Umamusume

When Qingxuan slowly woke up, the three girls looked at him differently. That indescribable gratitude was enough to make them unconsciously increase their favorability towards him.

Chapter 135 Master

Qingxuan walked over slowly, took the towel from Qicao's hand, squatted down next to Suzuka, and used the towel to dry the moisture from her feet.

Qingxuan: "It will be a little painful, bear with it."

Suzuka: “Okay.”

During this time, Suzuka could look down at Qingxuan's serious expression. What a gentle man he was, tall, strong and handsome. He mastered many mysterious skills and was also famous for his work as a trainer.

Then I took the gauze and wrapped it around her heel and arch, keeping her feet clean while retaining the medicinal properties. I wrapped it with gauze until it was like a sock, tied a beautiful bow, and then cut it off. Do the same with the other foot.

Today we will mainly focus on caring for the sole area of the foot to strengthen the muscles and bones. Since the deformation of the bones cannot be changed by external force, we will first consolidate the part that should be strengthened. Even if we use the Dream Card to help her change the cause and effect of the comminuted fracture of the calcaneus, it can also be understood as a therapeutic effect.

Xiao Te: "Hey, where's the remaining medicine?"

Qing Xuan stood up and said, "Heat up the liquid medicine again at 8 o'clock in the evening and soak Suzuka once. You should have learned this, right?"

Xiao Te: “Okay!”

Qingxuan: "Where is the bathroom?"

Suzuka pointed in a direction and Qingxuan walked over slowly.

Qi Cao walked over and looked at Suzuka's feet, which were bandaged very carefully by her man.

Gas Trough: "Feeling better?"

Suzuka just lowered her head and said nothing. How could it work so quickly? But it did feel much better than before.

Suzuka: "It feels warm and a lot more comfortable than before. It's not so stiff anymore, and it doesn't hurt as easily when I turn my foot."

Xiao Te hugged Suzuka from behind. No matter she was happy or depressed, Xiao Te would stay by her side so that she could continue to persevere and keep a stable mentality.

Suzuka: "Thank you, Xiaote."

Xiao Te: "We should thank Trainer Qing Xuan."

Qi Cao blinked and said nothing. Although he was stating a fact, he felt a little sad in his heart. Perhaps it was because he was too deeply in love with her. He seemed to feel a little sense of crisis about Qingxuan's gentleness towards Suzuka.

But, I was the one who entrusted this matter to Qingxuan, how could this happen?

After Qing Xuan came out of the bathroom, he said, "Then let's go back first. I will probably come over in the morning tomorrow because I have some classes in the afternoon."

Suzuka: "Mr. Kitamura, aren't you going to stay for dinner?"

Xiao Te: "Yes, Trainer Qingxuan, let's go back after dinner?"

Qingxuan glanced at the gas tank, who shrugged, indicating that it was up to him to decide.

Qing Xuan: "Okay, have you prepared the ingredients? Why don't I make some Huaguo-style dishes for you to try."

Xiao Te: "Hey, you are a guest, how can I let you cook dinner?"

Suzuka: "Mr. Beigong, how can we handle this? Let Xiaote come."

Qing Xuan: "Haha, let's put it this way, I will only be responsible for cooking two dishes, and I won't take over other tasks."

Qi Groove: "Okay, then I'll chat with Suzuka for a while, and I'll leave dinner to you guys."

That was settled. Xiao Te quickly ran to the kitchen to wash today's ingredients, while Qing Xuan looked in the refrigerator.

Then he glanced at Xiao Te who was washing the ingredients in a somewhat hurried manner, especially the carrots and potatoes, which were all washed together, and he was obviously a little nervous.

When it came to peeling the skin, my hands were shaking a little. After all, there was a man next to me, and I was alone in the kitchen. This was my first experience.

"Special Week, are you nervous?"

"Ha, ah, no."

"Be careful, you can't hold the kitchen knife properly, it's hard to use force."

"Well, what should we do?"

Qingxuan reached out and took the kitchen knife from her hand. Their fingers touched, and Te Zhou's face suddenly turned red.

Qingxuan pretended not to notice the change in her expression. Instead, he pressed the back of the knife with his thumb and the blade with his index finger, and picked up the potato to peel it as flexibly and easily as peeling an apple.

