Chapter 653 - 323 Considerate_2
On his body, there lay a paradoxical unity.
He was tall and slim, measuring at one meter eighty-two, but not particularly bulky, on the lean side. Unlike the similarly tall Wan Dazhong, who looked every bit the robust general, his facial features were handsome yet rugged. Unlike Father Jiang’s valiant and handsome appearance, there was also a touch of scholarly elegance to him. He possessed the generous openness of a military officer, as well as the elegance and restraint of an aristocratic family’s son. Especially his eyes, they were both piercingly insightful and seemingly able to embrace everything with calmness. This might have been related to the family education he received and being a disciple to a high monk for over a decade.
Qian Yixiu liked to admire handsome men and stared blankly at him, thinking to herself that if it weren’t for Auntie Cui’s meddling, perhaps they would have been married next year. Actually, this man was really not bad. He had once helped her and her family a lot, he had talent, wealth, and looks, came from a good family, and was so considerate...
As she watched entranced and lost in thought, Liang Jinzhao looked up and asked, "How is it, feeling better?"
Seeing that Qian Yixiu did not respond, he asked again, "What’s wrong?"
Qian Yixiu, feeling guilty, blushed as red as the dawn, fully visible even under the starlight. She whispered, "Thank you."
Liang Jinzhao had been solely focused on warming up Qian Yixiu, helping her recover her senses as soon as possible. Now seeing Qian Yixiu’s face turn red, he recalled that he had been massaging from top to bottom the girl he had long adored and his face turned red as well.
He controlled his racing heart and smiled, "No need to thank me, just remember that you owe me a favor." He paused, then added, "Actually, I’ve been owing you a big favor. You helped me find the Spiritual Medicine, and only then could I become a general, go to the battlefield, and do what I enjoy. It’s been a tough journey to get here, and I now realize just how perilous this path has been. It must have been hard for you, thank you."
When he said "thank you," his hand unintentionally applied a little more pressure.
Qian Yixiu whispered softly, "You have helped me a lot in the past, too."
Liang Jinzhao said, "You were such a darling child, I... heh heh..."
