“Jia Renyi?!” Yin Yin’s eyes suddenly widened and were filled with surprise. “He isn’t stealing chicken for some evil practice, is he?!”
“……” Ling Long felt the corners of his mouth twitched. “Probably not.”
Because there was no such wonderful martial arts in the world that depends on stealing chickens to cultivate.
Gu Chenyan walked up to Yin Yin, and said with a smile, “Thanks to Miss Yin’s clever plan, Xue’er is free of suspicion.”
Yin Yin waved her hand in embarrassment. “It’s nothing worth mentioning.”
“But why do you know that he will go to Uncle Zhang’s house?”
“Err,” Yin Yin’s eyes turned. “Intuition, my intuition has always been accurate, ha ha.”
Ling Long glanced at her quietly.
Yin Yin looked at Xue’er, who was walking in front of Sir Wu, and asked in a low voice, “Is Xue’er wearing mourning clothes?”
Speaking of this, Gu Chenyan’s eyes darkened and she nodded, “Yes, Xue’ers parents passed away a month ago.”
Yin Yin looked at Xue’ers snow-white back with a dazed expression. “I heard you said they died from a disease? What kind of disease was it that even Sir Wu can’t cure it?”
Gu Chenyan sighed and said, “At first it was just a cold, but it was dragged on without any treatment. I advised them several times, but they didn’t think it was something serious. Unexpectedly, it only got worse and worse. There was no good doctor in town so Xue’er wanted to go up the mountain to find Sir Wu, but they couldn’t hold on any longer. Now Xue’er is left all alone……”
Yin Yin felt a little sour in her heart as if she had been touched. She had also been abandoned once, -or twice, she knew this feeling of loneliness and helplessness.
Ling Long’s voice faintly came from the top of Yin Yin’s head. “This kind of thing happens every day, you can’t help everyone. Those who have lost their loved ones must also learn to stand up by themselves and continue living.”
Yin Yin looked up in a daze. Is he.…..comforting me?
She looked at Ling Long’s beautiful profile, and a faint smile gradually filled the corners of her mouth.
Gu Chenyan also looked at Xue’ers back, seemingly thoughtful and said, “Young Master Lin’s words are extremely true.”
Ling Long glanced at her and asked, “How much do you know about Sir Wu?”
“Sir Wu?” Gu Chenyan looked at Ling Long and thought for a while. “Although he is taciturn, he has excellent medical skills. I heard him say that his skills were taught by Divine Doctor Jia, but no one has ever seen him. In fact, I have only met Sir Wu once.”
“Oh.” Ling Long nodded gently.
Gu Chenyan’s eyes flickered, and she asked in a low voice. “Why did you came here in Shigu Town?”
Ling Long gave her a sidelong glance, and Yin Yin said hurriedly, “We are here to see Divine Doctor Jia.”
“Doctor Jia?” Gu Chenyan turned her head to look at Yin Yin, “Is there someone sick in your family?”
“Wel……yes.” Yin Yin’s smile twitched.
“So it’s like this, ah.” Gu Chenyan lowered her head again, but was obviously relieved. “I’ll go and help you inquire.”
With that, Gu Chenyan quickened her steps and went to Sir Wu’s position.
Yin Yin also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Ling Long’s clear eyes swept over her, and Yin Yin subconsciously straightened her back.
“Do you want to sell the news about Gu Chenyan being in Shigu Town to Mo Lingya?” Yin Yin looked at Ling Long and asked tentatively.
Ling Long’s eyes flickered slightly without answering.
Seeing Ling Long’s silence, Yin Yin frowned slightly. “Since she escaped from the marriage, it means she doesn’t want to marry. What’s the difference between doing this and forcing good people into prostitution?”
Ling Long also frowned slightly, but still did not speak. Yin Yin took a look at him, then buried her head and walked in silence.
After a long while, Ling Long sighed helplessly, “I won’t tell him.”
Yin Yin’s eyes lit up. She raised her head and gave Ling Long a sweet smile. “Thank you!”
Yin Yin’s bright eyes made Ling Long a little startled. He didn’t know when this eldest lady started to become so nosy.
He looked at Yin Yin and said, “But don’t be happy too soon. Mo Lingya didn’t just buy information from us, and I’ve been away from the headquarters all this time, maybe someone has found out about Gu Chenyan and had already told him.”
“Even so, thank you~” Yin Yin giggled twice before lowering her head and continuing to walk.
Ling Long looked at the top of Yin Yin’s head, and the corners of his mouth curled up almost invisibly.
Du Qianqian, who was walking in the front, suddenly turned her head, glanced at Ling Long and Yin Yin, then walked over. “Young Master Lin, Sir Wu said that he can take us up the mountain early the next morning to find Divine Doctor Jia. .”
Yin Yin looked up unexpectedly. “Is he so easy to talk to?”
Du Qianqian glanced at her without saying a word.
Yin Yin: “……”
Frick! Have you forgotten who’s paying you?
Du Qianqian turned her head to look at Ling Long with a faint smile in her eyes. “Young Master Lin, Qianqian will get up early tomorrow morning to prepare breakfast.”
Ling Long nodded slightly and said, “Thank you for your trouble, Miss Du.”
The smile in Du Qianqian’s eyes grew bigger. “Qianqian had said that she’s willing to cook for Young Master Lin for the rest of her life.”
Yin Yin: “……”
She could hardly listen anymore.
Ling Long looked at Du Qianqian and asked softly, “Does Miss Du know my taste on food?”
