The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1624 - 1711: Courtesy Demands Reciprocity

As the saying goes, ’It is impolite not to return what is given.’ Dong Huiying knew Liu Yi didn’t have good intentions, so she smiled at Bazak and said, "Bazak, you know, I think you’re still quite young and not bad looking—surely women will like you. Are you really going to stay by Aunt Liu’s side for the rest of your life? That would be too pitiful."

"How about this, let me matchmake for you, I know quite a few nice girls in the army!"

Bazak was shocked, feeling overwhelmed. "Miss Dong, Miss Dong... this, this, there’s no need for that!" He secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead but couldn’t help but smile wryly in his heart.

Wasn’t she just saying she didn’t like meddling? How come she’s meddling all of a sudden?

Bazak discreetly glanced at Liu Yi, thinking it must be that Sir had upset the lady earlier, which is why she took it out on him. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Liu Yi looked utterly confused. "Matchmaking? What matchmaking?" she said, frowning intensively.

With a playful smile, Dong Huiying replied, "Aunt Liu, you know, a man always needs someone around who understands him. Bazak isn’t old, and he can still remarry. Although men from Dayuan are known for their preference for slender and fair, petite men, I bet someone will appreciate a manly man like Bazak!"

Liu Yi quickly pushed Dong Huiying out of the courtyard. "You should leave quickly, don’t create more chaos for us here!"

She had already issued an unequivocal eviction notice.

Seeing that Liu Yi was about to get angry out of embarrassment, Dong Huiying thought it wise to stop there. Covering her mouth with a sly smile, she called her two men, and with a sorrowful, lilting flute tune underfoot, she gradually walked away.

The flute was indeed a good one, but the one playing it...

After seeing off Dong Huiying and her group, Liu Yi returned to the courtyard and saw Bazak tidying up the teacups on the wooden table.

She stood by the courtyard gate, frowning and pondering for a moment.

Bazak placed the teacups back on the tray and, as he turned around, saw Liu Yi’s complicated expression. "Sir?"

Bazak looked at Liu Yi with some doubt.

Liu Yi cleared her throat, "Well, Bazak! What are you thinking?" Perhaps even she hadn’t noticed the cautious tone in her voice.

"Back then... back then, that matter wasn’t your fault, and if you really have thoughts of remarriage, I can also help you change your identity. That girl... she’s right, being alone till the end of one’s life is pitiful."

Bazak’s heart trembled a little, a smile appeared on his face, his words still gentle, but his heart was filled with bittersweet emotions.

"No, I don’t have that intention. Besides... Bazak isn’t alone; don’t I have Sir with me? I want to accompany you. Or is it... that you’re not fond of me anymore?"

"No, not at all!" Liu Yi quickly waved her hand, letting out a subtle sigh of relief. Yet, she didn’t delve into the complexity of these feelings.

"You know I’m not very good at living. You’ve helped me a lot over the years."

If it weren’t for Bazak, who knows if her life would have turned into a mess.

Perhaps...

She was too dependent on this person.

Bazak also let out a soft sigh. "Sir, don’t think about this anymore. You also know, I’ve been through it once in this matter. Once bitten by a snake, I’m now cautious even about ropes for ten years."
