"Oh? Grandfather, you are in a good mood?" Guan Xin forced a smile. Whatever disappointment might be weighing on her heart, it was rare to see her grandfather so cheerful, and she had no wish to spoil it. She did her best to make her own spirits seem normal.
"Ha ha, yesterday I met a young miracle doctor! So many of his ideas opened my eyes and swept away doubts that have puzzled me for half my life." The good mood from Guan Xuewen's meeting and long talk with Wei Zhao yesterday had still not faded. "What a remarkable young man!"
"Young man? Miracle doctor?" Guan Xin was rather surprised. Her grandfather was a leading figure in the world of Chinese medicine, known to outsiders as Doctor Guan. For anyone to be called a miracle doctor in his mouth, how formidable must that person be? Yet from the gist of her grandfather's words, this person seemed very young? A young man?
"Ambition does not wait on years," Guan Xuewen said with a wave of his hand. "He and I may have no name of master and disciple, but we have had the time of master and disciple. Toward him, your grandfather conducts himself as a disciple before a master."
"As a disciple before a master?" Guan Xin's eyes went wide, and she stared at her grandfather in disbelief. It was not as though he had just woken up and was talking nonsense, was it? Could there really be someone that formidable?
"Xinxin, this young man is a fine one. When you have a day off, cook a few of your best dishes at home, and I will invite him over!" Guan Xuewen said with a smile. "Xinxin, you are not young anymore. It is time you gave some thought to your lifelong affairs..."
"Grandfather," Guan Xin said, wriggling coyly, and lowered her head in embarrassment. Yet somehow, an image of Wei Zhao flashed through her mind...
It was not that Guan Xin failed to understand her grandfather's meaning. It seemed her grandfather held that young miracle doctor in such high esteem that he meant to bring the two of them together. But she was not much taken with the idea. For one thing, the two of them did not know each other at all... and for another... just thinking of it made her blush...
"Ha ha," Guan Xuewen said. Naturally he could not read his granddaughter's thoughts, and simply assumed she was shy, so he said no more. "Hurry back to your room and rest. You must not have slept well on night duty, have you?"
"Yes, Grandfather. Then I will go up first." Guan Xin nodded, sighed faintly, and went into the villa, heading for her room.
When school let out that evening, Wei Zhao had to go to the snack street to fetch his car. After parting with Kang Xiaofeng, he headed in that direction. Earlier he had sent messages to Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao, telling them that he had driven to school and would not be leaving with them that evening.
Wei Zhao had meant to stop by Aunt Tang's barbecue stall to ask about the exact time that weekend and the address of her home, but he found that Aunt Tang had not set up her stall today, so he could only drive off first.
Back in the villa district, Wei Zhao did not go straight to Gu Mengyao's villa. Instead he went first to Shen Yushu's, intending to bring her computer over, so that it would be more convenient when he needed to look things up.
The layout of Shen Yushu's villa was basically the same as Gu Mengyao's, and even the style of the decor was similar. They had presumably been decorated together.
Seeing the little bras and panties scattered everywhere across the living room and the sofa, Wei Zhao broke out in a sweat. He restrained himself from looking any further. He had no wish for Shen Yushu to take him for a madman, although she was not here now and would never know.
