Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi
Chapter 60 First Encounter
The upper room of Deyi Building is very spacious, with a total area of 450 feet. There is a study room inside, which separates the inner and outer rooms very well. This layout makes Mu Yao feel a little relieved.
Pushing aside the carved lattice, there is a wide river channel, with several boats and boats shuttling back and forth on the clear water. The flowers and trees on both sides are neatly arranged, each one is handsome. When the wind blows, the petals fall in a riot of colour, scattering on the gurgling water, and the fragrance is fragrant.
Mu Yao is now on the third floor of the inn, and is estimated to be nearly twelve meters above the water surface. This height is not a big challenge for her. The only drawback is that she can't swim.
Suddenly, she felt a trace of heat lingering around her ears. She slightly tightened her hands that were clasped on the railing, suppressed her anger and said, "Wei Wushang, stay away from me."
Wei Wushang ignored her words, but leaned closer to her beautiful back, half hugging Mu Yao in his arms. Their fingers were less than half an inch apart, and their black hair was entangled, as if it could not be cut or untangled. His handsome face was close to her hair and he whispered, "Come in and eat something. There is fish you like." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, as if nothing had happened.
The night wind blew past, dispelling the heat in Mu Yao's heart and also blowing away the blush that had crept up on her cheeks.
The steamed fish at Deyilou is delicious. It has just the right amount of fermented rice wine, making it tender, plump and slightly sweet. It melts in your mouth and is simply amazing.
The other two snacks, the jujube paste cake and the lily soup, were too sweet, so she only took two bites and put them down. She was not used to the sweet taste of the people in Beiming.
Wei Wushang saw her displeasure and asked, "The mung bean and lotus seed soup here is refreshing and delicious. It's available chilled. Would you like some?"
"I want it chilled." Mu Yao nodded slightly. She loved eating ice cream. Even in the bitter cold of winter, she would wrap herself up in a blanket and eat a bite of her favorite ice cream.
After a while, seeing that Wei Wushang didn't move, he raised his eyes and met a pair of probing eyes.
Mu Yao knew that the man was suspicious again, and pursed her lips and said, "Are you afraid that I'll run away? Then I won't drink. You're so worried about me, do you have to watch me sleep and take a bath to feel at ease?"
Wei Wushang lowered his eyelashes and fiddled with the jade chopsticks in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.
"Come down with me." He said worriedly.
"I won't go. You keep staring at me day and night. I am tired even if you don't feel tired. I can't beat you, and I can't run away from you. I have no money and I can't swim. Why are you worrying about me in the middle of the night? Who said that I can have a good meal tonight, take a hot bath and have a good sleep? Who said that I won't lose out by following you? Now you still have to worry about eating a bowl of iced mung bean porridge. What else can I expect from you? Wei Wushang, you can't watch me every minute of the twelve hours. Even gods can't do that."
Men can't stand women questioning them, especially when they think the question makes sense.
Under Mu Yao's repeated verbal stimulation, Wei Wushang finally moved.
"Stay here and wait for me to come back." Wei Wushang stared at Mu Yao quietly for three breaths, his tone full of warning.
Mu Yao avoided his gaze and continued to eat.
The moment the door was closed, Mu Yao quickly put on her veil, rushed to the window in one step, and closely observed the ships coming and going.
The situation is urgent, and she will give it a try as long as there is a 1% chance of success.
From the west, a small black-sailed boat was slowly approaching, with two gorgeous lychee lanterns hanging on the eaves. They swayed in the night breeze, just like mica containing tiny specks of light.
Mu Yao stared at it intently, quickly weighing the success rate of boarding the ship. The current height of the building compared to the size of the boat, the momentum seemed a bit too great.
The opportunity never came again, she had no choice and no time to think.
When the boat was about ten feet away from her, she jumped down in one go.
As expected, his center of gravity was unstable and his body shook violently along with the boat, causing the boatman at the back to row hard several times.
Suddenly, a big hand stretched out from the black umbrella, grabbed her wrist, and stabilized her shaky body.
The power on the wrist directly brought Mu Yao into a strong embrace, and what came into view was a bunch of silver hair as translucent as morning dew.
She raised her eyes suddenly and saw a flawless face. His silver hair flowed casually on his shoulders like the Milky Way under the hazy moonlight, and each strand of hair exuded a faint luster. This was a man who was breathtakingly beautiful. His eyes were as calm as ink and as deep as the sea. He was looking at her with a smile and asked softly, "My lady, are you okay?"
Mu Yao stared at the silver-haired man in front of her in a daze. A faint scent of tea permeated her nose and lingered around her nose. The unfamiliar aroma and the warmth of his palms brought her back to her senses in an instant. She quickly left his arms and sat aside.
After calming herself down, Mu Yao asked, "Thank you, sir. Could you give me a ride? I..." Thinking of how she was short of money and didn't know how to repay him, she curled her fingers together in embarrassment and lowered her head.
