Wang Yao gave him some simple guidance. He corrected some of his seemingly irregular movements and slightly adjusted his breathing method.

  “Alright, try again.”


  Chen Zhou practiced his boxing again. He had taken note of the things Wang Yao had pointed out and corrected them one by one. He felt that it was smoother and more comfortable than before.

  “Yes, he has talent,” Wang Yao said.

  He had just pointed it out one time, yet he had noticed what he should pay attention to. It could be seen that Chen Zhou really had a lot of talent.

  “Thank you, Sir.”


  “You guys go on with your stuff. I’m going out.”


  “Alright.”


  Wang Yao went to Su Xiaoxue’s home. He was going to attend classes with her.

  “Ah, here he comes again!” Quite a few people at the school already had a deep impression of Wang Yao now. After all, two people had crapped their pants after they had expressed their love to the goddess in front of him. They had become famous on campus.

  The students had named it the Confession Crapped Pants incident. It had spread wildly on campus for quite some time.

  “Oh my goodness, someone won’t make the same mistake again, will they?”


  This time, there was no one stupid enough to do that. No one dared to even think about taking the initiative to express their love in front of Wang Yao.

  The day quickly passed. The street lights began to shine.

  That night, Su Xiaoxue’s parents hosted a banquet at home to entertain Wang Yao. After all, he would be their future son-in-law.

  The next day, he accompanied her to class again. This time, Wang Yao went to the famous library of Yanjing University. There were many books there. He looked for books about traditional Chinese medicine and found what he wanted. They were some ancient books.

  “Good stuff!”


  These books did not exist outside of the school.

  He was immersed in it and had forgotten the time. Su Xiaoxue came to find him.

  “Sir?”


  “Oh, is class over?”


  Su Xiaoxue was in a professional class. Since it was a small class, it was not appropriate for him to attend with her.

  “What books are you reading, Sir?” she asked. “You seem to be very fascinated.”


  “Ah, it’s a medical book. It was compiled during Republican China. It is very rare,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

  There were not many things that could attract his attention now, but this medical book was one of them.

  “Let’s go. We’ll get some lunch.”


  “Sure.”


  After lunch and a light rest, Su Xiaoxue’s afternoon class was still a professional one. Wang Yao went to the library to read the unfinished medical book.

  They spent three days in a row listening to classes, reading books, and strolling together. It was plain and sweet.

  After the three days were up, Wang Yao reluctantly said goodbye to Su Xiaoxue and got on the plane headed to Dao.

  There were quite a few things waiting for him to do in Lianshan County.

  In the village, Jia Zizai drank a bowl of bitter medicine and asked, “When is Sir coming back?”


  Wang Yao had left him medicine before leaving for Jing. There was enough to last for five days.

  “It should be soon,” Zhong Liuchuan replied.

  “Well, Senior, the medicine left by Sir this time is not the same as what we drank the last time,” Jia Zizai said. “Did he change the prescription?”


  “Well, I am not sure about that,” Zhong Liuchuan said. He knew nothing about medicine.

  Jia Zizai was right. This time, Wang Yao had changed the prescription. He added a little Plow Grass and increased the amount of Shanjing and Guiyuan.

  “It is quite strange too. I feel more and more energetic these days,” Jia Zizai said.

  In the past two days, he felt full of energy and seemed to have endless strength. It was not that his body was not energetic in the past. This change was just relatively sudden.

  “I think so too,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

  “Does the medicine Sir gave us have that effect too?”


  “There is no harm anyway,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

  “Yes, no harm.”


  It was evening when the plane landed in Dao. Instead of rushing back, Wang Yao found a place to stay for the night and prepared to return home the next day.

  He found a hotel to stay in for the night.

  After dinner, it was already after 7 p.m.

  In winter, the sky turned dark early. The night view in Dao was very beautiful. Although it was not as prosperous or lively as Jing, it had its charm.

  Wang Yao left the hotel and walked along the road. The hotel was not far from the sea. After walking for a little while, he arrived at the sea.

  In winter, the sea breeze was very strong. It was very cold as it blew against his body. At this time, no one was by the sea. After all, it was not summer.

