Chen Yifan's ears turned red instantly. He glanced at Gu Baiwei somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Weiwei, after we finish eating, I'll go for a walk with you. Getting some fresh air will be good for your illness."
Gu Baiwei nodded, but Chen Shuang couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her brother usually seemed pretty capable, so why was he such a coward when it came to matters of the heart?
Is she asking him to say this? Is she asking him to take this opportunity to confess his feelings first? Either way, at least give it a shot.
In Chen Shuang's view, if you like something, you should bravely pursue it.
After dinner, the two took a walk together. Chen Shuang, wanting to create an opportunity for them, volunteered to stay at the clinic to watch over the door.
The two walked side by side along the country road, the warm sunshine feeling very comfortable on their bodies.
Chen Yifan turned his head unintentionally and saw the sunlight shining on the woman's soft profile. Her skin was very white, almost translucent, and her long, black hair was casually draped behind her head like silk, reflecting a faint luster under the sunlight.
A strand of hair fell onto the tip of her delicate nose. He subconsciously reached out to remove the strand of hair, but suddenly met a pair of clear, black and white eyes.
The dark pupils reflected the distant blue sky and white clouds, clean and bright.
Chen Yifan's hand froze, and his ears slowly turned red.
Zhang Hong came out carrying a basin of water to empty it. From afar, she saw Chen Yifan and Gu Baiwei walking side by side on the road. The handsome man and beautiful woman looked very well-matched. Suddenly, she felt as if a piece of cotton was stuck in her heart, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She was, after all, a well-known village beauty, but Chen Yifan had never looked at her with such tender eyes before.
His face immediately darkened, and he threw a basin of dirty water out the door, almost splashing it on Gu Baiwei. Fortunately, Chen Yifan stopped him in time.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see it."
Zhang Hong's apology was insincere; she finished quickly and then carried the basin of water into the house.
Gu Baiwei wasn't splashed and didn't care, but Chen Yifan frowned and glanced at Zhang Hong, looking somewhat displeased.
"Pah, shameless vixen."
After the two walked away, Zhang Hong spat at Gu Baiwei's back with a look of disdain.
Chen Yifan had been quite polite to her before, but after this vixen arrived, she suddenly became cold towards her.
A few days later, Chen Yifan's time providing free medical services here came to an end, and he prepared to return to Beijing.
Since Gu Baiwei hadn't regained her memory yet, they were worried about leaving her alone there. So Chen Shuang suggested, "Sister Weiwei, why don't you come with us first? Once you remember where your family is, we'll take you home, okay?"
Gu Baiwei thought for a moment and agreed. She couldn't remember anything and didn't know where to go, so she could only follow them for the time being.
Chen Shuang gave Chen Yifan a victory sign, secretly pleased with herself.
Two days ago, she asked a friend to investigate Gu Baiwei's identity, but she found nothing. So she thought she would take her away first and then investigate her properly.
After packing their things, Chen Yifan drove, while Chen Shuang and Gu Baiwei sat in the back, chatting idly.
Before the car had even left the village, a woman in a white dress suddenly rushed out and blocked the car.
Chen Yifan slammed on the brakes and then realized that the person blocking his way was none other than Zhang Hong.
He got out of the car with a cold face: "What are you doing? Don't you know this is dangerous?"
If he hadn't stopped the car in time, Zhang Hong would have been thrown out.
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Zhang Hong's eyes. Remembering her purpose, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward to hug Chen Yifan.
"Brother Yifan, I like you. I'm so sad to hear you're leaving..."
He was the most handsome and highest-status man she had ever met. If she missed him, she was afraid she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Chen Yifan was startled by her sudden action, but quickly calmed down and pushed her away expressionlessly: "Sorry, please call me Dr. Chen from now on."
After saying that, he pushed the person away without any mercy, turned around and got into the car.
Chen Shuang was stunned and couldn't help but give her brother a thumbs up.
Actually, although Zhang Hong's skin was a bit dark, she was quite pretty. I heard she was some kind of village beauty. It's just a pity that she was only interested in him, and it was a one-sided affair from the beginning.
Zhang Hong didn't expect him to reject her so ruthlessly, and immediately couldn't hold back anymore. She turned around and ran away crying.
The car slowly drove out of the village, and not far from the village entrance, someone blocked their way.
"You pretty boy surnamed Chen, get down here!"
A man with a buzz cut and dark skin yelled at Chen Yifan.
Chen Yifan frowned, turned to the two of them and instructed them: "No matter what happens later, don't get out of the car."
After saying that, he opened the door, went downstairs, and then locked the door behind him.
"Zhang Dali, is there something you need?"
Zhang Dali is Zhang Hong's biological brother. Zhang Hong used to pester him all the time, and she had met her brother a few times.
"Pah! You think you can just walk away after bullying my sister? Dream on."
Zhang Dali spat angrily on the ground, tapping the large iron hammer in his hand, his expression full of threat.
Chen Yifan remained unmoved: "I have no relationship with your sister whatsoever, don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Dali was completely unreasonable: "In short, you have to give my sister an explanation today, or none of you will leave here."
Chen Shuang's temper flared up. This family must be sick in the head. The younger sister is always bothering others, and the older brother is completely unreasonable.
She rolled up her sleeves, ready to go down and help, but Gu Baiwei grabbed her arm: "Your brother said he doesn't want us to go down, he must have his own solution. Let's wait and see."
Chen Shuang reluctantly withdrew her hand, grinding her back molars until they made a grinding sound.
Chen Yifan sighed: "What exactly do you want?"
Zhang Dali: "Your actions just now have caused serious psychological harm to my sister. If you don't compensate my sister today, don't even think about leaving here."
Chen Yifan sneered; so the real purpose was to get money.
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Hong suddenly rushed out from the side and grabbed Zhang Dali's arm: "Hurry up and go home, don't embarrass yourself here."
"What's so shameful about it? You were stringing me along before, and now you want to just walk away like that? You think it's that easy?"
Zhang Hong blushed with embarrassment. Chen Yizhou had never taken the initiative to pay attention to her; it was always her doing all the work.
"Let go, I'm going to teach this pretty boy a lesson today."
Zhang Dali shoved the man aside, grabbed Chen Yifan by the collar, and was about to attack him when he suddenly groaned and collapsed to the ground.
Chen Yifan was ready to take action, but Zhang Hong unexpectedly turned against her own brother and knocked him unconscious.
"Dr. Chen, I'm so sorry about what happened today. Please leave now."
Zhang Hong bit her lower lip, looking ashamed.
Chen Yifan got back into the car and started it. This time everything went smoothly. When the car stopped at the Linhai City toll station for a rest, Gu Baiwei looked at the scenery outside the window, and some familiar scenes inexplicably flashed through her mind.
Just then, the car radio was playing a missing person announcement from the local television station, and coincidentally, the person they were looking for had the exact same name as her.
