Thank goodness Wang Yao did not hear this. Otherwise, how am I supposed to meet him in the future?! Li Maoshuang rejoiced in secret. In fact, he did not blame his eldest and youngest sister. Their reasoning was valid. It was for the sake of their father’s health. Furthermore, Wang Yao’s age was really too young. Most people would not believe that such a young man was an expert in pharmaceuticals.
I know it very well.
The two sisters were reassured after Li Maoshuang had agreed.
After leaving the hospital, Wang Yao did not go back in a hurry. He drove to Wang Mingbao’s shop instead. He had not been there for quite some time.
When he entered Wang Mingbao’s shop and went up the second floor, he happened to see a man who seemed to be in his forties coming out of Wang Mingbao’s office. His eyes were red and he seemed to have just cried.


He knocked on the door.

Come in.

He opened the door. Wang Mingbao was recording something and did not lift his head.

Are you very busy?


Oh! What brings you here? Quick, take a seat.
Wang Mingbao smiled and got up to brew some tea and serve some fruits.

I was at the hospital just now, so I’m dropping by.


You went to the hospital? Are you seeing a patient?


Yes. Li Maoshuang’s father is ill, so I went to visit him.


Really? When did it happen?


Yesterday afternoon. He has cerebral thrombosis.




Is his condition severe?
Wang Mingbao poured him a glass of water.

He’s slightly better now.


I’ll visit him some day.

They were already close friends. He had to pay a visit now that he knew about it. This was human sympathy.

What’s wrong with the man who came out of your office just now? Did you scold him?


Ah. His son is ill. He needs some money urgently, so he wants to have an advance against his salary for three months,
Wang Mingbao explained with a smile.
He’s touched.


Wow! What illness is it?
Wang Yao always asked about it when he came across an illness. This was almost a subconscious reaction from Wang Yao.

I didn’t ask him about it. He’s planning to go to Ji City,
Wang Mingbao replied.
Why, did you want to have a look?


Forget it.
Wang Yao smiled while shaking his head.
They had only met by chance. The other party might not be willing to believe he was capable of treating his son.



Why don’t you stay for lunch? It’s my treat.


Sure.

Wang Yao gave his family a call and notified them.
He stayed in Lianshan County for the afternoon. Tian Yuantu was invited. Wei Hai was in Haiqu City so he could not make it, whereas Li Maoshuang was still accompanying his father in the hospital. Moreover, Zhou Xiong and his son had also gone to Haiqu City. He took his son to watch the sea.
During lunch, Tian Yuantu seemed to have something on his mind.

Brother Tian, is something bothering you?
Wang Yao asked.

It’s nothing,
Tian Yuantu replied with a smile.
This was not the first time that Wang Yao had seen Tian Yuantu like this.

Just tell me if you need any help.


Okay,
Tian Yuantu responded.


This meal was not as enjoyable as usual. Although Tian Yuantu was talking and laughing, Wang Yao could clearly feel that Tian Yuantu had had something on his mind. Wang Mingbao could also feel it.
After lunch, Wang Yao went to Wang Mingbao’s shop again to have a chat.

Is Brother Tian worried about something?


I think so too, but he won’t say it.


Sigh. He has quite a strong resolve.
Wang Mingbao lit a cigarette and poured Wang Yao some water.

You can drink more tea, but you have to smoke less,
Wang Yao said with a smile.
He could hear that Wang Mingbao’s throat was a little hoarse. There were some murmurs in between his breathing. This was a symptom in the lungs, but it was not serious yet.

Yeah. I’ve been smoking quite frequently lately,
Wang Mingbao was embarrassed and smiled.

I’ll take a look.


What?



Want Yao stretched out his hand as he spoke.

What are you doing?
Wang Mingbao was a little startled.
Wang Yao was already pressing his hands against Wang Mingbao’s chest. Wang Mingbao only felt a surge of heat radiating from his palms. It then penetrated into his skin and went deeper in.
Wang Yao’s palms were moving, pressing, lightly touching, rubbing.
It was initially warm, then it became cooling.
Wang Mingbao actually felt two very different feelings. However, his chest felt very relaxed no matter which feeling it was. The previous slight discomfort had even disappeared without a trace.

How do you feel?


