Chapter 60 Narrow Bamboo Pole

and no matter how society developed, it wouldn't change."Summer, what you said is right; indeed, it's a case of the weak being preyed upon by the strong. However, the強者並不隻是用拳頭解決問題。”喬東海在一旁說道，“你也說其他規則是...Chapter 60 Skinny Fellow

"Is that so" Chen Zhigang snorted coldly. "Since you're so confident, how about we bet on something then"

"What would we bet on" Xia Tian casually asked.

"We'll make it simple: let's shoot baskets!" Chen Zhigang looked down at Xia Tian with disdain. "If you lose, don't try to seduce Xinxin anymore, are you willing to take the gamble"

Shu Jing couldn’t help but glance at Chen Zhigang; although she was quite familiar with him, she thought he wasn’t being very nice—Xia Tian didn’t know how to play basketball, yet he wanted to bet on shooting hoops. Wasn't that just bullying someone who's weaker

But Xia Tian retorted: "So you're saying if you lose, then you’ll stop pestering Sister Xinxin"

"Exactly!" Chen Zhigang agreed verbally, but he was unconvinced. How could he possibly lose He was the best at shooting hoops; even professional players wouldn’t necessarily be his match.

“Alright then, although I don't like using my wife as a stake in a bet, since I’m sure to win anyway, let's go ahead with it!” Xia Tian agreed.

"Okay then, we'll set the time for tomorrow morning. We have afternoon matches and morning training sessions; that way there will be people around who can witness this too," Chen Zhigang said.

“Fine by me.” Xia Tian was indifferent about when it would happen.

Ed Xinxin glanced at Xia Tian with a hint of annoyance. She wasn't upset because he used her in the bet but rather because he accepted so casually, as if not worried about losing her at all

With such a bet made, Chen Zhijiang didn't deliberately make trouble for Xia Tian after that. He smoothly finished lunch and even offered to pay the bill. Then he enthusiastically invited Sun Xinxin to continue shopping.

However, Sun Xinxin no longer felt like going shopping and wasn't interested in buying a phone either. She shook her head and made an excuse: "Zhijiang, there are still some matters at the flower shop that I need to take care of. We'll go back now. Tomorrow, I will come to the sports college with Xia Tian. At that time, I'll give you a call."

"Xinxin, didn't you want to buy a phone" Chen Zhijiang's enthusiasm was doused like cold water on hot coals; naturally, he felt不甘心 (note: "不甘心" means unwilling or reluctant in Chinese).

"Maybe next time," Sun Xinxin also said goodbye to the other two. "Jiang Feng, Shu Jing, we're leaving now. See you tomorrow!"

Sun Xinxin nudged Xia Tian and they turned to leave.

Chen Zhijiang stared at their backs with disdain: "A measly flower-deliverer actually dares to compete with me!"

"Zhijiang, don't underestimate Xia Tian. The relationship between him and your first love might be unusual," Jiang Feng spoke up after remaining silent.

"I have that feeling too," Shu Jing agreed.

Chen Zhijiang sniffed, "Hmph! What kind of relationship could they possibly have I don't believe Xinxin would choose him over me!"

Jiang Feng shook his head and exchanged a glance with Shu Jing. Neither said anything more.

It was around three thirty in the afternoon.

In the summer, holding a bouquet of lily of the valley, he appeared at Li Yunman's door and pressed the doorbell.

The door opened quickly, revealing a face with smoky makeup. Clearly, this person wasn't Li Yunman but her thin sister who looked like a bamboo pole.

"Wow, such beautiful lilies, thank you!" Seeing the bouquet, the smoked-up thin sister reached out to snatch it.

Summer withdrew his hand, leaving the thin sister empty-handed. She glared at Summer with some displeasure: "You call yourself a divine doctor So stingy!"

"Flowers can't be given away casually; I don't want people to misunderstand that I like you," Summer said reasonably as he slipped inside and immediately spotted Li Yunman, rushing over to her. "Ms. Yunman, these are for you."

"Thank you, I really like them." Li Yunman took the flowers with a smile.

But the thin sister was displeased: "Is it embarrassing to like me"

Summer glanced at her and nodded seriously: "It's very embarrassing. Others will doubt my taste."

"You!" The thin sister was furious, "Look properly! I'm a beauty too!"

Summer shook his head: "I've seen clearly, you're not a beauty."

"You...you..." The thin sister stamped her feet in anger. "There's something wrong with your eyes!"

"I've always been accurate with my observations," Xia Tian was unhappy about Slender Bamboo's criticism of his observation skills. "You're 170 cm tall but only weigh 45 kg, and you don't have an ounce of fat on your body. You don't even need a bra because you haven't developed yet. Oh right, I have a bottle of ** cream that can help you reach at least a B cup. Would you like to buy it"

Slender Bamboo was flabbergasted; how could this guy's observation skills be so sharp

But she quickly retorted angrily, "Who said my chest hasn't developed Do you want me to take off my clothes and show you"

"If you want to strip, go ahead. I won't look though; I might have nightmares." Xia Tian casually replied.

