Chapter 26 [VIP] Jianghu (7)
After a while, the remaining fragrance burned out and the aroma in the air gradually dissipated.
Nan Yan washed up casually without combing her hair, and put on her clothes in a hurry. As soon as the door opened, she rushed towards Xiao Guanxue's yard.
Passing through a quiet and secluded corridor, the sounds of cicadas and birds gradually come to you.
At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the morning mist lingering in the valley had not yet completely dissipated. From a distance, it looked like a fairyland on earth, cold and peaceful.
It was originally a beautiful scene, but someone turned a blind eye to it and abruptly destroyed this peaceful atmosphere with the sound of kicking the door.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
Nan Yan stretched out her hand and slapped the wooden door opposite her, her palm turned red, and she didn't care about the pain in her hand. "Xiao Guanxue, come out here quickly, did you do this...you despicable villain."
Nan Yan's face was grim, with tears in her eyes. "Even if you want to vent your anger on Su Mo, you shouldn't use such despicable means. I always thought you were a gentleman, but I was wrong. I didn't expect you to be such a villain. You can even do such a mean thing to a woman. You bastard, open the door for me..."
"Open the door for me..."
Xiao Guanxue had just finished washing up in the morning and was still not fully awake when he heard a burst of cursing and shouting coming from outside the door.
The voice was very familiar. He had dealt with the woman yesterday, so he could naturally tell who she was. But why did the woman come to scold him out of the blue?
Before he could sort out his thoughts, the woman outside the door seemed to notice the movement inside the house, and the sound of kicking on the door suddenly became heavier, as if she was determined to kick the door down.
"Come out...you little bastard..."
Xiao Guanxue was given a headache by the noise, especially the woman who kept calling him a despicable person and shameless, which made him extremely annoyed.
Anyone would be filled with anger if they were subjected to such a barrage of accusations and abuses for no reason.
What did that woman want to do?
What kind of conspiracy are you trying to play out for no reason?
Besides, what had he done to deserve being accused and framed by this woman?
Xiao Guanxue was filled with rage. He just opened the door and was about to ask, "What on earth do you want to do?"
But before he could even ask the question, he saw the other person rushing towards him like a madman, grabbing a hairpin and trying to poke it into his heart.
Even though Xiao Guanxue was well-informed, he was still shocked by the scene before his eyes. What was he doing? What deep hatred did they have that made this person want to take revenge on him like this?
Apart from the verbal dispute yesterday, he asked himself if he had done anything to hurt the other party, but this woman actually wanted to kill him?
"What on earth are you going to do!?"
Xiao Guanxue's face also turned cold, and he quickly grabbed her wrist. With a little force, the hairpin fell to the ground with a "pop". Nan Yan's feet became unsteady after being pulled by him, and she staggered and almost bumped into him.
"How dare you ask me what I want to do?"
"You know what you did to me. I originally thought you were a gentleman. Although you are a bit annoying, at least you are a kind-hearted doctor. I never thought you would use such a despicable method to harm me...
The girl's eyes were filled with tears that were about to fall. She looked extremely aggrieved, but her face was filled with anger. She stared at the other person fiercely, and the anger in her eyes almost pierced the person.
"You, you are so shameless――"
Xiao Guanxue had no idea what she was talking about. He just felt that the incoherent voices were like countless annoying flies buzzing in his ears, giving him a headache.
"What are you talking about, I didn't do anything."
This was a complete disaster.
Xiao Guanxue suppressed his impatience. He caught a glimpse of the other person's disheveled clothes, with the slightly red skin faintly visible at the collar. He turned away immediately out of embarrassment and dared not look at him again.
Nan Yan continued to cry, "After all this, you still want to deny it? Aren't these things on my body caused by you using despicable means?"
"I knew you had bad intentions. What a bullshit miracle doctor. You are clearly a hypocritical hypocrite."
Xiao Guanxue was also very angry when he heard this. He had no grudge against her, so why did this woman specifically pick on him to bully him?
"you……"
He wanted to say something, but before he could get his words out, he was blocked by this man and couldn't utter a single word.
"What do you mean? You feel bad for Su Mo, and you want to take revenge on her because she was bullied by me yesterday, right? If you have something to be dissatisfied with, just say it directly, but why... why did you do such a vicious thing?"
Xiao Guanxue was confused by what he heard. He really didn't understand what was going on. He was also wondering why this woman was so unreasonable.
As a result, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the red rash on her neck. He looked up and saw the veil on the woman's face. She had been covering her face before, and he could only see her watery eyes. After taking a closer look, he discovered that she also had some red rashes on her face.
Xiao Guanxue seemed to understand something. He frowned and walked forward. He lifted up the other person's sleeve and took a look. He saw the same thing on his wrist. Now he finally got a clue.
"Are you poisoned?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan's anger intensified, and her tears flowed uncontrollably. The originally clean veil was now soaked with tears. She simply tore off the veil and threw it directly to the ground.
"You said it wasn't you who did it, but you knew I was poisoned after just one look. I guess you planned it all along, and you made me look like this..."
Xiao Guanxue opened his mouth, but he really had no words to express his pain.
