Chapter 903: Breaking the Ice

Zhao Xi silently glanced around the drafty woodshed with only a roof overhead and cursed inwardly.

Fine, she had pushed them out, but at least she should have found a quieter, slightly better environment that was more private. Who confesses their feelings to a girl in a woodshed???

He had barely opened his mouth before he got a mouthful of dust. He sneezed, and the smell of mule dung filled his nostrils.

This was just... too terrible.

But when he thought about the fact that the entire Lu family was gathered in the yard in front of the main hall, and if they went outside or went back in, they would be seen by them, the woodshed became the only option.

Zhao Xi coughed lightly and looked at Da Ya. "Um, I'm 21 years old this year, two years older than you. My parents passed away in an accident when I was four, and my master raised me and taught me medicine. Over the years, my master has been my only family. I used to be a wandering doctor, but later I made a bet with Ah Yun and served as his attendant for a few years. But now, it's time for me to move on. I plan to settle down and open a medical clinic to support myself."

"But I don't have experience running a clinic, so for the first two years, I want to work as a resident doctor in another clinic. I still have some money on me, but I haven't calculated exactly how much. I'll organize it later when I go back tonight and let you know."

Da Ya was initially stunned but quickly said, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"Didn't I say it earlier? To know each other well."

Da Ya's face turned slightly red, and she quickly lowered her head.

She hadn't realized it before, but when Zhao Xi heard someone introducing a man to her, his nervousness at that moment made it understandable why she had thought too much.

Just as she was still shocked by the thoughts in her mind, who knew that he would say such a long statement after regaining his senses.

Now that her thoughts were confirmed, Da Ya became even more embarrassed.

Zhao Xi cleared his throat and continued, "I don't have any bad habits, and my temperament is not bad either. You know, I'm a doctor, so my temper must be good, right? So you don't have to worry."

"That's enough. Don't say anything else."

Zhao Xi stopped. He saw that Da Ya seemed quite nervous, and he didn't want to push too hard and risk her rejection.

He scratched his hair and whispered, "Well, I won't say anything more for now. Take some time to think about it. Will you consider it?"

In the end, he added, "If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Da Ya neither nodded nor shook her head.

She didn't lack a favorable impression of Zhao Xi. He was actually an excellent person, and after spending so much time together, she had unknowingly started paying more attention to him.

Just last time, they had even conspired together to deceive Aunt Xue. They had a shared secret. Due to this subtle relationship, Da Ya sometimes couldn't help but feel complex emotions.

But she never dared to think too much. As an unmarried girl who had divorced, how could she have such extravagant hopes? It was good enough to have a normal friendship.

Who would have thought that Zhao Xi had already harbored feelings for her.

"Time to eat!" Someone in the yard shouted from a distance.

The two people who were silently facing each other were startled. Da Ya quickly said, "I understand, let's go out quickly."

After she finished speaking, she ran out of the woodshed. Just as she turned a corner, she bumped into Meng Yunzheng.
