Hearing this, Qin Chuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He quickly stood up to stop Ye Wenxi's next move.

He had promised his stepmother to take good care of Ye Wenxi.

But how could this be considered taking care of her?

Qin Chuan looked embarrassed,

"I need to go to the restroom, you guys chat."

Finding an excuse, he hurriedly left the contentious place.

But he didn't know that at the moment he stood up, a hint of disappointment flashed visibly across Ye Wenxi's face.

"It seems, Brother Qin Chuan doesn't want you to be that kind of sister to him," Su Qian continued to tease.

"It's all your fault, you little minx. You have a boyfriend and still flirt with my brother. You're such a flirt."

Unable to contain her frustration, Ye Wenxi reached out to Su Qian's waist, tickling her.

Su Qian was tickled and laughed heartily, and started tickling Ye Wenxi back.

While she tickled, she added teasingly, "I've told you, my boyfriend is no good. In the future, I'll have an affair with your brother, hehe, just to annoy you."

"You little minx, you asked for it."

As Su Qian's best friend, Ye Wenxi knew Su Qian's weak spots well and directly grabbed her soft bust, kneading it vigorously.

"Mmm~~~"

Su Qian let out a soft moan, her expression visibly dazed as if a certain switch had been flipped.

"Brother Qin Chuan, you're squeezing me so comfortably; I want more…"

Rather than resisting, Su Qian moaned and called out Qin Chuan's name.

This irritated Ye Wenxi, and she pinched harder, causing Su Qian some pain.

"Ah!"

Su Qian cried out in pain and gave Ye Wenxi a resentful look, "It's swollen."

"Serves you right!" Ye Wenxi huffed angrily.

Su Qian gave a sly smile, "Then I'll go find Brother Qin Chuan to rub it for me."

"You little minx, go away!"

Ye Wenxi cursed resentfully.

When Qin Chuan came out of the restroom, she immediately whisked him away, as if afraid Su Qian would steal him.

"Brother Qin Chuan, this is my number. Remember to add me on WeChat, okay? Sister has lots to chat with you about."

Before leaving, Su Qian secretly slipped a note to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan gave a wry smile, feeling like the note was burning hot.

Soon after, he and Ye Wenxi arrived downstairs together.

During the walk, neither of them spoke.

It wasn't until they passed a sportswear shop that Ye Wenxi spoke up: "Let's buy you some clothes, or it'll be hard to explain to Mom. Besides, the one you're wearing is torn."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan nodded and followed Ye Wenxi into the shop.

"How about we go to another store?" Qin Chuan took a furtive glance at the price tags, each item costing two to three hundred, and felt it was unnecessary.

"Sit tight and don't move. I'll pick for you."

Ye Wenxi didn't give Qin Chuan a chance to refuse, quickly selecting several pieces and indicating for him to try them on.

Qin Chuan had no choice but to comply.

Soon, he reappeared before Ye Wenxi in the new clothes.

Upon seeing him, Ye Wenxi's eyes lit up, feeling a faint flutter in her heart.

The Qin Chuan before her seemed less rustic and more handsome.

For the first time, she felt that the country bumpkin she always teased actually looked quite dashing.

Together with Qin Chuan's eight-pack physique,

wearing these clothes,

he looked even more spirited,

just like a walking clothes rack.

Next, noticing Qin Chuan's old shoes, Ye Wenxi took it upon herself to choose a new pair of sneakers for him.

Seeing the ensemble she had put together for Qin Chuan, Ye Wenxi's face was filled with satisfaction.

"Wenxi, maybe we shouldn't. These clothes and shoes are too expensive," Qin Chuan hesitated.

"This is my gift to you; you must accept it, or I'll get angry and never speak to you again."

Ye Wenxi put on a stern face and threatened.

Qin Chuan smiled wryly but had no choice but to accept.

Afterward, they took a taxi home.

However, just as Qin Chuan was about to enter, Ye Wenxi pulled at the corner of his shirt from behind.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Chuan turned and looked at her, then realized and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Aunt Mei about today."

"What I want to say isn't about that matter."

