Incurable Chapter 1 Part 2

Liu Daochang. His nickname is quite distinctive. Mu Wan leaned back in her chair and asked, “Why does he have such a nickname?”

“He believes in Taoism. I heard he would take four days off monthly to meditate at a Taoist temple. If he cannot save a patient in the Emergency Room, he will perform prayers for it. But his personality is too cold, and he has almost no contact with others as if he has no seven emotions and six sensory desires, like a Daoist Immortal.”

At this point, Mu Wan’s first impression of Liu Qianxiu is vivid in her mind. No wonder she felt he was free from the world’s vulgarities and possessed an immortal appearance. It turns out he had such a religious legacy.

“Taoist believers are like this. They are pure-hearted and have few desires. They are devoted to the cultivation and become immortal.” After speaking this, Mu Wan did not go on talking. After all, talking about others behind their backs is not very good. She had a good impression of Liu Qianxiu. She felt that his whole person was washed very clean. Moreover, as a doctor, he rescues patients, and as a monk, he performs prayers for dead patients. Whether helpful or not, it can deliver comfort and peace of mind to the deceased’s family members.

“Don’t you think the name Liu Qianxiu is a little familiar?” Mu Wan looks at Lin Wei.

“Liu Qianxiu is the name of the Liu family’s head. He is one of the Four Young Masters in Xiacheng.” Lin Wei is always well-informed. She ladled congee with a spoon and said, “But it should be that they only have the same name. The Liu family’s head manages the family’s internal affairs every day. How can he come to a hospital to be a doctor? How much money can a doctor make?”

“Maybe he doesn’t need money, so he goes to cure diseases and save people, or maybe he wants to pursue spiritual salvation?” After Mu Wan finished, Lin Wei turned her head, and her white eyes gave Mu Wan a look she could feel trying to penetrate through her. Mu Wan smiled because of it.

She accompanied Lin Wei until the rain stopped. Mu Wan took the umbrella and walked out of the hospital. It had been raining for two days, and the hot and humid air was gone today. When she went out, the cold wind blew through the rain, bringing some coldness to her body.

Dark shadows had already appeared. The lights were bright in all the hospital’s buildings, and the water reflected them on the ground. Mu Wan found her car and opened the door.

As soon as she got in the car, there was a prompt tone on her mobile phone, and the screen lit up her face. After Mu Wan unlocked it, she saw the bank transfer notice. It was the remuneration of her recent movie.

At that time, Mu Wan chose to study acting at the Film Academy because the money for filming was fast. Even if she does not compete for prime roles, playing such minor roles is enough to support her.

Since childhood, she has had no father and lived with her mother in the Mu family. Later, her mother died, and after graduating from high school, Mu Wan moved out of the Mu family. She’s now a lonely woman, lurking in the shadows, signing up for a small company and playing minor roles that nobody notices. When one person is sufficient, the whole family is not hungry.

This kind of life is also very good. In a movie, the protagonist and supporting roles are the norms for most actors.

She’s probably the least ambitious actor in the entertainment industry.

After thanking the company, Mu Wan put her mobile phone aside and prepared to start the car. She stepped on the clutch under her feet, but before she pressed the ignition button, she heard the muffled sound of the window glass knocked on.

Outside the window stood a man whose silhouette reflected on the glass window. He was thin and straight, but she could not see his face. Mu Wan stopped starting the car and opened the window. The black car windows fell like a movie, gradually drawing the curtain.

Outside the window, the man had taken off his white coat. His gentle, elite aura made him look like an immortal. His linen shirt was wide, comfortable, and stylish. He had a long umbrella in his hand. His fingers were long and bony, and they were on the black handle of the umbrella.

The sky gets covered with a thin dark shadow, making his cold white skin glow. His appearance is more delicate in the near than in the distance, especially in those eyes.

Dark and bright, transparent but not bottomless, like a pool.

When Mu Wan opened the window, he still looked quiet and calm, pointing to Mu Wan’s car.

“Wait a minute. There’s a cat under the car.”

His voice sounded like a clear spring, deep and cold.

It’s Liu Daochang

As Liu Qianxiu spoke, he had already reached the back of the car. There was a rustle. Mu Yan put her wrist on the window frame and squinted at the rearview mirror.

In the small rearview mirror, the man bent down his slender legs and squatted. He held a biscuit in his right hand. Under the shadow, the outline of his side face was hazy and clear, like an unpolished watercolor painting.

When he looked under the rear car tires, Liu Qianxiu’s voice was calm. He called it out gently, “Come here.”

A cat came out from under the car in the narrow rearview mirror.

Mu Wan’s eyes shone.

It was a plump calico cat with a rounded abdomen and a grey body. As soon as it got out from under the car, it looked up and cried at Liu Qianxiu. The voice was soft, as though it was familiar to him.

As soon as the cat came out, Liu Qianxiu did not hesitate to stoop down, stretch out his hand, and hold it in his arms.

The ground was full of water, the cat’s paws got covered with mud, and he trampled on his shirt as soon as he got into his arms. It prints plum blossom mud on his linen shirt, which didn’t bother him.

Lin Wei said he hardly associates with people but treats the kittens intimately. Mu Wan looked at Liu Qianxiu, holding a cat. His figure was tall and straight. He is like an immortal from the nine heavens looming in the mists, with a sense of emptiness. At that moment, Mu Wan felt like she was seeing an immortal cultivator.

“Is this your cat?” Mu Wan put her elbows on the window frame and looked at one person and a cat.

Liu Qianxiu turned and looked at the calico cat in his arms. Mu Wan in the car was smiling at him very charmingly. Her smile crinkled her eyes, and her eyes were also bright.

“No. A stray cat.”

“I think it’s very close to you.” Mu Wan glanced at the cat, and the pupils of the cat’s eyes had become black.

“I feed it sometimes.” Liu Qianxiu said.

The conversation between the two was simple. Mu Wan asked him, and he answered nothing much.

It seemed accurate that he was as plain as a chrysanthemum.

“Do you like cats?” Mu Wan smiled.

“Hmm.” Another simple answer.

Dealt with this kind of reply, Mu Wan could only shake her shoulders, and her small face wrinkled with a smile.

“Meow.~”

It was a short sound, not too loud or low, and it mingled with Mu Wan’s crisp and charming laughter. It gave off a sweetness similar to marshmallows wrapped in chocolate sauce, soft and fascinating.

The calico felt disturbed by her laughter. Its ears moved, opened its eyes, and looked over while the man who held the cat, his eyelashes slightly raised and gazing at her, silent, boundless.

The author has something to say:
Mu Xiaoxiao: If you feed me something, I will kiss you too.
Liu Daochang: Can you eat lollipops?
