180: Chapter 177: Sister-in-law’s Beverage_1 180: Chapter 177: Sister-in-law’s Beverage_1 That afternoon, Lu Chuan gathered everyone from the medical clinic and announced his plan to visit the provincial city.
Zhou Siming said with some concern, “Lu Chuan, now that Xu Shaoming hasn’t troubled us and has returned to the provincial city, this is good news for us.
However, your going there now—isn’t that like a sheep entering the tiger’s den?”
Lu Chuan replied with a smile, “Old Zhou, rest assured, since I dare to go, I have naturally thought it through.
The Xu family may be powerful, but the provincial city is not lawless; they wouldn’t dare do anything to me.”
“Besides, once I’m in the provincial city, Xu Shaoming will definitely focus on me, and you all will be safer here as a result.”
Su Ming replied with a chuckle, “Big brother, go without worry.
Leave the clinic to me.
I’ve made some progress in my martial arts skills recently; I guarantee that no one will come here to cause trouble.”
Suzumiya Ichikazu put down the cloth in her hands, her eyes wide as she said, “I…
Lu Chuan said, “I’m not sure what I’ll encounter in the provincial city this time; I can’t bring along any dead weight.”
Immediately, Ichikazu’s face fell, and she picked up the rag again, turned, and left, saying, “The dead weight will go back to work.”
Lu Chuan couldn’t help but smile wryly.
This young girl had adapted well to life at the clinic, working diligently, behaving obediently, winning everyone’s affection.
At first, Mu Nanqing was rather hostile towards the girl, but after getting to know each other better, she found her to be quite charming, especially those big, beautiful eyes that could invoke tenderness in anyone.
So now, she and Ichikazu had become close sisters.
Ichikazu, too, was fond of her busty sister Nanqing, constantly following her around asking what to eat to enhance her development, often causing Mu Nanqing to blush with embarrassment.
Due to the limited rooms in the clinic, Ichikazu had to sleep in the storage room when she first arrived.
Now that she had built a good relationship with Mu Nanqing, the two of them were sharing a bed, discussing tips on breast development every night.
Perhaps because she had lived in the Island Country since she was young, Ichikazu was full of curiosity about all things Cathay, wanting to learn about everything, which is why she wanted to go to the provincial city with Lu Chuan.
When Mu Nanqing heard that Lu Chuan planned to go to the provincial city, she tensed up and quickly asked, “When do you plan to leave?”
After some thought, Lu Chuan said, “If nothing else comes up, I’ll leave tomorrow.”
Mu Nanqing was a bit surprised.
Lu Chuan looked puzzled and asked, “Sister, do you have other matters to attend to?”
Mu Nanqing hastily replied, “No, no, it’s just that Xiaochuan is leaving on a long trip, and I’m a bit reluctant to part with him.”
Lu Chuan said with a smile, “It’s just a trip to the provincial city; it doesn’t count as a long journey.
I’ll be back as soon as I’ve finished what I need to do.”
Mu Nanqing said nothing more, but lowered her head, beginning to think whether she needed to take action immediately.
Once the cat’s out of the bag and Xiaochuan leaves for the provincial city, we’ll have enough time to cool down and accept the situation.
In that case, I’ll take action tonight…”
Having made up her mind, Mu Nanqing felt much more relaxed, and a hint of eager anticipation appeared on her face.
Nine o’clock at night.
Lu Chuan finished packing his things, then planned to meditate in quiet preparation for his journey to the provincial city tomorrow morning.
Just then, Mu Nanqing suddenly knocked on his door, asking, “Xiaochuan, are you thirsty?
I’ve made a special drink for you.
Would you like to try it?”
Lu Chuan replied, “Sister, I’m not thirsty right now, and drinking too much water in the evening makes me need the toilet.”
“Oh,” Mu Nanqing responded, then turned and walked away.
A little while later, there was a knock on the door again—it was Mu Nanqing.
“Xiaochuan, can you help me move some things?”
Lu Chuan had no choice but to leave the room, only to see Mu Nanqing at that moment dressed in a white blouse, a short skirt, with black stockings hugging her beautiful legs, her slightly curled hair cascading down, eyes like autumn waters, cheeks flushed, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
He was instantly stunned.
“Sister-in-law, you look so…
beautiful.” He originally wanted to say ‘sexy’ but felt it wasn’t quite right, so he quickly changed his words.
A hint of shyness floated onto Mu Nanqing’s face.
She tucked her hair behind her ear and said, “Really?
This outfit is new; I just tried it on casually.”
Lu Chuan’s gaze inadvertently glanced at the unbuttoned area near Mu Nanqing’s chest, swallowed, and then quickly moved his eyes away, asking, “Move…
Mu Nanqing said, “Those herbs in the warehouse take up too much space.
I’d like you to help move them to the corner.”
Lu Chuan immediately nodded and went to the warehouse.
Mu Nanqing followed him in and pointed to the piles of herbs, “Just move these to the corner; they’re too heavy, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to move them by myself after you leave for the provincial city tomorrow.”
Lu Chuan glanced at the herbs, thinking that their clinic still had a strong labor force named Su Ming who could be asked to help.
It wasn’t necessary for the sister-in-law to insist on him doing it.
However, realizing that Mu Nanqing would feel awkward to ask Su Ming for help, and given he was leaving for the provincial city soon, he said nothing and obediently started moving the herbs as she had instructed.
About half an hour later.
Lu Chuan finished moving the herbs, drenched in sweat.
Mu Nanqing came over with a cup of “homemade beverage,” a mix of nervousness and excitement in her voice, “Xiaochuan, you must be thirsty after sweating so much.
Hurry and have a drink of my homemade beverage.”
Lu Chuan glanced at the cup and thought to himself, did sister-in-law have me move all these herbs just so I would sweat and then drink her homemade beverage?
He smiled and accepted it, saying, “Thank you, sister-in-law.”
Mu Nanqing bashfully lowered her head and said, “You drink up; I’ll…
I’ll step out to buy some things.”
After saying that, she turned and left the clinic.
Lu Chuan, holding the cup of homemade beverage, went out to the yard and placed the cup on the stone table there.
He planned to take a shower before drinking the beverage.
He then headed for the bathroom.
Before long, Suzumiya Ichikazu arrived in the yard after having cleaned the clinic’s main hall.
“Finally finished cleaning, I’m so thirsty.
It would be great to have a drink at this moment.”
Her gaze fell on the stone table, and when she saw there was indeed a cup of beverage, her eyes shone, and she hurried over.
She picked up the cup, looked at it with a moved expression, and said, “Wow, it’s a homemade beverage.
This must be Sister Nanqing seeing how hard I’ve worked and specially preparing it for me.”
“Well, I won’t be polite then!”
With that, she downed the contents of the cup in one gulp.
“It tastes a bit strange…
It would be even better with a little more sugar…” Suzumiya Ichikazu commented on the beverage, then put the cup back on the stone table, and contentedly went back to her room to sleep.
Not long after, Lu Chuan finished his shower and came out to the stone table, intending to drink the beverage Mu Nanqing had specially prepared for him.
He reached for the cup only to find it already empty, his face showing a trace of confusion, “Who drank my beverage?”
