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

Chapter 241 Barrier

As soon as she finished speaking, Yingying's mother came over, gently took Yingying's hand, and led her outside.

It's unclear what Yingying's mother said, but Yingying kept turning around to look this way, her gaze lingering especially on Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian. Yingying frowned, focusing more on Bai Mengfei.

Seeing this, Jiang Shuai was very curious and said with a smile, "This mother and daughter are acting so mysteriously. I wonder what they're whispering about over there."

"You're so interested? Okay, why don't you go ask her?" Xiang Yuntian joked.

Jiang Shuai quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it! I'm not going to ask. You should be the one going!"

"Me? Give me a break!"

Just as Xiang Yuntian finished speaking, Yingying's mother came back and said, "My husband went to town to fetch a doctor, and he hasn't come back yet. I'm going to go check on him. You young people can stay here and chat, and make yourselves at home."

Yingying quickly came over, gently took her mother's arm with both hands, and said, "Mom, I want to go with you."

"I'm afraid that's not very convenient. How about I go with you, Auntie?" Bai Mengfei offered.

As a man, Jiang Shuai quickly stepped forward and said, "No, I'll go with your mother! I'm a man, and if anything happens while we're walking at night, I can protect her. Besides, it's not convenient for you to show yourselves right now."

Bai Mengfei thought Jiang Shuai's words made sense, so she nodded and said, "Alright, then go ahead!"

Jiang Shuai suddenly felt as if he had been outmaneuvered, and was speechless with astonishment.

After a while, he said, "Uh, okay, then I'll go with your aunt."

Afterwards, Jiang Shuai and Yingying's mother left, leaving only Yingying, Bai Mengfei, and Xiang Yuntian in the room.

The underlying feelings between the three of them were all well aware of each other.

Standing there was a little awkward, so Yingying looked away from the small stool and said with a smile, "Please sit down! Don't be shy. My mom just said to make yourself at home. The police just came to investigate, and I don't think they'll be back anytime soon."

"Okay!" Bai Mengfei, feeling a little embarrassed, walked over and took a small stool to sit down.

Xiang Yuntian also sat down with Bai Mengfei.

Since the room was not very spacious, Yingying had nowhere to sit, so she sat on the bed.

The room was lit entirely by a dim, yellowish light bulb.

Although the room was small, it gave people a clean and warm feeling, and was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers and plants.

After the three of them sat for a while, Bai Mengfei tried to break the awkward atmosphere by saying, "I think this place is quite nice."

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Yingying quickly nodded gently and replied with a smile, "Yes, I think so too."

"Mm." Bai Mengfei nodded as well.

Then, Bai Mengfei asked, "Miss Yingying, how old are you this year?"

Yingying immediately sat up straight and said with a smile, "Just call me Yingying, I'm 23 years old. By the way, how old are you? Is it convenient for you to tell me?"

“Sure!” Xiang Yuntian took over this time. “My name is Xiang Yuntian, and I’m a forensic doctor in the city’s criminal investigation team. But this time when I came here, I encountered some…”

At this point, Xiang Yuntian didn't want to continue, so Bai Mengfei continued, "I am Zhang Ting, also a forensic doctor. I'm 18 years old, younger than Forensic Doctor Xiang. Um, cough cough, you know that there was an accident during our operation."

“Ah, I understand. But I still believe you are innocent,” Yingying said quickly.

Bai Mengfei smiled and asked with a forced smile, "It's good that you believe me. Hmm, so you're not studying anymore, right?"

“Yes, my family wasn’t well-off, so I started working after graduating from junior high school. My mom makes vanilla sachets, so I helped out to supplement the family income.”

Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian did not underestimate Yingying's situation at all. On the contrary, they felt that in this day and age, it was rare to find a girl like Yingying. Moreover, she also possessed a skill that was about to be lost, which made her even more remarkable.

Yingying's appearance gives people a kind, well-behaved and shy feeling.

Although she claimed to be 23 years old, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian thought she was just a 16-year-old girl, perhaps because the village had a good environment and was free from pollution.

Of course, this was just a joke, but Yingying's childlike demeanor does make her seem quite young.

The three sat awkwardly for a while before Xiang Yuntian broke the silence, saying, "Sister Yingying, you are really sensible."

Yingying and Bai Mengfei were both surprised to hear Xiang Yuntian call them "sister".

Yingying quickly smiled and said, "You can just call me Yingying!"

Bai Mengfei turned her head and looked at Xiang Yuntian with a suspicious gaze, wondering whether he was really stupid or pretending.

She thought to herself that she was so much older than Xiang Yuntian in her previous life, yet he never called her "sister" more than a few times. But now he was calling Yingying "sister".

Bai Mengfei felt helpless about Xiang Yuntian's actions from the bottom of her heart, but she also understood that Xiang Yuntian did not have any special feelings for Yingying.

However, she didn't need to look to know that Yingying probably had a good impression of Xiang Yuntian from the moment she met him.

At this moment, Yingying looked at Xiang Yuntian with a sparkling gaze and a flushed face, clearly revealing her deep affection for him.

Therefore, Bai Mengfei tried her best to avoid this fact.

Unexpectedly, Yingying was quite courageous, actually taking the initiative to ask Xiang Yuntian, "Forensic Doctor Xiang, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No! Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" After saying that, Xiang Yuntian realized Yingying's intention and quickly added, "But I already have someone I like."

Yingying immediately turned her gaze to Bai Mengfei, who was sitting next to Xiang Yuntian, and asked, "Is it her?"

"No! It wasn't me! Yingying, don't overthink it." Bai Mengfei still didn't dare to admit her feelings in front of outsiders.

Yingying looked at Bai Mengfei with a suspicious expression and asked curiously, "Really not?"

Xiang Yuntian looked at Bai Mengfei, feeling a little angry, but after hearing Bai Mengfei's denial, he couldn't admit that the person he liked was her.

So, after glancing at Bai Mengfei a few times, he quickly turned his head away and remained silent.

Yingying then asked Xiang Yuntian kindly, "Would you like to be my friend?"

"Of course!" Xiang Yuntian thought Yingying was referring to ordinary friends.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei felt that Xiang Yuntian had agreed on purpose to spite her, which caused a misunderstanding between them and created an instant barrier between them.
