Chapter 5: She’s Very Special
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When she met Chen Mo in her previous life, he was dressed in casual clothes. With just one look, he managed to make the kidnappers who were holding her tremble in fear.
At that time, Chen Mo was cold, handsome, and her savior. He had left a very good impression on Xia Wan’s heart.
The Chen Mo in front of her, however, still retained some childishness. He was only twenty.
Hearing Xia Wan’s words, Chen Mo’s face turned even redder. He had never expected that his most confident charm would be completely useless in front of this girl.
He smartly caught Xia Wan’s words and asked, “You said doctor? So you’re a doctor? I’ve only heard of Doctor Niu from your Shichun village, but I’ve never heard of a young female doctor.”
Xia Wan narrowed her eyes. She did not expect Chen Mo to be so smart even when he was injured.
She smiled but her eyes remained indifferent. “What a coincidence. I’m a genius. I only read a few medical books, and I’ve learned it all. Congratulations! You’re my first patient.”
Her smile was bright, but Chen Mo’s face froze.
He lowered his head and looked at his already bandaged wound, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.
“I-I trust in your skills,” Chen Mo finally said.
Xia Wan raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of doubt. “You seem to trust me. Why?”
Chen Mo also smiled. “If I said that I thought you looked kind when I saw you, would you believe me? I believe you’re a good person and have amazing medical skills.”
Xia Wan rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t be cheeky. I think you don’t have any other choice. You had to trust me whether you wanted to or not. After all, no one can save you now except me.”
Chen Mo sighed. “Little girl, being too smart is not always a good thing.”
An ordinary girl would have long bought the guy’s praises, but not this girl. Her clear eyes seemed to be able to see through his flattery.
“What’s your name?” Chen Mo asked.
Xia Wan didn’t want to say it at first, but when she thought about how they would have to deal with each other again in the future, and that Xia Bing was the one who took the credit in her previous life, she knew she had to take all the credit for saving people in this life!
“Xia Wan. What about you?”
“Chen Mo.”
Xia Wan nodded. “You can go down the mountain after you rest. I still have things to do. I’ll leave you to it.”
After saying that, she turned around and left without giving Chen Mo a chance to speak.
Looking at Xia Wan’s back, Chen Mo was very surprised.
The watch he was wearing was inlaid with diamonds. It was obviously very expensive, but this girl didn’t even look at it. She had saved him, but she did not even have the intention to ask for any reward.
If he hadn’t taken the initiative to ask for her name, this girl probably wouldn’t have even wanted to tell him.
“Xia Wan,” the man repeated and then smiled. “Yes, it’s a good name. I’ll remember it.”
After walking for a distance, Xia Wan’s face turned pale, and her breathing became rapid. She found a tree trunk to lean against and finally had time to catch her breath.
She already got a cold after falling into the water, and she had to struggle to save Chen Mo just now. Thus, whatever remaining strength she had was completely gone.
Chen Mo’s appearance reminded her of Xia Bing.
Just thinking of this person filled Xia Wan’s eyes with hatred.
After Chen Mo had saved Xia Wan’s life twice, she was filled with gratitude and always wanted an opportunity to repay him.
That year, Xia Wan officially finished her apprenticeship. Her master said that there was nothing else he could teach her, so she chose to travel the world to help people in need.
It was also that year that Xia Wan received a special patient. His breathing was weak, and had a body riddled with wounds, especially a deep one near his heart. Many doctors said that they didn’t dare to fix him, nor did they have the ability to do so.
This patient was Chen Mo, the man Xia Wan had wanted to repay her kindness with.
In order to save him, Xia Wan put in all her effort and concentration, and after over ten grueling hours of surgery, she finally managed to save him from the hands of the grim reaper.
After the operation, Xia Wan fainted due to exhaustion. When she woke up again, she found herself locked in a small dark room with only a dark window and someone bringing her food every day.
There, she saw Tang Ming, her senior brother whom she had always respected.
“Why?” she asked, her eyes full of confusion.
Tang Ming’s indifference at that time still made her feel cold all over.
“There’s no reason. Your credit goes to Bingbing. Remember, Bingbing is the one who saved Chen Mo. If you promise to keep this a secret, I’ll let you go. I’ll even help you prepare the equipment and funds needed to save your brother.”
