章 38: That Was Awkward
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
Just from that, he was already so much better than Huo Shaofeng.
Huo Chenhuan showed his sincerity. The family would not let Su Yayan's trousseau be cheap, and they were planning to let Su Yayan choose her own.
Eventually, they would transfer to her the ownership of whichever company she was fond of. She would then be able to hold her head up when she was facing her in-laws.
"Cough cough cough… cough cough cough…" Looking at his wife and daughter chattering away, Mr. Su, who had stood there for some time, was trying to involve himself and drew some attention.
Su Yayan heard him coughing and asked in concern. "Dad, what's wrong?"
Cheng Xiuqin saw through her husband's clumsy act. Even though it was annoying, it was funny. She said in amusement, "Recently he's complaining about his dry throat and that he's feeling uncomfortable. Just ignore him."
Mr. Su gave an aggrieved sound to express his dissatisfaction immediately after he heard what his wife said.
It was not hard for Su Yayan to understand what he intended, so she smiled and said, "I reckon that daddy's throat could be due to excessive internal heat in the body. I'll make a sweet stewed snow pear for him, it nourishes the lungs and is cough relieving. He'll feel better soon."
"Sweet stewed snow pear?" Cheng Xiuqin had no idea what it was.
However, when she heard that she was going to make something for him, it whetted her appetite as well.
Mr. Su's eyes brightened up, and a pleased smile curved on the corner of his lips. Cheng Xiuqin was annoyed. "What about me? I've been feeling weak lately."
"Weak?" Su Yayan immediately changed the topic to please her parents. "Then I'll make Chinese wolfberry with Chinese red date tea for you. It's a good liver tonic, improves your eyesight, and beautifies your skin. Brother has been sleeping late these days, his eyes should be tired—he can drink some too."
Su Yuxuan, "…" In the end, he just happened to be there while she was at it. What heartache!
Women were no match when it came to beauty. Cheng Xiuqin's initially dark expression changed and she forced out a smile. "Sounds better this way."
Su Yayan was tired but pleased after putting great effort to appease her competitive family.
Finally having some free time, she received some feedback from the lucky viewers.
[Congratulations, Host. You have gained Conviction Point+4. Tests revealed that Host's Conviction Point has reached five, one main supportive skill unlocked. Unlock now? Yes or No?]
"Main supportive skill? There are different classes for supportive skills?"
[There are only four main supportive skills for Traditional Chinese medicine—Observation, Auscultation and Olfaction, Inquiry, and Palpation. They are interchangeable skills, the Conviction Points must reach the threshold value to unlock them.]
"Observation, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and palpation?" Su Yayan muttered. "Unlock it, then."
[Congratulations, Host. You have unlocked the main supportive skill—Observation. You are able to use the skill to observe physical health conditions and state of illness. Chance of misinterpretation is zero point zero, zero, zero…one percent.]
Su Yayan, "…" Even an ellipsis had been used, perhaps the misinterpretation percentage was one in one hundred million!
However, it was undoubtedly a practical skill, which explained why it required five Conviction Points to unlock it.
Su Yayan could not wait to see the effect of the supportive skill. She went for a walk, and walked in a circle around her house immediately.
She could see that the old gardener who was forty or fifty years old was suffering from slight rheumatism in the leg and cold feet. The family cook, Aunt Li, was experiencing menopause. The new maid who just came in had a menstrual disorder. Something was wrong with the lungs of the old driver who loved to smoke, on top of… cough cough, troubles with s*xual relationships.
On the other hand, the three family members who claimed that they were having a dry throat, sleeping late, and feeling weak…they were all healthy and nothing was wrong.
Su Yayan, "…" That was awkward.
章 39: I Trust You
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Yayan was aware that she knew too much and did not want to uncover all kinds of truths, so she did not dare to stay outside for long. She decided to run back to her room, with the urge of sharing this with someone else.
"Seems like you're in a good mood?" Huo Chenhuan accepted Su Yayan's video call invitation. The screen showed someone with a big smile on her face, the curves of the lips stretched almost until her neck. His mood got better just by looking at her.
"My grandpa is coming over next week."
"Alright, go spend more time with him." Huo Chenhuan knew Su Yayan was close with her grandfather, he was sure about that.
Something came into his mind. He chose his words carefully and said, "Does he know about our engagement?"
"Are you worried?" Su Yayan was keen enough to perceive Huo Chenhuan's uneasiness, and she smiled. "Don't worry, my grandpa is a kind person. He'll like you just like how I do."
The person on the screen had her eyes and whole heart on him, telling him how much she liked him.
Huo Chenhuan's heart softened and he spoke in a soft voice, "He must be very fond of you."
"I'm grandpa's favorite, so I'm sure he'll like you too." 'And it's not only because when you love someone, you're more likely to love the things related to them. It was also because you loved me like how I love you, maybe even deeper than that.'
"However, there's bad news to tell you. My mom told me that girls shouldn't be taking the initiative, so she asked me not to find you that often. My grandpa and aunt are coming over next week and I'll have to accompany them. I probably can't meet you."
Huo Chenhuan's eyes slightly sank. "It's alright. There will be more time for us before long…"
Su Yayan's eyes brightened marginally. 'Yes, there will be more time for the both of us, we're getting married next month. What's awaiting us will be years of companionship, and to be by each other's side.'
That was what she thought. However, Su Yayan was not very happy and twitched her lips. "But, I'd love to meet you earlier."
Huo Chenhuan's heart shook a little and he responded, "Then I'll find you tomorrow."
"Ah, what about the day after tomorrow? I promised my brother that I'll be visiting our family company tomorrow."
"Alright, then." Huo Chenhuan replied and added, "Do you need me to send someone for company?"
"It's alright, my brother made some arrangements for that. Moreover, it's our family's company, everything will be fine."
"Alright."
Su Yayan turned her gaze around and spoke in a soft voice, "I want to see you, your whole body. Can I?"
Huo Chenhuan fell silent for quite a while, then the image on the screen shifted.
It was followed by the changes of images on the screen. Su Yayan saw Huo Chenhuan was now showing his back, maneuvering his wheelchair to somewhere further away.
The moment he turned around, Su Yayan saw the lower part of Huo Chenhuan's body was marked with a red zone.
This confirmed that what he told her was not exaggerating at all—the lower parts of his body were mostly in bad condition.
Although she already knew about this, when she saw that with her own eyes, Su Yayan's eyes turned red uncontrollably.
She suppressed the heart-wrenching feeling that was surging within her, her voice was shaking while she spoke with determination. "You'll recover."
"What?" Huo Chenhuan came forward—he did not clearly hear what she said just now.
"I said, we'll make things better in the future." Su Yayan sniffed and smiled faintly. "Trust me."
Although Huo Chenhuan had lived for quite some time, it was his first time realizing that the word 'future' could sound so beautiful.
The person who stood before him gave his dull life a streak of light. He once hated everything in the world, but her existence made him finally have those little hearty expectations and something to yearn for.
"I trust you, I do." 'Because it's you, I believe in every word you say.'
