Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Shen Qiubai had a feeling as if he was in another world. Last night's dream was too real, as if it had really happened. The haggard and sad Xia Qingqing in the dream made him feel distressed.

In fact, he didn't dare to admit that he had a strange feeling for Xia Qingqing in his dream.

That's why, after Xia Qingqing's death, he refused all approaches from the opposite sex and lived alone for the rest of his life.

He felt ashamed of himself for having such thoughts, but he also felt a little bit of anticipation. He had never had such complicated emotions before, so much so that now he didn't know how to face Xia Qingqing.

"Director Shen!"

Xia Qingqing's voice interrupted Shen Qiubai's reverie. His face turned red and he said seriously, "Hello!"

"Xiaoyu and Tieniu went to the store to buy egg cakes. They will be back soon!"

Shen Qiubai explained that he thought Xia Qingqing was looking for her brother.

Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "I came here specially to see you."

Shen Qiubai's heart, which had just calmed down, started beating faster and faster because of these words. He was glad that Xia Qingqing was far away and couldn't hear his heartbeat.

"Cough cough..."

Shen Qiubai's throat was itchy again, so he quickly took the cup and drank some water to hide his inner uneasiness.

Xia Qingqing felt that he was acting strange today, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She didn't think much about it and took out a glass bottle from her bag, which contained 30 light brown pills.

After unscrewing the lid, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out, and Shen Qiubai was immediately refreshed. He felt a little dizzy due to insomnia last night, but after smelling the medicinal fragrance, his mind immediately became clear and his headache was gone.

"Director Shen, my grandfather used to be the doctor at Houde Hall. He has excellent medical skills. I learned some from him. I think I can cure your illness."

Xia Qingqing placed the medicine bottle on the desk. She didn't say anything definite, but she was about 80% sure.

"Did you make this pill?"

Shen Qiubai's heart beat faster. For some reason, he believed what Xia Qingqing said. This girl might really be able to cure him.

But in the dream, he was never able to return to the army until his death.

Xia Qingqing nodded, "I made this to help you recover. Your lungs are badly damaged. Once I find some good herbs, I can cure you!"

She found this treatment method in the medical records left in the space. The jade plate contained all the medical records and notes of the Xia family in the past five hundred years, as well as the ancient medical books collected by the ancestors of the Xia family. All of them were condensed in the jade plate and poured into Xia Qingqing's head.

She almost racked her brains before she found a medical case similar to Shen Qiubai's.

Although the ancestor of the Xia family had excellent medical skills, ever since a kind-hearted fool almost caused the extinction of the entire Xia family, the Xia family left the capital and practiced medicine among the people, staying away from the center of power.

In a certain dynasty, there was a prince who was diagnosed with tuberculosis. Not only could he not inherit the throne, but he could hardly even survive. In ancient times, tuberculosis was a terminal illness.

The prince was very unwilling to accept this, so he found the ancestor of the Xia family, visited him three times, and tried his best to persuade him. He also offered him countless gold, silver and treasures, but all failed to impress the ancestor of the Xia family. He said that he did not want to be involved in the fight among the princes.

But this prince was very shameless. He came to the door every day and was particularly insidious. He used the tactic of first courtesy and then force. He would send gifts first, and if the gifts were not accepted, he would threaten the ancestor of the Xia family. If he did not agree, he would send troops to destroy the entire Xia family.

Helplessly, the ancestor of the Xia family agreed, but asked the prince to promise that after becoming emperor, he would not force the Xia family to enter the palace to serve as imperial physicians. After that, the ancestor of the Xia family racked his brains and prepared a lung-nourishing dew. The prince recovered with the help of the lung-nourishing dew and successfully succeeded to the throne.

When Xia Qingqing saw this medical case, she knew that Shen Qiubai could be saved. However, the lung-nourishing dew required three medicinal ingredients that were not available in the pharmacy. Mr. Ba said that the space would reward her, but she had to study hard and make obvious progress before she could get the reward.

Shen Qiubai opened the medicine bottle, took out a pill, and asked, "How do you take this? Swallow it directly?"

“Just eat it directly.”

As soon as Xia Qingqing finished speaking, Shen Qiubai stuffed the pill into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it like he was eating mousse.

"It tastes good, much better than the medicine prescribed by the doctor."

Shen Qiubai took a sip of water and praised generously.

Xia Qingqing was stunned and couldn't help but scolded: "You are too credulous. You put anything into your mouth. What if I gave you poison? You should have taken it to a doctor for examination!"

With such vigilance, how did you manage to work in the army?

Shen Qiubai smiled. His jade-like face was originally as cold as a snow mountain, but this smile was like melting ice and snow, and spring rain. Xia Qingqing looked at him for a long time without realizing it. When she came to her senses, she quickly turned her head away, a blush on her face.

How could a man smile so seductively? In her previous life, she had never realized that Shen Qiubai was so handsome. Such a handsome face must be accompanied by a strong body. She must cure Shen Qiubai.

"You won't hurt me!"

Shen Qiubai's tone was firm. Whether it was Xia Qingqing in his dream or in reality, he had an inexplicable sense of trust.

Xia Qingqing's face became hot again. She glanced at him secretly and saw Shen Qiubai's perfect profile. Her face became even hotter. Suddenly, her eyes met Shen Qiubai's. There was a smile in his eyes, which scared her so much that she quickly turned her head away.

"It's so dull today, it might rain soon!"

In order to hide her inner panic, Xia Qingqing kept fanning her hands. She really felt stuffy. There were only her and Shen Qiubai in the room, and the air felt awkward.

The smile in Shen Qiubai's eyes deepened. The way this girl was caught when she secretly glanced at him just now looked like a little girl who was caught stealing candy. She was inexplicably cute. In fact, this girl was only 20 years old. She was not very old, but she had experienced so much.

He thought of Xia Qingqing's tragic death in his dream again, and his heart ached. He couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Xiaoyu go to school?"

"No, no school is willing to accept you."

Xia Qingqing frowned. She asked several schools, but all of them refused to accept Xiaoyu. The school leaders said that it would affect other children's schooling. She asked about special schools, but unfortunately she couldn't find a suitable one. She could only teach Xiaoyu to read and count by herself, but with little success.

"I'll go and help find out if there's a suitable school."

Shen Qiubai blurted out and was stunned after he finished speaking. In fact, he was a very cold-hearted person. Even if someone he didn't care about died in front of him, he would not feel anything, and it was even more impossible for him to take the initiative to help.

But he wanted to help Xia Qingqing. If Xiaoyu could learn to be independent, maybe this girl would live an easier life?

The smile on her face will be brighter, right?

Xia Qingqing was stunned for a few seconds, then said happily: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. I can't guarantee it!"

Although Shen Qiubai said this, he was thinking in his heart that he had to find a suitable school for Xiaoyu no matter what, even if he had to use the Shen family's name to "bully others", he had to get this done.

"Brother, I'll give you some chocolate!"

Shi Tieniu pushed the door open, holding a bag of colorful chocolate beans in his hand. He started shouting as soon as he entered the room, but he didn't see Xia Qingqing.
