Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Leave When the Illness Is Cured

Hearing that ancient men were all rather chauvinistic, Gu Youyou thought Jin Zijin might be the same.

With that thought, Gu Youyou suddenly smiled and said, "We have only a little silver left, we can’t just sit around until it’s all gone, right? I know you’re very capable, but I don’t want to be a burden to others all the time. Treating the sick is something within my ability. Besides... the only doctor in Qingshui Town is gone, and when the residents fall ill, they have nowhere to turn for help. They can’t just stay sick!"

Jin Zijin looked at her calmly as she spoke earnestly, explaining her reasons.

She was right, but... he paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Have you thought about yourself?"

"What?" Gu Youyou was somewhat confused.

Jin Zijin gave a bitter smile and said, "Forget it, do what you like! You’re right, you always have to take care of yourself, and that’s good, too!"

Gu Youyou didn’t say a word for a long time after Jin Zijin finished speaking.

Reflecting on Jin Zijin’s words, Gu Youyou suddenly shivered!

His words... were telling her to take care of herself! Yes, once her illness was cured, she would have to take care of herself, but what about him?

Gu Youyou tentatively asked, "If my illness is cured, does that mean... you won’t take care of me anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Zijin raised his head, but his eyes didn’t meet hers; instead, he stared at the dishes on the table and sighed, "The future... I don’t know!"

Gu Youyou became anxious, suddenly stood up, and looking down from a higher position at Jin Zijin across the table, she said excitedly, "That won’t do, you are my husband, from the moment you carried me into your thatched cottage, you shouldn’t even think about getting rid of me, unless I die!"

Gu Youyou finished shouting resolutely, then felt that she was somewhat being unreasonable, even a bit strange!

Was she clinging to him?

But how could Gu Youyou cling to someone else? As long as Gu Youyou was alive, as long as she had breath in her body, no matter where she was, she didn’t need anyone and could live well. That’s what her modern-day grandfather used to say to her.

Yet the thought that Jin Zijin might leave Lotus Village after taking care of her for some reasons, that he might disappear from her life forever once he has completed those things, made her feel extremely uncomfortable!

She even thought that her illness had indeed recovered too quickly.

"Zijin!" Seeing that Jin Zijin remained silent for a long time, Gu Youyou softly called his name!

"Is that so?" she asked.

"Is it that once I’m cured, you’re going to leave?"

Jin Zijin avoided the topic, looked down, and started eating his rice, mumbling, "Don’t think too much, let’s talk about it once you’re cured!"

Gu Youyou closed her eyes in disappointment, feeling a sudden pang in her heart!

It seemed to be the case.

A moment later, as if she had come to an understanding, when she opened her eyes again, they had returned to normal, with a faint smile on her face!

She said, "Alright, your matters aren’t settled, and you won’t be leaving anytime soon. We’ll talk about it later!"

Whether it was Gu Youyou of the past or the Gu Youyou of now, there was a pride in her bones!

It’s just a man, after all. He took care of her for so long, she was grateful to him, and unwittingly, she admitted to herself that she liked him.

But it wasn’t as if he was irreplaceable, right?

Even if she wanted to keep him, there was plenty of time ahead; she had plenty of opportunities. Once she recovered, she would open her own doctor’s office, and once she earned enough silver... she would support him!
