Even After My Death-Chapter 692 - 591 Lou Yingyan’s Secret Crush

If the scene of Jiang Ning and Lou Yingyan taking shelter from the rain under the eaves is just a simple tease from some audience members who like shipping CPs,

then what follows makes it hard not to suspect that Lou Yingyan’s feelings for Jiang Ning are different from those for other guests.

No matter how heavy the rain, there will always be a time when it stops.

After drizzling for more than ten minutes, the rain gradually subsided.

When the rain was almost stopping, the crowd sheltering at the village chief’s house started picking up their things, bidding farewell to each other, and heading back home.

Before everyone ran to the village chief’s house to take shelter, they were more or less wet. The first thing they did after returning home was to change clothes, and those with the means could even take a hot shower.

Jiang Ning was one of those with the means.

She was staying at the home of Auntie Liu’s family this time and rushed back home during the rain. Auntie Liu had already prepared hot water in the kitchen waiting for the others to return.

Having lived here for more than a week, Jiang Ning had already realized that the people of Sanwan Village were simple and kind-hearted.

She immediately went back to her room to grab clean clothes to change into, and fetched hot water to bathe and wash her hair.

When she came out after washing, she immediately saw Lou Yingyan standing in the yard talking to Auntie Liu.

It seemed Lou Yingyan had also taken a shower and changed into a set of clothes. He was tall, clean, and fresh.

Perhaps it was because she knew he was a doctor, but Jiang Ning always felt that his temperament was somewhat different from others. Even though he wasn’t wearing a white lab coat at the moment, he was like a pine tree in the mountains, exuding an indescribable tranquility and calmness.

As Jiang Ning saw Lou Yingyan, Lou Yingyan also noticed Jiang Ning coming out of the house.

Seeing Jiang Ning seemed to have just finished her bath, Lou Yingyan greeted her with a smile, "Jiang Ning, I just went back and made some ginger tea. I brought some over, you can have a bowl later to dispel the cold."

"Sure, thank you." Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised, not expecting him to be so considerate.

"I made a lot, everyone has a share. If you find it tastes okay after drinking, you can come over to get more." Lou Yingyan added.

He came over this time specifically to deliver the ginger tea, and after saying this, he didn’t linger and quickly left.

Watching Lou Yingyan’s tall figure disappear outside the door, Auntie Liu retracted her gaze and couldn’t help saying to Jiang Ning, "This young man is really nice. He’s so young yet so down-to-earth, considerate in his work, and speaks so gently.

I just asked him so many questions, and not only was he not impatient at all, but he also personally helped me massage my wrist.

And to my surprise, with just that one massage, the hand that had been aching for days was suddenly all better! It doesn’t hurt at all now!

Truly deserving of being a doctor!"

Clearly, Auntie Liu was very satisfied with this young man, Lou Yingyan.

Jiang Ning asked, "Auntie Liu, what happened to your hand?"

"It’s nothing now. Doctor Lou just said there was a cyst in my wrist, and he massaged it away. It’s not a big deal." Auntie Liu waved her hand with a smile, then immediately went inside to get a bowl of warm ginger tea for Jiang Ning, saying, "Quick, quick, drink it while it’s hot. This was specially brought over by Doctor Lou. We’ve all had some, and this is the only bowl left for you. It won’t taste as good once it’s cold."

Jiang Ning reached out to take it, "Okay."

Looking at the bowl of ginger tea, Auntie Liu’s desire to pour out her thoughts grew, "Just now when I drank it, I already noticed that the taste of this ginger tea was different from the one I used to make myself. So I asked about it and found out he’s a doctor. Besides ginger, he put in a few herbs that are safe even for the elderly and children to drink. Not only do they dispel cold, but they also strengthen the body. When I asked, he immediately told me those herbs."

"Such a handsome young man with such a good personality and a decent job, it’s surprising that he’s still single! It’s a pity that my daughter is married. Even if she wasn’t, she wouldn’t be good enough for him!"

As Auntie Liu spoke, she observed Jiang Ning’s reaction.

But Jiang Ning was seriously drinking the ginger tea, not looking at her, so Auntie Liu couldn’t be sure whether Jiang Ning understood her meaning.

