“It’s finally over. Look at those old guys; their faces are getting uglier than the last.” Huang Zilan moved his stiff arms. After standing for so long, his whole body was almost stiff.

“This scholar is really not something ordinary people can be.”

Liao Tingyu came over to massage the stiff muscles on Huang Zilan body.

“How’s it going? Is this more comfortable?”

“Yes, a little further to the left, that’s where it is,” Huang Zilan directed. “Today is so boring.”

“Are you bored? I see that you are having a good time. Especially when you see me showing off my power, your eyes light up! Seriously, why don’t we swap positions next time? How about you be me and I be your book boy,” Liao Tingyu said with interest.

“No, how can you change your identity? If we meet in the examination room and someone says you don’t look like this, then the two of us will go to the government to have dinner,” Huang Zilan thought it was very unrealistic.

“Since that’s the case, let’s forget it. Let’s go shopping tomorrow and take a look at the paintings and calligraphy of our seniors. Then we’ll go to the next place,” Liao Tingyu thought for a while.

“That’s fine. If those scholars can’t breathe when they go back, they will come to trouble you while we’re lying-in bed. It’s better to leave as soon as possible,” Huang Zilan also agreed with this matter.

“Why didn’t you restrain yourself a little bit when you tried your best today? I remember you were very low-key before!” Huang Zilan felt that Liao Tingyu’s performance today was a bit uncharacteristic.

“How do I put this? I just hate people who rely on their old age and sell themselves off. They are like rat’s poo, harming generations of people,” Liao Tingyu said.

“Although it is a bit excessive, you have intervened in this matter. No matter how well those students learning, a few will always succeed. I don’t know if the successful ones will also become like that,” Huang Zilan said worriedly.

“No one can say this. Anyway, we just have to do our own things well, do our best, and calm our hearts. One person’s power can never change the world and people’s hearts,” Liao Tingyu said.

“Then I was still worried that you would be disappointed. Since you can think so, that’s great,” Huang Zilan looked at his tall and handsome husband.

The most fearful thing was people who didn’t know their own abilities. The best thing was to act within your abilities.

“I’m not that stupid. Overestimating our own capabilities will only lead to self-destruction. We just cut off a way for them to make money. They won’t go crazy; they will only hate us in their hearts. Other methods are not worth it. If we make a big fuss, it will only be us who suffer,” Liao Tingyu said.

“Yes, everything should be done in moderation, and I hope those young people will not forget their current ideas,” Huang Zilan said in an old voice.

“Haha, if other people heard what you said, they would think you were already eighty years old! Young babies will grow taller if they go to bed early. Look, you just hit me on the shoulder now, little dwarf.” Liao Tingyu held the person in one hand and walked towards the bed.

“Nonsense, I’m not that short. I’m tall among the ger.” Huang Zilan was unconvinced, “Don’t hold me too much. It’s uncomfortable. You’re strangling me.”

“Oh, that’s it.” Liao Tingyu hugged him, throwing him a bit and moved his hand a little, “It won’t strangle you, right?”

“Well, that’s okay. Your recent arms seem to be a lot bigger.”

“That’s right, I’m working hard every day.” Liao Tingyu was very proud. No matter how tired he was from eating so much and exercising every day, his muscle lines were now showing.

It was a pity that the person who should appreciate it had no guts at all, alas!

.

On the second day, they unexpectedly met an acquaintance.

“Luo-xiucai, it turns out you love studying so much, and you came to read so early.” Luo-xiucai hates this face the most now. It was this person who caused him to lose two months’ worth of earnings.

However, it was impossible for him to ignore others who say hello with a smile. It would appear that he was too ungraceful.

“I didn’t expect Liao-xiucai to come so early. He really loves learning!” Luo-xiucai said complimentarily.

In an instant, the two people started complimenting each other.

“Liao-xiucai is really young and promising. He is able to do things at such a young age and does so well. His future is limitless.”

“Luo-xiucai is so polite. I will be proud if you say this. And to be honest, your knowledge is really good, especially your poems. Many people can’t compare to you,” Liao Tingyu smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. He said he was polite, but in fact, he accepted the compliment without humility.

“No way, the poems you wrote are really good. I should learn more from you.”@@novelbin@@

“These are all the contributions I am responsible for. If Luo-xiucai hadn’t made a good start in the front, I wouldn’t have continued that one. Otherwise, if I were the first to compose a poem, I would definitely be less than one-tenth as good as you,” Liao Tingyu said politely.

The two of them talked nonsense about each other’s business all afternoon. On the surface, they didn’t know anything about each other and thought they were close friends. It was such a late meeting!

Liao Tingyu complained while packing his things, “This guy really can’t see his head in the right place. After all he said, he still dragged me into talking about things. Does he have so much to say?”

