Chapter 103 Linglong Sees Through the Deliberate Joke
1. With keen insight, one can see through people's hearts.
Su Wanjing stood quietly by the corridor in the courtyard, her slender fingertips unconsciously twirling the hem of her clothes.
Her eyes darted around, not daring to look directly into the hall, only occasionally glancing up to steal a quick glance.
Her gaze had just landed on Chen Shanhe and Murong Fangxiang when she hurriedly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
The awkwardness and unease in his eyes were completely written all over his face; he couldn't hide it at all.
Murong Fangxiang had just turned to the side and finished speaking quietly with Chen Shanhe about the important business of checking accounts.
With a quick glance, she caught sight of Su Wanjing standing under the eaves.
She clearly saw every evasive glance, every awkward movement, and every barely suppressed expression on Su Wanjing's face.
Murong Fangxiang subtly curled a faint, sly smile at the corner of her mouth.
She didn't need to ask questions or try to guess; she could simply rely on a evasive look and restrained body language.
In an instant, he saw through Su Wanjing's hidden jealousy and her unspoken, secretly conflicted feelings.
She could see through people's emotions at a glance; her mind was clear and bright, without the slightest mistake.
She calmly lowered her head, slowly closed the ledger in her hands, and gently straightened the messy pages with her fingertips.
Deep down, she already knew the truth. She asked herself honestly, and realized that she had always had only a sincere friendship with Chen Shanhe, treating him like a close friend and a sister.
I deeply admire this person's character, integrity, and unparalleled medical skills. He is wholeheartedly devoted to helping with miscellaneous tasks and has never had any romantic or illicit thoughts.
She had long ago found a kindred spirit in him, a man of upright character and a steady, reliable nature, with whom she had already secretly pledged her love.
In this life, I will only cherish the one I love and will never have any inappropriate thoughts about anyone else.
Murong Fangxiang slowly raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping lightly over Su Wanjing, who stood quietly to the side, lost in thought.
A mischievous and lively glint flashed across his eyes, and he suddenly found the way this gentle girl was secretly being difficult to be funny and adorable.
As evidenced by the poem
A keen eye for understanding people's hearts
He secretly sensed Qingrou's deep jealousy.
I have seen through all thoughts and feelings.
He understood but remained silent, lost in thought.
Second, knowing that one's heart is open and selfless.
Murong Fangxiang raised her hand and gently placed the account book on the corner of the consultation table, her posture calm and graceful.
She turned to look at Chen Shanhe with a frank and natural tone, without any deliberate restraint.
"The origin of the next batch of wild medicinal herbs has changed, so I need to contact the suppliers in advance to avoid supply shortages before the expiration date."
Chen Shanhe raised his eyes and responded calmly, his expression peaceful and composed.
"As long as everything is handled carefully, you can make the arrangements yourself."
The two engaged in a question-and-answer session, speaking frankly and openly, their behavior reflecting a completely aboveboard and honest way of interacting.
There was not a trace of ambiguity or coyness, not a trace of overstepping boundaries; everything was pure, honest, and straightforward.
As Murong Fangxiang spoke, she kept glancing at Su Wanjing not far away out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing that the other person stiffened slightly after hearing the conversation, and lowered their head and pursed their lips without saying a word.
In an instant, he realized that Su Wanjing was truly preoccupied with his feelings and was secretly throwing a tantrum.
She was open and honest, and believed that she acted with integrity and always maintained proper boundaries in her interactions with others.
I have never deliberately approached or provoked anyone, nor have I ever intentionally tried to steal anything from them.
Seeing Su Wanjing's gentle and reserved demeanor, silently suppressing her jealousy, she was truly innocent and adorable.
She was just like a little girl throwing a tantrum, secretly agonizing over her feelings but unwilling to say it out loud.
As evidenced by the poem
With an open and selfless heart,
Interact with each other with a pure and honest heart.
Knowing where one's heart truly lies amidst the cold and warmth of life.
Avoid getting involved in worldly affairs.
Third, the desire to amuse arises from the heart.
Murong Fangxiang slowly withdrew her gaze from the distance, and gently straightened the slightly wrinkled sleeves in front of her.
A smile, barely concealed, slowly spread across his lips, his eyes brimming with a lively and mischievous expression.
She lowered her head and coughed lightly, steadily suppressing the laughter surging in her heart. She pretended to be nonchalant, her demeanor still graceful and poised, showing no sign of anything amiss.
She secretly hatched a plan, and a mischievous idea popped into her head.
