Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

Chapter 81: Little Uncle, Do You Think I Am a Monster?

Tan Mo had something to ask Wei Zhiqian. She didn’t want to have any of her family members present.

“Little Uncle.” Tan Mo entered the room, but she didn’t immediately run over when she saw Wei Zhiqian.

She stood a certain distance away from him between the door and the hospital bed.

“Why are you standing so far away?” Wei Zhiqian had been sitting up reading a book. Now he put down his book, sat up straight, and stretched out his hand toward Tan Mo, saying, “You only left yesterday, but you’re already treating me like a stranger?”

Tan Mo was nervous, and her heart was beating extremely fast.

She walked up to Wei Zhiqian and stood there obediently.

Wei Zhiqian raised his eyebrows. Although Tan Mo had always been well-behaved, she had never seemed as nervous as she was now, as if she had done something wrong.

Wei Zhiqian could vaguely guess why she was acting like this.

“Little Uncle, how is your injury coming along?” Tan Mo asked.

“Quite well. The wound has healed very well, and even when I make large movements, it doesn’t bleed.” Wei Zhiqian’s injury was still bandaged, and there was no way for him to show Tan Mo.

At this time, Butler Zhou came in. “Young Master, it’s time to change your bandages.”

Yesterday, he hadn’t been on guard yet, so the doctor and nurse had seen that his injury had recovered unusually quickly.

Although it had only been seen by two people, Wei Zhiqian still became cautious.

Since it was now practically healed, the task of changing the bandage had been given to Butler Zhou.

Even for the removal of the stitches, Wei Zhiqian had no plans to use outsiders.

Butler Zhou cut the bandage, and Tan Mo reflexively stretched out her hand to touch the wound near Wei Zhiqian’s shoulder.

If she could send some more energy to Wei Zhiqian today, Wei Zhiqian would be all healed very soon.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch his wound, her wrist was suddenly grasped by Wei Zhiqian.

Tan Mo exclaimed, “Little Uncle?”

“Wait a second. Don’t touch it.” Wei Zhiqian gave her a warning.

The look in Wei Zhiqian’s eyes was similar to when Tan Mo had occasionally been distracted when she was practicing calligraphy and she’d doodled and had been caught by Wei Zhiqian when she was a child.

Tan Mo didn’t dare to move. With her hands behind her back, she stood aside obediently with her head lowered like a student who has made a mistake.

“What are you doing standing there like that? I’m not punishing you.” Wei Zhiqian patted the chair beside the bed and said, “Come and sit.”

“Oh, okay.” Tan Mo sat down obediently.

Butler Zhou changed Wei Zhiqian’s bandage.

Because the wound had healed well, there was no need to bandage it as tightly as yesterday.

Otherwise, since the weather was hot, it would feel suffocating.

Then Butler Zhou packed up his things and went out, leaving them alone.

“Don’t do this again in the future.” Wei Zhiqian looked serious.

“Little Uncle, what do you mean?” Tan Mo blinked her big eyes as she looked at Wei Zhiqian innocently.

“Don’t play dumb with me.” Wei Zhiqian raised his hand to flick the top of her head, but the thought of her flushed face during her high fever yesterday made him reluctant to act.

Wei Zhiqian retracted his hand and simply said clearly, “You wanted to touch my wound just now. Wasn’t it because you wanted to continue to heal me?”

“Little Uncle, you…” Tan Mo had guessed that Wei Zhiqian might have figured out her secret.

But hearing him say it out in the open now, Tan Mo still paled in shock.

Wei Zhiqian sighed and said, “With so many coincidences together, how could I not figure it out? Every time you are around, no matter how stubborn a chronic illness is, it’s cured.”

Tan Mo lowered her head, so he couldn’t see her expression clearly.

The part of her face that was visible looked extremely pale.

Wei Zhiqian got up, walked over to her, squatted down, and raised his head slightly so that he could see her face.

“Were you afraid of being found out by me?”

What was she afraid of?

Afraid of being used?

“Little Uncle, do you think I am a monster?” Tan Mo had tears in her eyes. She looked at Wei Zhiqian timidly and said, “Although my photographic memory is rare, there are so many geniuses in the world, and it isn’t uncommon. But my ability to heal people without using any medical methods is very strange indeed.

She whispered, “This is different.”

Wei Zhiqian relaxed. It turned out that this was what she was afraid of.

Wei Zhiqian chuckled while squeezing Tan Mo’s small face.

After being squeezed by him twice, Tan Mo’s pale little face finally got a little color back.

After one half of her face had been restored to color, Wei Zhiqian eagerly turned toward the other side and squeezed it too.

Suddenly, Tan Mo’s small face had a symmetrical blush, which made her look much more attractive.

Tan Mo: “…”

Tan Mo stopped being worried. Wei Zhiqian didn’t see her as a monster at all.

She looked at Wei Zhiqian very resentfully.

What was he doing squeezing her face?

“What’s the matter?” Wei Zhiqian raised his eyebrows. “Actually, I’ve never told you about the Patriarchs of the Eight Great Clans.”

Tan Mo thought, do the Patriarchs of the Eight Great Clans have anything to do with her?

“What determines who becomes a Patriarch of the Eight Great Clans isn’t capability.” Wei Zhiqian maintained his squatting posture as he explained, “It is determined by who the Patriarch ability awakens in.”

Wei Zhiqian tilted his head.

Tan Mo: “…”

Unexpectedly, Wei Zhiqian would act cute out of the blue.

“The Patriarchs have a variety of abilities. For example, Qin Mufeng has excellent eyesight, and he can see things miles away. I have excellent hearing that I can control myself. When I want to listen, I can use my abilities to hear things miles away,” Wei Zhiqian said.

“What if the abilities awaken in someone who is mediocre, or if the abilities awaken in someone like Wei Keli?” Tan Mo couldn’t help worrying.

Wei Zhiqian was stunned for a second. He hadn’t expected Tan Mo to think of this, rather than being pleasantly surprised because there were actually many people like her.

It turned out that Wei Keli’s position in Tan Mo’s heart was very low.

For some reason, Wei Zhiqian felt very happy about this. It put him in a good mood.

“I don’t know whether it is because a person who these abilities can awaken in can’t be mediocre, or because only very exceptional people who can reach a certain level of excellence can awaken the abilities, but, in short, the Eight Great Clans are lucky. Those who the abilities awaken in are very exceptional themselves and receive the most top-notch nurturing from their clans, so they never turn out to be that bad.

“But I would never think of you as a monster, since we are the same.” Wei Zhiqian’s eyes had a soft expression and his voice had gotten very gentle.

We are the same.

She was the same as Wei Zhiqian.

This realization made Tan Mo overjoyed.

“You were worried that I would actually think of you as a monster?” Wei Zhiqian was really curious about what Tan Mo was thinking in her little head.
