This was because in this material society, for a beautiful girl like Dai Xiaoyu, to still be able to work so hard and not be tempted by any external forces, and persevere on with her true self, was an extremely rare and precious matter.

Not long later, Dai Xiaoyu prepared food, brought it out, and called for Shen Lian to eat.

Shen Lian sat down and found that the meal consisted of fried minced meat with beans, a serving of Stir-Fried Vegetables and an egg white soup. It looked very simple, but the smell was very appetizing.

"Martial Brother Shen, you eat first, I'll feed my mother first …"

Dai Xiaoyu said with a slightly apologetic tone. Then, she grabbed a small bowl and made a plate of food, bringing it to the room next door.

Looking at Dai Xiaoyu's busy and delicate figure, Shen Lian suddenly realised, Dai Xiaoyu was a person who only focused on holding the family, being virtuous, filial, beautiful, pure, hardworking … Waiting for a girl with many good points was definitely the right choice to be a wife!

After a while, Dai Xiaoyu returned, seeing that Shen Lian was still waiting for his and did not eat, his face flushed red: I'm sorry, Martial Brother Shen, let, let's eat first, the food is already cold.

As she said that, Dai Xiaoyu took the initiative to scoop up a bowl of rice and placed it in front of Shen Lian.

Dai Xiaoyu's action was very natural, but it caused Shen Lian's heart, who was at the softest spot, to uncontrollably feel warm. He actually had the thought of chasing after Dai Xiaoyu … Shen Lian looked at Dai Xiaoyu, purposely asking her: "XiaoYu, a beautiful and virtuous lady like you, do you have a boyfriend?"

"En..." "I, I don't have it yet …"

Dai Xiaoyu's face reddened for no reason.

"It can't be? A beautiful young girl like you, how could you not have a boyfriend? This is not very scientific. "

Upon hearing this, Shen Lian's interest in her grew.

"Eh, actually, there are a lot of men who pursue me, but I …" "I'm not interested in them at all …"

When Dai Xiaoyu said till here, her face flushed red once again, "Because those men all took a fancy to my figure and appearance, so none of them cared about me! "As for me, I just want to find someone who truly knows me …"

"Oh, you're a good girl. You'll definitely find a boyfriend!"

Shen Lian said.

"I hope so!"

Dai Xiaoyu said and sighed: "Actually I thought about it too, it's just that I just graduated from university and my family situation is bad. Now that my mother's situation is like this, I'm really not in the mood …"

"En, you are so beautiful and virtuous. You are filial and kind. In the future, you will definitely find a good man who loves you."

Shen Lian comforted her.

"Thank you, Martial Brother Shen, for your praise …"

Dai Xiaoyu said with a red face.

"Hehe …" I mean it. "

Shen Lian saw that she was shy and changed the topic, "Oh right, XiaoYu, I remember that when we were in middle school, your family's conditions were not bad. "It became like this?"

"Sigh …" "Speaking of which, it's really hard to explain it all."

Hearing this, Dai Xiaoyu sighed, then told Shen Lian about her experiences over the years … Originally, although Dai Xiaoyu's family was not very rich, they were still a well-off family. Her father was a teacher, her mother owned a fruit shop that was not bad, and her family of three led a pretty good life.

However, the weather was unpredictable. When Dai Xiaoyu was in her third year of high school, a sudden change changed everything: her father went to the countryside to teach, and on the way back, he encountered a serious car accident.

Due to his serious injuries and the fact that the perpetrator was never found, he was unable to obtain compensation … In order to save him, Dai Xiaoyu's mother had to gather the fees for the treatment. She had no choice but to transfer the pretty good fruit shop over.

But even so, her father still died from his injuries on the operating table … This sudden turn of events had given Dai Xiaoyu and her mother a huge blow.

Especially her mother. Because of her excessive grief, she had fallen ill. Later on, because she missed her dead husband, her illness became more and more serious.

Dai Xiaoyu had wanted to drop out of school to take care of her mother, but her mother had insisted that she must attend university in order to change her fate.

Therefore, Dai Xiaoyu participated in the college entrance examination and entered into a pretty good university.

In order to help Dai Xiaoyu study, her mother went to Binhai to work, because the wages in this large city was much more than in the countryside.

However, her mother's health was not too good to begin with. In addition, she had worked so hard that she had accumulated a lot of fatigue, and even now, she could no longer hold on and fell ill … After hearing what Dai Xiaoyu had done, Shen Lian sighed in his heart. Compared to Dai Xiaoyu, he was considered lucky.

Although Shen Lian's family was relatively poor and he had to support his own little sister to study in university, his family was still healthy and safe, which was much better than Dai Xiaoyu's bitterness towards Wandering.

"XiaoYu, everything will be fine in the future."

Shen Lian comforted her.

"Right now, I only hope that my mother can recover from her illness. It doesn't matter if she suffers a bit more."

Dai Xiaoyu said.

At this moment, the sound of a violent cough came from the room next door … Dai Xiaoyu's face changed, she immediately stood up and walked out, and upon seeing her, Shen Lian followed suit.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, entered the room next door.

Just as he entered, Shen Lian could smell a strange sour smell. This smell was not very strong, but it was very strange.

Then, Shen Lian saw a middle-aged woman with somewhat grey hair lying on a bed in the room. She should be Dai Xiaoyu's mother.

She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed … On a table beside him, there was a bowl of food that was only half-eaten.

Dai Xiaoyu hurriedly walked forward and nervously pulled her mother's hand. "Mom, you, how are you?"

The middle-aged woman still had her eyes closed, her breathing was weak. She opened her mouth, but was unable to reply to Dai Xiaoyu, and only lightly shook her head.

"Martial Brother Shen, my mom was able to eat just now, but now she has become like this. Can I trouble you to hurry up and help my mom see if she is alright?"

Dai Xiaoyu turned her head and pleaded to Shen Lian in a low voice.

Shen Lian nodded his head. Then, he moved closer to take a closer look and discovered that the middle-aged woman's face was so pale that it was hard for her to breathe. Her breath was weak and her limbs were thin.

This discovery made Shen Lian furrow his brows. He knew that this middle-aged woman's illness was indeed quite severe.

Shen Lian then stretched out his hand and pressed it against the middle-aged woman's wrist. He closed his eyes slightly and earnestly tried to work on her pulse … In fact, all of this came from within Shen Lian's mind. The records of the Seven Apertures Mystical Caverns' ancient medical skills had been developed through cultivation, and this mysterious knowledge had allowed Shen Lian to understand and master a vast majority of them.

About two minutes later, Shen Lian opened his eyes …
