Chapter 12

Editor: DarkSapphire, Uncia

After settling in the main room, Yan Xixia suddenly remembered it took around three hours to travel from Qingyun City and asked: “I don’t know if the two of you had dinner yet?” 

Yu Luyuan did not reply, but the little fool understood the question. He said cheerfully while patting his stomach: “Very hungry!”

Yu Luyuan said to the little fool: “Who was it that ate so many snacks on the road?”

Little fool, with an innocent face: “You did!”

Yu Luyuan really couldn’t take this little fool seriously: “You are going to upset your stomach if you eat anymore.” 

The little fool rubbed his stomach: “Stomach doesn’t hurt, it can eat a lot!” He followed this by making a big circle with his hands.

Xiao Lian watched the little fool, laughing: “Easting a little bit should be fine.”

Yan Xixia asked Uncle Yan to request that the chef prepare some easy to digest food.

The little fool smiled at Xiao Lian, showing a row of big, white teeth: “Brother Xiao Lian is the best!”

Yu Luyuan uttered: “You say that to anyone that gives you food.”

The little fool ignored him, humphed loudly, and then continued talking with Xiao Lian: “Brother Xiao Lian, I have a name now!”

Interested, Xiao Lian asked: “What is your name?”

The little fool happily replied: “Jian Bao! I’m Bao Bei too! Food brother gave me the name!”

From the chat, Yu Luyuan picked up that Yan Xixia’s eyes have problems. He looked into his eyes and found nothing unusual. Seeing the young master’s modest manner, he asked, despite etiquette: “What’s wrong with your eyes?”

Yan Xixia smiled: “I injured my head and lost my eyesight.” 

Yu Luyuan asked: “Has Brother Yan ever heard of Bai Zhu, the great doctor?”

Yan Xixia replied: “Of course.”

Yu Luyuan asked him another question: “Did Brother Yan look for the doctor?”

“Bai Zhu is a hard person to track.” Yan Xixia chuckled: “Naturally I have tried, but I haven’t located him.” 

Yu Luyuan also laughed: “It just so happens that he is at the Yu Mansion right now.”

Xiao Lian was immediately excited. His whole body trembled as he stood up from the chair, hands shaking: “Really?”

Yu Luyuan nodded: “Yes, really.”

Yan Xixia was surprised: “Why is he at the Yu Mansion?” 

Yu Luyuan explained: “He took a disciple named Bai Tu, a friend of Jian Bao.”

When Jian Bao was listening to them, he couldn’t comprehend everything. It was like walking through a thick fog. But as soon as he heard a familiar name, his eyebrow curved like a dance: “Brother Xiao Lian, Bai Tu is my stuttering little friend, I found him! He saves people now! Isn’t he very strong?”

Xiao Lian would never have thought the doctor that he and Yan Xixia had been looking for was just three hours away and was Jian Bao’s friend’s master too: “Yes, very strong.”

Jian Bao was honored: “Brother Xiao Lian is also very strong, he can embroider handkerchiefs.” 

Yu Luyuan returned: “Your friends are all very strong, and you only know how to eat.”

Jian Bao immediately countered: “I am very strong at eating!”

He pouted, crossed his arms, and walked to the wall. There, he stood facing the wall and stopped talking.

Xiao Lian looked at Jian Bao and asked Luyuan: “Is he alright?” 

Yu Luyuan looked at Jian Bao’s familiar gesture, smiled, and said in a relaxed tone: “Yes, nothing is wrong. He is mad at me. I will coax him in a bit and he will be fine.”

Xiao Lian looked at Yu Luyuan’s expression and thought: He likes to make Jian Bao angry and once Jian Bao is angry, he also likes to coax him. What kind of strange pastime is this?

Yu Luyuan said to Yan Xixia: “Jian Bao saw your wife’s handkerchief today and made a fuss about wanting to see him. It was disrespectful of us to visit so late. I am sure they will want to catch up and chat more for a few more days. Tomorrow I will write a letter back home and request for Doctor Bai. I am sure he will not leave this matter alone with his kindness.”

Yan Xixia smiled: “Brother Yu doesn’t need to be this polite. Jian Bao is also my wife’s friend. Originally we wanted to send out a letter to your family, but we never expected to see you at our door today. And because of Brother Yu, we could finally find Doctor Bai. I am very grateful. Please stay here as long as you’d like, no need to be polite.” 

“Thank you, madam, for helping Jian Bao before, or I will never have met him.” Yu Luyuan looked at Jian Bao and laughed: “I will go check on him.”

Yan Xixia nodded at Yu Luyuan and watched Yu Luyuan walk toward Jian Bao, whisper something, and then take Jian Bao to the dining room.

Later, when Yan Xixia and Xiao Lian returned to their bedroom and the door was closed, Yan Xixia hugged Xiao Lian tightly, said with a gentle voice that only they could hear: “Wife.”

Xiao Lian hugged Yan Xixia back and replied: “Yes?” 

Yan Xixia repeated: “Wife.”

Xiao Lian didn’t think Yan Xixia would be this stirred up from hearing news of Doctor Bai. He gently patted Yan Xixia’s back: “We found the doctor, there is a chance for your eyes to be well again.”

Yan Xixia smiled: “I actually had very little hope. Otherwise, if it is impossible for me to regain my sight, I wouldn’t be able to bear the heavier blow.”

Xiao Lian leaned back from the embrace and put his hands over Yan Xixia’s mouth: “Do not think such things, you will be fine.” 

Yan Xixia reached out to hold Xiao Lian’s hand and landed a gentle kiss on it: “Alright, I believe in my wife.”

Xiao Lian held back his embarrassment and did not take back his hand: “If the news is bad, I will still always be with you.”

Yan Xixia kissed the back of Xiao Lian’s hand again: “Wife.”

“Yes?” 

“Marrying you is the luckiest thing that happened in my life.”

“I should be the one saying that.” Xiao Lian lowered his gaze: “Meeting you was the best thing that happened to me—better than you meeting me. You could meet so many more people better than I am. Marrying should be the luckiest thing that has ever happened in my life.”

Yan Xixia listened to Xiao Lian and chuckled. Xiao Lian did not understand what Yan Xixia was laughing about: “What is it?”

“Madam still does not understand what he is in my eyes. I value you as much as you value me. So madam needs to stop saying these negative things about himself, or I will really be angry with you,” Yan Xixia said as he gently pinched Xiao Lian’s cheek. 

Xiao Lian touched his cheek that was pinched by Yan Xixia in a daze.
