novelxo Chapter 220
Zhou Ying was grinning from ear to ear. "Wow, you're really smart. You're already a smooth talker, how adorable."
She carried Duo Duo in her arms with joy and love.
Yun Muyu, who was standing at the side, just covered her laughter with her hands and rolled her eyes. Just wait till this ungrateful kid deceives you and we'll see if you still think that she's adorable.
"Brother, Duo Duo and you look so much alike. Look, her eyes and mouth look just like yours when you were little," said Zhou Ying with a smile on her face as she blinked her eyes.
Chu Feng just chuckled; he was proud of himself. "Of course, don't you know she is my daughter?"
"But Duo Duo is much kinder and more innocent compared to you." Zhou Ying snorted and without any mercy, she exposed Chu Feng's embarrassing moments when he was little. "She's not like you, who could only think of ways to cheat my pocket money to buy yourself junk food and toys. You were really naughty."
"Hmph, bad Daddy!" Duo Duo pouted her lips and followed suit as she started nagging Chu Feng. "Aunty is so beautiful, how could you have the heart to cheat her pocket money?"
Chu Feng burst into laughter and the girls in the room also started guffawing; the atmosphere in the room was lively.
Yun Muqing took a peek at Chu Feng and suddenly, she came to realize that the resemblance between Duo Duo and Chu Feng was just uncanny. Was this really just a coincidence?
Chu Feng poured a few cups of tea and then washed some fruits for them to eat. Zhou Ying and Yun Muqing were kind-hearted girls and they had outgoing personalities. Thus, the both of them clicked with each other easily and had grown close to one another.
When she heard about all those evil things which the Sun family had done and that Zhou Ying had broken up with Sun Mingxuan on their wedding day, the two of them slumped in sadness and compassion. Zhou Ying's eyes were also bloodshot and she was feeling a hint of dejection.
"Aunty, don't be sad anymore." Duo Duo brushed her small hands across Zhou Ying's face sensibly and as she blinked her eyes, she said, "I'll buy you milk tea, all right? You will forget everything after drinking a hot cup of milk tea."
Zhou Ying felt so touched and she carried Duo Duo in her arms. She then said in an affectionate tone, "You're really a good kid. Come, I'll bring you to do some shopping and I'll buy you some toys. I'll accompany you today and we'll play to our heart's content."
"Really? Yay, I love you, Aunty!"
Duo Duo then leaped for joy and gave Zhou Ying a few kisses on the cheek. Zhou Ying was overwhelmed with happiness and she just felt extremely happy.
When the two of them were about to leave, Chu Feng noticed Duo Duo squinting her eyes and there was a cunning look in her eyes like a sly fox.
Ugh... Chu Feng could only give Zhou Ying a gaze of sympathy in hopes that she had brought enough money out with her and would not get cheated too badly by that little girl.
"Brother, is Zhou Ying also going to move in with us soon?" asked Yun Muyu half-heartedly as she curled her body up while munching on Duo Duo's potato chips.
Yun Muqing became serious as well and she secretly eavesdropped on their conversation. She was starting to get anxious.
Although she felt sorry for Zhou Ying, she did not want Chu Feng and Zhou Ying to get too close to each other. The two of them were childhood sweethearts and this made her feel a little uncomfortable on the inside.
Chu Feng thought for a moment and replied, "No, I just brought her over today to hang around for a bit. She will still be returning to her old Zhou Family's residence."
Yun Muqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you should hurry and help her find a job. I'll help you as well and try to get in touch with some people, otherwise your parents will worry about her." "All right, thank you," said Chu Feng; Yun Muqing had warmed his heart.
He finally had some spare time to accompany Yun Muqing to watch the television and have some talk. However, Chu Feng could not help but to feel awkward with Yun Muyu just lingering beside them being a third-wheel.
After that, Chu Feng returned to his room and focused on studying the 'Collection of Mystical Healing', which the Great Dharma Monk had left behind. This Dharma Monk had achieved a surreal level of medical knowledge and had reached a stage where people were just left in awe; even Bian Que [1] and Hua Tuo [2] were just average physicians compared to him.
It was a pity that the Great Dharma Monk was indifferent to fame and fortune. Moreover, he was involved in a political conflict and his teachings came to an end. This was why he had been long forgotten in the books of history.
All Chu Feng could do now was to pass down this Great Dharma Monk's medical skills and use his techniques to heal more people. Perhaps the Great Dharma Monk's soul in Heaven would be grateful to him. Soon, four or five hours had passed and the sky had gotten dark.
Chu Feng was at the dining table and seemed a little worried. "Where did Zhou Ying bring Duo Duo? It's already so late but why are they not back yet?"
Yun Muqing also had a look of worry on her face.
[1] Bian Que is widely considered to be one of the most important figures in the history and development of Chinese Medicine and the earliest known Chinese physician. Bian Que lived in about the same period as Confucius during the Spring and Autumn Period
[2] Hua Tuo is a Chinese physician and surgeon who is best known for his surgical operations and the use of mafeisan, a herbal anesthetic formulation made from hemp.
