"Life is not an answer sheet. Many things are not about right or wrong, but about choices. Once you've done something, there's no point in looking back. Only by looking forward can you see the vastness of the world."
Seeing Ye Jinyu's complicated expression, Lu Zhufeng offered some serious words of comfort, a rare occurrence for him.
"Is this something you could come up with?"
Ye Jinyu looked at him with a suspicious expression upon hearing this.
Oh shit.
Why do you look down on people?
But in the end, he admitted with a dark face, "It was that pretentious woman who said it."
Ye Jinyu lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, saying nothing more, but simply turned her gaze back to the distance.
It's no wonder that someone with a broad mind like the starry sky, yet possessing delicate and meticulous thoughts, is so likable.
"By the way, when did you fall for Lin Qingyi? I only recently noticed, but judging from your deeply infatuated and dramatic appearance, it probably wasn't just a day or two ago."
Seeing that Ye Jinyu's emotions had calmed down a bit, Lu Zhufeng asked in a very carefree manner.
Grandma's.
I've been answering your questions and comforting you, I'm practically hoarse from talking so much, and you still don't want any gossip to spill out?
That's not how you chat!
Ye Jinyu wasn't annoyed by his almost stabbing question. Instead, a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes, her gaze deep and complex.
yes!
When did he fall for her?
He had known of her existence for a long time. After Xiao Wujie came to the capital, he was entrusted by Chu Liyue to become his attending physician.
When he received the results of those tests, he was utterly bewildered; it was truly remarkable that this person had survived until now.
While Chu Liyue's willingness to invest in top-tier medical resources at any cost certainly played a part, he was equally certain that Xiao Wujie had a highly skilled doctor serving him long-term.
Judging from the numerous treatment marks on Xiao Wujie's body, the other party was clearly a Chinese medicine practitioner with unfathomable skill.
He had always been fascinated by medicine, and seeing the other party's many ingenious treatment methods that were beyond his own field of study, he couldn't help but feel a strong urge to meet this low-key yet highly skilled doctor.
I have admired his name even before I have met him.
Perhaps from that moment on, a seed about her had already been planted in his heart.
The first time I met her was after Chu Liyue returned from the far north, and she also lived with her at Liyue Manor.
He was immediately captivated by her at their very first meeting.
I had assumed this highly accomplished traditional Chinese medicine practitioner would be a wise and venerable elder, but instead she turned out to be a beautiful woman from Jiangnan with an ethereal and graceful demeanor.
Her elegance, as if she had stepped out of a delicate ink painting, combined with the unique gentleness and poetic charm of the misty Jiangnan region, instantly captivated him.
When the two of them actually sat down together to discuss Xiao Wujie's condition and his various insights into medical techniques, he was completely captivated.
Her elegant and composed demeanor, gentle and charming temperament, superb medical skills and insights, and medical philosophy that was remarkably consistent with his own made him feel for the first time that "a thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a kindred spirit."
In his life, no one had ever given him the same special feeling as Lin Qingyi.
He began to uncontrollably want to get close to her, and even just sitting with her gave him an indescribable feeling that eventually turned into joy and pleasure that flowed through every corner of his body.
But gradually he also discovered that although Lin Qingyi appeared gentle and easy-going, no matter how close he got, she always gave him a strange sense of distance.
He later discovered that this sense of distance wasn't just directed at him; it seemed to apply to everyone.
Besides Xiao Wujie...
She personally attended to every detail of every bowl of herbal medicine he drank, from preparing the medicine to starting the stove to serving the soup, and only left quietly after watching him drink it.
When Chu Liyue was not at the manor, she would carefully prepare calming incense for him, gently cover him with a blanket while he slept, and sometimes she would quietly watch his sleeping face for a long time.
She sat with Xiao Wujie, and the genuine, touching smile on her face, along with the barely perceptible sadness that flashed in her eyes as she silently watched Xiao Wujie and Chu Liyue together, suddenly made his heart ache with a strange bitterness.
At that moment, he knew he was doomed.
He didn't even know when he had fallen for her.
All I know is that the seeds planted long ago have silently taken root and sprouted in the soil of my heart, and when the spring breeze blows, flowers bloom everywhere.
When he realized it, his heart was already filled with vibrant colors and a dazzling display of beauty.
"I... I don't know either. By the time I found out, it was too late."
After a long silence, Ye Jinyu uttered a heartfelt truth in a hoarse voice.
"Forehead……"
Lu Zhufeng opened his mouth awkwardly, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but found himself at a loss for words. In the end, he simply clinked glasses with him silently and drank it all in one gulp.
"Sometimes I wonder if some things are destined to be like the stars in the sky, unreachable by people."
"It is precisely because it is untouchable and always kept at a distance that it appears even more beautiful."
A large blush rose on her fair face, and Ye Jinyu gazed at the night sky above with a slightly dazed look, murmuring softly.
"That's what people without wives usually say!"
Lu Zhufeng retorted with a blank expression.
That pretentious guy has said those kinds of things before, but ever since he returned to Miss Chu's side...
To hell with that leg-length distance! Nobody's as close to him as he is!
Ye Jinyu was so provoked by his words that she almost choked on her own saliva; they were truly too damaging.
After a long while, Ye Jinyu finally recovered and, mimicking his tone, swore for the first time ever.
