Chapter 145: A Word is a Certainty
"It's going well," Zhao Chensheng said with a smile, "The medicinal effect of Tongluo Pill has not been wasted at all. β
"That's good, don't you know, there are not a few of this elixir in the old man's place now, and the more you use it, the less you use it. Steward Liu said with a sigh on his face.
Zhao Rui'er's recovery was in sight, Zhao Chensheng also let go of a worry, drank tea, and also had the mind to chat, and asked casually: "Isn't this medicine prepared by Uncle Shi himself?" Or is it difficult to find raw materials?"
Steward Liu recalled: "Raw materials are not difficult to find, I remember a time when the master himself mentioned that as long as ordinary Chinese medicinal materials are properly proportioned, there will be amazing curative effects, Huaguo has a rich history of traditional Chinese medicine geography and alchemy, like this miraculous medicine is really recorded in history, but it was lost later, and it was also passed on very evil, it sounded like a fake." By the way, I forgot to tell you, this pill was prepared by your great-grandfather, the master only cared about learning kung fu back then, so he didn't know how to configure the drug, your great-grandfather left the master several medicines, so many years, there is not much left. β
Zhao Chensheng admired his great-grandfather more and more, and said with a smile: "It seems that great-grandfather is still a miscellaneous family and knows a lot." β
Steward Liu said seriously: "Although it is miscellaneous, it is proficient. β
Zhao Chensheng suddenly thought, fortunately, he had just tried the breath of the drug, it seems that the raw materials are not complicated, maybe he will be able to configure them in the future, but he is not in a hurry, let it be.
"By the way, Steward Liu, Rui'er is an exchange student, so it's okay not to go to school for so long, right?"
"On the first day after hospitalization, she had already taken leave, and the school leaders took it very seriously and visited her in the hospital. β
"That's good. Saying this, Zhao Chensheng patted his head and said, "Rui'er hasn't eaten yet." β
At this time, Steward Liu's secretary came back with two bags and said, "Little Master, Steward Liu, I bought the rice." β
According to Steward Liu's meaning, Zhao Ruier could only eat light food at this time, so she only bought easy-to-restrain foods such as millet porridge.
The secretary left a meal and took another bag to deliver food to Zhao Rui'er. It was already more than ten o'clock at night, and Steward Liu had already eaten it, but Steward Liu still sat at the table with Zhao Chensheng.
Taking advantage of Zhao Chensheng's meal, Steward Liu explained some of his experience in contacting Bajiquan, focusing on retelling some of the insights he had heard about the cultivation of ancient martial arts by the master's side over the years, as for how much to comprehend, it all depended on Zhao Chensheng's own understanding.
In the next few days, Zhao Chensheng's life became regular again, getting up at five o'clock in the morning to start meditating, and in the morning when others were listening carefully or not carefully in the classroom, Zhao Chensheng sweated like rain on the first basement floor of the art building. After eating at school with the pig-headed at noon, they chatted or slept in the dormitory, continued to practice Bajiquan in the art building in the afternoon, and always went to see Zhao Ruier when they went back in the evening, and then went back to the house to continue meditating. What is gratifying is that Zhao Ruier is getting better every day at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
One afternoon, because the teacher was very serious, Zhao Chensheng had to temporarily give up practicing martial arts and sit in the classroom, but his mind was still on Bajiquan.
"Sixty-four hands have been mastered, what is the poisonous snake doing now?" Zhao Chensheng was in the classroom, but his mind had already run away.
"Brother Chen, you have been in school every day these days, but I don't see you during class, what are you busy with?" Pig Tou didn't listen to the teacher's lecture carefully, looked at the podium with his face, and whispered with his mouth.
"I didn't do anything, I just exercised in the art building every day. β
"Art Buildingγγγ no wonder I met you there on the first day of the awards. I heard that the first basement floor was subleased, did you lease it?"
"Yes, do you want to exercise together?" Zhao Chensheng knew that the pig head would refuse.
"Forget it, the meat on my body is all raised by my hard work, it's not easy. Pighead said.
After returning to the riverside apartment, Zhao Chensheng went directly to room 2104 as usual.
"Little young master, why are you late today?" Zhao Rui'er asked while eating fruit, in recent days, she has been used to the little young master coming back to her room every afternoon to sit down, and today the little young master came back late, so she asked casually.
After asking, Zhao Ruier couldn't help blushing, thinking to herself how she looked like a little wife waiting for her husband to get off work?
Zhao Chensheng looked at the flush on Zhao Ruier's face and didn't think much about it, thinking it was a sign of improvement, and said with a smile: "After class, Pig Head Fei pulled me to play billiards, I had no choice, so I had to play a few games, but his level was stinky enough." β
Zhao Ruier was wearing a silk pajamas at the moment, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, her bare feet exposed like lotus roots, Zhao Chensheng couldn't help but look at it a few times, quickly retracted his gaze, and scolded in his heart, "Beast!"
