Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 190 Ambiguity

Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, the old dean's eyes twitched involuntarily, because he gleaned an important piece of information from Lu Yang's words: this grade-three pill was actually personally refined by the other party.

Moreover, in the eyes of the other party, it was still a very low-grade pill.

From these words, the old dean instantly guessed that the doctor in front of him might actually be a genuine alchemy master.

Upon anticipating this outcome, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed for his beloved granddaughter, who had truly struck it lucky this time, not only becoming an apprentice of an acupuncture master but also an alchemy master.

He decided that he would give his precious granddaughter some private advice later, telling her that she should learn acupuncture from Lu Yang properly in the future.

They even need to cultivate a good master-disciple relationship in the future, even if the jockey later destroys their ancestral lineage.

In this way, Lu Yang might even be able to pass on his precious granddaughter the art of alchemy, transforming their family from an ordinary family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners into an alchemy family.

The others, based on Lu Yang's words, roughly guessed that Lu Yang might be an alchemist.

Seeing Lu Yang about to throw such a precious pill on the ground, Shi Min immediately grabbed it tightly in her hand, but still said to Lu Yang with great gratitude, "Thank you for the gift, Master. I like it very much!"

Lu Yang nodded: "I'm glad you like it. Let's exchange contact information now. If I have time, I'll teach you some acupuncture techniques, and a few other things!"

Shi Min nodded, took out her phone, and quickly exchanged contact information with Lu Yang.

Then, Lu Yang said to Li Lixin beside him, "Teacher Li, let's leave here now!"

"I need your help with something else!"

Li Lixin quickly packed her things, went downstairs to complete the discharge procedures, and then left the hospital with her mother.

Once outside the hospital, Li Lixin couldn't help but ask Lu Yang curiously, "Xiao Yang, I never imagined your medical skills were so amazing! It seems you can also refine elixirs?"

Lu Yang nodded and said, "These were all taught to me by that strange old man when I was in college!"

He then turned to Li Lixin and said, "Teacher Li, the reason I met you not long ago is because I was going to Brilliant Design Company to find someone to help me design the architectural plans for a small villa. I'm planning to build a small villa for my family!"

"Since you're good at design, why don't you help me design a small villa, and then you can help me contact a construction team? Is that alright?"

Li Lixin knew a bit about Lu Yang's family situation. She was surprised that Lu Yang had made so much money so quickly after his mind returned to normal.

She couldn't help but be happy for Lu Yang, and nodded with a smile, saying, "Little Yang, there's no problem at all!"

"I was just wondering how to thank you for your repeated kindnesses, and now I've got the perfect idea: I've designed the blueprints for a villa that's just right for you, and I've also found you a top-notch construction team to help you build it!"

"I've helped you with all of this for free; it's a small way of thanking you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang shook his head and refused, saying, "Teacher Li, you don't need to do this. Anyway, I'll have to pay to find other people, and I certainly can't do it for free with you. If you really want it for free, then I'll just have to find someone else!"

Seeing Lu Yang's serious expression, Li Lixin felt helpless and could only reluctantly nod, saying, "Xiao Yang, then I'll do as you say!"

She thought to herself, "Since Xiaoyang doesn't want me to design the blueprints for him for free, does he expect me to repay him in some other way?"

"If that's true, then... then let's find an opportunity to properly repay them..."

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and an unprecedented blush appeared on her mature and beautiful face. She couldn't help but steal a few glances at the other person.

She then realized that Lu Yang was no longer the boy she remembered, but a tall, handsome, and more mature young man.

They were no longer master and apprentice; they were just ordinary acquaintances.

Lu Yang didn't want Li Lixin to do it for free because he knew she was currently in dire financial straits and needed a source of income.

The other party took good care of him when he was studying, and he is now doing this as a way of repaying them.

However, he suddenly noticed that a very alluring blush had inexplicably risen on the other person's beautiful cheeks, which puzzled him. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Teacher Li, what happened to your face?"

Upon hearing this, Li Lixin suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly tried to cover it up, saying shyly, "Um... Xiaoyang, I'm fine, I just suddenly felt a little hot..."

When Li Lixin said this, she wished she could just disappear into a crack in the ground.

The more she thought about it, the more inexplicably she got into a deeper state of thinking...

At this moment, Li Lixin's mother invited Lu Yang, "Xiao Yang, thank you for treating my illness this time. Our family doesn't have much to repay you with right now. Why don't you come to our house now, and I'll cook you a nice meal? What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Li Lixin immediately smiled charmingly and invited, "Xiaoyang, since my mother has invited you, why don't you come to our house for a simple meal?"

"My mom's cooking is so delicious!"

Unable to refuse such hospitality, Lu Yang had no choice but to agree, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"

Afterwards, Li Lixin hailed a taxi, and Lu Yang followed behind on his tricycle. They soon arrived at an old, dilapidated house in an old alley in Jiangcheng.

This is a two-bedroom apartment, a small apartment of only about 50 square meters.

Although it looks rather dilapidated from the outside, the inside is quite clean and tidy, and looks very comfortable.

Li Lixin's mother said to Lu Yang, "Xiao Yang, you and Lixin stay home and watch TV and chat. I'm going out to buy some vegetables!"

With that, he left the house with his vegetable basket.

After leaving the two of them alone, for some unknown reason, the entire room suddenly fell silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat eerie.

To ease the inexplicable awkwardness she felt, Li Lixin quickly got up, took two bottles of water from the refrigerator, and gave one to Lu Yang, saying, "Xiao Yang, um... have some water!"

Lu Yang took it and gulped down a mouthful. Just as he was about to break the awkward silence, there was a sudden knock on the door.
