Chapter 567 - 464: King Qi Is Truly a Bastard

A new member has joined the Lin Clan’s medical lessons.

Xu Qixi still felt a bit embarrassed, clearly quite nervous. But Sun Youwei, as the future lady of the Lin House, showed a poised demeanor.

This girl had attended Lin Miao’s lessons before, just hadn’t adjusted to her change in status.

Moreover, the Xu Family surprisingly allowed her to stay at the Lin House, not needing to go home at night.

Evidently, the Xu Family already considered her a married daughter. What’s more, a married daughter living with her husband’s family is only natural!

Theoretically, even if something real happens between her and Lin Miao, the Xu Family wouldn’t say anything.

Thinking of this, Xu Qixi’s cheeks flushed immediately, sitting there fiddling with her fingers nervously. She didn’t catch a word of what Lin Miao was saying.

"Little Qixi?""

"Huh?" Xu Qixi looked up and glanced around blankly, not knowing why she got called out.

"Come up and explain to everyone your understanding of what I just talked about?" Lin Miao could obviously see this girl was distracted and deliberately singled her out.

Being distracted in his class? Unbelievable.

Xu Qixi was instantly petrified; she hadn’t heard a thing. How could she get called out? Stuttering, her face turned pale with anxiety.

Seeing Xu Qixi like this, Lin Miao suddenly felt a hint of regret; he shouldn’t have treated the girl this way. If she truly marries into the family later, how will they get along?

"Alright, Little Qixi, sit down. Listen carefully and don’t get distracted again."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qixi’s eyes immediately brimmed with tears, tears streaming down as emotions of remorse, grievance, and unknown feelings surged in her heart.

This...

Sun Youwei stood up, glared fiercely at Lin Miao, then went over to hug Xu Qixi tightly: "Little Qixi, it’s alright, don’t cry. It’s just being distracted in class, not a huge mistake. I’ll give you my notes later."

Lin Miao could only give a wry smile; it truly wasn’t a big issue. He didn’t mean to do anything to Xu Qixi, just wanted to remind her not to waste his medical lessons that others are dying to attend.

Xu Qixi’s tears wouldn’t stop once they started. Who says women aren’t made this way? Absolutely spot-on.

Perhaps she was truly feeling aggrieved, or maybe some emotions needed release, Xu Qixi cried like a little tear doll.

Looks like this session won’t continue, it must be paused.

Xia Zhu felt a bit awkward since it was a matter involving her master and his family, even if this young mistress was younger than her in age, her seniority was there. As the senior apprentice, she couldn’t really say much and had to politely excuse herself.

With Xia Zhu, the "outsider," gone, Xu Qixi managed to stop crying under Sun Youwei’s comfort, even falling asleep like this?

Sun Youwei was dumbfounded.

Lin Miao also spread his hands, not knowing what had happened.

However, an experienced doctor could determine a person’s condition by feeling the pulse, but who would randomly play with pulse reading?

Yet Xu Qixi’s current state was clearly not normal.

Lin Miao gestured for Sun Youwei to pick Xu Qixi up and lay her on a soft couch. The girl was sleeping soundly; such a big movement didn’t even wake her.

Lin Miao walked over and placed three fingers on her left wrist’s pulse.

After a moment, he couldn’t help but reveal a bizarre expression.

"What’s the matter?"

"Senior Sister, you come here?" Lin Miao didn’t reply, directly inviting his senior sister to examine her.

Sun Youwei revealed an astonished expression and also reached out to feel the pulse, exclaiming, "Overthinking, emotional breakdown..."

Lin Miao gently nodded.

"How is that possible? At her age, what worries could she possibly have?"

Lin Miao’s old face turned slightly red; he lived for decades in his past life. While he hadn’t eaten pork, he had certainly seen pigs run. Moreover, he saw countless people and cases that resembled a certain disease. But facing his senior sister, he was embarrassed to speak up.

"Infatuation?" Sun Youwei was intelligent enough to look left and right, immediately guessing the situation.

"Just know and don’t say it out loud." Lin Miao sheepishly smiled. Xu Qixi had deeply fallen for him; were it not for his agreement to this marriage proposal, who knows what illness the girl might have developed from repressed feelings.

This crying indeed released emotions, which was a good thing.

What could he say?

Blame his own damned charm!

In the future, he should minimize contact with girls; pretty ones he might still manage, but encountering an unattractive one hell-bent on marrying him, that would be trouble.

Sun Youwei’s bright eyes couldn’t help but twist as she gave him a fierce glance. Such an outstanding man was definitely not a boon to his women.

Yet, she couldn’t lock him at home, which would lose its meaning. Helplessly, she could only watch over him more carefully in the future.

"Little Qixi is quite proud; although you agreed to marry her, you never really expressed your feelings, which might be why her mind is unsettled," Sun Youwei said. Being a woman herself, she naturally understood a girl’s thoughts.

If it were her, she wouldn’t want a man to marry her just out of pity; she’d rather not marry at all, as a marriage begged for is never happy.

"I understand. Go rest now, I’ll take care of this." Lin Miao nodded. As a doctor, psychology was naturally within his studies.

"Take good care of her and mind your words to Little Qixi."

"Mm, you go."
