Chapter Sixty: Thin Bamboo Pole

  "Is that so?" Chen Zhigang snorted, "Since you're so confident, why don't we make a bet?"

  "What's the bet?" Xia Tian asked casually.

  "We'll just bet on the simplest thing, shooting hoops!" Chen Zhigang looked at Xia Tian with disdain. "If you lose, don't think about Tingting again, dare to bet?"

  Shu Jing couldn't help but glance at Chen Zhigang, although she was quite familiar with him, but felt that he was a bit too much, the other person didn't know how to play basketball, yet he still made a bet on free throws with them, wasn't this just bullying?

  "But then Xia Tian retorted with a question: 'So, if you lose, will you stop bothering Xiang Yin in the future?'"

  "Not bad!" Chen Zhigang responded with his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart. How could he possibly lose? After all, what he was best at was shooting, and even professional players might not be his match.

  "Alright, although I don't like using my wife as a bet, but anyway I'll definitely win, so let's make the bet!" Xia Tian agreed.

  "Alright then, let's schedule it for tomorrow afternoon. We have a match in the afternoon and training in the morning, and there will be people around to witness it." Chen Zhigang said.

  "Whatever." Summer is fine anytime.

  Sun Xinxin looked at Xia Tian with a bit of annoyance, not because she was angry that he had made a bet using her, but rather because this guy had agreed to it so casually. Didn't he worry about losing her at all?

  With this bet, Chen Zhigang didn't deliberately make things difficult for Xia Tian. They finished lunch smoothly and Chen Zhigang even volunteered to pay the bill. Then, he enthusiastically invited Sun Xinxin to continue shopping.

  Xuan Xuan had already lost the mood to go shopping, and even didn't want to buy a mobile phone anymore. She shook her head, made an excuse: "Zhi Gang, there's still something at the flower shop, we'll just head back first, tomorrow I'll come with Xia Tian to the sports institute, then I'll call you."

  "Xīn xīn, aren't you still going to buy a cell phone?" Chen Zhigang's enthusiasm was suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water, and he couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

  "Let's buy it next time." Xun Xinxin also greeted the other two, "Jiang Feng, Shu Jing, we'll leave first, see you tomorrow!"

  Sun Xinxin pulled Xia Tian's arm and they both turned around and left.

  "A waste of a flower, actually dares to compete with me!" Chen Zhigang looked at Xia Tian's back with disdain.

  "Zhi Gang, don't underestimate Xia Tian. His relationship with your first love is probably not ordinary." Jiang Feng finally spoke up.

  "I have the same feeling." Shu Jing echoed.

  "Hmph, what could they possibly have in common? I just don't believe that Xin Xin would choose him over me!" Chen Zhi Gang was full of confidence.

  Jiang Feng shook his head and exchanged a glance with Shu Jing, but didn't say anything else.

  It's past three in the afternoon.

  In the summer, holding a bunch of fragrant lilies, appeared at the door of Liu Yunman, stretched out her hand and rang the doorbell.

  The door opened quickly, and a face with smoky makeup appeared in Xia Tian's line of sight. Obviously, this person was not Liu Yunman, but Liu Yunman's sister who looked like a thin bamboo pole.

  "Wow, what a beautiful lily! Thank you!" Seeing the bouquet of flowers, the slender bamboo pole that had been smoked reached out to grab it.

  Summer's hand retracted, and the thin bamboo pole suddenly hugged an empty space. With a somewhat dissatisfied glare at Summer, he said: "Still calling yourself a divine doctor? You're so stingy!"

  "Flowers can't be delivered casually, I don't want to be misunderstood that I like you." Xia Tian had a good reason, he slipped into the house, and his eyes immediately fell on Liu Yunman. He quickly walked up to her, "Sister Yunman, this is for you."

  "Thank you, I like it very much." Liu Yunman took the flowers and a happy expression appeared on her face.

  The thin bamboo pole next to him was very unhappy: "Is it embarrassing to like me?"

  "It's really embarrassing, others will question my taste."

  "Hey!" The thin bamboo pole was furious, "Take a closer look, I'm also a beauty!"

  Xia Tian shook her head: "I can see very clearly, you are not a beauty."

  "You, you, you......" The thin bamboo pole was so angry that he stomped his foot, "There's something wrong with your eyes!"

  "My eyesight has always been accurate." Xia Tian scolded the thin bamboo pole for his unsatisfactory eyesight, "You're 1.7 meters tall but only weigh 90 pounds, you don't have any flesh on your body, and your chest doesn't even need a bra, it's completely undeveloped. By the way, I have a bottle of **cream that can help you develop to at least B-cup size, how about I sell it to you?"

  The skinny bamboo pole is stunned, how can this guy's eyes be so poisonous?

  But soon she was still very angry and retorted: "Who said I didn't develop breasts? Do you want me to take off my clothes for you to see?"

  "You can take it off if you want, I'm not looking anyway, lest I have a nightmare after seeing it." Xia Tian said casually.

  "You're killing me!" The thin bamboo pole was about to go crazy.

  "Alright, you two stop acting like enemies." Liu Yunman said with a bit of helplessness, "Xiao Ying, I told you before, don't dress up in such a messy way. You didn't listen, and now people say you're not pretty, and you're not happy about it."

