Thank goodness Wang Yao did not hear this . Otherwise, how am I supposed to meet him in the future?! Li Maoshuang rejoiced in secret . In fact, he did not blame his eldest and youngest sister . Their reasoning was valid . It was for the sake of their father’s health . Furthermore, Wang Yao’s age was really too young . Most people would not believe that such a young man was an expert in pharmaceuticals .
I know it very well .
The two sisters were reassured after Li Maoshuang had agreed .
After leaving the hospital, Wang Yao did not go back in a hurry . He drove to Wang Mingbao’s shop instead . He had not been there for quite some time .
When he entered Wang Mingbao’s shop and went up the second floor, he happened to see a man who seemed to be in his forties coming out of Wang Mingbao’s office . His eyes were red and he seemed to have just cried .
He knocked on the door .
“Come in . ”
He opened the door . Wang Mingbao was recording something and did not lift his head .
“Are you very busy?”
“Oh! What brings you here? Quick, take a seat . ” Wang Mingbao smiled and got up to brew some tea and serve some fruits .
“I was at the hospital just now, so I’m dropping by . ”
“You went to the hospital? Are you seeing a patient?”
“Yes . Li Maoshuang’s father is ill, so I went to visit him . ”
“Really? When did it happen?”
“Yesterday afternoon . He has cerebral thrombosis . ”
“Is his condition severe?” Wang Mingbao poured him a glass of water .
“He’s slightly better now . ”
“I’ll visit him some day . ”
They were already close friends . He had to pay a visit now that he knew about it . This was human sympathy .
“What’s wrong with the man who came out of your office just now? Did you scold him?”
“Ah . His son is ill . He needs some money urgently, so he wants to have an advance against his salary for three months,” Wang Mingbao explained with a smile . “He’s touched . ”
“Wow! What illness is it?” Wang Yao always asked about it when he came across an illness . This was almost a subconscious reaction from Wang Yao .
“I didn’t ask him about it . He’s planning to go to Ji City,” Wang Mingbao replied . “Why, did you want to have a look?”
“Forget it . ” Wang Yao smiled while shaking his head .
They had only met by chance . The other party might not be willing to believe he was capable of treating his son .
“Why don’t you stay for lunch? It’s my treat . ”
“Sure . ”
Wang Yao gave his family a call and notified them .
He stayed in Lianshan County for the afternoon . Tian Yuantu was invited . Wei Hai was in Haiqu City so he could not make it, whereas Li Maoshuang was still accompanying his father in the hospital . Moreover, Zhou Xiong and his son had also gone to Haiqu City . He took his son to watch the sea .
During lunch, Tian Yuantu seemed to have something on his mind .
“Brother Tian, is something bothering you?” Wang Yao asked .
“It’s nothing,” Tian Yuantu replied with a smile .
This was not the first time that Wang Yao had seen Tian Yuantu like this .
“Just tell me if you need any help . ”
“Okay,” Tian Yuantu responded .
This meal was not as enjoyable as usual . Although Tian Yuantu was talking and laughing, Wang Yao could clearly feel that Tian Yuantu had had something on his mind . Wang Mingbao could also feel it .
After lunch, Wang Yao went to Wang Mingbao’s shop again to have a chat .
“Is Brother Tian worried about something?”
“I think so too, but he won’t say it . ”
“Sigh . He has quite a strong resolve . ” Wang Mingbao lit a cigarette and poured Wang Yao some water .
“You can drink more tea, but you have to smoke less,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
He could hear that Wang Mingbao’s throat was a little hoarse . There were some murmurs in between his breathing . This was a symptom in the lungs, but it was not serious yet .
“Yeah . I’ve been smoking quite frequently lately,” Wang Mingbao was embarrassed and smiled .
“I’ll take a look . ”
“What?”
Want Yao stretched out his hand as he spoke .
“What are you doing?” Wang Mingbao was a little startled .
Wang Yao was already pressing his hands against Wang Mingbao’s chest . Wang Mingbao only felt a surge of heat radiating from his palms . It then penetrated into his skin and went deeper in .
Wang Yao’s palms were moving, pressing, lightly touching, rubbing .
It was initially warm, then it became cooling .
Wang Mingbao actually felt two very different feelings . However, his chest felt very relaxed no matter which feeling it was . The previous slight discomfort had even disappeared without a trace .
“How do you feel?”
“You’re impressive, buddy!” Wang Mingbao exclaimed . “What’s this? Is this neigong?” he joked .