Du Qianqian was stunned by the question. Ling Long went on to say, “No matter how delicious the food is, if it’s not to your taste, it would be hard to swallow.”
Du Qianqian bit her lip, looking at Ling Long steadily. A faint layer of water vapor appeared in her clear eyes.
Ling Long pursed the corner of his mouth and cast his gaze on the dark night ahead.
Yin Yin had already set off firecrackers in her heart at this time. The White lotus was rejected! Oh yeah!
Well, she admits that she’s a very small-minded person.
“No matter what taste Young Master Lin likes, Qianqian can do it.” Du Qianqian’s voice trembled, and she also looked towards the darkness in front of her. The darkness stretched endlessly in all directions as if it was about to swallow everything.
Ling Long’s brows furrowed, and his voice was very light, as if it would be blown away by the night wind, “Miss Du, why bother doing this?”
Why bother?
Du Qianqian sneered in her heart. I have been attached to you for two lifetimes, but now you’re asking me why?
She suddenly felt a bit bitter in her mouth. Even if I can’t get it, I’ll make sure Yin Yin won’t get it either.
Yin Yin shuddered silently, and the pleasure of being a villain dissipated in an instant.
She looked in Du Qianqian’s direction. Du Qianqian quickly turned her head, looking back in no time.
Yin Yin’s heart suddenly jumped. Du Qianqian’s eyes seemed to be looking at an extremely wicked person.
Although in the plot of <<All for Prosperity>>, ‘Yin Yin’ did nine of the ten evils to Du Qianqian, but Yin Yin always felt that those had nothing to do with her. (Buddhism regards killing, stealing, licentiousness, false speech, two tongues, wicked speech, profligacy, greed, aversion, and evil views as the ten evils)
But now being watched by Du Qianqian with that kind of eyes, she wanted to go straight to the police station and turn herself in.
She frowned and turned her head away. Looking at the path ahead extending in the dark, she felt that it was the same as her future – pitch black.
Several people rushed through the night road with different thoughts running on their minds. Fortunately they arrived within a few steps. After Gu Chenyan arranged the accommodation for everyone, Yin Yin, who had been running around for a whole day, finally closed her eyes.
She doesn’t know if she is not used to the hard bed of Xue’ers house, or Du Qianqian’s eyes had cast a shadow on her, Yin Yin started to have nightmares again.
Lin Xin’er was sitting in front of the computer, and conversations were happily popping out of the dialog box.
[Xiaodai: My feet are sore. . =. = ]
[Ah, Pei: (⊙ o ⊙) Stepped on a lemon? (a sour/jealous person)]
[Xiaodai: ……just finished playing +_+]
[Cuihua: The yen has depreciated, and our year-end bonus has shrunk ┭┮﹏┭┮ ]
[Xiaodai: My condolences(-人-)
[Ah, Pei: First love don’t cry. I’ll treat you to a candlelight dinner in the evening.]
[Cuihua: Leave the dinner. You can go now.]
[Cuihua: Oh, help me open a bottle of red wine from the Kangxi period before you leave.]
[Ah, Pei: 0.0. Why not try another one – a bottle of year ‘82 Sprite ba?
[Xiaodai: ……Teacher Lin, can these two illiterates be saved?
Lin Xin’ers heart sank. Teacher Lin? Isn’t she Doctor Lin?
She frowned, and quickly tapped her doubts on the keyboard with both hands.
[Lao Lin: Teacher Lin? Me? (⊙_⊙?) ]
[Xiaodai: Otherwise, it’s me? (⊙_⊙?) ]
Lin Xin’ers brows had become more and more tightened. As she moved her hands on the keyboard, Ji Ting’s voice came from the kitchen, “Xin’er, come out and serve the food.”
Lin Xiner was momentarily stunned. What the hell is going on?
She walked into the kitchen feeling a little nervous, and then saw Ji Ting who was busying around.
When Lin Xin’er saw the clothes Ji Ting was wearing, she only felt that the blood on her whole body was flowing backwards.
Ji Ting was now untying the apron from her maroon coat.
“You pour the ketchup on. There’s a new bottle on the fridge.”
Lin Xin’ers body trembled. Feeling uneasy, she opened the refrigerator and took out the unopened bottle of ketchup.
When opening the bottle cap, she deliberately did it carefully, but the bottle seemed to have a life of its own – as soon as it slipped from her had, it flew directly towards Ji Ting.
The ketchup flew out of the bottle and splashed all over Ji Ting.
Yin Yin woke up from her dream.
She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. What on earth is happening?
Why did I change from Doctor Lin to Teacher Lin? Why did Ji Ting’s clothes turned to maroon?
Yin Yin looked at the dark sky outside. The moon seemed to be hidden by the thick clouds. It looked dim and not even a star could be seen.
The boundless night gave Yin Yin an illusion that it was a huge net.
She felt that she was covered inside, unable to escape or runaway.
Yin Yin laid down again. Although she had such a dream for several times, indeed, it was no more than just a dream. But she thought that the things in the dream were incredible.
She always felt that these dreams were trying to tell her something, but she just couldn’t grasp it.
Yin Yin smiled helplessly.
Is it true that she had too much mental pressure, causing her memory to be confused?
Or did she really dirtied Ji Ting’s clothes twice?
This idea made Yin Yin panicked for a moment, but she soon denied this possibility.
She didn’t think she was that stupid.
After taking a deep breath, she forced herself to close her eyes and dazedly fell asleep again.
