21: Chapter 21: Tang’s Great Supplemental Soup 21: Chapter 21: Tang’s Great Supplemental Soup In front of a beautiful woman, Tangyu couldn’t afford to lose composure.

His face remained seemingly very calm, even as he swallowed hard in secret, his gaze becoming serious.

Zhao Xinxin was also quietly observing the changes in Tangyu’s expression, and after noticing that he didn’t show any change, her heart relaxed a bit.

After all, in this kind of situation, she always needed to be a little cautious.

“Xinxin, my treatment method is actually quite similar to acupuncture, except that instead of using silver needles, I use my fingers directly.

The effects that silver needles can reach are far less than those of fingers.

In a moment, I will unblock your meridians and regulate your blood flow, which might start off as uncomfortable and painful.

You’ll need to endure it for a while, Xinxin.

It should feel comfortable later,” Tangyu said.

“Okay.” Zhao Xinxin nodded, yet an ambiguous thought inexplicably flashed through her mind at his words.

Why did they sound so equivocal?

As the thought took over, a few shades of crimson couldn’t help but appear on Zhao Xinxin’s face, and she shyly bit her red lips, striving to rid her mind of the improper thought.

She couldn’t understand why she would entertain such wayward thoughts—it was simply too impure.

“I’m about to start,” Tangyu said again.

After speaking, his fingers took on a strange shape as he gently pressed on Zhao Xinxin’s abdomen, a stream of Pure Yang Qi immediately seeped from his fingertips into her abdomen, rushing into her meridians.

This sudden surge caused Zhao Xinxin to uncontrollably utter a soft moan, “Mm,” and she immediately clenched her teeth.

She could feel a warm current rampaging through her belly, like a wild burst of air assaulting her body, sending sharp pains throughout her.

“Mm, ahh—”

After enduring for quite some time, Zhao Xinxin finally couldn’t help but cry out in pain, her voice low but sultry enough to stir the soul.

Hearing this sound, which resembled one from a certain time, evoked a ripple of disturbance in Tangyu’s heart as well.

He had to make a concerted effort to prevent distraction.

“Go gentler, it hurts,” Zhao Xinxin pleaded with some difficulty.

Tangyu said, “Hang in there, Xinxin.

It starts off a bit painful, but it’ll soon be over and you’ll feel comfortable.” He also increased the flow of his Pure Yang Qi.

Time passed, and eventually, Zhao Xinxin calmed down.

Waves of warm currents coursed through her body, indescribably comfortable and delightful, as if she was experiencing a full-body massage by a top-tier master.

This unprecedented sense of pleasurable comfort made Zhao Xinxin completely relax both body and mind.

She gradually forgot herself, as if returning to the feeling of being in her mother’s embrace.

Gradually, her consciousness faded.

Only when Zhao Xinxin had fallen completely asleep did Tangyu stop and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Phew, it’s a good thing I discovered it in time.

If it had dragged on, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable.

It’s hard to imagine how Xinxin managed all these years, so young yet dragging her body into such a state.

Being a strong woman is indeed no easy feat,” breathed out Tangyu.

His gaze fell upon the serene face of the sleeping Zhao Xinxin, so supremely beautiful like a real-life Sleeping Beauty.

Her even breathing was like that of a newborn, so peaceful in her slumber.

Seeing her face stirred an inexplicable impulse in Tangyu’s heart.

“Master was right; the outside world, with its dazzling splendor, is indeed fascinating and prosperous, enchanting and addictive.

I realize that I’m beginning to like the life here.

Anyway, Master didn’t say I had to return immediately after finishing my tasks; I might as well stay in Donglin City for a while.

Otherwise, my life would be too dull and monotonous.” Tangyu thought to himself as he gently covered Xinxin with the blanket and left the room.

Xinxin slept soundly, sweetly, beautifully.

She couldn’t remember the last time she had such a good night’s sleep.

When she woke up and opened her eyes, Xinxin saw that the room was dim and, glancing outside the window, realized it was almost dark.

She was surprised to find she had slept the whole afternoon away.

Checking the time, she saw it was indeed almost six o’clock.

Xinxin looked at the blanket covering her, paused for a moment, and then recognized Tangyu’s doing, feeling an inexplicable warmth in her heart.

His caring attention, thorough and thoughtful, gave her an unexpected joy.

Throwing off the blanket, Xinxin checked her body and didn’t notice anything wrong.

Her opinion of Tangyu heightened considerably.

She straightened her clothes and got out of bed to feel her body brimming with vitality and vigor.

It was a significant change.

Xinxin concluded her health had improved considerably, and she owed it all to Tangyu.

Scenes of the day, from the moment she met Tangyu, flashed in her mind, and a smile formed on her lips.

“It seems I was overthinking; Tangyu really is a good person.

And, of course, someone personally arranged by Director Lin must be extraordinary.” Xinxin felt relieved, any previous misgivings had dissipated.

Composing her emotions, she stepped out of the room and immediately smelled a peculiar, enticing aroma that surpassed any dish she had ever tasted, stirring her appetite completely.