Zhou was particularly dazzled by the sight of her chef-level knife skills, which were a delight to the eyes. She even needed to use a peeler or hold a kitchen knife to scrape out the layers of angular potatoes and carrots. It was like watching a god perform the operation.

"Ah, so skillful, can you use a kitchen knife like this? You're amazing! You're more skillful than me using a fruit knife... Trainer Qingxuan, are you also a chef?"

"I just cook for fun. Practice makes perfect. As long as you master the correct techniques and keep practicing, you can do it too."

"Really? Can I, too?"

Qingxuan nodded seriously, but his hands did not stop. In just a few minutes, Qingxuan had finished washing, picking, shredding and setting aside the vegetables.

Particularly Zhou Yi looked ashamed: "I agreed to cook, hahahaha."

"It doesn't matter. It's the same if you finish it earlier. Did you learn how to hold the knife just now?"

Qingxuan said as he handed the kitchen knife to Te Bie Zhou.

Te Bie Zhou took it nervously, and his fingers trembled as he imitated Qing Xuan's gestures.

Qing Xuan smiled and used his hands to help her shape it: "Like this, press your thumb here, use your index finger to assist, and fine-tune it. You can flip it like this. Don't use too much force, otherwise your fingers and tiger's mouth will be sore. Just hold it just right..."

Teji Zhou’s brain was a bit overloaded. He finally fixed the gestures, but he was too nervous and used too much force, so his fingers turned white.

"Don't be nervous, just experience it slowly."

"Okay, okay, Master!"

"Uh, ha, give it a try."

Qingxuan picked up the last potato that was specially left for her.

Te Bie Zhou recalled Qing Xuan's technique just now, and then it was really as easy as peeling an apple. He cut at a V-angle to scrape out the bumpy skin and mud.

Until he manually peeled a potato that was not very angular. Although it took two minutes to finish one, Zhou's eyes lit up with emotion and he felt a great sense of accomplishment!

“So beautiful.”

"Just learn slowly, and you can get faster and faster in the future."

"Well, how about shredding? I see you cutting it so quickly, aren't you afraid of cutting your hand? It scares me to death."

Then, Qingxuan smiled and stood behind her, teaching her step by step how to cut potatoes on the chopping board.

It started slowly, then gradually picked up speed.

So close!

Te Te Zhou's eyes were shining and his face was red to his ears, but he could not resist this double joy.

On the one hand, she was learning cooking knife skills, and on the other hand, the man behind her was teaching her techniques. Even the temperature of his breath was absorbed by her hair and neck.

"Well, thank you, Master."

"Then call me Master from now on. After all, Trainer Qingxuan is too distant. I can continue to teach you other skills later."

"Uh, okay, okay, Master... Then, you can just call me... Xiao Te..."

As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and he became extremely shy.

Chapter 136 Double Healing

While Qingxuan and Tebuzhou were teaching enthusiastically in the kitchen, Qicao and Suzuka were chatting about some trivial matters in the living room.

Suzuka is not a gossipy person, but she is very curious about how Qicao and Qingxuan got to know each other and how they could have such a tacit understanding like close friends.

After all, even though Umamusume was innocent and naive, she was still sensitive as a girl and could naturally see the seductive look in Qicao's eyes when she looked at Qingxuan. Qingxuan was also very natural with her, as if they were indistinguishable from each other, and there was no sense of distance between men and women at all.

"Suzuka, I first met Trainer Qingxuan before the Gaoyue Award this year, probably around March. At that time, I heard about his achievements, and President Emperor gave him a high evaluation. At that time, I was a little unconvinced..."

"Then, before and after the Gaoyue Sho, he showed an attitude that was a bit infuriating. I don't know why, but I was just annoyed with him at the time. It wasn't until Beibu Xuanju defeated Daiming that I realized how excellent he was and that the president's praise was not for nothing."

"After that, my mother asked me to contact him, wanting to invite him to join the Dana family as a consultant to improve the training environment. As a result, he actually proposed a bet agreement to my mother, and the result would be decided in the Japan-Benz Derby..."

Suzuka listened to Qicao's story, however, she knew that she had overlooked some details. After all, her transformation was too great. How could she become more than just a friend in just a few months?

Although Suzuka didn't know to what extent the relationship between Qicao and Qingxuan had developed, she could clearly feel that Qicao liked Qingxuan. This was not appreciation or admiration, but real feelings.

