Chapter 214: Apology
In order to end this embarrassing situation as soon as possible, Su Xing had no choice but to agree to Zhang's request, even though Ye Linghan might not accept it.
After that, he patiently asked about Zhang's physical condition and hurriedly found an excuse to leave the Shangshu Mansion.
But after leaving the Shangshu Mansion, he didn't know where to go. He had finally gotten out of the Regent's Palace, was he going back so soon?
Ye Linghan won’t be back so soon, and there’s no point in him going back.
Su Xing was strolling on the street, thinking about where to kill time.
When he saw the clinic on the side of the road, he suddenly thought of Lian Yi.
Such a big thing happened that day and he didn't have time to apologize to Lian Yi. Today is a good opportunity.
Su Xing immediately changed direction and walked quickly towards Lian Yi's residence.
But Lian Yi didn't seem to be at home, and he knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response.
Su Xing stared at the closed door for a long while, his face full of regret.
It seems that I can only find another opportunity to visit next time, Su Xing thought as he turned around and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the door suddenly creaked and opened.
Su Xing paused, then immediately turned around and happened to meet the eyes of Lian Yi inside the door.
"Doctor Lian!" Su Xing shouted excitedly.
Lian Yi was startled at first, but then his indifferent face suddenly became lively: "Su Xing..."
He looked at Su Xing in disbelief, his eyes trembling imperceptibly.
Su Xing took a step forward happily: "Great, I thought you were not at home!"
Lian Yi explained apologetically, "I was busy just now and didn't hear you knocking on the door. Sorry for the rudeness."
Su Xing was a little surprised. Why did Lian Yi look different from before?
He remembered that when they first met, Lian Yi was very individual, unlike now, he seemed... a little restrained.
What's going on?
Lian Yi saw Su Xing staring at him suspiciously and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Xing quickly came back to his senses, shook his head vigorously, and said with a smile: "I'm fine."
In his heart, he became more and more certain of Lian Yi's changes. He was not only restrained but also a little cautious.
But he did not show his doubts. After all, he and Lian Yi were not that familiar with each other, and he came here today for important things to do.
Thinking of this, he asked carefully: "Doctor Lian, can I come in?"
Lian Yi finally realized that he had been holding the door handle tightly and had no intention of letting the guest in.
"I'm so rude!" Lian Yi's face showed more apology, and he was even a little flustered: "Su Xing, come in quickly."
As he spoke, he suddenly opened the door all the way and then moved sideways.
Su Xing really couldn't get used to Lian Yi's change. He wanted to say something, but he held back the words when they came to his lips.
"Don't be so polite, Doctor Lian. It's my fault for coming to your house so suddenly."
Lian Yi watched Su Xing enter the room, then he closed the door and said, "It's not at all presumptuous. I'm glad you came."
Su Xing could hear the sincerity in Lian Yi's words. He was moved, but at the same time, he felt even more guilty.
But he wanted to solemnly apologize to Lian Yi, but now was not the time.
"Me too. I'm very happy to see Dr. Lian." Su Xing gave Lian Yi a very sincere smile in return.
Lian Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly retracted his gaze and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "Su Xing, come in quickly."
Su Xing didn't hesitate and walked in.
Arriving at the familiar living room, Su Xing stopped, turned around and waited for Lian Yi to come over.
"Su Xing, please sit down. I'll go make some tea." Lian Yi greeted him with a smile.
Su Xing did not move, but looked at Lian Yi deeply, then suddenly bent down and bowed with both hands: "Doctor Lian, I came here today to apologize to you."
Lian Yi was stunned at first, then he quickly stepped forward and helped Su Xing up: "Su Xing, what are you talking about? Why are you apologizing?"
Su Xing slowly raised his head, his handsome face full of guilt and self-blame: "The last time the Regent suddenly showed up, you got hurt. It was all my fault. If it weren't for my apology, I wouldn't have the face to come to you again."
Several emotions flashed across Lian Yi's eyes, including embarrassment, self-blame, and a hint of helplessness and pain.
He was silent for a moment, then he said softly: "Su Xing, this is not your fault, you must not feel guilty about it."
"And you saved me..." Lian Yi thought of the day when Su Xing threatened to kill himself in order to save him, and a trace of unbearable expression appeared on his face: "If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago."
That was his first time meeting someone of Ye Linghan’s status. Only then did he realize how incompetent and insignificant he was in front of someone like Ye Linghan...
"Doctor Lian..." Su Xing felt even more guilty after hearing this. He just did what he should do, but Lian Yi not only did not blame him, but was actually grateful to him?
Compared with Lian Yi's tolerance, he felt that his apology was really pale.
It looked like he was just trying to ease his guilt, and it was completely useless to Lian Yi.
He was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
"Su Xing." Lian Yi saw what Su Xing was thinking and said solemnly, "This matter has passed, and my injury has long been healed. Let's just let it go, okay?"
Su Xing's heart felt like it was being pulled by invisible hands, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
How could he get by?
Why does he get all the good things in the world?
It was obviously him who harmed Lian Yi!
But he knew that continuing to argue with Lian Yi about this matter would have no practical significance for Lian Yi.
He might as well think about how he can help Lian Yi in the future.
Thinking of this, he nodded to Lian Yi and agreed: "Okay, let it go."
"That's right." Lian Yi smiled happily, and then said, "You go sit down first, I'll make tea."
This time Su Xing did not refuse. He nodded and walked into the living room.
He wanted to find a chair to sit down, but he accidentally saw Lian Yi's workroom connected to the living room and was stunned.
It was different from the previous time he came here. The table was filled with bottles and jars, just like the laboratory in his previous world.
He missed the laboratory so much that he couldn't help but walked over.
Those bottles and jars were filled with something, including powder and liquid, and they were colorful and very novel.
Su Xing stared at them curiously and was actually fascinated by them.
"Su Xing, why are you here?" Lian Yi walked to Su Xing with a tray.
Su Xing came back to his senses, and when he saw Lian Yi, he couldn't help but look embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Doctor Lian, I just saw it accidentally, and out of curiosity..."
"It's okay." Lian Yi put the tray aside and said nonchalantly, "These are some things I've been researching recently. You can take a look at them."
Su Xing was immediately interested and asked, "What is Doctor Lian researching? What are these things?"
Lian Yi was silent for a moment before he said seriously, "These are all kinds of poisons I collected."
