Unexpectedly, Xiao Gong was extremely resolute on this matter.

"No, you could have just stood by and watched. After I was injured, you not only carried me to save people, but also helped me make fireworks. I will always remember this great kindness."

The two smiled at each other.

Su Chen felt that this was a good opportunity to get closer to each other, so he said: "After this incident, we are no longer strangers. From now on, I will call you 'Xiaogong sister' and you call me 'Su Chen', how about it?"

Xiao Gong's heart skipped a beat at Su Chen's suggestion, and her eyes flashed with surprise and approval. "That's great! I'm not used to speaking honorifics to others, so it's really helpful that you can say that!"

"Then, Su...Su Chen, I will take Master Zhengsheng to treat him now. See you next time!"

Xiao Gong's tone was a little awkward as he tried to adapt to this new way of addressing her, and at the same time, he also revealed a hint of reluctance.

Then, she turned around and left with Master Zhengsheng. Her steps were firm, but she did not forget to turn back and wave to Su Chen, leaving behind a back that looked forward to seeing him again.

Yingmei looked at Xiaogong's receding back, then turned to look at Su Chen, her eyes full of mischief and curiosity. "Brother Chen, tell me the truth, did you do anything else in the dungeon?"

Facing Yingmei's teasing, Su Chen retorted innocently and a little helplessly: "No! Why do you miss me so much? Xiaogong sister said that I only helped her heal her wounds, and did nothing else."

Yingmei thought about it over and over again, but still felt that something was not right.

Just because of such a small thing, Brother Chen and Miss Xiaogong became such good friends?

She was not as eloquent as Su Chen, and she couldn't think of anything to refute.

"God's Mouth" Paimon expressed the doubts in Yingmei's mind.

"Aren't you a healer? Why do you only heal Xiao Gong and ignore that Master Zheng Sheng?"

Looking at the two pairs of eyes staring at him, Su Chen sighed sadly.

"Yingmei, Paimon, I thought you two were the ones who understood me the most, but I didn't expect... Alas."

"What, what's wrong?"

Paimon didn't expect things to turn out like this, and couldn't help but panic, "Did I say something wrong?"

"It's ok that Paimon is young and ignorant, but don't you even understand Yingmei?"

Yingmei was at a loss.

What should she understand?

Doctors are here to save people from danger and distress, and Paimon didn't say anything wrong!

Su Chen turned his head away in confusion, with a righteous look on his face.

Yingmei was about to turn around to comfort him when she heard him say, "I, Su Chen, have always only treated women, and never healed the wounds of the same sex. No matter how badly a man is injured, it has nothing to do with me. Only the scars of beautiful girls can be deeply rooted in my heart!"

Yeah, yeah, yeah…

Crows flew through the sky, and three black lines ran down the foreheads of Yingmei and Paimon.

Is this the reason? I thought it was such a great reason!

Yingmei tried to endure it again and again, but finally she couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother Su Chen, you..."

Paimeng seemed to have something to say. She pointed at Su Chen, her eyes full of distrust and accusation.

"Well, Su Chen, you finally revealed your true nature, didn't you? I was wondering why you always helped girls heal their wounds. So this is the reason. I misjudged you!"

Paimon's tone was full of disappointment and anger, and her eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if she could see through all of Su Chen's secrets.

"Traveler, let's go and ignore this pervert!"

Paimon eagerly pulled Yingmei's hand, with a hint of escape in his voice.

However, Yingmei couldn't bear it. Her eyes were gentle, and her voice was full of trust and understanding for Su Chen: "I believe Brother Chen must have his own reasons for doing this..."

"Traveler, you have been deceived too deeply by him. Now that he has confessed himself, why are you still so stubborn?"

Paimon was almost gritting her teeth, her voice full of urgency and anxiety, as if she was really worried and disappointed for Yingmei.

Paimon was so disappointed in Yingmei that she surrounded the traveler and kept repeating in a tone that was almost like chanting, trying to make Yingmei face the reality. Her expression was tense and her movements were excited, just like an anxious little teacher trying to correct her student's mistakes.

The expression on Su Chen's face changed, and he said seriously: "Traveler, Paimon."

He suddenly became so serious that both Yingmei and Paimon were shocked.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Paimon was afraid that he would suddenly say something shocking again, so he looked at him tremblingly.

