Chapter 9 Coming Out

Xu Xiaoting pouted, her face a picture of sullenness.

"Hey, you can't just say things like that. You know it was an accident, right?"

Chen Xiaolong's mouth twitched; he hadn't expected this little girl to be so observant, to actually catch him out.

But it was merely an accident.

"Whatever, you saw them. I don't care if it was an accident or not, hehe, brother, actually my chest isn't that small either. When they get a bit bigger, how about I show them to you every day, would that be nice?"

Xu Xiaoting turned to look behind her, then suddenly leaned forward and gently blew into Chen Xiaolong's ear.

Although she was young, her body was developing quite nicely. Given time, it might not be impossible for her to surpass Auntie's figure.

"Hmm, okay, ah, no, not okay, what's okay about that, you little imp, you've got me all confused. Hurry back home now."

"Lalalala."

Xu Xiaoting made a face, then finally returned to her house.

Chen Xiaolong shook his head helplessly, unable to deal with this mischievous little girl.

However, since Chen Xiaolong came back home, Xu Xiaoting seemed a lot happier, following him around all the time, never leaving his side.

"This little girl, well, let's go check out the clinic first. At worst, I'll just come home early every day."

Chen Xiaolong shook his head, actually understanding Xu Xiaoting's wishes, hoping for more companionship.

After checking in at the clinic, Chen Xiaolong quickly threw himself into his work, which mainly consisted of two things: treating patients and gathering herbs in the mountain behind.

Dahe Village was nestled among towering mountains and peaks, with the mountain behind harboring wolves, tigers, and leopards, an untouched natural environment.

Thus, many medicinal herbs grew in the mountain, usually harvested by veteran doctors familiar with their properties.

In the past, Uncle Zhang would occasionally venture into the mountain, but as he aged, his legs grew less agile, and he inevitably gave up the task of gathering herbs.

The newcomer, Chen Xiaolong, naturally took over the chore.

"This honeysuckle plant looks good, take it, and also gather those other herbs over there."

After half a day in the mountain, Chen Xiaolong had a substantial harvest, with his basket almost full.

But the mountain was like a vast treasure trove, inexhaustible and limitless.

Based on the quantity of the collected herbs, they should be enough for several months' use.

"That's about enough for now, time to head back."

Chen Xiaolong glanced again at his basket, placing it in front of him to count the herbs.

The collection comprised some common herbs, yet it also included many valuable wild medicinal materials.

For ordinary diseases, these herbs would be quite sufficient.

Hoisting the basket onto his back, Chen Xiaolong began descending the mountain.

The sky had gradually darkened, and by the time he returned to Dahe Village, the clinic was likely to have closed and stopped seeing patients.

With Chen Xiaolong absent, the clinic had slowed down significantly that afternoon.

Yet Uncle Zhang could still manage alone, without too big of a problem.

"Hey, what's that?"

Just then, Chen Xiaolong's eyes brightened as he suddenly spotted someone by the side of the road up ahead.

Dressed in white, the person seemed to have had an accident, lying unconscious by the roadside, completely motionless.

"Hey, wake up."

Chen Xiaolong quickly approached; as a doctor, he couldn't just leave someone to die.

But no matter how much he called out, it was like casting a stone into the sea – the white figure remained still.

"Weird, there's a pulse but it's a bit erratic. There are some scrapes on the back, but they're not too serious. Has she fainted? There's no head injury, right?"

On closer inspection, Chen Xiaolong realized the person was an extremely beautiful woman.

She was tall and slender, with bright, clear eyes and white teeth, her delicate face complemented by exquisite features. Her full and shapely chest inadvertently induced fantasies.

Such a stunning beauty was rare. She looked to be in her twenties, dressed in white.

Just by her looks, only a younger Auntie could be compared to her.

However, the woman's top was torn, revealing her strikingly white and large breasts.
