Chapter 974
Don't Talk Nonsense
However, Xu Bo'an did not directly tell Bai Susu what he was thinking. If he did, it would be awkward for both of them, regardless of whether his guess was right or wrong.
After recovering, Bai Susu said to Xu Bo'an, "I wasn't agitated, I just choked on my food. It seems I should talk less while eating!"
Xu Bo'an followed Bai Susu's words and said, "You're right, let's eat quickly, or it will get cold!"
Bai Susu nodded, and then the only sounds that could be heard in the room were the sounds of the two eating.
After dinner, Bai Susu, as usual, told Xu Bo'an to go and rest first, while she washed the dishes alone in the kitchen.
While washing the dishes, Bai Susu pondered Xu Bo'an's words. Could it be that she had truly fallen deeply in love with him? It shouldn't be that bad. Perhaps it was because she had recently become Xu Bo'an's apprentice and frequently visited his home to consult him on medical matters, leading to this inexplicable feeling.
Although Bai Susu feels that she is getting on in years and it is time to face her feelings, she will take the initiative if she meets someone she likes. However, if her feelings for Xu Bo'an are just a misconception and she only realizes it after taking the initiative, it will be difficult to handle the situation. After all, it is not easy to "commit a crime" between acquaintances.
Bai Susu decided that after learning medical knowledge from Xu Bo'an today, she would not see him for at least half a month. During this time, she would examine her own heart. If she found that she had truly fallen in love with Xu Bo'an, then Bai Susu would express her love to him without hesitation.
After figuring this out, Bai Susu unconsciously glanced at Xu Bo'an, who was sitting on the sofa outside. Xu Bo'an was drinking tea at the moment, and his gaze happened to be looking towards the kitchen.
In an instant, their eyes met. The moment Bai Susu's gaze met Xu Bo'an's, she quickly turned her head away, her delicate face blushing involuntarily. After that, she dared not look at Xu Bo'an again and began to concentrate on washing the dishes.
After washing the dishes, Bai Susu rested in the guest room for a while before going with Xu Bo'an to the room where she studied medicine in depth.
For the entire afternoon, Xu Bo'an taught Bai Susu medical knowledge, and the day's learning did not end until it was dark at night.
Bai Susu packed her things and said goodbye to Xu Bo'an. Xu Bo'an had just seen Bai Susu to the door when he saw Zhao Yuntao driving back.
Xu Bo'an said to Bai Susu, "Wait a while, have dinner at my house before you leave!"
Bai Susu was a little puzzled after hearing Xu Bo'an's words. After finishing her studies, Bai Susu told Xu Bo'an that she would make him dinner and they could eat together before going home. Xu Bo'an said that he was not very hungry today and that he was quite tired after studying all day, so he told Bai Susu to go home early. Why was he asking her to stay at his house for dinner now?
Just as Bai Susu was thinking this, Xu Bo'an called out to Zhao Yuntao, who was driving. Zhao Yuntao wanted to pretend he couldn't hear him, but Xu Bo'an's voice was very loud. If he said he couldn't hear him, it would be obvious that he was deliberately refusing Xu Bo'an. He dared not do that. Otherwise, let alone getting antiques from Xu Bo'an for free in the future, he probably wouldn't be willing to sell them to him even if he spent a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuntao quickly stopped the car and replied to Xu Bo'an, "Did you call me because you need something?"
Xu Bo'an rolled his eyes at Zhao Yuntao and teased, "I called you three times before you answered. If you hadn't answered, I would have thought you were deaf or disabled!"
Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhao Yuntao chuckled and said, "No, no, I'm not deaf! It was just that the noise outside was too loud, and I wasn't paying attention, so I didn't hear you. When I heard someone call me and saw it was you, I was so excited that I answered immediately." Xu Bo'an didn't believe Zhao Yuntao's nonsense. He chuckled and said to Zhao Yuntao, "Oh, whether you're excited to see me or not isn't important. The main thing is that I'm relieved you're not deaf! Hurry up and park the car, then come over here!"
Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhao Yuntao thought that Xu Bo'an calling him was definitely not for anything good; he was absolutely asking him to fulfill their bet. Zhao Yuntao felt utterly miserable. If it were a single woman, he might have been happy to do so, but to be a free babysitter for a grown man like Xu Bo'an was something he was reluctant to do.
But since he had lost the bet, he had to follow the rules. However, Zhao Yuntao did not show his sorrow on his face. Instead, he suppressed his sadness and looked at Xu Bo'an with what he thought was a bright smile. In reality, Xu Bo'an knew very well that Zhao Yuntao's forced smile was really ugly.
Zhao Yuntao said to Xu Bo'an, "Okay, I'll be right there!"
A short while later, Zhao Yuntao arrived at the entrance of Xu Bo'an's villa and said to Xu Bo'an with an ugly smile, "Brother, did you call me because of something important?"
Xu Bo'an mimicked Zhao Yuntao's smile and said to him, "What do you think?"
Looking at Xu Bo'an's strange smile, Zhao Yuntao said, "Brother, does your smile have to be so eerie? It's giving me the creeps!"
Xu Bo'an said, "Really? My smile is exactly what you look like. If you don't believe me, go home and look in the mirror. Your smile is even weirder than mine!"
Zhao Yuntao understood his own feelings better than anyone else, and of course knew that what Xu Bo'an said was true. He looked at Xu Bo'an with an awkward smile and said, "Alright, alright, I completely believe what you say. Let's go inside and talk quickly. Don't stand here at the door. There are so many mosquitoes at night!"
Zhao Yuntao was very afraid that Xu Bo'an would reveal that he wanted Zhao Yuntao to be Xu Bo'an's full-time male nanny. He was afraid that it would be embarrassing if someone heard about it, so he urged Xu Bo'an to come inside.
Xu Bo'an smiled and said to Zhao Yuntao, "Come in!"
The three then returned to Xu Bo'an's villa.
Zhao Yuntao then spoke frankly to Xu Bo'an, saying, "Brother, you and Dr. Bai, the beautiful lady, had a wonderful time alone together. Wouldn't calling me over ruin your time together?"
Upon hearing Zhao Yuntao's words, Bai Susu immediately lowered her head shyly.
Seeing Bai Susu's shy expression, Xu Bo'an slapped Zhao Yuntao on the head and said, "With your brain, all you think about are nonsensical things. Susu is right here, don't talk nonsense!" (End of Chapter)
