Pei Guanjing held Xiao Douya for a long time before reluctantly letting him go. It was actually Xiao Douya who felt uncomfortable being held too tightly and struggled to get down, prompting Pei Guanjing to release him, allowing the little boy's feet to touch the ground.
Ye Chen watched the father and son duo, lowering his head as he dried herbs, a smile creeping onto his face as he secretly chuckled.
He had thought it would take months for the child to warm up enough to let Pei Guanjing hold him, but surprisingly, Xiao Douya reached out for him the moment they met. Truly, they were a pair of biological father and son; blood relations were indeed remarkable.
That evening, their home consisted of three rooms: Liu Jin's room at the far west, Ye Chen and Xiao Douya's room at the far east, and the last room had been converted into a storage space. Living in an ordinary household was certainly not as comfortable as their previous life in the royal residence, but Liu Jin had carefully selected the courtyard. Even the front room’s pharmacy had been connected by breaking down walls between two courtyards.
So, before nightfall, Pei Guanjing had already cleared a space for himself in the storage room, tidying up the dilapidated bed. Although he preferred to share a bed with Ye Chen, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time and needed to adjust. Besides, if he slept with Ye Chen, what would happen to Xiao Douya?
Now nearly five years old, Xiao Douya still insisted on sleeping with his father and grandfather every night. Without adults around, children often felt scared.
Lying on the bed, Pei Guanjing gazed at the bright moon hanging high through the half-open window.
Throughout his life, he had navigated through political intrigues and schemes. Though he had never fought on the battlefield, he had treated thousands of soldiers in the rear. As he reflected on his journey, he realized he didn’t truly know what he wanted until he met Ye Chen; like a drifting weed finally finding its home.
He wanted to be with Ye Chen and have a family.
…
Recently, news had spread throughout the neighborhood that Ye Chen had found himself a husband who was quite handsome and capable of healing people; his medical skills were said to rival those of Doctor Ye himself.
As a result, many strangers began visiting Yangsheng Hall, seemingly eager to see what kind of man could win over their renowned Doctor Ye.
"Ah, that's Doctor Pei! He looks quite handsome."
"Yes, when I first saw him, I was stunned for quite a while. Doctor Ye never married before, turns out she just didn't find anyone else appealing! With looks like that, there aren't many in the world who could match him. I wonder where Doctor Ye found such a handsome man. Maybe I should find a good-looking Tian Qian for our Xue Ge to marry into the family."
"You think that's a nice idea? How many good-looking Tian Qians like Doctor Pei are there in the world? Besides, Doctor Ye is also quite attractive. And her son, Xiao Douya, is the best-looking child on our street... Hey, don't you think Xiao Douya's eyebrows and mouth look just like Doctor Pei's?"
A woman stood at the entrance of Yangsheng Hall, watching Pei Guanjing take a patient's pulse inside. She shifted her gaze between him and Xiao Douya and suddenly realized.
"They look too much alike!"
As she said this, everyone else noticed that indeed, Xiao Douya and Doctor Pei bore a striking resemblance. Could it be that Doctor Pei was chosen to marry into the family because he looked so much like Doctor Ye's late husband?
Thoughts raced through their minds. In a street full of shops where everyone knew each other, when there were no customers at their own stalls, they enjoyed standing together and chatting about daily life. Doctor Ye had always been the center of their discussions.
"Dad, what is this?"
Suddenly, Xiao Douya held up a piece of Huang Qi and presented it to Pei Guanjing.
The women at the door were taken aback; wasn't it a bit too soon for the child to call him 'Dad'?
Pei Guanjing smiled and said, "That's Huang Qi." After speaking, he ruffled Xiao Douya's hair and suddenly looked up at the women standing at the entrance but not coming inside. Although he smiled, his eyes held a coldness as he asked, "Ladies, are you feeling unwell and in need of a diagnosis?"
"No, no, I still have things to attend to at my shop. I'll be leaving now."
"Yes, yes, yes, I still need to check if the clothes that Master Qian ordered a few days ago have arrived."
"......"
In an instant, the women gathered outside the door scattered like startled birds and beasts.
Having arrived at Yangsheng Hall for only a few days, Liu Jin entrusted Ye Chen and Xiao Douya to Pei Guanjing for care, while he pretended to be profound and declared that he was going to travel the world.
This was also a promise he had made with Lin Feifei in his youth.
Although she was no longer here, he felt it was his duty to visit the places in this world that she had never seen.