  He stood by the sea, looking at the water in the night.

  With a screech, a car suddenly stopped at the seaside.

  “Let me go!”


  “Xiao Fei, listen to me.”


  “If you don’t let go, I’ll scream!”


  “Xiao Fei, I really love you.”


  Huh?

  Wang Yao looked at the car, which was nearby.

  With a bang, the door of the car opened. A beautiful woman in a delicate dress got out of the car and ran for a while. A man followed her. He soon caught up with her.

  “You let me go! If you keep doing this, I’ll call the police!”


  They were fighting.

  Since they were so noisy, Wang Yao was no longer in the mood to stay there anymore. He turned around and prepared to leave.

  “Let go of me!”


  The two of them were pushing and pulling at each other.

  Shing! With a glint, the man suddenly had a knife in his hand.

  “What are you doing?”


  “Xiao Fei, I really love you. You can’t leave me. You can’t leave me.”


  What’s the situation here? Why is he wielding a knife? Seeing this, Wang Yao stopped and watched the man fall into a state of madness. The man’s hand holding the knife was shaking.

  “You! You are mad!” The girl was startled upon seeing how the situation unfolded.

  She wanted to break up with the man tonight. She had not expected that he would keep clinging on to her. She had been impatient, and her tone was heavy. She didn’t expect that he was so weak and could not take any agitation. When she was in the car just now, she felt that something was wrong. She hurried from the car and got out. She had thought that she had just escaped him. She didn’t expect that he would do something like this.

  Ring! Ring! Wang Yao’s cellphone rang.

  “Xiaoxue.”


  “Where are you, Sir?”


  “I’m in Dao. I just had a meal and am taking a walk outside. How about you? Have you reached home?”


  “I am at home. I just had dinner.”


  As the two of them were chatting, the other man’s eyes were turning fiercer. He was about to lose control of himself.

  “Xiao Fei, if I can’t get it, I won’t let others get it either.”


  “This is quite dramatic,” Wang Yao said.

  “Sir, is there someone else around?”


  “Ah, I’m at the seaside,” Wang Yao said. “There is a pair of young lovers. It seems that there is something wrong with their relationship. The man is extremely agitated and has a knife in his hand.”


  “Ah, you must be careful, Sir,” Su Xiaoxue anxiously said.

  “It’s alright,” Wang Yao said.

  The girl, who was very beautiful, had gone pale from fear. For a moment, she did not know how to deal with it. Seeing that the man was approaching, she suddenly turned around and ran.

  “Don’t run!” The man who has lost his mind followed and ran after her.

  After a few steps, he stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud and a clang. The knife flew out quite a distance from his hand. The woman was shocked out of her wits. She looked back when she heard the sound but quickly turned to run away.

  “Xiao Fei! Xiao Fei! Don’t run!” the man who had fallen on the ground struggled to get up as he tried to catch her. He soon fell to the ground again.

  “Are you all right, Sir?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

  “It’s OK. The problem has been solved,” Wang Yao said.

  “Oh, that’s good.”


  Seeing that the girl had run further away, the young man collapsed on the ground. He lay down and looked up at the sky. His gaze was blank. It was as if the spirit of his body had been hollowed.

  “It’s not that serious.” Wang Yao smiled as he shook his head.

  It seemed that the young man was an infatuated and passionate person, but it was too much to threaten others with a knife.

  Love was something that only worked when both parties were willing. The melon would not be sweet if one plucked it before it was ripe.

  Wang Yao glanced at the young man lying on the ground. He didn’t say anything. He just walked past him. He was a stranger who had threatened others with a knife because of his feelings. Such a person was not worth persuading. When he passed the knife that had fallen on the ground, he stepped on it with one foot. There was a crack.

  The man lay on the ground for a long time before getting up. He seemed to have lost his soul. He looked up and around. He found the fallen knife. He thought about it before going over to where it was. He bent over to pick it up. He found that the knife had been broken into many pieces.

  What?

  The young man was stunned.

  How has it turned into this state after just one fall? Isn’t it metal? Why did it break so easily? He finally came back to his senses at that moment.
