After he reminded him, Mr. Xu remembered that he had been in his hometown for nearly half a year. A trace of discomfort flashed across his face, but he still said stubbornly: "So what? Can't you send me a letter?"
Shen Yanli stopped talking and just stared at him quietly.
Old Xu cleared his throat and thought of something. It seemed that he had never told him the specific address of his hometown.
"Forget it, you young people don't like to chat with old people. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Old Xu waved his hands, as if forgiving his concealment.
As he spoke, Old Xu turned his gaze to Zhou Yunwan, with a kind smile on his face: "You have a good eye, the wife you found is indeed much prettier than my Yanyan, and she is worthy of you."
Zhou Yunwan listened to them quietly, and when the conversation turned to her, she smiled and agreed, but her heart skipped a beat. Who is Yanyan? It sounds like something happened between him and Shen Yanli.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Shen Yanli vaguely. The latter received her death gaze, and the veins on his forehead jumped. This old man really brought up things that were not related to the topic.
Shen Yanli pursed his lips, picked up the medicine on the table with one hand, and took the hand of the person next to him with the other hand: “Mr. Xu, we will go back today and visit you another day.”
In front of the elders, Zhou Yunwan calmly avoided Shen Yanli's hand, smiled and said goodbye to Old Xu: "Old Xu, see you next time."
...
...
"Okay, go back." Old Xu watched the young couple leave and sighed silently. If his Yanyan knew that her brother Yanli was already married, she would probably be sad for a while.
Old Xu sighed: "Alas, it is ultimately not meant to be."
It’s hard to say about feelings, but why is Shen Yanli unwilling to be his apprentice?
You have to know that he has superb medical skills and a great reputation. There are at least thousands of young medical students in the entire Beijing city who want to learn medicine from him, but Shen Yanli is an exception.
I can’t figure it out. I really can’t figure it out.
Old Xu sighed again, then handed over the front desk matters to his apprentice and walked slowly towards the backyard with his hands behind his back.
After walking out of the Chinese medicine clinic, Shen Yanli felt his back tingling, as if needles were invisibly piercing his skin.
Zhou Yunwan walked behind with her chest folded, glaring at Shen Yanli in front of her from time to time. She waited for him to explain himself, but he seemed not to realize the seriousness of the problem and kept silent all the way.
Since he didn't speak, she pretended to be dumb, to see who could hold it in longer.
Under the scorching sun at two or three in the afternoon, the bicycle landed steadily under the public shed in the family compound.
There were not many people outside at this time, and the place looked empty. Zhou Yunwan picked up her bag and walked silently along the shade towards the entrance of the building.
Shen Yanli followed closely, carrying the medicine bag.
"Wife." Shen Yanli opened his thin lips slightly, and his cool voice floated into her ears with the wind, making people unable to stop.
Zhou Yunwan didn't turn around, and asked in a muffled voice: "What?"
She thought he had sensed her unhappiness, so he came over to show his good will. As long as he handed her a ladder, she could take the opportunity to ask about Yanyan, but things were always different from what she imagined.
He asked hoarsely, "I want to ask what you want to eat tonight?"
Zhou Yunwan snorted unhappily: "Whatever."
After saying these two words, she couldn't help but quicken her pace up the stairs, but she was so angry that she didn't notice the faint curve at the corner of the person's mouth behind her.
Zhou Yunwan worked hard, searching her bag for the key while planning to hide in the bedroom when she got home, letting Chen Yanli figure out what he had done wrong. If he couldn't figure it out, he would be punished by having him sleep in the study tonight.
A man who can't even detect his wife's emotional changes is simply unqualified!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yunwan puffed up her cheeks in anger, took out her key, opened the door, put her bag down and changed her shoes in one go. But just as she was about to leave, someone suddenly grabbed her arm from behind and pressed her against the door.
Zhou Yunwan was immersed in her own thoughts and for a moment she didn't notice and subconsciously screamed out.
The familiar scent of the man enveloped the surroundings, strong and cold, and his arms were like a solid wall, encircling her like a prison, locking her tightly in his territory.
After being stunned, Zhou Yunwan raised her eyes and met someone's ambiguous gaze.
She bit her lower lip and reached out to push him: "What are you doing?"
The sweet and soft fragrance rushed into her nose, Shen Yanli buried his head in her collarbone, tilted his head and kissed her cheek, and said in a tender voice: "Wife, you are not jealous because of a name, right?"
Zhou Yunwan turned her head away proudly, with a sour face, and muttered softly: "I don't understand what you are saying."
She pretended not to care on the surface, but her heart was already in turmoil. He knew clearly that she was angry and jealous, but he said nothing along the way. It turned out that he was deliberately trying to bully and tease her.
Humph, she wouldn't let him have his wish.
When Shen Yanli heard her words, he raised his eyebrows helplessly. It was harder than climbing to the sky to get some truth from her. He replied indifferently with his lips curled: "It seems that I misunderstood..."
As he said this, he took two steps back.
Seeing that he was not going to continue this topic, Zhou Yunwan became anxious and grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
Zhou Yunwan narrowed her beautiful eyes, gritted her teeth and asked angrily: "Tell me, what name would make me jealous?"
Fearing that he might play dumb, she added, "Could it be Yanyan?"
Shen Yanli sighed softly, took the initiative to hug her waist, and smiled meaningfully: "So, my wife, you are jealous because of Yanyan?"
“…”
Zhou Yunwan’s face changed, and then he realized that he had been tricked by him, and he couldn’t help but drop a punch on his shoulder: “Chen Yanli, you tricked me!”
This punch of hers was not light, she used 60% to 70% of her strength, but to Shen Yanli, it was just like a tickle.
A jealous wife is so cute.
He chuckled, squeezed her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, then slowly began to explain to her.
When Shen Yanli was about 20 years old, he accidentally saved Mr. Xu who was almost hit by a car, and the two met each other.
Old Xu saw that Shen Yanli was smart and had a high level of comprehension, a good memory, and top-notch comprehension ability, and he was simply an expert in studying medicine.
Old Xu valued talent, so he wanted to make an exception and accept Chen Yanli as his apprentice. However, at that time he had already decided to pursue a path of scientific research, so he declined his request. However, Old Xu was stubborn and would not give up until he achieved his goal, so the two of them remained in a stalemate.
Since taking in apprentices was not feasible, Mr. Xu chose to find another way.
He tried to bring his granddaughter Xu Yan and Shen Yanli together, trying to make Shen Yanli his grandson-in-law, but the result was not to his liking.
Chen Yanli didn't like his granddaughter, but his granddaughter liked Chen Yanli.
I have feelings for you, but you are heartless. My heart is secretly in love with you, but it is destined to never blossom.
Old Xu didn't get what he wanted, and his son's family blamed him for matchmaking and harming their daughter.
Later, Chen Yanli went to study abroad and they had no contact for a few years. The matter was forgotten until Chen Yanli returned to China after completing his studies and moved to the dormitory assigned by the research institute near the medical clinic. They then started to contact each other again.
Shen Dewen had injured his leg, and Shen Yanli learned massage from Mr. Xu, and even invited Mr. Xu to come to Shen Dewen's house to check his leg.
Until now, Mr. Xu still occasionally suggests that he be a nominal apprentice to ease his regret.
Unfortunately, Shen Yanli still disagreed.
Old Xu called his apprentice without caring about anything else. Chen Yanli had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.
As for his granddaughter, he hasn't seen her for a long time.
