Chapter 233: Give up, Comfort
Lin Chujiu took the medicine box and struggled to walk outside. The palace servants had seen it, but⦠â¦
Xiao Tianyao was there, they were afraid of death. So, they didnât dare to go forward and help Lin Chujiu. The palace servants can only sympathize with Lin Chujiu silently and looked down.
Lin Chujiu walked slowly along the road. She was very worried at this time, so she didnât find the medicine box was heavy. She knew Xiao Tianyao was displeased, so she could only follow.
All the way out of the palace, Xiao Tianyao didnât look back at Lin Chujiu, even once. Not until the Xiao w.a.n.gfuâs carriage had come. Xiao Tianyao took the medicine box in Lin Chujiuâs hands. At that moment, he found out it was heavy. He wrinkled his eyebrows but didnât say anything. He took the medicine box inside the carriage and sat down.
Lin Chujiu stood like a wood in the same place and foolishly looked at the carriage. She was confused about their current situation.
âWhat are you doing? Do you want benw.a.n.g to wait for you?â Xiao Tianyaoâs voice came out of the carriage. And at the same time, he stretched out his hand.
This man⦠is really childish.
Lin Chujiu suddenly smiled and took Xiao Tianyaoâs handâ¦
Xiao Tianyaoâs hand was very big. There were old calluses in his palm and fingertips. In just one touch, she could tell. And also she found out, Xiao Tianyaoâs hand was not as warm as ordinary people.
Is it because Xiao Tianyaoâs atmosphere was too cold?
Lin Chujiu was thinking about the possible answer. But, Xiao Tianyao quickly threw off her hand. As if she was something dirty.
Remembering how Xiao Tianyao helped her today, Lin Chujiu didnât show any care about it!
Lin Chujiu took a deep breath and suppressed her impulse to swear. She got into the carriage and sat down opposite Xiao Tianyao.
The carriage was very large. The layout was very luxurious. The four corners have illuminated pearls. So even if the windows and door were closed, the light inside was just right.
There were two chairs in opposite directions. There were footstools below which made it more comfortable. In the middle, there was a small coffee table for teas and snacks.
Lin Chujiu was sitting on the right side. She wanted to lie down and sleep. Because she could stretch out her legs.
However, after she sat down, she noticed Xiao Tianyao has always been staring at her. She was a bit uncomfortable, but said: âThank you for today.â If it wasnât for his help, she really didnât know what to do.
Whether it was the insect poison or the restriction of a Martial G.o.d, she doesnât understand any of them.
âDonât be too overconfident next time. You will not have a good luck all the time.â Xiao Tianyaoâs eyes were cold, but his words were more poisonous than his eyes.
Lin Chujiu was depressed and couldnât answer back. When she heard Xiao Tianyaoâs words, she felt that her heart and lungs were suffocating.
Does he think she was too overconfident?
If it werenât for that d.a.m.n medical system, why would she repeatedly beg to cure Xiao Zian? She couldnât even find out what was wrong with him when they first met, so she had given up.
Doctors were not G.o.ds. Doctors donât have the ability to bring back oneâs life. Xiao Zianâs disease has long been a mystery to doctors.
Seeing Lin Chujiuâs sullen face, Xiao Tianyao also knew his words were harsh. Lin Chujiu was very matured and sensible, but she was also just a young girl. She was undoubtedly lovely, but⦠â¦
It was impossible for Xiao Tianyao to apologize.
In order to break the unpleasant atmosphere between the two of them. Xiao Tianyao took out the chess board from the coffee table. âDo you play chess? Accompany benw.a.n.g to play.â He will let Lin Chujiu take a few moves before he defeats her. He will not let her lose in an instant.
âI donât want to.â Xiao Tianyao really looked too highly of her. Since when did she become so tall? However, Xiao Tianyao moved his hand to the board. âYou donât know how to play chess?â Now, didnât all the young ladies in the capital studied chess and painting?
âNot reallyâ¦â How can an orphan who canât even pay her tuition had spare time and money to study something not useful?
âWhat board game do you know?â
âNo board game.â Is rolling the dice counted? That was the only thing she knew, but she was not good at it. She canât tell that game to Xiao Tianyao, right?
Xiao Tianyao looked at Lin Chujiuâs eyes and placed the chessboard on the table: âBenw.a.n.g will teach you.â
âOkay.â If someone was willing to teach her, naturally she would accept it. Their traveling time was boring anyway. Itâs just⦠â¦
The Game of Go was really complicated. âCan you speak slowly?â
Xiao Tianyao repeated it.
âIâm a little confused here in this spot⦠â¦â
Xiao Tianyao repeated it again with a dark face. Lin Chujiu noticed that the temperature inside the carriage has changed. She no longer dared to ask her doubts. No matter what Xiao Tianyao had said next, she just nodded her head: âI got it.â When she returned to Xiao w.a.n.gfu, she will ask Housekeeper Cao to find her several books about this game. By then, maybe she could understand it?
However, Lin Chujiu doesnât think Xiao Tianyao will ask her to play this game all the time. She believed Xiao Tianyao will not have the nerve to ask her to play this game next time.
âSince you understand it now, accompany benw.a.n.g to play the next game.â Xiao Tianyao put the pieces back in the jar. Then, signaled Lin Chujiu to take the first shot.
Lin Chujiu took the first shot but still losing. How can he expect a person who doesnât know the rules win?
âNo, you canât go here!â Xiao Tianyao became powerless in a board game. He really didnât expect that he will only get irritated in playing chess with Lin Chujiu.
âOh, then Iâll go here.â Lin Chujiu immediately changed her path. Although she really couldnât understand the difference between the two.
âAre you looking for death?â Xiao Tianyao has given up. He really wanted to ask Lin Xiang, how did he teach his daughter in the end? How can Lin Chujiu be so stupid in this game?
âI⦠â¦â Lin Chujiu wanted to take back her piece. But, Xiao Tianyao didnât give her a chance: âDonât regret it.â Xiao Tianyao said and put his piece to win.
âYou lost.â People said that the good players were conscientious. Lin Chujiu doesnât look like a fool, but how can her chess skill was so bad? She was a lot worse than a six-year-old child.
âIf you lose, you lose.â Lin Chujiu didnât expect to win against Xiao Tianyao anyway. This extremely brainy game was not her cup of tea.
Xiao Tianyao saved his comfort words and pushed the board in his hands: âClean up the board.â
His tone of command was really hard to accept. But, Lin Chujiu acted like she didnât sense anything. She put back the black and white stones in the jar. And put them with the board under the coffee table.
After putting them back, they arrived in Xiao w.a.n.gfu. The carriage gradually slowed down. Lin Chujiu was readying herself to get out of the carriage. When the carriage stopped, Lin Chujiu got up to open the door, but she suddenly heard Xiao Tianyao said: âYour medical skills are good. Although it was not as comparable as Divine Doctor Mo, you can still enter the top ten medical doctors in the four countries. Zianâs disease is not your problem. You donât have to worry about it.â
After he finished, Xiao Tianyao opened the door first and got off the carriage. He walked inside the Xiao w.a.n.gfu, without waiting for Lin Chujiu.
Lin Chujiu looked at Xiao Tianyaoâs departing figure and smiled. Although Xiao Tianyao scolded her and his comforting words came a little late, he admitted her ability.
Well, Lin Chujiu also admitted that when she heard Xiao Tianyaoâs words, she felt a lot better.
