Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s

Chapter 28: Twenty-seven, First Kiss Chapter 28: Twenty-seven, First Kiss Lu Hanmo’s face flashed with surprise, “How do you know about the Divine Doctor Family?” The family once sent someone to visit the Divine Doctor Family because of Grandpa’s illness, but they were refused.

“Originally, when my grandpa was gathering herbs on the mountain, he met the head of the Divine Doctor Family, and they hit it off right away. Most of my grandpa’s medical skills were taught by Grandpa Luo of the Divine Doctor Family,” Luo Shu could only fib.

Lu Hanmo nodded in understanding. No wonder the Snake Repellent Medicine Luo Shu gave him was so powerful; it originated from the Divine Doctor Family.

“My family has a token from the Divine Doctor Family. With that token, one can ask for the Divine Doctor Family’s assistance at any time,” Luo Shu continued. She didn’t know why her grandpa had come down the mountain to treat Old Master Lu in her previous life, but seeing how eagerly Lu Hanmo needed Ginseng now, she knew the Lu family still hadn’t managed to invite her grandfather.

Upon hearing this, Lu Hanmo abruptly stopped and turned his head to look at Luo Shu.

Luo Shu hadn’t expected Lu Hanmo to turn around, and the two bumped into each other unintentionally.

Their eyes met, and their bodies instantly stiffened. In that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world was reduced to just the two of them.

Coming to their senses, both of them quickly separated, their faces flushed.

Lu Hanmo turned his head to look at a tree in front of him, his blush creeping up to his ears, “I’m…I’m sorry…”

“It’s…it’s okay…” Luo Shu said sheepishly, covering her mouth. So embarrassing!

Just as the two of them were awkward and at a loss, Mo Shaoze’s breathless complaining came from behind, “You two heartless fellows, couldn’t you wait for me?” A wild boar is much heavier than Luo Shu.

Mo Shaoze, carrying the wild boar and panting heavily, came up to Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo’s side, and immediately noticed the blush on their faces, “Eh? Why are your faces so red? What happened?” They couldn’t have done something they shouldn’t have, could they?

“None of your business!” Luo Shu retorted with a red face, turning her head away.

“You’ve been lacking exercise lately,” Lu Hanmo said coolly, then, carrying Luo Shu, he quickened his pace ahead.

“Lu Hanmo, you, a man with a love interest but no brotherly affection, when have I ever lacked exercise?” But all that came back was the echo from the mountains and the sight of Lu Hanmo’s and her increasingly distant figures.

“Damn it!” Mo Shaoze bit his teeth in irritation, trudging on with the wild boar on his back.

Arriving at the parked car, Lu Hanmo opened the passenger door, let Luo Shu get in, carefully buckled her seatbelt, closed the door, walked around to the driver’s seat, opened that door, and sat down.

Lu Hanmo glanced at Luo Shu and coughed lightly, “I will take responsibility for you.”

Luo Shu was slightly stunned, and after a long while, she finally asked, “Brother Lu, do you like me?” She knew that this era placed great importance on a woman’s reputation. She liked Lu Hanmo, but she didn’t want him to feel obliged to take responsibility for her because of this situation. Though she would confess to him in the future, she hoped for a relationship where they were mutually in love, not stemming from a sense of duty or any other reason. Perhaps, she was being too sentimental?

Lu Hanmo was silent; he did not know how to respond to Luo Shu’s question. This was only the second time he had met Luo Shu, and it was too early to speak of liking her, but he didn’t deny that he had a favorable impression of her.

Luo Shu slowly revealed a smile, full of fighting spirit, “I understand. I will work hard to make you fall for me.”

Lu Hanmo turned to look at Luo Shu, and after a long time, a faint smile appeared on his lips, “You are very special!” A girl like her should not be hard to fall for; at least he didn’t feel repulsed by her like he did with other women.

By the time they got back to town, the sky had completely darkened.

Lu Hanmo opened the car door and, under Luo Shu’s astonished gaze, scooped her up in his arms and strode toward the courtyard where she lived. Regardless of whether she agreed or not, he had already decided to take responsibility for her, so there was nothing wrong with him carrying his own wife.

Mo Shaoze watched the two recede into the distance, shook his head helplessly, and with resignation, dragged the boar out and hoisted it onto his shoulder, walking in the direction Lu Hanmo and Luo Shu had left. He suddenly felt incredibly sorry for himself—the other man was carrying a fragrant beauty, while he was lugging a stinky dead pig.

“Why hasn’t Big Sister come back yet?” Luo Zheng looked toward the courtyard gate again, his heart filled with immense anxiety.

“She should be back soon.” As Luo Shan comforted Luo Zheng, she also constantly reassured herself. Ever since her sister left, she had been restless, fearing that something might have happened to her.

Right at that moment, the courtyard gate creaked open.

Luo Zheng and Luo Shan turned their heads at the same time to look, and seeing Lu Hanmo carrying Luo Shu into the yard, they paused for a moment before rushing over.

“Sister, what’s wrong?”

“Big Sister, are you hurt?”

“I’m fine, Brother Lu, you can put me down now,” Luo Shu gently patted Lu Hanmo’s arm. Although somewhat reluctant, she couldn’t just keep clinging to him indefinitely, could she?

Lu Hanmo did not put Luo Shu down, but instead carried her towards the house.

Arriving at the bedside, he gently placed Luo Shu down on the bed. In the moment he set Luo Shu down, Lu Hanmo suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

“Do you have medicinal wine?” Lu Hanmo suppressed the urge in his heart and looked at Luo Shan.

Luo Shan started and quickly nodded, “Yes… we do…” The medicinal wine was something her sister had bought from the pharmacy when they moved in, saying it was for emergencies.

“Hand it to me,” Lu Hanmo frowned slightly, speaking in a subdued voice.

Luo Shan nodded, and, feeling afraid, stepped back before turning to head to the cabinet. What a frightening man, she thought, why wasn’t her sister scared when he was holding her?

Seeing Luo Shan’s fear of Lu Hanmo, Luo Zheng stepped forward, took the medicinal wine from her hand, and presented it to Lu Hanmo, “Brother Lu, where is my big sister injured?” While he was a bit intimidated by Lu Hanmo as well, it was not to the point of being scared.

“It’s just a sprain,” Luo Shu smiled and replied.

Lu Hanmo squatted down, slowly rolling up Luo Shu’s pant leg, and poured medicinal wine into his palm, “It might hurt a bit, just bear with it.”

“Okay,” Luo Shu nodded. On the way home, she had secretly drunk a drop of Spiritual Spring, so her ankle was no longer that painful, it just looked a bit red and swollen on the surface.

As Lu Hanmo’s slightly cool hand massaged her ankle, Luo Shu couldn’t help shivering. There was a slight pain in her ankle, a bit of burning sensation, and also a tingling feeling.
