A Western Doctor’s Happy Farming Life[1] chapter 96

Wu Dahu’s eyebrows sank tightly there with his eyes full of sarcasm.

This man didn’t really intend to help Wu Dahu but just wanted to win that femina man. How could he be so cheeky by saying that?

But since it was Song Qinghan’s idea to assist Xiao Lin to win Xu Ziyu’s affection, Wu Dahu didn’t choose to keep Xiao Lin in suspense for a long while, just as he almost arrived at his house, he informed Xiao Lin about something like “Flowers, Rings and Candlelight Dinner”.

Obviously, Xiao Lin seemed to get a way tougher “Wooden Brain” than Wu Dahu had. He delivered an expression of diffidence when he heard Wu Dahu’s words, and smiled in embarrassment as he noticed he was right at the gate of Wu Dahu’s house now, and then he said akwardly, “It might be kind of abrupt, but would you mind me going inside and asking some questions to your husband? It won’t take long. If his methods really work on this matter, then Brother Wu, you will be a great benefactor to me.”

He was indeed very anxious because he was now acting like he was at his wit’s end, while he didn’t even think of Wu Dahu’s answer whether he would give a hand or not.

Wu Dahu kept his silence there pushing open the gate, while Xiao Lin hurriedly rushed to Song Qinghan under Wu Dahu’s tacit forbearance. Xiao Lin was showing all his earnest now, it was a figure now far cry from the previous one.

In the face of Xiao Lin who was seemingly possessing a characteristic of “Straight Man Cancer”, Song Qinghan shook his head with resignation. But yet, he could still understand that because Xiao Lin and Wu Dahu should be notional “Straight Man” in this queerly ancient world, after all. He should have thought that most of men weren’t born with romantic genes, and he shouldn’t have expected for that.

Therefore, after a brief moment of pondering, he decided to demonstrate the details to Xiao Lin, “From tomorrow on, you should bring Xu Ziyu a bunch of fresh China roses every morning when he meet him. If he asks you the reason, just tell him that the China roses represent a love of eternity. If he doesn’t accept that, you should place the flowers neatly on his seat. Remember! Once you decide to send them out, you can’t take them back.”

Well, the reason why Song Qinghan would recommend China rose instead of rose was because that he had made a research in a flower fair before. The real rose didn’t grow here, only red China rose could be traced. But the price for it…

Obviously, Xiao Lin was not someone who needed to worry about money. When he heard Song Qinghan’s introduction about the China roses, he rose his voice, asking, “How many flowers in a bunch? Should I send him the whole flowerpot, or should I pick them all in a pack?”

Song Qinghan couldn’t help but burst into laughter when the image of Xiao Lin holding several flowerpots and delivering them to Xu Ziyu popped up in his mind, he then shook his head vigorously, saying, “Of course you should pick the flowers, and as for the quantity, it all depends on you. If you pick one, it delivers a meaning of ‘HE IS THE ONLY LOVE’. If you pick two, they represent ‘A COUPLE OF THE WHOLE LIFE’. And nine means ‘LOVE FOR ETERNITY’. And, if you can get Nine hundred and ninety-nine China roses, I don’t think Xu Ziyu is going to reject your love.”

Nine hundred and ninety-nine? Xiao Lin got his mouth opened wide.

And then he asked again, “Then what about the jewelry thing? I am not sure what he likes the most. Should I take him to the jewelry shop directly? What if he doesn’t like to go there with me?”

“Listen to yourself! Don’t make yourself brainless if you want to woo someone. Just pay attention to observing! You should find out the answer yourself from his daily costume, to see what daily jewelry he wears. Or you can ask him in an implicit way and then go and buy! Remember the rule, the more expensive, the better. Just purchase the most expensive one within your tolerance.” Song Qinghan rolled his eyes and said.

“After the purchasing, pick a special date and make an appointment with him. Send him the jewelry under the sunset, and open the pack in front of him. And it would be much better if you can help him wear the jewelry. In such a way you must be impressive to him.”

Xiao Lin widened his eyes with a look of complete shock. And then he made a bow with his hands folded in front, saying, “Childe Song, your remarks are more inspiring than what I have read in ten years. I appreciate that.”

“Then…what about the last recommendation?”

Song Qinghan said calmly, “Of course, the last thing is to make a proposal. Pick a nice place and ask him out for dinner. Get all the China roses you are able to get and tear all the petals off. At the moment when Xu Ziyu comes inside the room, you get someone to spread the petals and produce a petal shower. Remember, along the route leading Xu Ziyu in you should place various candles on its two sides. And when he gets on the seat and tastes the dishes you make, the last thing for you to do is to confess and make a proposal, ask him to marry you.”

After that, an embarrassment flashed across Xiao Lin’s face once again, he answered awkwardly, “I, I can’t cook!”

Song Qinghan got no words while Wu Dahu broke in, saying, “You can learn! Or you can hire a chef for a day, and when he finish cooking, you come out from the kitchen with the dishes in your hands.”

The penny dropped all of a sudden, the embarrassment in Xiao Lin’s eyes turned into an excitement, he said happliy, “How dumb I am! Thank you so much for advising, Brother Wu, Childe Song! Then I think I have figured out everything now, I will go for the red China roses.”

