Was he shy?
Seeing that Xue Ran didn't dare to look directly at her, Feng Guang thought to herself how cute shy men are. She decided to take the initiative and went over to sit next to him. When their shoulders touched, Xue Ran froze.
"Hey, Dr. Xue, you're saying Qingyu is so young, yet he can cook and drive a carriage. He's practically an all-rounder. Did you teach him that?" She leaned forward, deliberately getting closer to his ear. With each word she spoke, her breath would seep through the thin veil and fall on his ear.
Xue Ran stiffly moved to the side, but when Feng Guang saw him move, she also moved in his direction, and the distance between them was no different from before.
"Miss Xia..."
"What's wrong, Doctor Xue?" Her voice trailed off with a flirtatious upward inflection, making it easy to believe she was teasing someone. But so what? She was openly flirting, and even if you condemned her behavior, she wouldn't feel ashamed to admit her mistake.
Xue Ran never dared to look at her, "Men and women are different..."
"What are you saying, Doctor Xue?" Feng Guang said in surprise, "You are my father's friend, and I have always regarded you as an elder. If I remember correctly, you are twelve years older than me, a full twelve years. In my heart, I have long regarded you as my uncle."
Oh, Uncle.
Xue Ran couldn't bring himself to say the words, "Men and women are different, we should keep our distance." It sounded like he was thinking some random, incoherent thoughts.
He chose to remain silent.
But Feng Guang wasn't going to let him off the hook. She raised her hand to tidy her hair, but seemingly accidentally touched his body. She seemed oblivious to it. Xue Ran glanced to the other side. If he moved any further, he would fall to the ground. He raised his hand to cover his closed eyes and exhaled deeply.
His expression was one of utter helplessness.
Ke Fengguang thought that even when he was helpless, he was damnably charming. She chuckled inwardly, but put on a puzzled expression, as if she didn't understand why he was troubled. So she poked his shoulder with her finger, and he stiffened again.
"Dr. Xue, what's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood. Do you feel like I'm making you sound old by treating you like an uncle?"
"No," he denied, then didn't know what else to say.
Feng Guang grinned and said, "That's good. I thought you were angry."
Xue Ran hummed in response. He looked down at the book in his hand and stopped looking at her, but his ears turned even redder.
How can this man be so adorable!
Feng Guang, shameless as ever, leaned closer and deliberately asked him, "What book is Dr. Xue reading?"
Before Xue Ran could answer, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Qingyu pushed open the door and poked her head in, "It's time to take your medicine."
Feng Guang immediately pouted, looking at Qing Yu with a bitter and resentful expression.
Qingyu ignored her; he had only come to give a briefing. Then he withdrew his head again.
"Miss Xia, let's get off the bus." Xue Ran put down his book and walked out first, but his back looked a little hurried, as if there were wolves and tigers behind him.
Feng Guang muttered, "That brat Qingyu is always ruining my plans," and then got out of the car.
She had to drink her herbal medicine on time every day. She would drink the medicine in the afternoon, and by evening, the effects of the medicine would spread throughout her body. Next came acupuncture. Of course, Qingyu brewed the medicine, and Xue Ran personally performed the acupuncture.
Feng Guang watched as Qing Yu first started a fire, then took out tools from the luggage in the carriage to boil medicine, and finally sat on a rock to fan the fire with a palm-leaf fan. This series of quick and efficient tasks made her dizzy.
She tugged at Xue Ran's sleeve, "Is Qingyu really a man?"
She had never seen such a domestic boy before!