Shen Chutang raised his beautiful eyebrows, his eyes sparkling, and smiled gently, "No problem, I have nothing to do anyway, so I'm going to go boating on the Erhai River at night. Now that I have a beautiful woman by my side, I'm very happy. Where do you want to go, my lady?"
It was Mu Yao's first time to set foot in Bei Ming, and the only person she knew was Xie Ci. She silently glanced at the silver-haired man and asked cautiously, "I wonder how far this place is from Xian Shui?"
"Oh? Your Excellency wants to go to Xian Shui? What a coincidence, you are going to the same direction as me. We are in the same boat, fortunately we meet, and will travel the world together. My name is Shen Chutang, what is your name?" Shen Chutang's smile was as warm as a spring breeze, and his eyes were full of kindness, which made Mu Yao absent-minded.
The gentler a man is, the more dangerous he is.
Her pink nails dug deep into her palms, forcing herself to calm down.
She recovered and replied, "My last name is Yao, and my given name is Hui, which means Enze Hui."
"Why did Miss Yao jump from Deyi Tower in the middle of the night?" Shen Chutang looked curiously at the woman in front of him who was wearing a veil on her head and an amber dress.
Mu Yao looked at the Deyi Tower which was getting farther and farther away. Considering that she had to rely on this man's strength now, she had to tell the truth: "Mr. Shen, to be honest, I'm hiding from someone. Can you help me make the boat go faster?" Her heart was hanging in the air. Wei Wushang was a very skilled martial artist. If she was caught by him, it would be even more difficult to escape. She might even implicate this silver-haired young man. When she thought of this, even the air seemed thinner.
Shen Chutang carefully looked at the woman in front of him. It was the first time he saw a noble lady escaping in such a panic in the middle of the night. He couldn't help but narrow his beautiful eyes and question her identity.
"Tell me your real name, and I will take you to Xianshui earlier, how about that?" Shen Chutang smiled as always, his voice as intoxicating as mellow wine.
The man's alertness and sharpness caught Mu Yao's attention, forcing her to look at him straight in the face through the fence.
The situation was pressing, she sighed in her heart and said frankly: "Mr. Shen is thoughtful, Mu Yao admires him."
"It turns out to be Miss Mu, nice to meet you. May I know which Yao you are?" Shen Chutang asked.
"Meiyuyao."
"What a nice name. It suits the lady's elegance." Shen Chutang memorized the name silently. It seemed familiar to him. He must have heard it somewhere before.
"Let's go." Shen Chutang looked at Mu Yao with a smile in his eyes, stood up and walked to the bow of the boat.
Mu Yao didn't understand what was going on, so she walked to his side.
The moonlight was like water. Shen Chutang was bathing in the moonlight, wearing a white robe with fluttering sleeves, like the most dazzling exiled immortal in the sky, full of gentleness and tranquility. His handsome face that seemed unreal made people feel as if their souls were cleansed and sublimated.
He stared at Mu Yao with his beautiful eyes, a warm smile on his lips, and put his big hands around her slender waist. He jumped up and lightly touched the waves. After passing a section of the river, he jumped up again, passing through countless streets and alleys like a flying goose stepping on snow. They flew steadily and high, until the big red lanterns hanging on the eaves of the pavilion gradually turned into stars.
Mu Yao was shocked by his strength and felt extremely uneasy. She just hoped that after arriving in Xianshui, she could draw a clear line with him as soon as possible and find Xie Ci.
In the "Deyi Building", Wei Wushang sat in an empty room, the bowl of soup in his hand had been crushed to pieces by him, the sharp cuts pierced deep into his palms, blood gushed out. The corners of his eyes were red, and his handsome face was ferocious like a demon crawling out of hell.
If it weren't for the drunk caravan drivers who caused trouble and delayed him for a few moments, the woman wouldn't have escaped so quickly! When he thought about her leaving without a trace of nostalgia, the days of living together seemed like a joke. The little starlight that had just bloomed in his heart became dim again. He returned to the lonely days of being despised and betrayed everywhere. Could he really be the "star of doom" predicted by Master "Mingjing"?
Even if it was true, so what? As for the person he, Wei Wushang, had set his eyes on, he would definitely bring her back even if she had to run to the ends of the earth.
At this time, the city of Xianshui was quiet and silent. The streets were pitch black. Only a few shops still had big red lanterns hanging in front of their doors, as if bringing a glimmer of hope to the night.
"Ms. Mu, it's late at night. I wonder which street you live on? Can I take you home?" Shen Chutang said seriously.
Mu Yao nervously moved back half a foot, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Shen. My friend is not far from here, so you don't have to trouble him..." She turned around slowly, thinking about what to give to thank Shen Chutang.
She is penniless now, and only the pair of red coral earrings on her ears are worth some silver. This is the dowry her father gave her.
