Chapter 67
After returning to Courtyard No. 3, Xie Lingxu first poured a glass of water for Su Yin, tested the temperature with the back of his hand and placed it next to her. He then asked the kitchen to prepare some snacks and sent them over. While she was waiting, he opened a bag of her favorite candy for her.
After doing all this, he returned to the sofa and asked casually, "What do you want to ask me?"
Su Yin stopped eating the candy in her hand, picked up the cup and took a few sips before she spoke solemnly: "Xie Lingxu, do you like me?"
The smile in the corner of Xie Lingxu's eyes suddenly froze.
Su Yin shook the thing in her hand and repeated, "You just like me!"
Xie Lingxu could hardly make a sound.
The last time she asked him if he liked her, he ran away. This time, Su Yin would never let him go no matter what.
She supported herself with both hands on the armrests on both sides of the sofa. Because of the force, the leather surface was dented, trapping her firmly in the not-so-wide space between herself and the single sofa.
"They all say you like me, but you treat me differently. I also think you treat me very well. Tell me, do you like me?"
Xie Lingxu leaned against the backrest and spoke with difficulty, "You are the patient... I am the doctor..."
You are the young master of the evil sect, and I am the culprit who caused your death and soul to be transported...
"So you are nice to me just because you are my attending physician?" Su Yin asked suspiciously.
After saying the first sentence, the rest didn't seem so difficult.
Xie Lingxu brought up the past again, "I was entrusted by your father to take care of you."
"You take care of me like this?"
Su Yin glanced at the candy he was opening with a half-smile, then looked at the cup he handed her, and nodded her head towards her own exclusive seat in his office.
If he hadn't done anything except pushing her down on the bed that day when she sneaked into his bedroom, she would have even wanted to ask, does taking care mean taking care of her down on the bed?
"Um."
Xie Lingxu, who had no experience in taking care of others, nodded without hesitation.
Su Yin clicked her tongue, "Have you always taken care of others like this before?"
"No, you're the first."
Also the last one.
He answered this question without hesitation, unlike the previous questions where he avoided the question.
Whether he liked Su Yin or not, Xie Lingxu never denied it from the beginning to the end. The facts could not be denied. He liked her, very much.
But he didn't allow himself to express his love in a despicable way in the name of a stranger.
Wait a little longer, until he confesses everything.
"Xie Lingxu,"
Su Yin's calm voice sounded, but to him it was like a death curse, "Then why don't you dare look at me?"
The crow-feather eyelashes covering his pupils trembled violently. Xie Lingxu didn't dare to raise his eyes. Under her scorching gaze, he seemed to have nowhere to hide, but he was still holding on.
Under the panic that he was trying to hide, he even uttered a name that he hadn't used in a long time, "Patient, you are too close to me."
Su Yin didn't give him a chance to quibble and bluntly exposed him: "When you pressed me on the bed that day, you were much closer than you are now."
“…”
After a while, he managed to utter, "Sorry."
It was like two words squeezed out from the throat, extremely hoarse, and escaped from her encirclement at an extremely tricky angle.
Su Yin laughed, supporting her chin and watching his back as he almost fled.
What a clumsy lie.
Because of his father's request? But the original owner, who should have been well taken care of, died.
The responsibilities of the attending physician are even more ridiculous. She hasn't taken medicine in eight hundred years.
Perhaps everyone in the entire nursing home thought she was sick, but Xie Lingxu, who stopped her medication, definitely knew that she was not sick.
So what exactly is he worried about?
Su Yin couldn't figure it out, but she felt that she could take drastic measures.
＊＊＊
In the afternoon, Gu Qian'an suddenly came to visit with his parents and brothers and sisters.
"Young Sect Master!"
He was like Dabai from Yard No. 1, who started wagging his tail when he saw Su Yin as soon as he entered the door.
"What's wrong?"
Su Yin glanced at Gu's parents and bowed politely to the two elders.
There was nothing wrong with his demeanor.
Gu's father and mother were both a little surprised that the patient who sounded crazy and was always talked about by their son was actually so normal.
After hearing the noise, Xie Lingxu came out of the office and stood in front of Su Yin calmly, greeting the four guests.
Gu's father and mother had cooperated with the Xie family a lot in the past and had met the young master of the Xie family many times. Now they were a little surprised at his personality change.
Gu Qian'an's brother and sister looked at each other.
