Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

Chapter 228 Can't Tell

The lights in Bubu House were bright, forming a sharp contrast with the wind and snow outside. The house was warm like spring, and the air was filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

The waiter sat behind the counter, bored, looking at the herbs on the counter and fiddling with them. After a while, he seemed to feel bored and couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah~ I don't know why Doctor Baizhu insisted on being on duty."

Then I looked outside the window and saw heavy snow falling, casting a vast expanse of white.

"It's so cold, how could anyone come to see a doctor in the middle of the night?" the waiter complained.

suddenly

There was a loud "bang!"

The door of the clinic was suddenly pushed open, and in an instant, flying snow came in with the howling wind. The cold wind carried the snowflakes in with it.

The sudden noise startled the waiter so much that he fell off his chair. He quickly put his hands on the counter and managed to stand up again.

The guy was shocked to see a man covered in snow walking in. His movements left some snowflakes on the ground.

The guy then reacted and shouted, "Who are you? Don't you know you have to knock on the door?!"

Su Mo was slightly stunned, as if he was confused by this sudden rebuke. Realizing his own gaffe, he quickly apologized: "Sorry, little brother, it's really urgent."

Hearing this, the waiter's expression improved a little, but he was still unhappy: "I see you look like you have something urgent to do, otherwise why would you come to the clinic in such heavy snow?"

Su Mo chuckled, then thought of something and said urgently, "Brother, is Doctor Bai Zhu here? My friend has a high fever. Let him take a look."

The man's face darkened upon hearing this. He looked towards Su Mo and realized there was another person beneath the snow. He quickly stepped forward to check and saw that she was indeed suffering from a persistent high fever. He immediately said, "Come with me and get her settled down first."

Seeing this, Su Mo hurriedly followed the waiter into the ward. Su Mo took off the cloak on his back and threw it on the ground casually. He slowly placed Yun Jin on the bed and then covered her with a quilt.

"Wait here first. I'll go call Doctor Baizhu."

Su Mo nodded: "Okay, thank you."

The guy nodded and turned to leave.

Su Mo picked up the cloak on the ground and shook off the snow on it. Snowflakes fell down, turned into water droplets on the ground, and quickly disappeared.

Looking at Yun Jin's red face, Su Mo couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

After a while, there was a noise outside the door.

Su Mo turned his head and saw a man wearing glasses looking at him.

Seeing this, Su Mo took the initiative to greet him, "Doctor Bai Zhu, you are finally here. My friend has a high fever that won't go away. Please come and take a look."

Bai Zhu was slightly stunned when he saw Su Mo. After hearing his words, he walked straight to the bed without saying much. Seeing this, Su Mo took a step back to make space for Bai Zhu so that he could better observe the patient's condition.

After seeing the person lying on the bed clearly, Bai Zhu couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Yun Jin?" He subconsciously looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo nodded: "Yun Jin is sick. I have given her fever-reducing medicine, but for some reason her high fever has not subsided."

Hearing this, Bai Zhu couldn't help but look at Su Mo teasingly.

Then, without saying anything, he placed his hand on Yun Jin's wrist. After a moment, the Divine Eye on Bai Zhu's waist lit up with an emerald green light. His hand turned into starlight, sank into Yun Jin's body, and began to explore Yun Jin's condition.

After a moment, Bai Zhu opened his eyes and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Su Mo hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

Bai Zhu smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just a fever caused by overwork and a cold. I've already treated her. I'll prescribe some medicine and she'll be fine after a few days of recuperation."

Su Mo felt a little relieved after hearing this, but looking at Yun Jin's still rosy face, he was still a little worried: "Bai Zhu, since you said she's fine, why does she still look like this?"

Logically speaking, Bai Zhu's elemental power has a healing effect, and he himself said that he was fine, but Yun Jin's complexion did not look any better. This made Su Mo feel puzzled.

Hearing this, Bai Zhu glanced at Yun Jin and explained, "You don't know that illness resides deep within the human body. Symptoms only manifest externally when they become apparent internally. Although Yun Jin doesn't appear to be getting any better and her complexion remains the same, her condition is actually improving internally. As for the complexion issue you mentioned, it will be fine after a while."

