Chapter 210: Being Alone

"Do we have to stand and talk like this?" Wei Yan smiled and looked gentle: "There is a chair over there, let's sit down!"

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the window lattice and fell on his handsome face, as if emitting a layer of light and clear light.

Ling Jingshu couldn't help but smile and responded softly.

After the two of them sat down, they felt that it was not appropriate.

These two chairs were where Wei Yan and Ling Xiao had sat just now. In order to give Ling Xiao acupuncture, the chairs were also placed very close. When the two sat down like this, they were immediately "close at hand".

As soon as they raised their eyes, they could clearly see each other's faces and even hear each other's slight breathing.

Ling Jingshu felt a little uncomfortable. Before she could say anything, Wei Yan smiled apologetically: "Sitting like this, is it too close to make you feel uncomfortable? Otherwise, I will sit farther away?"

Although he said so, his body did not move, and his pair of black eyes stared at her steadily.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with her figure.

Ling Jingshu's cheeks were slightly hot, and she smiled calmly: "As long as there is no contact, there will be no hindrance. Am I not fine now? Besides, you are a doctor and I am your patient. You want to treat me, and it is already unfair to you that I cannot diagnose your pulse. Do I have to drive you away?"

I don't know which sentence hit Wei Yan's funny point, and Wei Yan couldn't help laughing.

Ling Jingshu didn't realize until this moment that there was a small dimple on Wei Yan's face.

Women with dimples look playful and cute, and the dimples on Wei Yan's face are not much less. When she laughed, the clean lines rose, and the faint dimples made people's heart beat faster.

Ling Jingshu slightly moved her eyes away, and the back of her ears was quietly hot.

Wei Yan keenly noticed that she was a little strange, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

He was moved by her, and naturally hoped that he was different in her heart.

She is now very averse to all contact with men. Even if she has some good feelings for him, they are very thin and far from being moved. However, he believes that one day, she will slowly accept that he likes him.

Just like he likes her!

After a moment of silence, Wei Yan suddenly whispered: "We are so familiar with each other, it is too strange to always call you Miss Ling. Can I call you Ah Shu?"

Ling Jingshu was startled and looked over.

Wei Yan slightly lowered his head and looked at her, his eyes were unusually focused.

Ling Jingshu suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and smiled and replied: "Okay, you can call me Ah Shu from now on. Then what about me, should I call you Wei Taiyi or Wei Yan?"

The last sentence was said quite playfully.

Wei Yan's eyes were full of smiles: "Call me Wei Taiyi in front of others. When it's just the two of us, you can just call me by my name Wei Yan."

Calling by name means that the relationship between the two has taken a big step closer.

Ling Jingshu hummed and looked at him. She couldn't say the word Wei Yan for a moment, so she simply omitted it vaguely: "By the way, there is something I haven't had time to tell you. A few days ago in Lingbo Palace, Concubine Wei saw me changing my dress when I came out of the Pepper Room Palace, so she asked the reason. I didn't hide it and told Concubine Jieyu that I had a strange disease."

When mentioning what happened that day, the smile on Wei Yan's face quietly disappeared: "I already know about this."

...

When he entered the palace the next day, Concubine Wei told him.

"...It's really pitiful that she has such a strange disease at such a young age." Concubine Wei sighed deeply, her tone full of regret: "Ayan, if possible in the future, you must cure her disease."

Wei Yan responded without thinking: "Even if the queen didn't tell me, I would do my best."

Concubine Wei hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Ayan, tell me the truth. Are you... attracted to her?"

Wei Yan glanced at Concubine Wei and said nothing, which was considered as tacit consent.

Concubine Wei felt happy and a little sad. She was happy that her brother, who had been aloof from women for so many years, finally fell in love, but she was sad that Ling Jingshu had such a disease, and Wei Yan was afraid that it would be difficult for him to achieve his wish.

After a moment of silence, Wei Jieyu sighed, "Ayan, you saw her illness with your own eyes. What should we do if her illness can't be cured?"

"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely cure her illness and let her recover as usual." Wei Yan said in a deep voice, his tone full of determination.

Wei Jieyu frowned: "What if it can't be cured?"

Nine out of ten things in the world are not as expected. What if Ling Jingshu's illness can't be cured, what should Wei Yan do?

Wei Yan said lightly: "If the heaven is blind, there is nothing I can do. I will just accompany her."

Wei Jieyu was speechless.

The two siblings grew up together, and no one knew Wei Yan's temperament better than her. Wei Yan seemed easy-going, but in fact he was stubborn. No one could persuade him to do something he had decided.

Over the years, she didn't know how many times she had persuaded him to marry and have children earlier. There were countless girls in the boudoir who loved him. He was always unmoved. Now that he has finally moved, how can she, as the eldest sister, bear to stop him?

"Forget it, do whatever you want, it's up to you!" Wei Jieyu sighed softly: "You are already an adult, and as your sister, I can't control you in everything."

...

Wei Yan's mind was full of thoughts, and his voice was a little lower: "I let you suffer in the Pepper Room that day."

The two recalled the scene at that time almost at the same time, and fell silent at the same time.

Ling Jingshu cheered up and squeezed out a nonchalant smile: "Only by doing so at that time could I dispel Empress Xu's suspicion and save my life. Compared with life, a little grievance is nothing. You don't have to blame yourself. Even if it weren't for you, Empress Xu would never let me go easily."

After a pause, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "In fact, I shouldn't have concealed it from the beginning. If everyone knew that I had such a strange disease, there wouldn't be so many troubles."

Wei Yan frowned: "How can you be blamed for this. You are still a girl in the boudoir, suffering from a strange disease, and it involves your reputation. It is normal to conceal something. Do you have to tell the world?"

"As for a man who loves you and causes trouble for you, it is not your fault. You don't have to blame all the reasons on yourself."

After hearing this, Ling Jingshu felt warm in her heart for a long time: "Wei Yan, thank you for saying so."

The world is very harsh on women. Even if she didn't intentionally attract these "peach blossoms", people around her would still look at her strangely.
