Chapter 1431 -1428: A Lifetime of Gratitude

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shan was already in tears.

“I am willing, Sister Zi Ruoxi, thank you! Thank you for taking me in. I will be grateful to you for my whole life.” Xiao Shan said, moved.

A lifetime of gratitude…

Uh!

How fortunate! This hit the soft spot in Zi Ruoxi’s heart, leaving her deeply touched…

“Xiao Shan!” Zi Ruoxi called her name. This was a pitiful girl, she was worthy of compassion.

“Hmm? Sister Zi Ruoxi!” Xiao Shan turned her face, puzzled. The tear stains on her face hadn’t dried, hanging on her cheeks, teary and vivid, tugging at one’s heartstrings.

Zi Ruoxi picked up the tissue beside her and gently wiped away the “pearls” full of tears.

“From now on, I am your sister, you can see me as your sister, don’t be afraid when you face difficulties, sister will protect you.” Zi Ruoxi said seriously, then lightly stroked her cheek with her fingers, her eyes deeply affectionate, softly, “In this world, because there aren’t many people who love themselves, we should love ourselves even more, cherish life. Xiao Shan, promise Sister Zi Ruoxi, no matter what happens, you have to be strong, learn to face it bravely. This way, you’ll live more easily and happily…”

Xiao Shan nodded sincerely. Looking into those beautiful, brilliant big eyes, one can completely imagine what a beauty she was before she was disfigured, how she captivated everyone…

“Sister Zi Ruoxi, you are really great, is this how you held on?” Xiao Shan asked admiringly, her eyes sparkling, no longer feeling any fear of the appearance under the hat. She seemed to see a heart like gold, even if the appearance was destroyed, it still couldn’t cover up its brilliance. The gentle light was radiating from her body, like the energy of the sun, making everyone who bathed in that sunlight feel warm. No longer afraid of loneliness and darkness.

Zi Ruoxi laughed. Her heart was filled with joy.

“You silly, what’s so great about me, I am very ordinary, it’s just… I understand how to control my emotions!” Zi Ruoxi smiled and explained.

“Control emotions?” Xiao Shan was again puzzled. However, at this moment, she was no longer confused, the person in front of her was the best example, why couldn’t she be a little braver?

Zi Ruoxi composed herself, watching her thoughtfully.

“So-called controlling emotions is not being arrogant in great happiness, nor abandoning the world in great sorrow. Always able to face everything with a calm heart, this way, no matter what happens, it can’t affect your mood, all difficulties will be easily solved…” Zi Ruoxi briefly summarized, her gaze very calm, her lips lightly smiling, “Xiao Shan, I believe you can do it too.”

“Yes.” Xiao Shan answered firmly, then looked at her with some curiosity, “Sister Zi Ruoxi, but what you said is so profound! To me, it sounds a bit like Buddhist scriptures.” Then, Xiao Shan gave a sly smile, “Sister Zi Ruoxi, have you become detached from earthly distractions?”

Detached from earthly distractions?

Uh……

This question caught her off guard. She had never thought about this issue… However, as of now, there really seems no need to get involved in emotions again. Perhaps in the future… it won’t happen again!

“Hehe, maybe!” Zi Ruoxi blurted out, and after speaking, she was stunned herself!

As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Shan was somewhat surprised. But before she had a chance to speak.

“Knock knock… knock knock…” A knocking sound came from the door.

“I’ll get the door.” Xiao Shan stood up.

Zi Ruoxi smiled. Nodded in agreement.

Xiao Shan walked to the door, grasped the door handle, and twisted it open towards her. When she saw the person standing at the door, her eyes lit up instantly.

“Brother Qiao Muyun, it’s you!” Xiao Shan said excitedly. Seeing Qiao Muyun, two blushes suddenly appeared on her small face.

Qiao Muyun smiled slightly, but didn’t speak. As Xiao Shan stepped aside from the door, he was about to walk into the room, but hadn’t taken two steps when the person behind protested.

“What about me? It’s really unfair, how can you only call Brother Qiao Muyun, huh? Haha!” Li Yaxuan said mischievously, glancing sideways at the little girl.

Xiao Shan blushed at his words.

“Hello, Brother Ya Xuan.” Xiao Shan said shyly. Lowering her head slightly, not daring to look into his eyes.

“Uh, am I a tiger? Hehe, although I’m a doctor, and occasionally make a cut on someone’s face, it’s not enough to be so terrifying, is it? You see me and get this scared! Gosh!” Li Yaxuan laughed and pouted. Then deliberately made a quick motion, waving his hand across her face.

“No, Brother Ya Xuan!” Xiao Shan exclaimed in fright, trembling like a flower, instinctively covering her face with her arms. Her delicate face immediately changed color, and the two blushes had long disappeared.

At this moment, Zi Ruoxi walked over and pulled Xiao Shan to her side.

“Brother Ya Xuan, how can you bully the little sister like this! You’re being really ungentlemanly!” Zi Ruoxi teased with a smile, then turned to Xiao Shan with warmth in her voice, “Xiao Shan, don’t pay him any mind. Brother Ya Xuan is just joking with you! If he really meant to cut your face, he would definitely be too reluctant.”

The last line, of course, was just teasing. But when someone heard it, it had a deeper meaning.

“I don’t care, who wants him to be reluctant, reluctant to…” Xiao Shan’s voice got smaller and smaller. Her gaze, however, glanced at the other person who had already entered the room. Who else, of course, Qiao Muyun.

The affectionate gaze from Xiao Shan was caught by both Li Yaxuan and Zi Ruoxi. Yet their thoughts were not entirely the same.

“Oh! I get it, turns out it was referring to something else!” Li Yaxuan said slyly, suddenly glancing at Qiao Muyun, then naturally glancing over at Zi Ruoxi, noticing she showed no change, his tone suddenly heightened, alluding, “Only a pity, might it be that drawing water with a bamboo basket was all in vain?”

This ambiguous line immediately embarrassed the three people’s faces. Naturally, Xiao Shan’s face became a shade of deep red again, clearly she didn’t know the deep meaning behind Li Yaxuan’s words. She just couldn’t help sneaking glances at Qiao Muyun.

“Brother Ya Xuan, why do you like using those kind of flowery words too? Didn’t expect, in one day, you’ve learned Chinese so well! But what you’re saying, it always sounds so awkward to people! Haha!” Zi Ruoxi retorted vaguely, tackling him head-on. When her gaze met his Jian Shui pupils, it lightly winked, seemingly smiling. Then quickly pulled Xiao Xue inside the room.

Li Yaxuan gave a graceful smile, then followed them inside.

“Zi Ruoxi, we’re planning to go to Country H the day after tomorrow. That means three days from now, you’ll be able to have the surgery.” Qiao Muyun said, looking at Zi Ruoxi, his dark green eyes clear.

“That fast.” Zi Ruoxi couldn’t help but exclaim, her eyes flickering with an uncertain glow. Feeling a bit nervous inside.

Li Yaxuan laughed as he walked over.
