Chen Nan felt inexplicably agitated.
He had just finished one thing, and now he was being called over?
Couldn't he have called earlier?
If he had called an hour earlier, why would he have needed to come see Xie Churan?
"I'm coming over now!"
Chen Nan hung up the phone, though he really didn't want to go.
But he knew Xie Churan's illness couldn't wait.
The later it got, the harder it would be to cure.
"Are you leaving?" Xie Churan looked at Chen Nan reluctantly. She had thought they could sleep in each other's arms, but now he had to leave again.
Chen Nan shrugged helplessly, "I have to go!"
"Mwah!"
Xie Churan pecked Chen Nan on the cheek and then watched him disappear into the darkness!
------
It was already one in the morning when he arrived at the summer resort.
Knock, knock, knock!
Xu Qingxin opened the door with a nervous expression.
The room was dimly lit.
But he could still see her figure.
She was wearing a pink silk slip dress that accentuated her graceful curves.
She was tall and much more well-endowed than Chen Nan had imagined!
Xu Qingxin was currently experiencing cold during the day and intense heat at night.
Her face was flushed, and there were tiny beads of sweat on her forehead!
"I'm going to take a shower first!"
Chen Nan headed straight for the bathroom. After all, he had just rushed over from Xie Churan's place, and her scent was still on him.
Taking a shower was a sign of respect for each other!
Ten minutes later, Chen Nan lay down beside Xu Qingxin and said, "I know you don't want this either, as we have no feelings for each other. To avoid you thinking I'm taking advantage of you, I won't make a move. You can do whatever you want with the rest!"
Xu Qingxin was completely bewildered!
You want me to make the first move?
That's rude!
And besides!
Even if you want me to make the first move, shouldn't you give me some indication?
Give me the chance to be proactive?
"Shall I dance for the Ancestor?" Xu Qingxin managed a weak smile. Chen Nan was like a dead person right now; even if she wanted to be proactive, she had no opportunity.
According to Jia Cui, the atmosphere wasn't right yet!
Chen Nan shook his head, "There are many ways to build up the atmosphere. Dancing is too much of a waste of time!"
Xu Qingxin asked with difficulty, "Then what should I do?"
"This question, shouldn't you be asking it?" Chen Nan said somewhat awkwardly. Although the woman in front of him was Xu Qingxin, a top-tier actress, he had just eaten his fill.
To put it bluntly, he wasn't very interested in Xu Qingxin at the moment!
Xu Qingxin was close to breaking down!
She had expected Chen Nan to pounce on her uncontrollably upon seeing her, like a fierce tiger tearing into her!
But she never expected him to be so indifferent, so unmoved!
At this moment!
Her innate sense of superiority was shattered!
Perhaps, she was ultimately reaching too high?
But...
Why was it like this?
Why was he genuinely in love with Yan Wushuang, and yet he was so aloof towards me?
A wave of unwillingness surged in her heart!
Then, she knelt before Chen Nan and lowered her head!
------
After a long time.
She, utterly exhausted, slid off Chen Nan.
A sense of resentment towards Chen Nan welled up in her heart.
People said that when love ran deep, one would do anything!
She thought Chen Nan was just talking, but she never expected that throughout the entire process, he had maintained his original lying position.
He truly hadn't moved at all!
He was genuinely just treating her illness!
Although she disliked this state, it had to be said.
Her body had undergone significant changes.
She felt much more comfortable overall.
"Ancestor, do you really dislike me?" Xu Qingxin asked softly, her eyes filled with grievance.
Chen Nan: "It's not dislike, nor is it like!"
Putting aside the unpleasantness of their first meeting, even though Xu Qingxin was the hottest actress in the country, he didn't have much of a good impression of her.
She was just a pretty actress; he didn't know her well.
"I feel like you really hate me. If that's the case, why did you come here so reluctantly to treat me?" Xu Qingxin's voice held a trace of pain and helplessness!
Chen Nan was amused, "Aren't you a disciple of the Red Handkerchief? If so, how can you not remember the rules of my Witch Sect?"
Xu Qingxin said softly, "Although I am a disciple of the Red Handkerchief, I am not familiar with the rules of the Outer Eight Families!"
Chen Nan sighed, "The rules of the Witch Sect are simple: you cannot refuse a patient who comes to you for treatment! Even if they are a heinous criminal who has killed countless people!"
Xu Qingxin felt even more heartbroken.
So, in your heart, I'm just a patient!
While feeling sad, it also ignited her competitive spirit!
"Don't you think the rules of the Witch Sect are unreasonable? For instance, if an eighty-year-old woman had a condition like mine, would you still have to treat her?"
Chen Nan: "I naturally wouldn't follow unreasonable rules, but you are not just a patient seeking treatment, you are also a disciple of the Outer Eight Families."
"As the highest-ranking disciple of the Outer Eight Families, I must first ensure the lives of the disciples of the Outer Eight Families, and only then ordinary patients!"
Xu Qingxin looked dejected.
He was saving me only because I'm a disciple of the Red Handkerchief?
Chen Nan said softly, "When you've rested enough, come up. It's best if we stay together for a longer period; it will be beneficial for your condition!"
Xu Qingxin was on the verge of collapsing, "Ancestor, I really can't move anymore. Can you move? Even if you move, I don't think you're taking advantage of me!"
She was a superstar in the eyes of countless people!
A dream lover in the hearts of countless men!
But in front of Chen Nan, she had to put down her pride and act extremely submissive.
"Since you've said so, I can't be an elder who abuses his authority! I'll grant you this one favor!" Chen Nan sighed. In the end, he was too soft-hearted to refuse Xu Qingxin's request.
However.
This woman, Xu Qingxin, was rather contradictory.
She couldn't withstand Chen Nan's onslaught at all!
Soon, she was begging for mercy!
But would Chen Nan grant her wish?
This night was destined to be restless!
Although Xu Qingxin was very tired, she felt a sense of exhaustion and gradually fell asleep in Chen Nan's arms like a kitten.
In fact, since her illness began, she hadn't slept a good night's sleep. Even if she could sleep, it wasn't sound.
But tonight, she felt a distinct difference!
Perhaps it was because Chen Nan was by her side; she inexplicably felt a sense of security, as if nothing could shake her!
The sky outside gradually brightened.
As dawn broke, a fiery red sun appeared on the distant horizon.
At the same time, the Yin and Yang energies within the sleeping Xu Qingxin tilted.
She became extremely cold, tightly clutching Chen Nan and seeking his body heat, wishing she could merge into his body.
Thus, Chen Nan treated Xu Qingxin again in the morning light.
The dual sensation of cold and heat made him exclaim with delight!
After the treatment, Xu Qingxin once again felt the terrifying power of Chen Nan!
She had felt extremely cold before, but after the treatment, the chill had significantly lessened.
Xu Qingxin couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor, how long will it take for my condition to be completely cured?"
"Conservatively, it will take more than ten days!" Chen Nan got up, put on his clothes, opened the balcony door, and walked outside.
He spread his hands, and several strands of hair from his second uncle, Chen He, appeared in his palm!
He was going to use his second uncle's hair to perform a bloodline summoning to find his paternal aunt's whereabouts!
