Chapter 278: Chapter 216: Is Uncle Qiaozi a trouble? (Second update)_1

Looking at Xu Yibai, Yan Zilei said sidelong, "Perhaps you’re right." If he was indeed the strange-tempered little divine doctor from the rumors, it must be so.

Yan Zilei didn’t realize that the reason he protected Ya Yan so well was a double-edged sword. While her innocence brought danger, her kindness provided an opportunity for escape. One of the main reasons Mu Lin saved her was that Yan Zilei protected Ya Yan too well. However, another reason was that some people dared to covet her.

If she hadn’t fought back, she wouldn’t have been true to herself. If it wasn’t for not wanting to be overly cruel in front of others, she wouldn’t have let those people off so easily that day.

Mu Lin didn’t know that the same people were now in Ming City, completely unaware of their impending doom.

But Yan Zilei was certainly not a good person.

At such a dangerous time, Ya Yan’s first reaction was to let Mu Lin leave without hesitation. If it were someone else, say, her so-called friend, they certainly wouldn’t be so kind-hearted to pull Mu Lin down with them. Even if Mu Lin saved her, she would not be grateful.

However, if she was there that day, Mu Lin would have undoubtedly left without hesitation. After all, she is not a good person.

So it was simply a coincidence that Ya Yan encountered Mu Lin.

Mu Lin... was willful, going with the flow.

...

"Anyway, congratulations." said Yan Zilei. To be honest, he never thought Xu Yibai would be able to recover one day. That was quite a surprise for him, as friends are hard to find.

Xu Yibai slightly chuckled, paused, and then suddenly asked, "You said Mu Lin saved Ya Yan. When was it?" He remembered that after the last treatment at the auction, he never saw Mu Lin again. He heard that she had joined the military, which was what the nurse by her side at the time told him.

"About five or six days ago." He remembered that, until now, his precious Yanyan was still constantly thinking about the little divine doctor, Mu Lin. To be honest, he was really relieved that Mu Lin was a woman, otherwise... seeing Yanyan so devoted to her, he didn’t know if he would make a move on her.

Yan Zilei was comfortable with Ya Yan’s engagement to Du Hongyu because he was completely sure that Ya Yan would never fall in love with him or have any intimate relationship with him. But it was a different story with Mu Lin.

It seems that heroes who save damsels in distress, whether in ancient times or modern days, can always capture people’s hearts.

"What, are you looking for her?" Upon hearing Xu Yibai’s words, Yan Zilei raised his brows, "This is the first time I’ve heard you inquire about a woman." His lips curled into a teasing smile, "My friend, you’re not falling for the little divine doctor, are you?"

This time, it seems like it’s Yan Zilei’s turn for the truth.

"Perhaps you’re right." Xu Yibai did not deny it. From the moment he first saw Mu Lin, his heart throbbed. His instincts told him it was her! But he, at that time, was no match for the beautiful, skillful, and well-known little divine doctor.

That hope and the repeated disappointments made him afraid to try again. That day, he backed off. When Mu Lin asked if he believed he could recover, he didn’t have an answer, nor did he dare to come up with any answer.

When Mu Lin refused to treat him, he instinctively provoked her. Then he realized that he was scared.

If he had left without hesitation at that time, he and her might not have crossed paths again. Thankfully, in the end, she agreed, which led to his current situation.

Back then, when Mu Lin said that as long as he could stand up again, he would have to fulfill three of her conditions. Otherwise, it would be the other way round. Honestly, he was glad to hear that, at least, it allowed them to have some connection.

At first, Xu Yibai did not know how he felt about Mu Lin. It was all intuition. Furthermore, if it hadn’t been for Xu Yiwen, one of the most eligible bachelors in B City, who had limited contact with women, he might not have realized his feelings so quickly.