This guy's skill in turning the tables is really enough to make people angry.
He was a doctor, so wasn't it natural for him to see that she was poisoned? Besides, he was familiar with the poison, which must have been caused by the flowers and plants in his garden.
But those flowers and plants themselves were not poisonous, and he had no reason to harm her. Could this be a misunderstanding?
It was thanks to him that he had not lost his mind. He was just being slandered like this and being scolded so hard that he could not say a word. He was truly the worst person in the world. If an ordinary woman had been so unreasonable, he would have stabbed her with a poisonous needle.
Xiao Guanxue wanted to explain, but the flower poison was indeed related to him, so he could only slow down his tone and comfort the person first, "I really didn't poison you. I have no reason to harm you."
"Bah, how can there be no reason? Isn't the fact that you like Su Mo a legitimate reason?"
The corners of Nan Yan's eyes were red from crying. She was out of breath and panting, her breathing was a little irregular. Her originally pale cheeks were now stained with a layer of red, making her look extremely weak.
But Xiao Guanxue knew that was all an illusion. This young lady was extremely skilled at saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
Hearing her mention Su Mo again, he felt embarrassed again. Anyone would feel dissatisfied if their secrets were exposed again and again, not to mention that this woman was extremely difficult to deal with.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you dragging someone into this for no reason? If I really wanted to poison you, I would make sure I poisoned your throat first so that you wouldn't be able to accuse a good person without knowing the truth."
"You finally told the truth, didn't you? You still wanted to poison me. I tell you, if you really dare to bully me, I will ask the guards of Mingyue Villa to burn your rotten valley to ashes!"
This young lady's unruly behavior was fully displayed.
“…”
Xiao Guanxue was speechless. He couldn't help but wonder, did Xie Yu really know what kind of person his childhood sweetheart was?
Is this what you call gentle and considerate?
He rubbed his aching brows, thinking that if he said one more word to her, she would be pissed to death, so he simply said, "Do you still want to cure this poison?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crying on the other side finally stopped.
Nan Yan suddenly raised her head, her eyes red from crying, as if washed by water, clear and bright, staring at him with some suspicion, "What did you say, this poison... can be cured?"
Xiao Guanxue nodded and said, "Of course there is an antidote." How could the poison he planted himself have no antidote?
The young lady immediately glared at him, her long raven eyelashes dripping with tiny tears, not only was she not threatening at all, but she seemed a bit weak, "Why don't you untie me now?"
This makes the gesture of summoning people seem easy to master.
Nan Yan was extremely itchy. The poison in her body was not yet eliminated, and the rash on her hands was getting more and more itchy. She lifted her sleeves, and her originally fair wrists had turned much redder. She wanted to tighten them but didn't dare to. Her eyes turned red with grievance again, and her breathing gradually became rapid.
"Hurry up."
Nan Yan couldn't help but urged again.
Xiao Guanxue glanced at her sideways, feeling impatient. This woman was so righteous when asking for help. She really didn't know her place.
He wanted to make her suffer, so he moved slowly.
"It's no use for you to urge me. Although this poison is not fatal, it has a long-lasting effect. I need to study it."
Nan Yan seemed to see through his thoughts. She was so angry that she went up to him and punched his chest. She said in a hoarse voice, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You are dragging your feet just to make me suffer. I tell you, if you don't help me detoxify, I will bully your sweetheart."
Xiao Guanxue frowned when he heard this.
I just think this woman is really unreasonable.
He was too lazy to argue with her, so he reached out and lifted up the sleeve. His fair skin was rubbed red and had a few scratches. It was obvious that the young lady couldn't bear the itch and scratched it herself. If he used more force, he might even break the skin.
He took out the silver needle and wanted to detoxify the person first.
But when Nan Yan saw the thin, long silver needle that was gleaming with cold light, she subconsciously retracted her finger and stared at the man warily, "What are you going to do?"
Xiao Guanxue raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this woman also gets scared sometimes. He rarely felt like teasing her and explained in a serious manner with a stern face.
"Of course I'll detoxify you first. Fortunately, the poison in your body isn't strong, so a few injections will be enough."
"But you need to get rid of the rash and get a new prescription. Please wait a moment while I give you a few injections."
After he said this, Nan Yan didn't understand what this man was trying to do. It was obvious that he was taking revenge under the guise of detoxification.
What a stingy and vicious man.
But since he wanted to act, Nan Yan would naturally accompany him.
So she subconsciously retracted her fingers and hid back, "Wait a minute..."
The girl looked up at the people. Because she had just cried, the corners of her fair eyes were smudged with a layer of light powder. Although there were some rashes on her face, it made her look even more pitiful.
"Is there no other way to detoxify? Your needle is so long and looks too scary. Can't you use a shorter one?"
Xiao Guanxue looked at this weak and pitiful man and for a moment he felt a little soft-hearted. It had nothing to do with being attracted to her, but was probably because men's natural desire to protect women had ended.
Yes, why would he bother with such a weak woman?
Then I thought again, this woman is used to lying, who knows if this scene is just an act?
