After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

【Oh dear, Second Brother, are you stupid? Chen Boqing's reputation is so bad that no one will act as a matchmaker for Sister Chen. Even if they do, it probably won't be a good match.】

Gu Liyao: "..."

I kind of regret asking that question.

Chen Xining's ears were still red: "I feel great being able to be with my parents. I help out at the charity during the day and take care of them at night."

Gu Liyao nodded, and there was a moment of silence in the air, as if the two of them had nothing more to say after that sentence.

"Sister, come quickly and help me get this cup. It's too high, I can't reach it."

"oh yes"

Chen Xining turned to help.

Gu Linglong stared at her profile and exclaimed, "Sister Chen is so beautiful!"

Gu Liyao didn't dare look in that direction, keeping his eyes fixed straight ahead.

[She's truly beautiful inside and out. In my past life, my second brother's spiritual roots were severed and he was abandoned at a charity, and it was Sister Chen who took care of him.]

Gu Liyao's fingers trembled.

[That idiot second brother probably still thinks Shen Qingqing saved him, right? What kind of eyesight does he have? He can even mistake one person for another. Why does he like Shen Qingqing? Sister Chen is much prettier than Shen Qingqing.]

Gu Liyao couldn't help but turn his head to look over. Chen Xining was busy under the eaves, her face half in the sunlight and half in the shadow.

She smiled gently as she spoke to the children, and the sunlight seemed to soften because of her.

Gu Liyao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned his head away, not daring to look.

[Sigh... Sister Chen is so pitiful. Her poem was plagiarized by Li Xiaohan, and she saved someone, but no one even knows it was her who saved them. She doesn't even have a matchmaker to help her.]

Gu Liyao rubbed his fingertips together, seemingly lost in thought.

"cough cough cough"

"Xiao Zhi, what's wrong? Did you choke?"

Chen Xining frowned and kept patting the child's back.

Upon hearing this, Gu Liyao immediately came over: "What's wrong?"

"It seems like they choked on a nut."

Gu Liyao brought not only pastries but also fruits and nuts.

The child named Xiaozhi was coughing so hard his face was red, and Gu Liyao held the child with his back to him.

Clench both fists and squeeze firmly and rhythmically a few inches below Xiao Zhi's heart.

A moment later, Xiao Zhi spat out half a date that he hadn't chewed properly. Xiao Zhi coughed until his eyes were watering, and then he was able to breathe more easily.

"Thank you... thank you, Brother Liyao."

Gu Liyao patted his back: "You're welcome. Food must be chewed thoroughly before swallowing, understand?"

Chen Xining brought Xiao Zhi a glass of water. Both of them were quite startled. Xiao Zhi nodded obediently, "Okay, Brother Li Yao."

"Young Master Gu, what technique did you use just now? Could...could you teach me? If this happens again, I'll be able to handle it."

"it is good"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liyao regretted it. His master taught him step by step, so how could he teach a woman?

I don't know what she was thinking about, but her ears quietly turned red.

Gu Liyao coughed and said, "Like this, make fists with both hands and squeeze them forcefully below your heart, around this spot. The energy will push the remaining core upwards."

Gu Liyao explained to Xiao Zhi using gestures and drawings.

Why don't you give it a try?

Chen Xining nodded, and Xiao Zhi readily agreed, "Is that so?"

"Yes,... move your hand down a little, but don't squeeze the child's chest."

"Oh, I see"

Chen Xining moved her hand down a little: "Is it here?"

"Yes, right here. You need to feel the energy rising upwards."

After Chen Xining finished the movement, she asked Xiao Zhi, "Do you feel it? Is this the right amount of force?"

Xiao Zhi nodded: "Yes, that's how it is."

Chen Xining released Xiao Zhi: "Thank you, Xiao Zhi, go play now."

Perhaps remembering his somewhat unseemly movements during the lesson, Chen Xining was slightly reserved: "Thank you, Young Master Gu."

"It's okay, as long as you learn it."

After all the children had finished eating, the free clinic began. The servants brought a table to the courtyard, and the children lined up to wait for their turn.

"Place your little hand here, hmm, not bad, just a little feverish."

Gu Liyao was watching over the children.

"Brother Liyao, so you were here!"

Gu Liyao looked up at the scene, then quickly lowered his eyes again.

"Brother Liyao, let me help."

As Shen Qingqing spoke, she prepared to come over.

"No need, I'll finish watching it right away."

Shen Qingqing pouted. Was it just her imagination? Why did she feel that Gu Liyao was a little cold towards her?

Chen Xining glanced at Shen Qingqing and then at Gu Liyao, sighed softly, and turned to go to the kitchen.

After Gu Liyao finished looking at all the children, Shen Qingqing enthusiastically helped him pack his things.

Gu Liyao pulled his things back: "No need, I can pack up myself."

Shen Qingqing: "Is Brother Liyao also blaming me?"

Gu Liyao shook his head: "No, you're overthinking it. I'm just a little tired."

"Then let me treat you to dinner."

【Wow~ The iconic scene of digging out spiritual roots】

Gu Liyao's hand trembled slightly: "No need, I'll eat at the charity hall."

"Then I'll accompany you."

Thinking of the children at the charity, Gu Liyao finally relented: "Let's eat out then. You can tell me what's wrong."

"Uh-huh"

Gu Liyao kept Gu Ziming behind.

When the group arrived at the private room, Shen Qingqing ordered a table full of Gu Liyao's favorite dishes.

Gu Liyao's eyes were dim and unclear. So she knew what he liked to eat?

I used to look down on it, but it seems my spiritual root is actually quite valuable.

Shen Qingqing poured a glass of wine for each of them: "Let the nanny take my little sister to the next room for dinner. Let's have a good talk."

"No, my sister can't live without me. She's still young and doesn't understand anything. Don't worry."

Shen Qingqing glanced at Gu Linglong in the cradle, thought for a moment, and agreed: "Alright then, I'll first toast Brother Liyao. Although I couldn't stay at Xinglin Hall, I still learned quite a few skills."

Gu Liyao stared at his untouched wine glass. Shen Qingqing, seeing that he hadn't drunk from it, grew anxious: "Are you afraid I'll poison it?"

After saying that, he drank a glass of wine and shook the empty glass downwards: "Are you relieved now?"

[Oh my god, they've even used a mandarin duck wine pot! One pot holds two different kinds of wine. Shen Qingqing's cup isn't poisoned, but Second Brother's cup has a large amount of hallucinogenic drugs. Second Brother, don't drink it!]

Gu Liyao gulped it down immediately: "Why would I suspect you of poisoning me? I'll drink it right now."

Shen Qingqing smiled sweetly, which, combined with her gloomy expression, created a strange kind of beauty.

"Let me pour another cup for Brother Liyao."

Shen Qingqing drank first, looking eagerly at Gu Liyao. He didn't disappoint her and drank it down in one gulp.

It seems I was just being paranoid; Gu Liyao was completely unsuspecting of her.

Gu Liyao shook his head: "Why...why do I feel a little dizzy?"

Shen Qingqing: "He's probably drunk. Why don't we rest here for a while?"

"No, no, I still have to take care of the child."

Shen Qingqing smiled and said, "I'll help you carry it, okay? I want to borrow something from you, something very precious. Can you give it to me?"

Speak up! Speak up that you volunteered!