"Actually, everything I said just now was a lie. I didn't treat Master Zhengsheng's injuries because of the curse on me."

"A witch once told me not to get close to you. But I wanted to help you so badly that I didn't obey her instructions and came to your side resolutely."

When Yingmei heard this, she became anxious.

"Brother Chen, she didn't do anything to you, did she? I'm so sorry that you suffered so much because of me and Paimon..."

Su Chen slowly wiped away the non-existent tears on his face.

"It's okay. For you, any punishment, no matter how hard or tiring, is worth it."

"What kind of punishment is that? Tell me now!"

Although Paimeng didn't believe Su Chen's lies at all, he couldn't resist Yingmei's love for Su Chen, so he decided to get to the bottom of it.

"That witch said that I had violated a taboo. From now on, I can only heal girls. If I violate this rule, I will die without a burial place."

Su Chen's performance was so vivid that Yingmei believed it to be true.

"So that's how it is, Brother Chen, we misunderstood you, we're so sorry."

Paimon pouted.

She didn't want to apologize. It was obvious that Su Chen was talking nonsense!

Only travelers are so stupid that after falling in love, they can no longer distinguish right from wrong.

Seeing that Paimeng was unwilling to speak, Yingmei said anxiously: "Paimeng, you should apologize too. We can't hurt Brother Chen's heart."

Paimeng flew to Su Chen with a wronged look on his face and spoke reluctantly.

"Okay. Su Chen, I said something wrong. Please be magnanimous and forgive me."

Su Chen patted his chest generously and said, "Since you have apologized sincerely, I will forgive you with reluctance. Paimeng, you must correct your mistakes in the future and stop being disrespectful to me."

Paimon stomped his feet in the air angrily.

"Damn it! You big bad bastard, I shouldn't have apologized to you just now!"

The three of them were bickering as they headed towards Kamisato's house.

After sending the two people to the gate of Shenli Mansion, Su Chen wanted to leave, but he couldn't resist Yingmei's invitation, so he followed her in.

This is my second time visiting Kamisato Prefecture, and I can say that I am already familiar with the place.

Su Chen gently pushed open the door and was met by Kamisato Ayaka who came to greet him.

"Travelers, please go back——"

"……coming."

Kamisato Ayaka took a breath of cold air.

She didn't see clearly behind the screen before, but now, Su Chen's true appearance was clearly displayed in front of her, which surprised her.

She saw a handsome and cheerful young man standing in front of her. He had a handsome face and a hearty smile, which showed his eight big white teeth. Compared with him, Thomas was slightly inferior.

To be fair, Su Chen's appearance is more sunny. If Thomas is the cheerful boy next door, Su Chen is the dazzling sun in the sky. His handsome appearance is unforgettable, and you can tell at first glance that he is the type that many girls will pursue.

Kamisato Ayaka recalled her previous gaffe and coughed awkwardly.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to come, Mr. Su, so..."

Su Chen smiled generously, "This is not a mistake. But I came here uninvited, Miss Kamisato will not be unwelcome, right?"

………………

Chapter 552: Second Meeting with Kamisato Ayaka

"How could it be? Mr. Su's arrival has really brought glory to the Kamisato family."

After a few polite words, Su Chen followed Kamisato Ayaka into the house.

Thomas had a bad feeling when he heard the sound just now.

When he saw the real person, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly.

Sure enough, it was him again. I don’t know if he was thinking about his daughter, so he came to visit again and again.

Su Chen completely ignored Thomas's probing gaze, and sat on the futon as if he were at home. He said to Kamisato Ayaka, "Miss Kamisato, I was just sending Yingmei here, but Yingmei insisted that I must meet you, so I took the liberty to come and disturb you."

Kamisato Ayaka smiled gently, "Mr. Su, you helped in the rescue operation, right? It's only natural for you to be a guest here. Thomas, quickly serve Mr. Su a pot of the best tea."

Although Thomas responded respectfully with "Yes, Miss," he felt complicated and worried in his heart.

In his deep eyes, one could vaguely see a hint of a helpless sigh.

Faced with the scene before him, he couldn't help but worry secretly that Miss Xiao Gong seemed to be about to fall into the gentle trap of this young man.

Thomas was worried that once the young man achieved his goal, he would ruthlessly abandon Miss Xiaogong.

In Thomas's opinion, how could the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family easily get involved with a bad boy who was fickle and had erratic behavior?

