BXBX NOVEL Chapter 37
Chapter 37: It’s Because Everyone Is Blind
“You can help rebuild my confidence.” Feng Bai Lin cradled his chin with his palm. “It won’t be troublesome or frequent. If you are willing, come to the Feng family estate from time to time and accompany me for a walk.”
“The Feng family estate?”
Jiang Yu’s frown deepened. “Sounds troublesome. I hate trouble.”
Feng Lin Bai replied casually, “The Feng family recently hired a new chef. His cooking is quite delicious. He is well-versed in Chinese and Western styles of cooking. Roast duck, beef steak, hand-shredded chicken, he’s good at preparing them all. He also makes delicious desserts, such as a matcha crepe cake…”
Jiang Yu: “I’ll go.”
Jiang Yu: “How many times a week do you need me to go?”
Feng Lin Bai could not see the solemn and serious expression on her face.
When he heard Jiang Yu let out a sigh of longing, Feng Lin Bai was put at ease. He said breezily, “We will follow your timing. It’s up to you if you want a fixed day or not.”
It seemed like the information that he had been given was not wrong. It was indeed easy to bribe the little lady with food.
“Fixed weekends.” Jiang Yu thought for a moment. “Saturdays.”
“Ok.”
Feng Lin Bai’s lips curled into a smile. He had said that he would follow her timing and also gave her a choice of whether to have a fixed day or not. This was so the little lady would settle on an answer.
Jiang Yu put down her glass. “It’s getting late. I have to go.”
“I’ll get someone to send you back.”
“No, I will go back on my own.”
If Feng Lin Bai sent her home with one of his men and Jiang Cheng Lang or Jiang Wan spotted them, she would have to explain herself. That was too troublesome for her.
Jiang Yu walked out of the room.
After a moment, Feng Lin Bai called in his subordinate who was waiting outside.
“Yan Bin, get today’s recording of the room and bring it to me.”
He wanted to keep it and listen to the little lady’s voice over and over again.
“Yes, Master.”
Feng Lin Bai was excited. “Aren’t you curious about what she said to me?”
Ke Yang Bin said respectfully, “This subordinate wouldn’t dare to listen in on your conversation.”
Feng Lin Bai chuckled, “You sure are quite a stiff character. The little lady told me that she can cure my eyes.”
“Master believes in such a thing?”
“I believe in her,” retorted Feng Lin Bai. “You don’t?”
“Master, do you want to listen to the truth or lies?”
“Lies.”
Ke Yan Bin was silent. He was used to his master not playing by the rules.
“Your subordinate believes in her.”
Feng Lin Bai: “As long as you mean it.”
Ke Yan Bin: “...”
He could tell Feng Lin Bai was ecstatic but after thinking it over and over in his head, Ke Yan Bin was regretful that he had to pour cold water over his head. “After so many years, after having met so many famous doctors, they could not do anything. Jiang Yu, a mere student who had not even completed high school, is spouting nonsense…”
Feng Lin Bai chuckled. “Yan Bin, one day, you will lose your cold attitude.”
Ke Yan Bin did not comment further. “Jiang Yu has a great set of hands and feet but I highly doubt she has any other talents. Otherwise, she would not have remained unknown all throughout high school.”
“That’s because everyone is blind.” Feng Lin Bai snorted. “They don’t even notice such a treasure when it’s right in front of their eyes. What a waste of a perfectly good pair of eyes.”
Ke Yan Bin remained silent.
If a biologically blind person can call other people blind, it must mean that they were truly jaded.
He had always thought of his master as a clear headed man but he could not agree with him on this matter.
He was still skeptical of Jiang Yu and felt that there was nothing noteworthy about her.
“Oh, right. Get someone to keep an eye on the school for me. The little lady is too cute. Don’t let any of those pubescent boys near her.”
Feng Lin Bai’s expression turned cold. “If any pests approach her, just get rid of them.”
He paused: “Don’t let anything affect the little lady’s studies.”
