Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

The girl's face showed a hint of suppressed pain, and fine beads of sweat seemed to be seeping from her forehead.

He looked closely and realized that it was Bai Ying, their newly appointed homeroom teacher.

Chen Wenqi quickly slowed down and rode slowly to the girl's side, asking with concern, "Teacher Bai, what happened to you? Why are you limping?"

Bai Ying turned around upon hearing the voice, and seeing that it was Chen Wenqi, she quickly forced a slightly forced smile and said softly, "Oh, it's classmate Chen Wenqi."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "My bicycle chain suddenly fell off, and I lost my balance and fell. It's nothing serious, it's alright."

Chen Wenqi's gaze fell on her slightly swollen ankle, and his tone instantly became serious: "Your ankle looks quite badly injured."

He frowned and said, "I'd better take you to the hospital for a proper check-up, so you don't develop any chronic illness."

"No, no, it was just a slight twist."

Bai Ying quickly waved her hand to refuse, looking as if she didn't want to trouble others too much, "I'll just apply some safflower oil when I get home."

"Then can I take you home?"

Chen Wenqi made a straightforward suggestion, his tone carrying an undeniable certainty: "How can you walk in your current condition? Get in my car first."

"But... what about my bicycle?"

Bai Ying looked troubled, her tone hesitant, clearly worried about the lone vehicle. "We can't just leave it here, can we?"

"Don't worry, it's perfectly stable with me holding it with one hand."

As Chen Wenqi spoke, he deftly propped up his bicycle.

He then reached out and firmly held onto Bai Ying's bicycle, gesturing for her to sit sideways on the back of his seat. "Please sit down slowly and carefully, and be careful not to touch your injury."

As soon as the car started, Bai Ying bumped lightly into Chen Wenqi's back due to inertia.

A faint blush spread across her cheeks, and even her ears felt slightly hot.

Chen Wenqi also clearly felt a soft touch against his back, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: I didn't expect Teacher Bai to look so slender, but she has such a great figure. What a pity.

He suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard before, that bastard named Gao Yi seemed to have been having ulterior motives towards Teacher Bai.

Thinking about it this way, I should probably try to help this kind-hearted and beautiful teacher.

Although Bai Ying had only recently taken over as their class's homeroom teacher, the time the teacher and students had spent together was still short.

After several interactions, Chen Wenqi genuinely felt that this teacher was impeccable in his conduct and dealings with others, exuding sincerity and gentleness in every aspect.

"Turn into that alley ahead, and walk a few more steps to my house."

Bai Ying spoke softly behind him, pointing out the way, afraid that her words might disturb Chen Wenqi who was riding his bicycle.

Chen Wenqi adjusted his riding direction as instructed and rode steadily forward.

Before long, the two arrived together in the depths of Nanluoguxiang, in front of a house with a private courtyard.

Chen Wenqi neatly stopped the two bicycles and quickly stepped forward to help Bai Ying.

He gently reminded him, "Teacher, please walk slowly and watch your step."

After a brief pause, he added, "Let me treat your wound for a bit. I learned some basic medical skills from my mother, which might come in handy."

"You even know medicine?"

A genuine surprise flashed in Bai Ying's eyes, then she smiled warmly, "This is truly unexpected."

"It's just a skill passed down from my ancestors. I've only learned a little bit of it, so I can't be considered a medical expert."

As Chen Wenqi spoke, he carefully helped her and slowly led her into the house.

He gently helped Bai Ying sit down in a chair, then looked around the room carefully.

The room was clean and bright, with sparkling windows and spotless furniture, exuding a warm and tranquil atmosphere.

The layout of the detached courtyard looks elegant and comfortable, and the conditions are quite good.

"Teacher, where do you keep your safflower oil?"

He turned to look at Bai Ying, who was sitting in the chair, and asked softly, "I'll go get it for you right away."

"It's in the middle drawer. Thank you for your help, Chen Wenqi."

Bai Ying pointed to the desk at the back and answered softly.

Chen Wenqi stepped forward, reached out and opened the drawer, and sure enough, he saw a bottle of safflower oil lying quietly inside.

He immediately took out the safflower oil and turned back to Bai Ying's side.

"Teacher, please bear with it for a moment."

He deliberately lowered his voice and spoke softly, then carefully bent down to take off Bai Ying's shoes and socks. "It might hurt a little when we treat the wound later."

That fair and slender ankle was now swollen high, with a particularly noticeable red mark on it.

The bluish-purple bruises were faintly visible, a sight that was quite alarming.