And then he rose from the seat, but another question in his mind dragged his steps, he came to ask with curiosity, “One more question, why should I get RED China roses? How about the other colors?”

After all, this flower delivery was not a matter of a day or two. Even if he delivered one each day, the quantity would be large as the time went by. So it would be much easier to get a China rose in random color instead of a special one.

Song Qinghan answered tiredly, “What color do you use when you’re going to have a wedding ceremony?”

Xiao Lin pondered, at the end he got an expression of sudden enlightenment. He made a bow again and then headed out the house in a quick move.

After Xiao Lin left, Wu Dahu seemed to be quite anxious either, he turned to Song Qinghan and said, “I got something important to handle, I’m going out now.”

Song Qinghan looked at him skeptically. But just as he was about to ask, Wu Dahu rushed out hurriedly without giving a chance for Song Qinghan to react.

WHAT? Why was Wu Dahu acting so strangely today? They had never been apart the other time except the period Wu Dahu practiced in the club. It made no sense that Wu Dahu got some secrets behind Song Qinhan since they were glued together all the time. And, was there really an important thing required him to go out?

Did he get an affair? No, he wouldn’t! They just got here!

Although he knew that there was no logic to this idea, Song Qinghan was still being kind of pessimistic thinking of this. As his thought got wilder and wilder, he got a bit more depressed and held Little Shitou in his arms, “Baby Shitou, if your daddy is going to abandon us, I will definitely take you with me! I won’t let your step femina father bully you.”

Little Shitou giggled as he smiled from ear to ear because he never knew what Song Qinghan meant by saying that. And then he reached out to grab Song Qinghan’s hair with his tiny hands and tucked them all in his own mouth.

Yuan Wenxuan, who just came back from Huichun Shop, noticed the sentimental countenance shown on Song Qinghan’s face. He got a bit shocked but didn’t bother Song Qinghan by asking something annoying, he just pursed his lips and then approached to tease Little Shitou by grabbing his tiny hands and saved him from “Eating” the hair. And then he turned to Song Qinghan, consoling, “Master, I will always stay in your boat no matter what’s going to happen. If you get nowhere to stay, go with me to my house.”

Song Qinghan was embarrassed as he found out that his disciple came back staring him with his blinking eyes. And then he placed Little Shitou gently in the Yuan Wenxuan’s arms. “I will go and check the meal now for a minute.” he said and then rushed to the kitchen without even looking into Yuan Wenxuan’s eyes.

When he came out of the kitchen, Wu Dahu happened to come back. Both of them looked at each other, embarrassed, and then they coughed respectively, taking their eyes off the other party.

“Here, this is for you.” said Wu Dahu.

Two China roses emerged in front of Song Qinghan when Song Qinghan looked down bending over to arrange the stools aside his feet. He got surprised at first, but then deliver a wry smile, asking, “What is this for?”

Seeing that Wu Dahu became rather anxious, Song Qinghan paused and took over the China roses, approached and sniffed the roses, and then he said happily, “Wow, it smells so good and it looks so beautiful! I love it, thank you, Dahu.”

Wu Dahu smiled big. It could be seen from his expression that the smile on his face was full of happiness, and the anxiety dissipated, turning into delight. He nodded with satisfaction, saying, “I’m so glad you love it. From now on, I will deliver you one every single day.”

Love was in the air right at the moment. Though Song Qinghan thought that it was quite amusing when a man with a “Wooden Brain” was enlightened all of a sudden, he still felt quite warm in his mind. At least Wu Dahu’s reaction towards this matter reflected the fact that he was still a man of responsibility, of romance and affection. At least Song Qinghan could set his mind at rest now.

“You don’t have to send me flowers every single day! If you really want to show your love to me, don’t send me something on purpose. I will keep them as treasures no matter what you will give me. Aren’t you capable of making some novelties? Get me some if you get spare time to make.” Song Qinghan responded.

His face blushed suddenly when he thought he was now begging for something as he talked, and then he coughed dryly, saying, “Let’s have dinner now. You must be exhausted now for the practicing. Let’s entertain our stomachs, and get ready for tomorrow.”

Wu Dahu smiled, saying, “Tomorrow is my day-off, let’s head to the mountain.”

Song Qinghan was surprised hearing that, he then asked with curiosity, “Does everyone get the day-off? I thought Martial Club doesn’t have any day-off at all.”

Wu Dahu shook his head and explained, “I have had broken through the limitation which long bothered me in my practice. So I just asked Brother He for a day-off, and in addition, I can get myself a wood stick to practice in the mountain too. It won’t be something troublesome.”

Knowing that Wu Dahu had deliberately taken a leave for himself, Song Qinghan felt even warmer in his mind. He got his face reddened as if he got burned by the fire.

Although Yuan Wenxuan was playing with Little Shitou in the room, he had been pricking up his ears eavesdropping. Noticing that Song Qinghan looked like he was fine and got an even deeper relationship with Wu Dahu, he scratched himself on the head in confusion and couldn’t understand what was going on.

Well, at least he memorized those two China roses in his mind. He thought he might get a chance to cheer someone else up by delivering them the flowers.

After dinner, Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu wandered together around the yard for a walk. They talked while they were walking, about everything happened these recent days, about Little Shitou, about Martial Club. It was not until Little Shitou cried to sleep did they come back the bedroom together. It was a day of sweetness.
