A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

Chapter 247 Tangled

Yingying slowly raised her head, her gaze falling on Xiang Yuntian, silently encouraging herself.

Seeing the complete trust in Xiang Yuntian's eyes, she pursed her lips, nodded gently, and her eyes also revealed her trust in Xiang Yuntian.

"Are you confident now?" Xiang Yuntian asked with a slight smile amidst his serious expression, trying to calm her down.

Unexpectedly, she said, "I have confidence, but I need you by my side!"

This put Xiang Yuntian in a difficult position!

If he could go to the police station openly and honestly to perform an autopsy as a forensic doctor, that would be the best outcome. Why make Yingying take such a risk?

For a moment, Xiang Yuntian didn't know how to respond, so he could only silently turn his face away.

Seeing that Xiang Yuntian seemed a little agitated, Yingying quickly said, "You have to trust me, I can definitely handle things! You really don't need to worry too much, you must believe me!"

Seeing that Yingying finally had the courage to take responsibility on her own, Xiang Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain the autopsy method to her in detail. He repeatedly instructed her, "Just follow what I taught you, and pay special attention to the oral cavity and the eyes. When you get there, you can accurately determine the time of death based on Uncle Hu's lividity and the degree of cloudiness in his pupils. This way, you can help Jiang Shuai clear his name."

Although Yingying was extremely flustered, she still nodded and softly said "Oh," while her face turned red.

She felt that gaining Xiang Yuntian's trust was both a stroke of luck and a blessing.

Just as she was secretly pleased, Xiang Yuntian said again, "If Qu Ying says you are not qualified to perform autopsies, just remember what I said and say that your father appeared to you in a dream."

"Okay, I'll remember." Yingying was still very nervous, constantly digging her right index finger into her left index finger with her right fingernail, and her expression was extremely flustered.

Xiang Yuntian saw all of this and kept it in mind, but he said nothing because he didn't want to put any more pressure on Yingying at this time.

Yingying frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "So when do you plan for me to go?"

Xiang Yuntian looked back at the alarm clock on the bedside table and realized that it was late at night.

Although now is the best time to rescue Jiang Shuai and spare him some physical pain, if Yingying goes now, her story of her father appearing in a dream will be hard to believe.

So he decided to let Yingying go again tomorrow at noon.

After explaining all this, Xiang Yuntian opened the door and saw Bai Mengfei standing at the door.

Needless to say, Bai Mengfei must have been eavesdropping on the sounds coming from inside the house.

He immediately felt a little embarrassed and asked with a smile, "What are you doing here?"

"It's nothing, I was just taking a walk and happened to come across this place." Bai Mengfei took a deep breath at the end, her face flushing. After all, eavesdropping wasn't exactly something to be proud of, but it also subtly revealed her concern for Xiang Yuntian and the others.

After swallowing hard, Bai Mengfei pretended to be nonchalant and walked away.

Xiang Yuntian silently followed behind her and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Bai Mengfei couldn't sleep at all. She sat down on the millstone and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.

Seeing that she was still awake, Xiang Yuntian worried that she might have some extreme thoughts and run around, so he quietly sat down beside her and looked at the moon with her.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiang Yuntian asked softly.

Bai Mengfei gently shook her head, took a deep breath, and said, "It's nothing, I just feel very comfortable looking at the moon." Indeed, the moonlight was bright and gentle, and due to the weather, the thin clouds beside the moonlight were like white frost, hazy and indistinct, which gradually relaxed one's thoughts and made one feel relaxed as well.

Xiang Yuntian had no heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery; his mind was preoccupied with Jiang Shuai's matter.

He was filled with anxiety, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

Bai Mengfei didn't need to ask to know what Xiang Yuntian was thinking, but since Xiang Yuntian didn't want to say, she didn't press him further.

The two sat there all night without saying a word, and before they knew it, the sun rose.

Xiang Yuntian was so focused on Bai Mengfei that he didn't notice that someone had been silently watching him all night.

That person is Yingying!

Although Yingying is simple and honest, she is not stupid. She clearly sees that Xiang Yuntian likes Zhang Ting.

It wasn't until noon, when Aunt Hu called everyone to eat, that Yingying hadn't eaten yet. She said to Bai Mengfei, "I have something I want to talk to you about. Can you come out with me for a bit?"

Bai Mengfei naturally did not refuse her.

After the two went outside, Yingying asked, "To be honest, is the person Forensic Doctor Xiang in love with you?"

"Silly girl, why would you think that?" Bai Mengfei shrugged, a puzzled look on her face.

Yingying lowered her head in grievance, her eyes darting around, and sadness gradually spread through them, almost overflowing. "Actually, I saw you two sitting in the yard all night, keeping each other company. I just felt like I was superfluous there, so I didn't disturb you. But the way he looked at you, and his attitude towards you, were very obvious. He likes you."

"That's not true!" Bai Mengfei said with a wry smile.

"Yes!" Yingying said firmly, "Don't lie to me!"

Bai Mengfei had no choice but to patiently explain, "It's just because we're colleagues and have been through so much hardship together that we feel a sense of shared suffering. Besides love, there's also friendship and family in this world, do you understand?"

"I know a little bit," Yingying said somewhat hesitantly.

Bai Mengfei smiled slightly and continued, "My relationship with Forensic Doctor Xiang is purely platonic. If there were anything between us, why wouldn't we be together? Besides, think about it, does our relationship look like that of a couple?"

"But he seems to really like you," Yingying whispered.

Bai Mengfei grasped her left hand and encouraged her with feigned nonchalance, "If you like him, go for it! So what if he really likes me? Are you going to give up? To truly love someone is to not give up easily as long as there's a glimmer of hope, regardless of his feelings. Haven't you always believed you could win him over?"

Bai Mengfei herself couldn't believe that these words actually came out of her own mouth.

It's said that knowing is easy but doing is hard, and she herself can hardly do it. Now she's cheering on a girl and encouraging her to bravely pursue the boy she likes. Only Yingying has this kind of courage.

After all, she and Xiang Yuntian had liked each other for so long and gone through so much, but so far, their relationship hadn't made any progress. Was it going to continue like this?
