18. Chapter XVIII

Dr. Simon probed her pulse and prescribed her two pairs of body-conditioning medicines. At the end, he warned her worriedly: "Ah Ling, you are born with a cold body, and you can't use medicine alone, so you have to pay attention to it yourself." ā€

As for what to pay attention to, Xie Ling is actually very clear, after all, he has been warned countless times by doctors in his previous life.

"You can rest well for the next few days, and come back later." Dr. Simon said again.

Xie Ling had no choice but to nod and go home with the two pairs of medicines.

Along the way, she was wondering why Chu Liuxiang appeared in her home, but she didn't have an answer if she wanted to break her head.

There is also Xie Xing, since the quilt was taken out by Xie Xing, then he should have seen Chu Liuxiang last night, Doctor Ximen said that Chu Liuxiang went to ask for the medicinal materials for decoction of Siwu Soup, so he also fried the medicine, but she didn't have the impression of drinking medicine at all?

After lying on the bed for a long time with a stomach full of doubts, Xie Ling began to roll in pain again. With her pre-travel experience, she struggled to her feet, ready to go cook to distract herself.

However, I didn't come back for a while, and there were no ingredients at home, so I rummaged through the kitchen and found only some flour left except for three handfuls of rice.

This point market has already dispersed, Xie Ling grabbed his head and hesitated for a long time, and decided to make knife noodles tonight.

When Lu Xiaofeng came with someone, she had just finished kneading the dough and was sweating.

Probably because she did look haggard as Dr. Simon said, Lu Xiaofeng asked her very nervously as soon as she came in: "Sister Ling, are you sick?" ā€

Xie Ling shook his head, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." ā€

After speaking, she turned around and saw the little boy in brocade who came in with Lu Xiaofeng, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is this-?" ā€

"This is what I told you before that I met on the way back to Yangzhou." Lu Xiaofeng happily introduced to him, "I happened to meet him on the street again today, so I brought him over." ā€

Xie Ling nodded in understanding, "That's the case, then you can sit down for a while." ā€

"What is my sister going to eat tonight?" Lu Xiaofeng asked her, and without waiting for her to answer, she immediately turned her head and touted her cooking skills to the little boy in brocade, "Let me tell you, Sister Ling's cooking is really delicious, and it will definitely not be worse than your cook." ā€

The other party nodded, and his delicate little face flushed a little, as if he was embarrassed, "I'm sorry to disturb my sister." ā€

This child is so well-behaved and cute, Xie Ling felt that the aunt who made her irritable for no reason was not so unbearable, and immediately smiled: "Don't bother, I was going to cook too, but today I forgot to go grocery shopping, and I can only eat knife-cut noodles at night." ā€

"Sister Ah Ling is delicious in everything she does!"

"Okay, so you don't dislike me." Xie Ling's hands were still full of finely crushed flour, and he resisted the urge to rub Lu Xiaofeng's head, "You sit down for a while, Ah Xing and Zhu Zhu should be back soon." ā€

Xie Xing and Zhu Zhu did come back soon.

Xie Ling was boiling the base soup of the knife-cut noodles in the kitchen, not paying attention to their conversation.

She didn't see clearly for a while in the heat, and because of the pain in her lower abdomen, she was also in a trance, and she accidentally shaved her hand when she shaved her face.

"Ahh This time she cried out in pain, and the knife in her right hand fell in response, making a clanging sound.

Xie Xing, who was waiting outside, rushed in first, "What's wrong with my sister?" ā€

Xie Ling looked at the dough that had only had time to cut half and his hand that was still bleeding, and he was also very broken, "It's okay, it's okay, I just accidentally cut my hand." ā€

She said lightly, in fact, the knife cut very deeply, the skin and flesh turned up and the blood flowed, Rao is that she wants to finish the noodles, but she must stop the bleeding first, otherwise this pot of noodles is estimated to be inedible.

She couldn't handle the fuss of the children, so she had to let them push them out of the kitchen.

