576: Chapter 576: I Don’t Need You to Manage 576: Chapter 576: I Don’t Need You to Manage Mo Xiaoqing changed her clothes and walked out of the restroom, only to notice sothing odd about Tangyu.
Her gaze accidentally fell there, and she saw sothing unusual.
The vision of the day she had an “honest” encounter with Tangyu suddenly flashed through her mind, and her cheeks could not help but blush with embarrassnt.
Every ti she thought about it, it made Mo Xiaoqing feel incredibly shy, unsure of how to face Tangyu.
Sotis, a foolish idea even popped into her mind, that she could use this to coerce Tangyu into taking responsibility for her.
But then, she would imdiately feel despicable for thinking such thoughts.
Of course, she would shake her head and dismiss the idea.
The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward; the two sat there, looking at each other, like a pair of love-struck youngsters, utterly unpolished in matters of love.
“Um, Tangyu, did you need sothing from ?” Mo Xiaoqing broke the silence.
Tangyu shook his head with a smile, “Nothing at all; just ca to see you, hang out a bit.”
“Seeing you, I don’t even know what to say.
You’re now a celebrated figure, a recognized Divine Doctor.
I am very proud and happy for you as a friend, and it’s an honor to have you as a friend,” said Mo Xiaoqing.
Tangyu curled his lips and said, “Do you have to sound so formal?
Famous or not, you know I’ve always been indifferent to fa and fortune; I don’t care for it at all, even find it sowhat annoying.
Simplicity and tranquility—that’s truth, and that’s all I need.
This huge response was totally beyond my expectations.
If I knew it would be this big, I might not have even joined the Traditional Chinese dicine team.”
Mo Xiaoqing looked at Tangyu and said, “You really are an odd one.
So many people dream of fa, aspire to achieve great things, and here you are, having achieved it, and yet you find it uninteresting.
I thought I understood you well, but now, I am realizing more and more that I might not understand you at all.
Being indifferent to fa and fortune is one thing, but you take it to an extre!
n are supposed to want to be heroes, to be famous, to be admired far and wide—that seems completely absent in you.”
“Heh, guess that ans I’m not a ‘great man’ then.
Living a life, well, it’s just like this.
Others have dreams, ambitions, spirit, but not .
So obviously I can’t compare with them.
What, are you disappointed in now?” Tangyu said.
Mo Xiaoqing shook her head, “Not at all, I admire you regardless.
You have your reasons for what you do.
Although I can’t understand your logic, I feel like we are not from the sa world anymore.”
“Could it be that I’m from Mars?” Tangyu said.
“Hehe, possibly, otherwise how could you be so different?
So, which star are you from?” Mo Xiaoqing joked with a smile.
“Alright, I’m from Mars,” Tangyu said.
“Hehe!” Mo Xiaoqing laughed even more joyfully.
Both of them started chatting casually, and the atmosphere improved, returning to their usual way of interacting.
Their mutual enjoynt was palpable.
“It’s about ti for my class, I’ve got to go to my office,” Mo Xiaoqing said as she got up.
“Alright, let’s go,” said Tangyu.
Mo Xiaoqing picked up her belongings and walked out with Tangyu like a couple, encountering so teachers along the way, all of whom smiled and gave way to them.
Used to being misunderstood like this, Mo Xiaoqing had beco numb to it, or perhaps she had grown accustod to it over ti.
Moreover, in school, their relationship had long been rumored, although it wasn’t as people said.
But no matter how she explained, no one believed her.
And Tangyu, involved in this matter, offered no explanations, which, to others, seed like a tacit agreent.
With Tangyu’s implied consent, their relationship seed officially defined.
Over ti, even Mo Xiaoqing herself couldn’t be bothered to care anymore.
Perhaps in her heart, she was willing to accept it as so.
But what made her feel bitter was, ever since Tangyu beca famous, the school’s teachers envied her, congratulated her, and her classmates admired, envied, and congratulated her, leaving her unsure how to respond.
An imagined happiness that brought her bittersweet amusent.
“I’m off to the office now, bye-bye,” Mo Xiaoqing waved her hand.
“Bye-bye,” Tangyu said, watching Mo Xiaoqing leave.
He then entered his own dical office, a relaxed duty.
He checked the ti and saw there were still fifteen minutes to class.
Though it seed short, it was actually quite a stretch since most students enter the school in the last ten minutes.
Just as Tangyu reached the doorway, he noticed a timid figure hiding behind a pillar.
Tangyu smiled towards that direction, “Saw you, co out, no need to hide.”
Xia Xiaoyu then ca out from behind the pillar, her hands behind her back, obviously holding sothing.
Her big, round eyes twinkled like stars as she looked at Tangyu, though her expression seed a bit off.
“Doctor Tang,” Xia Xiaoyu called out.
“Co in,” Tangyu waved her in, “What’s up, you look unwell; is sothing the matter?”
Xia Xiaoyu imdiately shook her head, “No, nothing’s wrong, just didn’t sleep well last night.
Doctor Tang, this, for you,” she said, pulling out a box of steaming osmanthus cakes from behind her.
“Hehe, made osmanthus cakes for again?
