Chapter 21 He Turned out to Be Her Neighbor

Murong Xue thought about it for a while, and then she said it finally. The poison which the spiritual water was expelling needed to be cleaned up as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be harmful to his health. "Well... Don't move. I will wipe it for you. I am a doctor. For me, you are just a patient."

Chu Yisen kept silent for a moment. A while later, he answered, "OK."

Murong Xue unfastened Chu Yisen's clothes. Then she steered clear off his wound carefully. She wiped it carefully. She closed her lips slightly. She was so serious. And this made her look very sacred and holy.

Chu Yisen could sense that Murong Xue was wiping his leg carefully with a wet towel with her slightly cold hand. The girl in front of him was so focused. It seemed that what she was wiping now was not his leg, but a magnificent treasure.

Chu Yisen didn't think about anything else at all. There wasn't any intention in the young girl's movements. It seemed that he was just an item for her.

A long time later, Murong Xue got up to pour the water. Then she brought a light blanket.

"You take a rest here tonight. I will go to have a rest first." After she said that, she fled. She ran to her room very quickly and closed the door.

Chu Yisen smelled the fragrant scent that belonged to the girl in the blanket. It seemed that there was a stone falling secretly in his heart. It spattered waves one circle after another.

He hadn't been asleep all night.

The next morning, Murong Xue bypassed Chu Yisen who was sleeping soundly, and walked to the kitchen to prepare today's breakfast. Because there was a wounded person here, she also cooked some porridge. There was a reason why she knew how to cook. Early in her last life, she took a cooking class in order to please Fang Shihua. She gave up her rich life and cooked for him. Her cooking skill had once been praised by a top chef. She spent two years in learning how to cook. However, the man who enjoyed the food she made had never praised her for just one time. Despite that, she still felt very satisfied when she could let the man who she loved eat the food she cooked for him. Now, when she looked at the food that she made on her own, she felt that it was so ironic.

When Chu Yisen woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes, he saw a girl who wore a suit of simple home dress. She wore a cartoon apron. A lovely bow was fastened behind the apron. She was busy cooking in the kitchen. The tinkling sound of the collision of the pot and the shovel made him feel very warm. He thought happiness was just like this at the moment.

When Murong Xue held the breakfast and walked out of the kitchen, she saw Chu Yisen struggle to get up. She put down the breakfast in her hands hurriedly. She quickly walked to the sofa on which Chu Yisen lay. "Wait a second. I will hold you."

"Never mind. I'm feeling better now." He didn't hold on firmly. Although his wound hadn't been healed yet, he felt much better. He thought that Murong Xue was a highly skilled doctor more and more.

When the blanket slipped off the bed, Murong Xue saw the exposed wound on his chest which she had bound up for him yesterday. She suddenly found that Chu Yisen didn't wear clothes. The clothes he wore yesterday were too dirty to wear. "Wait a second. I will go downstairs to buy a suit of clothes for you." After saying that, she walked to the door.

"Hold on. You don't have to. Just go to the suite next door to fetch my clothes. The password is six zeros." Chu Yisen said promptly.

"Ah?! Does the suite next door belong to you?" She thought that nobody lived here. She hadn't ever seen anyone go in and out. No wonder he flew to her balcony. Maybe he thought that he returned to his own home. He was wounded so that he lost consciousness and flew to the wrong place.

"Em. Let me introduce myself to you again. My name is Chu Yisen. I'm your neighbor. I really thank you for what you have done yesterday." Chu Yisen showed his white teeth. His originally handsome face and his hearty smile shocked Murong Xue all of a sudden.

It took a long time before Murong Xue realized that she was staring at his face straightly. She also couldn't help blushing. "Hello. My name is Murong Xue. I'm a sophomore now. I am a student. I will go to fetch your clothes for you to wear first. Eat breakfast first and then return to your home." After saying that, she walked to the door.

