Chapter 3: Ten times the speed? That must be lightning fast!

Splash~

The sound of water rang out.

Duan Yu sat on the only broken wooden bed in the room, looking at Diaochan, who was sitting on a small stool nearby.

Although Diaochan still appeared somewhat young at this time.

And her attire was very simple and plain.

It was not hard to see that she already possessed the beauty to topple cities and kingdoms.

Duan Yu's frozen, icy feet were soaking in the wooden basin full of hot water.

He was wrapped in a tattered, drafty jacket.

The coarse fabric scratched Duan Yu's body, causing him some pain.

This made Duan Yu regret having generously given away his own clothes just now.

"You said you live with your aunt now?" Duan Yu asked, looking at Diaochan, who was sitting on the small stool with her arms wrapped around her knees, her figure thin and frail.

Diaochan, who had almost buried her head between her knees, looked up with a pair of curious, large eyes, examining Duan Yu, and then nodded.

Perhaps because they had been chatting for a while.

Diaochan was no longer as shy and timid as before.

At the very least, she dared to look directly at Duan Yu.

Those beautiful eyes she raised were extremely pretty.

They seemed to sparkle with curiosity as if they could speak.

"Yes, but unfortunately, my aunt's health is poor. Mr. Zhang in the village said that if there is no medicine... I'm afraid..."

"I originally wanted to take the cornelian cherries I picked in winter to the city to trade for some medicine."

"But... but they were all taken by my uncle to trade for wine..."

Speaking of this, Diaochan's eyes turned red, and tears seemed to be welling up.

Good grief. ===== CHAPTER 5 =====
