Chapter 107 - 107: Fierce and Cute
Xu Xian was very happy to hear her say that.
Liu Shimei said, “How about this? I have a few medicine books at home. I’ll bring them over tomorrow and give them to you. You can go back and learn how to recognize medicine first. Let’s talk about other things after you have gotten a little more familiar with it.”
In other words, if one did not have talent, then being a medicine boy was better than being a handyman.
Of course, he could not be considered a ‘child’ at his age, but not all the shopkeepers in charge of buying medicine in the medical halls knew how to treat patients. They knew medicine by memory. They knew the names of all medicines and even the quality of them.
Therefore, as long as Xu Xian was familiar with medicinal herbs and knew some medicinal principles, regardless of whether he would succeed in the future, at least he would not starve to death and would not leave this profession.
To Xu Xian, he needed a stable and long-term career.
Xu Xian knew that Liu Shimei was a very generous person, but he did not expect her to be this generous!
“Why are you helping me?” he asked.
“Probably…” Liu Shimei smiled and said, “Because I think we can be friends!”
She thought to herself, ‘It’s probably because you’re simple and honest in some way, just like my silly dog!’
But in reality, she had her own selfish motives.
Xu Xian had a good heart. If she could bring him out, even if he could not learn medicine and become a doctor, he could at least be a medicine boy. In the future, when she opened a medical hall, he would be the shopkeeper to buy medicine for her. Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?
Xu Xian was encouraged. “I’ve never made friends before. Is it really okay?”
Liu Shimei thought to herself, ‘This person is probably the eldest in the family. He has to bear the burden of his younger siblings since he was young. Later, when his father fell, he had to bear the burden of the family. Therefore, he lived a self-abased life. Of course, his life was also good.’
She smiled at him and said, “Why not? We can be friends and help each other. Now that I’m ahead of you, I can help you. Who knows when you’ll be able to improve further? I don’t know when I’ll have your help in the future!”
“Thank you, Miss Zhi Liu!” Xu Xian’s blood was boiling as expected.
Liu Shimei smiled and said, “You and I are of the same age. Since we’re friends, let’s call each other by name. Don’t say ’Miss’.”
“Alright.” Xu Xian smiled shyly.
Just as he reached the intersection of Willow Alley, he saw a tall figure leaning against the branch of the weeping willow at the intersection. He was originally bored, but when he saw Liu Shimei’s figure, his eyes immediately lit up.
Liu Shimei looked over and could not help but smile. She really missed the silly and cute husky! Great looks, low IQ, fierce and cute! He can fight, and can be adored!
“Wife, you’re back?”
Huangfu Lingyao rushed over, and when he saw Xu Xian, his gaze was still unfriendly. He was like a dog that had peed on its territory. Anyone who approached would be treated as an intruder.
However, due to Liu Shimei’s warning yesterday, he did not dare to make a move!
Xu Xian subconsciously took a step back and waved at him. “I don’t have any improper thoughts about Miss Zhi Liu… We’re just… Just…”
He was too embarrassed to say the word ‘friends’.
Liu Shimei laughed and said, “Alright, Lingyao, let’s go back.”
“See you tomorrow!”
“See you tomorrow,” Xu Xian said shyly.
It was obvious that he did not have enough momentum.
Liu Shimei pulled Huangfu Lingyao into the alley and said, “Not bad, you improved today! It’s worthy of praise!”
Hearing the word ‘praise’, the silly dog’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “Then what’s the reward?”
“What reward do you want?” Liu Shimei asked with a smile.
Seeing that this guy was about to say that he wanted to kiss her again, she hurriedly said, “Shall I sew a sachet for you?”
