Chapter 57: Master Shifu

Yu Jinli hadn’t had this warm feeling of being in the water for a long time. Ever since he arrived in this world, he was like a fish without water, which wouldn’t help no matter how much water he drank or how many baths he took. Now, he finally found some peace. The feeling of lingering at the door to death finally subsided a bit. Though he didn’t sleep for a whole night, he felt better than he ever did. He could even go out and run a few laps now. Energetic as he was, his stomach was empty. Having had a nutrition preparation last night and didn’t have breakfast this morning, he wasn’t only hungry, but craved for some natural food. When he was downstairs, both Qiao Mulan and Jiang Zhentao went out to work. At first, Qiao Mulan had planned to take Yu Jinli with her so that he wouldn’t meet her son. However, after several knocks on Yu Jinli’s door with no answer, she thought he was still asleep so she gave up on her plan and told the cooks to keep food ready for him. Though the food wasn’t as good as what he made, it was a great improvement. Yu Jinli had a good meal. With his stomach and inner core satisfied, he was floating in ecstasy and had a feeling that he was going to rise as an immortal. “Young Lady, the young lord wants to see you in his room.” A servant walked over and said in a soft voice. By now, Yu Jinli finally remembered his golden coattail. It seemed he hadn’t seen him for two days. Immediately, he felt a bit guilty. He had promised mom that he was going to help his golden coattail with his injury but he hadn’t seen him after that as if he was avoiding giving him treatment. But that wasn’t the case. He was willing to help his golden coattail and wasn’t hiding from him. He had promised to cure him in five days. Now that two days had passed, he only had three days. He needed to hurry up. Fortunately, he had taken in plenty of Power of Faith yesterday. If he used it all on golden coattail, half of his injury might be cured. Hastily, he went upstairs while Jiang Mosheng was staring at the door as he lay in bed. As he heard that familiar footstep from the corridor, he turned his eyes away from the door quickly and put his hands on a book as if they were on it all this time. Yu Jinli ran fast. However, when he was at the door to Jiang Mosheng’s bedroom, he hesitated, worried that his golden coattail would be angry at him for focusing on his own matter instead of giving him treatment. But he didn’t do that on purpose. Besides, he was the master shifu. No disciple would dislike his master shifu. Only master shifu could dislike his disciples. Right, he was the master shifu. Golden coattail couldn’t dislike him. Yu Jinli cheered himself up and had no idea that on the other side of the door, Jiang Mosheng couldn’t wait to see him. For the past half an hour, he hadn’t turned a page. His eyes would move from the book to the door from time to time, wondering why the little one hadn’t come in yet. Perhaps his prayer worked, perhaps Yu Jinli had heard his racing heartbeat, as Jiang Mosheng glanced at the door again, it opened and their eyes met. Dong! Dong! Heart started to pound furiously. Dong, dong! As if it would break away from the body at any second.
