【Chen Zixi×You】Tong Yangfu's Self-cultivation
As the Qingxi Saint Hand Yushan Jun who had made a name for himself in the martial arts world early on, Chen Zixi believed that there was no disease he could not cure.
...Except for being in love.
Chen Zixi didn't know what was wrong with him. After a hug under the pear tree, his love brain couldn't be stopped and he thought about his little girl all the time.
And this little rascal is also very clear about where her advantages lie, and she won't give up pestering him. Every day when she opens her eyes, she calls him "Brother Zixi". She even insists that he sleep facing her... It's really a sweet burden.
The main reason is that some physiological reactions that are unavoidable in the early morning will be particularly intense when she is around, but he dare not let her find out for fear of scaring her, which makes Chen Zixi quite distressed.
Until one evening, the little girl who went out to play came back dejected.
Chen Zixi didn't think anything was wrong at first, but then he noticed a stain on her right sleeve. He had raised her to be very clean, so this rarely happened.
Chen Zixi felt something was wrong. Seeing her evasive expression, he walked over to check and found that her ankle was dislocated.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious," the little girl explained quickly. "A little girl accidentally fell off a cliff, and I caught her. My medical skills were taught to me by Brother Zixi, so injuries of this magnitude aren't considered serious injuries!"
Chen Zixi couldn't help but hit her on the head with the handle of the fan: "I usually feel pain when taking medicine and my hands get sore when combing my hair. Why aren't you afraid of the pain now?"
She laughed dryly a few times and looked at him flatteringly: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, Brother Zixi, please don't be angry." As she spoke, she pulled out a flower from somewhere, a pink peony in full bloom. "Here, this is for you. This is a return gift from the little girl!"
Chen Zixi subconsciously took the flower in his hand, and when he looked at her again, he was filled with heartache: "Forget it... I'll help you put it back in place."
The little girl was like a mischievous creature. Seeing him approaching, she struggled to raise her hands and hugged him fiercely, rubbing against him: "Brother Zixi, I miss you so much. I have been thinking about you since the way back just now..."
Chen Zixi was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't dare to move. He obediently let her hold him, saying, "You missed me, but you didn't want to tell me you were hurt. How can that be true? It seems like you weren't really missing me."
She smiled and argued, "It's because I miss you that I didn't dare tell you. I was afraid you would worry about me. A beauty like Brother Zixi, even if she just frowned, my heart would ache."
"You just know how to coax me." Chen Zixi sighed. He really couldn't get angry anymore.
Chen Zixi could heal a mere dislocated wrist in no time, but this type of injury is difficult to maintain afterward. He patiently reminded her, "Don't lift heavy objects recently. Take time off from practicing martial arts and writing. Be careful; it's easy to dislocate again if you're not careful."
After giving his instructions and hearing no response, he looked up and saw the little girl staring at him with a dull expression, her eyes shining and her saliva almost dripping out.
He was angry and amused, and raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes: "Come back to your senses."
The little girl came back to her senses with a start and looked at him eagerly: "Brother Zixi, you are so beautiful, I like you so much... Can I marry you?"
Chen Zixi's heartbeat quickened, but he remained calm. "At your age, it's too early to talk about marriage. Two years won't be too late. Besides, you've only met a few men since you were a child, only me, Jiang Yan, and Chu Qingquan. I'm afraid you haven't figured out what it is about me that you like."
"What's so unclear about this?" The little girl shook her head, as if she had been prepared. "Brother Zixi is handsome and gentle, treats me well, and has excellent medical skills... But you must not know that this is not why I like you."
Chen Zixi couldn't help but look at her in surprise: "Then why?"
"Because you're Chen Zixi," she replied seriously. "Because you're willing to stay with me and take care of me even though you have nothing to do with me. Because you're willing to raise the children with Jiang Yan just for the sake of your friendship. Because you clearly love freedom and unconstrainedness, yet you've stayed in Buxianxian all this time."
Chen Zixi couldn't quite articulate his feelings; it was a strange, almost uncontrollable, feeling about to burst forth. He was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "What about Jiang Yan? Would you also want to marry Jiang Yan?"
"Brother Jiang Yan is my brother, so of course he can't marry me," the little girl said matter-of-factly. "And Brother Zi Xi is my sweetheart, so how can they be the same?"
...Chen Zixi felt as if the hole he was in had deepened. It was a very strange thing. He was over fourteen years older than her, but when he was with her, not only was he always led by her, but he also always felt at ease. It was really strange.
"Brother Zixi?" The little girl called out to him in confusion, noticing that he hadn't said anything. "I've said so much, so can you wait until I grow up to marry you?"
"You little liar." Chen Zixi came back to his senses and scratched her nose. "Did you forget? I said I would wait for you that day."
Her beautiful big eyes slowly lit up, and she cheered happily, "Great! I thought I was dreaming! It turns out Brother Zixi really likes me too!"
Chen Zixi helplessly put his hand over her mouth: "Be quiet, why do you need to shout about this?"
She blinked, watching Chen Zixi loosen his hand, then murmured "Oh" seriously, and asked excitedly: "Well, can I have a kiss now?"
Chen Zixi was distracted for a moment, then he firmly refused: "No." If that happened, Jiang Yan would really compete with him in sword fighting all night long.
"Oh, I can't take it anymore. My wrist hurts so much..." The little girl saw the opportunity and immediately lay down on the bed, looking breathless. "Wuwuwu, brother Zixi, it hurts so much. I need brother Zixi to kiss and hug me to make it better..."
Her little trick was so obvious that Chen Zixi was amused. He emphasized again: "You can hug me, but nothing else." Then he walked over and took her in his arms.
She rubbed her face against his chest and suddenly blurted out, "So, Brother Zixi hasn't gotten married yet because he's waiting for me, right? I've decided. When I turn sixteen, I'm going to marry you. This is called repaying a favor!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but smile, looking as if she was proud of her decision.
...Are you sure this is a return of favor and not revenge? Chen Zixi smiled bitterly.
He now felt that being in love was indeed unacceptable. He should have resisted the feeling of being completely controlled by someone, but now all he felt was pure joy.