“I guess so,” Wang Yao replied with a smile .
Shocked by the positive response, Wang Mingbao asked, “Really? You even practice neigong now?!” He had only seen this kind of thing in novels and movies .
Wang Yao laughed .
“Let’s talk about you . Could something be bothering you too?”
“No . I have good news,” Wang Mingbao answered with a smile .
“Good news?”
“Yeah . I have my eyes on a girl . She’s amazingly pretty!” Wang Mingbao replied .
“Really? This is great!” Wang Yao responded with a smile . Wang Mingbao and Wang Yao were around the same age . He was 27 years old this year and he was at the age to be getting married . However, Wang Mingbao had even higher achievements compared to that of Wang Yao . He was very manly and he had his own business . He was smart as well . He also had a good family . He had a father who was about to become the town secretary . He had to pick his wife out of a million .
“When’s your wedding?”
“I haven’t told my mother yet,” Wang Mingbao replied . “Oh right, she’s coming over later . Why don’t we have dinner together tonight?”
“I’m going to be a sore thumb when you two are eating . Oh yeah, why didn’t you ask her along for lunch?”
“She wasn’t free at noon because she had a guest at home,” Wang Mingbao answered .
“Okay . I’ll get going first . ”
“Okay . ”
Wang Mingbao saw Wang Yao off downstairs . As they were talking, a woman walked towards them . Her slim jeans accentuated her two perfectly straight and slender legs . She was wearing a simple, light gray, airy shirt . She had long hair and fair skin . She was wearing a pair of sunglasses, so her face could not be seen clearly . However, looking at her slim figure, her face must be beautiful as well .
“Qingqing . ” Wang Mingbao waved at the woman from afar . “She’s here . ”
“Is she the one you mentioned?”
“Yes . ”
Wang Yao initially did not look at the woman carefully . After hearing what Wang Mingbao said, he took a few more glances at her .
Huh?
He frowned a little .
After a while, the woman was in front of them . She brought a wave of fragrance .
“Let me introduce . This is Wang Yao, my buddy . Call him Brother . This is Shen Qingqing . ”
“Brother,” Qingqing took off her sunglasses and greeted him . Her voice was very clear .
At that moment, Wang Yao saw her face clearly . Her eyebrows were slender . She had bright eyes and white teeth . She was very pretty, to say the least . She was a beauty in a million .
“I’ll go back first . ”
“Okay . Drive safe . ”
Wang Mingbao and Shen Qingqing saw Wang Yao leave in his car . Then, they went into Wang Mingbao’s shop .
“Who was that?”
“He’s from my village . He’s my buddy . We grew up together . ”
“Oh . Is he running a business too?”
“No, he’s at home . ” Wang Mingbao seldom mentioned his buddy in front of outsiders . “What do you want to eat for dinner?”
“Hmm, I feel like eating fish fillets in hot chili oil . ”
“Sure . ”
There’s a problem!
In the car, Wang Yao was still thinking about the woman called Shen Qingqing .
The woman did not look quite right . Although she looked glowing, it was due to the objects of external perception, not her own complexion . Her body had had a fairly huge deficit not long ago .
Does the woman’s body have a deficit?
And her eyes?
Wang Yao had now learnt the four ways of diagnosis, which were looking, hearing, asking and diagnosing . The first type, which was ‘looking’, involved observing people’s complexions . In fact, there were even some metaphysics in it . It was also related to physiognomy . Therefore, he knew how to observe people as well .
Shen Qingqing’s eyes were sparkling, but they were coquettish .
As people said, the eyes were like the autumn water which was quiet and clear . On the other hand, if the eyes were like the spring water, they were rippling with love .
It was reasonable for a woman who was lovestruck to have such a gaze, but Wang Yao was still not at ease . After all, he was very close with Wang Mingbao . They were not blood-related brothers, but they were even closer than brothers .
This won’t do . I’ll talk to him and ask him about it again tomorrow .
Although Wang Mingbao had run his business for years and he was quite smart, people could get really dumb when they were passionately in love .
On the way home, Wang Yao saw an ambulance driven past his car in a hurry . It seemed to be very urgent .
After driving forward for a short distance, he saw a crowd at the place where the road was being repaired .
“Hey, what do you think is going on? How could the road repairs go so wrong?!”
“I know! First, someone died . Now, someone is injured . This is crazy!”
“Is there a curse behind this?”
