Ye Ling thought to herself, “What issues does he have? Aren’t you the one who knows him best? Do you not feel whether it’s a short or long duration every time?”
Naturally, Ye Ling couldn’t ask such questions. She could only force a mysterious smile. “Don’t worry, it’s not a big problem. Let him take the medicine first. This medicine won’t cause any harm to the human body, it’s just a tonic. Just eat it without worry.”
Hearing Ye Ling’s words, Jin Zhi was too embarrassed to continue asking. She was afraid that Ye Ling would think she was doubting Ye Ling’s medical skills. “Okay, Doctor Ye, I understand. I’ve troubled you today.”
Ye Ling waved her hand dismissively. “It’s fine. I also freeloaded a meal from your family. Your cooking is delicious. Your husband must have gained weight in the past two years, right?”
Jin Zhi’s eyes widened slightly. She did not expect Ye Ling to be able to tell this.
She nodded and said, “Yes, I’ve already been supervising him to lose weight. The aunties around me told me that if the man is too fat, it will also affect the child…”
The two of them chatted as they walked out of the door. Jin Zhi wanted to send Ye Ling back to the dormitory, but Ye Ling stopped her. “No need, I’ll go back by myself. Once I’m done with a course of medicine, bring your husband and come to the pharmacy to find me.”
Jin Zhi nodded vigorously and expressed her gratitude again. Then, she watched Ye Ling walk out of the door.
Ye Ling left Jin Zhi’s house and planned to return the way she came, but she saw a familiar figure after taking two steps.
“Big Brother Min Nan?” Ye Ling was stunned for a few seconds before she jogged over. “Why are you here?”
Min Nan handed the coat hanging on her arm to Ye Ling. “The temperature is low at night. Why are you only wearing so little? This is my godmother’s coat.
Put it on first.”
Ye Ling smiled embarrassedly, took the coat, and put it on.
“Aunt Wen told my godmother that you’ll be going to Jin Zhi’s house for dinner tonight,” Min Nan continued to explain.
Wan Wen and Sun Li’s husbands had the same surname and were from the same village. The two families were relatives for several generations. Although they didn’t usually interact, they would visit each other during the New Year and the holidays. Their relationship was quite good.
Wan Wen knew that Sun Li’s family had a young female scholar staying with them. She heard that Sun Li treated the young female scholar very well. The neighbors said that perhaps Sun Li was planning to let the young female scholar be her daughter-in-law.
After Wan Wen investigated the identity of “Doctor Yet‘, she was surprised to find that “Doctor Yet‘ was the young female scholar who used to stay in Sun Li’s house.
“Don’t blame Aunt Wen for talking too much. She’s just worried that it’s not safe for you to walk alone at night,” Min Nan explained unnaturally.
Of course, Min Nan knew very well that Aunt Wen’s real purpose was to match him and Ye Ling.
Furthermore, Wan Wen knew that Ye Ling had a good relationship with Sun Li’s family, so she dared to inform Sun Li in advance.
Sun Li naturally understood what Wan Wen meant. She immediately asked Min Nan to change into clean clothes and pick up Ye Ling at night.
“It’s already very late. Why don’t you rest at our house for the night and go to work tomorrow morning?” Min Nan suggested.
Ye Ling bit her lip, feeling conflicted.
She had chosen to come to see Wan Wen’s mother and Jin Zhi’s husband at night, but it would be very late for her to return to the educated youth dormitory after dinner.
It would indeed be much more convenient if they stayed at Min Nan’s place for a night.
But…
Seeing Ye Ling’s conflicted expression, Min Nan thought of what Sun Li had said to him before she left.
“Silly boy, let me tell you, Lingling is a shy girl. She will hesitate if you let her stay at our house for a night.”
The current situation was exactly as Sun Li had predicted.
Min Nan couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, “As expected, godmother is the best.”
Min Nan looked at Ye Ling. He suddenly thought of something. He repeated what Sun Li had told him. “My godmother said that she misses you a lot. It’s been a long time since she last saw you.”
When Ye Ling heard this, the image of Sun Li’s kindness to her appeared in her mind. She immediately stopped struggling and said with embarrassment, “Alright, then I’ll have to bother you all for the night.”
Min Nan didn’t expect Sun Li to be so effective. He couldn’t help but think sourly in his heart, “If he said he missed Ye Ling too, would Ye Ling stay so easily?”
The answer was naturally no. Ye Ling would probably run back to the dormitory immediately.
This was their current relationship.
He couldn’t even express the love that was about to spill out of his heart.
Min Nan was a little depressed. He had originally wanted to wait until Ye Ling slowly fell in love with him before confessing to her. That way, Ye Ling might not reject him.
But he didn’t know when Ye Ling would fall in love with him..
