Chapter 363 - Keeping The Good Stuff For Yourself
Beauty and the Bodyguard
Lin Yiâs answer wasnât definitive- he didnât say to Fen blatantly that heâd be able to cure her for sure, only that it was possible! Yet that made Fen all the more happier, because if Lin Yi had said that sheâd heal with certainty then sheâd think he was consoling her⦠Lin Yiâs words actually gave Fen confidence.
âLin Yi, will you really be able to heal my leg?â Fen was both surprised and delighted- even Xiaobo was looking at Lin Yi in anticipation.
âYes, but donât rush it.â Lin Yi smiled. âItâs not a problem at all.â
Lin Yi had some medicine back home that stimulated the nerves, something the old man used to give him so as to stimulate his bodyâs potential. He didnât need that kind of strengthening medicine anymore after starting his Art of Dragon Mastery training, so heâd just put it aside.
Since he didnât need it himself, he didnât see the point in getting into the research of that sort of medicine. Even if he didnât go back to his old home for the materials, heâd get the recipe all the same if he did some research of his own, or gave Old Lin a call.
âYeah!â Fen nodded her head, excited. It was her dream, after all, to be able to walk like everyone else. She felt refreshed now that Lin Yi had given her hope again.
Xiaobo, on the other hand, was quite happy at Fenâs change in attitude. He talked to her about the interesting things that happened at school, including Lin Yiâs heroic deeds, his slaps and kicks on Ruoming and Pinliang.
âYin Yin sure is lucky to meet your boss! Heâs nice, and treats her nice too.â Fen was evidently happy for Tang Yin- her boyfriend was so many times better than that Kang Zhaoming!
âIsnât Xiaobo nice to you as well?â Lin Yi added.
âYeah, Iâm your follower, after all, boss! Iâve inherited your kind ways.â Xiaobo said dramatically.
âHahaâ¦â Fen giggled. âInherited? Heâs not your dad!â
Tang Yin was in disbelief when she got on the car.
âFen⦠you⦠youâre so beautifulâ¦â Tang Yin rubbed her eyes, not expecting Fen to look so beautiful- sheâd been used to a sickly Fen all these years, after allâ¦
âStop joking around, Yin⦠Iâll never be as pretty as you!â Fen was quite happy from the praise- she wasnât on the same level as Tang Yin, who was already beautiful even without makeup, but she was still very much above average.
âThey say girls dress for the man they fancy- youâre all dressed up for Kang Xiaobo, arenât you!â Tang YIn joked.
âMe? Yin⦠why arenât you in your school uniform today? Thatâs a nice dress youâre wearing, too- Iâve never seen you in it before.â Fen shifted the attention back to Tang Yin.
âThis dress... â Tang Yinâs face reddened- it was the one Lin Yi bought her back at the night market, the one sheâd kept tucked away in her closet out of her frustration towards Lin Yi.
Now that her relationship with Lin Yi had been fixed, there was no reason for her to avoid it anymore.
âI gave it to her.â Lin Yi said with a smile.
âOhâ¦â Xiaobo and Fen nodded understandingly.
âWhat! I gave you fifty kuai for it!â Tang Yin glared. âIf you say itâs a gift then when are you planning to give it back!â
âHahaâ¦â Lin Yi knew that it was a joke- Tang Yin wouldnât really ask for that money back.
âOh, right- boss, whereâs that gift you prepared?â Xiaobo asked all of a sudden.
âHere.â Lin Yi pulled out a very exquisite looking box from his pocket- it was small.
âOh? Whatâs this? It looks so high-end!â Xiaobo said curiously as he received it from Lin Yi. âHm? Boss, whatâs this black pill?â
âPill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing.â Lin Yi answered with his original name.
âPill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing?â Xiaobo repeated. âHow come Iâve heard of this before?â
âA miracle doctor gave it to me- thereâs not much in stock.â Lin Yi said. âItâll quickly cleanse the toxins from your body for the sake of extending your life- using it will give you somewhere between five to ten years of life!â
âShit! That good..? Seriously, boss? Why give him something this amazing?â Xiaoboâs words rendered Fen and Tang Yin a little speechless.
âIsnât he your second grandpa?â Lin Yi was speechless as well.
âYes, but he doesnât treat my family very well these past years⦠Something like this⦠Iâd rather use it myself, no, give it to Fen!â Xiaobo remembered Fen just after naming himself.
Fen was a bit moved, but rejected it. âWe donât need this kind of stuff at our age, right?â
âFenâs right!â Lin Yi nodded. âYouâre young, so even if you wanna cleanse your toxins there wonât be much to cleanse. Itâs extra effective for old people.â
âSo thatâs how it is!â Xiaobo said, enlightened. âBut still, giving something this good to him is still a pity! Wouldnât it be better to just keep it for myself?â
âI still have some by the time youâll need it- Iâm saving them for you.â Lin Yi smiled. âWeâll just give this to that second grandpa of yours, okay?â
âOkayâ¦â Xiaobo looked at the pill a little regretfully. âBoss, youâre not playing one on me or anything, right? Is this really that amazing?â
âItâs not amazing or anything, it has scientific research behind it- the more toxins we accumulate the higher the threat they pose to our bodies! Especially people who are older, their bodies have more and more toxins piled up if they donât take precautions from when they were still young.â Lin Yi explained. âIt just removes toxins, thatâs all- it doesnât really do much other than that.â
âI see!â Xiaobo nodded. âAlright then, weâll just give this to him since heâs my second grandpa.â
Lin Yi then drove towards Donghai- it was a city in the province, only around three hours away from Songshan.
Lin Yiâs van wasnât as fast as the other cars, so itâd be a four-hour trip for them. There wasnât much he could do about it, since pushing the car over its limits would result in it falling apart.
It was already six by the time they reached Donghai.
âWhere do we go?â Lin Yi had no idea where he was after exiting the highway- he didnât know anything about Donghai at all.
âWait, Iâll make a call!â Xiaobo signaled for Lin Yi to park at the roadside as he dialed his parents up.
