Chapter: 1327 (2/2)

“Brother, have you forgotten the fact that I am a physician?” Qing Shui laughed. This could hardly amount to anything.

“Brother, go upstairs and tend to your wounds. Don’t delay,” Li Ji also urged Qing Shui.

Qing Shui turned around and nodded at Old Man Puyang and the rest before he went back into Imperial Cuisine Hall.

Not long after that, Old Master Li and Li Yan also came to see Qing Shui too. They were there just now too. Qing Shui was a little overwhelmed by emotions when he saw Li Yan. There was a trace of sentiment from his previous world imprinted on his mind that he just couldn’t wipe off.

In his previous world, she could be considered a beauty. Although not the most beautiful in Qing Shui’s eyes, he definitely liked this type of woman the most. The ladies he met after coming to this world like Shi Qingzhuang, Canghai Mingyue, Di Chen and Yiye Jiange possessed beauty that was unattainable even through makeup and cosmetics in his previous world. There was still a great disparity between their beauty and photos that had been filtered and photoshopped. Even with these women in his possession, he still couldn’t wipe away his fondness when he saw this girl who greatly resembled the girl he had adored in his previous life.

She had a pair of huge and very bright eyes that were slightly moist. She had an amazing voice too, just like her. Qing Shui was aware that this was not the same girl from his previous world, just like that man back in the five continents who looked just like big brother. But even if he wasn’t him, Qing Shui still bestowed upon him an opportunity that was enough to change the rest of his life.

Now that he had met this girl from Li Clan, he thought he could very quickly forget about this girl. After all, she wasn’t her. She only looked like her. He didn’t adore that girl from his previous world solely due to her appearance but as a person and the type of feeling that she gave off.

“Sir Qing, are you alright?”Li Yan wasn’t aware of the thoughts running through Qing Shui’s mind. She was only asking in a slightly worried tone. By the time she arrived, Qing Shui had already finished tending to his wounds, cleaned up and changed his clothes. He didn’t even lie down.

“Miss Yan’er, I am a physician. What could this minor injury possibly mean? Thank you for checking on me.”

At this very moment, Qing Shui saw a very familiar expression on her face and suddenly recalled the scene where she bent over to help him tie his shoelace back in his previous world. During that moment, he had wanted to embrace her so badly but he couldn’t do that. He indeed had too many regrets in his previous life.

Li Yan was taken aback when he saw Qing Shui. The very complicated expression on his face flustered her and caused her to avert her gaze from him. Qing Shui smiled and asked her to take a seat. Old Master Li was sitting on the couch and chatting with Soulsearch and the rest.

The fifth floor was a private area that was only accessible with permission.

“You’re welcome. I should be the one thanking you,” Li Yan regained her composure as she gently chuckled.

“You bear strong resemblance to a friend of mine,” Qing Shui commented with a smile.

“What friend?” Li Yan was intrigued.

“A very close friend.”

“Who looks very much like me? Can I meet her then?” Li Yan seemed to be very curious about it.

“I might never be able to find her again. She has vanished from my world.” Qing Shui didn’t know how to feel when he said that.

“I’m so sorry!”

“It’s fine. I’m already used to it. It’s been a few decades already.” Qing Shui pondered for a moment. He still couldn’t forget about her even though a few decades had passed. He wondered if Li Yan had misunderstood his words. To be honest, it was more like he had vanished from her world.

“Oh, then that means she is way older than me,” Li Yan chuckled.

Qing Shui shook his head. In his heart, that girl was forever frozen at that age because his memory had stopped at that point in time. He didn’t tell her that but instead, he changed the subject and talked to Li Yan about something else.

For this girl, Qing Shui would no longer deliberately pursue her. If she was really that girl from his previous life, then he would definitely not let her slip away again. It was a pity that the one standing before him merely resembled her in appearance only.

But sometimes, humans were visual creatures. Even though he clearly knew she wasn’t the same girl, his heart still subconsciously saw her as a substitute and both of them were gradually overlapping. He wasn’t sure if this could be considered a form of substitution. Was it really possible to completely replace a person?

After a few interactions, both of them had pretty much gotten used to each other. Their conversation flowed as how it would be with the girl-next-door and they were also very comfortable conversing with each other.

The smile on Old Master Li’s face broadened when he saw Qing Shui was having a pleasant chat with Li Yan. However, he was aware that this young Miraculous Doctor wasn’t an ordinary person. Although his girl was beautiful, the Li Clan’s background was much too inferior compared to Qing Shui. If his little girl was from the main branch of Li Clan, then perhaps there might still be some hope.

……

In just a few days, Qing Shui had treated many patients. They were mainly people with quite a profound clan background. There was also a volunteer medical consultation once a week at the Imperial Cuisine Hall. His reputation as a Miraculous Physician was spread around, not only that, he was also known as the benevolent physician.

Thus, countless people were attracted to this place due to its reputation…

Before he realized it, Qing Shui found himself in a very profound position. The members of Imperial Cuisine Hall’s fourth floor had increased very significantly compared to before. Most of them were clans that were on par with Li Clan’s main branch and Sikong Clan and of course, the Puyang Clan, Dugu Clan and some others. Qing Shui had already walked into their field of view.

That little girl from Puyang Clan was finally cured today. Old Man Puyang happily looked at Qing Shui. “When you have children, shall we engage them to each other?”

Qing Shui was taken aback before he smiled. “I am very fond of your little girl, Zhengming. If you are willing to, I have no objection either. I’m just worried that if the two of them can’t get along well when they grow up, they might blame us.”
