Ye Lingling's Lovestruck Foolishness

Ye Lingling remembered the first time she saw Yang Xiu. It had been a month ago.

As she passed through this street, she happened to see a man cleaning up the shop.

What kind of man was he?

He had short, medium-length white hair and a face so handsome it barely seemed human, especially those eyes.

They were like an extension of the sky—beautiful, noble!

And his temperament was so carefree, unlike any man she had ever met.

It was the first time Ye Lingling had felt her heart race for someone else, and that someone was a man.

After asking around and observing him for some time,

she learned that this man was called Yang Xiu and that he was also a doctor.

His medical skills were quite impressive, and he had treated many patients.

Not only were his medical skills outstanding, but he was also very powerful.

Ye Lingling had personally seen a group of Soul Masters in their thirties and forties causing trouble at the clinic, only for Yang Xiu to break their legs and throw them out.

He was about her age, knew medicine, was so strong, and most importantly, was this handsome!

Ye Lingling could be sure that she was a little moved.

That was right. Ye Lingling was also someone who cared about looks, and she naturally had a certain fondness for attractive peers.

Not to mention that this man was powerful as well.

So, to get closer to him, she used her identity as Nine-Star Begonia to strike up conversations with him about medicine.

Over time, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Still, what disappointed her a little was that ever since she had seen Yang Xiu take off his blindfold once, he seemed to have welded it onto his head.

Although Yang Xiu was still very handsome with the blindfold on,

she wanted to see those sky-like eyes one more time.

Yang Xiu walked over to the bookshelf and took down two books.

"Here. These are two medical books I wrote recently. Take a look yourself, and ask me if there's anything you don't understand."

After saying that, he lay back down in the rocking chair and resumed pretending to sleep.

"Hmph, sleep yourself to death! You unromantic man!"

Ye Lingling muttered under her breath. She had not come to see Yang Xiu so late at night to discuss medicine, but to deepen their relationship.

Yet this straight-laced man had simply tossed her two books and gone to sleep.

She wanted to see just what was so special about these two books.

She first opened the book titled Mystic Meridian Compendium.

To her surprise, two hours passed as soon as she began reading.

Everything written in this book astonished Ye Lingling.

The positions of the body's twelve meridians, the locations of the eight extraordinary meridians, and the locations of all kinds of acupoints.

It also explained how to use those extraordinary meridians to help others heal with less soul power.

Every part seemed unreasonable at first glance, yet upon closer thought, contained profound wisdom.

When Ye Lingling treated people in the past, she relied on brute force.

Using Nine-Heart Begonia, she would heal the person's entire body, and naturally, their injuries would recover.

But now, if she followed the contents of this book and gave targeted treatment to the extraordinary meridians,

she could save at least eighty or ninety percent of her soul power!

The more Ye Lingling read, the more rapid her breathing became.

If she could truly comprehend this medical book, it would be an enormous improvement for someone like her, who possessed the Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul!

However, there were still many parts of the book that Ye Lingling did not understand.

She needed Yang Xiu, the person who had written this book, to answer her questions before she could grasp them.

"Um, Brother Yang, could you explain the contents of this book to me?"

Just moments ago, she had thought there was nothing remarkable about this book. Now, she was asking Yang Xiu to teach her.

Even with Ye Lingling's cold and aloof personality, she could not help feeling embarrassed.

"I'll only explain it once. It's almost one in the morning. You may not need sleep, but I do."

Yang Xiu stood up and sat beside Ye Lingling.

Smelling the faint scent of lavender on the man beside her, Ye Lingling boldly said,

"Um, Brother Yang, could you take off your blindfold? That way, I can concentrate better."

Yang Xiu clicked his tongue.

Girl, you've fallen in love!

Ye Lingling had been this obvious. As someone experienced in romance in his past life, Yang Xiu naturally noticed it.

"Sigh, every time I take off my blindfold, people gather around to stare. Being too handsome is such a burden."

Yang Xiu gently removed the blindfold. His white hair, which had been pushed up by it, fell back down.

With a slight flick of his bangs, his sky-like eyes stared straight at the girl before him. (See the cover!)

Ye Lingling's breath caught as she blankly stared at the outrageously handsome young man before her.

Her heart began beating uncontrollably once more.

"What? Why is your face so red?"

Yang Xiu looked at the girl, who was practically steaming because he had leaned too close, with a mischievous grin.

Only then did Ye Lingling come back to her senses.

She truly felt that the instant Yang Xiu took off his blindfold, he was incredibly sexy...

(It was probably like how boys felt when watching girls slowly take off their stockings.)

Overwhelmed by embarrassment, Ye Lingling's voice became somewhat stammering. "W-Where am I red... Enough, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and teach me what these meridians are."

Yang Xiu chuckled and began explaining the insights behind the medical book he had written.

Ye Lingling forcibly pulled her gaze away from Yang Xiu's eyes and listened carefully to the young man's explanation.

Yet her eyes still occasionally drifted toward that face that made her heart race.

So, she secretly used the camera in the chat group to snap a candid photo of Yang Xiu's profile.

Yang Xiu noticed all of this, but seeing that Ye Lingling had only secretly taken one photo, he said nothing.

He continued quickly explaining the contents of the book, intending to dismiss this lovestruck girl as soon as possible so he could get to sleep.

With Yang Xiu's rapid explanation, the key points of the book were more or less covered.

As for how much Ye Lingling had actually taken in...

Looking at the girl, who had been staring motionlessly at him for the past thirty minutes... Yang Xiu felt rather helpless.

They always said he should not take off the blindfold. As a teacher, he had no sense of accomplishment at all.

"Miss Ye, I've explained pretty much everything. It's late, and I need to sleep. Take the book and read it yourself!"

Yang Xiu casually stuffed the book into Ye Lingling's arms.

Then he pushed her out the door by the back.

Ye Lingling was dazedly pushed to the doorway before she remembered that she had wanted to ask Yang Xiu some questions about the medical book.

How had she ended up only looking at that handsome face?!

Ye Lingling, you really are letting toys distract you from your ambitions. Have you forgotten? Improving your medical skills is your lifelong dream. How can you stop moving forward just because of a man's looks?!

Ye Lingling silently berated herself.

It was truly very late now. Though reluctant, she knew it was time to leave.

But before she left, she took one more photo of Yang Xiu from the front, then departed the clinic in satisfaction.

"Damn! It's already two. I can only sleep for eight hours..."

Yang Xiu shut the door, then lay back down in the rocking chair and fell into a deep sleep.