Honestly, I’ve been craving them.
Mmm, they sll delicious; let taste them,” Tangyu said, looking like he couldn’t wait.
Xia Xiaoyu bit her lip: “Doctor Tang—”
“What’s up?” Tangyu looked at Xia Xiaoyu.
A complex expression flashed through Xia Xiaoyu’s eyes, and she imdiately shook her head: “Oh, it’s nothing, go ahead and eat.
I wanted to ask you, have you been well recently?”
“I have, very well indeed.
Do I look like I’m not?” Tangyu said, then picked up a cup: “Eating this dry, slightly sweet stuff, it’s better to drink so water, do you want so?”
“I don’t need any,” Xia Xiaoyu gestured with her hand.
“Oh, there’s no water left, Xia Xiaoyu, could you get a bottle of hot water?” Tangyu said.
“Sure, I’ll go,” Xia Xiaoyu imdiately took the water bottle and headed outside.
After sending Xia Xiaoyu off, Tangyu’s expression slightly darkened, and a chilling light flashed through his eyes.
Soon, Xia Xiaoyu returned with the water, only to see Tangyu wiping his mouth, the osmanthus cake in the lunchbox all gone.
Xia Xiaoyu was slightly stunned and said, “Doctor Tang, have you finished it all?”
“Yes, I’ve finished it.
The osmanthus cake you made was delicious.
I couldn’t resist and just ate it directly, and accidentally finished it all.
I am really thirsty now.
I’ll drink so water,” Tangyu nodded.
“Oh, then I’ll go back to the classroom,” Xia Xiaoyu bit her lip and said.
If one looked closely, they would see a trace of blood on her lip.
Xia Xiaoyu hastily packed up the lunchbox, turned around, and ran off swiftly.
Watching Xia Xiaoyu’s retreating figure, Tangyu was silent for a while before withdrawing his gaze.
His face still bore a hint of a cold smile, like a treasured sword about to be unsheathed.
Thoughts fluttered through his mind, and it took a while before Tangyu cast them aside, opting not to dwell on them.
His gaze shifted to the window, admiring the scenery outside.
Suddenly, his eyes flickered as he spotted a familiar figure in the distant woods.
Hesitating briefly, Tangyu then stood up and walked over there.
Xiao Yudie was playing there with her Gu Insects.
Suddenly hearing footsteps, she quickly called her few Gu Insects, which obediently flew back into her sleeves.
Only then did Xiao Yudie turn around, her eyes coldly surveying Tangyu.
Upon recognizing him, her alert expression relaxed slightly, though her face remained frosty as if she was naturally joyless.
At such a young age, to be so cold, like a heartless assassin, was indeed rare.
It was hard to know what kind of childhood she had, or what kind of tragic story lay behind her.
“Why are you playing here alone?
It’s best not to let those Gu Insects out.
This place, although sowhat secluded, still might have people passing by.
If by chance they bite soone, that would be bad,” Tangyu said.
“Mind your own business,” Xiao Yudie snapped.
“I’m not minding your business; I’m just kindly reminding you.
I believe you wouldn’t want to harm anyone.
I can tell that deep down, you are a kind-hearted girl.
Still, I don’t understand why you always wear a cold expression.
At your age, you should be full of innocence, romance, and happiness.
You should smile more, play with other classmates, communicate and make friends more.
Then your life might be filled with very different wonders.”
“Leave alone,” Xiao Yudie said coldly.
“I really an it.
You are so young, where does all this sorrow co from?
You deserve to be happy.
Maybe you’ve always been like this, or maybe you fear that your Gu Insects might hurt those close to you.
However, I believe these aren’t big issues.
Your dical skills are also exceptional, I can see your talent is not inferior to your sister, Doctor Xiao.
If you focus a bit more, your future accomplishnts will not be less than Doctor Xiao’s.
Of course, you should also study; your grades in all subjects are very good, which is excellent,” Tangyu said.
“I don’t need your care,” Xiao Yudie said again, for the third ti.
“Ah, I’m really not minding your business.
Well, we can be considered friends, right?
As a friend, I am just suggesting a few things to you,” Tangyu said.
Xiao Yudie looked at Tangyu.
Friends?
That word was too strange and unattainable for her.
“I don’t have friends,” Xiao Yudie said with a touch of sadness and loss.
“How could that be?
I consider you a friend, and so do the people from our Traditional Chinese dicine squad.
By the way, have you been invited to join the Donglin First Hospital Traditional Chinese dicine Departnt?
If not, let invite you.
I will set up a Gu dicine Departnt especially for you, allowing your Gu dicine to be recognized by the world and you to apply your learning.
This way, your dical skills will progress even faster,” Tangyu said.
Xiao Yudie’s eyes twinkled slightly as she looked at Tangyu, her lips slightly moved as if she wanted to say sothing, but ultimately, she said nothing.
“I really an it.
I am now the director of the Donglin First Hospital Traditional Chinese dicine Departnt, and I have the authority,” Tangyu said.
Xiao Yudie shook her head, turned, and ran off without a word.
Tangyu shook his head; that young girl was really hard to understand.
