Chapter 661: The Act of Comforting Qin Shu Was Clumsy
He was the luckiest.
When he was young, his mother often told him that his grandfather had high hopes for him and that he would work hard to live up to his grandfather’s expectations when he grew up.
Before he went up the mountain to learn martial arts, he had always worked hard to become what his grandfather thought of him.
He worked hard to become outstanding.
As a result, he spent most of his time studying every day and only had Hua Wuyan by his side as a friend.
It was just that after he went up the mountain, he met the Little Munchkin and his fellow disciples who were learning martial arts together.
One must be happy in one’s life and never let go of your happiness.
This was something that the Little Munchkin often told him.
Every time he stayed in his room, he would read, study, or practise martial arts.
The Little Munchkin would come and look for him. She would invite him to participate in some activities, as well as some interesting things.
Activities mean games that the martial brothers played together.
As for the interesting things, they were things that he did behind his master’s back.
In his ordinary martial arts career, she often appeared in front of him. She was petite and her brows and eyes often contained smiles. They were bright and beautiful.
Old Master Han looked at his grandson in front of him and heard his softened tone. He was helpless. “Xiao’er, you are the heir of the Han family. This had been decided since you stayed by my side. You can’t care about yourself instead of the overall situation.”
“… Grandfather.” Han Xiao was guilty.
Old Master Han said, “You are the person who is about to inherit the helm of the Han family. You can’t act on impulse. It is an eternal law to start a family and establish a career. I gave you the chance to be with her, but you rejected it yourself.”
After Old Master Han finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the three daughters sitting on the guest seats.
The three daughters sat in a dignified manner and had decent appearances. With a glance, one could tell that they were highly educated people.
Although they were not as outstanding as Rong Yan, they were still outstanding.
He then retracted his gaze and looked at his grandson. “The three of them are outstanding in all aspects. It’s either you choose for yourself or they compete. The decision is on you.”
The old man’s words were cold and unyielding. As the head of the family, he should be decisive.
“Grandfather…” Han Xiao looked at the old man awkwardly, hoping that the old man would not force him.
Old Man Han said, “Xiao’er, you have to believe that grandfather is doing all of this for your good.”
Han Xiao lowered his eyes and stick to his original intentions. “Grandfather, I know that you are thinking about me, but I really can’t get engaged to any of them.”
Seeing that his grandson was stubborn, Grandfather Han asked, “You still can’t forget her? Then why don’t you let her participate in this competition? Are you afraid that she’ll lose?”
Han Xiao looked up at Grandfather Han and said with certainty, “She won’t lose.”
Seeing that his grandson was so certain, Grandfather Han was interested. “Since that’s the case, why don’t you let her participate in the competition?”
Han Xiao said, “Grandfather, seven years is too long. It’s too late.”
Old Master Han was stunned. He did not understand what his grandson meant. What did he mean by it was too late?
The Butler walked over at this moment. “Old Master, a guest has arrived.”
Old Master Han waved his hand, indicating for the butler to send someone over.
The Butler understood and turned to leave.
After a while, Fu Tingyu, Qin Shu, and Jun Li followed the butler over.
They greeted each other politely.
Old Master Han had heard of the fourth Master of Jiang Cheng, but this was the first time he had seen the fourth master in person.
It was rumoured that the fourth Master of Jiang Cheng was a rarely seen handsome man. His style was swift and decisive, and he was ruthless.
He wasn’t sure about other things about him. As for his appearance, it was even better than the rumours.
After sizing him up, Old Master Han asked, “Fourth Master Fu, what brings you to Han Manor?”
Fu Tingyu said politely, “Old Master Han, Han Xiao and I are fellow disciples, so I came to see him.”
When Han Xiao saw Fu Tingyu coming, he glanced at Qin Shu again. He did not know why they were here at this time.
A hint of surprise flashed in Old Master Han’s eyes. “So it’s Xiao’er’s fellow disciples.”
He looked at Qin Shu again, and the doubt in his eyes disappeared.
Han Xiao looked away. “Grandpa, I’ll talk to them for a while.”
Old Master Han nodded. “Okay, go ahead.”
Ten minutes later, in the pavilion.
Four people sat around a table.
Han Xiao looked at the three people in front of him and asked, “Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to go back?”
Looking at Han Xiao’s thin face, Qin Shu felt even more guilty. “I wanted to see you.”
“I’m fine.” Han Xiao’s voice was indifferent.
Hearing Han Xiao’s words, Qin Shu knew that he was saying this to not let her worry.
“I’ll think of a way to cure your leg.”
Han Xiao rejected her directly. “No need. You’ve been with me for the past few days. It’s enough. I’ll cooperate with the treatment of my leg myself. When it’s recovered, I’ll go to Jiang Cheng to see…”
Before Han Xiao could finish, Qin Shu interrupted him. “Enough. I knew that your leg won’t recover so easily.”
Han Xiao was stunned.
Qin Shu was choking up when she said this. She was not a person who was so emotional, and she was not someone who would cry easily.
She only cried for the man when she returned from her rebirth because she felt so sorry for him. She felt sorry for all his efforts, and she felt sorry for his stubbornness and his gentle feelings to her.
This time, she could not suppress the urge to cry. It was as if she had been suppressing it for a long time, looking for a breakthrough.
The hand on her leg was tightly clenched into a fist. Because she used too much strength, her long nails pierced into her palm, piercing through the tender flesh.
The man sitting at the side saw the girl’s actions. He extended his big hand and covered her hand. His slender fingers intersected with the slender fingers to stop the girl from piercing her palm after using too much strength.
The man’s silent actions seemed to give her strength and be her strong back.
When the tears were about to burst out of her tear ducts, she stopped them forcefully.
Because things had happened, crying was useless. The most important thing was to solve the current problem.
She tried hard to calm her emotions. “I knew that without the orchid grass, your leg won’t recover. I also knew that because of me, you almost lost your hand.”
“It’s not that serious. Look, my hand is fine.” Han Xiao deliberately raised his arm to show her. “My leg will recover soon.”
Han Xiao’s actions of comforting Qin Shu were somewhat clumsy and unnatural.
Han Xiao was a man of few words. He was not a person who was good at comforting, nor was he a person who was good at making girls happy.
He rarely spoke, and he always used actions instead of saying.
Qin Shu said, “Han Xiao if you bear this silently and don’t say anything, it will only make me feel more guilty.”
“… Qin Shu, I…” Han Xiao saw Qin Shu’s guilty expression, and his eyes turned dark. He did not want her to be like this but in the end…
