Chapter 967: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Go to Your Room (52)
“Uncle, don’t go. I beg you, don’t go…” 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?
Grandpa’s 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 girl’s 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,”Zuo Yue, do you know what you are doing?”
Zuo Yue did not understand the meaning behind his words and just nodded behind him.””I know, Uncle, I know. I can’t let you go! I know that he doesn’t regret what he did in the past. He only wants you to come back and inherit the Xu family’s assets. He wants you to acknowledge him as your father. It’s indeed very selfish. My mother and I know it very well, but I can’t let you go now. You haven’t recovered from your cold. You’re still injured. The weather is so cold, and your clothes are still wet. You can’t leave…”
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. He just stood there and listened to Zuo Yue’s 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,””Also, you were the one who brought me back this time. Even if you want to leave, you should bring me along, right…”
“But I’ve 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 can’t abandon me, so can you stay here with me for a night? Even if it’s just one night, treat your injuries first.”
“Uncle, I know that you’re a person who’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside. You must have a lot of stories in your heart. You’re just unwilling to tell them. I know that if Grandpa hurts you and you don’t like the Xu family, you can try to come back as little as possible in the future. However, you’re my uncle. I can’t let you leave with your injuries, and I can’t let you drive away in anger. It’s not safe.”
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 heart…He might be colder than her and needed warmth more than she did…
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.”Uncle, don’t push me away. Don’t leave, okay? I beg you…”
Xu Chengfeng frowned.” Zuo Yue, take your hand away first.””
“I don’t want to!”
“Be good.”
“I don’t want to! I won’t let go! I won’t let you go!” The little girl’s voice had changed from pleading at the beginning to a little more arrogant now.
The veins on Xu Chengfeng’s 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.”Aren’t you leaving?”
Seeing her red eyes and tears on her face, Xu Chengfeng sighed.””How can I leave when you’re crying like this?”
When Zuo Yue heard that, she instantly broke into a smile and was about to throw herself into his arms.””Uncle, you’re so nice…”
In the end, before she could enter, she was blocked by Xu Chengfeng’s raised hand. She was stunned for a moment and looked up at him. However, she saw Xu Chengfeng’s expression of being unable to bear it anymore.”Go back and wipe your tears and snot clean!”
“..”Zuo 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 didn’t 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.””Then I’ll go to your room and apply medicine on the burn on your back, okay?”
“There’s no need. It’s fine to have a superficial injury.”
“How can I do that? It’s fine if it’s just a small knife cut, but this is a burn. I have to take a look at such hot soup! I’m a medical student. Even if I haven’t finished my apprenticeship, I’m still considered half a doctor. You have to listen to me!”
Xu Chengfeng furrowed his brows and obviously did not intend to listen to her. Zuo Yue, on the other hand, dragged him away forcefully.””Let’s go, let’s go. I’ll help you apply the medicine. Don’t worry, I’ll be very gentle. I’m not giving you medicine or injections. Don’t be afraid of applying the medicine…”
Xu Chengfeng’s mouth twitched.” Don’t you have any sense of seniority?” Whose sister?”
“You’re my sister, okay?” 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.”Hurry up and go apply the medicine! If you don’t have a first aid kit in your room, go to my room. I’ll get the servant to bring the first aid kit over!”
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 didn’t want to go to an unmarried girl’s room.
Zuo Yue did not know Xu Chengfeng’s awkwardness, but she knew that he wanted her to go to his place. She said happily,””I’ll get a passing servant to bring a first aid kit over later. Uncle, do you have spare clothes here? You can’t wear this shirt anymore.”
