Chapter 3221 — A Deeply Familiar Person
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Wei Zhao, do you mean to heal my master?" Yu Xiaoke asked outright, leaving him no room to refuse.
"Mm, let me have a look first," Wei Zhao said with a nod.
"Then... if you cure the old director, I... I'll be grateful to you..." Yu Xiaoke wanted to say she would give in to him, but the words would not come out. What if that was not what he meant? Though she felt certain it must be, she still spoke ambiguously.
"Oh." Wei Zhao truly gave it little thought; his attention was fixed wholly on the old director.
Seeing his lukewarm response, Yu Xiaoke felt suddenly deflated. Was it that once she had agreed to give in to him, he no longer prized her as a rare treasure? She sank into gloom again.
Xu Shilan, meanwhile, was watching the old director with brows tightly knit. She felt the old director resembled someone from her memory, yet she could not recall where she had seen her. Still, that sense of deep familiarity made her desperately want to get to the bottom of it—though for the moment she could find no thread to follow.
The more it nagged at her, the more curious Xu Shilan became. After all, when a person sees a face that seems familiar, they will rack their brains over where that person came from; and even if they cannot recall, they will keep on thinking.
"My head hurts..." Xu Shilan's head suddenly began to ache—for no reason at all—and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Thank goodness she wore no makeup; otherwise it would have been ruined.
Wei Zhao was just about to examine the old director's injuries when he heard Xu Shilan's moan and gave a start. He thought to himself that she had been perfectly well during all those days at home—why should her head ache the moment they went out?
Still, he did not dare be careless. Xu Shilan was, after all, a guest he had invited to perform at the orphanage's charity show. He turned at once to the old director and said apologetically, "Old Director, let me see to her first—please wait a moment..."
"Of course, go and look at her quickly. What's wrong with her?" The old director forgot her own troubles entirely. She knew her own body: this was the aftereffect of an injury from her youth, and it would not kill her anytime soon. But Xu Shilan was in agony with her headache, and it tore at the old director's heart.
Wei Zhao caught the anxiety in the old director's eyes and found it rather strange. He could not understand why she should suddenly be so concerned for Xu Shilan—though, he supposed, Xu Shilan was a guest of the orphanage, and if her head ached while she was here, the old director would naturally be worried.
Cheng Yiyi had already fished out a painkiller, ready to give it to Xu Shilan, but Wei Zhao waved her off. He reached out and massaged Xu Shilan's forehead and chest a couple of times, and her headache eased. "This medicine has no side effects, but taken over a long time it will still breed resistance. So it's best avoided when you can manage without it."
Seeing Wei Zhao cure Xu Shilan with just a few touches, Cheng Yiyi was taken aback—while Yu Xiaoke grew all the more confident that he could heal the old director's injuries! (Follow the author Yunhai Shuku's public WeChat account yuren22!) RS
