1462 Studying Medicine
After the subordinate left, Chu Man looked at the butler. “Where’s that man?”
“He was sent to the backyard.”
“Get him to come and eat with me later.”
“Yes.”
Xia Wei was still wearing the rough long robe he had brought out of the valley and had long hair.
Seeing him like this, displeasure flashed across the butler’s eyes. “Our Miss Chu hates long-haired men the most. I’ll get someone to cut your hair later.”
To Xia Wei, he received his body, hair and skin from his parents, so any damage was disrespectful to his ancestors.
However, Xia Wei was deeply influenced by Xia Wanyuan. He knew very well that being pedantic would only bring trouble. In the current situation, he could not be too different from the others.
Xia Wei did not reject the butler’s suggestion. He nodded. “Okay, sorry to trouble you.”
The stylist arrived quickly. After so many days, Xia Wei had finally taken a thorough hot shower. He sat in front of the mirror and allowed the stylist to cut his hair.
Xia Wei half-closed his eyes and took a nap until the stylist’s exclamation brought him out of his thoughts.
Xia Wei opened his eyes and saw his new self in the mirror.
His facial features were extremely good. After his long hair was cut, he was less elegant and more agile. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. The butler sighed.
No wonder he received preferential treatment from Chu Man. Such a temperament was really rare.
During dinner, Xia Wei ate with Chu Man. Chu Man was also stunned by Xia Wei for a moment. She held the red wine glass and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. “I think I picked up a treasure??”
Xia Wei unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat beside Chu Man. “Can we start eating? I’m a little hungry.”
Chu Man’s gaze darted around Xia Wei’s face, and there was obvious interest in her eyes. “Of course.”
Base.
Children grew up very quickly. When she first arrived, Little Xiaxia was still a little bean. Now, she had grown up a little more than before, and her facial features were even more exquisite. Just sitting there quietly, she looked like a little doll.
The base was silent all year round, especially beside Yu Qian. Everyone’s breathing was especially soft. However, in the past few days, Yu Qian had been the most lively in the entire base.
After all, Little Xiaxia loved to smile. When she laughed, it was like golden beans touching a bell, emitting a series of crisp and pleasant laughter.
Little Xiaxia was beautiful. When she smiled, the clarity in her eyes was irresistible. The people here had been trained to be numb and emotionless since they were young.
However, facing Little Xiaxia’s harmless innocence, everyone subconsciously softened their attitudes.
“Ah…” Looking at the test tube in Yu Qian’s hand, Little Xiaxia waved her hand. It looked like candy and she wanted to eat it.
Yu Qian tilted his body slightly and removed Little Xiaxia’s hand. “You can’t eat this.”
Little Xiaxia looked at Yu Qian aggrievedly, her round eyes wet and filled with accusation.
Looking at Little Xiaxia’s expression, Yu Qian was not angry. He took out a candy from his pocket and brought it to Little Xiaxia’s mouth. “Eat this.”
Little Xiaxia did not want to do it. She crawled towards Yu Qian from the table, grabbed Yu Qian’s sleeve, and looked at him pitifully.
Looking at Little Xiaxia’s bambi-like eyes, Yu Qian raised an eyebrow. “No.”
Little Xiaxia’s eyes became even more moist. She looked like she was about to cry and was very difficult to coax.
Yu Qian frowned slightly and repeated, “You can’t eat this.”
Hearing Yu Qian’s cold tone, the people standing beside him looked at each other. Some had even taken a step back, ready to run at any time.
In the past, when Yu Qian spoke in this tone, it meant that someone was about to disappear from this world.
Everyone looked at Little Xiaxia regretfully. Such a cute little girl. What a pity.
However, to everyone’s surprise, to Little Xiaxia, she could not sense that Yu Qian was angry at all. In her opinion, Yu Qian was just a little different from usual. His eyebrows seemed to be a little higher than before.
Little Xiaxia reached out and gently stroked Yu Qian’s eyebrows, as if she wanted to flatten them.
Feeling the warmth of Little Xiaxia’s fingertips, Yu Qian paused for a moment. He looked at Little Xiaxia’s pure eyes and the impatience in his heart was inexplicably soothed.
“Get someone to make a candy that looks like a test tube. Make it bitter.” Yu Qian looked at the person beside him and instructed.
“Yes.”
Soon, a test tube-like soft candy was brought over. Yu Qian handed it to Little Xiaxia.
The moment it entered her mouth, Little Xiaxia’s tongue was stunned by the extremely bitter taste.
The next second, she spat out the thing with a crying expression. She could not say anything and could only look at Yu Qian aggrievedly.
The corners of Yu Qian’s lips curled up slightly. “Are you still eating this in the future?”
Looking at the test tube in front of her, Little Xiaxia reached out and pushed it away. She looked at Yu Qian with a pair of pure eyes as if asking for help.
Yu Qian reached out and threw all the test tubes in front of him into the trash can. Then, he pulled Little Xiaxia into his arms. “You’re not allowed to touch this in the future.”
It was unknown if Little Xiaxia understood, but she kept holding Yu Qian’s sleeve and smiling.
Yu Qian felt that she was fun and reached out to pinch Little Xiaxia’s face. Yu Qian felt that she was fun and reached out to pinch Little Xiaxia’s face.
He had never interacted with others, but now, feeling the warm skin on his fingertips, Yu Qian did not feel any discomfort.
At this moment, a subordinate walked over from the door. “Boss, there’s a message from the Burning Rose.”
Hearing these words, Yu Qian looked up slightly. “She returned to Continent F?”
“Yes.” The subordinate nodded respectfully. “The Chu family already knows. They haven’t contacted her yet. The first person Chu Man contacted after returning was you.”
“Mm, what letter did she send?”
“She wants to meet you.”
Yu Qian thought for a while and nodded. “Sure.”
Although Chu Man’s surname was also Chu, Chu Man had been chased out of the Chu family back then. Her deep hatred for the Chu family was probably deeper than the Chu family and the Feng family.
Chu Man must have found him to deal with Chu Yi.
Yu Qian carried Little Xiaxia and stood up. He looked at his subordinate. “Where’s Xia Wanyuan?”
“She’s practicing at the shooting range.”
Yu Qian brought Little Xiaxia to the shooting range. Before they approached, they could hear the deafening sound of bullets. This was a real training ground with all sorts of high-quality weapons.
Xia Wanyuan stood in the field and trained. Sweat had already soaked her clothes.
Seeing Yu Qian walk over, Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes and aimed the gun at him.
Yu Qian slowly walked towards Xia Wanyuan with a calm expression. He glanced at the target in front of him. “Your skills are not bad.”
Xia Wanyuan moved the gun away and glanced at Yu Qian’s hand that was hugging Little Xiaxia. “Is her eating today normal?”
“She ate very well.” Speaking of this, Yu Qian’s eyes lit up. “Your child is much more likable than other children.”
