Dandy Pill God-Chapter 26 Warmth

After leaving the room, Zhu Fei couldn’t hide the unsightly look on his face.

He had never expected that his rare act of kindness would end up with such treatment.

At this moment, he stood by the living room window, opened it, and looked at the gradually whitening dawn sky, breathing in the cold and "damp" air. The frustration he had been feeling finally began to fade away.

Zhu Fei stood there, not knowing how much time had passed...

When he came back to his senses, he suddenly remembered that the woman Qiu Ruoxue had been left in the room by him earlier, and he wondered if by now she might have been frozen stiff.

With that thought in mind, Zhu Fei let out a sigh and eventually made his way back to his own room.

Although Qiu Ruoxue’s reaction had infuriated Zhu Fei before, by now, after this time, she must have suffered quite a bit.

Indeed, when Zhu Fei pushed open the door to his room once more.

Qiu Ruoxue’s complexion was already pallid and purple, and her delicate body was shaking subconsciously. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Helpless because her acupoints were sealed, she couldn’t move at all, so at this moment she could only lie there, bearing the cold of the dawn.

Seeing this, Zhu Fei didn’t continue to trouble her but went straight to Qiu Ruoxue’s side, rapidly pressing several points on her body.

Then he picked up the blanket and covered Qiu Ruoxue again.

It wasn’t until that moment that Qiu Ruoxue’s previously tense body finally began to relax.

She clutched the blanket and looked up at Zhu Fei, saying, "Zhu Fei, I’m sorry, I misjudged you just now."

"Oh, is that so?"

Zhu Fei smiled and shook his head, "Let bygones be bygones. There’s nothing much to say about that. Just remember not to drink so much in the future."

Now that things had come to this, Zhu Fei really didn’t need to keep holding onto the past issue.

He then pointed at the other hand that Qiu Ruoxue hid under the blanket and said, "If you trust me, give me your hand."

Qiu Ruoxue was startled, then bit her lip and slowly extended her previously dislocated hand from under the blanket toward Zhu Fei, saying, "Zhu Fei, thank you, really."

She paused for a moment, and then continued, "If it weren’t for you last night, by now I would probably..."

She didn’t continue her words.

But from her speech and expression, Zhu Fei already understood her meaning.

He smiled again, already grabbing Qiu Ruoxue’s dislocated wrist as he spoke.

"As long as you know. Be more careful next time. If the same thing happens again, you might not be so lucky."

"Crack—"

As he spoke, Zhu Fei suddenly exerted force and instantly popped Qiu Ruoxue’s dislocated wrist back into place.

Given such immense pain, Qiu Ruoxue merely furrowed her brows slightly without uttering a sound of agony.

This couldn’t help but earn her a glance of admiration from Zhu Fei.

"Mhm, I understand. Something like this won’t happen again."

Qiu Ruoxue’s face suddenly turned somewhat embarrassed as she looked at Zhu Fei, her beautiful eyes conveying a plea.

"Uh, Zhu Fei, could you please step outside for a moment? I... I want to get dressed. Oh, and my coat from before?"

Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxue’s words, Zhu Fei nodded and, without saying anything, went to the bathroom to fetch the coat Qiu Ruoxue had worn earlier, then threw it to her.

Watching Zhu Fei’s retreating back, Qiu Ruoxue was momentarily stunned with the coat he had thrown to her.

The coat had clearly been washed by Zhu Fei earlier, and still carried the scent of laundry detergent on it.

For some reason, Qiu Ruoxue felt a warmth she hadn’t experienced for a long time well up in her heart at that moment.

She wasn’t a fool, and naturally noticed that her body had been ’carefully’ wiped by someone before.

Recalling how Zhu Fei might have been taking care of her with a bitter expression on his face, ’carefully’ cleaning the clothes she had dirtied herself, Qiu Ruoxue’s lips almost unconsciously began to curve into a faint smile.

Although she wasn’t good at expressing her emotions or speaking her mind, this didn’t mean she didn’t know how to be grateful.

She wouldn’t wear all her emotions on her sleeve or reveal all her thoughts like many women do.

Neither would she, like some self-proclaimed noble women, make a fuss over someone having taken advantage of her, even when they had actually helped or saved her.

These were things Qiu Ruoxue disdained to do, and she wouldn’t do them.

For those who had truly helped her, Qiu Ruoxue would deeply engrave that gratitude in her heart and wait for a proper opportunity to repay them in kind.

...

About a moment later, when Qiu Ruoxue had gotten dressed and opened the door to come into the living room, she found Zhu Fei had already laid out breakfast on the table at some point.

The breakfast could not be considered lavish, but it wasn’t poor either.

There were two bowls of preserved egg and lean pork congee, along with two boxes of tofu pudding, and some steamed buns and bread rolls, all relatively light foods.

Seeing Qiu Ruoxue coming out, Zhu Fei smiled at her and said, "I’m not sure what you normally like for breakfast, but I thought, after you drank so much last night, it would be better to have something lighter for breakfast."

Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, something inside Qiu Ruoxue seemed to be gently touched, causing her usually calm heart to quiver sharply for a moment.

She moved slowly to the table, her cool eyes looking at Zhu Fei, and then suddenly, she smiled faintly.

"Mm, Zhu Fei, thank you. I really like the breakfast; you went to a lot of trouble."

Saying this, Qiu Ruoxue didn’t stand on ceremony with Zhu Fei but directly picked up the chopsticks and began eating the breakfast.

After all, she had thrown up the night before, and by now, she was quite hungry, so the way she ate was not demure like some women pretending to be ladylike; it was somewhat quick instead.

In fact, as a police officer, Qiu Ruoxue was often under tremendous pressure of time when handling cases, so naturally, she didn’t fuss too much over something like eating.

...

Some time later, when both Zhu Fei and Qiu Ruoxue had put down their chopsticks, it was already broad daylight outside.

Zhu Fei pondered for a moment before finally asking Qiu Ruoxue, "About that case you mentioned to me yesterday afternoon, what exactly is going on? And do you know about the Martial Artist?"

Startled by Zhu Fei’s question, Qiu Ruoxue paused before nodding and saying:

"Yes, that case is somewhat complicated. It involves a peculiar Murderer, and all their targets are beautiful young women. The appearance of the victims in death is also filled with many oddities."

"Our police force has already lost several colleagues at the hands of this peculiar Murderer. I suspect that the Murderer is very likely a Martial Artist."

At this, Qiu Ruoxue looked up at Zhu Fei and continued, "As for what you mentioned about the Martial Artist, of course, I’m aware of it because some of my grandfather’s subordinates were Martial Artists."