You’re impressive, buddy!
Wang Mingbao exclaimed.
What’s this? Is this neigong?
he joked.

I guess so,
Wang Yao replied with a smile.
Shocked by the positive response, Wang Mingbao asked,
Really? You even practice neigong now?!
He had only seen this kind of thing in novels and movies.
Wang Yao laughed.

Let’s talk about you. Could something be bothering you too?


No. I have good news,
Wang Mingbao answered with a smile.

Good news?


Yeah. I have my eyes on a girl. She’s amazingly pretty!
Wang Mingbao replied.

Really? This is great!
Wang Yao responded with a smile. Wang Mingbao and Wang Yao were around the same age. He was 27 years old this year and he was at the age to be getting married. However, Wang Mingbao had even higher achievements compared to that of Wang Yao. He was very manly and he had his own business. He was smart as well. He also had a good family. He had a father who was about to become the town secretary. He had to pick his wife out of a million.

When’s your wedding?


I haven’t told my mother yet,
Wang Mingbao replied.
Oh right, she’s coming over later. Why don’t we have dinner together tonight?


I’m going to be a sore thumb when you two are eating. Oh yeah, why didn’t you ask her along for lunch?


She wasn’t free at noon because she had a guest at home,
Wang Mingbao answered.

Okay. I’ll get going first.


Okay.

Wang Mingbao saw Wang Yao off downstairs. As they were talking, a woman walked towards them. Her slim jeans accentuated her two perfectly straight and slender legs. She was wearing a simple, light gray, airy shirt. She had long hair and fair skin. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses, so her face could not be seen clearly. However, looking at her slim figure, her face must be beautiful as well.

Qingqing.
Wang Mingbao waved at the woman from afar.
She’s here.


Is she the one you mentioned?


Yes.

Wang Yao initially did not look at the woman carefully. After hearing what Wang Mingbao said, he took a few more glances at her.
Huh?
He frowned a little.
After a while, the woman was in front of them. She brought a wave of fragrance.

Let me introduce. This is Wang Yao, my buddy. Call him Brother. This is Shen Qingqing.


Brother,
Qingqing took off her sunglasses and greeted him. Her voice was very clear.
At that moment, Wang Yao saw her face clearly. Her eyebrows were slender. She had bright eyes and white teeth. She was very pretty, to say the least. She was a beauty in a million.

I’ll go back first.


Okay. Drive safe.

Wang Mingbao and Shen Qingqing saw Wang Yao leave in his car. Then, they went into Wang Mingbao’s shop.

Who was that?


He’s from my village. He’s my buddy. We grew up together.


Oh. Is he running a business too?


No, he’s at home.
Wang Mingbao seldom mentioned his buddy in front of outsiders.
What do you want to eat for dinner?


Hmm, I feel like eating fish fillets in hot chili oil.


Sure.

…
There’s a problem!
In the car, Wang Yao was still thinking about the woman called Shen Qingqing.
The woman did not look quite right. Although she looked glowing, it was due to the objects of external perception, not her own complexion. Her body had had a fairly huge deficit not long ago.
Does the woman’s body have a deficit?
And her eyes?
Wang Yao had now learnt the four ways of diagnosis, which were looking, hearing, asking and diagnosing. The first type, which was ‘looking’, involved observing people’s complexions. In fact, there were even some metaphysics in it. It was also related to physiognomy. Therefore, he knew how to observe people as well.
Shen Qingqing’s eyes were sparkling, but they were coquettish.
As people said, the eyes were like the autumn water which was quiet and clear. On the other hand, if the eyes were like the spring water, they were rippling with love.
It was reasonable for a woman who was lovestruck to have such a gaze, but Wang Yao was still not at ease. After all, he was very close with Wang Mingbao. They were not blood-related brothers, but they were even closer than brothers.
This won’t do. I’ll talk to him and ask him about it again tomorrow.
Although Wang Mingbao had run his business for years and he was quite smart, people could get really dumb when they were passionately in love.
On the way home, Wang Yao saw an ambulance driven past his car in a hurry. It seemed to be very urgent.
After driving forward for a short distance, he saw a crowd at the place where the road was being repaired.

Hey, what do you think is going on? How could the road repairs go so wrong?!


I know! First, someone died. Now, someone is injured. This is crazy!


Is there a curse behind this?
