Chapter 539: Chapter 539 So that was your purpose!_1 Chapter 539: Chapter 539 So that was your purpose!_1 Doctor Jiang had returned to the town first; ng Zhuqing only planned to head back to town after everything was settled with An Jing and Xiao Changyi and he was sure he wasn’t needed anymore.
But before returning to the town, ng Zhuqing carefully asked An Jing, “Madam, it’s even hotter in the county, and I’d like to share the thod of making ice with my elder brother so he can also use it to cool off. Is that alright?”
“Of course,” An Jing agreed without any hesitation. At the sa ti, she thought to herself that although ng Zhuqing was always bullied by ng Lanqing, he still cared a great deal about his elder brother.
“Thank you, Madam!” ng Zhuqing was very pleased.
After leaving An Jing and Xiao Changyi, ng Zhuqing returned to TipLiu Town. However, he did not stay there long as he mounted a fast horse and headed for Hecheng County.
By the ti ng Zhuqing arrived in the county, it was already dark, and An’s Rice Shop had closed for the night.
ng Zhuqing didn’t scale the wall but instead knocked loudly on the door of the rice shop, excitedly shouting, “Brother! Brother! Hurry up and open the door! I have great news to tell you!”
Soon, the Store Manager of the rice shop—ng Lanqing—opened the door.
As the door opened, ng Lanqing, with his noble and cool deanor, looked at his brother’s exceedingly ordinary face and said, “If you don’t have good news, I’ll beat you even harder than last ti.”
ng Zhuqing: “…” Would it still be too late to avoid telling his brother about the ice-making now?
So frustrating.
Not wanting to get beaten up, ng Zhuqing could only enter the rice shop while saying, “I’ve learned a thod for making ice from Madam, so you can make your own and not suffer from the heat.”
The mont ng Zhuqing said this, ng Lanqing, who had been walking away, imdiately turned around, his smile exceptionally captivating, and circled his brother’s shoulders with a very brotherly embrace, “What thod?”
ng Zhuqing was taken aback for a mont before he quickly replied, “It involves using saltpeter. I tried it today following Madam’s instructions, and I actually managed to make ice. Truly, it was ice, and I even ate two bowls of it.”
Then, ng Zhuqing held up a bag in his hand: “I’ve already bought you so saltpeter. I’ll tell you the steps, and you can start making ice.”
ng Lanqing did not inquire about the procedure for making ice, instead he called out to ng Zhuqing with a smile: “Zhuqing.”
ng Zhuqing’s scalp tingled for no reason, but still habitually responded, “Hmm?”
Suddenly, ng Lanqing pinched ng Zhuqing’s chin, examined his brother’s exceptionally ordinary face from left to right, and said with profound grief, “We were born from the sa pregnancy. Back when you were in our mother’s womb, couldn’t you have taken on so of this face for ? If you had, even just a little, I wouldn’t feel so humiliated now. How can you be such a brother? You didn’t share at all. Everyone mocks ; who has ever mocked you, hm?”
ng Zhuqing imdiately felt guilty, terribly so: “Brother, I…”
“Alright, I don’t need that from you. Just make sure you do a good job with the ice. Go on!” ng Lanqing even gave him a push. “I’m about to die from the heat in this wretched weather!”
ng Zhuqing: “…!!!” So that was his real intention!
Seeing ng Zhuqing standing still, ng Lanqing suddenly stepped closer again, “Zhuqing, touch your conscience, look at my face—”
ng Zhuqing didn’t wait for ng Lanqing to finish speaking and interrupted, “I’m going! I’ll make the ice for you right now!”
Damn it, he didn’t know how their mother did it, making their faces so utterly different from heaven to earth!
No wonder his brother always aid for his face when beating him!
