Ji Yunxi's heart skipped a beat when she saw the serious look in his eyes.
"I've had this headache for a while. Although it hasn't flared up recently and the intervals between attacks are getting longer, when it does flare up, the pain is more intense."
Jiang Linyin nodded upon hearing this. After a moment of thought, he said, "Your condition can be treated, but I need some things."
Feng Xingzhi couldn't wait to ask, "What things do you need?"
Jiang Linyin was annoyed at being interrupted. He glared at Feng Xingzhi and said, "I'm talking to this young lady. What are you butting in for?"
However, the next second, he beamed at Ji Yunxi and said, "This is not difficult. As long as you let me watch the Yiyun Dance, I'll cure you right away! I guarantee it. If I can't, you can chop off my head!"
Ji Yunxi was a bit helpless. This man clearly had outstanding medical skills, but why was he so glib-tongued?
Feng Xingzhi was irritated by Jiang Linyin's attitude. But since Yunxi's hand was still in his, he forced himself to calm down.
"I understand. Then, Mr. Jiang, we'll meet at the Bamboo Elegance Tower in five days. Azhi will take you in then."
Feng Xingzhi looked up at him. Jiang Linyin didn't expect that it would be Feng Xingzhi who would take him in. He wilted a bit and said cheerfully, "Sure, then I'll trouble you."
Feng Xingzhi stared at him coldly and suddenly asked, "You're so confident you can save Yunxi?"
"Of course."
"What if you can't, even after you've watched the dance?"
Jiang Linyin was a bit impatient. "Didn't I say I can definitely cure her!"
Ji Yunxi smiled and stepped forward. "Mr. Jiang, don't be angry. We're just appropriately skeptical. After all, you're not very old, and you haven't really explained my condition in detail. You should understand our doubts, right?"
Hearing Ji Yunxi trying to smooth things over, Jiang Linyin had to take the opportunity to back down. "The condition is serious. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. But it's no problem for me. You just go and get the tickets for the Yiyun Dance. Just wait for me. If I really can't cure you in the end, I'll offer my life in apology."
"Good! Mr. Jiang, a promise is a promise. I'm truly impressed. See you at the Bamboo Elegance Tower in five days."
After saying that, Feng Xingzhi pulled Ji Yunxi away, not wanting them to say another word to each other.
Jiang Linyin stood in front of the thatched cottage and shouted, "Then I'll trouble this young man!" Then he lowered his head and smiled. "This is really interesting."
After leaving the thatched cottage, Feng Xingzhi looked gloomy all the way, as if someone had just offended him.
"Azhi, are you in a bad mood?"
Feng Xingzhi was even angrier seeing that Ji Yunxi didn't seem to mind Jiang Linyin's obsequiousness at all.
"Jiang Linyin is not a good person."
Ji Yunxi seemed to smell a hint of jealousy in the air. She put her hands behind her back and looked at Feng Xingzhi. "Azhi, are you jealous?"
Feng Xingzhi's expression froze. Thinking about what he had just said, he immediately felt a bit embarrassed.
"I... I'm just angry that Jiang Linyin is always so obsequious to you..."
Ji Yunxi looked at him in slight surprise. She didn't expect him to actually admit it. She couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Azhi, you're so cute."
The two of them returned to the Bamboo Elegance Tower. Ji Yunxi still had a big smile on her face.
Lu Shu and Qing Xuan rushed over. "Master (Madam), what did the doctor say?"
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows cheerfully. "Mr. Jiang said..."
She deliberately paused, not saying it directly. Lu Shu was so anxious that he rushed forward. "Madam, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us quickly!"
"Don't worry. He said it can be treated."
When Zhu Wanyi came downstairs, she saw Qing Xuan and Lu Shu beaming with joy. Naturally, she knew that there was a good solution to Ji Yunxi's problem.
"Master, congratulations on getting the result you wanted."
Ji Yunxi nodded with a smile.
But after Zhu Wanyi finished speaking, her expression faded a bit. "Master, there's a problem with the dance dress. The time is a bit tight, and the tailor shop can't make it in time."
Seeing her so disappointed, Ji Yunxi comforted her. "It's okay. Don't worry. I can wear any clothes."
Feng Xingzhi glanced at Ji Yunxi but didn't say anything.
In the following days, Ji Yunxi practiced dancing non - stop for several days. She even hardly had time to eat.
Remembering what Zhu Wanyi had said that day, Feng Xingzhi walked to the largest clothing store in the city.
"Sir! Are you looking for some clothes?"
"I want to order a dance costume."
The shopkeeper looked stunned. "What style of dance costume does the sir want?"
Feng Xingzhi thought of the way Ji Yunxi danced these days. He asked the shopkeeper for some paper and a pen and drew the style of the dance costume on the paper.
The shopkeeper took a look, thought for a moment, and then smiled. "Sir, your dance costume is really beautiful. But we don't have a ready - made one like this. However, there's a similar one. Would you like to take a look?"
Feng Xingzhi nodded. He followed the shopkeeper and saw the ready - made dress. Although it was still a bit different from what he had in mind, it was almost the same.
"Shopkeeper, please help me modify it."
On the day of the Yiyun Dance performance, Feng Xingzhi knocked on Ji Yunxi's door early in the morning.
"Yunxi, this is for you."
Ji Yunxi looked at the dance costume in surprise. Then she happily took it into the room.
Originally, she was a bit regretful because there was no dance costume. But now that Feng Xingzhi had brought one, she couldn't help but feel sweet.
When the dance costume was unfolded, Ji Yunxi was very surprised. This dance costume was almost the same as the one she had worn when she was Yunxi. Did Feng Xingzhi remember something?!
When she put it on, she still noticed some differences.
The material of the dance costume was of excellent quality. Inside the wide silk sleeves were hidden water sleeves, which could create a gorgeous cloud - like effect during the dance. The skirt was layered, and the waistline was just right.
Ji Yunxi looked at herself in the mirror and was very touched.
She took a deep breath, opened the door in the dance costume. The moment Feng Xingzhi saw her, he stood still on the spot.
"Yunxi..."
Ji Yunxi felt a bit embarrassed. She slightly raised her eyes and looked at him.
"Azhi, stop looking at me... Go and see if Jiang Linyin is here."
Feng Xingzhi nodded slightly. He held her hand and walked downstairs. He asked Lu Shu and Qing Xuan to protect Ji Yunxi, and then he walked away with peace of mind.
Qing Xuan and Lu Shu had never seen Ji Yunxi like this before. They kept circling around her.
Feng Xingzhi came to the entrance of the Bamboo Elegance Tower and saw Jiang Linyin craning his neck to look inside.
"Mr. Jiang, this way, please."
Jiang Linyin walked smoothly into the Bamboo Elegance Tower and couldn't help asking Feng Xingzhi, "When will the Yiyun Dance start?"
"Soon. Wait for me to take you to the private room."
After taking him to the seat that Ji Yunxi had arranged for him in advance, Feng Xingzhi left.
And the dance was about to begin.
