Chapter 436 Can't I recommend myself?
Lu Yangyang's face instantly filled with speechlessness.
But she was in a good mood today and didn't argue with him.
He even asked in a lighthearted tone, "What brings you here, Chief Lin?"
Lin Wuji took a step back, tilted his head, and looked at Lu Yangyang with great confusion. "You're acting a bit strange today. Did you find some money?"
Lu Yangyang: "..."
Never mind, I'll go back and pack my things.
She spoke in a very calm tone: "Chief Lin, if there's nothing else, please step aside."
Lin Wuji found it even stranger. What was wrong with her today? Why didn't she argue with him? Wasn't she usually sharp-tongued and eloquent?
He circled around Lu Yangyang, and seeing that she was getting impatient and about to leave, he quickly stretched out his arm to stop her: "Hey, I've saved you several times, shouldn't you..."
Lu Yangyang looked up at him.
Lin Wuji held back his words and smiled brightly: "Treat me to a meal!"
Lu Yangyang: "..."
She was really anxious and wished she could leave that very night, but Lin Wuji had indeed helped her, and it would be really unreasonable for her not to even treat him to a meal.
Lu Yangyang had no choice but to patiently nod and say, "Let's go, let's eat now."
Lin Wuji looked at the sky. "It's not even time for dinner yet. I've been looking for you for days. Won't you invite me in for a cup of tea? You ran away so fast the other day without even leaving a message. If I hadn't happened to be in Yingzhou recently, where would I have found you if you had run away? Are you trying to renege on your debt?"
Lu Yangyang resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
Why does he talk so much and cause so much trouble!
Social etiquette, social etiquette, Lu Yangyang silently repeated to herself several times, managing to squeeze out two sentences through gritted teeth.
"Do you have to pick a time to eat? Are you going to eat or not?"
Lin Wuji: "...Eat."
Lu Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief. "Hurry up, okay?"
Her eyes quickly scanned the street, and she spotted the nearest restaurant, pointing to it: "That's it."
Lin Wuji felt that Lu Yangyang was acting strangely today, so he followed her. When the dishes were served, he couldn't help but observe Lu Yangyang, only to find her staring out the window, lost in thought and looking absent-minded. He had known her for a while, and every time he saw her, she was always energetic and radiant. This was the first time she seemed so preoccupied.
“Hey,” Lin Wuji tapped the table.
Lu Yangyang snapped out of her daze, looking puzzled: "Huh?"
Lin Wuji pointed to the food on the table: "The food is served."
Lu Yangyang then realized that she had been lost in thought, and she quickly apologized to Lin Wuji: "Sorry, I was thinking about something just now."
Then he poured himself a cup of tea, saying, "Consider this cup of tea an apology, and thank you for your help several times."
Lin Wuji leaned forward slightly: "So, you've forgiven me? You're starting to look at me differently, starting to see my good points?"
Lu Yangyang almost choked to death on a mouthful of tea.
She suppressed the urge to cough and looked at him, bewildered. "What are you talking about? We may have had a bit of a falling out, but we've evened things out since last time. Thanks to your help at the docks, it's only right that I thank you. Do I need to discover your strengths and weaknesses? What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long?"
Lin Wuji was taken aback by her words, and felt inexplicably choked up.
I couldn't help but ask, "I just want to know, what kind of man do you like?"
He was genuinely curious about what was so special about the man that Mingruo mentioned Lu Yangyang liked, the one that was hard not to like, that could attract her attention.
Lu Yangyang added a large bowl of rice to her plate and was about to start eating when she heard Lin Wuji's question. She couldn't help but frown. Why did she feel like she was listening to her girlfriends gossip back then?
How can someone as grown up as Chief Lin be so gossipy?
She replied helplessly, "Chief Lin, I think I'm still young. I'll know what kind of man I like when I like him. Although I'm not very close to my parents, my maternal grandfather, elder brother, and second elder brother are still alive. So I don't need to discuss this issue with you, do I?"
"Cough cough cough cough," Lin Wuji coughed a few times, looking at Lu Yangyang in disbelief.
No, he asked her what kind of person she liked, and she actually told him that her elders were still alive. Did she think he was going to introduce her to a man?
Why couldn't he volunteer himself?
Lin Wuji almost choked on his own blood. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and looked at Lu Yangyang with a hesitant expression.
Lu Yangyang didn't care about anything else and buried herself in her food.
After the meal, Lin Wuji barely ate any food; just watching her eat made him feel stuffed.
Seeing that Lu Yangyang had finished eating and was about to leave, he hurriedly asked, "Will you stay here to practice medicine?"
Lu Yangyang shook her head: "Of course not, I have things to do."
"What's wrong? Where are you going? Is it important? Is there anything I can help with?" Lin Wuji felt a little worried. If they parted ways this time, when would they see each other again?
“There are many things, for example…” Lu Yangyang thought for a moment and said, “For example, the method I used to save people that day, since it was publicized, many doctors in Yingzhou have learned it. But if more people learn it, people like you who travel the world all year round will only suffer minor injuries if you encounter similar knife or sword wounds. So I think I should go to more places. Changing the way of treating external injuries can help many people in need, which is naturally a very important thing.”
"No need for help. Just keep your eyes open in the future and don't let those people in your gang do whatever they want." Lu Yangyang waved to him, "Alright, I've finished eating, I'll be going now."
Then they ran away in a hurry.
Lin Wuji watched her hurried departure, his eyes slightly dazed.
He recalled what she had said on the ship that day, and what she had done at the dock. He suddenly seemed to understand why he found her so special and dazzling. He wondered what kind of person she liked, what kind of person she would like, and what Mingruo had said about the kind of person she liked that was hard not to like. But he overlooked the fact that she herself was that kind of person that was hard not to like.
Lin Wuji, oh Lin Wuji.
Lin Wuji chuckled and called to the waiter, "Waiter, bring me a pot of good wine!"
The waiter hurriedly brought over a pot of wine: "Please enjoy, sir!"
Lin Wuji poured himself a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.
The spicy and mellow taste of the wine as it went down his throat was just like his restless and eager thoughts. It seemed that trying a little bit wasn't enough; he had to try even harder.
He couldn't help but sneer.
"Boss," suddenly, one of his men rushed over and whispered in his ear, "the Prefect requests your presence."
Lin Wuji remembered the strange person he had met a few days ago and suppressed his smile.