With a slight frown, Xinxin made her way to the kitchen and saw a figure busily at work: who else could it be but Tangyu?

“Tangyu, what are you doing?” Xinxin asked.

Only then did Tangyu turn around, surveyed Xinxin briefly, and smiled, “You’ve slept, Xinxin.

Your complexion looks much better.

How do you feel?”

Xinxin nodded, “I feel a lot better, your medical skills are indeed impressive, and I really can’t thank you enough.

Are you making soup?”

Tangyu nodded, “Yes, Xinxin.

Haven’t I told you that to completely get rid of your illness, physical therapy is necessary?

This is the special nourishing Tangyu’s soup I made for you, truly a great tonic.

As long as you drink a little of this soup every day and continue my treatment, within three weeks, your vitality will be fully restored, and you can rest easy.

However, Xinxin, you should not overwork yourself in the future.

Your body will still have issues if you keep going like this.

Everyone has their limits, and moreover, you are a woman.”

Xinxin paused, staring at Tangyu for a long moment before shaking her head with a smile, “There are some things you don’t understand.

I am still young, and if I don’t take advantage of my youth to work hard, I won’t be able to do anything when I’m older.

Besides, I’m used to this busy life; I find it fulfilling.

And it’s not like I’m doing physical labor, there shouldn’t be any ‘limits’.”

Tangyu shook his head and said, “Listen to me, Xinxin, the reason you’ve gotten sick is because you’ve been working too long without proper rest.

The younger you are, the more you need to understand how to take good care of yourself.”

“Alright, let’s stop talking about this,” Zhao Xinxin said.

Tangyu pursed his lips and replied, “Okay, Xinxin, the soup is ready.

Drink it while it’s hot.” As he spoke, Tangyu ladled a bowl of soup and brought it to Zhao Xinxin.

Zhao Xinxin was slightly stunned, having never been served by a man like this before.

She nodded at Tangyu and said, “Thank you.

You’ve really gone to a lot of trouble for me today, and I don’t know how to thank you properly.

You don’t need to take care of me like this, I can manage on my own.

Otherwise, I’ll feel uneasy.”

Being cared for with such attentiveness by a man she had met less than half a day ago, almost like a boyfriend, would be something any girl would need time to adjust to.

While Zhao Xinxin also felt uncomfortable, she was reluctant to refuse Tangyu’s kindness.

Tangyu smiled faintly and said, “Don’t mention it, Xinxin.

I’m quite used to doing this sort of thing.

I’ve often made herbal concoctions for people in the past.

Besides, you’re a patient now, and it’s only right for me to take care of you.

Plus, having the chance to take care of a great beauty like Xinxin is my honor.”

These slightly flirtatious words didn’t provoke the slightest anger in Zhao Xinxin at the moment.

Instead, she felt somewhat shy and averted her gaze, unsure why she felt this way.

“Xinxin, don’t just look at it, hurry up and drink the soup while it’s hot.

It won’t taste as good once it cools down.

This is my signature creation, Tang’s Nourishing Soup, exclusive to this establishment, and it took four hours to perfect,” Tangyu said.

Zhao Xinxin looked up at Tangyu, wondering how this man could have put so much effort into making nourishing soup for her?

“Uh, Xinxin, why are you staring at me?

Is there something on my face?” Tangyu asked.

Zhao Xinxin smiled sweetly, shook her head, and said, “It’s nothing, Tangyu, you’re truly a rare good man.

Not only do you know how to take care of people, but you also know how to cheer them up.

Hehe, any woman who marries you would be very fortunate indeed.”

“Really?” Being complimented by a beautiful woman for the first time made Tangyu scratch his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Seeing Tangyu’s somewhat shy expression, Zhao Xinxin laughed heartily again, “Of course.

If I were a few years younger, maybe I would have fallen for you.”

“Hehe, why would you say that, Xinxin?

You’re not that much older than me.

Besides, shouldn’t love be unrestricted by anything?

True love doesn’t need a reason, right?

Even if you are older, why couldn’t you like me?” Tangyu said with a smile.

Zhao Xinxin was taken aback; she had merely been speaking off the cuff and didn’t expect Tangyu to take it quite seriously.

But he wasn’t wrong—love really shouldn’t need a reason.

“Alright, I was just joking with you.

Let me drink my soup,” Zhao Xinxin said.

“Oh, it was just a joke?

I guess I was being too presumptuous,” Tangyu replied with a somewhat disappointed look.

Zhao Xinxin glanced at Tangyu and asked, “You didn’t take that seriously, did you?”

Tangyu looked at Zhao Xinxin and suddenly smiled, “Just kidding, Xinxin.”

Zhao Xinxin was both annoyed and amused, having been fooled by his naive act.

“Okay, Xinxin, one joke each, just to liven up the atmosphere, right?

Hurry and drink your soup before it really gets cold.

I’ll go bring the food out.

You won’t be angry that I took the liberty of cooking as well, will you?” Tangyu said.