Tsk, love.
While the adults were talking about business, Gu Qian'an and Su Yin naturally left the conversation circle. The two of them huddled together and whispered about their own affairs.
Gu Qianan said: "My parents don't allow Gu Cheng to live with me. I have to find a chance to tell Zhiyin about this later."
"You reminded me that I should have tested whether Gu Cheng was a human or a ghost." Su Yin insisted on her first impression, "I still think he is not a good person."
"Young Sect Master, do you have a solution?" Gu Qian'an listened attentively.
"We need to first know how Tian Xiao fell in love with that guy."
"I know this." Gu Qianan had talked about this with Tian Xiao, and according to his recollection, "It is said that the man fell in love with Zhiyin at first sight, pursued her very romantically, and even saved her at a party."
He counted on his fingers and repeated a few words Tian Xiao had used at the time, "love at first sight, infatuation at second sight, the third sight is the only one, peerless hero, colorful auspicious clouds... something like that."
Su Yin grinned, "...that's it?"
"That's it."
She repeated to confirm: "Love?"
Gu Qianan replied in Tian Xiao's tone: "Love."
Immediately afterwards, Gu Qian'an changed back to his own tone, his expression becoming very serious, "According to what Zhiyin said about the past, I think that was actually - a bootlicker!"
He said seriously: "Lick the dog, lick the dog, lick to the end, and you will get everything!"
"Everything?" Su Yin's eyes turned green.
"We have everything!" Gu Qian'an was extremely certain.
There are such treasures in the world!
Su Yin has been in the world of immortal cultivation for many years, but he has never heard of anything that can give people everything they want.
She temporarily put Gu Cheng's affairs aside, and with awe in her heart, she asked Gu Qian'an: "How can I get this thing? It's so convenient for people to have everything."
"Just treat me as a bootlicker." Gu Qian'an didn't know how to explain it.
"Just lick the dog?"
Gu Qian'an nodded vigorously.
"I understand. I'll give you credit for this great achievement!"
"Thank you, Young Master!"
The Gu family brothers and sisters who pricked up their ears and eavesdropped: ...
It’s confirmed, he is really sick.
No one has ever been able to communicate with Gu Qian'an so smoothly and without any obstacles.
Gu Qiyue's originally anxious heart suddenly settled down. He had heard his brother mention this young lady from the Su family from time to time before, and his family was worried that this young lady was deliberately approaching Gu Qian'an and wanted to use the Gu family behind him to do something.
After all, what happened in Su Yin's family had been heard among the wealthy families for a long time, and they were afraid that this Miss Su would come up with some evil ideas for revenge.
Now it seems that she is just crazy.
Thinking of this, Gu Qiyue couldn't help but glance at Xie Lingxu who was talking to his parents.
This stuff tastes... really unique.
No wonder I’ve never heard of any gossip about the young master of the Xie family before. Everyone said he was a clean man from a wealthy family. It turns out that’s why.
Tsk tsk.
Xie Lingxu just felt that this person's eyes were inexplicable.
After talking about Gu Cheng, Su Yin suddenly remembered something, waved to Gu Qian'an, and pulled him to a small corner in a conspiratorial manner.
She whispered, "Is there any way you can get that medicine?"
"Which one?"
"It's the kind of magic potion that can make a man reveal his truest thoughts uncontrollably, and can make a man obey everything he says."
Su Yin gestured and described it in as much detail as possible: "The kind of medicine that will make Xie Lingxu listen to me and do whatever I tell him to do after he takes it."
When Su Yin studied medicine in his previous life, he focused on poisons and had not studied these messy medicines, so he could only seek help from the outside world.
She was talking to herself and didn't notice that Gu Qian'an's eyes were gradually shining brightly, like a flickering light bulb.
With such a young master, what else could I ask for in this life!
This was the first time someone had such faith in his talent for medicine!
Back then, in order to refine a peerless miraculous medicine that could help him advance quickly, Gu Qian'an specially found many ancient Chinese medical books and studied them for a long time. Many prescriptions were still memorized in his mind.
Just a magical medicine!
He was very confident: "Yes, I guarantee it!"
You can rub it out by hand without him.
To ensure everything was safe, Su Yin also confirmed: "You know what medicine I'm talking about, right?"
Gu Qian'an nodded frantically.
It's just an aphrodisiac.
He really understands!
