Chapter 52: Another Meeting with Zhao Yuming

At this moment, the lights on both sides of the street lit up, and the noisy sounds of people coming out to catch the night market, as well as some onlookers eager for excitement, forced him to climb up from the ground.

During this time, Lin Xi just stood next to him, looking around as if completely ignoring that there was still a person lying on the ground…

In reality, he was thinking about escape plans.

The result was that he didn’t come up with a plan, but instead attracted a crowd of onlookers.

“Isn’t this the only son of Lin Haiqi’s family? I heard that he was sold to the county magistrate’s mansion to do hard labor a while ago. Looking at his attire now, he doesn’t seem like someone who does rough work.”

“You don’t know this, do you? I heard that he was taken in by the county magistrate’s eldest son, Mu Fang, and is now kept in the backyard, cherished like a treasure. It’s only natural that he wears this kind of outfit.”

“Shh… keep it down, isn’t that Mu Fang lying on the ground? Do you not want your heads anymore?”

“…”

The whispers came to an abrupt halt, and some timid people quietly left.

Mu Chuang also got up at this time, dusted off his body, and the group of people who had been gossiping scattered like birds and beasts.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Lin Xi had to temporarily abandon the idea. After all, he was under Mu Chuang’s watchful eyes, and it was unlikely that he could run away unless…

He still insisted on taking Mu Chuang to see a doctor, thinking of slipping away through the back door of the clinic.

By this time, Mu Chuang had dusted off the dirt on his body, but he couldn’t touch Lin Xi as carelessly as before, because that kiss had made his heart race uncontrollably.

He suddenly realized that the relationship between him and Lin Xi was no longer just that of an older brother loving a younger brother.

“Um… Lin Xi…” he said awkwardly, “…are we still going to see the doctor?”

“Yes.” Lin Xi replied without hesitation, and reminded him, “Please don’t always call my name so casually, especially in front of outsiders. I won’t respond if you call me like that, understand?”

Mu Chuang smiled helplessly, didn’t agree, but took two steps forward to Lin Xi and said to him, “As long as you know it in your heart, I don’t have to force you to admit it verbally. Since you insist that Chuang-ge has a problem, then let’s go see it. Anyway, I have nothing to do, and it’s good to come out and familiarize myself with the environment here.”

While speaking, he kept staring at the other person’s face, as if he couldn’t get enough of looking at it.

Noticing the other person’s gaze, Lin Xi looked away and walked ahead without saying a word.

He believed that as long as he kept walking along this street, he would definitely find a clinic.

Because of Mu Chuang’s experience just now, he subconsciously lifted the hem of his robe a little while walking, so as not to accidentally step on it and fall.

Mu Chuang stared at him from behind, feeling that every movement he made was extremely graceful, while he himself looked very strange when he lifted his robe.

After walking for a while, passing by a tailor shop, he quickly called Lin Xi to stop, “Wait, I want to go in and tailor my clothes.”

Lin Xi stopped when he heard this, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He also wanted to tailor his clothes, but he restrained himself when he thought of the possibility of being exposed.

Although Mu Chuang already knew that he had transmigrated, as long as he didn’t admit it, he would save a lot of trouble and be able to keep a certain distance from him.

Seeing Lin Xi stop, Mu Chuang took the lead and entered the store. After explaining to the proprietress, he took off his coat in public and asked her to shorten it by an inch.

Although the proprietress was surprised, she did so for the sake of the money.

She knew this noble young master, and in fact, no one on this entire Nanxi Street didn’t know him. He had previously asked her to wear such long clothes himself, so she didn’t know why he was now asking her to shorten it by an inch.

While wondering, she busied herself, measured the width to be cut off, and made a few cuts with the scissors. Then, she carefully wrapped the edges and sewed them carefully. The whole process took less than a quarter of an hour.

“You’re quite efficient, no need to give me change.” Mu Chuang was so happy that he became generous for once.

He picked up the clothes and put them on again, and specially glanced at the hem of the robe. After being shortened by an inch, it just revealed the surface of his shoes, so no matter how he walked, he shouldn’t step on it.

“Very good,” he continued to praise, “Tomorrow I’ll bring all the clothes from my house, can you help me tailor them?”

“No problem,” the proprietress replied with a smile, “As long as it’s what the young master orders, I’ll do it. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

“Okay.” Mu Chuang responded, then turned his face and asked Lin Xi, “Does Xiaoyu’s need to be tailored?”

His eyes were full of cunning smiles, and his teasing was obvious.

“No need.” Lin Xi refused decisively, “Now that you’ve tailored it, let’s keep going.”

After he finished speaking, he turned and left the tailor shop first, then continued forward in the original direction.

Mu Chuang followed with a smile, but he didn’t know that the proprietress behind him showed a look of gossip.

“These two are really interesting.” She commented to herself, “Why do I think they’re more pleasing to the eye than a man and woman together? Am I getting more and more improper as I get older? Haha.”

In between the teasing, the two of them had gradually moved away from her sight.

Finally arriving at a clinic, they saw three large characters “Miao Hui Chun” written on the signboard, and one could guess that this doctor was a very confident and unpretentious person.

Lin Xi stepped inside first, but was told by the pharmacy assistant that they were no longer accepting patients tonight.

“Why?” Lin Xi asked in confusion, “It’s not too late now, it shouldn’t be closing time yet.”

The pharmacy assistant glanced at the beautiful man in front of him and suddenly became very interested in explaining to him, “There are patients waiting for bandaging now, and it will be closing time when the master is done, so we won’t take any more patients in order to avoid making you wait too long. You can go to other clinics as soon as possible.”

“Oh, is that so.” Lin Xi was a little disappointed, but still thanked him and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, a man’s voice came from the small room behind, “It’s okay, please let this young master in, I can see him first.”

Lin Xi stopped his footsteps, feeling that the voice was a little familiar.

Mu Chuang naturally heard it too, and suddenly wanted to drag Lin Xi away, but as soon as he moved his feet, the man inside came out.

Familiar face, familiar figure, except like them, he changed to an ancient costume style.

He had a high ponytail tied up, which made his originally gentle features a little sharp, and with a black tight-fitting suit, he looked like someone who could fight.

“Ming-ge?” Lin Xi exclaimed, “You… are you injured?”

Zhao Yuming stopped, surprised by Lin Xi’s concern for him. He knew that this was the person he had been pursuing for several years, and he had always been cold to him. How could he suddenly care about him when they met today?

Moreover, he called him “Ming-ge”, which he didn’t even dare to think about in his dreams.