“You and I think he did it on purpose. It’s a pity that I originally planned to eat wontons one last time. I wonder if we will have time to have a bowl before we leave,” Huang Zilan felt it was a pity.

“It should be okay. After all, they seem to get up very early. When we leave, we have to wait for the city gate to open. People will have opened stalls when the city gate opens,” Liao Tingyu also felt that it was a pity. If he could still eat it, it would be good.

“I hope so. We’ve been wandering around these days and didn’t pay attention to when that person opened his stall.”

“Who knew that something like this would happen? By the way, should I pack this thing in? It feels a little bit… There are so many!” Liao Tingyu said, holding about eight kilograms of fruit.

“Put it on. It won’t be much if you eat it. It’s better than not eating it when you suddenly want to eat it.”

“Our cows are really working hard these days.” Liao Tingyu said.

“It’s normal for a cow to pull a cart and carry seven or eight people. How hard is it?” Huang Zilan said.

“That’s what people are trying to say to us.”

“No matter how many nice things you say, he still won’t understand. You might as well feed him more. What’s going on with you today? I always feel like you have something to say to me.” Huang Zilan keenly discovered that Liao Tingyu was not normal.

Liao Tingyu was guessed through, so he stopped being coy and went straight to the point.

“Um, Zilan, do you think the fruits you bought today are all sour?” Liao Tingyu said.

“I know, so what?” Huang Zilan didn’t know.

Did he still need to hide something like this?

“No, I mean you don’t usually like sour food. Why did you buy sour food today? I ate a few, and they were sour and astringent. I didn’t feel they were ripe at all. Why did you buy them back? Has your taste changed recently?” Liao Tingyu said.

Huang Zilan put down the things in his hands: “I haven’t changed. It’s just that besides the sour ones, there are no sweet ones here. I just buy some in case I got bored on the road.”

“Is that so?” Liao Tingyu was confused, “But you ate three today. Hey. I only ate one.”

Huang Zilan was surprised, “Do you mean I ate too much? No, you ate so little because it didn’t suit your appetite, and I ate three, it was relatively small. Not as much as usual.”

Liao Tingyu felt that Huang Zilan didn’t understand what he meant at all.

How should I say this? If the happiness was really in vain, the disappointment left behind wouldn’t be comfortable.

Forget it, let observed it first.

Liao Tingyu thought for a while and wanted to go to the hospital to see if everything was alright before leaving. He also grabbed a few sets of medicinal materials to keep ready in case there was any accident.

Huang Zilan followed Liao Tingyu to the medical clinic and said, “The doctor won’t give you medicine without a prescription.”

“It’s okay. I’ll take a look at what they have and write a prescription myself. Let them get us medicine,” Liao Tingyu said.

“Then you can go in alone, why are you taking me?” Huang Zilan said strangely.

“No matter what, we have to stay in there for an hour or two. After all, it is rare to meet someone with a fever and cold. I walked around alone for an hour or two. What do people think I do? Since the business at Renji Medical Center is booming, there is a higher chance of being caught. You go and line up first to help me block my sight, and I will go to the place where the doctor prescribes medicine and take a look.” Liao Tingyu explained.

“Why do I feel like a thief? You are a thief and I am a thief.” Huang Zilan said jokingly.

“Nonsense, I’m here to learn from the master. You just go and line up, and the rest depends on what I do.” Liao Tingyu saw more and more people in front of him and quickly lowered his voice.

“Okay, I’ll listen to your orders. It’s really a wonderful experience.” Huang Zilan couldn’t laugh or cry. He never thought that the two of them would one day work together.

Sure enough, starting from playing the role of a book boy, I couldn’t stop playing other roles.

Huang Zilan obediently was helped into the medical center by Liao Tingyu. The people inside were pretty good. Liao Tingyu found a seat and ran over to take a look at the prescription at Huang Zilan’s signal.

Looking at Huang Zilan out of the corner of his eye, he was having a great conversation with the couple dressed by a wealthy family next to him. As expected, he didn’t need to worry about his wife.

Liao Tingyu took care of both sides. When the doctor looked at him several times, he immediately stepped forward and asked, “Doctor, how long will you take? My wife has been waiting here for a long time.”

“What’s the rush? Can this medical treatment be rushed?” After saying that, he lowered his head to write again.

Liao Tingyu relied on his photographic memory to memorize several prescriptions and diseases to treat.

Seeing that the team was really slow, he simply used an excuse to go to the latrine and write down the recipe silently.

After all, it was not bad to do a complete show and kill two birds with one stone.

When he came out, it wasn’t Huang Zilan’s turn yet, so slow!

Several times, Huang Zilan wanted to leave, but Liao Tingyu stopped him.

“You’re here, take a few more looks!”

Huang Zilan thought it was the scholar’s desire to learn that had awakened, so he followed him.

It was almost noon, and the doctor finally finished taking care the front and felt his pulse…