Xie Xing ran to find something for bandaging, Zhu Zhu volunteered to go to the kitchen to help her finish the meeting, Lu Xiaofeng sat next to her with a worried face, but he was still comforting her: "Sister Ling, don't worry, Zhu Zhu will also cook." ā€

"I know." She smiled, "It's just that I can't treat your friend well, I'm a little sorry." ā€

"It's okay, he won't mind! And I can come back in the future. Lu Xiaofeng said as he poked the little boy in brocade with his elbow, "Do you say that the flowers are full of buildings?" ā€

"Of course." The little boy replied with a smile.

Xie Ling: "......"

She should have thought that a rich man who was about the same age as Lu Xiaofeng was still so gentle and polite, who else could there be if he wasn't blind and not blind.

When the wound was bandaged, Zhu Zhu also finished cooking the pot of noodles, and beckoned Lu Xiaofeng to come in and serve it together at the kitchen entrance, Xie Ling sat there and looked at Xie Xing with a worried look, and suddenly remembered the incident that had plagued him all afternoon, and asked, "Did Chu Liuxiang come last night?" ā€

Xie Xing opened his mouth: "Uh...... Been here. ā€

"How did he come?"

This question is not easy to answer, Xie Xing thought that she was seriously ill last night, and she was so anxious that she was going to die, and she left behind the things that she had hidden from her apprenticeship, and she didn't think about making up any reason to prevaricate the past today, and she was suddenly stuck.

Xie Ling pulled him to such a big point, he couldn't say that he didn't know him, and when he saw his eyes rolling around non-stop, he knew that he was preparing to lie, "Are you going to say that you don't know?" ā€

"I ......" Xie Xing frowned and gritted his teeth, "I really don't know." ā€

"I wonder if you have to think about it for so long?" Xie Ling glanced at him angrily, "You can think about it, if you don't tell the truth, I will know it in the future-"

"What truth?" Lu Xiaofeng, who came out with a face, interrupted her ruthless speech in time.

Xie Ling hadn't eaten for a day, he was very hungry, and when he saw this bowl of steaming noodles, his appetite also came up, and there were other people there, so he decided to let him go first, "Eat first." ā€

The noodles were kneaded by her own, not to mention the tendons, and the whole body felt comfortable under the bowl.

Zhu Zhi sighed while eating: "My cooking is still not as good as Sister A Ling." ā€

"That's good, too." Lu Xiaofeng was sweating profusely after eating, and didn't forget to ask Hua Manlou, "Is it delicious?" ā€

Hua Manlou's eating appearance is quite elegant, but it can be seen that he also likes it, at least he nodded quickly, "It's delicious." ā€

Only Xie Xing's mind was full of how to explain what his master had appeared here last night, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

But a bowl of noodles couldn't be eaten for long, and after Lu Xiaofeng and the others finished eating and left, Xie Xing still had to raise his head in pain.

Xie Ling glanced at him, as if he was laughing at his unproductive appearance, "Think about how to lie to me?" ā€

"How could I lie to my sister!" He hurriedly denied it, and said cautiously: "But can my sister promise me not to be angry......

"Looks like you know I'm going to be angry, huh?" Xie Ling thought it was funny, "Let's talk about what you see?" Something to do with you? ā€

"You promise me not to be angry." Xie Xing leaned over and hugged her and didn't let go, "Promise!" ā€

"I can only promise not to beat you." Xie Ling said coldly.

Xie Xing had no choice but to let go of her and said in a muffled voice: "He...... He took me as an apprentice. ā€

"What?!"

"That's it...... He came to teach me martial arts last night. Xie Xing's face was tragic.

