Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Heart Fluttering

"Making a scene and clinging to his legs?"

When Gu Beihuai heard that name, he clenched his teeth in frustration.

Tang Chuxia shrank back, hastening to explain, "I’m serious! It’s for Brother Haipeng!"

Gu Beihuai took a deep breath, squeezing Tang Chuxia’s cheek and reminding her through gritted teeth, "You’d better explain clearly, or you won’t be able to save your face."

Threatening someone?

That indeed was in Gu Beihuai’s character.

Tang Chuxia chuckled and pulled his hand away.

"Brother Haipeng’s leg must have suffered serious damage, the doctors are out of options, right?"

Otherwise, Gu Beihuai and the others wouldn’t have taken such a long leave. She wasn’t blind; given Gu Beihuai’s capabilities and those of Wu Haipeng and Qin Zhan, none of them would be content just sitting at home.

But why did everything seem different upon their return, even though they tried to handle affairs as usual? That frown they couldn’t hide wasn’t for show.

Tang Chuxia’s suspicions weren’t based on mere conjecture, but rather on something Tang Jianjun had mentioned.

He mentioned that Wu Haipeng’s proposal at Dangdang’s house was somewhat hasty. If it hadn’t been for Hu Kai creating an ugly scene, Wu Haipeng wouldn’t have suggested engagement on such short notice, and even then, he said the marriage would only happen two years later because his unit had requested it.

But don’t forget about the Tang family members in the military—what kind of unit restricts the age for marriage?

Obviously, everyone was cooperating fully, yet Wu Haipeng came up with such a requirement. Tang Jianjun gossiped with Tang Chuxia, "There must be something going on with Wu Haipeng and the others!"

As for what it was, Tang Jianjun didn’t want to speculate wildly, but Tang Chuxia knew about the plot from the book. Although it didn’t much discuss Gu Beihuai and the others, it did mention what he had done for his brothers.

That’s why Tang Chuxia was certain there was something seriously wrong with Wu Haipeng’s leg, which led to all her previous conjectures.

Gu Beihuai looked at her, urging her to speak quickly, as he still needed to go to the hospital.

Tang Chuxia passed the basket she was holding to Gu Beihuai, "Hold this for me, I’ll explain!"

She pulled Gu Beihuai’s arm and headed home, "First, take me back home, I’ll put down the basket, then I’ll take you to seek help!"

This time, Gu Beihuai lost his temper, knowing Tang Chuxia was probably not bluffing.

The two rushed back to the Tang residence, set down the basket, and Madam Tang saw them together, wondering if the sun had risen from the west—otherwise, why would they be together?

Before asking, Tang Chuxia called out, "Mom, I’m going to see Elder Huang, don’t wait up for me for dinner!"

Madam Tang responded, advising her, "Don’t bully Huai!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

Gu Beihuai also looked at Tang Chuxia.

Tang Chuxia gritted her teeth, "I won’t bully him; nowadays, it’s him bullying me!"

Madam Tang waved her hand, "Then there’s nothing to worry about, off you go!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

Definitely her real mother!

Verified!

Gu Beihuai almost laughed out loud.

Tang Chuxia glared at him and pulled him outside, "Later, you better do as I say, make a scene, cling to his legs, whatever it takes, as long as Elder Huang agrees!"

Gu Beihuai gave her a look as if she were an idiot.

"Seek help from Elder Huang?"

Tang Chuxia shook her head, "Elder Huang is just the first step, the main goal is Lin Qingchen!"

Gu Beihuai stopped, "What did you say?"

Tang Chuxia chuckled, "Can’t you do this much for your brother?"

Beihuai grew even more suspicious that Tang Chuxia was messing with him. Tang Chuxia, helpless, shook his hand.

"Brother Huai, would I ever trick you?"

Beihuai was startled by her sudden falsetto, and goosebumps sprang up all over his skin.

He quickly shook off Tang Chuxia’s hand and took two disdainful steps back.

"Speak properly!"

Tang Chuxia burst into laughter, sounding like a crowing hen, and it took her a long time to stop laughing, but even so, she didn’t abandon the idea of guiding Beihuai toward Elder Huang’s courtyard.

"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Elder Huang knows a traditional method that can help Wu Haipeng with his injured leg, and Lin Qingchen’s master excels in making life-saving medicine. From what I know, Lin Qingchen always carries a dose with him, but because it’s so precious, he rarely hands it out."

In fact, all this was Tang Chuxia’s way to deceive Beihuai.

The medicine Lin Qingchen had was not only precious but also life-saving. Tang Chuxia had previously traded a dose to save Qin Zhan’s mother.

She could only adopt a try-and-see attitude, letting Beihuai approach Lin Qingchen.

The reason she didn’t go herself wasn’t that Tang Chuxia was selfish, but because she knew too well that Lin Qingchen would surely give it to her, yet she felt guilty inside.

Beihuai and Lin Qingchen didn’t get along well, and if Beihuai approached him, Lin Qingchen would likely set conditions, allowing her to help face them together.

At least she would feel more comfortable, unable to owe Lin Qingchen any more favors, fearing she wouldn’t be able to repay.

Beihuai, knowing Tang Chuxia’s intentions after hearing about Lin Qingchen, didn’t say anything and decided to go to Elder Huang first.

Elder Huang was treating patients who had come to seek his help at home. Learning their purpose, he had Tang Chuxia continue massaging the patients while he went with Beihuai to the hospital.

Tang Chuxia was speechless.

She had only learned the basics and was nowhere near Elder Huang’s techniques.

But the patients, thinking she was Elder Huang’s disciple, were especially polite, telling her not to worry and to just do as she wished.

Tang Chuxia: ...

She gave a dry laugh. Fortunately, Elder Huang had already diagnosed the patient, knowing the issue was merely due to fatigue. Normally acupuncture would be better, but since Elder Huang had to go to the hospital, he let Tang Chuxia massage the patient to relax the tense back.

This she knew how to do.

Tang Chuxia had the patient sit up straight.

She had also learned bone setting.

Although she had hardly practiced it since transposing into the book, some things were engraved in her soul and she quickly regained the feel.

The patient, after Tang Chuxia’s fierce treatment, was terrified at first but then felt much lighter and continuously praised her, saying she was good enough to start her own practice.

Tang Chuxia felt guilty; she was not really Elder Huang’s disciple.

Outside, many patients hearing the praise—although they came for other issues—requested a massage from Tang Chuxia.

Tang Chuxia was really frightened of prescribing medicines, but massages were doable, especially since she had Divine Power, perfecting her control over the strength.

When Elder Huang and Beihuai returned, they saw a yard full of patients waiting in line, with Tang Chuxia shouting, "No rush, come one by one, haha!"

Some kind patients even helped maintain order.

Beihuai and Elder Huang stood at the entrance for a while and also asked the outgoing patients about their feelings, which all praised Tang Chuxia’s work.

"Can she make it?"

Beihuai was really afraid that Tang Chuxia might mess up the patients, but Elder Huang, stroking his not-so-long beard, responded.

"You should be able to tell!"

Elder Huang added, with a sense of contemplation, "Actually, letting this girl adjust Haipeng’s bones wouldn’t be a problem at all!"

Beihuai: ...

In his heart, Tang Chuxia was an odd presence, both a weakling and paradoxically strong to the extreme, and all his perceptions never related her to healing others.

But seeing such a different side of her now, his heart uncontrollably started to feel warm.
