Chapter 155: Suddenly Falling Ill (2/2)

Zhao Qingfeng quickly boiled the water.

He brought the medicine to Shen Lingyao, urging her to take it quickly, “Yaoyao, take the medicine and lie down for a while. Getting a cold in this hot weather, and you’re learning how to fight too.”

Shen Lingyao snorted, blurting out, “Isn’t it because I’m worried you won’t get into university and we won’t be able to be together?”

Zhao Qingfeng was taken aback. Was the little girl voicing her true feelings?

While feeding her the medicine, he joked, “You’re worried about me? What if I get into Tsinghua and go abroad for studies? Won’t you worry yourself to death?”

After speaking.

He immediately wished he could slap himself.

Shen Lingyao’s heart skipped a beat.

But like in her previous life, she refused to show her feelings, “The farther you go, the better. I don’t want to see you, this bad bee, not even for a day, hmph!”

She expected Zhao Qingfeng to retort.

But.

Zhao Qingfeng suddenly fell silent.

After a few seconds of silence, he helped Shen Lingyao lie down on the bed and then went to fetch a basin of hot water.

Returning to the bedside, he placed the basin on the floor and tested the temperature with his hand.

When he felt the temperature was just right, he placed Shen Lingyao’s little feet in the basin to soak. Then, sitting by the bed, he held her snow-white little hand tightly, pretending to check her temperature while taking advantage of the situation, returning to his usual demeanor.

“Empress Dowager, are you satisfied with the temperature of the water?”

“Little Feng, you’re doing well today. Why are you so attentive?”

“Hey, a monk should be compassionate. Since you’re sick today, I won’t tease you. Just get better quickly. As long as you’re healthy for the exam, I guarantee I’ll get into university.”

“Really? Then massage my feet, and I’ll believe you!”

“Shh! May I ask the Empress Dowager, do you prefer the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms or the Thirteen Sandstorm Techniques?”

“I’ll take the latter, haven’t heard of it.”

“Hmm, that’s Tian Boguang’s technique. You know Tian Boguang, right? Nicknamed ‘Completely Naked’. If you want to enjoy it, you have to strip naked so I can massage you. This is called taking advantage of your illness to take your life, heh heh heh!”

“(╬◣д◢) Stinky show-off, taking advantage, asking for a beating!”

Shen Lingyao, too weak to get up, managed to splash some water with her little feet.

Droplets splashed onto Zhao Qingfeng’s face, and he quickly grabbed a towel to wipe his face.

Only after wiping did he realize it was the towel Shen Lingyao used for her feet.

Eh.

The little girl was really clean, using a towel as white and fragrant for her feet as one would for the face!

…

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

After Zhao Qingfeng repeatedly assured her he could get into Ji Province University, Shen Lingyao’s condition significantly improved within a day.

When the two studied until over seven in the evening, Zhang Yang came over to ask questions.

After discussing a few problems, Zhang Yang said he was bored from studying all day and suggested taking a walk.

Shen Lingyao agreed, pulling Zhao Qingfeng along.

The three of them enjoyed the night breeze on the streets and soon wandered near the night market.

After Zhang Yang returned with some grilled sausages, Zhao Qingfeng asked him, “Zhang Yang, the university entrance exam is coming up. What do you want to do after it’s over? Come on, tell your brother Zhao, shout out your dreams, and I’ll help make them come true!”

Just this question.

Left Zhang Yang completely stumped on the spot.

He had no dreams.

Aside from wanting to be with Fu Xiaoli, he knew nothing about his future, “I don’t know, I’ll just follow you, Brother Zhao. Wherever you go, I’ll follow. Just tell me if that’s okay!”

Why wouldn’t it be?

Zhang Yang was Zhao Qingfeng’s most trusted friend, a brother for life.

As the two chatted and laughed, Shen Lingyao suddenly screamed beside them.

Zhao Qingfeng was startled.

Zhang Yang quickly picked up a brick.

Both turned their heads to look.

At that moment.

Shen Lingyao’s hand was firmly grasped by another hand!
