◎Dr. Pei’s fiancée.◎
Yaowang Valley is really a good place to be isolated from the world. When An Jiu woke up early in the morning, he could smell the faint fragrance of flowers drifting in from outside the house. The window was half opened at some point, and there was a flower in the white porcelain vase on the table in front of the window. The cool morning breeze came in from the window, mixed with wisps of white mist like green smoke. A deep breath of it was refreshing.
Shuzhong is a valley, with clouds covering the sky all year round and little sunshine. Yaowang Valley is a valley within a valley, and while it is scorching hot in other places, the climate in the valley is as warm as late spring.
However, this kind of place is most suitable for growing plants. An Jiu's biggest feeling since coming to Yaowang Valley is that he discovered many flowers blooming here.
Outside the house where she lived, there were flowers in full bloom, and the whole house seemed to be immersed in a sea of flowers.
Originally she was worried about the problem of snakes and mosquitoes, but after asking Pei Ji she found out that most of the flowers and plants planted outside the house were medicinal herbs that would repel mosquitoes. She felt a little relieved.
An Jiu slowly got up from the bed, but before he got out of bed, someone walked in from outside the door.
The man was wearing white clothes, had black hair and was tall and slender. The white robe he wore was not as neat and clean as he had imagined. The collar of his robe was loosely gathered, and the long sleeves were stained with scattered dark green grass juice.
An Jiu knew at a glance that he had just returned from collecting herbs in the herb fields.
There are naturally large tracts of medicinal fields in Yaowang Valley, and many of the herbs are quite precious. Pei Ji was not at ease leaving it to servants to serve them, so he would go and look after them himself.
The man walked towards her step by step. Before he arrived in front of her, the fresh and slightly bitter medicinal fragrance invaded her, like a fine invisible net, completely wrapping the girl on the bed.
An Jiu raised her eyes and watched him approaching. When he squatted beside the bed and held her soft feet, she subconsciously retracted her legs.
"My hands are a little cold," she said.
"I just went to see the medicinal fields." Pei Ji said softly, withdrew his hand, rubbed his fingertips together with his palms together until they were warm, then he pinched the girl's white and tender feet again and put on her shoes.
Every time An Jiu saw him like this, he felt like a slave owner who drove slaves.
Although she was delicate, she was not so delicate that she needed help to put on her shoes.
But she didn't know since when, he slowly took charge of all the affairs around her. As soon as she woke up, he would appear on time, and then naturally put on her shoes, comb her hair, prepare for her washing, and serve her meals.
An Jiu seriously doubted whether Pei Ji had any idea about falling in love?
Does love mean serving each other attentively?
Could it be that he hadn't served her well enough before? Or did he think that her tormenting him before was a sign of love?
"Pei Ji, what kind of flower is that?"
An Jiu pointed at the snow-white flowers on the windowsill and asked.
Pei Ji turned his head and took a look, then said in a gentle voice: "It is Hibiscus mutabilis. Its flowers and leaves can be used as medicine. It can clear away heat, detoxify, reduce swelling and discharge pus..."
He stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.
It was because the girl on the bed was leaning forward slightly and lowering her head to kiss the corner of his lips.
Pei Ji suddenly became motionless, as if he was stiff as a stone sculpture. He didn't even dare to turn his head back. He could only feel the wet and hot touch at the corner of his lips, spreading little by little until it spread to his lips. The girl gently opened her lips and bit him. His lips felt hot and numb, as if countless ants were crawling on them.
"You..." He opened his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a word.
It slipped into the gap between his teeth as smoothly as a little snake, bringing with it an inexplicable fragrance. Pei Ji almost felt dizzy. The little snake teased him curiously, but he didn't know how to respond. The little snake wanted to leave out of boredom, but he suddenly woke up at this moment, and like a awakened beast, he quickly chased after it.
An Jiu raised her eyes and looked at the man's red eyes, a fleeting smile flashed in her eyes.
This guy is still pretending to be innocent in front of her. He did those things to her before when he was Fei Yi. Now he is wearing Pei Ji's skin and starting to act like an ordinary person.
In the end, wasn't it that as soon as she teased him, his true colors were revealed immediately?
This kiss was the first explicit intimate contact they had had since they understood each other's feelings.
Anjiu didn't feel much, just a little numbness on the tip of her tongue. She didn't even feel the heat when she was scalded while eating breakfast.
Pei Ji's reaction was huge. After it was over, her fair face turned red, the corners of her eyes were also flushed, her eyelashes kept trembling, and the look in her eyes seemed to make tears come out.
An Jiu couldn't stand his gaze. Every time she looked at him, she felt like a deceitful and scumbag.
After dinner, she urged him, "Aren't you going to treat people? Don't keep them waiting for too long."
Perhaps it was because An Jiu’s character of “liking good guys” was too firmly established, Pei Ji had been trying his best to play the role of a good guy in front of her recently. Even An Jiu could see with her naked eyes that he actually wanted to be with her more.
An Jiu still ruthlessly drove him out.
Who made her like Dr. Pei, who saves lives?
After Pei Ji left, An Jiu asked the maid to take her for a stroll in the valley. She had been in Yaowang Valley for almost ten days, and she had been coming here like this all the time. Pei Ji had probably told people that any place in the valley was open to her, so she could go anywhere.
Yaowang Valley has been passed down for nearly a hundred years. Many courtyards have been built in the valley, most of which were funded by patients who came to seek medical treatment. Many people's diseases cannot be cured overnight and require daily diagnosis and treatment. At this time, they will choose to find a place in the valley to build a house.
