard Xiao Yuheng ask this, she agreed without hesitation.
At this time, Qing Wu had no idea about the so-called strict separation between men and women. She had not realized at all that there might be something inappropriate about a man calling her in such an intimate way and staying in the same room and under the same roof with her in the future.
At this moment, she was just immersed in the joy of being saved.
Qingwu felt that she was very lucky. Just by staying quietly in this room, she was able to meet a miracle doctor.
But Xiao Yuheng felt that he was the truly lucky one.
He was now somewhat grateful to the little snake. Wait a minute - he would make the pill and give it to Qing Wu to strengthen her body, so as not to disappoint the little snake's kindness in bringing them together.
But when he saw the satisfied look on the girl's face, Xiao Yuheng felt distressed again.
He could hardly imagine how much suffering this delicate girl had endured to grow into what she was now.
Moreover, he has suffered from illness since childhood, and the hardships he has endured are self-evident.
Xiao Yuheng felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, causing him severe pain.
He secretly made a vow: from now on, he would treat Qingwu very well, give her everything he had, and give her all the best things.
After the two of them walked into the house together, Xiao Yuheng looked around and his eyes fell on the simple and plain furnishings.
He frowned slightly and thought to himself: Such a simple house is really not worthy of such precious treasures.
Qing Wu, who was standing by, saw Xiao Yuheng's expression and thought that her house was too dilapidated, which caused Xiao Yuheng's disgust and dislike.
Qingwu was very nervous, fearing that Xiao Yuheng would give up on treating her illness if he was dissatisfied.
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly tightened, and in panic she reached out her hand involuntarily, holding Xiao Yuheng's arm, tightly grasping the smooth sleeve, and said as if she was acting coquettishly.
"Master Xiao, my home is very simple, please don't despise it. If you don't save Awu, what will Awu do?"
Xiao Yuheng was slightly startled, and when he came to his senses, he saw the stunning beauty looking at him with a pleading expression, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to drip water.
The place on his arm that she touched became hot almost instantly, and the numbness quickly spread until it spread throughout his body.
He suddenly realized that perhaps the expression he had just inadvertently revealed had caused Qingwu to misunderstand.
So he quickly said to her, "That's not the case, Awu, don't let your imagination run wild. I was just thinking about how to decorate your little house so that you can live more comfortably."
Qing Wu was also stunned when she heard this, obviously she had not expected that things could develop in this way.
Facing the beauty's bewildered gaze, Xiao Yuheng chuckled softly, scratched her nose affectionately, and said with a smile, "Leave this matter to me. I promise that by tomorrow this place will be completely new and comfortable for you to live in."
When Qing Wu heard the words "barely able to stay", she couldn't help but feel confused.
The current situation is pretty good for her. After all, hasn't this been how she has been living all these years?
However - the sound of a rumbling stomach suddenly sounded, abruptly interrupting their thoughts.
Qingwu, who had not eaten yet today, suddenly had cheeks as red as clouds, spreading all the way to her ears.
She was extremely shy, lowered her head and whispered: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao..."
Xiao Yuheng obviously had not expected such a situation to happen. As an immortal cultivator, he had been fasting for a long time and did not need to rely on food to sustain his life.
But Qingwu in front of him was just an ordinary person, and still needed to eat grains to fill her stomach.
But when he saw the beauty's face flushed with embarrassment and her shy and lovely appearance, his long-lost evil intentions were aroused again, and he wanted to see the beauty panic even more...
Qingwu raised her eyes quietly and inadvertently met the eyes of the man in front of her.
She bumped into the man's eyes, which were full of smiles and affection as he looked at her.
Qing Wu's heart trembled as if it had been scalded. She quickly lowered her eyes like a frightened deer and muttered, "I... will just eat some wild fruits picked in the mountains."
Xiao Yuheng, who had just been touched by Qing Wu's cute and adorable appearance, was startled. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Wild fruit?"
"Yeah." Qing Wu pointed to the fruits on the plate beside her as if it was a matter of course.
These fruits were obviously picked not long ago and were just rinsed casually. There were even crystal clear water droplets hanging on the surface.
At this moment, Xiao Yuheng felt mixed emotions, which were hard to describe. He just felt like he was being torn into a ball, and his heart was sour and swollen.
After a long while, he finally sighed and said, "How about this, Miss Awu, from now on, I will take care of your three meals a day."
"You look so frail. How can you survive on just a few wild fruits? You need to eat the most nourishing food every day. I'll go down the mountain and buy some for you. You can use the fruit today to fill your stomach. Wait for me to be back soon."
Seeing Xiao Yuheng turning around and about to leave, Qing Wu panicked and reached out to grab Xiao Yuheng's sleeve again.
She looked miserable, and murmured in a sad tone, "Sir, wait a minute."
Then, she raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with loneliness, and looked straight at Xiao Yuheng and asked softly, "Sir, are you leaving now?"
Xiao Yuheng suddenly realized that Qingwu had been living such a hard life since she was a child. Perhaps no one had ever cared for her so much and said that they could save her. It was a time when hope was ignited but she felt very insecure.
If she chooses to leave now, she will probably fall into panic and anxiety, but it is indispensable to buy some necessities of life for Qingwu.
