"Dirty and ssy? Nonsense. I swept it just last night," Liu Wentian retorted, having not expected the other party to really be accustod to this sort of thing—or at least not to show any sign of discomfort. But when the other person ntioned the ssiness, he couldn't help but counter.
Sheng Qiani pointed to a few corners, saying, "Look over there; those spots weren't swept properly. Where's your broom?" She finished her sentence and was about to grab the broom by the bathroom door to start sweeping.
Liu Wentian quickly grabbed her hand, saying, "No, no, big sister, what are you trying to do? I'll clean my own room."
"Humph! Ungrateful!" Sheng Qiani exclaid, irritated.
Then her curiosity about Liu Wentian resurfaced as she said, "Liu Wentian, you're such an amazing doctor. Why do you live in a place like this?"
Liu Wentian didn't answer. He couldn't exactly say he had just received his inheritance and that his previous salary only afforded him this kind of place.
Seeing that Liu Wentian wasn't answering, Sheng Qiani didn't ask further. Instead, she just sat on his bed, curiously looking around at the things in the room as though she was very interested in everything about Liu Wentian.
Liu Wentian said in frustration, "Aren't you going to leave...?"
Sheng Qiani pouted, saying, "It's the weekend. I don't have anything else to do."
"You might not have anything to do, but I do, big sister," Liu Wentian thought to himself, but he didn't say it out loud since she had just helped him buy things.
The first ti he saw Sheng Qiani, she seed like an ice queen beauty—soone who would finish a half-sentence conversation as briefly as possible. How had she suddenly changed into this childlike girl? Indeed, won are fickle creatures.
There's a saying: once you lt the iceberg, a volcano lies beneath. Could Sheng Qiani be just like that? But he hadn't done anything that could have lted the heart of this ice queen beauty.
What Liu Wentian didn't understand was that Sheng Qiani was simply obsessed with dicine. She was extrely curious about his exceptional dical skills, and after witnessing his treatnt of patients twice, she could almost be described as sowhat worshipful. Especially since last night, when Liu Wentian appeared like a knight in shining armor in a girl's dream, rescuing her from danger, an act she found hard to forget.
Liu Wentian could only say, "If you want to sit, then sit. Do as you please."
After speaking, he started to inspect the dicines Sheng Qiani had brought, nodding his head in satisfaction at first but eventually frowning and saying, "This isn't right."
Sheng Qiani asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did I buy the wrong dicines?"
Liu Wentian looked at her intently and questioned, "Did you add your own money to buy these dicines for ?"
He was familiar with the prices of various dicines, and 100,000 yuan wouldn't cover this much. Sheng Qiani must have added at least an extra twenty or thirty thousand yuan of her own money.
Sheng Qiani didn't seem to care and explained, "You scared for a mont; I thought I bought the wrong stuff. I saw so good-quality herbs, so I bought extra. You... just take the opportunity to replenish your health..."
Liu Wentian was puzzled, asking, "Why are you blushing?"
"Ah? Am I blushing?" Sheng Qiani touched her own face, feeling a bit warm indeed. She couldn't very well say that he needed to replenish his body because of kidney deficiency and impotence.
She said shyly, "Just make sure you take care of your health. I didn't add that much money."
But Liu Wentian shook his head, "That's not acceptable. I don't accept rewards without rit. I'll treat Yan Tianpeng for you, and your selling the dicines for ans we're even. You didn't have to add your own money to buy the dicines for ; I should return the extra ones to you."
For so reason, seeing that he seed eager to distance himself from any obligation, Sheng Qiani felt both aggrieved and angry, "Suit yourself. If you give them back to , I'll just throw them away. Don't worry about it! Not recognizing good intentions—like a dog biting the kind-hearted Lu Dongbin!"
She sounded just like a little girl throwing a tantrum.
"Well... alright then," Liu Wentian, seeing this, didn't insist any further. After a mont of thought, he decided to keep the extra dicines and then offered, "Don't you want to learn my dical skills? If I taught you acupuncture directly, you wouldn't understand. How about I start by teaching you so basics about the human body's acupoints?"
"Ah! Really? You're willing to teach dicine?" Sheng Qiani clapped her hands excitedly, not expecting that he would actually agree to teach her.
Liu Wentian had carefully considered the decision to teach her dicine.