Su Mo asked again: "Oh, by the way, Bai Zhu, before coming here, I gave Yun Jin some antipyretics, but for some reason her high fever just won't go away. What's going on?"

Bai Zhu smiled faintly. "Yun Jin possesses the Divine Eye. While possessors of the Divine Eye possess a much stronger constitution than ordinary people, they are still human after all. They don't usually get sick. Once they do, it's like a thunderbolt from heaven igniting a blaze from the earth, bringing all previous hidden dangers to the surface. That's why she has a persistent high fever. It's like a thousand-mile dam breached by an ant hole. Each time the symptoms are relatively minor, there are no obvious signs, but once they reach a certain level, they become uncontrollable. Fortunately, she was brought in on time. I've already treated her, and the rest is up to her."

"Yeah. Thank you."

"What's there to thank me for? This is my job. Just remember to pay." Bai Zhu answered easily while tidying up the medicine box in his hand.

"Yes, don't worry, the medical expenses will not be reduced by a penny." Su Mo promised.

"Okay, but speaking of this, I'm a little curious." Bai Zhu suddenly said.

Su Mo looked confused, not knowing what Bai Zhu was going to say.

"Is Tianshuxing bringing a girl to see a doctor again? How many days will she need to be taken care of this time?" Bai Zhu said jokingly.

Hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Su Mo's face.

"This is purely coincidental."

Bai Zhu smiled and said nothing, but gave Su Mo a look that said "I understand" and then walked out, leaving Su Mo alone in the ward with Yun Jin.

Su Mo looked at Yun Jin lying on the bed and couldn't help but sigh.

What is this thing called?

This girl was obviously not feeling well, but she was still waiting for him outside in the heavy snow.

"Hey, Su Mo, tell me about this...tsk tsk tsk..."

Hearing this, Su Mo smiled helplessly: "Aunt, just say whatever you want to say. Why are you being so sarcastic?"

Zhen laughed and said, "I'm not saying anything, but this should be your second time here to take care of patients. And they're all girls, you're so lucky."

"There's nothing I can do. Last time, I was invited over. This time, even though I came on my own, I can't just sit there and watch Yun Jin get sick. Let's wait until tomorrow and notify Yun Jin's family to come and take care of her."

Hearing this, Zhen nodded as if it was a matter of fact. "Hmm... I think that girls, when they're sick, or when they're feeling the most insecure, tend to have a special fondness for the people who appear by their side. Aren't you embarrassed by Keqing's problem? Then take this opportunity to take this girl down, and then... hehehe... wouldn't that be a perfect solution?"

Su Mo righteously refused, "No, you're just taking advantage of someone's misfortune. I despise you!"

I was really a little disdainful: "My kindness is taken for granted. I'm giving you advice and you're still blaming me. And why do you still need dignity to find a partner? If you have dignity, you can find a partner? Besides, she's also interested, I'm just going along with it."

Su Mo was unhappy: "Hey, I said, you said it's okay with me, but can you please stop slandering me? When did I say I liked me?"

"Tsk, didn't she just say that? I like...oh no, I love you. Otherwise, why would she be waiting for you outside the door in the heavy snow? She can't be free, right?"

"Oh, my aunt, I was talking nonsense just now. Didn't you see that she could see snow as white petals? She also saw her dead...deceased mother. She was so sick, how could we believe what she said? As for what you said about waiting for me, didn't I go to find Zhang Yan in the snow? Does that mean I like Zhang Yan too?" Su Mo asked back.

"Hmph, I won't tell you anymore. You're just lying to yourself. Sometimes when people are unconscious, what they say is often true."

Su Mo raised his eyebrows: "Oh, so according to what you said, she loves me. Then can you tell the difference between liking and loving?"

Zhen was silent for a moment, then responded somewhat awkwardly.

“…I can’t tell.”

Like and love?

Are you kidding? She has been single for thousands of years and has never been in a relationship. How could she possibly tell the difference?

Su Mo spread his hands and said, "That's it."

"Then can you tell the difference?" Zhen asked back, seeming a little unconvinced.

Su Mo looked at Yun Jin's peaceful face, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "I can't tell either."

"Then you're still talking about me!?"

Su Mo smiled lightly: "Then there is nothing to say."

"hehe"
