Chapter 28 Big Brother is So Handsome
"Ahem... Is anyone home?"
Upon being discharged from the hospital, Moonlight Gale rushed to the clinic in Ningxia. He already knew that Xi Yan didn't like him, so of course he wouldn't bother her anymore.
But... no matter what, they are still good friends, and he hopes that Xiyan can find a good home.
"They're here."
Ningxia has a horse talisman that is not afraid of cold or heat, unlike others who feel like they are being devoured by a kotatsu monster when they crawl into a kotatsu.
As she rose to greet the guest, Ningxia looked at the sickly man in front of her and concluded that this was a problem he had developed in childhood.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Although she already knew how to treat it, Ningxia still asked questions as usual, and Moonlight Gale told her how she had developed the illness in her childhood and how uncomfortable she was now.
Accompanied by the incessant coughing, Yugao, who was peeling oranges for Naruko and Shira, recognized the sound and reluctantly left the kotatsu, heading from the living room to the clinic.
"Swift Wind? You've finally come to find Ningxia?"
Xi Yan greeted her old friend. She had witnessed Ningxia's numerous miraculous cures during this period, and therefore had great confidence in Ningxia's medical skills.
She was initially upset that Jifeng didn't trust Ningxia, and was even thinking of urging him to come and see for himself, so that he could go back to his family to promote Ningxia and bring in more business.
Although she didn't think Ningxia was short of money, it would be best if there were business opportunities!
"Yes... because you said... cough cough cough! This miracle doctor... cough cough cough... so I came..."
Moonlight Gale forced a smile, noticing that Xiyan's gaze had never left Ningxia, and thus understood the situation.
Ningxia had intended to just take a quick look and leave, but then she suddenly spoke up: "It's not a big problem. Do you want to recuperate or have surgery?"
"Can it be cured?"
From childhood to adulthood, Moonlight Gale has seen countless famous doctors, all of whom expressed that they could not help him.
Although Ningxia was renowned, Moonlight Gale still felt that he was not very reliable.
He's too young. He looks to be only in his early twenties, probably not much older than me. Can such a young man really compare to Lady Tsunade, who is over fifty?
"Of course, there's no doubt about it. I used to be Tsunade's student; she's my older sister."
Ningxia explained with a smile that in the past, many patients who received treatment did not really believe him, but as soon as they heard Tsunade, they would become skeptical.
"Then...how about recuperating?"
Ningxia casually prepared some medicine for Gekko Hayate, all of which were tonics. Gekko Hayate's problem was very serious, and even Tsunade couldn't help her.
But Ningxia has a horse talisman. If you mix the power of the horse talisman into it and Moonlight Gale keeps taking it, he will gradually recover.
"How much does it cost?"
At this moment, Moonlight Gale just wanted to escape from here as quickly as possible, especially after seeing Xiyan behind Ningxia.
Those eyes, almost sharp enough to draw out threads, were fixed on Ningxia, as if they were sharp knives piercing his heart.
"Since you're Xiyan's friend, then it'll be cost price, three million taels."
Ningxia casually mentioned a number, which was very expensive, but it was due to the divine power of the horse talisman. If the other party wasn't Xiyan's friend, he would usually start at five million.
Moonlight Gale nearly coughed to death on the spot. How much?! An S-rank mission starts at one million taels, and Ningxia just casually asks for three S-rank missions?
"You can try it out first, and then decide whether you want it or not tomorrow."
Ningxia is very easygoing; he doesn't make money from his clinic anyway, and now it's more of a hobby for him.
"I will have my family present the money later."
Moonlight Gale pondered, deciding to consider it an advance payment to Xiyan, and left with the medicine.
Before leaving, Moonlight Gale suddenly said, "I wish you happiness," which completely caught Ningxia off guard. Meanwhile, Xiyan, who was standing next to her, realized what was happening and blushed as she hid away.
The next day, Ningxia prepared to stock up on some ingredients and called Kakashi and Yugao to go out.
Even in the season of heavy snowfall, Muye remains bustling with activity, with vendors and pedestrians coming and going. Ningxia, meanwhile, is planning what ingredients to buy and occasionally asks the two women if there's anything they particularly want to eat.
Suddenly, a voice came from afar. Ningxia looked over and saw that it was the woman who had accused Mingzi of stealing things last time. This time, she was yelling at a little girl with blue and white hair.
"Are you blind? Can't you even see where you're going? Didn't your parents teach you...?"
In short, it's as dirty as it gets.
Ningxia originally didn't want to get involved, but that woman really annoyed her, so she just went up and kicked her.
"Who dares to kick me?! My son is a Chunin! I..."
Upon seeing Ningxia, the woman immediately paused, remembering the experience of Ningxia having escorted her inside.
However, because she was imprisoned in the police force at the time, she missed Danzo's great purge.
As a result, he had just been released from prison and was thinking of using staged accidents to raise some start-up capital when he ran into Ningxia again.
The little girl opposite was clearly terrified, her eyes closed and at a loss for what to do. Only after Ningxia kicked the woman over did she timidly speak:
"I...I have no eyes...and...my father just passed away this year..."
Upon hearing the little girl's explanation, the onlookers couldn't help but stare at the woman with disgust.
"I remember... those who slander and mistreat the daughter of a hero are fined, imprisoned, and exiled, right? You're one of those who slipped through the net."
Ningxia gave Xiyan a wink, and Xiyan immediately understood, grabbing the woman and heading to the Dark Division.
"Are you alright, little sister?"
Ningxia asked softly. Although the white-haired little girl couldn't see, she felt Ningxia's voice was very warm and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
"That's good, your eyes..."
Ningxia was shocked to see that the little girl in front of him had her eyes removed right after birth. He wondered what kind of experience she had gone through to do such a thing.
"I was born without eyes..."
The little girl had pale skin and blue-white hair, and looked as exquisite as a living doll.
"Is that so...?"
Ningxia didn't want to pursue the matter too much, so he asked where her family was, saying he might be able to give them a ride along the way.
"My home... I'll go back by myself."
When talking about her family, the little girl seemed a bit guilty and didn't want Ningxia to know.
"Okay, then you can go back by yourself, right?"
"Um!"
"Gurgle~"
Suddenly a gurgling sound came from nearby. The little girl was a bit shy. Ningxia thought she was so cute, so she simply invited her to Ichiraku Ramen, which was not far away.
"It smells so good... What is this?"
Although she has no eyes, this little girl has long been accustomed to the darkness, sitting on a stool like a normal person, smelling the aroma of ramen and swallowing her saliva.
Ningxia found it strange. The little girl in front of her clearly didn't come from a normal background, yet she seemed completely clueless about everything.
The little girl quickly finished a whole bowl of ramen. She felt a strong sense of kindness from Ningxia. Perhaps... after destroying this world, she could leave this older brother behind?
As they parted, the little girl told Ningxia that her name was "Sheren".
Goodbye, Brother Ningxia!
The little girl waved goodbye to Ningxia, but even Kakashi didn't notice the light that flashed between her forehead.
Big brother...you're so handsome...
