Qiao Shi Shi was amused by Professor Qiao Feng's sullen expression. She held Grandma Liu's arm and said, "Grandma Liu, that Old Man Zhang you mentioned is a quack. His fortune-telling, talismans, and elixirs are all lies. Professor Qiao Feng is a real Chinese medicine teacher. He's different!"
"Oh, oh, oh! So that's how it is. Alright, as long as Shi Shi likes it, "Grandma Liu said with a peaceful smile.
Qiao Shi Shi nodded instinctively. Then, she realized something was wrong. She quickly shook her head and said, "What are you talking about, Grandma Liu? What's there to like? "
Qiao Shi Shi's pretty face began to blush. She looked extremely adorable under the sunset glow. Grandma Liu patted Qiao Shi Shi's hand and looked at Qiao Feng with a smile. "Teacher Qiao Feng, you're really lucky. Shi Shi has been renting a house here for more than a year, and I've never seen her bring anyone home, not even a female classmate … But today, she brought you home, a male teacher. I've heard that times have changed. Wouldn't a teacher be arrested for dating a student?"
Grandma Liu looked at Qin Feng worriedly. Qin Feng and Qiao Shi Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Grandma Liu, you can call me Qiao Feng. Now that the world has changed, even grandfathers and granddaughters don't care, let alone a teacher and a student."
Grandma Liu's expression changed drastically. She quickly took two steps back and looked at Qin Feng cautiously. "How can you do this? Then … Are you interested in Grandma Liu? "
The corner of Qiao Feng's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. Grandma Liu suddenly laughed. She grabbed Qiao Shi Shi's hand and placed it in Qin Feng's big hand. "Haha, Grandma Liu is joking with you. Look at how scared you are. Even if you like Grandma Liu, she won't like you. I can't remember your face. I can't recognize you on the street."
Qin Feng had the urge to turn around and leave. But when he remembered that he was still holding Qiao Shi Shi's soft hand, he decided to bear with it for a while.
Grandma Liu continued, "Little Feng, Shi Shi is a good girl. She's diligent and thrifty. She's kind-hearted. You have to treat her well. Otherwise, Grandma Liu won't like it."
Qiao Shi Shi's hand was so soft that it felt like it was boneless. Qin Feng shamelessly grabbed her hand and refused to let go. The blush on Qiao Shi Shi's face deepened. She tried to break free from Qin Feng's grip, but when she saw Grandma Liu's happy and satisfied expression, she stopped herself.
"Don't worry Grandma Liu, I'll take good care of Shishi," Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Grandma has high hopes for you two. Then you two go into the house and enjoy yourselves. Grandma is going out to do square dancing. Many old men are waiting for me!" Grandma Liu looked at the two of them meaningfully, then walked out of the courtyard with a smile.
Whoosh!
As soon as Grandma Liu left, Qiao Shi Shi shook off Qin Feng's hand and stormed into the room angrily. Qin Feng felt a little guilty and followed them in.
Qiao Shi Shi's bedroom was small, but it was clean and tidy. The room was filled with a faint fragrance that smelled like Qiao Shi Shi.
When Qin Feng entered the room, he felt as if he had returned to the ancient times. Qiao Shi Shi's room was devoid of modern household appliances. There was no television, refrigerator, washing machine, gas stove, or microwave oven. There was a small stove in the corner with some firewood beside it. Qin Feng guessed that Qiao Shi Shi used the stove to cook and bathe every day.
"Take a seat. I hope you don't mind my poor family." Qiao Shi Shi didn't mind the shabbiness of her room. She took a pot of tea and placed it on the small stove to boil the water.
Qiao Shi Shi squatted on the floor with her buttocks facing Qin Feng. She was concentrating on lighting the stove. Qin Feng looked at Qiao Shi Shi's back and felt a little restless. He quickly regained his composure and went to help Qiao Shi Shi start the fire.
"Shi Shi, let me help you." Qin Feng took the matchbox from Qiao Shi Shi's hand and started the fire. Qiao Shi Shi's body was pressed against Qin Feng's, so she felt a little uncomfortable. She got up and went to sit on her clean bed.
The setting sun shone through the window and shone on Qiao Shi Shi's body, painting her with a pink hue.
Qiao Shi Shi sat quietly on the bed with her head lowered. She was lost in her thoughts, and her figure gradually became transparent like the air.
As a hedonistic young master, Qin Feng was tormented to death by starting a fire. When he finally lit the stove, his face was covered with ashes.
"You asked me about the poultry just now. I can tell you that I summoned them. I've been able to communicate with animals since I was young. I told others about this when I was very young, but they didn't believe me. They laughed at me and distanced themselves from me. After that, I didn't tell anyone. I hid this secret in my heart and didn't tell anyone!"
Qiao Shi Shi was still sitting on the bed. She seemed to be talking to herself. Her head was lowered, and no one could see her expression.
Qin Feng had already started a fire. He pulled over a small stool and sat by the stove: "So you really can communicate with animals. I believe you, you're really too amazing. This kind of ability is very magical, even I want to have it."
Qin Fen's reaction was out of Qiao Shi Shi's expectation. She thought Qin Fen would be frightened by her ability. She thought he would cry and point at her, calling her a monster, just like her childhood friends did. However, Qin Feng was not afraid. Instead, he admired her ability. Could it be a way for him to pick up girls?
"Are you telling the truth?" Qiao Shi Shi raised her head and looked at Qin Feng with uncertainty.
She had been a loner since she was young and rarely interacted with others. However, Qiao Shi Shi could read people's eyes and read their thoughts.
