Chapter - 126 Acupuncture And Medicines Unable to Remedy (8) (1/2)

Zhang Wuji turned his attention to the little girl beside Ji Xiaofu. Pretty as a picture, the girl stared curiously at him with a pair of big and dark eyes before whispering, ”Mother, is this boy the physician?”

The word 'Mother' caused Ji Xiaofu to redden at once. But there was really nothing more that she could do to keep the matter under wraps. So, she replied awkwardly, ”This is an older brother from the Zhang family. His father was a friend of mine.” Then, she turned to Zhang Wuji and said, ”She … she is called 'Buhui'.” After a pause, she added, ”Her surname is Yang … Yang Buhui!”

Zhang Wuji laughed and said, ”That is great. Little Sister, your name is very similar to mine. I am called Zhang Wuji – 'No Resentments' – while you are Yang Buhui – 'No Regrets'.”

Seeing that Zhang Wuji did not react to her introduction of her daughter with shock or accusation, Ji Xiaofu heaved a silent sigh of relief. Then, she said to her daughter, ”Elder Brother Wuji is very skilful. I do not hurt very much anymore.”

Yang Buhui's lively eyes regarded Zhang Wuji for a moment. Then, she went forward, gave the boy a big hug and kissed him on the cheek. Besides her mother, she had never seen anyone else all her life. Therefore, she was very grateful that Zhang Wuji had reduced the pain and discomfort that her mother felt. Since she had always expressed joy and gratitude towards her mother by hugging and kissing her, she had done the same to the boy.

Ji Xiaofu smiled and said, ”Bu- er, do not do that. Brother Wuji does not like it.”

Yang Buhui opened her eyes wide in surprise, turned to Zhang Wuji and asked, ”You do not like it? Why do you not want me to be nice to you?”

Laughing in amusement, the boy replied, ”I like it. I want to be nice to you too.” He leaned forward and gave her a gentle peck on the cheek.

Yang Buhui clapped her hands. ”Little Physician,” she said, ”quickly make my mother completely well again and I will give you another kiss.”

Zhang Wuji found the innocent and lively little girl very adorable. All his life, he had known only people who were old enough to be his uncles. Although he treated Chang Yuchun as a brother and vice-versa, the man was still eight years older than he. Other than Zhou Zhiruo whom he had met for barely a day, he had never had any friends of his age. Therefore, he could not help but say to himself: If I had such a cute little sister, I would take her out to play everyday. After all, at fourteen years old, he was still very much a child, but the rough circumstances of his childhood had not given him many opportunities for fun and play.

Then, Ji Xiaofu noticed that Jian Jie and the other wounded visitors had not received any treatment yet. Unwilling to jump the queue, she said, ”They arrived earlier than I, so you had better attend to them first. I am already feeling much better.”
