Chapter 1012: Chapter 1009: Are You Moved Just Like That?

Tong Xiaohua finished her class and walked out of the Teaching Building with Xiao Mi.

When the two saw Yan Bo approaching them against the wind, dressed in a black long coat with a neatly tailored suit inside, Tong Xiaohua was stunned, while Xiao Mi looked envious.

"Tsk tsk, Xiao Hua, are you two trying to blind me, a single dog, with your lovey-dovey act?"

Tong Xiaohua felt wronged, with an innocent look on her face.

"Xiao Mi, I didn’t even know he was coming to pick me up!"

If she remembered correctly, aside from that one time he picked her up at the library, this was the first time Yan Bo had been so ostentatious in picking her up outside the Teaching Building.

Before they could say anything more, Yan Bo had already walked up to them with his long strides.

Yan Bo first nodded and smiled at Xiao Mi, then very naturally reached out to take Tong Xiaohua’s backpack, "Can we go now?"

That gentle tone and look in his eyes inflicted a ten-thousand-point hit on Xiao Mi, who then raised her hand and pushed Tong Xiaohua toward Yan Bo.

"Get going, get going, I’m feeling so upset!"

Tong Xiaohua first smiled at Yan Bo, then turned to Xiao Mi and said, "Then how about I give you a plunger as a New Year’s gift tomorrow?"

Xiao Mi, looking frustrated, raised her hand as if to hit her, "Xiao Hua, you’re getting worse!"

Tong Xiaohua giggled and hid behind Yan Bo, poking her head out to wave goodbye, "Where is the bad in this? It’s clearly what you need the most!"

Xiao Mi took a step forward to catch her, but Yan Bo shielded Tong Xiaohua behind him and said to Xiao Mi with a smile, "She’s just a little girl; don’t stoop to her level."

Xiao Mi rolled her eyes, "Fine then, having a boyfriend to protect you is indeed different. Go on, stop showing off in front of me, I’m going blind!"

Tong Xiaohua waved her hand with a smile, "Then I’ll be going, remember to save me a seat the day after tomorrow, Senior Xiao Mi."

Tong Xiaohua seemed to be in a good mood, which eased Yan Bo’s mind a bit. After saying goodbye to Xiao Mi, he turned and wrapped his arm around Tong Xiaohua, heading to his car.

"Weren’t you very busy these past few days? How do you have time to pick me up?"

Tao Jia was right; compared to girls of the same age, Tong Xiaohua was indeed more considerate.

Unfortunately, her own parents couldn’t see this. They only focused on her family background, and then went so far as to list her as someone he was forbidden to interact with.

Yan Bo felt a pang of heartache as he looked down at her, "Silly girl, I’m your boyfriend. No matter how busy I am, I have to make time to come get you."

Indeed, she could demand so much more from him, but she never did.

Indeed, she could have complained to him about the difficulties and grievances she faced with his parents, but she never once brought it up to him.

On the contrary, she even went out of her way to worry about the health of his mother.

However, Tong Xiaohua seemed not to hear his heartfelt words, staring at his face for a long while before reaching out to touch it, "Does your face still hurt?"

These past few days, she had been regretting not holding back and giving him a couple of hard slaps, which ended up making her feel hurt for several days as well.

Yan Bo took her hand and pulled it down, "It hasn’t hurt for a while. Besides, I deserve it, you don’t need to feel sorry for me!"

As they talked, they had arrived at the car.

Yan Bo opened the co-pilot door and helped Tong Xiaohua into the car.

While fastening her seat belt, Tong Xiaohua looked up at Yan Bo, who had taken the driver’s seat, "Is your work really okay?"

Yan Bo leaned over and kissed the tip of her nose, "Don’t worry, you have a share in Yanhuang, and I dare not fail."

Tong Xiaohua nodded with a chuckle, "Right, if you dare squander my money, my dad will definitely chop you!"

The two chatted and laughed all the way, and not until the car had driven out of L University did Tong Xiaohua remember to ask, "Where are we going?"

Yan Bo looked straight ahead, "Do you want to go somewhere?"

Tong Xiaohua thought seriously for a moment, "No, but I do miss Aunt Xin’s cooking. How about we go to your place to eat?"

Yan Bo glanced at her, "Are you sure you’re really missing Aunt Xin’s cooking, and not just trying to avoid getting in the way of my work?"

Tong Xiaohua, with her thoughts seen through, still stubbornly insisted, "Who says I’m afraid of disturbing your work? I really do miss the drunken chicken Aunt Xin makes, and the tomato braised beef brisket."

The two dishes she mentioned were indeed Aunt Xin’s specialties, and in the past, she had genuinely enjoyed them.

"Alright then, you call Aunt Xin yourself and tell her to start cooking now."

Yan Bo had originally planned to take Tong Xiaohua to a cozy Western restaurant for some Western food to alleviate the guilt in his heart a bit.

Little did he know, this girl not only didn’t appreciate the gesture but also kept thinking only of him, the sinner.

Tong Xiaohua uttered an "Oh," took out her phone and dialed Yan Bo’s residence.

When Aunt Xin heard they were coming back to eat, she did not say much, agreeing to start cooking immediately.

Tong Xiaohua felt a bit embarrassed, "Aunt Xin, check if you’re missing any ingredients, we can bring them back with us, eating a bit later is fine."

"No need, we have everything at home. Mr. Yan always has me keep the ingredients for these dishes you love."

Tong Xiaohua was unexpectedly moved by Yan Bo again, hung up the phone, and turned her head to look at him.

Feeling her inquisitive gaze, Yan Bo asked, puzzled.

"What? Unhappy now? Did Aunt Xin badmouth me?"

Tong Xiaohua shook her head, "No, she said you always had her keep the ingredients ready for those dishes I love."

Yan Bo glanced at her and asked with amusement, "That’s enough to move you?"

Tong Xiaohua stayed silent, but in fact, she was indeed moved.

Yan Bo took advantage of the traffic light stopping the car, reached out to grab her hand, and lightly kissed it.

"Xiao Hua, what I’ve done, compared to what you’ve done, is nothing but a trivial matter, hardly worth mentioning."

Tong Xiaohua did not quite understand his words and looked at him with wide-eyed confusion.

"Jiajia told me everything, you had Chinese medicine prescribed for my mother for a month. Doctor Dong is hard to get an appointment with, isn’t he?"

It was then that Tong Xiaohua realized it was Tao Jia who had betrayed her.

"Actually, I’m not certain that those medicines will be suitable for your mother. However, I did show her medical records to him."

Although Tong Xiaohua had managed to get a prescription from Physician Dong with great difficulty, she couldn’t be sure it would really be effective.

"Don’t worry, it will be suitable," Yan Bo reassured her.

Yan Bo had also heard of Physician Dong’s reputation.

Many officials and nobles from Capital City would specifically travel to L City to see him for treatment.

"This Physician Dong, I heard he’s very principled. How did you convince him to prescribe the medicine for you?"

"My mother has been his patient for dozens of years, and I’m quite familiar with him. Once I showed him your mother’s medical records, he agreed to prescribe those medicines."

Beyond the reason Tong Xiaohua verbally shared, she also had to gift a set of pricey purple clay tea set before Physician Dong was willing to prescribe the medicine.

Physician Dong had a habit of charging patients based on their social status and wealth.

If a poor person went to him and he took a liking to them, he might only charge a few dollars as a fee.

But if the patient was influential and powerful, he would charge an exorbitantly high fee.