Chu Yisen looked at Murong Xue's pretty little face which was as red as rosy clouds. It was the first time that he had been happy for owning such an appearance. However, she was only a sophomore. Was she too young for him?!!

Murong Xue opened the door of Chu Yisen's suite. She found that the inside was so tidy. It seemed that nobody lived here. The modern black and white decoration style was as cold as the owner. People would decorate their houses according to their own style. Murong Xue didn't keep looking around. She walked to his bedroom directly, opened his closet, and selected a piece of casual clothing. Considering that he was wounded on his chest, it was better for him to wear loose clothes.

After returning to her house, Murong Xue gave the clothes to Chu Yisen directly. "Her you are. Put it on. Is it OK for you to wear on your own?"

"OK. I can handle it." After Chu Yisen said that, he wrapped the lower part of his body with the blanket. He took the clothes in Murong Xue's hands and walked to the shower room slowly.

Murong Xue saw that his steps were slow, but he shouldn't fall down. So she felt much assured.

Later, Murong Xue called the school. She lied that she was sick and she asked for leave. She still had to go to the stone gambling city today.

After a while, Chu Yisen got changed and went out. He ate breakfast with Murong Xue under very warm circumstances. At least, Chu Yisen thought so. He even thought that it was the most delicious breakfast that he had eaten.

A while later, the bell rang. "Hello, Eldest Miss. Are you free now?"

"Gu Ming, I need about half an hour more. We will meet at the new storefront of Baoyu Pavilion. On the way, I will go to have a look at the decoration of the storefront."

"OK." He hung up.

After finishing answering the phone, Murong Xue turned her head to Chu Yisen and asked, "Well. Mr. Chu, I'm going to go out. Do you have any plan?"

"Call me Yisen or Sen." Chu Yisen didn't like Murong Xue's polite tone. Immediately, he kept guessing who made the phone on earth just now in his brain.

"Ah?!!" Murong Xue was confused. Was it the key?!!!

"Yisen or Sen." He was so stubborn!

"Em. Yisen... There is a bottle of water and a bottle of medicine for traumatic injuries here. Take them and change them every day. The water is for clean. The medicine for traumatic injuries is for healing your wound. You need to pay more attention to your wound by yourself. I've got stuff to do. I will go first."

Hearing that his name was spoken from Murong Xue's mouth, he felt satisfied finally. He took these two bottles of medicine and returned to his own house next door.

Murong Xue changed her clothes. Then she drove her car to Antique Street.

She called Gu Ming and asked him about the exact address of the Baoyu Pavilion. Before she reached Baoyu Pavilion, she saw the figure of Gu Ming who was commanding. Gu Ming, who was about 30 years old, wasn't the type of a very handsome man. However, he had moved up the corporate ladder for long, so he had a charm of maturity and steadiness. And he made people feel safe and reliable.

"Eldest Miss, you are here." As soon as Murong Xue got off the car, Gu Ming, who had a pair of sharp eyes, saw her immediately. He went forward instantly.

Murong Xue smiled. "Gu Ming, call me Xue in the future. You are my friend. It is a little strange when you call me Eldest Miss."

Murong Xue looked at the Baoyu Pavilion whose decoration had been devised primarily in front of her. She nodded her head with satisfaction. The style of the decoration of the Baoyu Pavilion was mainly old-fashioned. Most of the devices were decorated with wood. Even the tea seats that served the guests were carved out of wood with the patterns of pear blossoms. They had the flavor of big families in ancient times.

Seeing Murong Xue's satisfied facial expression, Gu Ming took a deep breath in his heart. To make Murong Xue satisfied was the best reward to him.

"Let's go. Let us go to the street of raw materials. It is just ahead. Let's walk there."

"OK."

"Later, I will select raw materials directly and cut them after we go back. Do we have any master who can cut the stones?"

"Yes, we have. I have recruited two masters who can cut the stones. They have a comparatively good reputation. They are well-known in the field."

