Chapter 390: Expert
Chen Qing stood outside the courtyard gate, looking at that coldly beautiful face inside the door, his heart slightly startled.
The Xu Min before him was completely different from the Senior Sister Xu he remembered.
It was still that face, eyebrows and eyes like a painting, skin surpassing snow.
But the gentle warmth of the past, the faint smile that often graced her lips, were gone. Now her willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she didn't welcome his visit.
"Senior Sister Xu," Chen Qing suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and cupped his fists, "Previously, Senior Sister graciously gave me pills to heal my injuries, a kindness I've remembered. Today I've presumed to visit because I wanted to thank you in person."
Xu Min's gaze lingered on his face for two breaths before she stepped aside, "Come in."
Her voice was still pleasant, but no longer had its former gentleness, appearing somewhat cold.
Chen Qing stepped inside. The courtyard scenery remained exquisite, with the lotus pond, ornamental carp, rare stones and spirit plants, only the atmosphere seemed much colder than before.
The two didn't enter the house, but sat facing each other in the octagonal pavilion by the pond.
