After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 246 - 171: Lovestruck and Unmotivated at Work
Ning Youguang didn’t speak.
In the end, after a long silence, she embraced Shi Wangyue.
Her hand rested on his back, gently stroking his stiff body as she had done countless times in childhood, until he relaxed.
After a while.
She gently said, "Good night."
This night accompanied by the sounds of frogs and cicadas.
Moonlight filtered through the sheer window, casting a soft glow inside the tent.
On this night, Ning Youguang slept well, and Shi Wangyue did not suffer from insomnia.
They both had beautiful dreams.
...
Being awakened by the sunrise and birds is completely different from being woken by an alarm clock.
At six o’clock in the morning.
The entire campsite’s greenery gradually awoke under the gentle kiss of the sunlight.
Everything around was so pure that it was refreshing, like a light ink painting, filled with the pleasant scent of fresh grass.
Shi Wangyue woke slightly earlier than Ning Youguang and discovered Ning Youguang was still asleep, her eyes closed, her breathing calm.
It was a marvelous and wonderful morning.
Waking up and opening your eyes to see someone you’ve dreamed of countless times.
A strong feeling of emotion and happiness naturally arose in his heart.
Even when asleep, the person before him looked beautiful.
In his life, besides the person in front of him, he had never seen a face so exquisite, whose beauty allowed for no sedimentation, as if all the words of praise could never quite do her justice.
...
When Ning Youguang woke up, she saw Shi Wangyue smiling gently as he looked at her.
She felt a bit dazed and quickly recalled the previous night...
She shrank her head back into the sleeping bag, took a few deep breaths, then scrambled out of the sleeping bag, "I’m going to brush my teeth and wash my face."
Shi Wangyue chuckled lightly, "Okay."
...
Ning Youguang, with a toothbrush in her mouth, squatted at the edge of the campsite, absentmindedly letting her thoughts wander.
Beneath her feet, dew-laden patches of grass and misty scenery from the mountains below formed quite a fairy-like and beautiful picture.
Yet she couldn’t help but fixate her gaze on a small red flower swaying beside a distant rock.
She was brushing her teeth absent-mindedly.
After hurriedly finishing brushing her teeth, she poured the remaining half bottle of water on her face and felt significantly more awake.
A gentle and smiling voice came from behind, "Wipe your face."
Someone handed over a snow-white disposable face towel.
"Thank you," Ning Youguang naturally handed her toothbrush and the empty toothpaste box to him.
Shi Wangyue reached out, took them, and placed them into a sealable bag to be disposed of down the mountain in a trash can.
...
The scenery outside the window flew by, and refreshing forest winds blew in.
Ning Youguang’s heart gradually regained its calm.
Soon, the two arrived at "Jade Lake" in Dachai Town.
"I feel like I’m in heaven," Ning Youguang said, stretching her arms as if to embrace, "The varied colors of the salt pools here form what I love."
Shi Wangyue also felt an indescribable beauty.
...
In the evening, at a herdsman’s home.
"After washing your face, apply this," Ning Youguang handed a bottle of facial lotion to Shi Wangyue.
Shi Wangyue used a tissue to dry the water off his face, somewhat amused, as he began applying the skincare product.
Traveling in the northwest wasn’t entirely an enjoyment.
The result of spending a long time beside the salt pools was sand particles all over their faces.
After Shi Wangyue finished applying the skincare products, Ning Youguang handed him an eye cream.
"..." Shi Wangyue was tempted to refuse.
"Use it, otherwise you’ll have dry lines around your eyes," Ning Youguang chuckled softly.
After washing their faces and applying skincare products in the bathroom, they felt a bit more comfortable.
Then they entered the herdsman’s living room together, ready to enjoy dinner.
In the herdsman’s living room, many guests were already seated, and the herdsman’s children, dressed in traditional clothing, were constantly serving delicious dishes on the guests’ tables.
There were roast lamb, roasted yak meat, along with barley wine and butter tea.
The herdsman’s lamb and yak meat were from their own pastures, and thus had no gamey taste.
Ning Youguang enjoyed her meal.
Shi Wangyue...
He was actually a bit hesitant to eat much, afraid of getting inflamed.
So he simply swirled potatoes and radishes in the lamb hotpot, sipping butter tea cup after cup.
Many people from the Han area aren’t accustomed to the taste of butter tea.
Shi Wangyue found it acceptable.
After all, he had to avoid excessive drinking and meat consumption, right?
The herdsman’s pretty daughter noticed that this handsome young man enjoyed the butter tea and happily paid extra attention to him, constantly refilling his cup.
Taking advantage of the herdsman’s children going to perform songs and dances, Ning Youguang leaned over to Shi Wangyue beside her and whispered, "There’s a custom here of refilling any empty butter tea cup to avoid stomach discomfort, so it’s best for us to leave two-thirds in the cup each time for convenience."
Shi Wangyue exhaled lightly.
As dinner drew to a close, the herdsmen invited guests to dance around the bonfire in the courtyard.
Guests lined up, waiting to be presented with a Khata.
Shi Wangyue’s phone kept receiving calls.
He stood behind Ning Youguang, guarding her while repeatedly hanging up.
After hanging up several times, he grew annoyed and decided to temporarily block an untactful caller.
Before blocking, he sent a message:
[0:[Picture][Picture] Sorry, I’m currently immersed in love, no interest in work.]
[Yun Ze Wu: ???]
...
Stars twinkled brightly, one, two, three... shining, flickering, like mischievous, naive, yet mysterious and wise eyes.
Ning Youguang sneezed in the night breeze.
This was a very quiet road, the car window reflecting two blurry young faces.
Shi Wangyue saw that she remained silent, seemingly lost in thought as she gazed outside, and after a long while, he sighed softly, "Why do you want to watch a sky burial?"
[Because I have lessons on death to face.]
"Have you noticed that many people here die in tranquil and harmonious environments?" Ning Youguang asked after a slight moment of silence.
Shi Wangyue nodded, "They are welcoming death."
"Yes, most of them live prepared for a good death," Ning Youguang slowly said, "But people over there either deny death or live in fear of it; even mentioning death is taboo, as if talking about death would bring misfortune. But observing people here, I see that death neither depresses nor excites them; it simply is a fact of life."
"Are you searching for the meaning of death and life?" Shi Wangyue asked.
"Yes."
The previous life ended unexpectedly.
In this life, she hopes to find wisdom, to use life to prepare for the unforeseen in death.
She doesn’t want to face the unknown empty-handed when death arrives.
She doesn’t know...
how long she will live. 1314