Xie Ling really didn't expect it to be like this, and he was speechless, and only after a while did he ask again: "When did it happen?" It can't be that you were taken as an apprentice last night, right? ā€

The words have come to this, and Xie Xing didn't hide it from her, "Let's go to the front of the Ximen Medical Center." ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ It's been so long?! She was shocked, "You have been hiding such a big thing from me for so long?" ā€

"I—I'm afraid you'll be angry, sister." Xie Xing shrank his head and added, "But I definitely didn't delay the class!" Master praises me for my wisdom today! ā€

Xie Ling forgave him for not having the courage to do so, but he still couldn't calm down, "Then you follow him every night to learn?" ā€

"yes, yes." He nodded in acknowledgement.

Xie Ling was actually not surprised to hear this answer, to be honest, she wasn't even very angry, she was just a little weak.

She sent Xie Xing to the private school in the hope that the two of them could avoid the troubled waters of the rivers and lakes as much as possible in the future, but she didn't expect that in the end, not only did she not avoid it, but she also directly got involved with a character like Chu Liuxiang in the master-apprentice relationship.

"You're good enough." She sighed, "Isn't it good to study hard?" What do you do when you learn martial arts? ā€

Xie Xing answered this question confidently, "Only after learning well can I protect my sister." ā€

Xie Ling felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this answer, "I don't need to protect it, I just hope that you will study hard and be named on the gold list in the future." ā€

"I'll read the book." Xie Xing's voice became a little muffled again.

"Okay, I didn't say anything to you, you're still wronged." Xie Ling couldn't see his unhappy face, "Since the wood is already in the boat, I can still force you to cut off the master-apprentice relationship with him." ā€

…… He didn't want to say he was really that worried.

"Is he coming tonight?" Xie Ling asked again.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Come. ā€

"Just come." Xie Ling stood up and began to clean up the dishes, "I have to meet him." ā€

Xie Xing felt that her sister at this moment was full of murderous energy, and there was no room for refusal at all, so she had no choice but to nod her head, "Okay, okay." ā€

He also wanted to inform Chu Liuxiang not to come tonight, but since the apprenticeship, Chu Liuxiang has always come to look for him, and he is completely unclear about his master's whereabouts, and he can't notify him if he wants to.

Before the crossing, Xie Ling was a person who was particularly sleepy when she reached the menstrual period, and after the crossing, she was still like this, and she was already sleepy when she finished cleaning up the kitchen, but when she thought of blocking Chu Liuxiang, she held on.

Xie Xing didn't dare to resist, so he had to obediently squat in the backyard and wait for Chu Liuxiang with her.

Chu Liuxiang has come so many times, figured out her routine, and has always chosen the hour after she falls asleep, and she didn't expect that she would not sleep tonight to block herself.

He glanced down at Xie Xing, who was eager to bury himself, and then looked at Xie Ling's sleepy face, and said, "Miss Xie knows?" ā€

When Xie Ling heard this, he sobered up a lot, and turned his head to look at Xie Xing, "You go back to sleep." ā€

"Huh?"

"What is your reaction, can I still eat your master?" Xie Ling snorted, "To go?" ā€

"Go, go, I'll go." Xie Xing glanced at his master worriedly, and nodded his head quickly.

After he returned to the room, Xie Ling really pulled down his face.

Seeing her put on this expression, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her nose, "Miss Xie might as well say it directly." ā€

"Then I'll be straight to the point." She paused, "My brother is just an ordinary child, I'm afraid he can't be a handsome apprentice." ā€

"He's not ordinary." Chu Liuxiang pursed her lips.

"Really?" Xie Ling was unmoved, "How unusual can it be?" If Xiang Shuai wants to accept apprentices, it is better to accept Ximen Gongzi. ā€

She mentioned Ximen Blowing Snow, Chu Liuxiang naturally inevitably thought of the fact that this kid had seen him and Xie Xing split up before, and smiled before replying: "Doctor Ximen's son is indeed a martial arts wizard, and his talent is rare. ā€

However, before she could speak again, he said again: "But he doesn't have Ah Xing suitable to be my apprentice." ā€

Damn, I don't believe that Xie Xing's martial arts talent can be higher than Ximen Blowing Snow!

This thief, you have to speak with your conscience!
