Chapter 2047 — Utter Astonishment
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao drove the car back to the villa, but as they drew near, he saw Han Jingyi next door standing in her villa's courtyard looking this way and that. When she spotted Wei Zhao's car, she at once came running over in great excitement.
Han Jingyi's behavior struck Wei Zhao, Shen Yushu, and Gu Mengyao as rather strange. What was this girl doing standing in the villa courtyard in such cold weather? Though it had not yet reached the bitter freeze of deep winter, the weather in November was still very cold, and if Han Jingyi stood alone in the courtyard long enough, she was bound to catch a chill.
"Han Jingyi, what are you doing?" Wei Zhao got out of the car and asked, rather puzzled.
"Brother Wei Zhao, you're back! Jingjing was waiting for the car!" Han Jingyi said.
"Waiting for the car?" Wei Zhao was at a loss for words. "Waiting for my car? You want to go out?"
"No, I was waiting for your car to come back. I have something to talk to you about," Han Jingyi said.
"...Then there's no need to stand in the courtyard waiting, is there? Aren't you afraid of catching cold?" Wei Zhao truly did not know what to say to Han Jingyi's behavior.
"Jingjing isn't afraid of catching cold. Brother Wei Zhao is very good at curing colds, and it feels very comfortable too. Last time Jingjing produced a lot of water, it was so nice," Han Jingyi said.
"Pfft... cough, cough..." Wei Zhao choked and sputtered at Han Jingyi's words. Why did it feel like there was so much ambiguity in what she said?
"Oh?" Shen Yushu, too, was looking at Wei Zhao with a strange light in her eyes. "Brother Stand-in, didn't you say last time that you didn't touch her? Then how could she feel comfortable, and produce water too?"
Gu Mengyao was not as brazen as Shen Yushu, who would ask anything that came to mind, but she too frowned, looking at Wei Zhao with some bewilderment. She had just been thinking of accepting Wang Xinyan—why did it seem now that the one Wei Zhao had his eye on was Han Jingyi?
"Acupuncture. She worked up a sweat and then took a bath, so she felt refreshed," Wei Zhao explained, sweating a little.
"..." Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao were both left speechless. With the way Han Jingyi talked, it was hard not to let one's thoughts wander.
"Brother Wei Zhao, what's wrong with them? Why are they looking at Jingjing with such strange eyes? Has Jingjing got flowers growing on her face?" Han Jingyi asked, puzzled.
"No... Never mind that. First tell me what you were waiting here for," Wei Zhao said, not wishing to continue the previous topic.
"Right, right, Jingjing almost forgot the important thing!" Han Jingyi lowered her voice. "Brother Wei Zhao, Jingjing has refined the dan fire!"
"Ga?" At Han Jingyi's words, Wei Zhao nearly dropped his jaw in astonishment! Dan fire? It had only been a few days—Han Jingyi had actually condensed the dan fire already?
"What is it, Brother Wei Zhao? Is Jingjing very stupid, taking so many days just to condense the dan fire..." Han Jingyi looked at Wei Zhao with an air of innocence and grievance. "But Jingjing has been working very hard! It was only after Jingjing calculated and scientifically optimized the mental method for condensing dan fire that she was able to condense it today. Otherwise Jingjing reckoned it would have taken much longer!"