  "Sister, he's not saying I'm not pretty now, he's saying I have a bad figure!" Thin bamboo pole was very angry, "Is my figure that bad?"

  "Xiao Ying, you have a good figure, very suitable for being a clothing model." Liu Yunman softly comforted her sister.

  "Sister, you're saying I'm thin too!" Thin bamboo pole was a bit resentful, aren't those fashion models all quite thin?

  Liu Yunman was a bit helpless, and could only continue to comfort her sister: "Xiao Ying, don't worry, you're sick now, wait until summer when your illness is cured, then you can eat some more to supplement yourself, and your figure will become even better."

  Turning her head to look at Xia Tian, Liu Yunman continued: "Xia Tian, can you administer the injection now? If so, please give it to Xiao Ying first?"

  "No problem." Xia Tian nodded. In fact, when he was treating Liu Meng's illness yesterday, he didn't use the Heavenly Reversal Eight Needles at all, so he could have administered the needles long ago.

  "Then let's get started!" Liu Yunman was a bit anxious about this matter.

  The process of treating the illness went smoothly, although Xiao Zhu Gan was very dissatisfied with Xia Tian now and hated him so much that she wanted to bite him. However, when she saw her aunt, who had been in a coma for over a decade, wake up, she didn't doubt Xia Tian's medical skills at all. She also knew that she was ill and it was the kind of illness that would definitely kill her. Now that someone was helping her treat her illness, she naturally couldn't ask for more. Even if this doctor was annoying, she would still cooperate with him.

  However, when lying in bed, she secretly vowed: "After Miss treats her illness, come back and deal with this annoying guy!"

  Just as I was thinking, my head suddenly felt dizzy and after a while, I felt extremely comfortable all over, refreshed and invigorated, seemingly even more so than Zhu Bajie eating the Peaches of Immortality. Then I heard that annoying guy say: "Alright, you can get up now!"

  "Is it over so soon?" The thin bamboo pole and Liu Yunman's initial reaction were exactly the same, but this time, Liu Yunman knew clearly that the entire treatment process took a full twenty minutes, of course, shorter than when Xia Tian treated her illness in the summer.

  Liu Yunman was by her side explaining, and the slender bamboo pole quickly accepted the fact, although she still had some doubts, but she had already planned to go to the hospital for a check-up later, and then it would be confirmed.

  "Hey, thanks!" Although he was dissatisfied with this guy, since the other person had treated his illness, Thin Bamboo Pole thought he should still say a thank you.

  "No need, Yunman sister has already thanked me." Xia Tian said casually.

  "Really?" The thin bamboo pole looked at Liu Yunman with a bit of suspicion, "Sister, how did you thank him? He didn't seem to ask our family for money either?"

  "Don't mind so much." Yvonne thought that she was one step closer to becoming Xia Tian's mistress, and her heart felt somewhat uneasy.

  To avoid her sister's continued questioning, Liu Yunman hastily changed the subject: "Summer, I discussed it with Grandma and from now on, you can come to my place every day to treat illnesses for the rest of our family members. What do you think?"

  "Alright!" Xia Tian agreed without hesitation. He was more than happy to come here every day to see Liu Yun Man, and as for treating the illness, it was just an incidental thing for him.

  "In the summer, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you. Yesterday, my third uncle was like that towards you, and I hope you won't mind it and continue to treat him and those cousins of mine. Can you agree?" asked Liu Yunman somewhat nervously."

  I'd rather not translate that.

  However, if he didn't agree, Liu Yunman might be unhappy. After some thought, Xia Tian spoke up and said: "Sister Yunman, I can treat their illness, but they have to give me money."

  "No problem, how much money do you want?" Liu Yunman agreed in one breath. It was only natural to pay for treatment, let alone treating such a terminal illness?

  "Save one's life for a million, and collect half of it when they're dead." Xia Tian said, "This is the rule set by my master. That monkey is about to die, so I have to collect half."

  "Take half?" Liu Yunman was a bit puzzled, "How much is that?"

  "Oh, it's just that whatever he has, I want half of it." Xia Tian explained.

  "What? Third Uncle that old scoundrel may not be very rich, but he also has tens of millions, you want half?" Thin Bamboo Pole couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  "What's the point of having a few million? When he dies, the money will be spent by others and his wife will sleep with someone else." Xia Tian said nonchalantly.

  Liu Yunman was a bit dazed and had to say that the price of summer was quite high, but there is a saying that goes: human life is priceless. Sometimes human life is not worth much, tens of thousands can buy a life, but for those with assets in the hundreds of millions, spending tens of millions to buy a life would also be considered very valuable.

  In fact, when some people are about to die, they would give away all their property in exchange for their lives. As long as they can survive, there are many people who would be willing to do so, even if it means giving up everything.

  After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yunman spoke up: "Xiatian, I have to ask San Shu about this first. If he's not willing, then there's nothing I can do."

  "It doesn't matter, if he doesn't want me to treat his illness, I'd be more than happy," Xia Tian said nonchalantly. Although he didn't have any money now, it wasn't like he had to have those few tens of millions no matter what. It's just that if they really did collect money, then they would have to follow the rules set by Master."
