Chapter 135: Entanglement
Yun Yun went to visit her godmother and Wen Tingyun again, and there was nothing special at the end of the day.
Bai Chenxuan's jade statue that day was lingering, he had a knot in his heart, he knew that this cousin had a good family since he was a child, rather than saying that he lacked anything, it was better to say that he couldn't look down on anything, he had never given her anything, but received many direct or indirect favors from her, this time she finally saw something she wanted to get but couldn't get, Bai Chenxuan wanted to give it to her, out of a complex psychology of liking, gratitude and eagerness to prove herself. So he went to the antique shop where he had been with Yun Yun in the afternoon, and he couldn't say that he was looking for Li Yuanying, so he pretended to appreciate these antique things, and said, "Find your boss." β
The middle-aged man with a light beard laughed and said, "The boss is not here." β
"Who said it wasn't there?" Li Yuanying heard it outside the door and said.
"Miss, why are you here?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Dad is out, ask me to come and see the store, you go down."
This person went out in response, and Li Yuanying asked Bai Chenxuan: "What are you doing here?" Is she angry, and what do you buy to compensate her? β
"No, she's not angry, and I'm not buying anything else."
Li Yuanying guessed that he would never forget the jade statue of Zhaojun, so he turned around and walked to a few antiques, turned his back to her, and deliberately asked, "Then what are you doing here?" β
"I ...... If you want to buy the jade statue you saw that day, you ......" Bai Chenxuan couldn't speak.
Li Yuanying smiled slightly, and asked again: "Do you like her?" β
"She's my cousin."
"Cousin?" Li Yuanying frowned and thought about it carefully, and asked, "Do you like your cousin?" β
Bai Chenxuan pursed his lips, who would have thought that if she asked like this, it would be even more difficult to speak.
Li Yuanying didn't give up, and asked, "Do you want to marry her in the future?" β
Bai Chenxuan saw her back and a flush on the side of her face, she really couldn't cry or laugh, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not familiar with you, why are you asking so much?" β
Li Yuanying got angry, turned his head and said, "Since you are not familiar, you came to beg me?" You know I'm not going to sell it to you! β
Bai Chenxuan was stunned, who wanted to provoke her, he was remorseful and anxious, and blushed and said, "I'm sorry, then I'...... I'm leaving. β
Li Yuan Yingyuan opened his eyes and watched him step out of the threshold, and said loudly: "That's the dowry left to me by my father!" I'm not going to sell it! β
Bai Chenxuan paused, an inexplicable sadness rose in his heart, and he didn't plan to ask Li Yuanying to buy the jade statue.
In the afternoon of the next day, the weather was hot, and Bai Chenxuan worked in the hospital in the British Concession.
Recent events have made him depressed, and the white coat he wears always reminds him of his professional ethics as a doctor, and never let his emotions affect his work.
At this time, Li Yuanying came to see a doctor, and only a little girl accompanied her. She was assigned to Dr. Scotter's department because of abdominal pain, and she walked in and sat down, her face flushed, sweating, and exhausted.
When Bai Chenxuan walked in, she remembered that this person she had already met, but intentionally or unintentionally, she didn't care too much.
"How are you?"
Bai Chenxuan glanced at her, in the hospital, he only treated her as a patient, he didn't have so much restraint and uneasiness, so he replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It's me, I didn't expect it to be you." β
"Will you heal me?"
"Yes." So saying, he walked over.
"In the past, the foreign doctor treated me, I don't want you to treat me, I just want him to treat me."
"He's my teacher, and it's the same if I treat you."
"No!"
Bai Chenxuan was stunned, thinking that he might be angry about yesterday's incident, so he said: "If you are still angry about my recklessness yesterday, then there is no need, now you are a patient, I am a doctor, I am just treating you for the disease, and if you treat the disease, the hospital will also collect money, and you don't have to feel indebted." β
Li Yuanying frowned embarrassedly and said, "I'm not angry, but I'm ...... this disease."
Bai Chenxuan smiled in his heart, thinking that she might be shy to say, so he said: "Forget it, I don't need to ask you, your symptoms look like the most common symptoms of your girls in the summer now, I know what the disease is, just prescribe medicine for you." β
"Do you really know?"
"Do you want me to tell me?" Bai Chenxuan said: "It mostly occurs in the evening, dizziness, difficulty sleeping, vague pain in the lower abdomen, continuous sweating, andββ"
"Don't say it, I believe it."
Bai Chenxuan smiled helplessly, prescribed medicine for her, and immediately poured water and gave her a dose. There were still patients at the moment, so they continued to see a doctor, Li Yuanying's body was weak, so she leaned back on the chair to rest.
After a while, Bai Chenxuan came over and said, "If you don't get well tomorrow morning, come over again, and I'll ask the teacher to heal you." β
Li Yuanying nodded, stayed for a while, and waited for her father to call someone to come and see, and then went back.
At sunset, Yun Yun came back from her godmother's house, but saw Xiao Jinyu waiting at home. Ever since he said that kind of nonsense that likes himself that day, Yun Yun can't treat him very naturally, and she is embarrassed to see it.
