If you drive me to my death, and I'm reborn, I won't recognize my own family, so why are y

Chapter 22 The Goddess with a Contrasting Aloofness

Inside an old-fashioned, antique-style shop on the old street in the western part of Nancheng.

"Huhuhu..."

On the second floor, Xia Liuli, dressed lightly and barefoot, sat by the window, enjoying the breeze from a small fan.

She was usually aloof and rarely showed strong emotions, but at this moment, resentment was easily seen on her pretty face.

"Liuli, come down and help me tidy up. We can open for business in a couple of days once we're all set up." Chen Lin's energetic shout came from downstairs.

Xia Liuli couldn't help but roll her eyes.

The fact that the teacher agreed to hold a consultation at Xiao Chen's small clinic was already enough to leave her speechless, but her arrival made her even more speechless.

Let's not even talk about the old, dilapidated apartment; there's practically nothing here.

On a sweltering day, Xia Liuli could only rely on a small fan to cool off.

She only got this because she couldn't help but complain to Xiao Chen.

She felt a surge of anger when she recalled Xiao Chen's shameless manner when he said he was "tight on funds."

When has the eldest daughter of the prestigious Xia family ever suffered like this?

But she only wanted to stay with Chen Lin and didn't want to go back to her family, which was something she couldn't do.

"The teacher must be possessed, or Xiao Chen has drugged her," Xia Liuli thought worriedly.

This was too strange. Although she asked Chen Lin many times, she did not get an answer.

"Teacher, you have so much energy, why don't you do it yourself?" Xia Liuli replied weakly, leaning against the window.

Chen Lin wasn't annoyed and continued tidying up happily.

"Mr. Xiao, you've arrived..." A voice came from downstairs. Xia Liuli immediately frowned, walked to the door, and peeked down.

It was none other than that annoying Xiao Chen who arrived at the shop and was talking to the teacher.

After exchanging a few words, Xiao Chen said he wanted to look around, and Chen Lin told him to do as he pleased.

Xiao Chen strolled upstairs when suddenly a fair, white arm reached out and pulled him inside.

Just as Xiao Chen regained his composure, he saw Xia Liuli approaching him, dressed in a cool outfit.

It must be said that Xia Liuli's appearance and figure were superb. Even though Xiao Chen had good self-control, he was still dazzled by the snow-white figure in front of him.

"Where are you looking?" Xia Liuli's face turned cold after noticing, and she quickly pulled down the clothes hanging on her head and put them on.

The place was really simple; she even tied the clothesline herself.

With a slightly stronger pull, a black triangular piece of cloth fell down and covered Xiao Chen's face.

In an instant, a unique and alluring fragrance wafted into Xiao Chen's nose.

Xiao Chen reached out and took the fabric down, then looked down at it and his expression changed drastically.

The fabric is nice, very silky to the touch, lightweight and breathable, and only provides coverage in specific areas, leaving much to the imagination.

Moreover, it's a lace...

Xiao Chen gave Xia Liuli a strange look.

I really couldn't tell...

Who would have thought that someone who is usually so aloof would dress like this?

Xiao Chen's expression became intriguing.

Xiao Chen had little contact with this aloof goddess, with whom he had been betrothed since childhood, in both his past and present lives. However, in his past life, her ending was not good; she was also forced to death by her relatives, so they could be considered to have suffered the same fate.

Xiao Chen sighed inwardly and rubbed the things in his hands together.

"what are you doing?"

Xia Liuli's cheeks were already flushed, her face filled with shame and indignation.

Seeing Xiao Chen come up, she wanted to pull him in to ask him alone, and for a moment she ignored the situation in her own room.

However, this awkward situation was also caused by Xiao Chen's stinginess, which made her even angrier.

Seeing Xiao Chen rubbing her personal belongings in his hands, Xia Liuli felt her whole body burning up and immediately lunged forward, determined to take the things away.

"boom……"

As she lunged, she bumped into something and lost her balance, crashing into Xiao Chen, and both of them fell to the ground.

After a muffled thud, an ambiguous scene unfolded.

Xiao Chen lay on the ground, with Xia Liuli on top of him.

The two looked at each other, each holding half of their triangular clothing.

Xiao Chen's other hand was supporting himself against a soft object.

This is a scene that is enough to make one's blood boil.

Xia Liuli's eyes were filled with panic and shame as she stared intently at Xiao Chen.

"It's not my fault...you pounced on me yourself..." Xiao Chen said awkwardly.

"I'm going to kill you!" Xia Liuli said through gritted teeth, her voice filled with murderous intent.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but shiver.

Xia Liuli quickly got up and packed her things.

Although she remained silent and appeared calm, her movements seemed somewhat flustered.

Xiao Chen was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

"Nothing else, I'll go downstairs now." He tried to slip away.

"stop!"

Xia Liuli turned around, her face regaining its usual coldness.

I don't know if she's really calmed down or if she's just pretending.

“There’s a question you must answer clearly,” she said seriously. “Why did my teacher treat you that way?”

Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.

“Because Dr. Chen admires the Sage of Medicine,” he replied.

“I know that.” Xia Liuli’s expression remained unchanged, her gaze fixed sharply on him.

"What does this have to do with you?"

“I know the Sage of Medicine.” Xiao Chen shrugged.

Xia Liuli's eyes immediately trembled, and her expression subtly changed.

"Are you telling the truth?" she asked, somewhat skeptical.

Xiao Chen, an outcast of the Xiao family, a person struggling at the bottom, how could he have any interaction with a top figure like the Medical Saint?

"Whether it's true or not, just look at your teacher's behavior and you'll know," Xiao Chen said.

Xia Liuli remained silent, clearly already somewhat convinced.

"Where is the Sage of Medicine? Could you take me to see him?" she asked slowly.

Xiao Chen noticed a flicker of fervor in her eyes.

In the medical field of Xia Kingdom, the legend of the Sage of Medicine is awe-inspiring, and there are too many people who want to meet him.

A large part of this stems from worship.

"This Xia Liuli, I thought there was nothing that could move her..." Xiao Chen had a mischievous sense of humor.

“You can see the Sage of Medicine, of course, but why should I help you?” he said seriously.

Xia Liuli frowned.

"Tell me, what are your conditions?"

Xiao Chen looked Xia Liuli up and down, making her feel very uncomfortable.

"If you try anything with me, don't blame me for turning my back on you! Even your teacher won't help you!" Xia Liuli said unhappily, revealing a hint of disgust.

"You're overthinking it," Xiao Chen said irritably. "Just follow Dr. Chen closely and work hard at my clinic. When the time is right, I will naturally take you to see the Sage of Medicine."

After saying that, Xiao Chen turned around and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Xia Liuli stood there, looking somewhat puzzled.

If Xiao Chen were truly a lustful fiend, he probably wouldn't have been able to control himself just now.

He reacted to physical contact, but made no other moves, nor did he take advantage of the situation to threaten or take advantage of me...

Xia Liuli couldn't help but doubt the rumors.

His eyes were crystal clear; he didn't seem like a beast who would even harm his own sister.

Outside the room, Xiao Chen let out a long breath, finally suppressing the restlessness within him.

"Pah, what were you pretending to be, this gentleman..."

He regretted it.