She had absolutely no intention of deliberately avoiding suspicion or distancing herself from Chen Shanhe; on the contrary, she did the exact opposite.
Seeing Su Wanjing silently holding back her feelings and acting reserved and timid, she couldn't help but want to tease her a little and see how this gentle girl was secretly feeling awkward.
Murong Fangxiang took two steps forward and walked directly to Chen Shanhe's side, bending down slightly.
Her slender fingertips lightly tapped the list of medicinal herbs spread out on the table, and she naturally leaned slightly closer.
She controlled the volume of her voice, speaking in a light and cheerful tone, each word clear, just enough for Su Wanjing, who was standing outside the corridor, to hear every single one.
"Currently, the clinic is still missing a few rare main medicines, and pharmacies in the city simply cannot find the supply."
"I've already asked an acquaintance in the deep mountains to help me go into the mountains to collect them, and they'll all be delivered over in a few days."
Chen Shanhe lowered his eyes and gazed at the list of medicinal herbs on the table. Hearing this, he nodded slightly, his voice gentle and steady.
"Thank you for your hard work in running around and arranging everything so meticulously. I really appreciate it."
The two looked down at the list, chatting quietly as they discussed various matters related to the purchase of medicinal herbs.
Compared to the past, their words and actions are more enthusiastic and familiar, and their interactions are natural and close.
Murong Fangxiang deliberately put on a bright smile, her eyebrows and eyes curving, and her tone of voice became increasingly familiar and casual.
She had long seen through Su Wanjing's hidden jealousy, but she didn't expose it or point it out in the slightest.
With such composure, he calmly chatted and discussed matters with Chen Shanhe in front of Su Wanjing.
She deliberately acted so intimately and warmly, intentionally teasing the sensitive and gentle Su Wanjing.
I just want to quietly watch the other person feel uneasy, their heart aches and they struggle, but because of their pride, they dare not speak and can only silently endure it. I find it particularly interesting.
As evidenced by the poem
Seeing through the biased and unclear path,
The heart is interesting and secretly amusing.
Deliberately approaching calmly,
This stirred up a deep resentment in her heart.
IV. Playfully tease and win tenderness
Murong Fangxiang was talking to Chen Shanhe about the trivial matters of managing medicinal herbs. Halfway through her sentence, she casually turned her head and glanced in the direction of the corridor.
His gaze met Su Wanjing's flustered and averted eyes, and Su Wanjing immediately turned her head away, not daring to meet his gaze again.
Murong Fangxiang immediately pursed her lips, forcibly suppressing the smile that was about to spill out, and still pretended to be completely unaware, with a calm and natural expression.
Instead of showing any restraint, she took the opportunity to raise her hand and lightly pat Chen Shanhe's arm.
With a familiar and cheerful smile on his face, he spoke in a light and bright tone, continuing to talk in a clear voice, his demeanor casual and generous.
"You just need to focus on your clinic and treat patients. I'll take care of all the complicated interpersonal relationships, supply matters, and other miscellaneous issues for you. You don't need to worry about it at all."
Su Wanjing, who was standing in the corridor, clearly saw this action, and her body suddenly froze on the spot, motionless.
She instinctively clenched her hands together tightly, her fingertips gripping her palms, and her head slumped down heavily.
Her ears were faintly tinged with a blush, and her eyelids were lowered tightly, not daring to look into the hall again.
This subtle reaction was completely observed by Murong Fangxiang, who secretly rejoiced.
However, he maintained a serious expression and continued to chat and laugh with Chen Shanhe as usual, his demeanor calm and composed without revealing the slightest flaw.
She had seen through everything long ago, but she deliberately didn't expose or reveal it. Instead of deliberately avoiding suspicion and distancing herself, she became more and more open and friendly.
Even though she clearly saw through Su Wanjing's hidden bitterness and jealousy, she pretended not to understand at all and quietly watched the other person struggle and agonize alone.
In her eyes, Su Wanjing's pure and genuine emotions, which she couldn't hide but refused to express, were clean and unpretentious, gentle and reserved, making her exceptionally lovable.
She wanted to tease this soft-hearted girl slowly, watching her emotions rise and fall, her inner turmoil, how she clearly cared deeply but restrained herself, refusing to reveal her feelings in public.
In the days that followed, she continued to interact with him as usual, chatting and laughing, teasing him lightly, but never revealing her true feelings, quietly watching this tender sentiment quietly spread.
As evidenced by the poem
Feigning intimacy to win her heart,
Seeing through something without saying it shows one's wisdom.
A gentle jealousy is amusing.
She secretly teased her beloved, stirring his heart.
