The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Was it really just his own illusion? Cheng Ze couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He subconsciously reached out and scratched his head, with an apologetic smile on his face.

"I'm so sorry, it seems I misunderstood!"

In fact, at the beginning, Cheng Ze was planning to match these two people up and make them a couple.

Fortunately, he was smart enough to ask that question, otherwise things would have become even more embarrassing.

"That's right. Our little girl wasn't very popular either. It's impossible for everyone to like her."

Cheng Ze muttered quietly while secretly glancing at Lu Shi and Shen Yusang who were sitting beside him in silence.

The room was silent at this moment, and only Cheng Ze's voice could be heard echoing in the air.

The two parties involved seemed to be under a mute spell and did not utter a word from beginning to end.

Although on the surface the atmosphere between Lu Shi and Shen Yusang seemed quite distant, for some reason, Cheng Ze always felt that there was a strange atmosphere lingering around them.

Cheng Ze felt like he couldn't fit in.

Looking at the two silent people in front of him, Cheng Ze curled his lips helplessly and complained in his heart: "What's wrong with these two guys? They are both like dumb!"

In the end, Cheng Ze felt it was really boring, so he turned around and left Lu Shi's room.

As the door closed gently with a soft "click", the whole room instantly fell into silence.

At this moment, only Lu Shi and Shen Yusang were sitting here quietly, and still no one broke the depressing silence.

Shen Yusang held the medical book tightly in his hand, but his eyes did not fall on the pages. As for what was written in the book, he did not read it at all.

His heartbeat was easily provoked by the two words "Lu Shi". The huge impact sound hit his eardrums, and the heat surged to his brain, and his mind suddenly became chaotic.

Although he had already made up his mind to let her go completely, as soon as he heard something related to her, his heart, which he thought had calmed down, would still be involuntarily moved.

Those memories, those emotions, like invisible threads, tightly entangled his thoughts, and no matter how he struggled, he could not break free.

These facts troubled him greatly.

But he thinks this is normal.

Don’t people who have been heartbroken need time to get over it?

So, let time be the best medicine to heal everything.

With the strong support and help of the Duke of Zhenguo, he successfully opened a large-scale medical clinic.

This clinic not only covers a large area, but every detail of its interior decoration is just right.

The clinic is divided into two parts: the outer room and the inner room. The outer room is used for dispensing medicines, with a wide variety of medicinal materials neatly arranged; the inner room is for patients to see a doctor and receive consultations.

And in the deepest part of the clinic, there is a room specially reserved for him to rest.

Because of Doctor Bai's reputation, many people came to his clinic as soon as it opened.

When cutting the ribbon, the wife and husband of the Duke of Zhenguo also came to support him, and even the honorable Queen sent a gift.

Just as Shen Yusang was standing on the stage giving his speech, his eyes inadvertently swept across the second floor of the tavern not far away.

A familiar figure is sitting quietly in a wheelchair, watching this side silently.

He only took a glance and then looked away.

Ignoring his suddenly accelerated heartbeat, he finished his final remarks with a smile and lit a string of firecrackers himself.

In the early days of the clinic's opening, some people would question the authenticity of his identity, after all, no one had ever seen Doctor Bai's appearance.

Some people may have innate prejudices against him because he is a man, and believe that men cannot accomplish great things.

Some people even deliberately came to tease him because he was a man, and hurled all kinds of dirty words at him without asking for anything in return.

However, these people would be instantly impressed after witnessing his superb medical skills and the guards who were highly skilled in martial arts around him.

Because of his relationship with the Queen when he opened his clinic, his clinic was not maliciously targeted by others and successfully survived the dangerous period of its opening.

It is also because of this relationship that many dignitaries come to seek medical treatment and medicine.

His reputation as Doctor Bai became more and more famous, and his clinic became more and more well-known.

It took Shen Yusang less than five months to accomplish all this.

Of course, when he opened his clinic, he did not forget the contract he signed with Lu Shi.

