Chapter 54: Candy Crush "I want——" Pei Yixue looked at the person, her eyebrows...
After seeing off the distinguished guest, Pei Yixue took off his miracle doctor costume and went downstairs.
As soon as he came out of the pharmacy, he saw Chang Feng waiting at the door, which scared him.
"When did the Liming Pharmacy open here?" Chang Feng looked at him from head to toe. "How come you seem to have a dog's nose and can find the Liming Pharmacy everywhere?"
Pei Yixue breathed a sigh of relief, "Only Dr. Xu can cure my illness, so he will naturally pay more attention to Liming Pharmacy."
"Really? Taoyuan County, Yancheng, and Beijing." Chang Feng looked up at the plaque of Liming Pharmacy, counting the locations one after another, and then squinted at Pei Yixue: "Why do I feel like Liming Pharmacy is circling around you? Wherever you are, it will be there."
Pei Yixue's heart skipped a beat: "Mr. Chang, you are too kind. I don't have that ability yet."
Chang Feng was silent for a moment, but he did not forget to pull him down at the right time: "That's right."
The weather was fine and it was still early. Facing the warm sun, Pei Yixue planned to walk along the street. If Chang Feng wasn't with him, he would be in a happier mood.
There are many vendors along the road, selling rouge and powder, gold and silver jewelry, tea stalls and noodle shops.
"What's so good about this place?" Before they had walked far, Chang Feng said disdainfully, "Jiuyun Restaurant is not far from here. It's very famous in Beijing, and a table there is hard to come by at a high price. You just arrived in Beijing, so you should go check out these places more often. I happened to have reserved a table, so when Ah Shu gets off duty, we can get together."
Pei Yixue declined: "No need to bother."
People were hurrying along the road, and further ahead, a luxurious three-story building came into view.
There is a vermilion lacquered gate, a plaque with gold characters on a black background, and two huge bronze cranes on both sides, holding hexagonal sheepskin palace lanterns in their mouths.
But what attracted Pei Yixue's attention was the figure in front of the counter on the first floor.
Chang Feng looked in the direction he was looking at. "Ah Shu? Why is Ah Shu here at this moment?"
Stepping into Guanyuxuan, Pei Yixue called softly, "Ashu."
Turning around and seeing Pei Yixue, Xie Yushu's eyes lit up. He didn't know what he had just bought in his hand, but Pei Yixue quickly hid it in his sleeve.
Pei Yixue glanced at Xie Yushu's cuffs, then raised his head slyly and looked at Xie Yushu.
Chang Feng looked around the store and asked, "Ashu, are you here to buy something?"
"Yeah." Xie Yushu answered, but his eyes were fixed on Pei Yixue.
"It's so early today. I just told Pei Yixue to wait for you to finish your shift and go to Jiuyun Tower together."
Xie Yushu looked at Pei Yixue, with a hint of vagueness and hesitation in his eyes. He didn't know how to answer. From what he knew, Pei Yixue would most likely not agree to Chang Feng.
"It's still early." Pei Yixue smiled, "Ah Shu finally has some free time, would you like to go shopping with me?"
"Okay." Xie Yushu replied.
Chang Feng had a feeling that the atmosphere between the two was not right. Since they met, they had been staring at each other with eyes that were almost disgusting.
When they were in Yancheng, Xie Yushu didn't treat Pei Yixue like this. What happened during the days when he was kept at home by his father?
Walking on the street, Pei Yixue and Xie Yushu were talking and laughing in front, and Chang Feng followed behind. He felt as if someone had poured several jars of vinegar into his heart, and the sour tide surged up, causing a dull pain in his chest.
"The cooking skills of the Imperial Kitchen, the prices of Suzaku Street! Don't miss it if you pass by, come and try it, try it!"
In front of a pastry stall, Pei Yixue was attracted by the hawking sounds and stopped.
The stall owner was sharp-eyed and when he saw Pei Yixue stop, he immediately smiled and greeted her warmly.
