Chapter 233: Give up, Comfort
Lin Chujiu took the medicine box and struggled to walk outside. The palace servants had seen it, but… …
Xiao Tianyao was there, they were afraid of death. So, they didn’t dare to go forward and help Lin Chujiu. The palace servants can only sympathize with Lin Chujiu silently and looked down.
Lin Chujiu walked slowly along the road. She was very worried at this time, so she didn’t find the medicine box was heavy. She knew Xiao Tianyao was displeased, so she could only follow.
All the way out of the palace, Xiao Tianyao didn’t look back at Lin Chujiu, even once. Not until the Xiao Wangfu’s carriage had come. Xiao Tianyao took the medicine box in Lin Chujiu’s hands. At that moment, he found out it was heavy. He wrinkled his eyebrows but didn’t say anything. He took the medicine box inside the carriage and sat down.
Lin Chujiu stood like a wood in the same place and foolishly looked at the carriage. She was confused about their current situation.
“What are you doing? Do you want benwang to wait for you?” Xiao Tianyao’s voice came out of the carriage. And at the same time, he stretched out his hand.
This man… is really childish.
Lin Chujiu suddenly smiled and took Xiao Tianyao’s hand…
Xiao Tianyao’s hand was very big. There were old calluses in his palm and fingertips. In just one touch, she could tell. And also she found out, Xiao Tianyao’s hand was not as warm as ordinary people.
Is it because Xiao Tianyao’s atmosphere was too cold?
Lin Chujiu was thinking about the possible answer. But, Xiao Tianyao quickly threw off her hand. As if she was something dirty.
Remembering how Xiao Tianyao helped her today, Lin Chujiu didn’t show any care about it!
Lin Chujiu took a deep breath and suppressed her impulse to swear. She got into the carriage and sat down opposite Xiao Tianyao.
The carriage was very large. The layout was very luxurious. The four corners have illuminated pearls. So even if the windows and door were closed, the light inside was just right.
There were two chairs in opposite directions. There were footstools below which made it more comfortable. In the middle, there was a small coffee table for teas and snacks.
Lin Chujiu was sitting on the right side. She wanted to lie down and sleep. Because she could stretch out her legs.
However, after she sat down, she noticed Xiao Tianyao has always been staring at her. She was a bit uncomfortable, but said: “Thank you for today.” If it wasn’t for his help, she really didn’t know what to do.
Whether it was the insect poison or the restriction of a Martial God, she doesn’t understand any of them.
“Don’t be too overconfident next time. You will not have a good luck all the time.” Xiao Tianyao’s eyes were cold, but his words were more poisonous than his eyes.
Lin Chujiu was depressed and couldn’t answer back. When she heard Xiao Tianyao’s words, she felt that her heart and lungs were suffocating.
Does he think she was too overconfident?
If it weren’t for that damn medical system, why would she repeatedly beg to cure Xiao Zian? She couldn’t even find out what was wrong with him when they first met, so she had given up.
Doctors were not gods. Doctors don’t have the ability to bring back one’s life. Xiao Zian’s disease has long been a mystery to doctors.
Seeing Lin Chujiu’s sullen face, Xiao Tianyao also knew his words were harsh. Lin Chujiu was very matured and sensible, but she was also just a young girl. She was undoubtedly lovely, but… …
It was impossible for Xiao Tianyao to apologize.
In order to break the unpleasant atmosphere between the two of them. Xiao Tianyao took out the chess board from the coffee table. “Do you play chess? Accompany benwang to play.” He will let Lin Chujiu take a few moves before he defeats her. He will not let her lose in an instant.
“I don’t want to.” Xiao Tianyao really looked too highly of her. Since when did she become so tall? However, Xiao Tianyao moved his hand to the board. “You don’t know how to play chess?” Now, didn’t all the young ladies in the capital studied chess and painting?
“Not really…” How can an orphan who can’t even pay her tuition had spare time and money to study something not useful?
“What board game do you know?”
“No board game.” Is rolling the dice counted? That was the only thing she knew, but she was not good at it. She can’t tell that game to Xiao Tianyao, right?
Xiao Tianyao looked at Lin Chujiu’s eyes and placed the chessboard on the table: “Benwang will teach you.”
“Okay.” If someone was willing to teach her, naturally she would accept it. Their traveling time was boring anyway. It’s just… …
The Game of Go was really complicated. “Can you speak slowly?”
Xiao Tianyao repeated it.
“I’m a little confused here in this spot… …”
Xiao Tianyao repeated it again with a dark face. Lin Chujiu noticed that the temperature inside the carriage has changed. She no longer dared to ask her doubts. No matter what Xiao Tianyao had said next, she just nodded her head: “I got it.” When she returned to Xiao Wangfu, she will ask Housekeeper Cao to find her several books about this game. By then, maybe she could understand it?
However, Lin Chujiu doesn’t think Xiao Tianyao will ask her to play this game all the time. She believed Xiao Tianyao will not have the nerve to ask her to play this game next time.
“Since you understand it now, accompany benwang to play the next game.” Xiao Tianyao put the pieces back in the jar. Then, signaled Lin Chujiu to take the first shot.
Lin Chujiu took the first shot but still losing. How can he expect a person who doesn’t know the rules win?
“No, you can’t go here!” Xiao Tianyao became powerless in a board game. He really didn’t expect that he will only get irritated in playing chess with Lin Chujiu.
“Oh, then I’ll go here.” Lin Chujiu immediately changed her path. Although she really couldn’t understand the difference between the two.
“Are you looking for death?” Xiao Tianyao has given up. He really wanted to ask Lin Xiang, how did he teach his daughter in the end? How can Lin Chujiu be so stupid in this game?
“I… …” Lin Chujiu wanted to take back her piece. But, Xiao Tianyao didn’t give her a chance: “Don’t regret it.” Xiao Tianyao said and put his piece to win.
“You lost.” People said that the good players were conscientious. Lin Chujiu doesn’t look like a fool, but how can her chess skill was so bad? She was a lot worse than a six-year-old child.
“If you lose, you lose.” Lin Chujiu didn’t expect to win against Xiao Tianyao anyway. This extremely brainy game was not her cup of tea.
Xiao Tianyao saved his comfort words and pushed the board in his hands: “Clean up the board.”
His tone of command was really hard to accept. But, Lin Chujiu acted like she didn’t sense anything. She put back the black and white stones in the jar. And put them with the board under the coffee table.
After putting them back, they arrived in Xiao Wangfu. The carriage gradually slowed down. Lin Chujiu was readying herself to get out of the carriage. When the carriage stopped, Lin Chujiu got up to open the door, but she suddenly heard Xiao Tianyao said: “Your medical skills are good. Although it was not as comparable as Divine Doctor Mo, you can still enter the top ten medical doctors in the four countries. Zian’s disease is not your problem. You don’t have to worry about it.”
After he finished, Xiao Tianyao opened the door first and got off the carriage. He walked inside the Xiao Wangfu, without waiting for Lin Chujiu.
Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyao’s departing figure and smiled. Although Xiao Tianyao scolded her and his comforting words came a little late, he admitted her ability.
Well, Lin Chujiu also admitted that when she heard Xiao Tianyao’s words, she felt a lot better.
