Chapter 2169 The Adventures of the New Miracle Doctor
Through a window.
He stood in the moonlight and she was surrounded by candlelight.
Lin Wenjing didn't know how long he had been standing there.
Coming back to his senses, he took a deep breath silently, turned around and walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked twice.
Shi Li looked up when he heard the voice and said with some doubt, "Come in."
I can’t guess who would come to see her at this late hour.
Then he saw Lin Wenjing walking in from outside, and immediately put it down and stood up, "City Lord Lin."
"I heard that you were leaving?" Lin Wenjing shifted his gaze from the book to her face, pretending that he had not heard her conversation with Mrs. Lin during the day.
Shi Li glanced at the medical book reluctantly and nodded, "I'm already well. I've disturbed you for a long time. It's time to leave."
There are really a lot of precious medical books collected in the City Lord's Mansion, many of which are rare copies that she has never seen before. She has read quite a few of them in the past few days, but there are still many that she has not had time to read one by one.
Lin Wenjing was silent for a moment, thinking to himself, is he so impatient to return to Xiuyue City just to meet a hypocritical and cowardly man?
"You...why don't you rest for a few more days before going back? There's no need to rush." He couldn't say the truth, so he could only politely try to keep her.
Shi Li was stunned, "Hurry?"
"You rest for a few more days, and then I will send a carriage to take you back to Xiuyue City." Lin Wenjing didn't notice Shi Li's strange expression.
But the more he spoke, the more he couldn't hide his sour tone, "Are you so anxious to go back and see..."
"I'm not going back to Xiuyue City." Shi Li interrupted and corrected him.
Seeing Lin Wenjing looking at him in astonishment, he blinked and said, "I'm not going back to Xiuyue City. I'm just going back to Sister Fang's clinic."
It turns out that I got the wrong meaning.
Lin Wenjing felt as if a huge stone had fallen to the ground. His tightly closed mind instantly relaxed. A smile gradually spread to the corners of his eyes, and his pair of peach blossom eyes were filled with sparkling light.
This person's life is so beautiful, so beautiful that it's unreasonable.
Shi Li has always loved beauty, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times. She was afraid that Lin Wenjing would find out and tease her again, so she quickly looked away.
Perhaps it was because of Lin Wenjing's good attitude just now, Shi Li saw the medical book and said brazenly: "I have another unreasonable request, and I hope the city lord can agree to it."
"Tell me, what's the unreasonable request?" Lin Wenjing was in a very good mood at the moment, and asked with a smile.
Shi Li then picked up the medical book and said sincerely, "There are many precious medical books in the City Lord's Mansion that I have never read. Can you lend them to me to read and copy in the future? I will keep them properly and will never damage the medical books."
Lin Wenjing wanted to agree to such a simple request, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into -
"There are indeed several very precious and rare medical books in the mansion, which cannot be lent out casually... If you really want to read and copy them, you can only come to my study and cannot take the medical books out."
Shi Li was a little disappointed, but also felt it was understandable.
After all, printing technology was not widely used in that era, and many books were unique, so the owners would cherish them especially. At least Lin Wenjing did not refuse.
"Well, I hope the city lord will forgive me for disturbing you in the future." Shi Li bowed to Lin Wenjing very seriously.
Lin Wenjing subconsciously reached out to stop her but was too late. He frowned slightly and said, "You weren't so distant before."
During the epidemic, he felt that the relationship between the two was still quite familiar, but now that Shi Li had recovered from her illness, it seemed that she had resumed her previous politeness and courtesy towards him.
"It's not that we are strangers. I was worried about the epidemic before and was impolite many times. Please don't blame me, City Lord!" Shi Li touched her nose awkwardly, thinking that Lin Wenjing was teasing her on purpose, and felt resentful in her heart.
"I'm really annoyed by your behavior now!" Lin Wenjing really didn't know how to say nice things, and said hastily, "I'm used to seeing you showing your arms and rolling up your sleeves to prick people with needles, but I'm really not used to seeing you like this now!"
Shi Li: ...
"How about I give the city lord two more injections to get him used to it?" She raised her head and pinched her fingers quietly.
Although there was no silver needle in his hand, Lin Wenjing still thought of the feeling of acupuncture by her in the carriage before, and immediately took a step back.
"Don't push me too far. I'm fine now. I don't need an injection!"
"Didn't the city lord just say that he wasn't used to it? If you don't want to get pricked, then don't do it!" Shi Li lowered his hands with an innocent look on his face.
Lin Wenjing had an embarrassed look on his face, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He took off the jade pendant again and handed it to Shi Li.
"This time, you helped me and the people of the whole city. I give you this jade pendant. It will be helpful for you to deal with any problems in the future."
This time, Shi Li looked at the jade pendant and felt shamefully moved.
She plans to settle down in Fengqi City and open a clinic in the future. If she has Lin Wenjing's support, she will not be afraid of anything.
Because he hadn't walked out yet, Shi Li didn't know that his current reputation was no less than that of Lin Wenjing, the lord of the city.
"Then I'll respectfully obey your command." Shi Li finally couldn't resist the temptation and held Lin Wenjing's jade pendant tightly.
