The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1203: Chapter 1203: They’re All Jealous

”Cough cough!”

Jiang Pan Die lightly coughed twice, and to avoid awkwardness, she switched topics and asked, ”Did you cook this congee?”

”Yes, how’s the taste?” Lin Tian asked somewhat proudly, he had full confidence in his culinary skills.

”It’s alright, could use improvement, keep it up.” Jiang Pan Die answered with a smile, gently blowing on the bowl of hot congee, feeling a bit impatient.

”Hmph.” Lin Tian snorted lightly. Women, they’re all creatures that say one thing but mean another!

”By the way...” Lin Tian hesitated.

”What?” Jiang Pan Die turned to look at Lin Tian.

”Does that outfit fit you? I guessed it by eye... it should be... about right?” Lin Tian, feeling guilty, spoke in a softer voice.

”Pfft~”

The hot congee that Jiang Pan Die just brought to her mouth sprayed onto Lin Tian.

”Mr. Lin Tian! Speak not while eating, rest quietly!”

Lin Tian seemed as if he hadn’t heard, glanced again at Jiang Pan Die’s chest, scratched his head and said, ”Ah, I see I underestimated a bit. Do you... think it’s tight? Should I have someone go buy more?”

”Shut up! Don’t ever speak of this again!”

...

After finishing a bowl of hot congee, Jiang Pan Die patted her round belly, feeling as if she had regained some strength, at least not as feeble as she was before.

”Now, can you take me to see Tong?”

Lin Tian smiled and shook his head, ”No need, she’s in the courtyard next door. I can have someone bring her in.”

”Right next door?” Jiang Pan Die glared angrily at Lin Tian, ”Then why didn’t you have her come see me earlier?”

”Bringing her over takes time, besides, I’m afraid if you saw her, the congee won’t taste as delicious as it did earlier.” Lin Tian said with a smile.

Jiang Pan Die stood up, moved quickly and said, ”No need to bring her, I’ll go see her!”

Although she’d just recovered some physical strength, her body was still weak, moving slowly was fine, but moving quickly was unsteady.

Lin Tian quickly caught up and supported her arm, scolding, ”Why are you still so impatient? Forgot you nearly fell just now? I’ll help you walk there!”

Jiang Pan Die glanced at Lin Tian, ultimately saying nothing. Though the action was a bit intimate... but this guy wasn’t really annoying.

Upon opening the door, Jiang Pan Die saw two extremely beautiful women, no less attractive or gracious than herself.

One wore white robes, like a fairy, currently performing a sword dance in the courtyard, with green light radiating all around, the chilling aura could be felt even from afar.

The other woman sat under the warmth of the sun, holding a book under the tree, leisurely absorbed in reading, filled with scholarly air.

The scene seemed bizarre, yet harmonious.

She put down the book, walked over with a smile and asked, ”Miss Jiang, let me introduce myself, I am Zhao Qingtang, an ancient doctor, your body right now is not suitable for going out.”

”Thank you for your concern, Dr. Zhao, but I have very important business, don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.” Jiang Pan Die said.

Zhao Qingtang glanced at Lin Tian, lightly stating, ”You two patients really share a temper, both eager to go out even when not fully recovered.”

Lin Tian smiled awkwardly.

”Ah?” Jiang Pan Die asked in surprise, ”What’s wrong with Lin Tian?”

”Him?” Zhao Qingtang glanced at Lin Tian again and replied, ”His injuries are much more severe than yours, without proper rest for half a year, he won’t fully recover. But seeing him supporting you now, he seems fine.”

”So serious? Is it... because of me?”

Zhao Qingtang shrugged and said, ”He was brought here with you, I don’t know exactly what happened, but likely yes.”

Lin Tian had a face full of bitter smiles, what’s this girl up to?

Jiang Pan Die felt a mix of emotions in her heart, suddenly realizing she owed Lin Tian too much, not to mention, he still offered acupuncture and cooked congee for her while badly injured, making her uneasy.

”Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as Qingtang says, I’m fine.” Lin Tian smiled, ”See, I’m lively as ever!”

”What a show-off!” Zhao Qingtang glared at Lin Tian with annoyed warmth, tossed her ponytail, and left angrily.

”She...”

”Never mind her, I’ll explain to her later. I’ll take you to Tong, she’s in the courtyard next door, I’ve arranged for someone to watch over.” Lin Tian said.

Jiang Pan Die looked at Lin Tian with a complex expression and said, ”Why don’t you go rest? I can go alone.”

”That won’t do, I’m not comfortable letting you go alone. Besides, walking a bit more is good for me.”

”But...”

”No buts, it’s just a few steps anyway.” Lin Tian said with a smile.

”Alright.” Jiang Pan Die exhaled deeply, said, ”Thank you.”

Jiang Pan Die’s steps were small to begin with, now knowing Lin Tian’s condition was worse than hers, she walked even slower.

After leaving the courtyard, Jiang Pan Die could still hear the sound of Xu Xianrong’s sword dance, with the sword qi whistling in the air.

”Hey~ Lin Tian.” Jiang Pan Die whispered quietly.

”What’s up?”

Jiang Pan Die took a guilty look back, whispered, ”Isn’t Dr. Zhao fond of you?”

Lin Tian laughed immediately, ”Why do you say that?”

”She wasn’t happy when she saw you supporting me, she’s jealous!”

Lin Tian gave a bitter smile and said, ”Don’t talk nonsense, there’s nothing like that. We’re just friends.”

”You can’t feel it? You’re too oblivious!”

”...”

”Besides, the pretty lady performing the sword dance seems jealous too.” Jiang Pan Die’s voice got quieter, like she feared being overheard.

This time, Lin Tian couldn’t even muster a bitter smile, shook his head repeatedly and said, ”That’s even less likely! How could you say that?”

”Didn’t you see when she was sword dancing in the courtyard, she carried killing intent? I felt like that killing intent was aimed at me.”

”This is getting more and more ridiculous.”

Zhao Qingtang’s feelings were something Lin Tian could sense, so Jiang Pan Die’s words made some sense. But as for Xu Xianrong... that was too far-fetched, right? Although he flirted with her a few times, she was Miaoqiu and Ruyan’s aunt, a generational gap, wouldn’t be that crazy?

”Really! Why don’t you believe it?” As she said this, Jiang Pan Die shifted her tone, sighed lightly and said, ”Also, that sister is as beautiful as a fairy, why would she like you?”

Lin Tian was immediately displeased, he let go of Jiang Pan Die’s hand, jumped in front of her, pointed to his face and asked sternly, ”Look closely, am I not handsome?!”

”You are quite handsome, but...”

”But what?”

”Your vibe doesn’t match with that of the fairy-like sister at all.”

”...” That was quite an indirect expression.
