Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The atmosphere between Xia Wan and Chen MO felt somewhat awkward and inexplicable. Xia Wan took the initiative and said, “I’ll go check on Chen Shui and see how she’s doing.”
Once Xia Wan left, Chen MO felt the lingering warmth in his embrace and smiled.
Xia Wan went to Chen Shui’s room and found her playing with her phone, a smile on her face. Xia Wan asked, “What are you laughing at? What’s making you so happy?
Phones in this era could already be used to read e-books, but due to the small screen, it wasn’t very ergonomic. Xia Wan thought she might be reading a
novel, which amused her.
Chen Shui hurriedly put her phone away and looked at Xia Wan with a smile, “Sister Xia Wan, what do you think of my brother? Do you have feelings for him
Xia Wan blushed a bit and pretended to be serious, saying, “Your priority now is to focus on getting well. Don’t worry about other things.”
Chen Shui’s smile didn’t fade, “So, Sister Xia Wan, you’re admitting it, then?”
Helpless, Xia Wan changed the topic and proceeded to check Chen Shui’s pulse.
After a simple examination, Xia Wan nodded and praised, “You’re recovering well. I’ll do some acupuncture for you first, and once I have the medicinal herbs, I’ll start preparing the medicine for you.”
She still remembered the prescription from her past life, but the medicinal herbs were relatively scarce.
Chen Shui nodded and said to Xia Wan, “Sister Xia Wan, I feel much better now. Before, whenever I went out, I felt short of breath, and I’d get dizzy and nauseous after walking for a while.”
“But it’s different now. I can stroll around outside for three hours!” Seeing Chen Shui genuinely happy, Xia Wan smiled along.
At Chen Shui’s invitation, she accompanied Chen Shui to play a game of Chinese chess.
When Chen MO entered, he saw the two engrossed in the game.
Chen Shui put down the chess pieces, smiled at Xia Wan, and said, “Sister Xia Wan, you should go with my brother. He’s not good at shopping, and I’m afraid he’ll get ripped off if he goes alone.”
Without much thought, Xia Wan agreed.
As Xia Wan and Chen Mots departed, Chen Shui’s smile faded. She looked in the direction they left, propped her chin with both hands and mumbled, “My brother has found someone he likes. When will I be able to regain my health? I want to go on a picnic with my cla.s.smates and play freely on the playground.”
On the other side, Chen MO drove and took Xia Wan shopping. He was also observing this county town and noticed that while it wasn’t large, the constant business flow due to the nearby national highway led to many shops.
When they arrived at a jewelry store, Chen MO stopped.
He kindly opened the car door for Xia Wan and said with a smile, “I noticed you hadn’t worn the jewelry I gave you last time. I didn’t give it much thought. This time, let me choose something you can wear every day. Don’t worry; I won’t pick anything too expensive.”
Chen Shui had a.n.a.lyzed this matter with him before. The bracelet he gave Xia Wan last time was too expensive. If she wore it outside, it would surely attract attention because her family couldn’t afford such an item.
So Xia Wan had to keep that bracelet hidden.
However, he hoped that the gift he chose this time could be worn by her every day. That way, whenever she saw it, she would think of him.
The two figures heading into the jewelry store were spotted by Song Zhi, who was across the street.
Beside him was Xia Wan’s cla.s.smate Zhou Li.
Zhou Li looked surprised and said, “Isn’t that Xia Wan? Why did she get out of a luxury car? That kind of car doesn’t come cheap.”
Jealousy filled Song Zhi’s eyes as he gritted his teeth, “Yes, and there’s a young man with her. Although I didn’t see his face clearly, judging from his figure, he’s definitely handsome.”
Zhou Li urged, “Let’s go and take a look.”
Song Zhi nodded, fully agreeing with her proposal.
The two hurriedly walked toward the jewelry store.
At that moment, Xia Wan was looking at the various bracelets inside the store.
In terms of rarity, these bracelets couldn’t compare to the one Chen MO gave her. However, their prices ranged from a dozen to a few hundred yuan, not too expensive. Ordinary people could afford them with a little determination, even if Xia Wan didn’t have to pay for it now because Chen MO was covering the
expenses..
