Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1760 - 1761: Don’t Mind Switching Dads

Suddenly.

A gentle force enveloped her slender waist, accompanied by a faint scent of tobacco and a man’s cursing voice: "Ye Xiaoying, I’ve had enough of you, what kind of tricks are you playing now?"

It’s Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s head was hurting!

In order to keep Ye Xiaoying from getting hurt, even though she was clearly out of control, Ye Xuan resolutely chose self-sacrifice.

In the end, this girl, at the critical moment, had a mental block and stubbornly decided to pull off a suicide stunt.

Why though?

Ye Xuan didn’t have time to think about it.

In any case, after going around in circles, he ended up using Qigong.

Sure, Qigong was terrifyingly formidable, but compared to a real sword strike, the damage caused by Qigong was simply trivial!

Finally, Ye Xuan landed on the ground holding Ye Xiaoying.

"Ah!"

Ye Xiaoying was about to say something when she felt a surge of blood in her body, and a mouthful of fresh blood burst from her lips.

Everything happened in an instant.

In less than a second, if Ye Xiaoying had reacted a bit slower, Ye Xuan would have gotten hurt.

If Ye Xuan had reacted a bit slower, Ye Xiaoying’s injury would definitely be more than just spitting blood.

Watching Ye Xiaoying bend over and vomit blood, Ye Xuan felt a pang of pity, but he said nothing. He could only gently pat her back to help her catch her breath.

Ye Xiaoying gasped a few times, her face noticeably paler, but also much more relaxed.

She sturdily stood up straight, clenching her teeth and looking at Ye Xuan: "Why didn’t you fight back?"

Ye Xuan looked puzzled: "What do you mean, not fight back?"

Ye Xiaoying: "That sword strike just now, why didn’t you fight back?"

Ye Xuan thought for a moment: "You’re too skilled, I just didn’t react."

Ye Xiaoying: "..."

This wasn’t the answer she wanted, but it was the one she got.

Illogical, unreasonable.

Didn’t react?

Only a child would believe that!

With her skills, how could Ye Xiaoying possibly catch Ye Xuan off guard? If that were possible, Ye Xiaoying wouldn’t dare to go all out!

But since Ye Xuan wouldn’t tell the truth, how could Ye Xiaoying know what’s in his heart?

Not wanting to hurt her, he must be considering the sentiments of an old classmate. Or maybe he thinks she’d gone too far, and a man shouldn’t fight an unruly woman...

Ye Xiaoying snapped back to reality, sighed faintly: "You won; you always lost before, but today you finally won once."

"I said today, I was going to win against you once."

Ye Xuan shrugged and smiled: "But next time, let’s not play these adult games, fireworks are much more fun than this."

"There won’t be a next time." Ye Xiaoying lowered her beautiful eyes.

She would never duel with Ye Xuan again, nor would she play fireworks or throw snowballs with him. Everything had become the past; no matter how much they played, they wouldn’t regain that old feeling.

Ye Xuan bowed his head and gazed at Ye Xiaoying, his sword-shaped eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Ye Xiaoying seemed to sense Ye Xuan’s gaze, felt a bit flustered, and turned to go back inside: "I want to rest for a while, you can go."

"Wait." Ye Xuan suddenly called out.

Ye Xiaoying paused, without turning her head: "What else is there?"

Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, walked a few steps to stand in front of Ye Xiaoying, with a gentle smile, lifted his hand to wipe away the blood stains left at her lips.

Ye Xiaoying stood frozen, staring blankly at Ye Xuan, suddenly feeling dreamy.

She had never seen Ye Xuan so gentle!

Ye Xuan also gazed at Ye Xiaoying.

Their eyes met, with hidden sparks.

As if, the surrounding scenery silently transformed into the icy world of their past.

Standing opposite her was the sickly little beggar.

Standing in front of him was the bossy, messy little snot girl.

Everything feels like it just happened yesterday, familiar yet somewhat distant...

Ye Xiaoying blinked her beautiful eyes, finally snapping back to reality, realizing the man in front of her was no longer the little beggar of the past.

Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly, his gaze seductive yet serious as he looked at Ye Xiaoying, deeply voicing: "Ye Xiaoying, be honest, have you... fallen in love with me?"

Ye Xiaoying’s heart skipped a beat, in that moment, she stopped breathing.

Love?

She wanted to laugh.

From the moment I knew what love was, I’ve already fallen for you, right?

Back when you said if I grew up not being a snot girl, you’d reluctantly marry me, I was determined to marry you, right?

You’re asking, have I fallen in love with you?

No, I haven’t fallen in love with you, it’s just... that I’ve never not loved you!

"No."

Ye Xiaoying replied truthfully: "I haven’t fallen in love with you."

Ye Xuan furrowed his brow, feeling as if his heart had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Ye Xiaoying smiled lightly, lifting her foot to walk back into the house.

She knew, Ye Xuan had noticed her recent unusual behavior, and the only reason he asked was to take responsibility.

If she admitted her inner feelings, he wouldn’t hesitate.

But...

That kind of binding love wasn’t what Ye Xiaoying wanted.

If her love for him made him feel uncomfortable, it would be better hidden forever in her heart, eventually buried with her in the ground.

Time flies.

In just a few days, it seemed to vanish.

Today is Chinese New Year’s Eve.

The last day of the year, also the busiest and most festive day.

On this day, young folks working hard away from home flock back, spending the money and sweat they’ve saved throughout the year.

The city was brightly lit and bustling.

Sounds of fireworks could be heard everywhere, with each household full to the brim, single elders urging marriage on older singles, young kids starting to ask for lucky money.

All was merry!

Where there’s laughter, there’s crying; where there’s joy, there’s sorrow.

New Year is no exception.

For instance, Lao Zhang’s daughter is young yet successful, driving a luxury car back to town, attracting all attention, showered with praises.

But old Li’s son next door to Lao Zhang, accomplished nothing, compared to peers, he’s belittled by parents, can only hide away, unable to face others.

Comparison seems to be a custom.

But luckily, the Ye Family didn’t have such issues.

The entire family gathered in this luxurious yet low-key villa, filled with laughter, little Yun Duo collecting money happily, those giving lucky money were also delighted.

Of course, Ye Xuan was an exception, given his notorious stinginess...

After giving one hundred bucks to little Yun Duo as lucky money, Ye Xuan almost shed tears, immediately running over to Lin Tong: "Honey, the lucky money I gave little Yun Duo, can it be reimbursed?"

"If you don’t mind her having a different dad, I can reimburse you." Lin Tong replied nonchalantly.

Ye Xuan’s eyes shrank, instantly squashing the idea, gloomily going off to do chores.
