People were coming and going on the street, but at this moment they all seemed to be blurred, and even the noisy sounds gradually disappeared from their ears.
Doctor Zhou stared fixedly at Miss Shen, who was wearing a plain white silk dress, and was unable to think for a moment.
After a moment, he raised his foot and slowly walked towards Miss Shen, finally stopping at a suitable distance.
"Ms. Shen...."
Chen Lingshuang knelt politely and greeted, "Doctor Zhou."
"You... have you always known that I was wrong?" Doctor Zhou asked, looking into her eyes.
Chen Lingshuang showed a puzzled expression, not knowing what he meant by the question.
When Doctor Zhou saw her reaction, he knew that she didn't know that he liked her.
"The girl who treated smallpox patients with me that year... was you, right?" Doctor Zhou asked another question.
Chen Lingshuang's pupils trembled, her expression was stunned, and her hands hanging on both sides subconsciously grasped her dress.
She bit her lip and whispered, "Doctor Zhou, I hope you can keep this a secret."
"So it's you, right?" Doctor Zhou took a step forward with a hint of excitement, his voice urgent.
Shen Lingshuang didn’t know why he was so excited, but still replied, “It’s me.”
Hearing those two words, Doctor Zhou gave a bitter smile.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me when you knew I was wrong?"
After he finished speaking, Doctor Zhou suddenly understood that it was just his wishful thinking back then.
I didn't tell him because there was no need.
Realizing this, Doctor Zhou lowered his eyes dejectedly, then slowly turned around.
But at this moment, Chen Lingshuang reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and then their eyes met.
Shen Lingshuang looked at him eagerly and asked urgently, "What did you do wrong?"
Doctor Zhou's gaze slowly moved from the hand on his sleeve to Shen Lingshuang's eyes, and his voice was low, "I thought Ruoqiu was you."
Hearing his words, Shen Lingshuang was stunned immediately.
What is he talking about? What does it mean that he thinks Ruoqiu is me? He and Ruoqiu...
Suddenly, some images suddenly appeared in Chen Lingshuang's mind, and some sounds also rang out.
After the free clinic ended, in order to cover up her lie, she went to her maternal grandparents' house to meet up with her mother, and then went home together.
Afterwards, she had been troubled for a long time because of Doctor Zhou, so she decided to go find her good friend Zhou Ruoqiu to talk about her feelings.
As a result, Doctor Zhou was seen giving Zhou Ruqiu a gift near Zhou's house, and his words were full of admiration.
Later, Zhou Ruoqiu shared with me her interactions with Doctor Zhou.
"Lingshuang, what do you think of Dr. Zhou from the Imperial Hospital?"
"Lingshuang, he said he likes me."
"Lingshuang, we are together."
"Lingshuang, he said he would come and ask for marriage when I grow up a little bit. Do you know why? Because he thinks it's bad for a girl's health to get married too early, and he's thinking about me."
"Lingshuang, you will bless me, right?"
"Lingshuang, you must come when I get married..."
Those words pierced her heart one by one, and at the same time told her again and again that she was being too sentimental.
Chen Lingshuang understood everything...
She clearly felt Doctor Zhou's feelings for her back then, how could he change so suddenly?
It turns out... everything was wrong.
"Doctor Zhou." Chen Lingshuang looked into his eyes steadily, "You think Ruoqiu is me, so you like her, right?"
Doctor Zhou nodded, "...Yes."
Chen Lingshuang's eyes immediately turned red, "Then why did you ask me those questions today?"
"I want to figure out what I feel now."
"That……"
"Miss." Chen Lingshuang's personal maid suddenly interrupted her, "This is not the place to talk."
Hearing this, Chen Lingshuang subconsciously glanced around. Seeing the people around him looking at her with doubtful eyes, she quickly withdrew her hand from her sleeve.
"Doctor Zhou, can we talk somewhere else?"
Doctor Zhou subconsciously wanted to say "OK", but the words of the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple suddenly came to his mind, so he hesitated.
Seeing this, Chen Lingshuang mistakenly thought that he had confirmed his current feelings and felt that there was no need to say anything more.
But she still held on to hope and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
"Lord Shen hopes that I will not meet you until I am sure of my feelings." Doctor Zhou explained.
Chen Lingshuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second her eyes suddenly widened.
"Father... Father knows?"
Doctor Zhou nodded slightly, "Miss Shen, I don't want to lie to you. When I figure it out, I'll come see you again."
After saying that, he bowed to Miss Shen and turned to leave.
Chen Lingshuang did not speak to keep him, but just looked at the receding figure and murmured to himself: "I will help you figure it out."

Because the weather was cold, Jiang Yueyang did not go anywhere else after leaving the palace and went straight home.
At this moment, she just returned to the door of her house.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Jiang Yueyang saw someone moving things to the house next door.
She looked puzzled. Feng Yichen moved back again?
Although she had doubts in her heart, she was not in a hurry to solve them at this time. So, she withdrew her gaze and walked into the house.
After returning to Lanyue Pavilion, she changed her clothes, and lay on the recliner with Yunyue in her arms. Then she looked at the courtyard wall and called Xiangling over.
"Girl, you called me?"
Jiang Yueyang raised her chin towards the courtyard wall and asked, "Has the family next door moved back again?"
"No. I heard that the Feng family sold the house, and the new owner has moved in now."
