Urban Super Medical Sage
Chapter 164 - 164 157 You're So Kind

164: Chapter 157: You’re So Kind 164: Chapter 157: You’re So Kind Su Chen hesitated for a moment but agreed in the end.

Nalan Qingcheng was already shivering and needed comforting.

Without consolation, if another wave of assassins were to strike, she might break down.

Although Nalan Qingcheng held a high status as the Little Princess of the Nalan Family, she had not a trace of martial arts cultivation Qi about her, which meant she had never been involved in martial arts cultivation.

Also, she liked singing; evidently, she had always lived the lifestyle of an ordinary person.

Being suddenly exposed to martial-cultivator-level assassins, as well as corpses and death, it was understandable that she was terrified.

Su Chen climbed onto the bed and gently held her in his arms at the foot of the bed.

Immediately, Nalan Qingcheng seemed to find a sense of safety, trembling as she clung tightly to Su Chen.

“It’s okay, no one can hurt you,” Su Chen said with a touch of pity as he gently patted her back, comforting her in a soft voice, with no ill intentions.

Even though Nalan Qingcheng was very beautiful, and now she was clinging close to him, surrounded by her fragrance and softness, he could clearly see she was not in a good state of mind.

If he harbored any dirty thoughts or took advantage of someone in their hour of need, would he even qualify as a human?

Under Su Chen’s comfort, Nalan Qingcheng’s trembling gradually subsided.

However, she did not leave his embrace; instead, she became more clingy, as if finding his arms to be a safe haven.

Time ticked by second by second.

Su Chen did not leave.

He held her like that, and gradually, her breathing became steady, her body no longer stiff with tension.

Before long, she was fast asleep.

“This girl really trusts me,” Su Chen said to himself with a wry smile and a sense of helplessness, shaking his head.

How could he know that earlier, when the assassins attacked and the lights suddenly went out in despair, it was he who, like a ray of light in the darkness, gave her hope and saved her, thus she subconsciously came to depend and trust him.

The next second, Su Chen wanted to lay Nalan Qingcheng down so she could sleep comfortably, but it was a pity he couldn’t do it.

She clung to him like an octopus, maintaining her posture even in sleep.

“Forget it, it’s not long until dawn, let her sleep well,” Su Chen thought to himself and decided not to wake Nalan Qingcheng, letting her lean on him.

The next day.

Dawn was just breaking.

Nalan Qingcheng, still in a daze, opened her eyes, and then…

She remembered something.

“So…

sorry!” Nalan Qingcheng hurriedly clambered off Su Chen, her nightgown giving her a lazy and flustered shyness.

Her long lashes flickered, her beauty otherworldly.

Her fair little feet moved anxiously on the bed as she walked off the bed.

Standing by the bedside, Nalan Qingcheng was so shy she hardly knew what else to say.

She recalled the night before.

Not only had she hugged and clung to Su Chen time and again, but even her bath towel had fallen in front of him, leaving her whole body exposed, and moreover, they had shared the same bed, with her sleeping soundly in his arms.

The more she thought about it, the more panicked Nalan Qingcheng became.

Embarrassment, guilt, nervousness, urgency…

various emotions swirled in her mind, and her exquisite face was already blushing like a sunset on the horizon.

Not knowing how to explain, Nalan Qingcheng instinctively lowered her head, like a girl who had done something wrong, her slender hands fidgeting with the corner of her clothes.

“It’s okay, go freshen up and get dressed,” Su Chen said, slightly amused.

If others knew that the Nalan Family’s Little Princess, China’s hottest superstar, could be so adorable and shy, they would surely be dumbfounded, right?

“I… I… Okay!” Nalan Qingcheng’s mind was still dazed.

She nodded unconsciously and rushed into the bathroom like she was escaping.

As she freshened up, she couldn’t help but repeatedly go over last night’s events in her mind.

An hour later.