[Hahaha, Auntie Liu, you’re something!]

[The intention is so obvious, it’s reaching right into Jiang Ning’s eyes, isn’t it?]

[Whether it reached Jiang Ning’s eyes or not is unclear, but it definitely reached us watching the screen!]

[Goodness, just a bowl of ginger tea and she’s won over! It’s been such a short time, and helpers are already popping up. Qi Xingzhou, if you don’t show up soon, your wife truly might be gone!]

Jiang Ning might not be aware because she was just taking a shower, but the audience in front of the screen had eagle eyes.

Especially those netizens on Lou Yingyan’s live stream, their eyes were extraordinarily bright!

Just as the rain stopped, everyone rushed home, and Lou Yingyan was no exception.

But after going back, instead of changing into clean clothes to shower right away, Lou Yingyan went to the kitchen to start a fire, preparing the ginger needed for ginger tea, and washing some herbs he had picked while on the mountain these days.

Only after preparing the initial work did he let someone watch the fire while he quickly took a shower, then squatted back in the kitchen.

When the first bowl of ginger tea was ready, Lou Yingyan didn’t drink it himself, and even the family he stayed with drank the second and third bowls...

As for the first bowl, of course, it was delivered to Jiang Ning first.

Lou Yingyan filled a lidded ceramic basin with ginger tea and personally brought it over.

Auntie Liu’s family was flattered to receive the ginger tea and genuinely believed Lou Yingyan’s explanation that he was a doctor who made a lot of ginger tea for everyone in the village to ward off the cold.

But in fact, the intention was so obvious, wasn’t it far too evident?

After returning, as he said, it’s true that the other guests also had their share. Not only the other guests, but the show crew and villagers also came to drink the ginger tea.

Everyone got a bowl, and it made them warm all over.

However, apart from Jiang Ning’s host family, no other family received the treatment of Lou Yingyan personally delivering ginger tea to their door.

Other guests and villagers, just like the children bribed with a few candies by Lou Yingyan, were informed by the children to come over and drink it.

This made it clear how special and unusual it was for Lou Yingyan to send ginger tea to Jiang Ning’s host family.

Everyone praised how nice Lou Yingyan was, not only becoming a doctor at such a young age, but even though it wasn’t his working time at the hospital, he was worried about everyone catching a cold and voluntarily made ginger tea to warm everyone. This showed how responsible the young man was.

Only the family with whom Lou Yingyan stayed and Auntie Liu with whom Jiang Ning stayed were smart enough to notice something, as well as some audience members in front of the screen who guessed the truth.

[I was wondering before, why would Lou Yingyan, a doctor from the People’s Hospital, come to participate in a variety show for no reason?]

[Exactly! Even if Li Mingyu couldn’t make it at the last minute, they should have found another celebrity from the industry as a replacement.]

[Haha, if he came for Jiang Ning, then it makes perfect sense.]

[Makes sense +1]

[But for things like fate, it depends on Jiang Ning. Luckily, Jiang Ning isn’t a celebrity, so even if she dates, she doesn’t have to worry about being criticized.]

[I feel Jiang Ning might not know; she doesn’t have the god-like vision we do. Lou Yingyan is quite reserved too; in fact, he cared about Jiang Ning several times, but always under the pretense of caring for everyone...]

[Hahaha, he cared for everyone just to care for Jiang Ning.]

[This is truly what it’s like to secretly love someone, caring for everyone around just for the sake of caring for that one person. Wanting to be nice to her, but afraid of being discovered.]

[Suddenly feeling sorry for Lou.]

[Sigh, wonder when Jiang Ning will realize it.]

...

The guests didn’t know, but Jiang Ning had already realized.

When Lou Yingyan appeared as a substitute guest, Jiang Ning recognized him—the man she saved from an armed assailant in the corridor of the Capital City People’s Hospital not long ago.

When she first saw Lou Yingyan participate in this variety show live stream, Jiang Ning recognized him but didn’t think much of it, let alone narcissistically think he came for her.

But this strange notion that she never considered

turned out to be the closest to the truth.
