Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers - Chapter 106
Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Yueyue
“`
Qi Yue called out twice in succession, but Zhao Xiyan did not look back, causing her heart to sour wave after wave.
The great War God of the past had ultimately been defeated by a broken leg.
But soon she cheered up again.
Thinking of the White Rhino Horn in her space, a smile couldn’t help but bloom on her lips.
She quickly stepped forward, covered his eyes from behind with her hands, and said with a joyful voice, “Zhao Xiyan, guess who I am?”
A warm softness covered his eyes, and her voice once again filled his mind, Zhao Xiyan immediately felt surge after surge of happiness welling up to the tip of his heart.
“… Yueyue?”
He thought he must have been quite ill, as he was hallucinating, and even his sense of touch seemed to be off.
But the sensation felt so real…
He couldn’t resist reaching out to grasp the delicate, jade-like hand, immediately feeling a lightning-like shiver strike him.
He opened his eyes in astonishment and saw a face that had appeared countless times in his dreams.
“Yueyue?”
“It’s me!” Qi Yue sat down across from him with a beaming smile, frank and graceful, composed with elegance.
It really was her.
For some reason, he struggled to get up, but Qi Yue was quicker and pressed him back down.
“Sit, no need to get up now. We haven’t seen each other for months, and you’ve become polite with me.”
Her smile remained carefree, as if her heart held no worries, as if nothing could weigh her down.
“Yueyue, how… how could you suddenly come back?”
Zhao Xiyan felt defeated in her candid smile and tried hard to stabilize his heart that was on the verge of scattering.
Qi Yue smiled at him, “I happened upon a good opportunity on my travels and found the medicinal ingredient to cure your leg, so I came back.”
As she spoke, she extended her hand toward him.
“Come, let me check your condition so we can start the treatment tonight if possible.”
He hastily extended his arm to her.
She took hold of him, and then two fingers as smooth and tender as jade lightly slipped into his sleeve and accurately grasped his pulse.
He immediately felt the patch of skin heat up as if on fire and his heart spasmed, thumping wildly.
After a long pause, she finally released his arm and gave a slight nod with an indifferent expression.
“It’s manageable, but your heart seems to have accelerated again. Better wait until tomorrow to begin treatment.”
Zhao Xiyan exhaled softly.
“Alright.”
He looked up at her, only to see her brows lightly furrowed, her expression earnest and puzzled.
“This rapid heartbeat of yours is rather peculiar, has it occurred after I left?”
Her serious demeanor, solely focused on the illness, was truly endearing.
Zhao Xiyan stared into her misty eyes and couldn’t help but curve his lips.
“Sometimes, but I can’t quite remember.”
“When does it usually happen?”
“Sometimes I wake from a dream, and sometimes it just happens.”
He kept smiling, a boundless joy surging within him.
“That can indeed be troublesome.” Her beautiful brows furrowed deeper, yet she soon comforted him, “I’ll take a closer look while treating you tomorrow. Maybe your constitution is unique, but as long as it doesn’t affect normal life, it’s not a problem.”
Zhao Xiyan listened silently, his heart tumultuously stirring.
Yueyue, such a divine doctor, yet couldn’t discern that his heart beat for her.
Or perhaps she did see it, but never once contemplated that possibility.
“`
“`
“…Okay.”
He looked at her for a long time, revealing a flawlessly perfect smile.
Qi Yue’s heart suddenly tugged, a trace of something unusual flashing by.
But she quickly found the source of that feeling.
Sure enough, knowing that he could stand up now, he was happy. Such a smile, even during the most harmonious times in their past relationship, she had never seen!
Both harbored their own thoughts, yet concealed them extremely well.
Soon, Shen Yu came over to say it was time for dinner, and Qi Yue naturally stood up and began to push him towards the front yard.
The spring in Northern Ridge had already warmed up, and dining and chatting under a big tree in the evening was a very comfortable pleasure, which naturally reminded Qi Yue of those leisurely times in the rural clinic.
Lying on the rocking chair in the pavilion, holding a book, flipping through it indifferently.
It was just as comfortable and leisurely as this moment.
Qi Yue glanced at the Zhao family members sitting together and couldn’t help but have the thought of staying a few more days.
“Yueyue, don’t leave this time when you come back,” Shen Yu picked some food for her, her favorite braised rabbit.
She was about to speak when Zhao Yongzhe beside her glared at Shen Yu.
“What kind of question is that? Yueyue is coming back to her own home, where else would she go?”
Shen Yu hurriedly laughed.
“Indeed, I was confused. Yueyue, it’s good that you’re back. Mother has made you a lot of clothes, try them on later.”
Cong Zhonglan also smiled and said, “Yueyue, you don’t know, whenever Mother has free time, she misses you and makes clothes for you. She’s so fast, I can’t even keep up.”
The family laughed for a while, all looking at Qi Yue with expectant eyes.
Zhao Shuanghua and a few others then asked about her experiences during this time, and Qi Yue described them in detail.
Of course, Qi Yue didn’t mention the specific quest for the White Rhino. She just briefly mentioned her trip to Western Chu in search of the National Treasure and how she fortuitously encountered medical herbs.
Hearing that she happened upon the Prefectural Governor of Longnan County, Chu Yuntian, and had taken him as her foster father, the Zhao family responded with amazed exclamations.
“My Yueyue is truly a child of fortune, encountering benefactors everywhere she goes,” Shen Yu said, wiping the corner of her eyes, her face brimming with joy.
“Sister-in-law has always been a benefactor to our family!” Zhao Shuangxue, gnawing on a piece of meat, mumbled indistinctly.
This once commonplace address of ‘sister-in-law’ now sounded so jarring to the ear, and Qi Yue simply smiled.
Zhao Shuangyun, being younger, probably did not know about her finalized divorce from Zhao Xiyan.
But this also once again pulled Qi Yue out of the warm and cozy family atmosphere.
So, she spoke of her plans to open a pharmacy in the Longnan County Government.
“Originally, I didn’t want to stay in Longnan County anymore, and I wanted to travel around, but my foster father insisted on keeping me there. He said my father had intentions of taking me there before, and I figured that going elsewhere I’d likely be treating others as well, so staying wouldn’t be so bad.”
“If you guys have any issues in the future, you can go to the oversight office to find Qu Wei and have him send word. It’s very convenient for me to come back.”
She spoke as if it were no big deal, seeing that Zhao Yongzhe and the others had all stopped using their chopsticks, showing obvious surprise.
But Zhao Xiyan, he continued to eat his meal in an orderly fashion.
First, he put two grains of rice into his mouth, chewed them twice, then a slender wild vegetable, chewed six times, and then his lightning-sharp Adam’s apple throbbed for a moment, swallowing it down…
Then it was two more grains of rice, not one too many, not one too few.
Calm and undisturbed, as if nothing had happened.
Qi Yue chuckled internally and quickly changed the subject, talking to Zhonglan about Zhang Fang’s situation.
Learning that her man might be relieved of the toils of pearl diving and could possibly regain freedom, Zhonglan didn’t even care about finishing her meal and stood up wanting to kneel before Qi Yue.
Qi Yue hurriedly stopped her and offered some consoling words.
After dinner, Qi Yue excused herself, saying she needed to prepare the medical herbs for treatment the next day, and hid herself in the pharmacy.
The pharmacy was just as before, clean and orderly everywhere, which showed that Shen Yu often cleaned here.
She entered the inner room and lay down on the small bed, her heart unable to calm for a long time.