Nalan Qingcheng had finished washing up, putting on makeup, and changing her clothes at an impressively quick pace that exceeded Su Chen’s expectations.

It had to be said that Nalan Qingcheng was truly so beautiful that she barely needed to fuss over her appearance, which resulted in her being ready quickly with astonishingly good results.

With light makeup, hair casually tied up high, a purple dress, sheer nude bodystockings, and Chanel kitten heels, Nalan Qingcheng looked every bit the fairy descending to earth, scoring a perfect hundred as a beauty capable of bringing nations to their knees.

“Only because I have lived with Jun Luo for decades in my past life has my state of mind been tempered.

Otherwise, three days in close contact for protecting Qingcheng might make it impossible to control myself…” Su Chen shook his head, thinking to himself.

“Su Chen, shall we go?” Nalan Qingcheng looked up at Su Chen after getting ready, with a shy and evasive look in her beautiful eyes.

“The charity banquet is in the evening.

Do you have any plans for the day, or is there anywhere you want to go?”

“I want to visit the snack street!” Nalan Qingcheng’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s, and Su Chen noticed the tiny playful action of her sticking out her tongue.

“I…

I’ve never been to the snack street before!” Nalan Qingcheng explained.

Su Chen nodded.

A Little Princess like Nalan Qingcheng would naturally lead a life of luxury, whether due to her status as a popular star or her own background, so it was understandable that she wouldn’t have the opportunity to experience something like snack street.

It made sense that someone used to delicacies would want to try simpler fare.

Seeing that Su Chen didn’t immediately agree, Nalan Qingcheng hurriedly added, “If it’s not…

not…

not safe, then we won’t go.

I can just stay in the room all the time!”

“It’s fine, let’s go!

During the day, those assassins from the Martial Arts World won’t make a move, especially not in a bustling place like the snack street.

Besides, aren’t I here?” Su Chen smiled.

“Thank you, Su Chen, you’re so nice!” Nalan Qingcheng was happy and blurted out her thanks inadvertently, but as soon as she said it, she regretted it, aware that her words carried an ambiguous undertone that could easily lead to misunderstandings.

However, when she saw Su Chen showing no sign of emotional reaction, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he didn’t pick up on the subtle nuance in her words.

Still, there was an inexplicable trace of slight disappointment in her heart.

“Alright, let’s go!” Su Chen opened the door, and Nalan Ting and Nalan Yan were still standing guard outside.

“Young Master Su.” They both greeted respectfully, their gratitude and admiration for Su Chen coming from the heart.

“Did we find anything on those assassins from last night?”

“All three were assassins from the Blood Fiend Pavilion!” Nalan Ting spoke, “The Blood Fiend Pavilion is a notorious assassin organization on Taixuan Mountain.”

“It must be difficult to hire the Blood Fiend Pavilion, right?”

“Yes, the assassins from the Blood Fiend Pavilion are very expensive!!!” Nalan Ting nodded vigorously, “Usually, one needs to offer Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, weapons, martial skills, or cultivation techniques as payment, and ordinary families from the Martial Arts World can’t afford it!”

Su Chen nodded and didn’t continue the topic further: “Qingcheng wants to check out the snack street, let’s go together!”

Nalan Yan and Nalan Ting were taken aback and hesitated, clearly believing that after last night’s serious assassination attempt, Nalan Qingcheng should be even more careful and not go out casually.

“Young Master Su, perhaps it’s best if Qingcheng stays in her room.

It would be safer!” Wang Yiqing also came over and said, looking at Nalan Qingcheng: “Qingcheng, safety is important, don’t be willful.”

“It’s fine, if Qingcheng wants to visit the snack street, then let’s go!

Nothing will happen with me there,” Su Chen said with a smile.

Nalan Qingcheng couldn’t help but move closer to Su Chen, almost walking side by side.

Although her face remained mostly expressionless, she couldn’t help but feel a sweetness burgeoning within her.
