Divine Doctor and His Heroic Companion

Chapter 5

Like a mirror, the round moon cast its yellow light all over the ground. A cool breeze was blowing and the trees swayed in harmony while falling leaves danced in the air. A sigh came from the figure sitting on the long bench in the backyard.

What was wrong with her? She had actually promised to help Dong Mei. She, who had usually avoided being too close to other people, had actually promised to do this. She should have put on her cold expression, then turned around and walked away. This had always been her style in handling all her matters. She sighed again in chagrin.

Was it because of their hopeful faces that had made her soften her stance?

But when did she start to care about other people's opinion?

In short, it seems she was not in control of everything that had happened during this trip down the mountain away from home. She hated this kind of feeling.

"Xiang Yin."

Suddenly, a soft voice called out behind her. Ruan Xiang Yin was startled and turned her head around to meet a pair of black smiling eyes. When did this man arrive? Why didn't she hear his footsteps?

"Can't sleep? The moon is very beautiful tonight."

Dong Fang Tang walked slowly to her side. He raised his head, lifted his hand as if looking through a dark curtain hanging from the sky and looked at the bright moon, enjoying the tranquil moonlit night.

Ruan Xiang Yin did not say a word and looked at the side-view of his handsome face.

Four years ago, they had parted in a hurry and now they meet again. He had not changed much and still had that gentle, refined appearance which had left a deep impression on her.

This man has a special inexplicable characteristic about him that makes people feel secure and want to get close to him.

Born into the affluent Dong Fang Residence, it was unexpected that he would give up his life of luxury and pleasure to practice medicine and made it his responsibility to save people, traveling all over the country. The black and white world* had benefited from his benevolence countless times and as long as the name Divine Doctor, Dong Fang Tang was mentioned, everyone would feel gratitude in their hearts.

<<Black and white world ~~ Black represents criminals, triads, bandits while White represents the government and law-enforcers.>>

Such a person who is admired and loved by the people is really someone which her father cannot match up to.

"What's wrong?" He realized she was staring at him while deep in thought and he asked with concern.

"Nothing. Why are you here?"

"Like you. I could not sleep, so I came out for a walk."

He did not tell her it was because he had seen her walking out of her bedchamber and felt worried, so he had followed her. After seeing her sitting there alone for a long time and feeling concern for her, he had stepped forward to make himself visible.

"Are you accustomed to staying here?"

"No. Everywhere I go, I see a big crowd of people."

Le Mountain is still the best. The place is sparsely populated and at the mountain foothills, there are only a few families staying there. Unlike this Long Feng Restaurant where every day the business is extremely good with people coming and going, making a lot of noise.

Dong Fang Tang chuckled. He knew that she had lived in the mountains for a long time and she was used to being in a quiet and secluded environment. So staying in this Long Feng Restaurant was indeed difficult for her because she had stayed for such a long time in the mountains. Through time, she had developed into a cold person with a habit of alienating herself from other people.
