Chapter 357: Chapter 367: If You Don’t Leave Me, I Won’t Leave You

The things she spoke of could certainly not be found in Gu Youyou; she was still so young. He thought, indeed, she was not Gu Youyou.

Jin Zijin’s expression was obscured in darkness, ambiguous to the observer.

"What is... traditional Chinese medicine, what is Western medicine?" With too many questions to ask, Jin Zijin chose this unfamiliar term.

Gu Youyou said, "The Qihuang Technique that we talk about is traditional Chinese medicine. The theory based on empirical evidence that I talked about last time to Yue Rujing is Western medicine."

He remembered the way Gu Youyou treated Yuancheng’s illness and, after some time, heard Jin Zijin mutter, "So it really is possible to treat illnesses that way."

Looking back at her, even though her appearance hadn’t changed at all, Jin Zijin felt like he was seeing through her, as if he were seeing another person—someone both familiar and foreign.

"Youyou!" Jin Zijin felt a sudden tightness in his heart because for an instant he felt she was so distant, as if she came from another world.

"Will you always stay here?"

He did not know why he suddenly asked such an irrelevant question. Perhaps it was because, for a moment, he felt she was very distant.

Gu Youyou said, "I have nowhere else to go, I will go wherever you go. Haven’t we agreed on that?"

At least that was how it was for now, unless he decided to abandon her. Otherwise, she really would have to keep following him.

If you do not abandon me, I will not leave.

Gu Youyou spoke to him casually, as they usually chatted. Hearing her words, Jin Zijin abruptly relaxed.

He curled his lips into a smile, his smile gradually spreading, instantly warming the entire room.

"Alright, I won’t ask who you are or where you come from anymore. I believe in your ’delusion’; from today onwards, you are just you, unrelated to your name or identity."

Gu Youyou was stunned and stared straight at him.

Jin Zijin waited with a warm smile for her response.

As time ticked away, Gu Youyou didn’t realize how long she had been in a daze until Banxia came out from the back courtyard, carrying a hot water basin with grace.

"Sister Youyou, you’ve been tired all day; take a wash to refresh yourself."

Gu Youyou gave Banxia five taels of silver a month, an opportunity that couldn’t be found elsewhere, even the maids in wealthy households weren’t worth that much.

So she felt she should be more diligent, do more work, to earn those five taels of silver.

Gu Youyou blinked her eyes, gradually coming back to her senses.

She had finally melted the heart of that extremely guarded man; she was finally able to occupy a place in his heart, and he was finally willing to trust her.

She said in a low voice, "My name is Gu Youyou." Then, she added, "I’m not lying to you."

Unknowingly, a blush crept onto her face, her words soft and gentle, like feathers brushing over his entire body.

Banxia tactfully placed the water down and retreated, returning to her own room in the back courtyard.

She had never been alone with a man, and the interaction between Gu Youyou and Jin Zijin instinctively made her feel embarrassed.

After Gu Youyou washed up, she then said to Jin Zijin, "You should wash up too; Banxia must have heated a lot of water."

"Mhm, you go up to rest first. There’ll be a lot to do tomorrow."

Tonight was destined to be an extraordinary night, although there had only been one patient for the grand opening, the onlookers had been numerous. They sneered or jeered or intentionally asked questions to embarrass her, but throughout it all, she faced it alone, always with a smiling face.

It was quite exhausting, but she just couldn’t sleep.