"Gu Ming, you needn't say anything else more when we reach the field of raw materials. You just need to trust me." As Murong Xue walked, she looked at Gu Ming and said.

Gu Ming looked at the young girl's firm look and nodded his head. He made his decision to follow her because he trusted her. There was no need for him to doubt this at all. "Right. What else do you need me to do?"

"Nothing. Just go. When we arrive, we select raw materials first."

The place which they reached first was still the comparatively big field of raw materials that they had reached last time. Although it was still early, many people had gathered inside.

Suddenly, Murong Xue saw two familiar figures in the crowd. Her previously smiling face became cold all of a sudden. Why did Fang Shihua and Xiao Keli come here?! Didn't they have classes today? They should stay in the school.

No wonder Xiao Keli hadn't appeared in front of her recently. It turned out that they had been together. Looking at them who were laughing and talking hand in hand, they had been together so early in her last life. She didn't notice it at all at that time. How unresponsive she was!

Murong Xue felt extremely cold all over her. Her sharp fingernails penetrated into her tender meat. Even if she was reborn, it still couldn't cover the things that had happened to her before. How could they do that!!!

When Gu Ming, who was walking aside, saw Murong Xue's frozen figure, he looked in the direction according to Murong Xue's sight. He saw a boy and a girl. Both of them were about 16 years old. The boy was handsome, warm, and gentle while the girl was tender and lovely. They looked like a little couple. They were very suitable for each other. "What's wrong? Xue, do you know them?"

Murong Xue lowered her head and took back the surging emotions in her eyes. "Yes. They are acquaintances. They are my classmates." But when she said the word "acquaintances", her tone became much heavier.

"Let's go and say hello to them first." Murong Xue took back the cold air in her and turned into an innocent girl.

"Keli, why are you here?" After saying that, she stopped for a little while. She looked at Fang Shihua and Xiao Keli's hands which they held together. Then she joked profoundly, "You two are dating!"

Fang Shihua and Xiao Keli seemed to be more surprised than her. There were unconvincing looks on their faces.

Just at the moment when Murong Xue said hello to them, Fang Shihua disengaged Xiao Keli's hands calmly. But Xiao Keli didn't become angry at all.

"Xue, what are you talking about? We are not dating. Why do you come here? Who is this man?" Xiao Keli whose face was a little red gave Murong Xue a stare as if she had been throwing a tantrum. Later, after Xiao Keli said that, she kept looking Gu Ming up and down. Then she seemed lost in contemplation. It seemed that she was searching for Gu Ming's identity in her brain.

Murong Xue said quickly, "This is Gu Ming. My mother asked me to follow him to learn something. But why do you come here?" Of course, she wouldn't expose her own intention so quickly.

"We also come here to learn something. I heard my family members talk about this place by accident so I come here. Xiao Keli is also interested, so we come here together." Fang Shihua said smilingly. But he was looking at Murong Xue straightly as if he had been explaining something to her.

Murong Xue smiled coldly. In her last life, she didn't know that he had started a jewelry business when he was still a student until she had followed him for a long period of time. One of his partners was Qin Jianshu, the eldest son of the Qin Family. She didn't know how he hooked up with Qin Jianshu. Now he said that he came here to learn something. She definitely wouldn't believe it. Fang Shihua was professional in stone gambling. He had very sharp eyes. Now he should come here to buy raw materials.

"Gu Ming asked me to buy some raw materials to play. We will go there to select some raw materials. You two have fun slowly." After saying that, Murong Xue gave Gu Ming the hint to walk to another pile of raw materials.

Fang Shihua who originally had the assignment to buy raw materials didn't plague her, either.

Xiao Keli wanted to get along with Fang Shihua alone. She was deeply attracted by Fang Shihua's revealed wisdom and his mysterious background. She was very smart. She liked strong men. After getting along with Fang Shihua these days, she found that Fang Shihua's background was not simple. What was more, Fang Shihua was so good-looking. Also, he was very intelligent. Therefore, she had had a crush on him very early.