On one hand, based on last night's encounter, although Sheng Qiani seed sowhat unapproachable, she was actually very kind. Besides, he wasn't planning to teach her everything about acupuncture, Spirit Refinent, or massage techniques. He just intended to share so basic knowledge, which he didn't really mind.
```
Even if it's just these basic pieces of knowledge, as long as Sheng Qiani understands and masters them, her dical skills will definitely see a significant improvent.
"Really, I can't explain the more profound stuff to you clearly, but I can talk to you about so basics of the human body's ridians and acupoints. These are also the foundations of acupuncture."
The two of them sat down straight on the bed, Sheng Qiani's face flushed with excitent. She hadn't expected such good fortune today.
"Let's start with the acupoints. There are countless acupoints in the human body, with 365 main acupoints, each with its own effect. When different acupoints are used in combination, they can produce another kind of result. To understand all the mysteries of the human acupoints, you must first understand the ridian system of the human body. The most important ridians are the twelve regular ridians and the Ren and Du vessels..."
Liu Wentian began to talk incessantly, his face serious. At this mont, he wasn't just a poor young man living in this small rental room; he was a dical Immortal, and this unique aura made Sheng Qiani almost srized for a while.
"Why are you looking at ? Listen carefully to what I'm saying. If you're really interested in traditional Chinese dicine, you must master these dull basics."
Seeing Sheng Qiani dazedly staring at him, Liu Wentian's heart skipped a beat for no reason, feeling like a small purple rabbit being eyed by a wolf.
"Ah? Oh..." Sheng Qiani snapped back to attention, her face turning red, and then she began to listen seriously once again.
Although Sheng Qiani was fully focused, she still found so of it confusing, mainly because her primary training was in Western dicine, after all.
And the things Liu Wentian was talking about, although basic from his perspective, were still difficult for others to understand. Many of the points he made were so advanced that even famous practitioners of traditional Chinese dicine might not be able to comprehend them, let alone Sheng Qiani.
However, even though she didn't understand much, Sheng Qiani was still very attentive. For the parts she couldn't quite grasp, she relied on her clever brain to rember first.
Many things she didn't understand, but she could feel how precious this dical knowledge was, and because of this, her respect for Liu Wentian continued to grow.
How on earth had soone younger than herself managed to learn such accumulated knowledge of thousands of years of traditional Chinese dicine to this extent?
At certain points, Liu Wentian would specifically stop and ask Sheng Qiani whether she understood and how much. After hearing her response, he would explain the difficult parts in even more detail once again.
Unknowingly, it was already noon. Feeling that it was about ti, Liu Wentian said to Sheng Qiani, "Let's stop here. As long as you go back and digest everything I've talked about, it'll definitely help you."
Sheng Qiani nodded happily, feeling that she had learned more today than she would from several months of reading dical books. Today was truly not wasted.
Seeing that it was noon, Sheng Qiani said, "Liu Wentian, let's go out for a walk this afternoon? I don't have anything to do anyway."
Liu Wentian rubbed his nose, thinking to himself that just because she had nothing to do didn't an he was free—he still needed to practice Spirit Refinent.
He said, "I better not, I have things to do this afternoon."
"Oh?" Sheng Qiani asked curiously, "What do you have to do?"
Seeing Liu Wentian hem and haw without really saying what he was doing in the afternoon, Sheng Qiani decided he was lying and started pulling him outside, "Co on, accompany for a walk. It's rare that I get a day off."
Liu Wentian had no choice but to accompany her downstairs, and as they sat in Sheng Qiani's Porsche, they drove out of the neighborhood under the envious and jealous gazes of many n.
Shenming City center pedestrian street.
In a high-end clothing store, Liu Wentian saw Sheng Qiani co out in another set of clothes.
Dark green denim shorts revealed a pair of legs that could set one dreaming, a pink short-sleeved top, and black leather shoes with bows.
It was a simple outfit, but everyone in the store, n and won alike, had eyes filled with amazent.
Sheng Qiani twirled in front of Liu Wentian, then asked expectantly, "Liu Wentian, how is this outfit?"
Liu Wentian repeated what he had said dozens of tis that day, "It looks good."
Sheng Qiani rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, "Why do you always say that? It doesn't show any sincerity at all! Can't you co up with different words?"
