After seeing Zhao Mengjiao off, Xu Feng felt much better. To be on the safe side, he was not in a hurry and let Xiao Hei walk around nearby. Xiao Hei understood human nature and ran out. Not long after, he came back with a brisk pace.

The night grew darker and the cool breeze grew stronger. After Xu Feng confirmed several times that there was no one around, he finally got down to business.

......

A few days later, Xu Feng had almost packed up everything he needed to clean up, disposed of everything he needed to dispose of, and even entrusted the brokerage firm to find a buyer for the small courtyard where he lived. In Liuye Lane, looking at the gate of the mansion that he had visited many times, Xu Feng sighed. This was the last time.

He knocked on the door, and the maid opened it and welcomed him in warmly.

"Uncle Xu, why did you take so long to come?" Because he had gone to the Golden Sword Gate before, and then dealt with his breathing and preparations, Xu Feng had come here several days later than usual. No wonder Xiao Qiumo reacted a little when she saw him.

"I'm sorry, uncle has some problems and needs time to deal with them." Xu Feng smiled gently and said apologetically.

"Uncle will play with you as long as you want today. This is an apology, okay?"

"Okay, you said so yourself. I'll go set up the chessboard." The little girl smiled happily and rushed out without caring whether her mother agreed or not.

"This girl, Doctor Xu, you've spoiled her too much." Jinniang smiled aside. After not seeing her for a long time, even she had to admit that she felt a little happy when Xu Feng arrived, as if Xu Feng had become an indispensable part of this place. But Xu Feng's next words instantly hit her like a heavy blow, and she stood there in a daze.

"Madam, to be honest, I came here to say goodbye. Because of some things, I will leave Shiqiao Town soon after today. I'm afraid we won't have the chance to see each other again in the future." Xu Feng sighed.

The smile on Jinniang's face gradually faded, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Don't tell Xiao Qiumo about this for now. Let her spend this day happily. After I leave, Madam, find a suitable time and tell her!"

"Doctor Xu, do we have to go?" After a long time, Jinniang asked, holding the handkerchief tightly in both hands.

"Well! I have to go." Xu Feng said firmly. Although he was reluctant, compared with his own life safety... Because of the treatment of Zhao Mengjiao, several waves of doctors have come to him in recent days, saying that they want to exchange ideas. Some people even took the opportunity to ask him for treatment methods for patients who are difficult to treat. This is very uncomfortable for him, who has always been withdrawn and does not like to interact with others. Although Zhao Wuping said that it should not be spread to outsiders, it is not the case for these parties. If he continues to stay, there may be more and more troubles in the future.

"Well, I understand." Jinniang was not an ordinary woman, and she recovered her composure in a moment.

"Uncle Xu, let's go." Xiao Qiumo ran back in a hurry and dragged Xu Feng away.

Jinniang watched the two leave, pondered for a moment, and called a maid. "Auntie Dong, Doctor Xu will stay for dinner later, so make a rich meal."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll prepare it right away."

......

After playing more than ten rounds of Go with Xiao Qiumo, Xu Feng lost more than he won, which made the little girl very addicted. Xu Feng thought about it and took Xiao Qiumo to make the flying beast chess that she played when she was a child. The novel things and novel ways of playing made her amazed and laughed continuously.

During this time, Xu Feng occasionally reminded her to be a sensible and good child, which made the little girl dissatisfied and said that he was particularly nagging today. Xu Feng just smiled and played with her for nearly two hours before ending the game with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

When it was time to eat, Xu Feng originally didn't plan to stay, after all, he had always declined politely before. But this time, Jinniang just said that there would be no chance in the future and dismissed his idea. Xu Feng thought about it and finally didn't insist. This made Xiao Qiumo overjoyed.

The three of them sat around the table. The little girl was particularly excited. She kept picking up food for Xu Feng like a little adult, which made him smile bitterly. The meal was very rich. As a medicine, Xu Feng's daily diet was very light. He didn't mind even eating porridge and vegetables every day. On the contrary, eating too much fish and meat would make him feel nauseous afterwards. However, he also knew that this should be Jinniang's gift to him, so he ate a lot.

The meal was filled with Xiao Qiumo's cheerful voice, which made the meal seem very happy. "Uncle Xu, do we look like a family?" the little girl suddenly said.

Xu Feng and Jin Niang were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other, and a red cloud appeared on Jin Niang's beautiful face. She lowered her head slightly, and she was so bright and beautiful. Xu Feng couldn't look away for a while. Feeling Xu Feng's hot gaze lingering for a long time, Jin Niang's face turned redder, raised her head slightly, and gave him a reproachful look. Xu Feng was startled and immediately felt very rude, so he quickly looked away.

Unexpectedly, Jinniang did not blame Xiao Qiumo, but only told her to finish eating quickly. The meal ended in a strange atmosphere.

......

"Doctor Xu, you have worked so hard during this period. Here are five hundred taels of gold notes, please accept them." When the time came for parting, Xiao Qiumo was sent away, and Jinniang took out five gold notes from her bosom and handed them to Xu Feng. One tael of gold note was equivalent to 10 taels of silver. Xu Feng saved Zhao Mengjiao, so Zhao Wuping gave him one thousand taels of gold notes. Jinniang was very generous.

"No, that's not necessary. The medical fee that my wife gives me on a daily basis is more than enough." Xu Feng quickly refused.

"Please accept it. This is a small token of my appreciation." Jinniang insisted. Xu Feng finally accepted it and said to Jinniang, "Then, Madam, I'll take my leave now." Jinniang's eyes showed reluctance, but she nodded gently. "Have a safe journey!"

Xu Feng looked at Jinniang for a while, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance deeply in his mind. Then, he turned around slowly. Unexpectedly, when the time came, the pain of separation was even deeper than he had imagined. Does he like Jinniang? Of course he likes her in his heart. Some people like smart and playful ones, some people like cold and elegant ones, and Xu Feng is most attracted to the gentle and dignified good wife and mother type like Jinniang. It is not just the love between men and women, but also mixed with some family affection and friendship. In this place, he can't trust anyone. Except when practicing medicine, he dare not contact others and beware of anyone. Only here can it be barely regarded as a small spiritual harbor. Let him let go of most of his guard. What about Jinniang for him? Maybe she has some good feelings for him. But, at most, that's all. Xu Feng will not be narcissistic to the point of wishful thinking.

His steps were slow, but he finally reached the gate. He turned back for the last time and looked deeply at Jinniang. Jinniang was also staring at him intently. After staring at her affectionately for a moment, Xu Feng turned his head cruelly and was about to bid farewell to this place completely.

"Doctor Xu." Jinniang's voice came from behind. Xu Feng stopped, and Jinniang herself was a little stunned. Just now, when she saw Xu Feng's figure was about to disappear completely, she felt a pang in her heart, as if something was about to be lost, and she couldn't help but make a sound.

"Madam, is there anything else?" Xu Feng asked.

"If, if..." Jinniang's gentle and calm face was as red as a burning cloud, and her voice gradually became lower.

Xu Feng turned and walked to her, but because he was at the door, he couldn't hear her voice at all.

"Ma'am, what did you just say?"

"If I ask you to stay, are you willing to stay?" Jinniang finally summoned up the courage to speak. Although she spoke, she was still too shy to look at Xu Feng. After hearing this, Xu Feng felt a surge of blood rushing to his head. He felt that the world seemed to have completely changed in an instant, and everything seemed unreal. This feeling made people so nostalgic, as if they were in heaven.