Ye Wenxi shook her head gently and then carefully said to Qin Chuan, "Brother Qin Chuan, could you... could you try not to get too close to Su Qian?"

"Oh oh oh..."

Qin Chuan nodded blankly, "I'm not familiar with her. I probably won't see her again in the future."

"That's not it. Su Qian is very good at seducing guys."

Ye Wenxi pouted, complaining, "She doesn't seem like she's joking today; she will definitely try to seduce you."

Qin Chuan heard this and couldn't help but smile wryly, "The problem is, I can't stop her."

"An-anyway, you mustn't let her seduce you."

Ye Wenxi was a little anxious, "What she can help you with, I... I can too."

"Hmm?"

Qin Chuan was taken aback.

Before he could react, Ye Wenxi hurriedly opened the door and hid in her room.

Qin Chuan scratched his head, feeling utterly perplexed.

"Forget it, focusing on important matters is more pressing."

Then, Qin Chuan returned to his room and took out the two parchment books once more.

He had already familiarized himself with "Nine Dragon Creation Skill" last night.

Now, Qin Chuan wanted to look at "Human Emperor Medical Canon."

It seemed like it should be related to medical practices.

Coincidentally, the university major his stepmother arranged for him was in clinical medicine.

Having multiple skills under his belt isn't a bad thing.

Perhaps, in the future, he could work in a big hospital or maybe even open a small clinic.

These are all good paths.

With this thought, Qin Chuan started to earnestly go through the Medical Canon in his hands.

The Medical Canon recorded many long-lost traditional Chinese medical techniques.

The most classic among them were the Nine Lives Mysterious Needle and the Healing Technique.

One treats through acupuncture, and the other through talismans.

Each has its strengths, one healing visible illnesses and the other healing invisible ones.

Qin Chuan was quite engrossed, reading until the evening, when Ye Wenxi knocked on his door, interrupting his study.

"Traditional Chinese medicine is indeed vast and profound. It's a pity that so many of its techniques and classics have been lost to time."

Qin Chuan sighed a few words and then put away the two parchment books, opening the door to let Ye Wenxi in. "Wenxi, what's up?"

"Zhu Jifeng messaged me, saying the people from Red Dragon Association are looking for you everywhere."

Ye Wenxi said worriedly; Zhu Jifeng also had another sentence, asking her to hand over Qin Chuan.

But Qin Chuan had offended the people of Red Dragon Association to protect her, so how could she hand him over?

"Try not to go out these days. I'm afraid the people from Red Dragon Association will harm you," Ye Wenxi continued.

"It's okay, I can handle it," Qin Chuan said calmly.

With "Nine Dragon Creation Skill" and "Human Emperor Medical Canon" in hand, Qin Chuan now felt quite confident.

At worst, he could find a place to hide for a year or two, and once he mastered his skills, it would be their doomsday.

As long as Red Dragon Association doesn't provoke him, it's fine. But if they push him too far, he doesn't mind giving them a hard time.

"Be careful. I don't want to just find a brother and then have you leave again."

Ye Wenxi suddenly hugged Qin Chuan, her small head resting on his chest, very worried.

Qin Chuan gently stroked her hair, "I won't leave. I promised Aunt Mei that I'd take good care of you all."

"Okay."

Ye Wenxi, like a child, gently nodded and then realized their posture was a bit intimate.

But she didn't pull away immediately; instead, she indulged herself by snuggling against Qin Chuan's chest.

For some reason, Qin Chuan's embrace made her feel inexplicably at ease.

Just like at the KTV, when he appeared like a god descending from heaven, holding her in his arms.

Very reassuring, almost intoxicating.

But soon, she noticed something was wrong.

It seemed like something was poking her.

Ye Wenxi instinctively looked down and immediately spotted the culprit, "Brother Qin Chuan, why are you hard again?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a pretty blush spread across Ye Wenxi's face.

Qin Chuan heard this and felt so embarrassed he wanted to find a hole to hide in, "Wen... Wenxi, I'm sorry, I... sigh..."

"Silly brother, I'm not blaming you."

Ye Wenxi pouted her little lips, then slowly squatted in front of him, looking up at him, "Brother Qin Chuan, can I help you with my mouth?"