——Then... is it really appropriate to accept Mr. Beigong's treatment? Will it not cause trouble to the Qi tank?

Suzuka seemed to be thinking about something, while Qicao briefly talked about the past between him and Qingxuan, only mentioning osmanthus and plum blossoms, and the few times they had eaten together, but nothing else...

Suzuka suddenly smiled and interrupted Qi Cao's story.

"Empress, you like Mr. Beigong, right?"

"Eh? What are you, Suzuka, talking about?"

"This reaction is absolutely correct. Ever since I was injured, I have been in a relatively quiet state, and I am more sensitive to everyone's expressions and movements. When you mentioned Mr. Beigong, the light in your eyes could not be hidden from me."

"Is it……"

Qicao scratched his head embarrassedly and his face turned red.

"It's nothing. If you like it, just grasp it. Don't leave any regrets. After all, we are going to have a family in the future. Now that you have a goal, don't hesitate, Queen."

Suzuka's words were very calm. With the relationship between Qicao and Qingxuan, Suzuka's affection for Qingxuan also increased slightly. After all, he was the love target of his good friend, and he was trying his best to treat his injuries, so naturally he was not so distant from her.

"Well, you're the best. You're good at the game, and now you're so sharp at reading people's hearts."

"The Empress is confused by the situation, hmm."

Suzuka then changed the subject and said, "By the way, Queen, has Mr. Beigong confirmed that he will join your Dana family?"

"He is just a consultant, not a member. Qingxuan is so powerful now, but his fame is not what it used to be. We can't monopolize him."

"Hehe, Qingxuan? Can I already address Mr. Beigong in such an intimate way?"

"Oops...haha, I made a slip of the tongue, don't worry about it."

"Okay, I'll just believe it for now, Queen, keep up the good work, Mr. Beigong should be very popular..."

However, this time, before Suzuka finished speaking, Kikuo interrupted her and said helplessly, "Just as the reputation of Trainer Qingxuan is getting more and more famous, it is impossible for me to completely control him. I can like him, but won't the horse girls he is in charge of like him?"

Suzuka was quite shocked. When did this empress who never gave up actually show her cowardly side?

"I understand, Queen, as long as you feel that you have done your best, nothing can be forced. Then we all have to work hard. You have to pursue happiness, and I just hope to run again."

"Suzuka, you will get better. I believe in you, just as I believe that Trainer Qingxuan can heal you."

"Well, okay! Thank you, Empress. If it weren't for your insistence, I might not want to bother with it anymore. Mr. Beigong is my last hope. Thank you for all your efforts for me."

"We are friends, stop being so polite and stop saying discouraging things."

"Um……"

Te Te Zhou came out with a plate of delicious food, walked to the dining table, and said loudly: "It's time to eat, Suzuka, the Queen."

Qi Cao and the Empress looked at each other and felt the positive atmosphere that they had not felt for a long time. The previous gloom seemed to have been swept away after Qingxuan's arrival.

Even Zhou Teji seems to have not said such energetic words for a long time...

All thanks to Qingxuan, everything seems to be getting better.

Everyone sat together, looking at the six dishes and one soup on the table. The similarity in color, aroma and taste made Suzuka and Qicao recognizable at a glance. In the end, Qingxuan was asked to be the chef. With Zhou's special cooking skills, how could he possibly make other dishes?

Putting the soup bowl on the dining table is the eating habit of Hua country. The three girls also found it quite new. When they wanted to drink, they could just fill a bowl without having to run to the kitchen to get a scoop.

Gas tank: "Not bad!"

Xiao Te: "It's delicious!"

Suzuka: “Delicious!”

The three girls all looked at Qingxuan who was drinking the soup slowly, as if they felt that there was nothing this man could not do.

Qingxuan: "If it tastes good, eat more. I don't know how much you eat, so if it's not enough, please bear with me."

Xiao Te: "It was enough to eat, but the chef made it so delicious!"

Qi Trough & Suzuka: "Master!?"

Xiao Te: "Well, the master taught me a lot of skills just now. My cooking skills will definitely get better in the future. Suzuka, you don't have to worry about me making bad food anymore, hehe."

Suzuka: "That's great. Then, let's thank Mr. Kitamiya together. Thank you for making such a delicious meal and saving my taste buds."

Xiao Te: "Ha, Suzuka, this is a bit too much, sad... But it's delicious! Thank you... Master..."
