Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 408: Longing for Love (22)

"Why are you here? Don't you have to study and practice today?" Xiangliu asked curiously.

In order to let her study, her father quit his favorite job and came back to open a private school.

Usually, she was either learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting from her father, or studying with several puppets at home, or practicing with her mother; there was no time for her to play.

Moreover, on the night his father resigned, he discovered that Xiaoyao had become even more stupid, had shrunk a lot, and had no cultivation at all. Only his origin was still there, but it had been sealed.

But, this has nothing to do with him, but it is also good for her, isn't it? However, Xiang Liu is the treasure of his parents, and she, Xiao Yao, does not get as much favor as she does.

Xiangliu was just thinking about these in his mind. He would not be so foolish as to say them out loud. However, Ji Xiao and Fu Shiqi knew Xiangliu's little thoughts. After all, he had raised him for hundreds of years.

After hundreds of years of living together, they could detect his slightest emotional changes, but what could they do? They could only pamper their own child.

"Brother, my parents gave me a day off today to rest. There are too many people in the clinic, so my dad kicked me out." Xiaoyao put her hands behind her back, and the two buns on her head and the hairpins were shaking, which was very cute.

Then, as if she remembered something, she reached out and pulled Xiangliu's sleeve, smiled flatteringly and said to him: "Brother, can you teach me how to carve?"

"No." Xiang Liu refused without thinking, but after seeing her depressed mood, he continued: "If you really want to learn, you can tell Dad and let him teach you! Dad and Mom know all these. And as long as you want to learn, you can learn it after telling them, as long as you can persist."

"Then I'll tell Dad when I get home tonight."

In an instant, Xiaoyao's expression became bright again. She was not afraid! Now her memory is very good, and in order to train her, Ji Xiao often lets her practice both hands and consciousness at the same time, picking beans.

Over the past month, she has made great progress, although her spiritual consciousness cannot yet penetrate the hole of a needle very well, but it will be soon.

"Well, Dad will agree. And when someone comes in later, you go and entertain them." Xiangliu put the freshly carved puppet in the cabinet.

"But I can't!"

"You can't learn slowly! No one can do it right from the beginning."

"Okay! I'll try my best."

"Well, come on! Brother is rooting for you!" Xiangliu gave him some halfhearted and perfunctory encouragement, then returned to his work area to continue his creation.

After Xiaoyao received Xiangliu's encouragement, he was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, "I will study hard, brother, just concentrate on doing your work!"

However, since then, no one has walked into the store.

Xiaoyao also calmed down from the initial excitement of preparing to do a great job, and was gradually replaced by loss and boredom.

Xiaoyao lay listlessly on the counter, watching the passers-by coming and going outside with boredom.

But this made her feel even more bored, and finally she even started counting the number of people passing by outside.

Every person who passed by became an object for her to pass the time. She silently counted their number, observed their expressions, voices, and the speed of their pace.

As time went on, she observed more and more carefully, and even guessed whether a person was in a good mood or not through their behavior and expressions.

Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she started to practice, sitting at the counter and circulating her magic power. Before that, she had always practiced sitting upright in a quiet atmosphere at home.

Now, in order to kill the boring time, she slowly tried to practice in this noisy yet quiet place.

She was not stupid. She did not start practicing right away. She tried to circulate her magic power bit by bit.

In this way, Xiaoyao stayed in the store with Xiangliu for a whole day, until the clinic opposite closed and Ji Xiao and the others were about to go home. Xiaoyao then closed the door and went to find them with Xiangliu.

On the way home, Xiao Yao kept chattering all the way and told them that he could now make the magic power in his body run on its own.

After returning home, Ji Xiao helped her check it out. After finding no problems, she told Xiao Yao the content of the next stage of training.

After dinner and routine daily communication, Ji Xiao and Fu Shiqi sent the two back to their room to rest.

The next day, after the morning rest, Fu Shiqi, Ji Xiao and their family of four went out together after having breakfast prepared by Xiao Hong.

As usual, Fu Shiqi sent Ji Xiao to the clinic first, and then he took Xiao Yao to the private school.

Xiangliu didn't want to open the door today, so he stayed in the clinic to help. Now Ji Xiao was the only doctor in the clinic.

Ji Xiao had just given instructions to the two patients and asked someone to get some medicine while he took a break.

A man hurriedly ran in from the door, with his hands on his knees, panting. He wanted to say something but couldn't because he was too tired.

Seeing this, Xiao Hong asked someone to help him to the side, and then asked, "Is there something urgent, young master?"

"Huh... yes, huh~ My wife is about to give birth, I came to find a doctor to help my wife deliver the baby, huh~"

"Okay, wait a moment, we can grab our things and go." Xiao Hong looked at his condition and asked, "Or you can tell me your home address, we'll go there first and you can follow behind."

"Oh, ok, my home is..." The man, who had not yet recovered from the shock, quickly told Xiaohong his home address.

After knowing the address, she went to pick up the medicine box that Ji Xiao usually used, and then walked to Ji Xiao who was already waiting.

At this time, the person who just came in from outside asked: "Doctor Ji has left, who will treat us next?"

Ji Xiao explained: "My son Xiangliu also knows medical skills. He will be seeing patients today."

"It's not that we don't trust your son, but we haven't seen him sitting in a clinic! Isn't he doing the sculpture across the street?"

"It's okay, it's just his hobby. His medical skills are pretty good. If he doesn't understand, he will go next door and ask his father to come over to see you."

"Okay then! Then doctor, you guys should hurry over as well!"

"Ah."

After Ji Xiao took Xiaohong away from the clinic for a distance, she disappeared and teleported with Xiaohong to the entrance of the alley where the man’s house was.

"Xiaohong, lead the way!"

Hearing this, Xiaohong picked up the medicine box and walked towards the alley with Ji Xiao. After entering the alley, they arrived at the door of the house soon.

Xiaohong looked up at the door number and confirmed that this was the place, so she went forward and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

Not long after, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and at the same time, an old woman asked, "Here you are, who is it?"

Then, the door in front of them was opened from the inside.
