“But I am interested…”
“Qinghe’s skills are inadequate, unable to teach.
If you truly are interested, go find a highly skilled doctor to instruct you.” The refusal could not have been more evident.
Tao Meijiao looked at Xiao Qinghe’s cold expression, his attention entirely focused on the herbs, sparing her not even a single glance.
Thinking back to their first meeting, when he had looked at her with clear astonishment in his eyes, she couldn’t believe he was now too miserly to even afford her an extra look.
She had thought that maybe he felt something for her.
But now it seemed that he was merely surprised by her beauty upon first meeting, nothing to do with affection.
Her emotions alternated between joy and sorrow.
She rejoiced in the fact that Xiao Qinghe was not a superficial man who cared only about looks.
She worried because he already had Su Qingyue in his heart, and she pondered how she could establish a place for herself there.
After drying the herbs, Xiao Qinghe returned to his room.
Tao Meijiao shamelessly followed him.
Xiao Qinghe’s wheelchair stopped at the desk, and upon seeing her follow him in, he expressed his discontent, “Miss Tao, this is my room.”
“I know.” Her smile bloomed like a flower, “Xiao Yue asked you to take care of me; I just came in to have a look.”
His face cooled, “There are gender restrictions at play here, I insist you leave.”
“Don’t push people thousands of miles away like that, I don’t mind all that about who can give what to whom, why do you care so much?” She picked up a notebook full of writing from the desk and flipped through it, finding every page and every sheet brimming with notes of studying medicine, the pages sewn together with needle and thread, clearly handmade, “Is this your notebook?”
He gave a slight nod.
She blinked, “You can read too?
The most uptodate nove𝙡s are published on frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓.
And your handwriting is quite elegant and attractive.”
“It was all taught by Qingyue.” His eyes filled with gratitude, “Qingyue hoped I could have a skill to rely on.
She first taught me to read, then imparted medical knowledge to me.
Otherwise, a doctor who couldn’t read would not be able to write prescriptions.”
“Xiao Yue is really good to you.”
He smiled softly, his expression tender when mentioning Su Qingyue, “Yes, she is the kindest person to me in this world.”
Tao Meijiao watched his tender gaze when he spoke of Su Qingyue, and his words made her feel that she might no longer have a chance to dislodge Su Qingyue from his heart.
A sense of heaviness settled in her heart, as she returned the notebook to the desk, “Are you going to practice calligraphy?
I can help you grind the ink…”
“No need,” he said, “I can do it myself.”
She snatched up the ink stick from the desk ahead of him, “For Miss Tao to grind ink for you is your honor, I say it shall be done!”
“Miss Tao, I never imagined you to be so obstinate!” His own face set into a frown.
Tao Meijiao had thought his temperament to be easily manageable, but seeing his temper flare, she quickly said, “I was just joking with you, don’t be angry.”
“Please leave at once, Miss Tao.
It’s not good to be seen like this.”
“I’ve already been spotted entering your room, and besides, the door isn’t closed, so what’s there to fear…”
“It’s not about fear.
It’s inappropriate for us to be alone together in a room as unmarried men and women…”
“My legs are weak; I’ll sit for a bit before leaving.” Saying so, she pulled out the chair and sat down at the desk, determined to stay.
“If you won’t leave, then I will.” He glanced at her beautiful face with a hint of helplessness and started to move his wheelchair away.
“Hey, fourth brother, don’t go, I still have things to say…” She quickly got up from her seat.
In the yard, Xiao Yishang had just escorted Li Rong’er back to her room before coming back to help Xiao Yuchuan and Zhou Fuquan build a wall.
Xiao Yuchuan and Zhou Fuquan were both laboriously working on constructing the kitchen wall.
