Chapter 148 The Old Way By The River
When Mother Wu heard her daughter's words, she immediately agreed.
She wants to live in the world of two people, so she, as a mother, will naturally not obstruct it.
But after leaving Wu's house, the two didn't go to eat.
The two strolled by the river near Wu's house for a while.
It was getting late, and it was time for dinner.
There are many people walking by the river, in twos and threes, most of them are lovers.
Chen Xiao and Wu Fei'er walked together, they could be called a man of talent and a woman of appearance, they were a good couple.
Especially Wu Fei'er, whose demeanor remained the same as before, and attracted countless eyes.
"Chen Xiao, I really don't know how to thank you. I really want to say, I am willing to do anything you ask me to do, but you don't seem to need me to do anything."
Wu Fei'er said with a wry smile.
Chen Xiao left the hospital in a hurry that day, and Wu Fei'er didn't even have time to thank Chen Xiao properly.
But then again, what can she thank Chen Xiao for?
Chen Xiao even rejected her most proud beauty, she really couldn't offer more.
Chen Xiao pretended to be sullen: "Wu Fei'er, I'll be angry if you say that again, I'm not trying to help you."
Wu Fei'er smiled even more bitterly. It was because Chen Xiao didn't want her anything, which made her feel that she owed Chen Xiao even more.
Chen Xiao seemed to see through Wu Fei'er's thoughts, and continued: "And don't forget, I'm a doctor, saving lives and helping the wounded is just my job, you don't need to feel that you owe me anything..."
But as he talked, Chen Xiao couldn't bear to continue talking.
Because he suddenly remembered that Wu Fei'er was originally a doctor.
It was only because of money that she was forced to change careers.
Sure enough, Chen Xiao found that Wu Fei'er's expression was a little lonely at the moment.
He quickly changed the subject: "By the way, why didn't you go to work today?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it again, because he found that what he said somewhat poked Wu Fei'er's lungs.
But fortunately, Wu Fei'er was not angry, she even smiled and said very easily: "I resigned!"
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment: "How can you just resign?"
Wu Fei'er smiled, and said, "I did that job for money, you don't think I like it, do you?"
"Now my mother's illness does not require me to work hard to make money, and I have saved some money in the past two years. I don't need to think about money for the time being, so I will resign!"
"Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for all of this..."
Well, after a circle, the topic came back again.
Chen Xiao thought about it, and asked her cautiously: "Then what are your plans in the future? Have you ever thought about going back to the hospital to be a doctor?"
Wu Fei'er's eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, I dream about it even in my dreams, I don't lie to you, I often dream that I am still a doctor in my dreams, but, alas..."
Wu Fei'er sighed, the light in her eyes dimmed.
"To be honest, I submitted resumes to several hospitals, but the results were not good. I didn't even have an interview opportunity, so I was rejected. Maybe it was because of my previous experience."
Chen Xiao asked: "Have you voted in Jiang Cheng Hospital?"
"I voted, but I haven't replied yet." Wu Fei'er said.
Chen Xiao said: "Then let me ask the director of our hospital for you. As long as your level is still there, I believe Jiang Cheng Hospital will not reject you."
Wu Fei'er's eyes lit up again: "Really, Chen Xiao? If it's true, you've done me a big favor again, I really don't know..."
"How can I thank you? Isn't it?"
Before Wu Fei'er could finish speaking, Chen Xiao spoke the second half of the sentence.
Wu Fei'er burst out laughing, and gave Chen a smile, full of flair.
"You hate!"
The room between the two suddenly became much more relaxed, talking and laughing, and even the atmosphere in the air became a little more cheerful.
However, at this moment, Wu Fei'er's whole body tensed up suddenly, and she lowered her voice and said, "Chen Xiao, something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
Wu Fei'er gestured to the rear with her eyes.
"Did you see that man over there? An old Taoist dressed like a beggar. He has been following us for a long time. He was behind us ten minutes ago, and he has been following us until now!"
Chen Xiao deliberately pretended to be surprised: "Really? You must have read it wrong, right?"
He didn't expect Wu Fei'er to be so vigilant, but in fact, he had already discovered this old Taoist priest.
In fact, Chen Xiao noticed him when he just walked out of Wu's house.
He kept silent all the time, just worried that Wu Fei'er would be afraid.
As soon as Wu Fei'er heard that Chen Xiao didn't quite believe her, she became anxious immediately, and stomped her feet and said, "Really, the distance between him and us ten minutes ago is almost the same as it is now!"
Chen Xiao patted the back of Wu Fei'er's hand as a sign of comfort: "Don't be afraid, I'll go over and ask to see what's going on with him?"
"Ah? Are you going to ask directly? Isn't this too reckless?"
Just when Wu Fei'er was worried, Chen Xiao had already walked over.
Seeing Chen Xiao approaching, the old Taoist not only didn't intend to dodge, but even smiled at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao walked in front of him and asked very politely: "Master, you have been following me, why do you not know?"
The old Taoist smiled and said: "The benefactor has good eyesight, but the benefactor does not need to be afraid, the poor Taoist just wants to ask the benefactor for alms."
Chen Xiao sneered: "Begging? Isn't it a debt collector?"
The old Taoist's complexion changed slightly, but he quickly covered it up with a smile.
"Debt collection? Benefactor, I don't know what the benefactor is talking about. You and I have never seen it before. How can the benefactor owe the debt to the poor?"
"Since the benefactor is unwilling to donate to the poor, then the poor will leave, benefactor, there will be a time later!"
After speaking, the old Taoist really walked away slowly.
Chen Xiao didn't go after him either. He returned to Wu Fei'er, and Wu Fei'er hurriedly asked, "Chen Xiao, what's going on? Why did he leave?"
"Nothing happened, just an old beggar who didn't follow us. You are worrying too much. Well, it's getting late. I'll take you home."
Chen Xiao casually thought of an excuse and prevaricated.
Although Wu Fei'er was suspicious, but Chen Xiao said so, she didn't ask any more questions.
It's just that when we parted, Chen Xiao gave her an amulet, saying it was for self-defense and very effective.
Wu Fei'er saw that the jade pendant was valuable, so she refused, but Chen Xiao couldn't bear it and forced it into her hand, so she finally had to accept it.
After Chen Xiao left Wu's house, he immediately closed his eyes and started sensing.
When the old Taoist left just now, Chen Xiao quietly cast a tracking spell on him.
As long as the old Taoist is within a hundred kilometers of him, Chen Xiao can track it down!