"Hey, sir, here's the freshly baked Imperial Concubine's Drunkenness. It's so delicious that the Imperial Concubine ate it and refused even Emperor Tang Minghuang's lychees! Would you like to try it?"
Before Pei Yixue could speak, Xie Yushu beside him had already taken out a piece of silver from his pocket, handed it to the boss, and said, "Please give me three pieces of each."
"Okay, wait a moment, sir!" The stall owner quickly packed the cakes into three portions and handed them to Xie Yushu with both hands, "Here, sir."
Xie Yushu picked up two bags, opened one and handed it to Pei Yixue, his eyes full of tenderness.
Pei Yixue looked at the cakes in front of her and smiled brightly, "Thank you, Ah Shu, for the treat."
He reached out and picked up a piece of honey-brewed chestnut cake, put it to his mouth and took a light bite. The fried glutinous rice flour on the outside had a faint burnt aroma that spread on the tip of his tongue.
Take a second bite, the chestnut paste inside is soft and dense, with just the right sweetness, as if one spoonful of osmanthus honey was mixed with three spoonfuls of aged wine. The taste is rich and layered, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
He munched on the snacks as Xie Yushu just stared at him with affection in his eyes that seemed to be overflowing.
Seeing Xie Yushu like this, Pei Yixue was naturally happy, but... he leaned forward slightly to get closer to Xie Yushu, and said softly with a smile: "Ah Shu, please take your eyes off me, otherwise the neighbors will soon know that Lord Xie of Jingzhao Prefecture admires me."
"Okay." Xie Yushu's eyes moved away from his face in a panic, but he didn't know where to put them, so he could only stare at the delicious snack in his hand.
Pei Yixue felt amused. He didn’t want to hang out outside anymore. He wanted to take Xie Yushu home.
"Why do you have to get closer to talk?" Chang Feng pushed the two of them apart, stood in the middle, and glared at Pei Yixue fiercely. At this moment, he really wanted to strangle Pei Yixue to death.
Pei Yixue seemed not to notice, with a smile on her face: "The honey-brewed chestnut cake tastes good, would you like to try it, Mr. Chang?"
"Is this the first day we met?" Chang Feng was immediately furious when he heard this, and gritted his teeth and said, "We have known each other for a year, young master, do I have no name?"
"If Mr. Chang doesn't want to eat, then forget it." Pei Yixue answered himself.
"Pei, Yixue!" Chang Feng clenched his fists so hard that the joints turned white.
"Chang Feng." Seeing this, Xie Yushu was really afraid that Chang Feng would punch Pei Yixue in the face, so he quickly went around to Pei Yixue and protected him behind him.
"Ashu..." Chang Feng suppressed his anger, "You don't understand him at all. He is not what you see."
Xie Yushu glanced at Pei Yixue with a firm look in his eyes: "I know."
"You, you know... No, you don't know at all." Chang Feng said angrily, with his hands on his hips.
"Ashu, I suddenly feel a little tired and want to go back and rest." Pei Yixue gently pulled Xie Yushu's sleeve. His voice sounded a little tired, but there was a hint of imperceptible cunning in his eyes.
"Okay." Xie Yushu responded immediately. He leaned over to support Pei Yixue, his expression full of concern, and carefully led him to the tea stall next to the pastry stall.
As he walked, he whispered, "I'll call a carriage. You sit at the tea stall and wait for me. Don't run around."
After Xie Yushu left in a hurry, only Pei Yixue and Chang Feng were left sitting opposite each other at the tea stall.
Pei Yixue was drinking tea while Chang Feng folded his arms and stared at him with a bitter and resentful look.
"Chang Feng, we have known each other for quite some time." Pei Yixue put down her teacup, looked back calmly, and said in a slow and steady voice, "I advise you that Ah Shu will never be with you. It is better to let go as soon as possible. It will be better for everyone."
Chang Feng snorted coldly: "There is no way you can be with me? You make it sound as if Ah Shu can be with you."
Pei Yixue paused for two seconds, and then said calmly, "I have come to this point, it's up to you whether you want to listen or not."
