252: Chapter 252: Brother Can Heal Wounds, But Hard to Heal the Heart!

I’m lost!

Wu Jie fell into deep thought, unsure whether he should heal Tang Xiao or not.

After spending so many days together, aside from their fake marriage collaboration, they could also be considered friends.

Tang Xiao seemed domineering and assertive, yet she was also wise and honest.

Without her, he would still be a nobody at the bottom of society.

Working overtime for a meager salary, squeezing into buses and subways, living in a divided rental, eating cheap meals…

If it weren’t for her, even with the system, what could he have done?

Birds of a feather flock together; people are sorted into groups.

How could a no-name possibly incite hatred from billionaires?

Without the opportunity to interact with higher echelons, there was no way to quickly accumulate energy points by attracting hatred!

Nor would there have been chances to take advantage of various opportunities to amass a fortune worth tens of billions.

In summary.

The system gave Wu Jie the ability to change his fate, and Tang Xiao gave him the opportunity.

“One should be kind-hearted!”

Facing Tang Xiao’s hopeful gaze, Wu Jie nodded heavily.

“Can you really heal me?

My God!”

Tang Xiao’s eyes widened in astonishment, suddenly a bit dazed, looking incredibly incredulous.

Wu Jie said, “I guarantee it with my life that I can definitely heal you, but the cost is not small!”

“Never mind what you ask me to do, I am willing!” Tang Xiao was so excited that she immediately stood up: “Even if it means living ten or twenty years less, I don’t care!”

Wu Jie raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, “You’re willing to sacrifice years of your life, is it that important to you?”

Tang Xiao spoke urgently:

“Maybe it’s because my dad raised me like a boy since I was young, so I absolutely love sports.

Armed cross-country, obstacle course runs, wilderness survival, armed swimming, mixed martial arts, and so on—what others find exhausting and tough, I enjoy immensely!”

“The more dangerous it is, the more excited I get.

Therefore, before I was discharged, I volunteered for many missions, having experienced all sorts of dangers and difficulties, but I never shrank back because I was addicted to it and thoroughly relished it!”

“Do you know how long it took for me to adjust my mindset after being injured and discharged?

Do you know how much I yearn to be healed, to be able to don my uniform again, to train, fight, and undertake various challenging missions?”

“Moreover, I still have a vendetta to avenge, and countless times in my midnight dreams, I curse at this useless body!”

“Sometimes I even fantasize about tearing open my flesh, pulling apart my vertebrae, and removing the bullet myself, so I could be back to jumping around, once again the female War King shouting commands at the barracks!”

…

Tang Xiao was particularly excited, almost dancing with gestures as she expressed her inner longing.

Wu Jie could understand.

Everyone has their own hobbies and interests.

Some people like playing games or sports, some like smoking, playing cards, chasing girls, some like racing and outdoor travel…

When something becomes an addiction, even an inseparable part of one’s life, quitting becomes very difficult.

Ask a chain smoker to quit smoking?

A lifelong drunk to give up alcohol?

An addict to stop using drugs?

Once someone gets addicted, once it becomes a habit, it’s really hard to change.

With billions of people in the world, it isn’t strange to come across someone like Tang Xiao addicted to being a soldier, a War King.

After listening to Tang Xiao’s statement, Wu Jie wiped his mouth with a piece of paper.

“Don’t be so excited, sit down.

Eat while you listen to me!”

Tang Xiao sat down, somewhat skeptical.

She continued eating while keeping a close eye on Wu Jie.

“Why are you staring at me?

I’m your husband, even if…

in name only, but I’m not going to run away!”

Wu Jie lit a cigarette, squinting as he sized up Tang Xiao.

Clear brows, attractive eyes.

There was a certain heroism in her brows, and her sparkling eyes were particularly expressive.

Her skin wasn’t the sickly pale that comes from delicate care, but instead was healthy-looking, at a glance both smooth and elastic.

As for physique, knowledge, ability, personality…

these are not important for now!

After all, this is an era that judges by appearance!

“Hey, are you going to say something?

Why are you staring at me like that, with a perverted look on your face?”

Tang Xiao picked at her rice and hummed, “If you really can heal me, I might as well offer myself in return!”

“Isn’t there a romantic internet saying?

‘As long as you never leave me, I’ll stay with you through life and death!'”

“To be honest, I don’t even know what kind of man I like.

After you’ve healed me, I promise to be faithful and never make you wear the green hat, and be obedient to you.”

“Don’t think I’m dull and have no sense of romance.

My acting is not bad, and I’m smart and eager to learn.

Just pick any movie from your computer hard drive and I’m sure I can mimic it.”

Cough cough cough~

Wu Jie was instantly struck by her words, coughing nonstop from the smoke.

“Damn it!

As the saying goes, ‘You are influenced by the company you keep.’ Tang Xin is a wild and crazy girl, and you haven’t learned well from her!”

Tang Xiao snorted with a laugh:

“What do you mean by not learning well?

This is called being open-minded!”

“What era is it now?

Why pretend to be prudish?

We Tang family people don’t do that!”

“On the other hand, if you can heal, just say so.

What are your conditions?

Why beat around the bush?”

Wu Jie flicked the ash off his cigarette and smiled:

“I did say I could heal you, but there are three conditions…”

“Don’t just say three, even three hundred I’ll agree to!” Tang Xiao immediately interjected enthusiastically.

Wu Jie snorted coldly, “Listen to the end first!”

“Go ahead!

I am all ears and won’t interrupt!”

Tang Xiao set down her cutlery, her expression extremely serious.

“First, after being healed, you must keep it absolutely secret.

Other than the two of us, no third person, including your father, should know.”

“You also have to be as low-profile as possible in your daily life, don’t let anyone know you’ve recovered!”

No sooner had Wu Jie finished speaking than Tang Xiao retorted.

“Keeping it secret is fine; not telling anyone is also fine, but I have to return to the military.

Once I start training, how could people not know that I’ve recovered?”

Wu Jie smiled and said, “That’s why the second condition is that you can’t go back to being War King.

You can be an instructor and give advice, but you can’t personally participate in training, and you definitely can’t show off your abilities by taking part in combat missions.

In short, you can’t let others know you’ve healed!”

“No way!

If I can’t participate in training and missions, what’s the use of healing my old injury?

I’d still be the same as I am now, like a useless person.

What’s the point of that?”

Tang Xiao immediately made her stance clear, quite resolutely.

“In that case, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything tonight.

Clean up and go to bed early!”

Wu Jie stubbed out his cigarette and got up to leave.

Tang Xiao suddenly turned her head and asked curiously,

“And what’s your third condition?”

Wu Jie paused, giving a faint smile.

“If you can’t even accept the first two conditions, the third one…

do I still need to mention it?”

Tang Xiao smiled and said, “Just tell me.

Maybe after I think it over for a while, I might agree to it!”

Wu Jie shook his head with a wry smile:

“Before, you were the one insisting that you’d be willing to do anything, even to the point of living twenty years less.”

“Now, you won’t agree to two simple conditions and still want to think it over for a while.”

“Tell me, should I trust you?

Even if you agree to everything, I seriously doubt that you’ll keep your word!”

“Ha!

Women!”

With a scoff, Wu Jie sighed and walked away.

In an instant.

Tang Xiao sat in awkward silence, speechlessly.

She stared blankly as Wu Jie walked away, feeling dazed, as if she had missed something…
