Chapter 258 She Doesn't Deserve It
After drinking the brown sugar water, Qin Xiaoxiao drifted off to sleep again, unaware of when Su Lu finished washing the clothes and left.
Su Lu secretly returned to the warehouse to change his pants. Taking advantage of the absence of people, he quickly washed and hung the pants to dry. Then, he picked up a machete and went up Cat Ear Mountain.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't wake up until after 3 p.m. She went into her space to change her sanitary napkin, touched her stomach, felt hungry, and took out two steamed buns she had made earlier and ate them.
I didn't dare eat too much, because it would be dinner time soon, and I was afraid Su Lu would notice something was wrong.
After leaving the space and going down to the yard, Su Lu found that the clothes he had washed at noon were half dry but still a little damp, so he hadn't brought them inside. Just as he was about to go inside, he saw that the small door separating him from Mu Jin was open, and Mu Jin was standing on the other side of the wooden door, smiling meaningfully.
Qin Xiaoxiao blinked and quickly offered a big smile.
"Sister Mu Jin, why are you standing outside? Have you made dinner yet?"
Mu Jin walked over to Qin Xiaoxiao with a smile, looked her up and down, and instead of answering her question, asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Qin Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback. "Huh?"
Mu Jin smiled and gestured with her chin toward the clothesline, "I saw Su Lu washing your clothes around noon. There was a lot of blood on your pants. Qin Xiaoxiao, not bad, you have a good boyfriend."
Qin Xiaoxiao blushed and waved her hand awkwardly, "I didn't ask him to wash it for me, he wanted to wash it himself."
Even with her thick skin, Qin Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed. It was just not right for anyone to see Su Lu washing and changing her dirty clothes.
Mu Jin smiled and said, "Qin Xiaoxiao, to be honest, I envy you. You have a family who cares for and loves you, and now you've found a partner who truly loves you. Your future will definitely get better and better."
Mu Jin's eyes held a faint envy, without a trace of jealousy. Her gaze was clear and upright, and she openly expressed her envy of Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned again.
What? The female lead envies her?
How is that possible?
Mu Jin is the only female protagonist in all these books. She is incredibly capable, with medical skills that can turn the rotten into the miraculous. While she may not be able to snatch people away from the King of Hell, she is an internationally renowned expert in traditional Chinese medicine. Leaders from many countries around the world are lining up to have her treat them!
She'll envy her!
Qin Xiaoxiao thought she might be dreaming, otherwise how could she dream of such a fantastical thing!
Mu Jin didn't continue speaking, but instead looked at Mao'er Mountain not far away, her gaze unfocused.
“I’ve been studying medicine since elementary school, and for over twenty years I haven’t had a single friend until I came here and met you and the Su sisters.”
Although I had a good relationship with Su Yu before, we weren't exactly life-or-death friends. To be honest, our relationship was more about childhood companionship and confidantes growing up together.
I'm actually quite boring and don't understand anything, especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships. There are many times when I don't know what to do. It was you guys who taught me these things.
I used to spend most of my time on medicine, and now it seems like I missed out on a lot.
Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Oh shit! Stop it!
Please don't envy me, and don't give up on traditional Chinese medicine because of this momentary feeling. The country needs you, the people need you, and I don't want the country to lose such a talent because of me.
Qin Xiaoxiao panicked. If she really gave up, she would become a sinner for all time.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xiaoxiao advised, "Sister Mu Jin, please don't think like that. People have thoughts. Even a newborn baby has its own little temper, let alone an adult."
I have my own life. My past has shaped my current personality. I have flaws and strengths. What you think is good about me may be exactly what I think is bad.
I have nothing of value, no special skills, and apart from enjoying eating and watching excitement, I have almost no outstanding qualities.
You are different. You are beautiful, skilled in medicine, able to save lives, contribute to the country, rescue soldiers on the verge of death, treat countless patients suffering from illness, and save countless families. What you do is great, something I could never do in my entire life.
If anyone should be envious, it should be me envying you.
Putting everything else aside, just look at your medical skills. At least you won't have to worry about food anymore, or going hungry or not making money. Who knows, one day some important person might take a liking to you and want to be your protector.
She wasn't lying. This powerful female lead had more than one powerful figure behind her. She had treated many big shots in the military and political circles. Thanks to her miraculous healing, those big shots, if not completely cured, were at least much stronger than before and their pain was alleviated. Therefore, these big shots were willing to be her backers and provided her with help for her future success.
Mu Jin looked at Qin Xiaoxiao and thought for a moment, then nodded. "I was being stubborn. You're right. Everyone is different. What I'm good at is what you lack. I can use my knowledge to do things that others can't, and I can shine in this area."
But now is not the time; we have to wait another two years.
It's okay, there's still time. Take this opportunity to rest properly. Once things get busy again, you won't have time to rest even if you want to.
Seeing that Mu Jin seemed to have come to terms with it, Qin Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away non-existent cold sweat.
Well, she successfully preserved a national treasure for the future of medicine; her merit is immeasurable.
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look up at the sky.
She did a great thing and successfully saved the female lead. Heaven must reward her with something.
God: You're overthinking it!
With a slow exhale, Qin Xiaoxiao warmly invited Mu Jin to her room for dinner.
Mu Jin stared at Qin Xiaoxiao with an embarrassed look in her eyes, "Are you sure you can still move?"
Qin Xiaoxiao blushed and stammered, "Maybe, it's about right?"
Mu Jin smiled and shook her head, "Alright, it won't make a difference this time, we'll talk about it next time."
After saying that, Mu Jin said seriously to Qin Xiaoxiao, "I see that you are pale and sweating profusely. Are you having menstrual cramps?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, blushing, "Yes, a little."
Mu Jin thought for a moment, "Do you trust me? I can help you."
Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned and looked up at Mu Jin in disbelief.
Holy crap! What incredible luck did she have? The female lead is actually going to treat her?
Does she have the qualifications?
The female lead is supposed to treat powerful figures, right? When will she treat ordinary people... no, she's not an ordinary person, she's cannon fodder!
She doesn't deserve it!
Qin Xiaoxiao was devastated to discover that she was not worthy of Mu Jin treating her illness. This discovery was a huge blow to Qin Xiaoxiao.
She waved her hand weakly, "No need, I'll just tough it out."
Waaaaah... I want the female lead to touch me, ah, no, I mean take my pulse, but she's not worthy!
Seeing this, Mu Jin looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with some confusion, not understanding why she suddenly looked so listless, as if she had suffered a huge blow.
Mu Jin grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao, who was turning to leave, and placed her fingers on Qin Xiaoxiao's pulse.
