Chapter 345: Chapter 338: This is not a fairy tale
“I learned dicine from the village doctor as a child. He tutored for ten years until his passing.”
However, this village doctor seems to be no ordinary man.
Qin Ziye was indeed stunned because Tang Yuxin was much more exceptional than he had imagined.
It seems like he doesn’t need to worry about his own wellbeing in the future.
Being able to marry a top-notch doctor would undoubtedly be a blessing over three lifetis.
Tang Yuxin’s fingers gently trembled over the page as a soft smile played naturally at the corners of her lips.
The train was racing to reach the next station on ti, and right before arrival, an ergency pathway was forcibly cleared inside the carriage.
When the doctor arrived, the patient was stable. After setting up the IV, they quickly transported him to the hospital. The train halted briefly before resuming its journey.
Having endured annual Chinese New Year mass migrations, this was not the most uncomfortable train ride for Tang Yuxin. After all, the New Year’s trip is rarely comfortable. Everyone squeezes into a single carriage; all life’s necessities are packed into that space.
By the ti they got off the train two days and nights later, dark circles were visible under Tang Yuxin’s eyes. But it’s just temporary; rest would cure her fatigue.
Qin Ziye had reserved a room in a hotel in Qing’an and had already thrown his luggage in there.
“Do you think your dad would beat up if I went to your house?”
A joking question he asked while tugging on Tang Yuxin’s hair, internally pondering the volatile Tang Zhinian who had warned him off his daughter with a look of utter distaste, as if he were repulsed enough by him.
Such warnings were unnecessary. He won’t make a move on Tang Yuxin. She’s still young and hasn’t even graduated yet. He adheres to that moral standard, and considering her reticent nature, the extent of their intimacy was limited to holding hands, anything past that she didn’t seem to enjoy.
A true daddy’s girl indeed.
However, he was mistaken. Tang Yuxin was a good girl, but she wasn’t that good.
She understood that a relationship between a man and a woman cannot remain platonic forever. There was no rush; people in this generation were generally reserved, making it essential for her to be too.
As for whether Tang Zhinian would hit him, Tang Yuxin didn’t say, but most probably… yes.
Qin Ziye brought Tang Yuxin to Qing’an’s Blue River. The water of the Blue River was no longer as crystal clear. The water carried an unnatural darkness, indicating the beginning of pollution. Nevertheless, the Blue River was still their beloved river, but Tang Yuyu felt that she could no longer love it as before.
“Why do you like the water here?” Tang Yuxin asked Qin Ziye, puzzled. She rembered her first eting with him, standing here, against the wind, as if reminiscing. Was he recalling the water of the Blue River?
Your curiosity, Qin Ziye turned his head to find curiosity in Tang Yuxin’s eyes. Not a must-have curiosity, but a curiosity nonetheless.
She could know, or she could stay ignorant.
The glint in Qin Ziye’s eyes flashed as he looked at the quietly flowing Blue River. The river seed not to have changed much.
“A few years ago, I ca to the Blue River, although not willingly.”
Tang Yuxin was listening but remained silent.
“Back then, I got into so trouble. Soone beat up and then threw into the Blue River.”
Tang Yuxin suddenly turned, staring at Qin Ziye’s face. The pale-faced boy she had pulled from the water, even his lips were colorless. The boy’s face and Qin Ziye’s were the sa, down to the small mole at the corner of the eye. It matched perfectly.
Was that boy him?
Should she remark on how many coincidences there are in this world, and that it seems these coincidences might have been predestined?
A small smile played on her lips, and suddenly, even the changed waters of the Blue River seed charming.
“Actually… ”
Tang Yuxin suddenly released a breath, yet she didn’t finish her sentence.
She heard Qin Ziye’s voice again, his raspy voice laden with mories. They started here, but where did they lead? She did not know.
“I thought I was done for, you wouldn’t know. When I was thrown into the river, I thought I was going to die. The fear of being suffocated by the surrounding water, an experience I’ll never forget. Even after learning to swim, even after overcoming my fear of water, I still have nightmares about it.”
“Later…” He chuckled, the warmth in his eyes was sothing Tang Yuxin had never seen before.
“She saved .”
Tang Yuxin frowned, “Do you rember who saved you?” As he was unconscious then, he couldn’t have seen her. And now, his mannerisms showed that he didn’t know her at all.
“Of course, I rember,” Qin Ziye said as he looked at the no longer pristine water of the Blue River, “I love the Blue River, and I fear it too.”
“It was her who pulled out of the river and sent to the hospital. I will forever rember what she looked like at that ti. She was a young girl, but when she smiled, she was beautiful. Maybe because she had been studying music since she was young, she always carried this elegant charm. Yuxin, have you ever slled a fragrance on soone’s body?”
Tang Yuxin gently pressed her lips together, “Hmm, I have,” She felt a chill run along her arm, and the Blue River in her eyes began to feel desolate.
“I vaguely slled it on her. She said it was the scent of her perfu, but I knew it was her scent. Unique to her, no one else could have it.”
“And where is she now?” Tang Yuxin’s fingers tightly held her own in anticipation.
“She went abroad.”
Qin Ziye’s hand tucked into his pocket, “Let’s forget about this,” He stroked Tang Yuxin’s hair, “You should go ho. If your father finds out that I’ve taken his daughter away, it will be another reason for him to despise .”
“Okay,” Tang Yuxin smiled. There was sothing about Qin Ziye’s expression. It was as though he was watching her, yet not. When Tang Yuxin tried to figure it out, she found nothing there.
“What about you?” she asked him again.
“Don’t worry, ” Qin Ziye said, pinching her cheek and tucking her hair behind her ear. “This isn’t my first ti in Qing’an. I know this place well. I just want to spend a bit more ti here.”