As usual, he would go to Lu Shi's room after lunch and read for an hour before leaving.

This day was just like any other.

But when he entered Lu Shi's room, Lu Shi was not taking a medicinal bath as before, but sitting quietly at the table, as if waiting for his arrival.

Shen Yusang involuntarily raised his hand and gently stroked his seemingly calm chest.

I don’t know when it started, but this heart that was once restless because of Lu Shi now seems to have calmed down and no longer easily ripples.

He walked slowly and finally chose to sit at the place farthest away from Lu Shi.

"You are so far away from me, will I eat people?" Lu Shi's voice sounded with a hint of ridicule.

Shen Yusang's heart skipped a beat and his breathing stopped for a moment.

It seemed like he hadn't heard Lu Shi's voice for a long time.

Although they were alone for half an hour every day, they both tacitly kept silent.

Sometimes Cheng Ze would be there, but it was always him and Shen Yusang who were talking, and Lu Shi would occasionally utter a short interjection to express his agreement.

At this moment, that once extremely familiar voice echoed in his ears again, and Shen Yusang could hardly control his body's instinctive reaction.

Fortunately, this reaction is no longer as strong as before, as if vaguely telling him that his time therapy is very effective.

"It's not appropriate for a single man and a single woman to get too close." Shen Yusang responded indifferently.

"That's true." Lu Shi raised a smile at the corner of his lips and agreed slowly.

He pays so much attention to even such tiny details. I don’t know if he really doesn’t care and wants to keep a distance, or if it’s just an illusion to deceive himself.

Of course, this is not what Lu Shi wants to talk about today.

She slowly took out a contract from her bosom.

"Do you remember the contract you signed with the prince? Today is the last day."

"You don't need to come here in the future. I know you don't want to have anything to do with me."

"That's it."

Lu Shi took back the contract and ordered them to leave.

Shen Yusang didn't know how he walked out of Lu Shi's room. When he came to his senses, he found himself standing alone in a yard.

This was his room in Prince An's Mansion, but he had never been here since he moved out.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to come here in the future.

He suddenly wanted to go in and take a look.

He slowly pushed open the door that had been sealed for a long time. Unlike the dusty door he had imagined, the inside was clean and tidy, as if someone had cleaned it specially.

The furnishings were exactly the same as before he left, and still not the style he liked.

He didn't know what he was nostalgic for...

He lowered his head, and his thick eyelashes cast a shadow on his face.

A dark shadow suddenly appeared under my feet.

He looked up and smiled.

"It's you, An Qi."

"Is there a problem?"

An Qi twirled his fingers nervously, "Today is my last day protecting you, so I want to say goodbye."

Shen Yusang still had a faint smile on his face. "Yes, I know. Thank you for your hard work during this period."

His voice was gentle yet with a subtle hint of distance.

An Qi, who was standing aside, slowly shook his head and looked at Shen Yusang sincerely, "Actually, I'm quite happy during this time with you, young master."

Hearing this, Shen Yusang nodded slightly, "I'm very happy too."

Afterwards, An Qi looked around the room, a look of regret on his face. "This room was specially prepared by the prince for the young master, but who would have thought that the young master would only live here for one day before hastily moving out."

"Specially prepared for me? It's a pity she still doesn't understand me. This is not what I like."

When Shen Yusang heard this, he simply turned his head away, his eyes remaining calm.

An Qi was helpless and could only echo the sentiment, saying, "It seems that one has to please others in everything."

"The prince saw that you liked to eat peach blossom cakes, so he guessed that you liked peach blossoms, so he left the only room in the mansion with peach blossoms for you."

"I never thought it would not suit your wishes."

At this moment, Shen Yusang seemed to be touched by An Qi's words, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the peach tree outside the window.

At this moment, the best time to appreciate peach blossoms has passed, and all that comes into view is the tree's emerald green branches and leaves swaying gently in the breeze.
