The window on the backseat of the vehicle wound down and Shui Junzhuo's face appeared. Her hair was tied together with two bundles of hair draped from her temples. Her delicate nose, bright pupils, rosy lips, and face with makeup while in the vehicle shone with an indescribable charm.
"Get in." Shui Junzhuo opened the door and s.h.i.+fted inside the car, giving him the seat.
Getting into the vehicle, Su Tao's heart tingled when he felt the lingering warmth on the cus.h.i.+on and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"If I was not here, did you think that you could come out unharmed?" Shui Junzhuo helplessly rolled her eyes at Su Tao. Despite how friendly Su Tao seemed on the surface, it turned out that he's bold deep in his bones, since he dared to enter Sire Wu's house alone.
"He's just an old man. Since I dared to come alone, I naturally have some confidence." Su Tao smiled. But he soon felt that he might hurt Shui Junzhuo's feelings and continued, "But I still have to thank you and Sire Shui for your concern."
Shui Junzhuo handed a nicely packaged box over and said without looking at Su Tao's face, "You've treated my grandfather's illness, and our whole family owes you one. This is a small gift for you."
"Thanks, this is probably the first time that I've received this kind of gift." Su Tao took the box and his hand moved to open it.
However, his actions were soon interrupted by Shui Junzhuo. "Open it after we separate."
Su Tao smiled and placed the box in the highest compartment of his medical box. "Then let's preserve the mystery for now."
Shui Junzhuo felt her body heating up with beads of sweat on her nose. This was the first time that she has given a gift to someone of the opposite s.e.x, so she tried to change the topic, "Did you come all the way here over a thousand miles just to bring justice to Zhao Hei?"
"Well, I'm not that n.o.ble." Su Tao shook his head as he continued, "I only feel that if I did not retaliate now and squash a threat; he might send people over to hara.s.s me."
"You're really a complicated person." Shui Junzhuo sighed, "Sire Wu's foundation is out of your imagination, since he could be a symbolic figure in Jidong Province for so many years."
Su Tao smiled. "Well, aren't I pretty lucky? Since Sire Shui came out to help me."
Shui Junzhuo glanced at Su Tao with complicated emotions. For some reason, she had a feeling that her arrival was within his plans, and it might be because of knowing that Sire Shui would come to bail him out, which was the reason why he fearlessly caused havoc.
After Shui Junzhuo sent him to the airport, the two of them ate an overpriced lunch before they separated.
After looking at Su Tao's leaving silhouette, only then did Shui Junzhuo walk back to the vehicle.
Xia Yu had already noticed Su Tao and he winked his eyes. "Who's that girl who has fallen for our Divine Physician Su?"
"This is a personal charm, something that you will never understand!" Su Tao shrugged his shoulder as he bragged.
When the plane took off, only then did Su Tao start to open the box and saw a cla.s.sical golden watch lying in it. Although it was well-maintained, some scratches could be seen upon close examination, showing the age of this watch. There was also a slip of paper beneath the watch that said, "How I wish for me to be the stars, and you're the moon as our radiance s.h.i.+nes in the sky."
Reading the note, Su Tao felt a tickling sensation in his heart and sighed. He never expected that Shui Junzhuo would be so artistic. Not only did she give him a watch, she even wrote him a love poem. Wasn't this the rhythm that she wanted to woo him?
He took a long time to calm his restless heart and tried to pretend that nothing had happened.
When Xia Yu tried to get Su Tao into a conversation, as if he had something he wanted to say, he hesitated. Su Tao had sensed it and smiled. "Don't hesitate here and there, speak if anything is going through your mind."
"Hehe." Xia Yu scratched his head as he asked, "I'd like to ask you a professional question. Is Hepat.i.tis B only able to be controlled and not treated?"
