Chapter 86 The art of storytelling
Chapter 86 The Art of Speaking
Inside the house, Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.
Fortunately, he acted quickly, otherwise, he was afraid that the body would have been completely cold by now, and not just his palm would have been indirectly corroded.
His palms were filled with fighting spirit, and he rubbed his hands vigorously. Large patches of grey crust on the palms and between the skin of his fingers began to peel off. He cleaned them up, but there were still some fine crusts on his palms that stuck to the skin like dog-skin plasters and could not fall off for the time being.
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that..."
Muttering something, Liu Xi turned around and pulled up the quilt for the beautiful woman in plain dress lying on the couch, then took out a silk handkerchief and used his fingertips to wipe the corner of her mouth where there was a little gray poison powder residue.
After a busy period, he sat on the head of the bed, with his back to Little Medical Fairy, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with subtle movements.
Fortunately, he discovered that Xiao Yixiang's poisonous body seemed to have no effect on inanimate objects such as cloth. Therefore, in the subsequent care process without direct contact, his uneasy mood gradually subsided.
Time passed little by little, and the night outside the window grew darker.
In the end, he didn't do anything unnecessary for Little Medical Fairy, because after thinking it over, he felt that it was really unnecessary. It would be better to sit quietly beside her, watching her, and waiting for her to wake up.
He has finally come to his senses.
Isn’t silent companionship also a kind of subtle care?
He would accept it if he failed to complete the task by taking two approaches at the same time!
In short, he had a hunch that the little medical fairy, in this state of just awakening from the poison, should not have lost all consciousness of the outside world, otherwise this temporary task issued by the system would basically be meaningless.
She has no awareness of the outside world at all. No matter how hard you try, how can she feel the care and warmth from her teachers?
Doesn't this mean that this mission is purely designed to trick people?
……
Liu Xi sat quietly on the bamboo chair for a long time. During this time, he noticed that the strange colorful luster on the face of the little medical fairy on the bed had faded a lot. It seemed that it would not be long before she woke up.
On the bedside table, a bowl of hot soup had gotten cold several times, but he always reheated it with his fighting spirit.
Suddenly.
The little medical fairy who had her almond-shaped eyes tightly closed on the couch slowly opened her clear and lively eyes. Her white hands trembled slightly at first, and then she raised her arm and gently stroked the smooth forehead. A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of her mouth and her expression was melancholy.
She woke up, and Liu Xi, who was sitting quietly beside her, naturally noticed it, but he did not say anything at first, but just watched her quietly.
He knew that after going through the stage of awakening her poisonous body, Xiao Yixian's mood was definitely not very peaceful at the moment.
When he first entered the room, he caught a glimpse of the page of the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra scattered on the floor.
"The opening of the poisonous body is a road of no return..."
In the sight, the bitterness at the corners of Xiao Yixiang's mouth grew a little, and there seemed to be a mist in her eyes?
"Brother, tell me, why do I have a body of evil poison? Why..."
The Little Medical Fairy's eyes became empty as she looked upwards with lifeless eyes.
As soon as she said this, Liu Xi, who was sitting beside the bed, sighed heavily in his heart. He did not say anything to comfort her, but slowly picked up the bowl of hot soup on the bedside and handed it to her.
"why why……"
The little medical fairy's murmuring to herself continued, but as time went by, her pair of almond-shaped eyes finally regained some of their spirit.
Liu Xi still didn't say anything, but just kept on doing what he was doing. The bowl of hot soup was always in front of Little Medical Fairy, and it was unknown whether she saw it or not.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Perhaps Liu Xi's arms were sore, or perhaps he felt that he should speak up. The corners of his mouth twitched helplessly, and he said weakly:
"Okay, now that you're a grown-up, you don't need me to feed you anymore, do you?"
The words slowly entered my ears.
The little medical fairy lying on the couch had her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Liu Xi didn't know if he was dazzled, but he felt that the little medical fairy's face seemed to have become a lot rosier?
On the couch, Xiao Yixian's eyes moved, and she looked at her cheap senior brother who had been sitting quietly beside her. Her eyes seemed to warm up for a moment. She slowly raised her body, stared at Liu Xi with her almond-shaped eyes without blinking, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"Brother, since you know about the evil poison body, aren't you afraid of me?"
Under the quilt and long skirt, her long legs were bent with her knees raised. She reached out and carefully took the hot soup from Liu Xi's hand, then rested her snow-white chin on her knees, waiting for Liu Xi's reply.
On the other side, under the gaze of the beautiful junior sister with extraordinary temperament, Liu Xi raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose. His eyelids slowly opened from a semi-drooped state and he looked into her eyes.
The two people's eyes met in mid-air.
Suddenly, Liu Xi smiled calmly, and then said seriously:
"Of course I am afraid of the evil poison body..."
Hearing this, Little Medical Fairy’s expression darkened, and the mist in her almond-shaped eyes seemed to condense into water droplets.
Liu Xi did not finish his words. He looked directly at the Little Medical Fairy and said seriously:
"I am afraid of the evil poisonous body, but not of you!"
Hearing the voice, the little medical fairy's delicate body trembled, her expression was shocked, and in an instant her heart was filled with mixed emotions. The tears in her eyes, which had already solidified into liquid, quietly slid down her delicate cheeks.
After a while, she burst into laughter and drank the slightly cold hot soup in her hand in small sips.
In the years that followed, she often thought of these words she heard tonight, and still felt that they were the most heart-wrenching words she had ever heard in her life.
none of them!
I am afraid of the poisonous body, but I am not afraid of you!
She will remember this sentence for the rest of her life...
Whether true or false.
……
The next morning.
The Little Medical Fairy deliberately got up earlier than Liu Xi and went to the makeshift stove outside the house to prepare breakfast.
In order to make the breakfast more sumptuous, she went to the small pond behind the house and caught the "ornamental fish" that she had raised for a long time.
inside the house.
While the Little Medical Fairy was busy outside, Liu Xi was counting last night's harvest.
Yes, at the moment of sunrise, the system prompted him that the temporary task was completed.
Although Liu Xi didn't quite understand why this temporary task had to be delayed until dawn today before the system considered it completed, now that the task was completed, thinking about these extra things would only be killing extra brain cells.
As long as the mission is accomplished, it is worth being happy about!
