Chapter 967: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Go to Your Room (52)
âUncle, donât go. I beg you, donât goâŠâ Zuo Yue hugged him tightly behind him, as if she was afraid that he would disappear once she let go.
Xu Chengfeng stood where he was without moving. Zuo Yue could feel that there was still some soup left on his back where he had been scalded. At this moment, it had been blown very cold by the wind, but through the wet white shirt, she could see that his back was already red.
How could such boiling hot soup not burn him?
Grandpaâs throwing was really accurate. He only threw a few things, but they all hit Xu Chengfeng.
The cold wind blew, and Zuo Yue stood behind him trembling. He felt the girlâs trembling behind him, and all the softness of her body was tightly pressed against him. Xu Chengfeng frowned, and he did not know whether those angry emotions were gradually dissipated by the soft trembling behind him or by the cold wind.
After a moment of silence, he said in a low and hoarse voice,âZuo Yue, do you know what you are doing?â
Zuo Yue did not understand the meaning behind his words and just nodded behind him.ââI know, Uncle, I know. I canât let you go! I know that he doesnât regret what he did in the past. He only wants you to come back and inherit the Xu familyâs assets. He wants you to acknowledge him as your father. Itâs indeed very selfish. My mother and I know it very well, but I canât let you go now. You havenât recovered from your cold. Youâre still injured. The weather is so cold, and your clothes are still wet. You canât leaveâŠâ
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. He just stood there and listened to Zuo Yueâs nasal cry.
Seeing that he was not as angry and resistant as before, Zuo Yue still hugged him tightly and pressed her face against his back. Her small face rubbed back and forth on his back as if she was comforting him, but also acting coquettishly,ââAlso, you were the one who brought me back this time. Even if you want to leave, you should bring me along, rightâŠâ
âBut Iâve been in Boston for a few months, and I just came back to see my mother. Do you really have the heart to let me go back with you without even staying at the Xu family for a night? But you canât abandon me, so can you stay here with me for a night? Even if itâs just one night, treat your injuries first.â
âUncle, I know that youâre a person whoâs cold on the outside but warm on the inside. You must have a lot of stories in your heart. Youâre just unwilling to tell them. I know that if Grandpa hurts you and you donât like the Xu family, you can try to come back as little as possible in the future. However, youâre my uncle. I canât let you leave with your injuries, and I canât let you drive away in anger. Itâs not safe.â
The more Zuo Yue spoke, the tighter she hugged him. The weather was very cold and she was wearing very thin clothes. She could still feel a little warm hugging him like this, but it only had a little effect. After all, he was very cold at the moment.
Perhaps he was cold from the bottom of his heartâŠHe might be colder than her and needed warmth more than she didâŠ
Zuo Yue hugged her tighter and tighter. Xu Chengfeng did not say anything, but he raised his hand and placed it on her hand, gently pulling it away.
Thinking that he was going to push her away and leave, Zuo Yue hugged him tightly again the moment he separated her hands. She hugged him tightly like an octopus without any rules. She did not even know that her hands had touched his chest when she raised her hands. She just stuck close to his back.âUncle, donât push me away. Donât leave, okay? I beg youâŠâ
Xu Chengfeng frowned.â Zuo Yue, take your hand away first.ââ
âI donât want to!â
âBe good.â
âI donât want to! I wonât let go! I wonât let you go!â The little girlâs voice had changed from pleading at the beginning to a little more arrogant now.
The veins on Xu Chengfengâs forehead throbbed. He lowered his head and looked at the spot where she was hugging him tightly. He sighed softly and firmly pulled her hand away with his dark eyes.
Zuo Yue staggered backward for a moment and quickly steadied herself. Just as she was about to pounce on him again, Xu Chengfeng had already turned around to face her.
She almost fell into his arms. She quickly stabilized her body and swayed in front of him before taking a step back. She looked at him blankly.âArenât you leaving?â
Seeing her red eyes and tears on her face, Xu Chengfeng sighed.ââHow can I leave when youâre crying like this?â
When Zuo Yue heard that, she instantly broke into a smile and was about to throw herself into his arms.ââUncle, youâre so niceâŠâ
In the end, before she could enter, she was blocked by Xu Chengfengâs raised hand. She was stunned for a moment and looked up at him. However, she saw Xu Chengfengâs expression of being unable to bear it anymore.âGo back and wipe your tears and snot clean!â
â..âZuo Yue was embarrassed.
It turned out that he disliked her tears and snot.
He was actually talking about cleanliness at a time like this.
There was still so much soup on him, but he didnât take off his clothes in disgust. Now, he was here to despise her.
Zuo Yue pouted, but since he was no longer determined to leave and had already stayed, she still happily raised her hand and gently tugged at his sleeve.ââThen Iâll go to your room and apply medicine on the burn on your back, okay?â
âThereâs no need. Itâs fine to have a superficial injury.â
âHow can I do that? Itâs fine if itâs just a small knife cut, but this is a burn. I have to take a look at such hot soup! Iâm a medical student. Even if I havenât finished my apprenticeship, Iâm still considered half a doctor. You have to listen to me!â
Xu Chengfeng furrowed his brows and obviously did not intend to listen to her. Zuo Yue, on the other hand, dragged him away forcefully.ââLetâs go, letâs go. Iâll help you apply the medicine. Donât worry, Iâll be very gentle. Iâm not giving you medicine or injections. Donât be afraid of applying the medicineâŠâ
Xu Chengfengâs mouth twitched.â Donât you have any sense of seniority?â Whose sister?â
âYouâre my sister, okay?â Zuo Yue saw that he was still arguing with her, but it seemed that his anger had already subsided. She pushed him with a sly expression.âHurry up and go apply the medicine! If you donât have a first aid kit in your room, go to my room. Iâll get the servant to bring the first aid kit over!â
Xu Chengfeng was finally left helpless by her pestering. Just as Zuo Yue was about to pull her to her room, he suddenly raised his hand and hooked her back. He put his hand on her shoulder and let go when Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. He raised his chin and gestured for her to go to him.
He really didnât want to go to an unmarried girlâs room.
Zuo Yue did not know Xu Chengfengâs awkwardness, but she knew that he wanted her to go to his place. She said happily,ââIâll get a passing servant to bring a first aid kit over later. Uncle, do you have spare clothes here? You canât wear this shirt anymore.â
