The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer

Chapter 1953 - 127: Awkward

Dong Huiying has always particularly liked rainy days and rainy seasons.

She believes that the air after the rain is fresher, and in her understanding, rain resembles a catalyst, like the fragrance of flowers, the wet wood smell of forests, and all these damp and chilly things, strangely, can bring peace to the heart.

Breakfast was lively, but probably only Dong Huiying herself was truly happy.

Li Luo was a guest, and as such, couldn’t help but be reserved.

Yet.

"Why do you two seem strange with each other?"

Dong Huiying tilted her little head, looking puzzled.

Shu Yu appeared quite the same as usual, except his mouth was a little swollen from biting into a spicy chicken wing right after getting up.

Overall, his expression was mild, but his eyes seemed to hold a hint of laughter, yet this laughter appeared mocking, as if taunting something, or perhaps it was teasing something?

Dong Huiying turned to look at Yixuan.

She was more concerned about Yixuan’s appearance; although he was as gentle as ever, the smile on his face deepened, but his eyes cooled down a bit.

Strange.

Could it be that Shu Yu annoyed Yixuan?

To be honest, seeing Yixuan angry was indeed rare. Even when this Bai Qiehei was angry, he could still remain gentlemanly and elegant.

"Us?"

Shu Yu glanced sideways and casually tossed out a sentence, "Ask him."

Yixuan: "..."

He slightly tightened the chopsticks in his hand, suddenly feeling a strong urge to beat up his second brother. But, he smiled and did not get angry.

"What does Second Brother mean by this?" Yixuan put on a look of shock, followed by a face full of confusion and bewilderment. "Ask me, ask me about what?"

He smiled, but his eyes secretly warned.

Shu Yu paused, giving Yixuan a meaningful look.

"You know very well."

"I really don’t know."

The two went back and forth, dodging the main point, leaving Dong Huiying completely bewildered, unable to understand what was going on between the two.

In the end, she decided not to think about it anymore.

Was the food not tasty, or was the soup not drinkable? Either way, she felt that it was better to eat more with her time; after all, the brothers did have conflicts sometimes, but it was usually just bickering without any grudges lingering overnight, and could just be seen as part of life’s little pleasures.

Dong Huiying thought openly.

Little did she know, Yixuan glanced at her, deep in thought, with his eyes seeming to carry a hint of distress.

...

After breakfast, Shu Yu took his guqin and left the house as usual.

Lately, he’s been quite secretive, and the family was too lazy to ask him. Regardless, he had a sense of propriety in his actions.

Moreover, if he didn’t want to explain, it meant he wasn’t ready to say anything, and asking would be of no use.

It would be better to wait quietly and patiently; when the time was right, he would naturally open up to the family.

After Shu Yu left, Yixuan stood up to clear the table and wash the dishes, while Dong Huiying, having nothing to do, sat under the eaves with Li Luo.

A small purple sandalwood table was between them, topped with dried fruits, snacks, and tea.

Dong Huiying grabbed a handful of peanuts, eating while asking.

"What are your plans next?"

Actually, she was just too bored, asking casually. But Li Luo surprisingly took a moment to think seriously.

"Actually, according to my true desire, I want to leave here with my dad and Xiao Shan, find somewhere where no one knows us, and peacefully live out our lives..."