When the patient recovers and leaves, the house remains, waiting for the next patient to move in.
These houses are of various styles, including pavilions, small buildings, large courtyards, and quiet residences. Some are magnificent, some are quiet and elegant, some are simple and rough, and some are small and unique.
Many of them were occupied. An Jiu would occasionally run into a patient who was out for a walk. The maid would then come out and say that she was the valley master's fiancée, and An Jiu would immediately receive a lot of praise and compliments.
Walking to the very end, An Jiu saw a small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River.
There are white walls, green tiles and a vermilion porch. There is a peach orchard outside the courtyard. The peach blossoms have long since faded, and there are many peaches on the trees, most of which are ripe but not picked. Ripe peaches have fallen to the ground, and the air is filled with sweet fruity fragrance.
"There are so many peaches, let's pick them today!" An Jiu ordered the maid to bring a basket.
She was waiting alone in the peach grove when she suddenly heard a faint cough behind her.
When An Jiu turned around, he saw a beautiful woman who looked three times more beautiful than Xi Shi when she was sick.
The woman was thin and frail, her cheeks were snow-white without a trace of blood, her lips were pale, her beautiful eyes were a little watery, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and there was a strong sense of illness lingering around the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
The woman seemed to recognize An Jiu. She coughed twice and asked, "Is this Miss An?"
An Jiu nodded, "It's me, do you recognize me?"
The woman said, "Miss An is the fiancée of Dr. Pei. How could I not recognize her? All the patients in this valley who know Dr. Pei will know that he has a fiancée."
An Jiu frowned slightly.
There seemed to be nothing wrong with what she said, but there was something strangely weird about the woman's tone.
She looked at the woman and asked calmly, "Who are you?"
The woman bent her knees slightly and said softly, "My last name is Wen Yueling, and my father is the head of the Qingfeng Sect."
"It turns out to be you." An Jiu suddenly realized.
Wen Yueling's expression flashed with a trace of imperceptible joy, and her pale cheeks flushed slightly: "Miss An, have you ever heard anyone talk about me?"
Since coming to Medicine King Valley, Wen Yueling has never left the house, let alone met many people. The person she comes into contact with most often is Doctor Pei, who comes to diagnose and treat her every day.
With the treatment day by day, she was able to get out of bed and walk a little bit. She was no longer like before, lying in bed all day, staring at the small amount of sunlight through the window.
The man in white, who was graceful and gentle as jade, gradually walked into her heart as his body slowly recovered.
Falling in love with Pei Ji is really a very simple thing.
Wen Yueling had been suffering from the disease since she was a child. From birth to the age of eighteen, she had never seen outsiders, let alone had any contact with men, because many doctors said that she would not live past the age of twenty with this disease.
Now that Doctor Pei has saved her, he is like a god and has given her a new life. How can she not like him?
What's more, he was so handsome, dressed in white and as bright as the moon, and he was always so gentle and patient. Wen Yueling once felt inferior because of her sickly face, but he never disliked her appearance and always treated her gently and politely.
However, when her health gradually improved and she began to be able to go out, Wen Yueling suddenly heard bad news.
It turned out that Doctor Pei already had a fiancée.
She didn't believe it at first, but one time when Dr. Pei came to treat her, she mustered up the courage to ask him. However, she didn't expect that the man who was always calm and indifferent in the eyes of outsiders actually showed a very bright smile and told her with certainty that he did have a fiancée.
His love for his fiancée was obvious to all. Wen Yueling learned from other patients that Doctor Pei often talked about his fiancée to others.
It was because he often talked about it that the whole valley knew that good things were coming to him.
This shows how much he loves her.
Wen Yueling couldn't control her jealousy. She thought countless times, what would a woman like to be liked by Dr. Pei look like? Is she beautiful? What's so special about her? Why did Dr. Pei love her so much?
Until she met this Miss An.
Upon seeing this, Wen Yueling felt even more jealous.
Unlike her frail appearance, An Jiu was healthy and had a rosy complexion. She stood there with her chin slightly raised, her red dress as fiery as fire, and her whole body exuded an indelible sense of strength and arrogance.
Wen Yueling couldn't imagine why Dr. Pei would like such a woman?
It is obvious at first glance that An Jiu is not a virtuous and gentle woman, but the daughter of a wealthy and powerful family. How can such a woman take care of her husband and do housework if she is married into the family?
Not to mention asking her to take care of others, I'm afraid she won't need others to take care of her.
Especially after hearing what An Jiu said, Wen Yueling couldn't help but feel a little surprised and expectant. Could it be that Doctor Pei mentioned her in front of Miss An?
Otherwise, who would know her name, Wen Yueling?
Sure enough, after hearing her ask this, the red-dressed woman in front of her changed her expression, and looked at her with a strange look. Wen Yueling didn't understand, but she heard her say, "Pei Ji mentioned it."
Wen Yueling's face turned even redder, and she couldn't help asking, "I wonder how Doctor Pei mentioned me?"
An Jiu looked at the obvious expectation in the woman's expression, smiled slightly, and said, "He told me that you would not live past the age of 20. You are quite similar to him."
Wen Yueling was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Why doesn't she understand?
An Jiu smiled and said, "Don't you know? Pei Ji won't live past 20 either. Maybe he felt sympathy for you and mentioned it to you."
The next moment, she saw the blush on Wen Yueling's face fade away quickly.
The results are immediate and significant.