Chang Feng's eyes were fixed on Pei Yixue, and his voice was questioning: "What about you? You keep asking me to let go. But Ah Shu can't resign from his post. He can't be with me, nor with you."
Pei Yixue remained silent. Seeing this, Chang Feng's eyes turned red with anger, and he shouted excitedly: "Pei Yixue, why are you doing this? On the one hand, you are trying your best to send someone into the officialdom, and on the other hand, you are following him like a follower. What are you trying to achieve?"
Pei Yixue stared straight into Chang Feng's eyes, speaking each word with a serious expression: "After all, the goal is not to break a person's wings or tie him to your side."
Chang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean?"
Pei Yixue's tone was gentle but very serious: "What I mean is, if you like someone, in addition to considering your own happiness, you should also consider whether the other person is happy."
Chang Feng moved his lips, stared at Pei Yixue for a long time with complicated eyes, and suddenly sneered, "Okay, you are noble, you are great, I, Chang Feng, am a villain, and I would rather and only be a villain."
Hearing Chang Feng's words, Pei Yixue's eyes suddenly became stern, revealing a chilling sense of danger.
Thinking of Chang Feng's crazy actions in the original book, he warned him in a cold tone: "I won't bother with you about your little fights on weekdays, but if you dare to do anything to hurt Ah Shu, don't blame me for being rude to you."
In the original book, Chang Feng was deeply in love with Liao Qiubai, and he tried everything from drugging, kidnapping, imprisoning, and even trying to rape her. To Xie Yushu now, Chang Feng is a time bomb that might explode suddenly one day.
Chang Feng's face instantly turned gloomy when he heard that. He exerted force on the hand holding the teacup, and with a crisp sound, the teacup shattered in his hand.
Blood gushed out from between his fingers, but Chang Feng was unaware of it. He clenched his teeth tightly. The tear in his right eye socket struggled for a moment, but finally couldn't hold it back, leaving a tear mark on his tense face.
"I want to see how you can be rude to me!"
Pei Yixue stared at the clear tear mark on Chang Feng's cheek for a long time without looking away.
Angry and crying?
"I'm waiting!" Chang Feng gritted his teeth and said the harsh words. Then he turned around and walked away with big strides.
Xie Yushu brought the carriage back, and Pei Yixue was the only one left at the tea stall. He came to the table and asked, "Chang Feng, are you leaving?"
Hearing the voice, Pei Yixue looked up: "Well, let's go, let's go back too."
For the first time, Pei Yixue reflected on himself and wondered if he was too prejudiced against Chang Feng.
After all, Chang Feng has not done anything harmful to the world so far.
In the carriage, Xie Yushu glanced over from time to time, as if hesitating about something.
Pei Yixue smiled and said, "Ashu, why don't you just speak frankly."
"I..." Xie Yushu's ears turned red and he took out a green brocade box from his sleeve.
"For me?" Pei Yixue took it and scanned the three words engraved on the brocade box: "Guan Yu Xuan. Did Ah Shu just buy it?"
"Yeah. We've known each other for a year, and I don't think I've ever given you anything formal."
Pei Yixue opened it and found a hairpin inlaid with jade inside. Xie Yushu asked, "Do you like it?"
"I like it, I like it very much." Pei Yixue closed the box, leaned close to Xie Yushu's ear and whispered with a smile: "I will be with you forever, and walk hand in hand with you. Can this be considered a token of love that Ah Shu gave me?"
"...I haven't thought about this, so it shouldn't count." Xie Yushu supported Pei Yixue with his hands to prevent the carriage from shaking and causing people to fall.
Pei Yixue asked: "When does Ah Shu plan to give me the token of love?"
The two looked at each other. Xie Yushu thought for a moment, but couldn't figure out what was going on. He asked, "Is there anything you want?"
"Anything?"
"Um."
"I want..." Pei Yixue looked at him, his eyes full of affection, "Ashu." His fingertips traced from Xie Yushu's forehead to his eyebrows, nose tip, Adam's apple, and collarbone, "As a token of love, every inch of Ashu's body belongs to me from now on."
