From that day on, Luo Yuan would go to the clinic whenever he had time. Sometimes he would bring Yuan Xi some of the latest medical books filled with notes, and sometimes he would just sit there and watch Yuan Xi busying around with the patients. Sometimes when he came across a difficult patient, he would go up to him and offer some advice.

A few days later, Doctor Li told Yuan Xi that she could officially start her career and let her start to diagnose some patients with simple diseases. He also promised to give her a monthly salary in proportion to the consultation fee she received. As soon as she received the advance salary, Yuan Xi's face flushed with excitement. This was the first time she had earned money by herself. Because the medical books Luo Yuan gave her were of great help to her, she offered to treat him to a meal to thank him and celebrate.

Luo Yuan naturally agreed happily. Although Yuan Xi said that she was treating them, she just found a small stall in the alley. Besides the fact that she was short of money, she also didn't dare to go into a big restaurant for fear of exposing her identity.

The two ordered some simple dishes and chatted while eating. Luo Yuan seemed to be in a good mood, so he ordered a pot of wine and slowly poured it. Yuan Xi was not very drunk, so she just ate the dishes and watched him drink. When the meal was finished, it was already dusk, and the eaves around began to light up, covering the two people walking side by side in a dim halo. Luo Yuan was a little tipsy at this moment. He looked down at the overlapping shadows of the two people. The breeze brought a sweet breath, and his heart seemed to be gently brushed by a soft gauze. Suddenly, he wanted to hold her hand.

This thought only flashed through his mind, but he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. At this time, a group of children about ten years old ran through them playfully, and then ran quickly out of the alley. Yuan Xi heard the lively laughter of those children, and her heart suddenly ached. She walked a few steps in a daze, and suddenly she pressed her waist in panic, shouting: "My bracelet! My bracelet is gone!"

Luo Yuan suddenly woke up and realized that the group of kids were probably the pickpockets in the dark alley. So he turned around and chased them, but the alley was winding and there was no way he could find them.

When Luo Yuan turned back with a helpless look on his face, Yuan Xi was standing there anxiously with her head bowed in prayer. When she heard the footsteps approaching, her eyes immediately flashed with anticipation, but Luo Yuan's expression immediately dimmed. She hugged her knees in annoyance, buried her head in her arms and shoulders, and sobbed, "It's all my fault... Why am I so careless, why am I so careless..."

The jasper bracelet was bought by Xiao Du specifically for her and worn by her personally. She had always cherished it very much. On the day she left home, she did not dare to take anything with her except the bracelet. Because she had to do rough work every day, she was afraid that the bracelet would be bumped or damaged, so she carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it close to her waist. Who knew that it would be stolen today when she was not prepared?

Seeing her burying her head and her shoulders shaking, Luo Yuan couldn't help but ask, "What kind of bracelet is it? Is it important? How about I buy another one for you?"

Yuan Xi slowly raised her head, but her eyes were empty. The bracelet he gave her was lost, and the last memories between them were gone. What should she take to live the rest of her life? How should she get through those long nights when she missed him so much that her chest ached?

All the emotions that had been suppressed burst out at this moment, and the vortex of longing attacked like a devastating blow, tearing the wounds in her heart that she thought had scabbed over, and then repeatedly whipping them until they were bleeding and covered with bruises. She opened her mouth, but was too painful to say anything, and just covered her face and cried breathlessly.

Luo Yuan slowly walked to her side and squatted down. He had seen everything clearly. He concealed the sadness in his eyes and said softly, "Since you can't bear to leave him, why don't you go back to find him?"

Yuan Xi sat on the ground hugging her knees, crying like a helpless child, shaking her head and crying, "No, I can't go find him. They want to harm him, I can't let them succeed. He can't live without a child. Do you understand? He can't live without a child."

Luo Yuan stretched out his hand and stopped an inch in front of her bun, stroking her hair and cheeks through the air. How could he not understand: the pain of being loved but not being able to be with her, the sadness of wanting to see her but having to suppress it, the countless nights of longing for her but even a glance at her from a distance was a luxury.

The night was dark before he knew it. The cold moonlight illuminated two figures in the dark alley. One buried her head and cried uncontrollably, while the other squatted beside her, silently accompanying her with a focused gaze. Luo Yuan's hand was suspended in the air. The cold wind slid across his fingertips, finally making him fully sober. He smiled bitterly, lowered his head, and said silently in his heart: Wanwan, don't worry, I won't let you suffer like this anymore. At least one of us can be happy.

On the second day, just as the sky was getting light, a horse-drawn carriage sped along the long street, the horn bells hanging on the roof jingling, and finally stopped in an alley opposite the gate of Huichun Hall.

A large hand opened the car curtain, and a voice in the car asked, suppressing its excitement: "Is this the place?"

Another voice replied, "Mr. Luo said that this is the Huichuntang Pharmacy. Don't worry, Lord Hou. You should be able to see Madam when the door opens."

Xiao Du uttered a heavy "hmm", and every moment after that became very unbearable, until the smoke from the houses on the street slowly rose, and the door of Huichun Hall finally creaked open from the inside. Xiao Du suddenly opened the car curtain, staring at the figure busy inside the door, and couldn't help but think with gritted teeth: Without him, she could live so easily and freely. But he was tormented day and night, wishing to dig out all the memories of her to get a moment of peace.

He then got out of the car with a sullen face and walked towards that direction. Xiaochun, who was behind him, just wanted to follow him, but he turned around and glared at her fiercely, so she had to lower her head and get into the car.

Yuan Xi had almost not slept the whole night before, and was still a little dazed. She sat beside Doctor Li with her head down and sorted out the medical records in her hands. Suddenly, she heard a cold voice saying, "Who is the doctor here?"

She froze in an instant, her heart pounding like crazy, and she suspected that she was hallucinating because she thought too much about him, so she raised her head and looked forward. She didn't expect that the person who had appeared in her dreams thousands of times was actually standing in front of her. Yuan Xi was completely stunned on the spot, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

But after not seeing him for half a month, he looked so haggard. Xiao Du in front of her had lost a lot of weight, his face was covered with stubble, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and even his eyes, which were always bright, had completely lost their spirit. At this moment, his eyes were staring at her fiercely, almost making her unable to hide.

Yuan Xi was panicked and distressed, and didn't know what to do for a moment. She just kept lowering her head, wishing she could bury it in the stack of paper in her hands and never come out.

Doctor Li saw that the young man in front of him had an aristocratic aura, but his eyes were very unfriendly. He couldn't help but feel a little scared. He quickly smiled and said, "I am the doctor. May I ask what disease you have?"

Xiao Du sat at the table with his robe lifted up, his eyes fixed on Yuan Xi who was looking down and not daring to look at him. He uttered a few words coldly: "Lovesickness!"

Doctor Li immediately looked like he had eaten shit, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This young man looks handsome, but his brain is not very good. So he cleared his throat, tried to keep his expression unchanged, and continued to smile: "This... This small shop can't cure it, young man, you should go to another clinic."

Xiao Du raised his chin slightly, pointed at Yuan Xi, who was hiding her face with paper and curling herself up into a ball next to Doctor Li, and said, "I want her to treat me!"

Doctor Li looked back in surprise at Yuan Xi, who was dressed in men's clothes, and then turned to look at Xiao Du. Only then did he realize that the young man in front of him seemed to have been staring at Xiao Xi since he entered the room. He finally realized: No wonder the young man in front of him looked a little strange, it turns out he likes this kind of thing!
