AST 1820 - It’s difficult to be a gentleman (2/2)

When he was taking out the needles, it was not as simple as merely taking them out. Shen Huang didn’t think that Qing Shui would take advantage of her. If he had wanted to do it, he could have done it to her while she was unconscious. That would have been his most thorough way of doing it. Furthermore, she also wouldn’t have had the right to make any comments on it.

Hence, for now, Shen Huang believed that she was unable to see through this man. If he had been uninterested with her, he wouldn’t have had the nervous reaction and also looked at her with eyes filled with great admiration, which she was clearly able to see from him.

Hence, she felt that she didn’t really understand what kind of man this man was.

“Can you answer one question?” Shen Huang asked gently.

“Of course!”

“Has the thought of using that method to save me never once crossed your mind?” Shen Huang said softly after a moment of hesitation.

Qing Shui stared at Shen Huang and said, “It might not be too late to change do it now. Furthermore, I think doing it that way will feel even better.”

“Bastard… I am just trying to ask a question.” Shen Huang said with a slight contempt.

“I have thought about it for about a hundred times but then I stopped. If I continued on, I would have caused a beauty to pass away. Since I have decided to be a gentleman, I might as well go all the way. I know that you don’t want to share a man with other women. I already have my own wives and this is the one good thing which I have done after fighting against myself for a long time. Who would have thought that this was actually a mistake.” Qing Shui sighed while looking at Shen Huang.

Qing Shui noticed that the woman who just woke up had undergone some changes in personalities. She was no longer as mysterious as before. Back then, she used to be like the bright moon in the night sky, giving people the feeling that they could never reach her. But now, he came to realize that she had become more like a living human than ever before.

“Alright. Please take some rest. I will take my leave now.” Qing Shui took back his needles and was about to take his leave.

“I am hungry. Could you go make me some food?” Shen Huang slowly sat up.

Qing Shui had experienced too many surprising things today. For a moment, his brain was unable to process it. However, since the woman wanted it, he had no choice but to nod his head.

Qing Shui immediately took out some soups and vegetables from the realm. He also got some wine used for replenishing one’s body.

Because he was on her sofa bed, Qing Shui could only sit beside her. While he was preparing the ingredients, Shen Huang had already finished showering and changed into a plain cloth with a phoenix sewn on it.

The two were sitting very close to each other. It was almost as if their shoulders were touching each other.

“Thank you for saving me.” Shen Huang took up a wine cup and hinted that she was thankful to Qing Shui.

Qing Shui took up his wine cup and toasted with her, “You are welcome. Since we are friends, you don’t have to act so formally. It would make me feel less distant from you.”

“I treat you as my best friend. You have saved me twice today. Furthermore, you are also a fine man. Unfortunately, we met a little bit too late. Otherwise, I would have definitely fallen for you.” Shen Huang said slowly. She sounded very relaxed. As to what she was thinking, Qing Shui couldn’t clearly tell.

“Have you ever heard of a useless good person? Usually, being good won’t give you anything in return. A good person is bound to suffer losses at some point. In the future, I have made up my mind to stop becoming a good person. I regretted a lot being one this time. It’s indeed a waste.”