"Of course it's true. I'm very envious of your ability to communicate with animals. You can even control their minds and make them fight for you. It's cool just thinking about it."
Qin Feng looked at Qiao Shi Shi seriously. Qiao Shi Shi could see the sincerity in Qin Feng's eyes. He was telling the truth.
Qiao Shi Shi was inexplicably happy. She did not have any friends. It was not that she did not want to make friends, but she was afraid of being hurt by her friends. However, Qiao Feng seemed to be different from others. Qiao Shi Shi wanted to befriend him because she was too lonely.
"Professor Qiao Feng, your Chinese medicine skills are amazing. I've only seen two people who can use the Needle Manipulation Technique. One is you, and the other is …" Qiao Shi Shi paused, and a complicated expression appeared on her face.
She suddenly thought of Qin Feng. She was angry and worried at the same time.
Qin Feng had taken advantage of Qiao Shi Shi, but he had also saved her life. Qiao Shi Shi did not know how to face Qin Feng again. If it was possible, Qiao Shi Shi hoped that she would never see him again. She wanted this to be a sealed secret.
"Who is the other person? Are you familiar with him? " Qin Feng was eager to know how important Qin Feng was in Qiao Shi Shi's heart.
Qiao Shi Shi shook her head and lowered her head again, "Let's not talk about him. We are not familiar with each other."
Qin Feng was slightly disappointed, but he quickly became happy. Qiao Shi Shi did not have a good impression of Qin Feng, but she still had a good impression of Qiao Feng.
"Shi Shi, are you born with the ability to communicate with animals? How do you communicate with them? Can I learn it? " Qin Feng's interest was piqued. He felt that Qiao Shi Shi's summoning ability was too powerful. If he could learn it, he would become even more powerful.
Qiao Shi Shi raised her head again. When she mentioned the summoning ability, Qiao Shi Shi's beautiful eyes shone brightly. Regardless of what others thought of Qiao Shi Shi's summoning ability, she was very fond of it.
"I was born with this ability. Every time I communicate with animals, I can calm down and not think about anything else. It's as if the world has quieted down, and there are only me and the animals left. At that time, I can hear their whispers and become part of their living world. I can talk to them, and they like me very much. We are good friends …
"As for whether you can learn this ability or not, I'm not sure. But if you want to learn, I'll be happy to teach you."
Of course, Qin Feng was happy to learn. He immediately ran to Qiao Shi Shi's side and sat down.
Qiao Shi Shi was startled. This was the first time a man entered her room and sat on her bed. Qiao Shi Shi couldn't get used to it.
"What's wrong? T-then I'll stand and learn! " Qin Feng was also startled by Qiao Shi Shi's action. He seemed to understand Qiao Shi Shi's concerns, so he stood aside.
After Qiao Shi Shi regained her composure, she felt a little guilty. Teacher Qiao Feng was able to accept her strange ability and was willing to stand up for her when she was in danger. But now, he just sat on her bed, and you're making a fuss out of nothing?
"I-It's fine, Teacher Qiao Feng. T-please sit down. It's tiring to stand up."
Qiao Shi Shi carefully sat back on the bed. Her hands clutched the hem of her clothes nervously. Qin Feng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down next to Qiao Shi Shi. There were still a few centimeters between them. Their bodies weren't touching, but from a distance, it looked like they were leaning against each other.
Qin Feng smelled the fragrance from Qiao Shi Shi's body and enjoyed it very much. Qiao Shi Shi sensed a man's scent in the room. It made her feel uncomfortable, and her little heart thumped non-stop.
"Shi Shi, are you feeling hot? Do you want me to help you take off your coat?" Qin Feng looked at Qiao Shi Shi with a smile. Qiao Shi Shi was startled. She quickly waved her hands, "Ah? I-I'm not hot. I'll teach you how to feel the sounds of nature. "
Qiao Shi Shi didn't dare to take off her coat. She lived a hard life. She didn't even wear a sweater or thermal underwear under her cotton-padded jacket. She only wore a white camisole. It would be very awkward if she took off her coat.
Of course, Qin Feng wouldn't take off Qiao Shi Shi's coat. He wanted to leave a good impression on Qiao Shi Shi. Qin Feng hastily sat up and said, "Alright, let's begin!"
Qiao Shi Shi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Qiao Feng had calmed down. She looked at Qiao Feng and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Pfft!
Qiao Shi Shi rarely laughed, but today, it was as if she had laughed all the time she had in the past year. Qin Feng was lost in thought as he looked at her smiling face that was as beautiful as a blooming lotus.
"Shi Shi, what's wrong? Are you laughing at me? "Qin Feng looked at Qiao Shi Shi in puzzlement after he regained his senses.
Qiao Shi Shi covered her mouth and tried to stop laughing, but her thin shoulders were still trembling.
"Haha! Professor Qiao Feng, your face is covered with pot dust. You look like a dirty cat! "Qiao Shi Shi laughed so hard that she couldn't catch her breath. Qin Feng finally knew why she was laughing.
Qin Feng had always thought that a girl like Qiao Shi Shi would be difficult to get along with, let alone make her laugh. However, after spending some time with her, Qin Feng realized that he was gravely mistaken. Qiao Shi Shi didn't have any friends, and she didn't have a childhood. Therefore, she wasn't funny at all.
"Haha, I must have gotten it when I started the fire. I've made a fool of myself in front of you. I'm going to wipe it with water. Where's your mirror?" Qin Feng was inexplicably happy when he saw Qiao Shi Shi was so happy.
