I am practicing in a weird world

　"The lady in this painting has a name. It's a painting that can speak." Qin Shuyan said.

　Xiao Yi stared at the painting in front of her again. It was just a painting in front of her, and she didn't see her speak.

　He turned to look at Qin Shuyan, puzzled, "Are you talking about metaphors? This painting is very real. It looks like it can speak, or something like that."

　"It's not a metaphor, she can really speak, but she can't speak now. It's later, when you recall, that you will notice she is speaking. However, if she is not interested, she won't speak." Qin Shuyan said.

　"Then what is she interested in?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"Memories. If you share your memories with her, she might speak." Qin Shuyan said.

　"Are you teasing me? Do you want to see me laugh?" Xiao Yi asked.

　He imagined the scene, a person muttering to himself in front of a painting. It was quite funny. If Xia He saw this scene, she would definitely laugh out loud. Not only would she laugh, she would also keep this scene in her memory and talk about it from time to time.

　"I'm serious, not joking." Qin Shuyan looked serious.

　"What's the name of the person who painted this?"

　Xiao Yi changed the topic to other aspects.

　He remembered that Qin Shuyan had just said that the characters in this painting had names.

　Qin Shuyan's face showed a thoughtful look. After a while, she said, "I feel it's not good for me to tell you without your permission. You can ask her yourself."

　"It always feels weird to talk to a painting. What if people think I'm crazy?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"Then let others think you are crazy." Qin Shuyan said.

　After she finished speaking, she looked at the painting and began to talk to it, talking about how her painting had been sold.

　Xiao Yi listened to Qin Shuyan's words and could hear that Qin Shuyan's words were full of happiness.

　He looked at Qin Shuyan's expression, which was full of seriousness, as if he was talking to a real person.

　Could it be that Qin Shuyan is not teasing me, and what she said is true?

　A look of confusion appeared on Xiao Yi's face.

　When he first heard that the paintings could talk, he felt that Qin Shuyan was teasing him to embarrass him.

　But now seeing Qin Shuyan speaking so seriously, it didn't seem like she was teasing him.

　Regardless of whether she was teasing me or not, Qin Shuyan was quite thick-skinned. In some ways, she was even thicker-skinned than I was.

　I am not afraid of danger, but I still care about people's eyes. Qin Shuyan does not have such concerns. She can talk to the portrait openly.

　Admiration welled up in Xiao Yi's eyes.

　After a while, Qin Shuyan finished her story.

　She asked Xiao Yi, "Would you like to share your memories with this woman?"

　"No." Xiao Yi said.

　"Then let's go look at other paintings?" Qin Shuyan asked.

　Xiao Yi looked into the depths of the gallery, where there were several paintings.

　He said, "Let's go and see what other paintings there are. Honestly, the paintings here are quite amazing."

　After saying this, he walked towards the next painting location.

　Qin Shuyan followed and stood beside Xiao Yi with a smile on her face.

　"Have you thought of anything happy?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"Yeah," Qin Shuyan nodded.

　"What happy things did you think of?" Xiao Yi asked.

　Qin Shuyan smiled and didn't answer.

　Xiao Yi did not ask any further questions. He turned to look at the paintings around him.

　Qin Shuyan looked at Xiao Yi's face.

　It seems that this is also good.

　This thought suddenly came to her mind.

　The two continued walking forward and soon arrived in front of the next painting.

　The painting is titled: Theresa and Christopher.

　Xiao Yi looked at the painting.

　The painting depicts two people, a man and a woman. The man is wearing a classic suit and looks very handsome. The woman is wearing a white long dress and a monocle, looking intellectual and beautiful.

　The two of them sat on the grass, with a lot of books scattered around them. The woman sat on the man's lap, hugged his neck with her hands, and had a sweet expression.

　Just by looking at this painting, Xiao Yi felt the sweetness and beauty almost overflowing from the painting.

　"They must cherish each other very much." Xiao Yi said.

　"Yeah." Qin Shuyan nodded in agreement.

　She suddenly said, "This feeling is like a dream."

　"Are you talking about the atmosphere that emerges from the painting?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"No, we are talking about now."

　Qin Shuyan continued, "Just now you asked me what happy things I thought of, and I thought of the time we spent in the dream."

　Xiao Yi recalled every detail of his time in the Peacock Gate. He said, "Because I am myself. Whether it's the me in the dream or the me in reality, we are the same person. You and I being together is of course the same as in the dream."

　Qin Shuyan said: "This feeling is very comfortable, free and unrestrained. We can chat freely together, walk around freely together, and enjoy happiness together."

　"If you like, we can go for a walk together often in the future," Xiao Yi said.

　Qin Shuyan suddenly asked, "Do you want to continue what happened in the dream?"

　"What happened in the dream?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"Something exciting."

　After Qin Shuyan finished speaking, she clasped her arms and entered Xiao Yi's arms.

　At this moment, Xiao Yi instantly thought of what happened in the dream, which was what happened in the car, and only that thing could be considered exciting.

　He raised his head slightly and looked around.

