Chapter 1454: Chapter 1276: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Long Aixi’s hopeful gaze slowly faded away, but she still maintained a faint smile on her face, "Okay, I’ll go back and tell my aunt, and tomorrow we’ll return to Dragon Tooth Gang. If you wish to go back to Peach Blossom Village later, my parents will arrange for someone to escort you."

After all, even if she no longer liked Tian Xiaobei, she wouldn’t fall for herself, and she was destined to return to Peach Blossom Village.

And with Peach Blossom Village and Dragon Tooth Gang separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, let alone how their futures would develop, just seeing each other once more was difficult.

Xia Dabao watched the light in Long Aixi’s eyes ignite and then extinguish, and she suddenly felt a bit cruel.

...

The next day.

As soon as Tian Xiaobei left the Imperial Medical Institute, he saw the carriage waiting outside.

For the past two days, Pang Yanyan had been sending a carriage to pick him up, even for the short trip to her home.

The fact that he had been playing with Pang Yanyan spread throughout the Imperial Medical Institute these last two days. A couple of his classmates happened to pass by and teased him, "Xiaobei, you’re quite something. To have a beauty throw herself into your arms, your path in life is surely going to be smooth."

"Xiaobei, you might as well have your parents propose to Miss Pang’s family. If that marriage happens, you could probably avoid several years of struggle," they continued.

"..." Tian Xiaobei stood at the door silently.

For some reason, he had thought that becoming friends with Pang Yanyan was a good thing two days ago, but now he suddenly felt irritated.

Pang Yanyan was incredibly passionate, unequivocally kind to someone, but Tian Xiaobei had strong self-esteem; he believed this would cause others to misunderstand that he rose through connections.

However, Tian Xiaobei still got on the carriage, taken home by Pang Yanyan’s coachman.

As usual, he examined and treated Mr. Pang, chatted for a while, and was getting ready to leave when Pang Yanyan arrived, holding a food container in her hand.

"Xiaobei, this is pigeon soup stewed by our family’s cook. You read a lot and often stay up late; it’s best to nourish yourself," Pang Yanyan urged earnestly.

Tian Xiaobei looked at the food container but didn’t take it. After a while, he finally said, "Yanyan, I don’t need to drink this. I’m a physician, I know my own body well."

"It’s already been stewed; why not have it? Keep it," Pang Yanyan insisted as she stuffed the food container into Tian Xiaobei’s arms.

Tian Xiaobei smiled a little and ultimately did not refuse.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Xia Dabao. When they were in Peach Blossom Village, was not Xia Dabao just as enthusiastic? But Xia Dabao’s enthusiasm was like spring rain, gently nourishing and very measured, never making him feel embarrassed.

Pang Yanyan’s passion was like spring thunder, too fervent.

Although Pang Yanyan had not explicitly expressed her feelings for Tian Xiaobei, it was not hard to guess from her enthusiasm that she had expectations for him.

"You should be heading back now, right? Shall I walk you out?" Pang Yanyan offered again.

Tian Xiaobei nodded, and they walked out side-by-side.

For some reason, after only two days of interacting with Pang Yanyan, Tian Xiaobei felt tired.

Deep down, he still liked Xia Dabao, and after all, he had come to Capital City to study. If he kept spending time socializing, it would only hinder the speed of his studies.

"Xiaobei, don’t you have two more days off? Maybe we can go out somewhere else later? Remember Guigui? Their mulberry is about to ripen, we can go and pick mulberries together, how about that?"
