It was worth noting that Bai Yiyi was a true beauty. Xia Tian had seen her three times in total; she wore a nurse outfit during their first encounter, which covered her perfect figure. Besides, her beautiful features were also partly masked by her makeup.
In the morning when he met Bai Yiyi, she had no makeup on and was dressed very casually. That was why Xia Tian did not pay much attention to her. However, she had simple makeup on now and wore a long white dress, and thus he was drawn to her.
Although the hot pot restaurant was not packed, they could not ask for a private room since it was only the two of them. Hence, Bai Yiyi looked for a seat near the window.
Currently, Bai Yiyi was in the spotlight. Xia Tian could clearly see men from other tables stealing glances at her and some were even pretending to look elsewhere. On top of that, the waiters in the restaurant were even gathered in a corner to talk about Bai Yiyi’s pretty looks.
The moment she waved at Xia Tian, countless men stared at him with murderous looks. If eyes could kill, he would have already died ten times over.
“You’re really pretty today.” Xia Tian complimented.
“Are you saying that I don’t usually look pretty?” Bai Yiyi replied with a smile.
“Of course not, but you’re prettier than usual today.” Xia Tian knew that women were curious beings. If he gave an unsatisfactory answer, he would be in trouble.
“Have a look.” Bai Yiyi passed the hot pot menu to him.
“Anything’s fine with me. I’ll eat whatever you’d like to eat.” Xia Tian handed it back to Bai Yiyi.
“Alright, I’ll order.” Bai Yiyi was extremely pleased with how Xia Tian behaved. She marked the order sheet quickly and ordered two drinks, but nothing alcoholic. Besides, Xia Tian was not intending to consume beer since he had something on at night.
“I really want to thank you for taking such good care of me during my stay in the hospital.” Xia Tian was aware that it was hard to find nurses who would look after coma patients so carefully, even despite the fact that Ceng Rou paid for his hospital bill.
“That’s my job. But hey, how did you recover so quickly?” Bai Yiyi was confused and she wondered. ‘It had only been a few days, it should take him two to three months to heal even if he stayed in the hospital, but he looks completely normal now.’
“Maybe it’s because I have a good constitution.” Xia Tian explained. Of course, he was not going to reveal that it was the necklace left by his mother that healed him. It would have sounded too bizarre.
“Your constitution must be quite extraordinary then. Show me your hand.” Bai Yiyi was intrigued as she had never met anyone with such strong healing capabilities.
Xia Tian reached his hand out, and was clueless about what Bai Yiyi was up to.
Following that, Bai Yiyi pressed Xia Tian’s hand, which took him by surprise. He thought to himself, ‘She’s being too straightforward, is she expressing her love to me?’ Instantly, he was overwhelmed with happiness.
“What are you doing? I’m an ordinary person.” Xia Tian watched Bai Yiyi nervously.
“Don’t let it get to your head. Everyone has different affinity to healing. I pressed your palm earlier to check the speed of your blood circulation.” Bai Yiyi continued, “Indeed, you’re able to recover faster than a normal person, but surely it won’t happen so quickly unless you’d consumed something.”
“What?” Xia Tian was eager to know, then thought to himself, ‘She’s just an average nurse. How does she know about this?’
“Beats me, but these healing drugs are rarely seen.” The little nurse did not question Xia Tian, because she knew that he would not tell her anyway.
As for the reason that Xia Tian gained such extraordinary healing, it was certainly not by chance. He must have consumed a certain drug.
From the first time she met Xia Tian, she had found him very strange. Not only did he decline the five million dollars offered by Ceng Rou, but he insisted on participating in the NCEE as well. She was even more surprised to see him in his current state and was still in disbelief that he was able to recover in such a short period of time.
Since she came from a family with generations of medicinal history, Bai Yiyi knew about the healing of a human body more than anyone else.
Even though her family possessed drugs that could speed up recovery time, it would take at least seven to ten days, and those medicines were the most valuable treasures of her family.
Xia Tian somehow fully recovered in just two to three days, which meant that he must have taken medicine that was even more superior than the ones from her family.
She became much more interested in Xia Tian.
If Bai Yiyi were to acquire the recipe or refining methods of the drug that had better effects than the ones manufactured by the elders in her family, her family could easily surpass other known families, and would emerge as the best in Hua Xia.
“Xia Tian, if there’s a chance, I’d like to meet the person who gave you that medicine.” Bai Yiyi grinned at Xia Tian.
“Miss nurse, I think you’ve misunderstood. There were no drugs at all, I swear.” Indeed, Xia Tian did not consume any medicine, he only used his mother’s necklace to heal himself.
“Oh, perhaps I’ve made a mistake.” Even upon hearing Xia Tian’s response, Bai Yiyi still had doubts. She thought that Xia Tian was hiding the truth on purpose as he was afraid of getting into trouble. Of course, it was also possible that Xia Tian’s body experienced some sort of unusual change, but the chance of that was slim. After all, there was no limit to human potential, and nobody could be certain about how much one’s potential was unleashed.
In the end, neither Xia Tian nor Bai Yiyi paid for their meal, because it was on the house. Due to Bai Yiyi’s presence, the hot pot restaurant was flooded with customers, and many people were waiting for seats.
Since the increased business was all because of Bai Yiyi, the restaurant owner returned the favor by giving her a platinum membership card so that she could get a fifty percent discount for her future visits.
After bidding Bai Yiyi farewell, Xia Tian headed to Bar Street.
People of all sorts walked the streets. While Xia Tian walked, a street lady approached him with coy and playful eyes.
“You dirty b*stard! I knew you’re up to no good!” Right then, Xia Tian heard Lin Bingbing’s voice.
At once, Xia Tian ran over to Lin Bingbing. “You’ve misunderstood.”
“Hmph, that doesn’t matter to me.” Lin Bingbing scoffed.
The street girl was slightly startled when she saw Lin Bingbing, because she was too charming. Knowing that her efforts earlier had gone to waste, she cursed, “Why did you even bring your girlfriend along if you’re not here for some fun? You’re crazy.”