Thinking of this, Xiao Guanxue glanced at her a few more times, then took the acupuncture bag and placed it directly on the table. The row of silver needles shone with a cold light, which made people's scalps numb. "It's just a few needles. If the girl doesn't want to, please find someone else."
"Oh, by the way, the longer you wait for the poison to take effect, the more it will itch. If your face gets scratched and scarred, don't blame me for not warning you."
He made a gesture to leave, but the man behind him immediately grabbed his sleeve, with a look of shame in his eyes.
"Stop."
The girl looked at the row of terrifying silver needles and touched her face in fear. She seemed a little worried. If it was true as he said, how would she go out and meet people in the future?
He made up his mind and immediately reached out his hand. A white wrist as white as jade was placed in front of him. The meaning was very clear: get it cut quickly.
Xiao Guanxue raised her eyelids lightly, glanced at her very lightly, turned around and picked up a silver needle. Just when she was about to make a move, Nan Yan deliberately shrank.
Xiao Guanxue was annoyed and simply held her wrist, warning her coldly, "Don't move, or don't blame me if it hurts."
Just as the needle was about to be inserted, a sudden sound from behind interrupted the actions of the two.
"Yan Yan?"
No one knew when Xie Yu had arrived. He was now standing in the yard, his dark eyes staring quietly at the two overly close figures in the house.
"How did you end up in Xiao Guanxue's yard?"
Nan Yan didn't say anything. She had her back to him at the moment, and was covering her face anxiously, as if she was worried that he would see her current appearance.
Xie Yu's gaze fell on Nan Yan's messy hair. Seeing her indifferent look, he inevitably thought of what Nan Yan said to him yesterday evening.
Then a trace of annoyance welled up in my heart uncontrollably, and I subconsciously called out her name.
"Yanyan, come out."
The people inside did not move.
Xie Yu became more and more annoyed, and he suddenly thought of what Su Mo said to him last night.
For some reason, Su Mo's reaction to him seemed to become unusually cold.
She also said some nonsense that made him feel very confused, saying that she had always treated him as a friend and that he should not come to her again in the future...
After repeated questioning, she angrily said, "If you want to know the reason, go ask your childhood sweetheart."
Xie Yu was stunned, not understanding what was wrong with her.
But she suddenly mentioned Nan Yan, which made him very suspicious. Did Nan Yan say something she shouldn't have said to her, or had she been lying to him?
So Xie Yu went to Nan Yan's yard early in the morning, wanting to ask her what she had said to Su Mo yesterday?
But after walking around, I didn't see anyone. On the way back, I heard some obvious noise coming from the yard next door.
Then I came here.
But he didn't expect to see this scene. The two of them were entangled like a close couple, Yanyan grabbed his sleeve, and Xiao Guanxue held her wrist tightly...
At that moment, Xie Yu felt uncomfortable all over, and an indescribable anxiety and uneasiness surged in his heart. It was as if an invisible thread was tearing and pulling at his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable.
This strange emotion that suddenly surged into his heart almost made him unable to hold back and rush forward to separate the two people.
He endured and endured, clenched his fingers tightly, and finally suppressed the depressed and irritable mood, then took a few steps forward.
"Yanyan, why don't you come over quickly?"
Nan Yan's eyes showed anxiety, but she still focused on covering her face. How could she possibly pass by this opportunity that she had finally caught?
Because she had her back to Xie Yu, she couldn't see his facial expression at all, but she could guess from the voice that the man behind her must be angry.
She didn't say anything and didn't move. Xiao Guanxue frowned and wanted to explain something, but Nan Yan grabbed her sleeve and said in a half-threatening and half-embarrassing tone:
"You are not allowed to go. If you dare to tell Brother Yu about my condition, I will... not let you off."
Nan Yan is very skilled at threatening people.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Guanxue immediately understood what she was thinking.
The woman cares most about her appearance, and even more about how she looks good in the eyes of her lover. Now, with her face covered with rashes and her clothes in tatters, how could she want Xie Yu to see her in such a shabby state?
But what puzzled him was why this was said to him. Wasn't he a man? Didn't this person have any sense of shame when speaking to him, and didn't even bother to care about his image?
Xie Yu saw the interaction between the two. Seeing that Nan Yan refused to come over and was even pulling and tugging with other men, he didn't know what happened at that moment. He just felt an inexplicable anger rising in his heart.
"Yan Yan, what happened to you today? You haven't said a word since just now. Are you feeling unwell?"
He walked straight up to the two of them, grabbed her wrist, and tried to bend her over.
However, his action obviously frightened Nan Yan. The little girl screamed "Ah" and slapped the back of his hand with her backhand. The slap was so strong that the back of his hand even turned red.
Xie Yu's fingers suddenly froze in mid-air.
At this moment, Nan Yan had no time to care about his feelings, and because of being too nervous, she threw herself into the arms of Xiao Guanxue opposite her.
"No, don't touch me..."
The girl's voice was a little hurried.
She lowered her head, her long hair covering her face, making it vague and unclear for Xie Yu to see the expression on her face at all.
The miracle doctor who was tightly hugged by her was completely frozen at this moment. His body was as hard as a stone and he could not move or react for a long time.
