Chapter 21 Really Amazing
The lively little girl named Keko admired him and said, "Big brother, so it turns out you're not just skilled in Martial Arts but also in medicine, that's really amazing!!"
She even swung her little fists in the air to express her excitement.
The originally crying little girl, Mengmeng, seemed much shyer, but her eyes also held admiration as she looked into Liu Wentian's eyes. Hearing Liu Wentian ask her, she pouted and showed him her scraped hand, looking pitiful.
Liu Wentian smiled and said, "It's alright, it will heal quickly."
He patted Mengmeng's head and examined her scraped palm, then held the little girl's hand, his spiritual Qi healing her wound.
After a moment, he asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Mengmeng blinked her bright, big eyes and replied, "It's cool and comfortable, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Seeing the shocked look on the face of the woman nearby, Liu Wentian chuckled and said, "It was just a scrape, it's alright now. The main thing is not to let the child be traumatized, you should talk to her when you get home."
The woman nodded, her face reddening as she thought about how she'd wrongly assumed he was a child trafficker just moments earlier.
At that time, Liu Wentian's phone rang. Seeing the name displayed on the screen, Liu Wentian's expression became incredibly tender.
Liu Wentian answered the phone and said, "Sister Yueyue, what brings you to call me, huh?"
Li Chuyue's soft and sweet voice of complaint came from the other end, "Stinky Liu Wentian, you quitting your job is one thing, but how come you haven't come to see me for so many days? Have you found a girlfriend??"
Her voice sounded a bit frantic as she spoke that last sentence.
Liu Wentian laughed and said, "Sister Yueyue is overthinking it, what woman would fancy a nobody like me? I've just been a bit busy these past few days."
Li Chuyue laughed joyfully on the other side, then admonished him, saying, "Liu Wentian, girls these days are very materialistic. When looking for a boyfriend, they expect him to have a car and a house, and many are insincere. Just don't randomly find a girlfriend, okay?"
Liu Wentian was somewhat speechless, thinking not all women were materialistic. If that were the case, did it mean he was destined to be a bachelor for life?
Then, Li Chuyue told Liu Wentian to come accompany her for lunch at noon, and Liu Wentian agreed.
The purple-haired girl who had been ignored by Liu Wentian this whole time watched, gritting her teeth.
This jerk, why was he so harsh to her and yet so gentle with other women. Was it possible that they were prettier than her? Or did they come from better families?
After Liu Wentian and the two little girls and their mother walked out of the intersection, he bid them farewell and started heading towards the restaurant where he was to meet Li Chuyue.
Behind Liu Wentian, a group of young men and women, who seemed too scared to speak with knives hanging over their necks, finally relaxed as they saw Liu Wentian walking away.
One of the girls said to the purple-haired girl, "Li Ruan, that guy is too ruthless; he actually dared to treat you like that!!"
The girl known as Li Ruan gritted her teeth and said, "Ignorance is bliss, I guess. This country bumpkin would never touch our world even if he fought his whole life for it. However, no matter what, I will never let him get away with this!!"
It was the first time a man had dared to be so fierce with her, the first time she was spanked, the first time she was made cry, the first time she apologized to a man… Today was undoubtedly a day she would never forget.
......
Noon. Grégoire Western Restaurant.
Liu Wentian, under the somewhat disdainful gaze of the waiter, ate his well-done steak and downed a glass of red wine.
Though he had been in the big city for a few years now, he still wasn't quite accustomed to Western food. It wasn't that he looked down on it, he just didn't understand why he couldn't get used to it.
Li Chuyue sat across from him, her smile gentle, showing not a hint of disdain.
She cut her steak slowly, sipping red wine bit by bit. To Liu Wentian, this simply couldn't compare to chomping on barbecue skewers and guzzling down ice-cold beer. That's why he once self-mockingly said to Li Chuyue that he might never change for his entire life, destined never to live a posh life but always remain a crude chap.
Li Chuyue liked Western food and was very elegant when eating it, so elegant that several times, men who looked like successful professionals had approached her.
Although Liu Wentian's manners at Western meals often embarrassed her, causing her too to be looked down upon, she never minded. Whenever Liu Wentian gulped down his wine, she would pour him more, then watch him tenderly.
Liu Wentian was never the type to bend over backward to please. Confronted with people he disliked, he would show his disdain openly. Because of this, many said his personality wouldn't help him succeed in society.
But while Liu Wentian could show a cold face to anyone, he just couldn't do the same to the gentle older sister in front of him. She seemed to be his nemesis, his Achilles heel.
When he first came to this city, he was a passionate young man, yet he also carried a certain fear of this bustling, indifferent city. It was the gentle, beautiful woman in front of him who had always held his hand and led him forward without ever showing disgust.
Liu Wentian then put a large piece of beef into his mouth, swallowed it after chewing only a few times, and looked at Li Chuyue with a sheepish grin. "Sister Yueyue, why are you staring at me like that? It's as if I did something to let you down..."
Li Chuyue, with a touch of melancholy, said, "I don't understand why, but I always feel like you're drifting further away from me. If I hadn't called you this time, I wouldn't have known when you'd call me."
Looking at Li Chuyue's melancholic eyes, Liu Wentian's heart skipped a beat. He chuckled, "Heh, so I'm that important to Sister Yueyue, huh? Could this be what they call 'a day apart feels like three seasons'?"
He blinked, teasing, "Sister Yueyue, you couldn't possibly have a crush on me, could you?"
Li Chuyue's face suddenly flushed, and she became flustered and angrily said, "Not at all! Don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing her reaction, Liu Wentian laughed, "Haha. I'm just joking, no need to be so tense. Sister Yueyue, you're several years older than me. You've always treated me like your little brother; I wouldn't dare think otherwise."
As he spoke these words, his expression was earnest, but whether or not he harbored any thoughts about this beautiful and sexy older sister, only he knew.
Hearing this, Li Chuyue, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, angrily retorted, "Who is several years older?! It's only three years; is that a lot? Who regards you as a little brother?! You are certainly not my little brother! Liu Wentian, you're so ungrateful. After all the kindness I've shown you, in your heart, I've always been just an old woman!!"
After saying this, she looked coldly at Liu Wentian, her eyes also showing a hint of hurt and sadness, clearly angry.
Li Chuyue rarely got angry, but when she did, the fearless Liu Wentian was genuinely scared.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Liu Wentian was a bit confused and awkwardly said, "Sister Yueyue, why are you angry? What did I say wrong? I wasn't calling you old, just that you're a few years older than me. Of course, you're still a super beauty."
Li Chuyue, seeing his clueless demeanor, sighed and said nothing more, but with some distress, "Liu Wentian, this time my family set me up with Fan Luo for a matchmaking. The way it looks, they've arranged everything and are just waiting for me to go through the motions."