A penny can make a hero fall. She awkwardly took off an earring and handed it to Shen Chutang: "Mr. Shen, I'm so sorry, I came out in a hurry and didn't bring any money with me. This red coral earring is from Chizhou, the quality is pretty good, I hope you can accept it and don't despise it. If we meet again in the future, I will repay you a lot."
She had no choice but to make a promise and see if he would accept it. She still had one earring to pawn. She had to rely on herself before she found Xie Ci. It made her feel like she was back in the days when she was living in Yangming Town. If it didn't work out, she could only find a job in the city, but she was wearing women's clothes... The more Mu Yao thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she couldn't help but secretly curse Wei Wushang.
After a long silence, Shen Chutang chuckled. Mu Yao's eyes fell on the dimples on his lips, and her cheeks instantly felt hot.
This was even more embarrassing than when she faced Uncle Niu, and her breathing became a little faster.
"It's okay. It's late at night, and I can't bear to see Miss Mu living on the streets with the sky as her roof and the ground as her bed. Why don't you come with me to Qishiju to stay first?"
"Qishiju?" Mu Yao asked doubtfully.
"That is the largest restaurant and inn in Xianshui City. It is built around the mountains and has countless strange rocks inside, hence the name Qishiju." Shen Chutang introduced in detail. Seeing her hesitation, he then showed a friendly smile and said, "It's past the hour of the Ox. Why don't you take a good rest before making plans? Qishiju is crowded with people coming and going, and the environment and dishes are all first-class. Miss Mu can rest assured to stay here."
Listening to his persuasive words, it would be a lie to say that I was not tempted. I just wanted to find a place to take a hot bath and have a good sleep. But thinking of the accommodation fee, I couldn't help but hand him my earring-wrapped hand.
Shen Chutang smiled knowingly, stretched out his right hand and gently pressed back the small hand that was white and shining with moonlight. His eyes fell on the red coral, and he felt that her palm looked even whiter and more tender, like a crystal water lotus.
The moment Mu Yao's fingertips touched the big palm, a chill struck her heart. This was an abnormal body temperature. She seemed to have thought of a way to repay him. She held his wrist with her backhand and said softly, "I am a doctor. If Mr. Shen trusts me, you can let me take your pulse. I will accept your favor."
A trace of surprise flashed across Shen Chutang's eyes. This woman could sense his body coldness with just a light touch. His gaze on her became serious. He smiled generously and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Mu."
Thirty breaths later, Mu Yao put down his white wrist and said in detail: "Mr. Shen probably has had the cold since he was a child. He has been able to hold on until now thanks to his strong internal strength."
Mu Yao paused here and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This is incredible. This person is probably as strong as Wei Wushang. We must not provoke him. We must stay away from him tomorrow morning."
"Can it be cured?" Shen Chutang saw that she was silent and thought it was still incurable. His cold poison was brought from his mother's womb, and it would relapse every three months, and the toxicity would be a little more severe each time. All this was thanks to Wei Wushang's poisonous scorpion mother. When he was a child, his mother exhausted all her skills for his illness, so that now she has become a useless person. Later, when he grew up, he practiced hard every day and aspired to be the supreme. Doctor Jian said that he would not live past the age of twenty-five. Now he has reached the age of thirty, and it is indeed all thanks to his deep internal strength that he has been able to hold on until now. My life is in my own hands, and as long as he lives one more day, I will drag Wei Wushang to be buried with him!
He suddenly raised a gentle smile, his eyes showing infinite warmth, and he said softly: "It's okay, it's a terminal illness, I have long since become indifferent to life and death, Miss Mu, don't worry too much."
"I'll write you a prescription when we get to the inn. You can follow my prescription and recover in half a year. I'll also give you a prescription for cold resistance. Go back and find an experienced doctor to make it for you. It will keep you from getting sick again until you're fully recovered." Mu Yao said confidently. This person's illness is much easier to cure than Wei Wushang's, and there's no need for any rare medicinal materials. All you need to do is take the medicine exactly as she wrote.
"Are you serious?" Shen Chutang suddenly became uneasy, and his voice became a little higher. He suppressed his hope, stared at Mu Yao with complicated eyes, and said uncertainly: "Divine Doctor Jian once took my pulse..."
Before he could finish, Mu Yao interrupted him, "Jian Xin, the genius doctor, right? Well, don't worry, I'm better than him. I can treat diseases that he can't. You helped me, so I don't need to be arrogant here." As a doctor, she hated patients questioning her medical skills. This was also the reason why she didn't use her medical skills to make a living when she first came to Yunqi. Who would believe an 18-year-old girl treating people!
It was so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard.
Mu Yao was not in a hurry and waited patiently for Shen Chutang to recover.
After about the time of six finger plucking, Shen Chutang's brows moved slightly, and he bloomed a brilliant smile. His extremely handsome face and noble demeanor that was not tainted by the worldly world shocked Mu Yao's heart and forced her to admit that the lethality of this silver-haired man was too strong. He was even more beautiful than that monster Han Qi.