"Little master, I want to go to class tomorrow. β
"Ah, don't you have a few days off? Besides, tomorrow is Friday, and the day after tomorrow is the weekend, so you don't have to go. β
"It's okay, I think it's fun to go to school, listen to the lectures, watch the classmates fight, in this atmosphere, I feel like I'm really a student. β
Zhao Chensheng said distressedly: "You are originally at the age of school, what is wrong with you really being a student?!" The peeled apple lowered and continued: "Steward Liu talked to me about it, they wanted you to live like an ordinary person a few years ago, but unfortunately you didn't really integrate into society, it seems that you have found a feeling now, so let it be, it's good." β
"Oh. Zhao Rui'er nodded obediently and said: "But I have to wait until the end of this mission, and the rest will wait until laterγγγ I am too useless to say it, I was originally going to protect you, but now you are taking care of me." β
"It's okay, I also want to subdue the viper myself, besides, I'm a man, let a woman protect it, it's too inappropriate. Zhao Chensheng said.
"What's wrong with the women? Who says that women don't go hungry and protect men? I'm very good. As she spoke, Zhao Rui'er realized that her current combat ability was really not as good as the little young master in front of her, and said depressedly: "Forget it, I'm useless now anyway, and I don't have the ability to protect you. β
Seeing her sad appearance, Zhao Chensheng hurriedly comforted: "Rui'er, continue to protect me when you get better, taking advantage of the effect of the elixir, you have also been exercising recently, I feel that your true qi has awakened." β
"It's really! I've been feeling it for the past few days. β
"Then you can do it, maybe you will overtake me soon. β
More than Zhao Chensheng, this idea Zhao Ruier is completely gone, but her strength has improved, but she can really continue to follow the little master's side, at least not a person who is completely absent, thinking of this, Zhao Ruier couldn't help but say: "Okay, then I'll work hard, but the little young master wants to promise me one thing?"
"What?"
"I like Huaguo, I don't want to go back to the United States, when my ability improves, can I γγγ continue to stay by your side?"
Zhao Chensheng was very curious how Zhao Rui'er could make such a request, but looking at the strong expectation in the other party's eyes, thinking that the other party had been alone since he was a child, he couldn't say anything to refuse, so he thought about it and said, "Yes." β
"A word?"
"A word is a certainty!" Looking at the other party's happy expression, Zhao Chensheng couldn't help laughing.
"But, Rui'er, you have to promise me one thing. β
Zhao Ruier said seriously: "Yes, anything can be done." β
"As long as there is one request, that is, don't call me little master in the future, just call me Chensheng. Seeing that Rui'er wanted to refuse, she continued: "Every time I hear this title, I always feel weird, it feels like I have arrived in the old society, if you don't agree, I won't agree to what you just said." β
"Okay thenγγγ. Tilting her head and thinking about it, Zhao Rui'er said, "Then I'll call you Brother Chensheng in the future, so it's always okay, right?"
Zhao Chensheng is an only child, and now there is a lovely beauty called his brother, this feeling is very wonderful, and he smiled: "Listen to you, I can do it." β
"Brother Chensheng, hee hee γγγ"
"Boring γγγ"
Through this accidental injury incident, the two of them felt a lot closer, and after chatting for a while, Zhao Chensheng didn't want to disturb Zhao Rui'er resting, so he got up and said goodbye.
"Brother Chensheng, promise me, don't be reckless, and don't hurt yourself. β
"Okay, don't worry. Zhao Chensheng looked back and smiled.
"A word?"
"It's a deal. Zhao Chensheng nodded and left the room.
The next morning, as soon as Zhao Chensheng walked out of room 2103, he saw Zhao Rui'er standing at the top of the stairs and smiling at herself, "Brother Chensheng, it's early." β
"Early. Seeing that Zhao Rui'er had completely recovered her spirits, Zhao Chensheng didn't say anything anymore.
When he was about to arrive at the school gate, Zhao Chensheng turned his head and said, "Rui'er, why don't we go separately?" I don't mean anything else, but I feel that it is too dazzling, and I don't know what others are going to say. β
Zhao Ruier said with a smile: "Old antiqueγγγ you just said something strange at the award ceremony a few days ago, that's maverick enough, why do you care about the world's eyes now?"
Zhao Chensheng thought to himself, but the issue of men and women is different from others, it is better to pay attention, just for a while, Zhao Chensheng has noticed that many students who enter and leave the school gate are pointing at him.
Noticing Zhao Chensheng's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhao Ruier endured the sadness in her heart, pretended to be smiling and said, "Okay, do you go in first or do I go in first?"
If it is an ordinary person, at this time, she can definitely feel her true inner feelings from Zhao Ruier's face, fortunately, Zhao Chensheng has a certain sense of ability, maybe because of the real qi communication with Zhao Ruier, I feel even stronger about her mood at this time, and I feel very ashamed in my heart, it is really hurtful to do this by myself.
"Damn! I'm already famous, why do I care about this?! It's inexplicable! Let's go, go to class. β
Zhao Rui'er looked at Zhao Chensheng's impassioned appearance, pursed her lips with a smile, and reached out to hold Zhao Chensheng's arm.
"I'll go!" Zhao Chensheng thought to himself that this was not necessary, but he couldn't withdraw his arm, so he could only pretend to be calm and walk towards the school gate.
