Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Yan Ci looked at the wound on his palm, which looked like a earthworm crawling there, winding and ugly.

She asked tentatively, "Will you always be this ugly from now on?"

Chu He laughed, "No, wait for a while until the wound heals, and then I'll come and remove the stitches for you. It will look better then."

Hearing that it wouldn't be as ugly as it is now, Yan Ci felt a little relieved.

Leaving a scar is already a last resort, and if it is such an ugly scar, I will feel very uncomfortable looking at it every day.

What's more, although she didn't care much about beauty or ugliness, Yan Ci should care. After borrowing someone's body, he would not return it with a defective product.

Chu He re-bandaged Yan Ci's hand, reminded him of some precautions, and then packed up to go back.

At this time, Xie Chengyin came into the room with hot water and poured the hot water on the basin rack in a bad mood.

"Old man Chu, the hot water you requested."

Chu He, who had already put on his medicine box and was ready to go out, looked at the steaming water and looked embarrassed for a moment.

He just ordered Xie Chengyin to fetch water, and now that the person has brought it back he has done nothing to use it. This lie is too fake.

Seeing Xie Chengyin's somewhat gloomy face, Chu He grinned, calmly placed the medicine box on the table, then walked to the basin, rolled up his sleeves, put his hands in it and washed them thoroughly.

"The water that the Second Young Master has drawn is just the right temperature."

After washing his hands and carrying the medicine box on his back, Chu He bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

Xie Chengyin's gloomy expression did not improve and he did not say a word. When Chu He saw this, he left in a hurry without staying any longer.

He used the hot water and cured the patient, but it seemed that the Second Young Master was not very happy.

This second young master has always been moody, so it's better for him not to provoke him. Thinking of this, he walked away faster.

After Chu He left, only Xie Chengyin and Yan Ci were left in the room. Yan Ci was sitting and Xie Chengyin was standing.

After a long while, Xie Chengyin said, "I will ask someone to find some scar-removing medicine, and try to reduce the scars on your hands."

Yan Ci raised his head and glanced at Xie Chengyin, "Yes, thank you."

The two were silent again.

At this time, Liu Xi walked in from the door, knelt down and saluted, "Sir, Miss Yan, Miss Qiu is here and wants to see Miss Yan. She is already sitting in the front hall."

Xie Chengyin said: "Okay, I understand, you can go down."

Liu Xi bowed and retreated.

Yan Ci looked at Xie Chengyin curiously, "How did Miss Qiu know that I was here with you?"

"It's a long story, let's talk about it as we go."

Yan Ci nodded, glanced into the inner room, and seeing that the person lying inside didn't move at all, he stood up and followed Xie Chengyin.

When they were about to reach the front hall, Yan Ci learned from Xie Chengyin that he and Qiu Fuqiu were going out for a day trip. He was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.

"You mean Yan Ci and Qiu Fuqiu went out shopping together, and Qiu Fuqiu noticed something was wrong. What do you think? Can't you accompany Yan Ci when they go shopping?"

Xie Chengyin frowned, "I didn't know it wasn't you. Besides, I felt very uncomfortable at the time. I thought you and Qiu Fuqiu had such a good relationship, maybe you would be fine if you just went out. Who knew there would be such a mess."

Yan Ci sighed, knowing that it was useless to blame Xie Chengyin now. She just had to know where she and Qiu Fuqiu went, what they did and said that day, so as not to be exposed when she met Qiu Fuqiu.

"Do you know where we went that day?"

Xie Chengyin shook his head. "Qiu Fuqiu didn't say much. There is a flower crown in my study that Qiu Fuqiu gave you. I don't know anything else."

"Well, we'll just have to adapt to the situation."

Try to calm Qiu Fuqiu's suspicion. After all, no one would think that she is two different people because of her abnormality. They would just think that it is a sudden change in her character.

Qiu Fuqiu sat in the front hall drinking tea boredly, glancing towards the door from time to time.

She went back and thought about it, but still felt something was wrong. She had too many questions in her mind. She had to ask Yan Ci in person, otherwise she might not be able to sleep at night.

When the cup of tea was almost finished, Yan Ci and Xie Chengyin came into the front hall one after another.

Qiu Fuqiu immediately stood up and walked towards Yan Ci, "Ah Ci, I have something to ask you."

Seeing Xie Chengyin standing behind Yan Ci, she stopped talking and said, "Xie Chengyin, go out first."

Xie Chengyin's eyes widened immediately, "Why did you ask me to leave? Is there anything I cannot listen to?"

Qiu Fuqiu rolled her eyes at Xie Chengyin and said, "Why do you want to listen to us girls' private conversations? Go away."

Yan Ci looked at Xie Chengyin and gave him a reassuring look. Xie Chengyin then pretended to be angry and walked out of the door, and at the same time dismissed the maids and servants at the door to give the two people inside enough space.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Qiu Fuqiu pulled Yan Ci to sit down.

She didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Aci, are you okay?"

Yan Ci was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly, "I'm fine, why are you asking?"

Qiu Fuqiu hesitated for a moment, then looked into Yan Ci's frank and sincere eyes. The sense of familiarity made her put aside her worries.

She held Yan Ci's uninjured hand and said, "We are good sisters. I will speak directly. I felt that you were very different when we went out today. Whether it was the way you spoke, acted, or liked something, I felt that you were very strange. Not only me, but my mother also felt that something was wrong. I wondered if you had encountered something. I asked Xie Chengyin, but that guy didn't tell me anything. That's why I came to ask you if you have any unspeakable secrets."

When Yan Ci heard Qiu Fuqiu's frank words, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. She hadn't heard such words for a long time.

After she was reborn, everyone she met kept three-tenths of their words to herself, and the remaining four and a half tenths were true and half false. Qiu Fuqiu was the only one who said whatever was in her mind.

Maybe he really treated her as a close friend, so even if he noticed that she was acting strangely, he chose to talk about the issue openly instead of silently suppressing the estrangement in his heart.

Yan Ci smiled and patted the back of Qiu Fuqiu's hand, "Do you still feel that I am a stranger now?"

These words made Qiu Fuqiu slightly stunned. She looked at the two people's clasped hands, and then at the two people sitting together with their knees touching each other's intimate appearance. The Yan Ci in front of her did not seem so strange anymore.

She shook her head. "I think you are the person I know now, but..."

"No buts." Yan Ci interrupted Qiu Fuqiu's words, "Yan Ci is Qiu Fuqiu's friend, and he will always be. Maybe sometimes you feel that I am a little strange, that may be because you haven't seen the other side of me. People are multifaceted, and so am I. It's just that I am still me. If you spend more time with me, maybe you will like me as well."

She didn't want to lie to Qiu Fuqiu to hide her abnormality, but she couldn't tell Qiu Fuqiu the truth about her identity, so she could only choose to explain it to Qiu Fuqiu in another way.
