C70 (1/2)

Nangong Waner who had just woken up, sat on his bed and worked on it for a long time before completely recovering from the dream.

Seeing that it was almost time, Nangong Waner mustered his courage and started to dress himself.

Nangong Wan'er focused on putting on her makeup in the mirror. After an hour of painting, Nangong Wan'er couldn't help but read out loud, ”Am I a dead man with too much makeup …?” ”It's a bit more realistic. If I didn't say anything, I would have thought I was dead.” After she finished speaking, Nangong Wan'er felt a chill down her spine.

No, no, this is too much like a dead person. I'm just seriously ill, it's too fake.” Nangong Wan'er took off a layer of makeup and lightly started painting again. She was satisfied with the work, so she nodded in the mirror, ”Hmm, it's so natural.” Nangong Wan'er began to hum a little tune as she drew, she was really proud of her craftsmanship.

After calculating the time, which had been greatly delayed by the makeup, Nangong Waner sped up. The upper half of his body was wrapped in the thickest quilt as he drank the scalding hot water, and the lower half of his body was submerged in the scalding hot water to soak in the bath. Nangong Waner touched his body's temperature and it slowly rose. He quickly put on his clothes and ran towards the bamboo forest study room.

The girl who was running around excitedly just now didn't seem to be her. The moment Nangong Waner stepped into the courtyard of the bamboo forest's study, she immediately collapsed. From far away, Nangong Waner could only see Elder Xiu sitting at the study table with his eyes closed.

”Master, your face is so pale. Is it because your body isn't well?” Seeing that Elder Xiu's face was indeed pale, Nangong Waner could not help but ask.

Hearing Nangong Waner's words, Elder Xiu lifted his eyelids and looked at Nangong Waner, ”This makeup looks very familiar,”, Elder Xiu could not help but scold.

Nangong Waner suddenly realized that he had started wrong again, and immediately pretended to be weak. ”Master, I opened the window to sleep last night and I'm afraid I must have caught a cold. Right now, my body is feeling really uncomfortable, ahem …” After he finished speaking, Nangong Waner suddenly realised that he had slept through the open window. Why was the window closed this morning? However, she didn't have the time to think about this right now.

Elder Xiu still had her serious and old-fashioned expression, and her voice did not contain even a hint of concern, ”I didn't notice that your body was injured, tell me, how did your body feel?”

Nangong Waner was ecstatic, he thought that it would be fun if he continued to act weakly while trembling and saying, ”My whole body is weak, my body is hot, I have no appetite. Although Master wants to teach you a lesson, my body is useless, you might have heard that my health has been bad since I was young. It is often said outside that I am desperate to live or die. Ah, master, I won't hide it from you, they are really … Cough cough … It's all true... Master, it seems to me that we really aren't fated to be teachers and students. My body will probably have to return to the residence to rest for a while. ” After saying that, Nangong Waner tried really hard to squeeze out a tear of sympathy for himself but to no avail.

Hearing Nangong Waner's words, Elder Xiu frowned, his old face twitched uncontrollably and he looked at Nangong Waner without saying a word.

Just as Nangong Waner's feet were hurting, Elder Xiu slowly stood up, ”Give me your hand.” Elder Xiu said in a serious tone.

Nangong Waner thought, this old man was truly ungrateful, she thought that the Elder Xiu would knock her on the ruler again, the hand that was just extended, was about to take it back, but it was too late, the Elder Xiu moved extremely quickly, and took her pulse?

Nangong Waner was startled, what ability did Elder Xiu have? What about the promised literary majors? They were not interested in studying literature, and they even had to work part-time as doctors?
