Chapter 87 Misunderstood

Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Misunderstood

"Did my grandpa really agree?" Xiang Juan asked again, confirming because she had never seen her grandpa treat a stranger so kindly.

"He really did." Lin Xi nodded, but inwardly he thought, such a pretty cute girl, of course, I can’t let her go to someone else.

"Then once it’s cured, it shouldn’t be needed anymore, right?" Xiang Juan thought this was the only way; she wouldn’t be responsible then.

"Cured what?" Lin Xi stopped in his tracks, a bit puzzled, as they both stood in the middle of the courtyard.

"The psychological issues, I mean. If they get treated, then my grandpa won’t have to make me marry you." Xiang Juan explained.

"Psychological issues???

So, she was thinking about not being responsible, Lin Xi couldn’t help but mentally remark, this is just too black-and-white.

"No, no, no, it’s not psychological issues, besides I’m also a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, these psychological problems are nothing serious, they’ll be fine after some time." Lin Xi had to explain and then said to Xiang Juan, "Actually, your grandpa sees that I’m a good person."

"You’re a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?" Xiang Juan was a bit confused, in her view, all traditional medicine doctors were her grandpa’s age.

And Lin Xi looked about the same age as her, or at most a little older.

"Yes, I’m actually the world’s greatest traditional Chinese medicine doctor!" Lin Xi said honestly, mentally excluding the old man.

Old man, you’re a weirdo, can’t be counted as human!

"You’re bragging!" Xiang Juan didn’t believe him.

"If you don’t believe me, you can try it." Lin Xi laughed.

"How to try?" Xiang Juan was still a bit curious.

"Give me your hand, I can diagnose some things you can’t imagine, and you’ll naturally believe it."

Lin Xi held Xiang Juan’s hand, for quite some time, until Xiang Juan urged him. Only then did he, a bit reluctantly, feign mystery and said,

"You haven’t been sleeping well the past few nights, often having nightmares."

Xiang Juan was taken aback because Lin Xi was right, but she wasn’t surprised, as her grandpa could also tell such things.

She wasn’t belittling her grandpa. In fact, her grandpa could also be considered a doctor, just the most ordinary kind.

"This morning you ate a pork bun, a sesame ball, a cup of pure milk, and a large bowl of beef noodles."

When Lin Xi said this, Xiang Juan felt a bit embarrassed, as if she did eat a lot.

But she was even more shocked. If the previous sleep and nightmares could be discerned from physical conditions, then being able to accurately say what she ate in the morning was something she had never heard any traditional medicine doctor capable of.

"Also, someone has been giving you guys trouble recently, very annoying kind, even leading to conflicts."

"You can tell that?" Xiang Juan blurted out, looking visibly shocked and puzzled, "But what’s that got to do with traditional medicine."

"Traditional Chinese medicine is traditional Chinese medicine and not Western medicine, because of its broad and profound mystery." Lin Xi responded vaguely, because it indeed had nothing to do with traditional medicine, just to impress Xiang Juan.

Initially entering this small alley, he noticed a lot of demolition signs, and it was already rare to see people around, not much residential activity left.

Only the traditional pharmacy was still operating normally. When Lin Xi entered the courtyard, he noticed they had no intention of moving out.

Isn’t it obvious? This is the legendary resistant resident!

As for why they became resistant residents, Lin Xi didn’t know for the time being, but clearly, such a weak grandfather and granddaughter wouldn’t be managing well when demolition people came to trouble them.

"Oh." Xiang Juan thought deeply for a moment, then once again turned to Lin Xi and said, "Even so, my grandpa was too reckless."

"After all, we just met. How could he make such a decision...."

"I don’t think Elder Xiang was reckless at all." Seeing Xiang Juan’s confusion, Lin Xi explained, "There’s an old saying, ’When fate brings people together, distance is no barrier to meeting, and without it, even close people won’t meet.’ Since fate has brought us together, just let it be!"

"Oh?" Xiang Juan didn’t understand.

"Also because you, brother Lin Xi, are too outstanding!" Lin Xi never imagined there’d be a day to use the 45-degree gaze at the sky.

"Hmm." Xiang Juan didn’t deny it.

"Don’t you think you’re also very handsome?"

"Seems like it." From this angle, Xiang Juan indeed thought so.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."

Xiang Juan quickly withdrew her hand from Lin Xi upon realizing her grandpa stood at the door, coughing violently.

"Grandpa, you scared me!" Xiang Juan patted her chest, calling out to her grandpa in the distance, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine, I’m fine, bring Lin Xi in, don’t just stand out in the yard." Elder Xiang said before returning to the medicine cabinet, continuing to search...

But at this moment, his heart was very complicated.

Because the image in his mind was Lin Xiaoyou holding his granddaughter’s hand, gazing at the sky while his granddaughter gazed at him in fascination.

What on earth is happening?

They left his sight for less than five minutes, and they’re holding hands already?

Were they acquainted before, and just now Xiaojuan was lying?

The world of young people, he really can’t quite grasp it!

But he didn’t have much against Lin Xi; after all, he’s a Divine Doctor at such a young age, even someone Zhang Huacheng admires.

If he were to become his grandson-in-law, he would wake up laughing from a dream, with no worries about what would happen to Xiaojuan when he can no longer move one day.

Of course, if it were any other young man, he’d make sure to beat him up.

"He’s just too young!" Elder Xiang let out a long sigh after his cheerfulness, thinking to himself that he must advise his granddaughter that it’s best to focus on studies now, puppy love isn’t good!

Besides, he’s not sure about Lin Xi’s character yet, and doesn’t want to give away his most cherished granddaughter too early.

"Grandpa has always been healthy. Why is he coughing now?" Xiang Juan muttered as she led Lin Xi toward the main hall.

"He must be too happy," Lin Xi explained.

"Happy?" Xiang Juan didn’t understand.

"Because Elder Xiang hopes to marry you to me, but doesn’t know what you think, so seeing me holding your hand, he thought we had mutual interest," Lin Xi explained again; wooing a girl isn’t easy.

"But you were just diagnosing me, and how could I have feelings for you when we’ve just met...." Xiang Juan’s cheeks turned slightly red.

"Just met doesn’t matter, we have plenty of time in the future." Lin Xi said.

"Oh." Xiang Juan felt a bit confused, sensing something was off, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.

The main hall had chairs and old-style rocking chairs, a round table, and a simple small bamboo table; the decor was simple but very clean, indicating regular cleaning.

"You sit here for a while, I’ll make some tea for you." Saying this, Xiang Juan gestured for Lin Xi to make himself at home and went out.
