Chapter 474 Nothing Happened
Chapter 474 Nothing Happened
"Sister Wan...Sister Wanxi?"
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Wanxi, whose surrounding air pressure suddenly dropped terribly, and was full of doubts. She called out to her cautiously and tentatively.
"..."
Lin Wanxi bit her lip and forced a smile, though it didn't reach her eyes. "It's okay, let's go back. Lunch should be almost ready, Master."
"Okay, Sister Wanxi, let me tell you, besides the delicious roast chicken that the young master makes..."
……
Lin Wanxi's bedroom.
The flickering candlelight illuminates a table of steaming delicacies.
Lin Chuan was wearing a plain robe and sitting quietly at the table. His slender fingers casually flipped through the book in his hand with a focused expression. Occasionally he raised his head and looked towards the door, as if waiting for something.
"Well, it smells so good."
Ye Xiaoxiao's face was full of uncontrollable anticipation. She took Lin Wanxi's hand and walked quickly into the room.
"Where did you go? Did you have fun?"
Lin Chuan smiled gently, put down the book in his hand and walked to Lin Wanxi, gently brushing away the weeds on her head, his eyes full of concern and pampering.
"We went...to the back garden and had a lot of fun."
Lin Wanxi lowered her head. All the questions she had been rehearsing in her mind along the way were now swallowed back when they came to her lips. The courage she had accumulated disappeared in an instant, leaving only a feeling of disappointment and helplessness.
"Just be happy, let's eat."
Lin Chuan had a gentle smile on his lips. He gently took Lin Wanxi's hand and took her to sit next to him.
"Son..."
Lin Wanxi bit her lower lip slightly, and her hands unconsciously twisted the hem of her skirt.
"what happened?"
Lin Chuan had a puzzled look on his face, and his gaze fell gently on Lin Wanxi's face.
"Why don't we try the method you mentioned last night tonight? Even if it doesn't work, I'm willing to..."
Lin Wanxi's voice trembled slightly, and a touching blush quickly appeared on her fair cheeks.
"Don't worry, try this method last. Sister Li said there is a way to restore your eyes."
Lin Chuan had a gentle smile on his lips and reached out to gently rub Lin Wanxi's head.
"But young master..."
Lin Wanxi frowned slightly and wanted to say something else, but just as the anxious words came to her lips, she was interrupted by Lin Chuan's soft voice.
"Okay, eat first. Don't worry about your eyes. They will definitely get better."
Lin Chuan picked up a piece of braised fish that Lin Wanxi liked with chopsticks, removed the bones, and put it in her bowl.
"Sister Wanxi, eat chicken legs."
Ye Xiaoxiao picked up a big, fat and tender chicken leg from the plate and carefully placed it in Lin Wanxi's bowl.
"..."
Lin Wanxi moved her lips, wanting to say something but swallowed it back, and finally just sighed softly.
A complex wave of emotions surged in her heart, and she inexplicably felt that it was good not to be blind.
It would be best if Liyue could never find a way to recover. That way, Lin Chuan could use the method he had mentioned last night on her. Even if he ultimately failed, she could still leave everyone feeling satisfied.
"Are you in a daze? Or aren't you hungry? Do you want me to feed you?"
Seeing Lin Wanxi sitting motionless, Lin Chuan picked up a piece of fresh fish and slowly placed it to her mouth.
"..."
Lin Wanxi was slightly startled, and then she came back to her senses. She said in a panic, "I... I can do it myself... Sir, don't worry about me..."
"Be obedient and open your mouth."
Lin Chuan's hand rested steadily on Lin Wanxi's mouth, waiting patiently.
"Well……"
Lin Wanxi hesitated for a moment, but finally opened her mouth obediently, and the fish meat was gently put into her mouth.
"Don't feel burdened. It's natural for a brother to take care of his sister. You are not a burden to me."
Lin Chuan's voice was low and powerful, full of soothing meaning.
"..."
Lin Wanxi was silent for a moment, as if she was gathering up her courage.
Then, she spoke softly, her voice soft but firm, "But I don't want to be your sister."
After saying that, she bit her lip slightly and lowered her head even lower.
"Will Wanxi be willing to be my Taoist partner? It's only natural for Taoist partners to take care of each other. Don't worry about her becoming a burden to me."
Lin Chuan said softly with a faint smile on his face.
"..."
"If nothing had happened to me, would you still agree to let me be your Taoist partner?"
Lin Wanxi raised her head and met Lin Chuan's eyes. Although her invisible eyes were dull, they seemed to contain deep inquiry.
"..."
Lin Chuan was slightly startled. He hadn't expected Lin Wanxi to ask such a question so suddenly, and for a moment he was speechless. Just as he was about to answer, he saw Lin Wanxi lower her head, her white hair falling down, obscuring her expression.
"Sir, please eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
Her voice sounded calm, but there was a hint of loss in it.
"Ah."
Lin Chuan responded softly, his gaze still fixed on Lin Wanxi, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Chuan cautiously, then at Lin Wanxi, opened her mouth, and finally swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She lowered her head silently and ate the food in the bowl quietly, but from time to time she would secretly raise her eyes and look at the two of them with curiosity and worry.
After lunch, Lin Chuan gently put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Ye Xiaoxiao and Lin Wanxi, and said softly: "I'm going back first. Xiaoxiao, can you stay here with Wanxi? I'll come back to cook for you tomorrow."
"it is good."
Ye Xiaoxiao responded crisply, looked at Lin Chuan and said seriously: "Don't worry, sir, I will take good care of Sister Wanxi!"
"Well, good."
Lin Chuan gently touched Ye Xiaoxiao's head, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of approval.
Then, he turned his gaze to Lin Wanxi, his eyes showing a hint of tenderness. He took a step forward, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Whether you are in trouble or not, as long as you have made up your mind, I am willing to become your Taoist partner."
After saying this, he looked at her deeply before turning and leaving.
"That's great, Sister Wanxi. The Master is willing to have you as his Taoist companion."
Ye Xiaoxiao's voice was filled with excitement that could not be concealed. She grabbed Lin Wanxi's hand and shook it happily.
"..."
Lin Wanxi stood there in a daze, speechless.