"You—you're infuriating!" Slender Bamboo was nearly driven mad by this guy’s remarks.

"Enough, the two of you don’t need to act like sworn enemies," Liu Yunman opened her mouth with a somewhat helpless tone. "Sakura, I’ve told you before not to dress so sloppily. Now that people are saying you’re not pretty, you're unhappy."

"Sister, he’s not saying I'm ugly now; he's saying my body is bad!" Slender Bamboo was indignant. "Is my body really that terrible"

“Sakura, your figure is quite good and would be suitable for being a fashion model,” Liu Yunman comforted her sister with gentle words.

"Sister, you also said I'm too skinny!" Slender Bamboo was somewhat aggrieved. Wasn't it true that most fashion models were very thin

With no choice, Liu Yunman tried to continue comforting her sister: “Sakura, don’t worry about it now; you’re just sick right now. Once Xia Tian cures your illness and you eat more food to regain some weight, your figure will improve.”

Turning to look at Xia Tian, Liu Yunman continued, "Xia Tian, are you ready to perform acupuncture treatment If so, can you treat Sakura first"

"No problem." Xia Tian nodded. In fact, he hadn't used the Reversing Heaven Eight Needles when treating Liu Meng yesterday, so he could have started needling her much earlier.

"Then let's get started!" Liu Yunman was quite eager about this.

The treatment proceeded smoothly. Although Slender Bamboo hated Xia Tian now and wished she could bite him to death, when she saw that her comatose aunt had actually awakened, she no longer doubted his medical skills at all. She knew that she herself was sick, a disease that would definitely kill her, so naturally, she wanted treatment; even if the doctor was討厭的傢夥，她也會配合。

However, lying down on the bed, she secretly swore in her heart: "Once I'm cured, I'll come back and teach you這傢夥討厭，等本小姐病好了再來收拾你這個討厭鬼！

Just as she was thinking this, she felt a dizzy sensation. Then after a while, she felt incredibly comfortable all over, refreshed and invigorated, even more so than the legendary Zhu Bajie eating the immortal fruit of life. She then heard that討厭的傢夥 say: "Alright, you can get up now!"

"It's cured already" Slender Bamboo's initial reaction was just like Liu Yunman's back then, but this time, Liu Yunman clearly knew that the entire treatment took twenty minutes exactly, of course, shorter than Xia Tian had treated her for previously.

With Liu Yunman explaining beside her, Slender Bamboo quickly accepted the reality. Although she was still somewhat skeptical, she planned to go to the hospital later for a check-up; then everything would be confirmed.

"Hey, thanks!" Despite being unhappy with this guy, Slender Bamboo felt that she should at least say 'thanks' since he had treated her.

"No need. Sister Yunman already thanked me." Xia Tian said offhandedly.

"Is that so" Slender Bamboo looked at Liu Yunman with a hint of suspicion, "Sister, how did you thank him He didn't ask our family for money either, right"

"Don't worry about it." Liu Yunman thought to herself that she was one step closer to becoming Xia Tian's girlfriend and felt somewhat uneasy about it.

To avoid his sister's further questioning, Li Yunman quickly brought up another matter: "Summer, I’ve talked with Grandma. From now on, you come to my place every day and treat the rest of our family members. What do you think about it"

"Sure!" Summer agreed without hesitation. He was naturally happy to see Li Yunman every day, and treating patients was just something he did casually.

"Summer, there's another thing I want to discuss with you. Regarding my Uncle Three’s behavior towards you yesterday, I hope you won’t take it to heart and continue to treat him and my cousins. Will you agree" Li Yunman asked somewhat nervously.

Thinking about the monkey-like man who had five beautiful wives, Summer was quite displeased. He didn't want to treat that guy at all; he hoped the fellow would die sooner rather than later.

However, if he refused, Li Yunman might be upset. After pondering for a moment, Summer spoke up: "Yunman姐, I have no problem treating them, but they need to pay me."

"No problem, how much do you want" Li Yunman readily agreed. It was only right and proper to pay for treatment, especially for such incurable illnesses.

"For a life-saving case, I charge one million; for bringing someone back from the brink of death, it's half that." Summer said. "This is my master’s rule: since that monkey is about to die, I'll take half."

"Half" Li Yunman was somewhat confused. "What does that mean"

"Oh, it means I get half of whatever he has," Summer explained.

"Ah Uncle Three may not be extremely wealthy, but he still has several million! You want to take half of that" The skinny stick could not help exclaiming in surprise.

"So what if it’s only a few million He’s about to die. His money will go to others, and his wives will belong to someone else," Summer said matter-of-factly.'s grip was too tight for her to move. Fortunately, she noticed that her clothes were still intact, which reassured her somewhat. At least the worst-case scenario hadn’t occurred."Oh, Police Miss, las...
