Chapter 122 Passing by
He also wanted to give it a try, but his master and Princess Lan Xin had feelings for each other, but he and Jiang Shuyu were different. There was a huge difference between them.
He had always understood that Jiang Shuyu's feelings for him were only those of a sister and a brother. If he told Jiang Shuyu the secret in his heart, it would be difficult for them to restore their past times. He was already very satisfied to be so close to her like now.
"What's the point of saying it or not? Rather than letting this relationship become a burden, it's better to maintain the status quo. Maybe we can still see her speak freely as friends from time to time. That wouldn't be bad either!"
"But if you don't tell her what you've done, how will she understand you? Even if you hang around her every day, she won't know your feelings. If you can't watch her get together with someone else in the future, then you can only endure the loneliness silently."
Xu Yiyuan looked at Xu Mufan and said with a look of regret that he had lost the chance to be with her forever because of just one step. Over the years, every time he thought about it, he felt heartbroken and regretted it. He often imagined that if he had been braver, he would be closer to happiness.
But he found that even if happiness was within reach, as long as he hesitated even a little, the happiness that belonged to him would pass by and he would never see a glimmer of hope again.
"If Master and Senior Sister hadn't brought me back, I'd probably still be wandering somewhere! This is a life-saving grace for me, so why should I be dissatisfied? Now that I can see her often, it's already great. It's getting late, I'm going to go collect the herbs. I'm sure they'll be useful for the free clinic in a few days!"
Xu Mufan knew his master's good intentions, but he really couldn't give her happiness now, so he naturally couldn't disrupt her life. He didn't want to continue discussing the matter with Xu Yiyuan at the moment, so he ran away immediately, not daring to look Xu Yiyuan in the eye, because he was also afraid that he would not be able to help but want to take action, even if it meant risking his own life.
Watching Xu Mufan leave in a hurry, Xu Yiyuan couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. You know, Xu Mufan is a stubborn person. Since he has made up his mind not to explain it clearly to Jiang Shuyu, he will naturally bury it in his heart. When the day comes when he realizes that happiness must be fought for by himself, he will probably understand his good intentions.
Xu Yiyuan reluctantly raised his head and took a sip. The spicy taste instantly filled his entire mouth, causing him to cough uncontrollably a few times. Looking at his increasingly depressed appearance, Xu Yiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Jiang Shuyu naturally knew nothing about the conversation between Xu Mufan and the others. She had already prepared the things and handed them to Jinyue.
"Switch the thing you gave to Ruogu. Then Xiao Jinrui won't suspect anything else."
"Yes, I'll be right there!" Jin Yue hurried forward to take it, and without further delay, she turned around and walked out.
Watching Jinyue leave, Jiang Shuyu immediately arranged for Yuqiu to prepare some more daily necessities. Since Xu Yiyuan was going to the free clinic, these were essential. After all, most of the people they met were from poor families. Now that she had the ability to help them, she was naturally willing to do her bit for them.
"Don't worry, young lady. I know you will be away with Doctor Xu for a while. I have already asked someone to prepare it. I am just waiting for them to be ready. I will send it to you after you have reviewed it. This way, you don't have to worry about it all the time." After coming out from Xu Yiyuan, Yu Qiu already knew about Jiang Shuyu's plan, and immediately asked someone to prepare for it in case of emergency.
Jiang Shuyu looked at Yuqiu and nodded with satisfaction: "I am naturally relieved by your work. You can go over and take a look later. If it is ready, just send it over directly. The weather is getting colder now, so it is a good time to send them some warm clothes so that they can spend the winter safely."
"Hey! Miss, you are so kind. I will go over and take a look!" Yu Qiu's eyes were full of smiles. She bowed and walked out.
Jiang Shuyu thought carefully and did not return to her room to rest until very late.
At this time, Hua Shu also came to the place where Xu Yiyuan often provided free medical treatment. Looking at the dilapidated state in front of her, Hua Shu's eyes were full of shock. It was really difficult for her to connect this place with the bustling place she had seen before.
If this place was like a paradise on earth when Jiang Lan was here, then looking at it now, it has become like a hell on earth, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing Hua Shu's devastated look, Hua Leshi's eyes flashed with worry. She hurried forward to support Hua Shu and asked cautiously:
"Master, why don't we go back first! This is really not a place to live!"
Hua Shu looked at the people around her who were looking at them with hostility, and her heart tightened. It was obvious that the Anle Village today was no longer what she remembered.
Seeing Hua Leshi's nervous expression, Hua Shu couldn't help but lower her eyes. As the saying goes, one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must always be on guard against others. She couldn't let her and her master be put in danger just because of their past harmony. After thinking it over, Hua Shu couldn't help but look at Hua Leshi and said, "Haven't you found a place? Take your master there to have a look!"
Hearing Hua Shu's words, Hua Leshi's eyes lit up. Knowing that her master was no longer insisting on settling here, she quickly agreed: "Hey! Okay, okay, Master, please follow me! It's not far from here, Master, you will definitely like it!"
Hua Shu looked at her happy expression and couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, but he didn't say much. Glancing at the ruins behind him, a trace of pain flashed in Hua Shu's eyes, and he followed Hua Leshi to the side. It seemed that she had to investigate carefully. How could this place, which should have been a place where people lived and worked in peace and contentment, become so desolate? Is there no one caring about it under the feet of the emperor?
The two of them came to a small courtyard. The tranquility here was in stark contrast to the noisy environment just now. Hua Leshi looked at Hua Shu's surprised expression and couldn't help but said, "Master, how is it? It's nice here, isn't it?"
Hua Shu was naturally familiar with this row of courtyards. After all, she had lived here when she was in Kyoto. Looking at the familiar scene in front of her, Hua Shu couldn't help but walk forward.
Seeing Hua Shu continue to walk forward, Hua Leshi hurriedly called out to her, "Hey! Master, the courtyards in front are all owned by others. I can't rent one there!"