Chen Wenqi extended his fingertip and gently pressed the wound.

Bai Ying gasped in pain, her delicate brows furrowing tightly.

"Thankfully, no bones were broken."

"If you trust me, teacher, I'll give you a few acupuncture needles right now. The swelling will go down in about ten minutes. After the acupuncture, I'll apply some safflower oil, and you'll be able to walk normally tomorrow."

Chen Wenqi looked up at Bai Ying and spoke with a firm tone.

"Is it really that effective?"

Bai Ying looked on with a skeptical expression, and blinked her clear, bright eyes.

"Don't worry, you'll see when I perform the acupuncture."

Chen Wenqi gave her a gentle smile, then took off his backpack and took out a neatly folded sewing kit.

He slowly unfolded the needle case, revealing rows of slender silver needles arranged neatly and orderly.

When Bai Ying saw this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly—she really didn't expect that Chen Wenqi would even carry acupuncture instruments with him.

At this moment, Chen Wenqi's expression was focused and serious, and his eyes showed a meticulous seriousness. He first picked up an alcohol swab and carefully wiped and disinfected each silver needle.

Bai Ying gazed at his earnest and focused profile, her thoughts drifting away: How could there be such a handsome boy in the world? His brows exuded a heroic spirit, yet he also possessed the unique sunny vitality of youth, and his whole being radiated a calm and confident aura.

In a few years, this child will grow into a handsome young man, and who knows how many young girls he will charm...

Unfortunately, he was his teacher and was several generations older than him, with an insurmountable gap between them.

"Oh dear, what am I even thinking about...?"

Bai Ying felt her cheeks flush, and a blush rose in her heart that was hard to describe.

However, when she got close to Chen Wenqi just now, the refreshing and clean masculine aura he exuded made it difficult for her to calm down and caused her to lose her composure.

"Teacher, please be patient for a little longer."

"During the acupuncture session, it might be a little itchy and painful, but don't worry, you'll feel much better once the pain subsides."

While Chen Wenqi was concentrating on preparing the needles, he explained them to Bai Ying in a low voice.

Bai Ying's cheeks instantly turned even redder—why did these words have such a suggestive meaning?

What does it mean to "feel better after the pain"?

This kid is so young, yet he always manages to say things that are so easy to misunderstand...

But then she looked at Chen Wenqi's serious and earnest expression and realized that she might have misunderstood. He was clearly just talking about serious acupuncture matters.

Chen Wenqi's technique was steady and skillful, and his movements were swift and decisive as he precisely inserted several silver needles into the acupoints around her ankle.

At first, there was indeed a sharp stinging pain, but soon a warm current slowly flowed over the wound, and the previous swelling and soreness gradually subsided.

Chen Wenqi carefully lifted Bai Ying's feet, took a clean towel from the side and placed it under her feet, and then gently placed her feet on the edge of the table.

Bai Ying felt that he was so considerate and thoughtful, and she couldn't help but think to herself: If I could have such a gentle and reliable boyfriend, the future would be pretty good...

Alas, it's a pity he's still too young, just a half-grown child.

If Chen Wenqi were already eighteen years old and a real adult, I might actually be able to muster up the courage to try to get closer to him.

Chen Wenqi glanced up unintentionally and happened to meet Bai Ying's gaze, which was fixed on him.

Her cheeks were flushed with a faint blush, and her eyes shimmered with a soft glow. She was so beautiful that it made one's heart flutter slightly.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: such a beautiful and gentle teacher, I wonder what kind of person she will marry in the future to be worthy of her.

"Teacher, do you usually live alone at home?"

Chen Wenqi asked casually, hoping to lighten the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

"My parents live elsewhere, but this place is close to the school, making it more convenient for me to commute to and from get off work."

Bai Ying smiled gently and answered softly.

"This location is indeed quite convenient, but when you go home, you should try to take the main road with more people and be more careful to ensure your safety."

Chen Wenqi gave his earnest instructions.

"What do you mean by that?"

A deep sense of doubt surfaced in Bai Ying's eyes, and she asked in bewilderment.

"There are some shady characters hiding in Beijing who love to stake out and wait in those quiet alleys."

"If someone saw such a beautiful girl like you walking alone, they might have some bad intentions."

Chen Wenqi spoke earnestly, his voice filled with worry.

"Pfft."

Bai Ying couldn't help but cover her lips with her palm and chuckle, teasingly saying, "You're so young, yet you're thinking about so many trivial things, like a little adult."
