122: Chapter 120: Love Rival 122: Chapter 120: Love Rival “Tangyu, did you wake up early just to look for evidence?” Guo Momo asked as she looked at Tangyu, her heart filled with an inexplicable sense of emotion.
Won can sotis be easily moved, not necessarily by grand gestures, but also by small acts.
Guo Momo wasn’t soone who was easily swayed by emotions; if that were the case, she would probably have been swooned over by many suitors by now.
Born into nobility, she had been blessed with nurous auras from a young age, garnering the attention and affection of countless people.
Having seen much of the world, naturally, her state of mind was much elevated.
However, at this mont, she was indeed sowhat moved by Tangyu.
With a faint smile, Tangyu nodded and said, “Yes, I’m used to waking up early.
Seeing everyone asleep and having nothing to do, I went out and took the opportunity to question those security guards.
I also really dislike those who are hypocritical in their actions.”
Guo Momo glanced at Tangyu and said, “Thank you, but this might get you involved.
You’ve made Zhou Tao feel humiliated, and with his temperant, there’s no guarantee he won’t bear a grudge and seek revenge on you.”
“No worries, no worries.
If that good brother Zhou Tao dares to find soone to take revenge on you, I’ll have soone beat him up,” Zhao Yaya said.
Guo Momo glared at the unreliable Zhao Yaya and said, “Shut your crow’s mouth, don’t stir up more trouble.”
Tangyu smirked faintly and assured them, “You guys don’t have to worry about , rest assured I won’t be in any trouble.
I’m not a fool; if I dare to do this, I’m not afraid of his retaliation.”
Guo Momo looked at Tangyu, well aware that Tangyu had so skills, but Zhou Tao was one of the wealthy heirs of Donglin University.
If Zhou Tao was determined to take revenge on Tangyu, it could be a terrifying situation.
How could Tangyu be so confident?
“But–”
“Alright, let’s not talk about things that haven’t happened.
I’m a bit hungry.
Is there breakfast available?” Tangyu interrupted, raising his hand.
Just then, a figure walked toward them.
“Liu Shiyi, what brings you here without letting know?” Seeing the newcor, Guo Momo hurried over to greet her.
As both were among the top ten beauties of Donglin University, it was only natural for Guo Momo to recognize Liu Shiyi, and perhaps due to similar personalities, the two also had a decent relationship.
Though they weren’t from the sa departnt, as well-known figures at Donglin University, they certainly had so social interactions.
Besides, they had been acquainted at Donglin University for three to four years, which ant they were fairly familiar with each other.
Liu Shiyi had visited Princess Apartnts once before, so she recognized the place.
Hearing the na Liu Shiyi, Tangyu was slightly taken aback, turned around, and indeed saw Liu Shiyi standing behind him, dressed in a light blue long dress.
The outfit made Liu Shiyi appear serene and fresh, as if embodying a strong sense of poetry, resembling the early morning on the vast grasslands.
The approaching presence was like breathing in the purest air from nature, an incredibly wonderful feeling.
Today’s Liu Shiyi, compared to yesterday’s stern deanor, seed quite different.
However, a beauty remains a beauty, much like the West Lake, suited for both heavy and light makeup.
To say it less elegantly, a beauty remains a beauty, even when picking her nose or toes.
“It’s rare to have you visit, Liu Shiyi.
Co in and have a seat, let introduce you to a couple of friends,” Guo Momo said.
Liu Shiyi shook her head and said, “Not today, Guo Momo.
I didn’t co for a visit; I have a matter to attend to.” Directing her gaze towards Tangyu, she made Guo Momo wonder, could Liu Shiyi be looking for Tangyu?
Did she know Tangyu as well?
Lin Feifei also looked over with a questioning gaze.
“Aha, I know, I know.
Sister Shiyi must be here for good brother Tangyu, right?” Zhao Yaya suddenly exclaid.
Liu Shiyi nodded and said, “Yes, I need to speak with Tangyu.” Then looking towards Tangyu, she nodded with a smile, “I wonder if you’re available right now?”
“Now, I guess I’m free, but—I haven’t had breakfast yet,” Tangyu replied cautiously after glancing at Guo Momo and Lin Feifei, trying not to show too much joy.
Yet inwardly, he thought, of course, I’m free.
It’s always a good ti when a beauty calls, even if I were in the middle of a bath.
“Oh, then why don’t I treat you to breakfast?
I haven’t had any either,” Liu Shiyi suggested.
After a mont of hesitation, Tangyu nodded and agreed, “Alright then.”
Liu Shiyi nodded her head, waved to Guo Momo, and said, “I’ll co over to play another day.
I truly have so matters today and have to apologize, but we’ll take our leave now.”
“Sure, no problem.
Take care of your matters first.
Rember to let know in advance next ti you visit,” Guo Momo replied.
“Sure, definitely,” Liu Shiyi nodded.
Watching the retreating figures of Tangyu and Liu Shiyi, Lin Feifei felt an inexplicable pang of discomfort.
The feeling was as if soone had taken away a doll she cherished, but she couldn’t understand why she felt this way.
Zhao Yaya, however, stared curiously at Lin Feifei, blinking without moving her gaze away, even shaking her little hand in front of Lin Feifei’s face to get her attention, prompting Lin Feifei to ask, “What is it?”
“They’re far away now, yet you’re still looking.
Are you jealous, Sister Feifei?” Zhao Yaya teased.
Lin Feifei nearly bit her tongue, her face flushing slightly as she responded, “Don’t talk nonsense, Yaya.
