Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Drowning Person



A while ago, Xia Liu had fitted a roof over the open-air bathhouse, and today he bought some wires and lights and had them installed within minutes.

For days he had been squatting outside the bathhouse, and it was tough on him.

However, even with the lights installed, it was useless; Zhang Xiaoxue still made him wait outside.

It was incredibly awkward; it seemed that in the future, when building a house, a bathroom inside the room was a must, or else he couldn't live this way.

Listening to the pattering sound of water, Xia Liu slowly adjusted his breathing and invoked the Five Elements Mantra to clear the restlessness in his heart.

"Ah! There's a mouse!" Just then, Zhang Xiaoxue, who was bathing inside, screamed sharply, accompanied by the sound of something being hit.

Xia Liu didn't think twice and rushed into the bathhouse, "Xiaoxue, don't be afraid, where is the mouse..."

He hadn't finished his sentence when something soft bumped into him: "Brother Xia Liu, I'm sorry."

Uh, what?

Just as Xia Liu felt confused, Zhang Xiaoxue spoke softly, "There's no mouse. I made it up to get you to come in."

Upon hearing 'on purpose', Xia Liu shuddered, and then Zhang Xiaoxue pulled him, "Brother Xia Liu, I don't care about marrying a good family; I'm sticking with you for life."

Xia Liu wasn't listening to what Zhang Xiaoxue was saying; his entire focus was on the white expanse before him.

The flat abdomen without a trace of fat, those pliable slender waists capable of being encircled by the hands, the jade-like skin, and undoubtedly the most blindingly bright were the swaying and criminally deep abysses.

He was stunned. At that moment, he couldn't utter a word; all he had in his mind were a few words: "So white! So slender!"

Seeing that Xia Liu was staring at her continuously, Zhang Xiaoxue flaunted a brilliant smile, knowing well that she could mesmerize Xia Liu.

"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry." After snapping out of it, Xia Liu quickly withdrew his hand and turned around.

On one hand, to avoid Zhang Xiaoxue and on the other, to manage his embarrassment...

Zhang Xiaoxue was not having it, and as Xia Liu turned around, she stepped forward and hugged him, "Brother Xia Liu, I want to be your bride, whether you love me or not. If you have a wife out there, then I will be your mistress, wholeheartedly your mistress."

"Xiaoxue, don't get carried away, I don't have a wife yet," Xia Liu hastened to clarify, but the softness at his back still unsettled him.

He struggled to control himself, determined not to hurt this innocent girl.

"So, Brother Xia Liu agrees to have me," Zhang Xiaoxue exclaimed excitedly. If it weren't for the damp surroundings, she would have pinned Xia Liu down.

"Pfft! Xiaoxue, you finish your bath first, I'm heading out!" Xia Liu said and quickly ran out of the bathhouse, knowing that if he stayed a few more seconds, he would definitely take things further with her; such a place and scene couldn't possibly end well.

Watching Xia Liu's escape, Zhang Xiaoxue giggled for a while, then quickly finished up her shower.

When she stepped out of the bathhouse dressed in pajamas, Xia Liu was awkwardly squatting on the ground smoking.

"Brother Xia Liu, you bathe too, I'll wait for you in the room." Zhang Xiaoxue, twenty-two this year, hadn't dated before but knew a thing or two about men and women. She had just confessed, and surely something must happen next.

"Xiaoxue, you go to sleep, I need to go out and check the conditions at sea," Xia Liu said with a bitter smile, and without waiting for Zhang Xiaoxue to nod, he ran out the door.

This left Zhang Xiaoxue somewhat disheartened, but thankfully, Xia Liu didn't outright reject her. Perhaps he was shy and not ready to face her too soon...

"Beast! Beast!" As he walked, Xia Liu constantly cursed himself, for he had rejected the easy prey presented to him and didn't even understand his own thoughts anymore.

"Brother, I'm sorry for you. Don't be sad. I promise to satisfy you next time." Xia Liu murmured with his head down.

Xia Liu couldn't go back as long as Zhang Xiaoxue was still awake; he feared he couldn't control himself.

Xia Liu was actually very afraid, afraid that he couldn't give happiness to Zhang Xiaoxue and that following him might put her in danger.

If it weren't for some reasons, he would have gone mad much earlier, not waiting for Zhang Xiaoxue to take the initiative; he would have pounced on her.

Wandering around, Xia Liu arrived at the coast. He would avoid talking about Zhang Xiaoxue if he could, or be honest about it if he couldn't. If she didn't see sense, then he'd have to accept her.

Just as Xia Liu was about to light a cigarette, he suddenly heard a peculiar sound, as if someone was slapping the water with their hands.

"Help! Mmm..." Soon after, a cry for help followed.

With keen eyes, Xia Liu scanned the surrounding sea area and indeed saw some splashes. Without thinking, he ran into the water.

In less than twenty seconds, he had rescued the drowning person.

This was somewhat surprising to Xia Liu; the person who had almost drowned was Zhang Qing!

The situation was somewhat awkward now. Zhang Qing was only wearing her underwear, the homely kind.

Under the bright moon, Xia Liu could see everything very clearly, from the lace fabric of the undergarments to the expanses of white and large.

However, there was no time for him to think about other things. When he rescued Zhang Qing, she was already unconscious.

Xia Liu quickly pressed his hands together, performing emergency resuscitation in the most standard way while also intermittently breathing air into Zhang Qing's mouth.

A few minutes later, Zhang Qing suddenly opened her eyes and then coughed violently, spitting out a lot of water.

Having walked a round at the Ghost Gate, Zhang Qing felt Xia Liu's warmth and suddenly hugged him, "Wuu, Xia Liu, I almost died, it was so terrifying!"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you." Xia Liu comforted her, patting her shoulder.

After comforting her for a while, Zhang Qing finally calmed down, but she was still scared and held onto Xia Liu's hand, refusing to let go.

"Xia Liu, don't call me sister-in-law anymore, call me Sister Zhang instead. I am only a few years older than you." Zhang Qing, recalling Xia Liu's earlier address, felt very uneasy.

"Uh, uh, uh, Sister Zhang, why are you here in the water so late at night?" It was almost midnight, and Zhang Qing's incident puzzled Xia Liu greatly.

"I heard about your oyster buying, so I wanted to make more money, but I can't swim, so I thought to come and learn." Zhang Qing said somewhat awkwardly.

So that was it, Xia Liu couldn't help but give a bitter smile. If he hadn't arrived in time, he might have indirectly caused Zhang Qing's death.

"Xia Liu, could you teach me to swim..."

"Sure, I was just thinking the same thing!" Before Zhang Qing could finish, Xia Liu interrupted, concerned that she couldn't swim; after all, Zhang Xiaoxue said this girl was notoriously stubborn. If she didn't learn tonight, she would definitely come back secretly tomorrow night to learn.

It was fine for her to learn in the shallow area, but if she ventured out of it without anyone else around, the outcome could be disastrous.

However, what Xia Liu didn't foresee was that the upcoming lessons would turn into...
