Although Jiu Nan raised her, after she was eight or nine years old, she did her own laundry and cooking. Two years later, she also learned to do beautiful needlework and naturally knew how to buy groceries.
Tong Xiangyu was overjoyed and immediately extended an olive branch: "Would you like to work at our inn? Full-time grocery shopping job, two coins a month, but accommodation and meals are included!"
"Okay, okay!"
A smile bloomed on Ake's face, and she nodded repeatedly!
He looked at Tong Xiangyu as if she were an exceptionally kind person...
Wanwan and the others scoffed. Manager Tong was as stingy as ever. Chen Yan's appearance boosted the economy of the entire Qixia Town, and even the wages of employees in various shops increased.
Even at the most popular Tongfu Inn, all the staff still only earn a pitiful two qian of silver a month, just as stingy as our manager!
Think of this.
They looked at Chen Yan, wanting to bring up the matter of a raise.
Chen Yan, however, was quick to react and returned to his room.
"Ha, you want a raise? No way!"
Chen Yan closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed, and was about to draw a lottery ticket after earning more than 20,000 collapse points.
But then they heard a knock on the door.
After opening the door.
They discovered that the person standing at the door was none other than Lianxing.
"Lianxing, is something the matter?"
Chen Yan was suspicious.
Why is Lianxing coming to my room out of the blue?
"Let's close the door first."
Lianxing blushed slightly, walked into the room, and closed the door behind her...
Chapter 178 Straight Man Chen Yan, Lianxing Girl Collapses!
She watched as Lianxing walked into her room and closed the door behind her.
Chen Yan was a little confused.
He certainly wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that Lianxing was learning from Wanwan and was offering herself up to him for a two-person activity.
but.
You can't hit someone who's smiling, so since the other party came to your door on their own initiative, Chen Yan couldn't turn them away.
He poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Lianxing.
"Here, Lianxing, have some tea."
Lianxing took the teacup, her fingers lightly touching Chen Yan's.
Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat... Hmm, it feels very tender and smooth.
Lianxing stiffened slightly, took the teacup, and said thank you.
She took another sip of tea to calm her fluctuating emotions.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked up and gave Chen Yan a disapproving look with her bright, star-like eyes.
"Manager Chen, I'm not young anymore, I'm old enough to be your aunt, could you please stop calling me 'little sister'?"
This...this doesn't feel right..."
After saying this.
Her fair, delicate cheeks were slightly flushed.
Chen Yan chuckled and said with a hint of teasing, "You look like a girl, and your lively personality is like a girl's too. You look several years younger than me. Do you expect me to shamelessly call you Aunt Lianxing?"
I can hardly bring myself to say that.
Chen Yan rejected the suggestion.
Lianxing wanted to say something more.
But then she recalled what Chen Yan had said—that she looked like a girl and appeared several years younger than him—and felt a surge of secret delight.
The heavy weight that had been pressing on my heart has finally been lifted.
Overjoyed.
"So, so he never cared that I was so much older than him, and he kept calling me 'little sister'... Oh well, I'll let him call me whatever he wants from now on. Anyway, I don't want him to actually call me 'auntie'. I don't want that at all."
Think of this.
Lianxing nodded almost unconsciously, and said with a hint of shyness, "Okay, then, then you can call me sister from now on... but, but, I won't call you brother."
Chen Yan smiled and nodded.
Walk to the bedside and sit down.
Holding a teacup, he waited patiently for Lianxing to explain the purpose of her visit...
Alone in the small room, with Chen Yan watching her, Lianxing felt the room temperature rise considerably, and she even felt a bit thirsty.
He took another sip of tea to calm his racing heart.
After a brief silence.
Lianxing glanced at her slightly deformed left hand and left foot, hidden under her sleeves and skirt.
A look of sadness and inferiority suddenly appeared on his face.
He said in a low, dejected voice, "Manager Chen, I heard from Wuqing that you have unparalleled medical skills and cured her legs."
I wonder if you... could you heal my left hand and left foot...?
After asking this question.
Lianxing looked up.
She nervously scrutinized Chen Yan with her beautiful, sweet, and pure eyes.
The injuries on her left hand and left foot are a pain she will never forget.
No girl doesn't love beauty, especially a remarkable woman like Palace Master Lianxing, whose strength, talent, and beauty are all at the pinnacle of the Nine Provinces. She absolutely cannot allow herself to have any flaws.
This is why she came to Chen Yan's room and closed the door.
Because her left hand and left foot are a lifelong source of pain in her heart.
While doing this, she felt timid and insecure, and didn't want others to see her...
Chen Yan took a sip of tea.
A somber expression appeared on his face.
She instructed, "Your sleeves and skirt are too long, I can't see them. Pull up the left sleeve and the left hem of your skirt..."
Done.
He then gently comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, right now I'm the doctor and you're the patient. Any imperfections you have are just symptoms in my eyes, and I won't look down on you."
Besides, you're a lovely and intelligent girl, and no imperfections will affect your sweet image in my heart..."
"Thank you, Chen Yan."
I heard words of comfort.
Lianxing's eyes reddened, and she almost cried.
No one knows how much pain and inferiority she has felt over the years because of the injuries to her left hand and left foot.
Hearing Chen Yan's sincere and gentle words of comfort, it felt as if a warm current had flowed into her heart, like a drifting wind finding a safe harbor. She was so moved, so captivated...
"He, he is really, really good."
He's also very good at comforting people. Wanwan and the others said his comforting words were like stabbing someone in the back, but they were probably joking.
Lianxing took a deep breath, suppressing the tears that were about to spill from her eyes.
For the first time in thirty years, she lifted her left sleeve and skirt, openly displaying her slightly deformed left hand and left foot to others.
She had never done this, not even in front of her sister, Yaoyue.
Chen Yan carefully examined Lianxing's fair and jade-like left hand and left foot.
There is a slight deformity, but it's not too serious.
If it were a rough-around-the-edges guy, he probably wouldn't care too much.
However, Lianxing is a woman, and a woman who pursues perfection and is perfect in every other aspect of herself. She would never allow such imperfection to remain on her.
After examining it closely.
Chen Yan reached out and touched Lianxing's left ankle.
The surface is warm and smooth like jade, as if it were milk or silk, and the feel is so wonderful that it is indescribable.
For some inexplicable reason, Chen Yan asked, "Do you perhaps bathe in milk regularly? Your skin is so beautiful."
Lianxing was extremely shy as Chen Yan touched her ankle, and then she heard Chen Yan's inexplicable question.