Such thoughts made him feel extremely heavy, and he even began to worry about how he would explain and account for this relationship that should not have happened to the head of the family, Kamisato Ayato, in the future.

His loyalty and worries made Thomas seem extremely conflicted and helpless at this moment.

As a loyal servant of the Kamisato family, he is fully aware of his responsibilities and propriety, but he also has a deep concern for Miss Xiaomiya's happiness.

Su Chen was truly impressed at this moment. He had only casually mentioned that he was accompanying Yingmei to visit Inazuma, but he had not mentioned the details of what had just happened. However, Kamisato Ayaka was able to guess the clues so keenly, showing her wisdom and insight, which was really admirable.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, who is better, compared to the famous military strategist of Coral Palace on Haiqi Island?

At this time, Thomas also cleverly participated. He gently poured fragrant tea for Su Chen. There was a hint of mischief and challenge in his eyes, as if he intended to give Su Chen a difficult problem.

"Mr. Su, please have a drink. This is the most precious tea on Ming Shen Island. Except for a very small number of community officials, it is difficult for ordinary people to get it. If you have any unique feelings after tasting it, please feel free to let us know so that we can learn something from it."

Thomas' words were full of provocation, as if he was testing Su Chen's tea tasting ability and his understanding of Inazuma tea ceremony culture.

At first glance, Su Chen is just a poor boy who doesn't know the tea ceremony. Thomas intends to embarrass him in front of Kamisato Ayaka to reduce Ayaka's favorability towards him.

Who would have thought that Su Chen didn't care about his embarrassment and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Good tea, good tea! The taste of this tea is really wonderful, sweet in the mouth, and endless aftertaste. It's a pity that I haven't learned much about the tea ceremony. Let alone making tea, I'm not even familiar with tea tasting. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Miss Kamisato."

He had long discovered that Thomas was smiling but had a dagger hidden behind his smile, and he also knew from the way Thomas raised the teapot to make tea for him that if he put on airs today and pretended to know something he didn't, it would make Kamisato Ayaka feel disgusted, and it would be difficult to resolve the situation in the future.

It would be better to use the opponent's trick against him and just say a few pretentious words, use easy-to-understand clumsy tricks to make Kamisato Ayaka smile, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.

As he expected, Kamisato Ayaka's eyes lit up when she saw him drinking tea in such an unconventional way, and she couldn't help but praise him, "Mr. Su is generous and magnanimous, different from the upper-class people I have met. He is very suitable to be a friend."

"Ms. Shenli, thank you for your compliment. I just hope you won't laugh at me for being uneducated and crude."

Kamisato Ayaka gently waved her folding fan and smiled slightly.

"No, Mr. Su is even better than I expected. I am so happy. I hope you can come to my house more often in the future... Oh no, if you have anything to do, you can come to Mulou Teahouse to find me. It is more convenient to meet there."

"Well, in response to Miss Kamisato's kind invitation, I will drink first as a sign of respect."

Su Chen quickly poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

He had no idea of ​​the elegance of tea sets, nor the sophistication of the tea ceremony. Thomas couldn't help but frown at his bold attitude, but he couldn't say anything to mock him.

In fact, Thomas didn't understand that no matter how rude Su Chen's performance just now was, Kamisato Ayaka would not feel disgusted by it. Instead, she would appreciate him more and get closer to him.

Since their last meeting, Kamisato Ayaka has been thinking about Su Chen all the time. When she is handling official business, she always thinks about the conversation across the screen and the invitation to meet face to face next time.

She was extremely surprised by this unexpected encounter, so how could she do as Thomas wished and drive him away?

Paimeng and Yingmei haven't said much since they came in.

They looked at the duo of Kamisato and Su Chen who were enjoying their tea together warmly, and then at the depressed single bachelor Thomas, and they couldn't help laughing out loud.

Especially Paimon, he was almost rolling on the ground laughing.

Su Chen was often so angry that she couldn't speak. Today, she had the chance to see him bullying others, and then she realized that seeing him making people angry was such a happy thing. All the anger she had endured in the past was not in vain.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more warm, and Paimeng took the opportunity to talk about the conversation between Su Chen and her just now.

"...Then he told me to correct my mistakes and not to be disrespectful like before. Who does he think he is, to dare to treat me like this?! Even the travelers haven't said this to me. He is just a small Su Chen, huh..."
