Accidental encounter

  After walking through the bustling market, I finally saw a food store in the morning and evening. However, with the hassle of ordering, eating noodles is too much trouble, so let's just eat buns!

  "Boss, how much for the buns?"

  "One article of money for two."

  How much is it? I only have a few silver coins after searching my pockets in the morning and evening. "Excuse me, I don't have any change. Can I leave the money with you first and come back to eat later? Will that be okay?"

  The boss was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he had encountered such a customer, and just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a voice, "Miss, let me treat you!"

  In the morning and evening, I saw a man with a warm and gentle gaze. Unlike Lin Junchen's elegance, his facial features were soft and harmonious, like a refined gentleman. He emitted a soft glow that seemed to be able to heal people's souls.

  "Thank you, I'll take two." Chen Xi took over the boss's packed buns and didn't plan to stay, she wanted to eat while walking.

  A gentle-looking man glanced at her and bought a few buns, following her as he walked. "Miss, where are you headed?"

  "Just take a walk." Chen Xi looked back at him and wondered if this was a kind gentleman.

  Just then a gust of wind blew by, blowing up her hair, fiery red locks flashing before the man's eyes. In an instant, the man's warm face turned cold, "Princess!"

  Huh? Does he know himself? The curtains fluttered again, and Chen Xi looked at the man in front of her. Obviously, the gentleman's demeanor had changed, becoming somewhat gloomy. He didn't like himself! Chen Xi realized this and smiled wryly to herself, shoving the bun into his hand. "Thanks, I think you regret your kindness just now, take it back!"

  She turned around calmly and left in the morning and evening, without paying attention to the man's expression again.

  It doesn't matter who he is or what grievances they have between them. As long as he doesn't bother himself, the past doesn't matter.

  The man stood there in a daze, what's going on?

  It took him half a response to come back to his senses, and he hurriedly caught up with her, grabbing Chen Xi's wrist, "What are you trying to do now?"

  "Let go."

  "Go back,"

  "Who are you?" Chen Xi looked at him coldly, wondering why he had come to bother her.

  The man's face stiffened, "Stop playing around, let's go back to the princess's mansion!"

  Is he a person from the imperial palace? Chen Xi gave up struggling and said faintly, "I'm just out for a walk, there are people secretly following to protect me, no need for you to worry."

  The man let go of her hand, "So, Jingyuan bid farewell and left first."

  Jingyuan? Is that Jingyuan? The Second Master who is very tolerant of everyone in Ren Yi's mouth, but not too friendly to the princess.

  At dawn and dusk, she silently glanced at his back, what exactly did the Princess Chuyang do to make such a handsome gentleman like him be so intolerant of her?

  Putting aside Ji Jingyuan's affairs, she continued to wander around, enjoying life to the fullest.

  "Ah——"

  As she was passing by a medical building, Chen Xi was knocked back several steps by a young man and fell to the ground. The young man, however, managed to steady himself due to her resistance. Seeing that he had bumped into someone, he quickly walked over and said, "Sorry, are you hurt?"

  This is a fourteen or fifteen year old boy, with furrowed eyebrows, as if he was angry and worried about something. He stood up in the morning and evening to pat the dust off his clothes, "I'm fine, how are you?"

  "Hey kid, if you don't have money, then don't waste our time."

  At the entrance of the clinic stood a medicine boy, staring at the young man with great impatience.

  Short of money? Chen Xi glanced at the medicine boy indifferently, "With such a temperament, what's the use of having good medical skills?"

  The young medicine boy glared at Chen Xi, "You know what? Our medical hall has already waived his medical fees three times. The young master has a rule: if someone is really short of money, we'll waive the fee three times, but it can't go on forever. If everyone gets free treatment all the time, our medical hall won't even have enough to eat or buy medicine."

  "Ah, indeed, this principle she likes! Chen Xi listened to Yao Tong's explanation and bowed her head, 'I see, I didn't understand the situation earlier and wrongly blamed you, I apologize.'"

  The young man probably didn't expect the other party to apologize so frankly, and for a moment he couldn't say anything. After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "I'm glad you know."

  At a glance, he saw the young man's appearance, and his mind was on the plan from morning till night. "Do you need silver?"

  The young man looked up at the woman in front of him. He couldn't see her face, but from her clothes and demeanor, he could guess that she was a noblewoman. He bit his lip and nodded slightly.

  "How much is needed?"

  "One hundred and twenty." The young man hesitantly spoke out a number.

  "Morning and evening, I measure him, 'What will you do? If I need you to handle things, can you do a good job?'"

  "What does miss need me to do? Whatever ordinary people can do, I can do too!"

  The young man was quite thoughtful, and Chen Xi looked at him with a nod of approval. "I just so happen to have some free time, I'll take care of your matter first. As for whether you're useful to me or not, we can talk about that later!"

  The young man hesitated for a moment before finally making up his mind and nodding, Chen Xi looked at Yao Tong, "Hey, little brother, what does he need? You guys arrange it immediately, I'll pay the silver!"

  The young medicine peddler looked her up and down, seemingly hesitant. Chen Xi took out a silver note from his bosom, "Is this enough?"

  That was a silver note worth one hundred taels. The medicine boy's eyes widened and he immediately nodded, "Alright, I'll get my sister to treat his brother and mother-in-law right away!"

  Younger brother and mother-in-law?

  "What's your name?"

  "Boundless."

  At dawn and dusk, she read it once and smiled softly: "From now on, I'll call you Xiao Yan."

  The corners of the young man's mouth twitched involuntarily, what a ridiculous name, but considering she was his benefactor, he decided to let it slide for now.

  The young doctor led a woman in her thirties out, carrying a medical box, which seemed to have already explained the situation.

  Several people were about to follow Wu Ya into his home when Chen Xi suddenly noticed a woman standing at the door, holding a baby and hesitantly looking inside the clinic. The child in her arms looked like it was just over a month old, with an unhealthy complexion.

  "Liu Dajie, what's this?" Yao Tong asked with a frown.

  The woman looked at them with a reserved expression, "My child has been coughing non-stop for the past two days, I..."

  He looked at her quietly in the morning and evening, "No money for treatment?"

  The woman lowered her head in shame and said, "It's because I'm incompetent."

  She took a glance at the child in the morning and evening, coincidentally, the baby just opened his eyes, and his black pupils stared into her heart. The baby's gaze was the purest gaze in this world, and she felt a pang in her heart, "Let me see him, I'll pay for it."

  The woman surnamed Liu was overjoyed and immediately wanted to kneel down to thank her, but Chen Xi grabbed her, "I hate it when others kowtow."

  Mrs. Liu hastily stopped and said, "Thank you so much for your great kindness, I will remember your favor. Please leave me your name, so that in the future..."

  "I also hate it when others fawn all over me and speak to me with exaggerated humility, using 'you' and 'I' in a way that's overly polite. You and I are just ordinary people."

  The woman was startled and couldn't quite grasp her husband's temperament. She held the child and looked at him with a pitiful expression.

  At dawn and dusk, he let out a light sigh, looked at the medicine boy with one eye, "Take her in and have the best doctor see to the child's illness! Take half of the silver from that account to treat the child's illness with good medicine. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it when I get back." After finishing speaking, he looked at the woman again, "In the future, if the child gets sick, bring her here to see a doctor in time, don't delay the child's treatment, children can't be delayed."

  The woman nodded in gratitude, but in the morning and evening, Chen Xi let Wu Ya take him to see his grandmother.