I’m not jealous.
Why should I be?”
“Hee hee, that’s not logical.
Your expression just now was totally one of jealousy.
Soone’s competing for good brother Tangyu, your rival has appeared.
It would be strange if you weren’t jealous,” Zhao Yaya said.
Feeling bashful, Lin Feifei stomped her foot and glared at Zhao Yaya, retorting, “That’s not true at all, I really don’t feel jealous.
Who he hangs out with has nothing to do with .
Right, Sister Momo?”
Guo Momo looked at Lin Feifei and said, “You seem to be, really a bit jealous.”
“Ah—”
Lin Feifei’s face instantly turned red.
Was she really jealous?
Could it be that she had started to like Tangyu?
But how could that be possible?
Thinking about it, Lin Feifei covered her face and fled back to the apartnt.
Liu Shiyi and Tangyu left the neighborhood and soon arrived at a rather elegant and clean Chinese-Western restaurant.
They chose this place since it was quiet at this ti, with few people around, and settled down at a quiet spot by the window.
They casually ordered so breakfast to fill their stomachs, followed by two cold drinks.
“Liu Shiyi, did you want to talk to about sothing?” Tangyu took the initiative to ask.
Liu Shiyi smiled and said, “What, can’t I seek you out if there’s nothing important?”
Tangyu curled his lips and smiled, “No, no, that’s not what I ant.
How could it be?
Being sought out by a beauty is a blessing one couldn’t even ask for; I’m too happy to oblige.
To put it more elegantly, it’s a great honor.
But I’m neither a poet nor a suave gentleman, so I’m a bit excited.”
“Pfft—”
Liu Shiyi was amused by Tangyu’s humor, her laughter causing her to quiver like a blossom in the wind, her charm coming alive.
“You really are humorous.
You helped my family so much yesterday, and it’s not okay for to treat you to a al?” Liu Shiyi said.
Tangyu pouted, “Of course it’s okay, although it doesn’t seem to be alti yet?”
“I was afraid you’d be too busy, so I ca to make an appointnt early in the morning.
Isn’t that more sincere?” Liu Shiyi said.
“Do I feel like I have been hoisted into the heavens?
I’m moved to tears; you’re being so sentintal,” Tangyu said, his face full of emotion.
“Whoosh—” Liu Shiyi laughed heartily and said, “Alright, no more jokes.
You’re too funny, being with you, I feel like my face is going to crack from smiling.
But today, I really did want to properly thank you.
Yesterday was too hurried, and I didn’t get a chance to thank you properly, which I regret.
Also, I do have so questions I want to ask you about, if you don’t mind sharing your knowledge?”
Asking for advice?
That certainly can be done, even more in-depth questions could be addressed.
“Heh, I’ll speak freely, though my expertise is limited,” Tangyu said.
Liu Shiyi’s face fell silent for a mont before she asked softly, “Do you know of any way to treat congenital heart disease?”
“Innate heart disease?” Tangyu was slightly stunned.
Anyone with common sense knew that this disease was basically incurable with dical science, just like terminal-stage cancer or diseases like AIDS; it was classified as a terminal illness.
However, congenital heart disease wasn’t necessarily fatal; it wouldn’t lead to death imdiately upon onset, although there was still a chance of it being fatal.
While it might not be as horrifying as cancer, it was definitely a worriso disease.
It was like having the Grim Reaper strapped to one’s back, with no one knowing when it would suddenly strike.
At least with current dical capabilities, there was no known complete cure for the disease.
“How many years has it been since the onset of the disease?” Tangyu inquired.
Liu Shiyi thought for a mont and replied, “The history isn’t long, just the last few years, probably five or six years.
However, the frequency of occurrence isn’t high; it used to be just two or three tis a year.
Lately, though, there seems to be an increase.”
“That’s still okay; the condition shouldn’t be too serious, but an increasing frequency of onset can be dangerous.
The patient you’re talking about is your grandfather, isn’t it?” Tangyu said.
Liu Shiyi was startled, looking up at Tangyu with a hint of surprise, “How did you know?”
Tangyu said, “You’ve forgotten that I t your grandfather yesterday, and we spent quite so ti together.
We who study Traditional Chinese dicine are skilled in diagnosis through observation, sll, questioning, and pulse-checking.
I can tell if soone is ill, and I noticed yesterday that your grandfather wasn’t in good health, his complexion wasn’t very good, indicating so ailnt, though I didn’t examine him further.”
Liu Shiyi then understood, and her admiration for Tangyu grew.
She was well aware of the ways of Traditional Chinese dicine, having studied it for over a decade, but she admittedly was nowhere near this level of proficiency, nor was her grandfather.
“Tangyu, I’m really worried about my grandfather’s health.
Do you have a way to treat this disease?” Liu Shiyi suddenly beca quite emotional, grabbing Tangyu’s hands.
Her eyes, brimming with water, also revealed a pleading look.
Having his hands held by Liu Shiyi, feeling her smooth, delicate touch, was indeed pleasant.
“Well—there might be a way, only—”
“Only what?
Whatever it takes, just say it,” Liu Shiyi beca even more agitated.
Confident that he could cure the disease, Tangyu acknowledged it presented so difficulties.
However, he had his principles.
He generally preferred not to treat n; his aid was reserved for won.
If he were to treat n, there would be a fee involved.
Yet, asking Liu Shiyi for a fee didn’t feel right to him.
Seeing how earnestly she was asking for his help, Tangyu found it hard to remain indifferent, and he had a fair amount of respect for the old TCM practitioner.
