"Okay, I understand, I’ll go shortly."
Lin Yifan hung up the phone, staring at the ceiling.
"What’s wrong? You don’t seem very happy."
Xu Fengxian curiously looked at the serious expression on Lin Yifan’s face.
"Logically speaking, Xiao Cui’s wound isn’t that big, and she took dicine and bathed in dicinal herbs. Even if she had an allergy, it shouldn’t react this way. Now she’s complaining of pain again, could it be that my dical skills are lacking, or is there an internal issue I haven’t noticed?"
Lin Yifan kept recalling those dical cases in his mind.
By rights, this shouldn’t be happening.
"You really are wise at tis and ignorant at others, such a straight man, completely oblivious to subtleties. It’s not that your dical skills are insufficient, but that you don’t understand won enough. She’s not in physical pain; it’s a heartache, missing you. You should visit her soon."
Xu Fengxian said to Lin Yifan with a smile.
"Sigh, since she’s better now, I do need to have a talk with her."
Lin Yifan sat up, reaching for the clothes Xu Fengxian handed him.
"What are you going to discuss? You’re not thinking of rejecting Xiao Cui, are you? That would be too cruel."
Xu Fengxian sensed sothing was amiss and held onto the clothes instead.
"It’s not cruelty; I already told you, I’m not suitable for her."
Lin Yifan snatched the clothes and said.
The heart indeed admires beauty, but a gentleman has things he will and won’t do.
As for the young Xiao Cui, his heart couldn’t yet wield the hand.
"If you don’t deceive, does that an others won’t? People have to grow up, and they’ll inevitably suffer their share of setbacks. Let tell you, Xiao Cui has always been a standout since childhood, with quite a strong self-esteem. Girls at this age are the most susceptible to emotional hurt. If you bluntly reject her, she could do anything drastic, harming herself for a lifeti."
Xu Fengxian sat beside, muttering.
In this world, only won understand won better.
"I know."
Lin Yifan smiled, dressed up, and then stepped out of the room.
"I really wonder how many romances you’ll have in this lifeti. Why do so many beautiful won jump into the pit on their own accord?"
Walking Lin Yifan to the door, Xu Fengxian shook her head with a bitter smile.
However, she, amidst the taphorical pit, felt free and indulged, not considering returning.
Lin Yifan walked along the village path towards Liu Laoda’s house.
He greeted every villager he t along the way.
When he arrived at Liu Laoda’s courtyard, the couple was waiting inside.
Seeing Lin Yifan, they greeted him warmly with smiles.
"Here’s a waterlon freshly picked this morning. Have a taste, it’s really sweet."
"Co, have a cigarette first!"
Li Guixiang enthusiastically handed over the sliced waterlon, while Boss Liu offered a good cigarette.
"I’ll check on Xiao Cui first, then I’ll eat later."
From the couple’s deanor, there seed to be no urgency in their matters.
Lin Yifan didn’t want to say much, so he declined them and stepped into the house.
"Yifan, your aunt and I are going to buy so wine. Let’s have a drink at noon."
Smiling, Boss Liu and Li Guixiang didn’t follow him in.
Instead, they pushed open the courtyard gate and walked out.
Before leaving, they made sure to padlock the front gate.
Suddenly, the spacious house only had Liu Xiaocui inside.
Despite feeling a little awkward, Lin Yifan stepped into the house.
He walked through the living room and gently knocked on Xiao Cui’s room door.
"Yifan, co in quickly."
Inside the room, Xiao Cui’s voice was filled with joy.
"I heard from your dad that your wound hurts a lot, so I ca to check on it."
As he entered, the room still carried a young girl’s fragrance.
Seeing Xiao Cui snuggled under the covers, her cheeks were rosy, tinged with a hint of blush.
Her eyes were bright, sparkling with affection.
Her well-grood hair was tied into two ponytails, so pure that it seed water would drip from it.
Such a lovely face showed no trace of illness or pain.
"Hmm, it started aching again this morning... Yifan brother... please help look at it."
Xiao Cui, showing only her face, lay curled up on the bed.
Her face flushed as she spoke to Lin Yifan.
"Alright."
Lin Yifan placed the dicine box on the table.
He took out tweezers with a piece of alcohol-soaked cotton and sat by the bed.
Reaching out with his right hand, he gently lifted the pink sheet.
Her cute, fair little foot appeared before him.
But just as he was about to reach the wound, Xiao Cui suddenly flung the covers open.
Her graceful figure swiftly plunged into Lin Yifan’s arms like the wind.
"Xiao Cui, what are you doing?"
Lin Yifan looked at the girl in his arms.
The young and beautiful Xiao Cui was breathtakingly lovely.
"Yifan, I actually lied to you. My wound healed long ago. I just missed seeing you. The Provincial City called my dad, asking to return soon, but I don’t want to go."
Tightly holding onto Lin Yifan’s neck, Xiao Cui spoke excitedly in his ear.
Her beautiful face was tantalizingly close.
"You little rascal, this is good news. What’s there to miss in this barren mountain area?"
Lin Yifan affectionately pinched her pink nose.
"But... if I go back, I won’t be able to see you every day. I don’t want to leave you."
Xiao Cui’s beautiful eyes shimred with emotions.
Looking at the handso Lin Yifan, she felt her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
"At your age, if you don’t see the world outside the mountains now, when will you? Wait until you’re old? Besides, you’ve been practicing dance for so long, how can you give up just because of fondness? Co back to play during the holidays."
Lin Yifan tried to avoid her sowhat burning gaze.
"If I listen to you, will you promise one thing? I want to be your girlfriend."
Xiao Cui shyly tilted her head, looking up at Lin Yifan.
"Don’t be silly..."
Lin Yifan hurriedly stepped back, breaking free from her hands.
Never thought her normally shy self would say such things.
"I’m not being silly, I’m serious. Do you dislike that I’ve been in a relationship?"
Xiao Cui suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with tears.
Her aggrieved look was so pitiful it could soften anyone’s heart.
"Don’t say that, why would I dislike you? It’s about respecting you, as we’ve only known each other for a few days, and there’s a big age gap between us."
Lin Yifan said sternly with a straight face.
"I don’t care, there are people who know each other for a lifeti and it’s useless. From the first ti I saw you, I knew you were the only man for . You even saved my life. In this life and the next, I only recognize you!"
Xiao Cui’s pure eyes stared unwaveringly into Lin Yifan’s.
Her blushing cheeks exuded endless vitality.
Always strong-willed, she had her own world.
No one could change what she decided on.
"Xiao Cui, I understand your feelings for , but it’s not the right ti yet."
Lin Yifan reached out to brush away the hair on her forehead.
As he was about to leave, Xu Fengxian’s warning echoed in his ears.
"Why is it okay for Widow Liu, but not for ... you must think I’m no match for her!"
Xiao Cui’s aggrieved tears rolled down her beautiful face.
Such a pitiful sight was heartbreaking.
"Of course not."
Lin Yifan quickly reached out to wipe her tears.
It was clear she had heard a lot about his romantic escapades.
"I know you’re excellent, Yifan, and you have so many beautiful won around you. But no matter how many won you have, I just want you to be my only man. I won’t compete or fight for anything. Just being able to be by your side is enough!"
Hugging Lin Yifan’s arm tightly, Xiao Cui almost begged while kneeling on the bed.
Tearful eyes gazed at him, filled with endless sorrow.
The naturally beautiful young woman, in this mont, seed as fragile as water.
Even Lin Yifan couldn’t resist such a plea.
He slowly lowered his head, embracing Xiao Cui in his arms.