　All I could see was dim lights. Here, there were only lights where the paintings were. The roads were illuminated by the pitiful light from the paintings. As long as I left the range of the paintings a little, it was like entering darkness and I couldn't see clearly at all.

　The second floor is different from the first. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because the paintings here are not for sale, or because the paintings here reveal a weirdness, or because the weird movement patterns are rigid, or because there are so few humans. Looking around, I didn’t see any other people.

　"Have you prepared a spare skirt?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile.

　"Don't say embarrassing things."

　Qin Shuyan's cheeks instantly turned red. She moved slightly and brought Xiao Yi to a dark place.

　The undead's body was cold, but her eyes revealed a heat, the heat of desire.

　……

　Come out of the gallery.

　Qin Shuyan looked a little restrained. She looked at the people coming and going on the street from time to time and took careful steps.

　Inside the exhibition, the chain of her bag was not zipped up, but now the zipper of her handbag is zipped up.

　"You are wearing a long skirt, so you won't be discovered." Xiao Yi said.

　"It's not because of you."

　Qin Shuyan glared at Xiao Yi.

　"We can go to the clothing store to buy clothes." Xiao Yi said.

　"No rush, there is a nice couple's hotel here, let's go there and have some fun." Qin Shuyan said.

　"Are we still going to a couple's hotel?" Xiao Yi looked surprised.

　"Of course, a gallery is a gallery, and a love hotel is a love hotel. In a gallery, you're looking for excitement and a heart-pounding feeling, while in a love hotel, you're looking for warmth and a cozy experience. The atmosphere is different. Life is about enjoying different things."

　Qin Shuyan's face was full of seriousness.

　……

　At noon the next day, Xiao Yi returned to the Buxiu Holy Church Hospital.

　As he pushed open the door of his clinic, Xiao Yi's face immediately showed a look of surprise.

　He saw someone who surprised him.

　Thank you @古明地しずく for your monthly ticket.

　Volume 1: Chapter 637 Memories

　She was a girl in a long black dress, and it was Lin Lingniao.

　Lin Lingniao sat on his chair, his whole body leaning on the table, his expression revealing boredom.

　She heard the sound of the door opening, looked up at the door, and when she saw Xiao Yi, her eyes instantly lit up.

　Xiao Yi asked doubtfully, "What are you doing?"

　"Waiting for your return."

　Lin Lingniao stood up, walked quickly to Xiao Yi, and said dissatisfiedly: "You haven't come back all day, I'm so bored, what have you been doing?"

　"I accompanied a friend to an art exhibition." Xiao Yi said.

　"Woman?" Lin Lingniao asked.

　"To be precise, it's not human." Xiao Yi said.

　"You have quite a wide range of friends, even non-human ones."

　Lin Lingniao's eyes widened slightly, and surprise appeared on his face.

　"Isn't this a very normal thing?"

　Xiao Yi smiled and continued, "After get off work, I'll accompany you wherever you want to go."

　"Anywhere is fine, as long as you are here."

　A smile appeared on Lin Lingniao's face.

　"Doctor Xiao, this is an appointment."

　A voice came from the door, it was the nurse's voice.

　Liu Banmei walked into the clinic with a stack of papers in her hand and handed them out.

　Xiao Yi took the paper, which contained all the details of the surgeries. Some were scheduled the day before yesterday, and some were scheduled today.

　He read through all the papers, picked out the one that looked like the patient in the most critical condition, and put the rest back on the table.

　"I'm going to work. I'll find you after get off work."

　He said something to Lin Lingniao and left the clinic.

　"Xiao Yi is really busy." Lin Lingniao said.

　"Xiao Yi is very reliable. With him around, many dangers are no longer dangerous. He is one of the most popular doctors."

　Liu Banmei's tone was full of admiration.

　"When Xiao Yi is not around, can't you still deal with various dangers?" Lin Lingniao asked.

　"Although doctors and nurses have certain combat capabilities, and our hospital also cooperates with other organizations and can spend a certain amount of money to ask others for help, none of these are as convenient as Dr. Xiao. Dr. Xiao is the doctor here, and it is very convenient to ask him for help. Since Dr. Xiao joined the hospital, the probability of accidents has been reduced a lot." Liu Banmei said.

　"Don't doctors and nurses have a certain level of combat power? We can also spend money to invite people from other organizations to come over. Why does it sound like they often have problems?"

　A look of confusion appeared on Lin Lingniao's face.

　"Many doctors and nurses are not very capable in combat and cannot afford external assistance. After all, we are doctors and nurses, not professionals who excel at combat. Moreover, the salaries of low-level doctors and nurses are not very high, so they live on very tight budgets."

　Liu Banmei smiled wryly and continued, "Sometimes time doesn't allow it. This isn't the real world after all. Although there is cooperation, it's a commission-based collaboration. We have to issue a commission here, and then they'll send someone over when they're free. Sometimes, patients can't wait."

　……

　After get off work in the evening, Xiao Yi accompanied Lin Lingniao for a ride.

　In the morning, when the sun was shining, Xiao Yi opened his eyes.
