Such an ordinary jade hairpin, but still attracts his attention at a glance: “How much is this?” Demons and gods at work, he picked up the jade hairpin.

The old man in the stall smiled and said: “Gongzi has a good eye. This is just right for your little lady. This only cost 5 silver coins.”

Hu Feng’s face slightly became hot, but he didn’t give an explanation. He just took out his purse from his sleeve and handed the money to the stall owner.

He tucked the hairpin on his sleeve and caught up with Bai Zhi, who was buying cotton.

Bai Zhi had already negotiated the price to the seller. When Hu Feng came over, she asked: “Where have you been? Why did you just come?”

Hu Feng looked up at the sky and put his hands on his back: “Nowhere, I just look around.”

Bai Zhi didn’t ask much. After paying, she let Hu Feng picked up the bag of cotton. Just next to the store, there was a fabric store, she went inside and bought 2 pieces of fabric clothes.

Although the fabrics were not heavy and not too long, Bai Zhi was holding two. It’s very inconvenient to walk in a busy street like the market.

Hu Feng saw it and snatched the two fabric clothes from her arms: “I’ll carry it, there is a vegetable store in front, go there and buy some ingredients before we go back.”

Bai Zhi felt her arms became light. Then, she saw the two fabric cloth on Hu Feng’s left shoulder and the cotton on his right shoulder. She was not carrying anything. This scene reminded her of what she had always seen in the mall in modern times. A young woman had a smile on her face while walking on the side of a man, who’s carrying a lot of things.

That scene was just like her and Hu Feng now!

She never had talked about love. Men’s hospitality, she never dared to accept it easily. Rather, she prepares to do everything on her own. She lived in the orphanage at a very young age. Her heart was filled with extreme insecurity. She cannot trust a person easily. Especially, those kinds of men, who sweet-talked with a woman that looked very seductive.

But since she came to this world, her temperament constantly changing.

She began to be willing to trust others.

She believed Zhao Lan, Hu Changlin, Meng Nan and Jin Shiwei, and Hu Feng.

The person she believes most, besides Zhao Lan, should be Hu Feng!

Hu Feng was different from the men she has seen in modern times. He always speaks less and does more. He always silently protects her and appears in time when she needs him.

She doesn’t know when she removed all her precautions against Hu Feng. And she even trusts him now more than she trusts Lin Yang.

Lin Yang was a man, who had been with her since she was a freshman in college. He liked her, but he never said it. He only followed her in every step she took in life and never stayed far away from her.

When she graduated from Minxing Hospital University, Lin Yang also entered the Minxing Hospital with her. She became an attending physician there, and Lin Yang also became an attending physician.

Later on, through her unremitting efforts, she became the top general practitioner in the Minxing Hospital, and so did Lin Yang. He became the best chief surgeon in the Minxing Hospital.

Lin Yang likes her, but he never speaks about it. He just stayed with her silently, cares for her as a friend, a classmate, and a colleague. He only quietly stand behind her and looks at her.

She used to think that in the end, she would eventually end up together with Lin Yang, but that day didn’t come, perhaps because there was something missing, but what was this missing thing?

“What’s the problem? Didn’t you go to buy foods? What do you think the time now?” Hu Feng saw her in a daze, he doesn’t know what she was thinking. The expression on her face was unpredictable.

“Oh, I’ll go.” She returned to her senses and rushed towards the vegetable store. She chooses several ingredients that Hu Feng likes to eat.