"Where's your brother?" Xiao Jinyu asked as soon as he saw her step into the threshold.
"I didn't come back." Yun Yun glanced at him, then looked away and walked inside.
Xiao Jinyu looked at her back, a little anxious, and suddenly said, "Hey-"
Yun Yun couldn't listen to what he said that day, so she hurriedly turned around and stopped, "You...... Don't say anything like that. β
Xiao Jinyu was dazed, "What?" He asked.
"Don't tell my brother either, or I'll be like three years ago, and I don't want to do that."
Xiao Jinyu remembered that a few years ago, his father asked Yunyun for himself, and was ashamed, and then the two families never interacted again, seeing that the Qing Dynasty was shattered, the dealer was ruined, and he made a fortune, he once thought about revenge, and he also had revenge, but now he feels that it is enough to be out all day long, and now he can abandon his previous suspicions with Zhuang Yuncheng, and it is very rare not to intersect for fame and fortune, which can relieve his endless physical and mental exhaustion, and he doesn't want the results of the year, but he feels that the current situation is completely ominous, "I am not the same person I used to be." Xiao Jinyu smiled and said, "Your family is not what it used to be." β
Yun Yun panicked in her heart and said hurriedly: "I know, but I ...... I don't like you either. β
Xiao Jinyu was stunned, he found that he didn't seem to have thought of this, he thought that like everyone is like his eldest wife Jin Ni, as long as I want it, as soon as my parents agree, it will be done, and there is still such a thing as "like or dislike"? The indescribable feeling in his heart was puzzled and lost. But what he has cultivated in the past few years is the face of the city wall and the character of not admitting defeat, he secretly thought: "Then I will slowly consume it with you, and I am not in a hurry." β
Yun Yun saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and her wandering eyes and incomprehensible expression made her unpredictable.
"Eh, do you understand?" Yun Yun asked stubbornly.
"Understood," Xiao Jinyu smiled, "Actually, you think too much, I don't want to say anything." β
Yun Yun thought he was looking for the bottom of the stairs, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't do it in the future." β
"No, it won't." Xiao Jinyu suddenly said, "I have a gift for you." β
"I don't want it, don't ......" Yun Yun hurriedly waved her hand.
"Don't look like that, don't you say? Take it. β
Yun Yun thought about it, but it was not good to accept his things for no reason, and said no.
"No, or I won't leave and stay at your house for one night." Xiao Jinyu laughed roguely.
"You-" Yun Yunding couldn't let him live, her brother was not at home, so she had to accept it, so she said helplessly: "Just accept it, what is it?" Give it to me and you'll go, it's getting dark. β
"It's not a good thing, a foreign merchant gave it, I gave one to each of the two wives, and the other one I thought would give it to you." Xiao Jinyu said and asked Ju An to bring it, and Ju An put this thing in the side hall, so he went to get it again.
Ju An took a beautifully packaged gift box, Xiao Jinyu opened it, and it turned out to be a golden feather black and white wide hat.
"This kind of hat is very beautiful, but what does it look like?" Yun Yun took it in her hand and looked left and right.
Xiao Jinyu smiled and said: "This is worn by those nobles in Europe, we don't wear this kind of strange hat here, you just look good in the house." β
"Okay." Yun Yun saw that Lotus was beside her, so she let her into the house.
Xiao Jinyu left quickly, it was dark, and it was fine, eating and sleeping alone.
Since Xi'er was kicked out, Yunyun took Lotus with her when she was on vacation, and in the past few days, everyone has left, and she has eaten and slept with Lotus.
The next morning, Li Yuanying went to the hospital again.
Bai Chenxuan saw that her complexion was much better, and asked with concern: "Looking at your appearance, it is already much better, is there anything uncomfortable?" β
"No, I'm here to give you this." As she spoke, she took out something from her back, and Bai Chenxuan was surprised when she saw that it was this jade statue.
"Here you go." Li Yuanying stretched out his hand and handed it over.
"I can't ask for it." Bai Chenxuan took a step back.
"What's wrong? You begged me the day before yesterday, and now you don't want it? β
"It's different, my duty to treat your illness as a doctor, I can't accept such a valuable thing from you because of this."
"No," Li Yuanying said, "I know, but this is only my intention, not to cure my illness for you." β
"Still can't." Bai Chenxuan shook his head.
"Why? Otherwise, you can buy it with money, and I'll sell it to you, right? β
"There are some things that can't be bought with money, if you can, my cousin will buy them that day," Bai Chenxuan said, "And this thing, you shouldn't sell it, otherwise she will lose its meaning." β
Li Yuanying suddenly remembered the "dowry" that he said yesterday, and thought that he should allude to this so he refused to accept it, so he said: "This is not my dowry, you must accept it today!" β
She angrily stuffed the statue of Zhaojun into his hand and said, "Don't let it go, if it is broken, you will really be sorry for me." β
Bai Chenxuan refused to ask for it in his heart, but he didn't dare to let go of his hand, Li Yuanying turned around and walked to the door, turned around and said: "This is my intention, since I gave it to you, I don't care who you want to give it to, it's just that you must remember me, don't forget." β
Bai Chenxuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up in a trance, his heart beating suddenly.
