Both Chu Nan and Xia Zhi went silent after hearing Chen Feng’s words.

Xia Zhi struggled to get the words out before finally saying, “It’s a pity that you don’t write novels.”

At Xia Zhi’s words, Chen Feng’s face beamed with excitement. The man looked at her seriously and asked, “Miss Xia Zhi, do you really think I’m capable? Truth be told, growing up, I always envisioned myself as a novelist.”

Xia Zhi was at a loss for words.

Xia Zhi hesitated for a while before responding.

Thankfully, Chu Nan was the one to break the ice. “I popped into the bathroom for a quick shower.”

When Chen Feng heard this, he knew something wasn’t right. Fifth Elder used to avoid taking showers at this hour. Is it possible that Fifth Elder took a shower and staged a bathing scene to seduce Miss Xia Zhi because she was here today?

After hearing this, Chen Feng began to think it might actually be possible. His eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Chu Nan. He didn’t expect the Fifth Elder, who used to despise women, to have such a penchant for women after gaining enlightenment.

The next words from Xia Zhi, however, shattered Chen Feng’s ideas.

Chen Feng heard Xia Zhi praise him,”Soaking in the medicinal bath before taking a bath will help with the treatment later. It’s the right thing to do.”

Chu Nan also smiled and nodded. He used his magnetic and pleasant voice to say,”Okay, I’ll have to trouble Zhizhi to treat me later.”

Xia Zhi knelt and gently touched some acupuncture points on Chu Nan’s legs. At the same time, she asked, “Do you feel anything?”

Chu Nan frowned slightly as he recalled the feeling he had just experienced. His voice trembled slightly as he said, “It’s a little itchy, and it hurts a little.”

Chu Nan tried to hide the enthusiasm in his voice, but it came through anyway. For the past two years, he had felt nothing in his legs, but now he did. Is this a sign that his legs are on the mend?

The confirmation from Xia Zhi came at the exact moment Chu Nan had the idea. “Your leg has recovered quite well. I’ll give you a prescription later. When the time is right, you’ll combine it with your prescription and move on to the next phase. It won’t take long for you to recover.”

When Xia Zhi finished administering the medicine to Chu Nan, he looked at her and said softly, “Okay, thank you, Zhizhi.”

Xia Zhi did not respond because Chu Nan’s words felt like a feather landing on her heart and making it flutter. The image of the dashing man emerging from the bathroom caused her ears to turn red.

When Chu Nan saw Xia Zhi’s bright red ears, the corners of his mouth turned up in a triumphant smile.

Chen Feng glanced at Xia Zhi and then at Chu Nan. He felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere here, especially when he recalled Fifth Elder’s gentle voice just now. It was completely different from the usual!

Chu Nan only saw Chen Feng standing there like a silly goose. Every once in a while, he’d swivel his head. Most importantly, it was distracting him. He finally snapped, “If you have nothing to do, go write the company’s next plan.”

“Yes!” Chen Feng was not angry when he heard Chu Nan’s cold voice. He happily went to work. This was more like the Fifth Elder he knew. He had seriously suspected that someone had possessed his master!

After Xia Zhi mixed the medicine for Chu Nan, she massaged him for half an hour before telling him, “In the following days, you must take your medicine on time. If you want the best possible outcome from your treatment, you should avoid getting wind on your legs.”

When Xia Zhi spoke, Chu Nan always responded dutifully.

The rapidity with which Chu Nan responded led Xia Zhi to worry that he was trying to brush her off. She could not help but ask suspiciously, “Are you listening to me?”

“Yes,” Chu Nan replied firmly and repeated the instructions that Xia Zhi had given him.

Xia Zhi was finally relieved.

“Do you want to go out for dinner later?””

“Alright…” Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang in the next second. Xia Zhi picked it up and saw that it was Zhao Shan calling.

Seeing this, Xia Zhi smiled at Chu Nan in embarrassment and said, “I need to take this.”

Chu Nan nodded with a smile.

Xia Zhi walked to the balcony and whispered, ” What’s wrong, Senior Sister?”
