Ji Chengxuan wasn't particularly surprised by this outcome. When the system decided to send the two of them to the same place, it was destined that this wouldn't be just a casual encounter.
Ji Chengxuan couldn't help but turn his head and glance out of the window at Yun Que'er. A faint smile curved his lips.
It was too early to talk about love, but he did have a good impression of this little girl. They could just develop their relationship gradually.
Ji Chengxuan withdrew his gaze and chose the level - four treatment. He took Teacher Li's hand.
"You'll get better soon," Ji Chengxuan said.
A white light that only Ji Chengxuan could see slowly spread from his fingertips and flowed into Teacher Li's body through their clasped hands.
When the white light dissipated, Teacher Li gave a soft cough and slowly opened his eyes.
"You're awake?" Ji Chengxuan leaned forward. "Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Teacher Li seemed a bit dazed and replied mechanically.
He propped himself up. "Where am I?"
"This is the clinic. I brought you here," Ji Chengxuan supported Teacher Li and let him lean against the quilt stack. "It was Yun Que'er, Teacher Yun's youngest daughter, who took you to her home before. Don't you remember?"
Teacher Li's memories slowly came back. He recalled what had happened before he fainted and found that his body no longer hurt and felt much more relaxed.
"My... my stomach really doesn't hurt anymore. Did you treat me?"
Ji Chengxuan smiled. "You just had a minor illness. Taking some medicine will do the trick."
Ji Chengxuan walked out and called Yun Que'er back. Seeing that Teacher Li's complexion had improved a lot and he seemed more energetic, Yun Que'er felt relieved.
She gave Ji Chengxuan a sidelong glance. "I didn't expect you to be quite capable."
"Thank you for the compliment," Ji Chengxuan said without any modesty. He deliberately concealed Teacher Li's real condition. "He just suffered from chronic gastritis because he had been hungry for too long."
What?
Yun Que'er looked at Ji Chengxuan blankly. "That's all?"
Ji Chengxuan smiled at Yun Que'er. "What else did you think? An incurable disease? I can't treat that."
Yun Que'er's face gradually flushed red. After holding it in for a while, she roared.
"You tricked me!"
Seeing Ji Chengxuan being so mysterious before, she thought it was a serious illness. But it turned out to be just chronic gastritis?
Ji Chengxuan had a meaningful look on his face, which made Yun Que'er even more annoyed.
She knew Ji Chengxuan was full of tricks. Saying that he had to kiss her to treat the illness was clearly just an excuse to take advantage of her!
"I... I'll beat you!" Yun Que'er reached out to grab Ji Chengxuan's collar, but he easily caught her hand.
"Maybe you should go back and tell your father about this first, and then find a chance to send Teacher Li away?"
Yun Que'er was stunned. It seemed that this really wasn't the time to take revenge on Ji Chengxuan...
Wait! But what did this have to do with Ji Chengxuan taking advantage of her!
Yun Que'er suddenly realized that her hand was still in Ji Chengxuan's palm. She gave a sudden shiver and withdrew her hand.
"You wait! I won't let you off once I'm done with my business!"
Yun Que'er turned around and ran away quickly. Ji Chengxuan watched the little braids swinging behind Yun Que'er, and the smile on his lips grew wider.
Sure, he'd wait. Their story was just beginning.
In the dead of night, Yun Motan and the others saw Teacher Li off at the village entrance. They didn't know how Ji Chengxuan had treated Teacher Li's illness. Not only was the illness cured, but Teacher Li's mentality had also improved a lot. He no longer wanted to die, and even said that he would live a good life in the future and make something of himself to repay them.
Before leaving, Teacher Li stroked Yun Que'er's head.
"Good girl, you'll surely be blessed in the future."
Yun Que'er smiled shyly. She felt a bit unworthy of this blessing because it was all the system's arrangement.
Yun Motan gave Teacher Li some money for the journey and sent him away.
Watching Teacher Li's back fading into the distance, Yun Que'er scratched her head. Was it over just like that?
The system's display screen popped up. It was full of festivity and even imitated the effect of firecrackers.
"Congratulations, master, for successfully clearing the level."
Yun Que'er rolled her eyes. Sure enough, she had become a savior.
Did she have to do a hundred good deeds before this time - travel could end? Yun Que'er irritably turned off the screen.
"What are you doing?" Ji Chengxuan, who had somehow come close to Yun Que'er, suddenly asked.
Yun Que'er was so startled that she shivered and jumped to one side, looking at Ji Chengxuan warily.
"Teacher Li has left. Why aren't you going home?"
"Because I can't bear to leave you," Ji Chengxuan squinted his eyes and said ambiguously.
Yun Que'er got goose - bumps all over. Why was he being so mushy!
"Don't think that what happened during the day is over!" Yun Que'er growled in a low voice. "You took advantage of me. I'll surely take revenge on you!"
Ji Chengxuan smiled calmly. "No problem. I'll always welcome you to take revenge."
Why was this guy so shameless?
Yun Que'er clenched her small fists and glared at Ji Chengxuan angrily for a while. Knowing that she wouldn't get the upper hand today, she ran over and took Yun Fujin's hand, ready to go home.
Ji Chengxuan silently followed the group and separated from them at the clinic. From the corner of her eye, Yun Que'er saw Ji Chengxuan's figure enter the gate. For some reason, her heart suddenly felt empty.
She couldn't help but look towards the clinic's gate. After a moment, her heart skipped a beat, as if there was some kind of connection between her and the person inside.
In the dark, a new bond had emerged...
One year later.
A big event happened in Wubaili Town. It was said that the big pig - raising family in the town was going to marry a daughter - in - law.
It was heard that when the policy allowing private pig - raising came out last year, this family took big actions. At first, everyone didn't think highly of them and said they would surely get into trouble. But unexpectedly, in just one year, they became rich. The young guy who used to be penniless and could hardly get any work points had suddenly turned into a wealthy family. They not only built a new house but also put the marriage on the agenda. It was said that the new daughter - in - law was the daughter of a certain leader.
The news quickly spread in the surrounding villages. People with or without connections came especially to join in the fun, wanting to see how grand the wedding of this big pig - raising family would be.
"Xiao Que'er! Slow down!"
Yun Fujin gasped and followed Yun Que'er closely. He squeezed through the crowd and grabbed her.
"What's the rush? You're not going to miss out on the candy."
Yun Fujin held Yun Que'er with one hand and stopped to catch his breath.
"I'm so tired..."
Yun Que'er playfully stuck out her tongue at Yun Fujin. "Big brother, your physical strength is too poor. You should start exercising soon. Don't turn into an old man before I grow up."
"You little girl," Yun Fujin scolded with a smile and pulled Yun Que'er closer to him.
