Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 14

Nalan Jingwen turned his head, his gaze falling lightly on his profile. He had no expression, and was simply narrating something in a calm manner.

"Aren't you afraid of danger?"

After all, people can be wicked, and there are quite a few who will curse someone after leaving them with a bowl.

Liu Qishan rested his hand on the strap of his basket. The scars on his hand, which had been treated with medicine once, had faded a bit.

He walked on, heading forward, and when he heard her question, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Many of them are poor people who have no money for medical treatment. They are kind and simple-hearted and have no choice but to come to me. They trust me so much, how can I let them down?"

Nalan Jingwen looked at him and said these words. He was radiant and his eyes were bright.

"Even if someone tries to cause trouble, they will help me drive them away. There will be no danger. Besides, I have my own ways to protect myself and escape."

“I am their only hope. I studied medicine for them. I am happy when I heal people and see them happy. Even if I can’t see them, I feel satisfied.”

Liu Qishan suddenly stopped, turned to face her, and smiled gently. Nalan Jingwen was attracted by those eyes, which seemed to sparkle like starlight.

He said, "Sometimes, isn't life all about those few moments?"

Nalan Jing was stunned for a moment, and dared not look directly into his beautiful eyes. She turned her head away, not knowing what to say or how to answer.

She hadn't met someone as pure and beautiful as him in so long that he seemed somewhat distant to her.

I could only give a perfunctory reply.

"Ah."

Liu Qishan seemed oblivious to her perfunctory attitude and continued walking forward. Nalan Jingwen followed behind him, looking at his thin and frail body, which was carrying such a heavy burden.

He looked extremely weak, unable to lift a finger, as if he could be blown over by a gust of wind. Yet, this was the very person who told her that he studied medicine to heal the sick and save lives, to give everyone a healthy body.

She was indeed taken aback by his words, but her instincts, honed since childhood, made her wonder if there really were people like him in this world.

Is it an act or is it really true?

Nalan Jingwen stared at his back for a long time, watching him bend down to pick herbs, then gently sniff them. Strands of hair fell down on both sides, obscuring his profile, giving him a delicate and beautiful appearance.

He smelled the herbs and then tossed them into the basket on his back.

She watched as he repeatedly tossed several herbs, none of which she could name, into his basket, repeating the same action. Her eyes flickered, and she quickened her pace to walk to his side.

"Give me the basket, I'll carry it."

She was really afraid that such a big basket would break his back.

"It's not heavy, I can carry it myself."

Without saying a word, Nalan Jing took the basket off his back, put it on his own, and said to him, "You just focus on gathering herbs."

Knowing he couldn't argue with her, Liu Qishan said nothing more.

"You saved me, but you've never asked me my name. Aren't you curious?"

Liu Qishan put another herb into his basket, then shook his head.

"If you don't tell me, I won't ask."

Nalan Jingwen raised an eyebrow and grabbed his wrist before he could retract it. It was so thin, as if it would break at the slightest touch, causing her to unconsciously frown.

Liu Qishan looked at her with some confusion.

"what happened?"

Suppressing his discomfort, he continued, "Aren't you afraid I'm a villain being hunted by the government? Or some kind of vicious and ruthless person?"

The look of doubt on Liu Qishan's face faded, replaced by seriousness. He said, word by word, "You are not."

Nalan Jingwen was taken aback, then grinned. What if this person is so trusting and gets scammed later?

Fortunately, she wasn't a bad person, but she didn't consider herself a good person either.

Liu Qishan heard the sarcasm in her voice, but continued, "I save people so that I won't regret it. If I accidentally save a vicious and deserving person, I will pay any price to kill them again, even if it costs me my life."

His tone was serious, and there was no hint of joking in it.

Nalan Jingwen's smile faded, and a gloomy look, along with some unreadable emotions, appeared between his brows. After staring at him for a long while, he said, "My name is Jingwen. Remember that?"

Liu Qishan frowned slightly. The pain in his wrist made him subconsciously want to pull back, but the force holding him was so strong that he couldn't move an inch.

"Did you remember? My name."

Nalan Jingwen stared intently at him, not missing a single expression on his face, and did not relax even when he saw him wince in pain.

"remember."

Only after Liu Qishan answered did she suddenly let go, noticing a red mark around his wrist. A fleeting look of guilt crossed her eyes.

"Let's go."

Liu Qishan lowered his head and responded softly, his expression unreadable.

Nalan Jingwen walked through the dense forest, completely relaxed, occasionally glancing at the blue-clad man beside him who was silently gathering herbs.

She was somewhat dazed. In the blink of an eye, almost two months had passed since she arrived in this world. This period had been unusually peaceful. No one had disturbed her, there were no lurking dangers, and no unpredictable conspiracies. It was the first time in all her years of life that she had lived a peaceful life. Even though she was poor and disheveled, she was happy.

If things continue like this with him, it might not be a bad choice.

Looking at Liu Qishan, who was squatting on the ground, sometimes laughing and sometimes frowning, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

Soon, her smile froze on her face, solidifying inch by inch.

"Liu Qishan!!"

Birds in the mountains were startled and took flight, their cries rising abruptly.

Liu Qishan was startled by Nalan Jingwen's loud voice and choked, coughing. The next second, a hand forcefully clamped down on his pointed chin.

They forced him to open his mouth, reached into it and started rummaging through it, while Nalan Jingwen's angry voice could be heard from time to time.

"Are you a pig?! Don't you know this is poisonous?! What are you doing, stuffing it into your mouth like that?! What if you get sick from eating it?!"

She cursed as she picked at the contents of his mouth.

Only after prying it all out, making sure there wasn't a single bit left, did I feel a little relieved and release my grip on your chin.

Why are you putting it in your mouth?!

She was really angry. If she hadn't happened to catch a glimpse of his actions and recognized that herb, who knows what might have happened!

Liu Qishan was in pain from Nalan Jingwen's rough handling, coughing incessantly, his eyes blurry with tears, and his cheeks flushed red. One might mistake him for someone who had been bullied.

Hearing Nalan Jingwen's question, he paused for a moment before looking in Nalan Jingwen's direction with his watery eyes and said, "Zechuan can be used to make anesthetic. If used properly, it won't kill anyone. I'm just not sure what kind it is, so I want to try it to confirm it before I can make better use of it."

Upon hearing this reason, which was hardly a valid one, Nalan Jingwen refused without even thinking.

"no!"
