Capítulo 1661: Chapter 1661: The Gentleman is as Refined as Jade, Unique in the World (1)
The sumr afternoon is exceptionally peaceful, with cicadas chirping non-stop in the treetops.
Outside the window is a lush greenery, exuding vigorous vitality.
It rained heavily last night, with strong winds, leaving many leaves scattered on the ground.
The rain only stopped trickling at around seven or eight in the morning, leaving puddles on the ground, and the green leaves were washed clean of dust, glowing vividly.
In the garden, an auntie is bending over to sweep the ground, the broom making a “rustling” sound that stands out in the courtyard.
In the spacious and bright studio, Shen Di is painting.
She prefers playing the violin over painting, but the weather is nice today, and she prefers to capture the beautiful scenery outside the window with her brush.
Shen Di dresses casually, in a loose white dress, with her long black hair casually tied up with a blue hairband.
With the window open, sotis the wind blows in, lifting the stray hairs by her ears.
In the dostic winter, it’s the sumr season in Australia.
Shen Di paints with great concentration, her clear and bright eyes only focused on the canvas.
At this mont, there is a gentle knock on the door.
“Co in.” Shen Di’s voice holds a hint of joy.
“Miss, the dicine is ready, please drink it while it’s hot.” The butler Xu was holding a bowl of dicine.
Shen Di frowned slightly but gracefully shook her head: “Just put it aside.”
The butler Xu’s face was expressionless, but he complied.
The bowl of dicine exuded a bitter sll, mixing with the heat, it quickly filled the studio.
The sll was quite unpleasant, at least, Shen Di didn’t like it a bit.
The butler Xu was Shen Di’s personal butler brought from ho, he had been with her for many years.
The butler Xu knew Shen Di’s character very well, she really didn’t want to drink the dicine.
The brush swished a few strokes on the canvas, and Shen Di didn’t look at the bowl of dicine.
“Miss, the dicine loses its effect when it’s cool.”
“Is this still prescribed by Doctor Wang?” Shen Di asked nonchalantly.
“Yes.” The butler Xu nodded respectfully, “Doctor Wang has always been the one prescribing for you.”
“But after taking it for several years, besides the bitterness, I don’t feel any good.” Shen Di said lightly.
“Miss, you ntioned changing doctors, I’ve already started arranging that for you.”
“Those doctors from a few days ago, I wasn’t satisfied. They only prescribed the sa redies as Doctor Wang, what’s the point.”
“This…” The butler Xu was very troubled, “There aren’t many doctors from back ho, let alone those good at cardiology, very few…”
“Then just keep looking.” Shen Di wasn’t too concerned about it.
She rely wanted to switch to a doctor who wouldn’t prescribe traditional dicine anymore, she had had enough of these herbal dicines.
The brush swiped a few more tis, and on the canvas appeared a piece of withered yellow grassland and a little white dog.
“Butler, do you think this little dog is cute?” Shen Di smiled.
The butler Xu nodded repeatedly: “Miss’s painting is very beautiful.”
Shen Di frowned, the butler Xu, who had lived with her day and night for so many years, was still so tentative toward her.
But, what could be done about it, she had to face them most of the ti.
A gust of wind blew by, bringing a leaf in through the window.
At the sa ti, she seed to catch a faint scent of mint.
“Butler!” A young maid ran over, “Butler, a new doctor has arrived.”
The butler Xu turned his head: “I’ll go take a look.”
Shen Di didn’t look up: “Just bring him over directly, I’ll see.”
Shen Di was in a good mood today, besides, she hadn’t seen anyone stranger for a long ti and was quite bored.
“Clearly it’s a midsumr scene, why paint it as the desolation of late autumn?”
Behind her was a deep and clear male voice, like sweet spring water flowing gently by.
Shen Di’s heart skipped a beat, and she turned around.
At the door stood a young man in a white shirt and black trousers, with a gentle and clean cut smile, handso and bright. His hands were in his pockets, and his eyes fell on Shen Di’s canvas.
At this mont, Shen Di recalled a line of poetry: “In the countryside, people are like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world.”
This line was just perfect to describe him.
Shen Di smiled slightly: “As a visiting doctor, how co you’re critiquing my painting?”
“The logic between the two isn’t the sa.” Wen Zhiyuan maintained his gentle deanor, calm and composed.
The butler Xu interrupted their conversation, politely saying, “Sir, may I ask your surna?”
“My surna is Wen, Wen Zhiyuan.”
“Please have a seat in the living room, Yuehua, serve Dr. Wen so tea.” The butler Xu instructed.
“Alright!” The servant responded.
Wen Zhiyuan nodded and followed the butler Xu to the living room, but his gaze lingered on the painting for a long ti.
The vibrant sumr scenery is so beautiful, yet she insisted on painting it as the barren and desolate landscape of late autumn.
The butler Xu sought Shen Di’s opinion once more: “Miss, should I ask him, or would you like to co over?”
“I happen not to feel like painting anymore.” Shen Di put down her brush and turned to the living room.
For the doctors that had co before, the butler Xu would give her a brief summary and she would send them away.
However, this doctor today was very young.
Sitting across from Wen Zhiyuan, Shen Di slightly curled her lips: “Dr. Wen, have you looked through my case file?”
“I’ve reviewed everything and am quite familiar with Miss Shen’s condition.”
“How familiar is quite familiar? So what do you think of the dication I’m currently taking?”
“These dications don’t have much effect. They seem to treat the root cause, but in reality, they are ineffective for Miss Shen.” Wen Zhiyuan gently shook his head, “The old traditional doctors rely on experience to prescribe, but with technological advancents, many new Western dicines are unknown to them.”
Shen Di didn’t have much expertise in these matters, as she was not well-versed.
While speaking to Wen Zhiyuan, she looked at him without blinking.
No matter what, this doctor was far more pleasing to the eye than Dr. Wang and the others, just afraid he was a charlatan.
There are many young scamrs nowadays selling fake dicine.
“Which university did Dr. Wen graduate from?” Shen Di asked indifferently.
“Sydney University, School of dicine.”
“Let see the diploma.” Shen Di said nonchalantly.
This man doesn’t seem very old, might even be younger than her?
Wen Zhiyuan didn’t move, just slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at the young woman in front of him.
A very beautiful girl, her hair casually tied, her gaze pure and clear, untainted by the mundane world.
Shen Di felt like she was being teased, her eyes widened, seemingly with anger: “Does Dr. Wen usually like staring at won like this?”
“That depends on the person, if they’re not pretty I wouldn’t look.” Wen Zhiyuan smirked.
The butler Xu beside them frowned, evidently having a bad impression of this young man, thinking him quite frivolous.
Shen Di didn’t pay it much mind and proceeded to ask him several dical questions and a few personal life questions.
She learned that this man had just graduated a year ago, and to be precise, was still a fledgling young chap.
No wonder, like a newborn calf who doesn’t fear the tiger.
