Chapter 72

Xu Xi entered Xu Xi's dormitory. Seeing the plastic bag from the "Huatuo Hall" Chinese medicine store in Jia Yu's hand, she knew he had brought more herbs, and quite a lot of them. Xu Xi smiled at Jia Yu, "Jia Yu, after I took the medicine you cooked last time, I really felt like a whole new person. My skin is better than before, and I feel much more energetic. I want to drink it again."

Xu Xi wanted to tell Jia Yu that the herbal soup could treat her chronic illness, but she was too embarrassed to mention it.

Jia Yu, seeing Xu Xi's happiness, knew the medicine was working on her chronic illness. He didn't say anything and raised the plastic bag, "Here, I've already prepared the herbs for the remaining six doses. Today I'll teach you how to cook it, so you can do it yourself when I'm not around."

"Okay, that's great," Xu Xi nodded with a smile. This way, she wouldn't have to trouble Jia Yu every time.

"Teacher Xu, let's start. I'll teach you some details while I'm cooking. Remember, it's actually quite simple," Jia Yu said, looking at Xu Xi again.

"Okay," Xu Xi nodded, taking note.

The various herbs had already been mixed and divided into six small packets by the store owner at Jia Yu's request, saving Xu Xi the trouble of measuring the right amount each time.

Jia Yu started cooking, and Xu Xi followed behind. Jia Yu explained each step clearly to Xu Xi, such as the heat and the cooking time, which he converted into minutes for her. Xu Xi took notes.

After the soup was ready, Jia Yu handed a bowl to Xu Xi, "Teacher Xu, please."

"Thank you, Jia Yu. I won't be shy," Xu Xi smiled gracefully, took the bowl, and drank it all in one go. The first time, she wasn't sure about its benefits and drank it hesitantly, but now she knew it was as good as a miraculous elixir. After all, her chronic illness had shown no improvement despite secret treatments for so long, but Jia Yu's beauty soup actually worked. She didn't want to waste a single drop.

After finishing, Xu Xi wiped her mouth, "Alright, let's start reviewing now."

Jia Yu nodded and took out the review materials Xu Xi had prepared for him. The two sat on the sofa.

"Jia Yu, let me check your progress from two days ago," Xu Xi said, looking at Jia Yu.

"Go ahead, Teacher," Jia Yu replied, remembering everything clearly.

Xu Xi started asking questions, and to her surprise, Jia Yu answered fluently without any mistakes. Considering Jia Yu's abilities, she wasn't too surprised.

Suddenly, Xu Xi felt a wave of heat spreading through her body, her face turning slightly red. This time, the heat came faster and was more intense, especially in the area affected by her chronic illness, which started to feel hot and itchy. With the experience from the last time, Xu Xi knew this was a side effect of the beauty soup and wasn't afraid. But this time, it was even stronger.

Xu Xi endured it, explaining to Jia Yu. Jia Yu, noticing her flushed face, recalled her reaction from the last time and wasn't worried. This was a normal reaction after drinking the soup.

However, Jia Yu didn't know that Xu Xi's entire body was burning, as if she had taken some kind of drug. She wanted to take off her clothes and find someone to relieve the heat.

While explaining, Xu Xi looked at Jia Yu and suddenly found him incredibly handsome and charming. She wanted to hug him, kiss his lips, and even more... This impulse grew stronger. Although she knew these thoughts were terrifying, she couldn't control her mind, her body burning with desire.

Feeling she couldn't control herself any longer, Xu Xi suddenly stood up, "Jia Yu, I, I need to go to the bathroom."

"Okay," Jia Yu nodded, looking at Xu Xi. She had just drunk a large bowl of soup.

Watching Xu Xi walk to the bathroom, Jia Yu flipped through the review materials. He had memorized everything after reading them once, but he still came to Xu Xi's place to cook the medicine for her. On the other hand, he didn't want to disappoint Xu Xi, who had worked hard for him. Jia Yu knew how to be grateful.

After a while, Xu Xi came out of the bathroom. To avoid losing control in front of Jia Yu, she had suppressed the heat in the bathroom. Although the heat was still there, it was much weaker than before.

Coming out of the bathroom, Xu Xi's face was flushed with embarrassment. She had never done such a thing before. She never imagined that after taking the medicine twice, she would have to deal with it twice, how shameful! But this was something only she knew. Maybe after a few more doses, her chronic illness would be cured.

Xu Xi also thought that next time, she should take the medicine first, and not wait for Jia Yu to come and cook it. That way, she wouldn't lose control again. She had memorized the method Jia Yu taught her and should be able to cook it herself.

Xu Xi continued to explain today's review content to Jia Yu. Jia Yu treated it as a review.

As the time approached, Xu Xi suddenly thought of something and looked at Jia Yu, "Jia Yu, what happened with Qu Xuer today?"

"Uh, Teacher Xu, you already know?" Jia Yu was speechless, not expecting the news to reach Xu Xi.

Xu Xi nodded, "I heard that Qu Xuer walked into the classroom and pulled you out, right?"

"Uh... Yes," Jia Yu didn't deny it.

"Everyone is speculating about what happened between you two. Can you tell your teacher?" Xu Xi smiled and asked. Jia Yu was her student, and even if he had a relationship with Qu Xuer, she had no right to ask. But for some reason, she felt uneasy.

Jia Yu smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so curious, Teacher. Of course, I won't hide anything from you. We just went out to handle some matters, nothing else. As for what matters, please forgive me, I can't say right now."

"Okay. I thought Qu Xuer was going to eat you. Fine, if you don't want to say, that's fine. Jia Yu, you are very talented, and many girls are after you. But you need to keep your focus. The college entrance exam review is crucial, and you shouldn't let emotions distract you. You have a solid foundation, and with the recent review, you've improved a lot, beyond our expectations. With a bit more effort, you have a chance at a bachelor's degree," Xu Xi advised, looking at Jia Yu. She had been his teacher since high school and knew everything about him, especially his relationship with Li Yuting, which had made him fall into a deep depression. Xu Xi didn't want Jia Yu to be hurt again.

"Okay, Teacher, I won't let you down!" Jia Yu wanted to tell Xu Xi that he was reviewing very well and had the potential to be the top student, and he would bring glory to her.

When Jia Yu returned home, he saw Wu Xiuhua, Liu Xin, and Jiang Fangfei eating dinner.

"Xiao Yu is back, come and join us," Wu Xiuhua said, looking at Jia Yu.

"Okay, Mom, I'll wash my hands first," Jia Yu replied.

"Godmother, you have a great son. Jia Yu is so handsome, he will definitely have a bright future," Jiang Fangfei flattered. Hearing that Liu Xin was Wu Xiuhua's goddaughter, Jiang Fangfei didn't want to be left out and also wanted to be recognized.

Wu Xiuhua was naturally delighted and agreed. She never imagined she would have two such beautiful goddaughters. "Your god-sister, if you become famous, don't forget to help your god-brother," Wu Xiuhua chuckled.

"Of course, Godmother, no matter how I turn out, I will help my god-brother," Jiang Fangfei smiled seductively.

"Good, good," Wu Xiuhua was very pleased.

Liu Xin smiled gracefully on the side. She didn't doubt Jiang Fangfei's words. She knew Jiang Fangfei well; although she looked like a fox spirit, she was actually very loyal and sincere in her relationships.

While washing his hands, Jia Yu had already figured out the situation. He didn't expect Wu Xiuhua to recognize another goddaughter so quickly. But considering Wu Xiuhua's love for a lively atmosphere and her inability to refuse people, he decided to go along with it. After all, it wasn't a bad thing.
