204 Thin-skinned

"Actually, I don't have anything to do. I just stopped by Ningyang to visit and meet Wu Shisun." The girl said half-truthfully.

Even so, Wu Chao was still quite surprised to hear this.

In his impression, Miss Xu is a person who has serious business in her head. This time she came to Ningyang just to hang out, which was indeed beyond his expectation.

but--

"I wonder what Miss Xu means by 'Shun Dao'? Is there another place to go?"

"Well, I've already been there." Xu Mingyi said: "At the end of the year, I went to Linyuan to worship my grandfather. I thought Linyuan was not too far from Ningyang, so I came here on a whim."

Wu Chao nodded clearly.

It turned out to be to worship my ancestor——

Combined with Miss Xu's previous dream, he couldn't help but suddenly thought that if this dream was really effective enough... After Miss Xu burned paper for her grandfather in Linyuan and came to Ningyang, she might soon be able to give him his

Are the portions also burned?

In these days, the shadow of being a dying person has never been far away from the young man.

Even occasionally when something cannot be completed within a short period of time, I can't help but ask myself in my heart - should I write a suicide note and confess it?

Sometimes he also thinks that if he really cannot avoid this disaster, then his biggest regret should be that he will not be able to see Xu Mingyi again.

But now she comes to Ningyang.

Wu Chao suppressed the strange feeling in his heart that "his dying wish has been fulfilled", and then thought - so, could Xu Mingyi stop by just because she couldn't worry about him?

And the girl's next words seemed to confirm his guess——

"Master Wu, have you felt any physical discomfort recently?"

Although he died after falling into an icy lake in his previous life, we cannot rule out the possibility that he was unable to concentrate due to physical discomfort, which in turn led to an accident.

Now she doesn't want to let go of any place that can be defended.

Wu Chao shook his head subconsciously.

He is young and strong, and has practiced martial arts all year round. What discomfort could he have?

But Xu Mingyi must not be allowed to think that he is not in good health.

"Isn't there even some slight discomfort?" Xu Mingyi asked again: "In other words, have you asked anyone to check your pulse recently?"

Many diseases may not be exposed or easily noticed by others, but under normal circumstances, the clues can be seen from the pulse condition.

Listening to her detailed questioning, Wu Chao suddenly thought that the girl in front of him knew some medical skills.

So, after thinking about it for a moment, he said: "If you think about it carefully, I seem to have been dreaming a lot lately and I can't sleep well at night."

"Having difficulty sleeping at night will inevitably make you less energetic during the day. You can't be careless at this critical moment." Xu Mingyi said, "How about I check your pulse for you?"

Wu Chao said "hmm" and reached out his hand as cooperatively as possible.

The girl's delicate fingertips that had just put down the teacup felt warm, and they were placed on Wu Chao's wrist, making him feel as if he had been burned, making his already upright body suddenly become even tighter.

Xu Mingyi raised her eyes and looked at him, feeling a little funny, and reminded: "Relax."

It was just a pulse check, why was he so nervous as if he was going to be stabbed with a needle?

Wu Chao nodded and tried his best to appear relaxed enough. However, the feeling that his thoughts were about to be revealed kept his heartbeat from calming down.

Xu Mingyi made a very careful diagnosis.

It took a little longer.

"It's nothing serious." She took her hand back and said, "You don't need to take medicine to treat it, but if you really can't sleep well, I have brought some soothing pills there. I'll bring some back to you later.

"

"Okay." Wu Chao did not refuse.

Xu Mingyi looked at him.

"What's wrong?" the guilty young man asked warily.

"You feel very hot? Your face is red."

Wu Chao's face froze and he looked away: "I'm a little bored and panic-"

Xu Mingyi nodded, took a sip of tea, lowered his eyes to hide his smile.

If she guessed correctly, this person was not hot at all, but just felt uncomfortable when she checked his pulse, right?

Hmm... She is now more and more convinced that this is not the kind of person you would go to a brothel with at all.

The reason why I don't let women get close to me is because I am too thin-skinned.

Seeing that something was still wrong with him, Xu Mingyi changed the subject in an understanding way: "By the way, I brought Tianmu here too."

Wu Chao subconsciously asked: "You don't want to raise Mingshi anymore?"

Are you still tired of it?

But then I thought about it, it’s very rare to be able to tolerate something like this before I’m bored until now.

But if they refuse to raise it, will their previous deal still count?

"Not really." Xu Mingyi didn't know how he could think of this, and said truthfully: "I was thinking about it, you should think about it."

Wu Chao was silent for a moment.

...That's really not the case.

They say feelings are mutual, but what this ugly bird has done these days has already chilled his heart as a father.

"But it came in a separate carriage and hasn't arrived yet." Xu Mingyi said.

Wu Chao looked at her with some confusion.

Let a vulture ride in a carriage alone... Is it because the vulture's wings are broken, or is Miss Xu gradually misunderstanding the habits and abilities of birds?

"Do you know where you are now?"

Xu Mingyi said with a smile: "Don't worry, it should be there the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Wu Chao didn't speak for a while.

He wasn't in a hurry.

But I want to say that if it is still far away, just send a message and simply let people carry it back to the capital.

But looking at her expression at this time, she seemed to be very happy to facilitate this gathering. In this case, he would not say such disappointing words.

The dishes were served quickly.

Xu Mingyi ate one more bowl of rice than usual.

Most of the food along the way was dealt with in a hurry, and it was indeed a while since I had eaten such an appetizing meal.

Seeing that she was eating happily and not restraining herself in front of him, Wu Chao unknowingly ate two bowls of rice and drank another bowl of soup. It really seemed as if she had not eaten at night.

When the two left the restaurant, it was already very late, the streets were no longer as lively as before, and many shops were closed.

"I'll take you back." Wu Chao said.

Xu Mingyi said subconsciously: "No need to bother, it's just in front, not far away anyway."

Wu Chao glanced at her.

"Didn't you say you wanted to get me some fragrant pills?"

Xu Mingyi suddenly said "Ah——" and said with a smile: "I have forgotten about this matter, so let's go."

After sending the person outside Yinxian Building, Wu Chao stopped.

At this moment, he certainly didn't follow what was going on in the guest room.

Xu Mingyi said: "Wait a moment, I will be down soon."

Wu Chao nodded.

Xu Mingyi returned to the guest room, rummaged through and found a palm-sized brocade box, then walked briskly downstairs and walked out through the front hall.

However, Wu Chao was nowhere to be seen outside the building.

Where are people?

Xu Mingyi looked around.
