Chapter 45 Shocking beauty

1504 Words
    Jacob Ye leaned over the top of the brick wall and looked inside. For a moment, he was mesmerized by the amazing scene in the courtyard.     What he meant by "amazing" was not the flowers all over the yard, but the girl who was watering the plants.     This girl was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and she was beautiful. She wore a yellow shirt and a pair of black shorts. Her long legs were slender and smooth, and her face was extremely good looking. Although Jacob could only see half her face, he could tell that she was a startling beauty.     In addition, in the courtyard, there were many beautiful flowers and butterflies dancing in the air. The girl was only showing half of her timid face and carefully watered the flowers in the courtyard. It was a quiet and tranquil scene.     Although he was watching from a distance, Jacob Ye was good at observing people's breathing. He already knew that the girl was in good health and was not ill at all. According to Master Tao, this girl was his own granddaughter, Molly Tao.     "Could it be that Master Tao intended to matchmake us?" Jacob Ye thought to himself.     While he was entertaining his own thoughts, the girl had already noticed the movement by the wall and immediately shouted, "Who's there?"     Jacob Ye was shocked and hurriedly sat upright. He walked up to the gate and gently knocked.     With a creak, the door was opened from the inside. Molly Tao stood at the door.     "Hello, I am..."     When Jacob Ye was about to introduce himself when he was suddenly stunned and could not speak.     The beautiful face of the girl had appeared before him. He noticed her extraordinary temperament, and her tranquillity as if she were a fairy descending on earth.     However, what surprised Jacob Ye was not her beauty, but her eyes. Her eyes were extremely cold and devoid of any expression. Looking at her, Jacob Ye felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.     He finally understood why Master Tao said she was sick. Yes, she was indeed sick. No normal person would have such cold eyes.     "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Molly Tao's tone was as cold as her eyes, without any emotion.     " I'm a friend of Elderly Tao. My name is Jacob Ye. I'm here to treat your illness." Jacob Ye felt uncomfortable under her cold gaze. He was nervous and inadvertently blurted out his original intention.     "You are the one who is sick." Molly Tao slammed the door shut.     Jacob Ye felt a little embarrassed. It would be good if Master Tao or Ryan Tao had followed him here. But if they followed, it was not convenient for him to observe Molly Tao's condition. Her illness was obviously emotional and psychological. It was really difficult for traditional Chinese medicine to treat this.     After thinking for a moment, Jacob Ye knocked on the door.     The next time the door was opened, a cold voice sounded. "If you don't leave, I'll call the police right away."     "I'm really a friend of Elderly Tao. Why don't you call him and ask..." Jacob Ye smiled bitterly.     "Bang."     Before he could finish, the door was closed again.     Jacob Ye didn't give up and knocked on the door again.     Unexpectedly, as soon as he knocked this time, the door suddenly opened and Molly Tao threw out a basin of water, her face defiant.     Jacob Ye was shocked and quickly avoided the water so that he would not be drenched.     "Bang." The door slammed shut heavily.     This irritated Jacob Ye. He circled to the side of the gate and jumped into the courtyard over a wall a meter high.     At this time, Molly Tao had just hung up the phone and did not take any action. Obviously, she had made a phone call to confirm that Jacob Ye really knew her grandfather.     However, she still did not like Jacob Ye. She glanced at him coldly and then continued to water her flowers carefully.     It was summer, and she was dressed at a minimum. When she bent down, her fair skin under her collar appeared, which made Jacob Ye feel warmth in his nose and he was almost nose-bleeding.     "Is it beautiful?" Looking at Jacob Ye's eyes coldly, Molly Tao stood up coldly.     "It's beautiful..." Jacob Ye nodded subconsciously, but he suddenly stopped talking. He smiled awkwardly and said, "The flowers are really beautiful."     She glanced at Jacob Ye coldly and then turned to the other pool. She put a bucket beside the pool and then switched on the tap. She quietly watched the water flow out.     Jacob Ye didn't know what to say, because Molly Tao was too cold, especially her eyes. There was hardly a trace of emotion in them. Even in the hot summer, her cold eyes made Jacob Ye feel a chill.     "Well, I can help you check your pulse," Jacob Ye said.     "I'm not sick..."     "I am a doctor. I have the authority to decide if you are ill," Jacob Ye said.     "I'm also a doctor. I'm a doctor from the School of Chinese Medicine. I know better than anyone whether I'm sick or not," Molly Tao said coldly.     "Er..." Jacob Ye's expression froze. He felt that he was showing off. Although he had some medical skills, he still had no license yet.     "I'm not referring to your body, but your spirit," Jacob Ye said.     "You're crazy... You are abnormal from head to toe."     "I'm not saying that you have a mental illness, but..." Jacob Ye's description became worse.     Molly Tao's face grew even colder, and there was no emotion in her eyes. Looking at her eyes, it seemed that she was jaded about everything in this world.     Judging from her facial expression, she had some tendency of mental illness, and her condition was very serious.     These kinds of patients had usually suffered mental trauma or emotional setbacks. It was no wonder that David Tao couldn't do anything about it despite being a great doctor, so he had to ask Jacob Ye for help.     "Well, since you are not ill, why did you take the sleeping soup last night?" Jacob Ye asked.     Molly Tao's expression froze. How did he know she had taken the sleeping soup?     But then she restored her cold expression, she said, "I don't sleep well. I don't need others to help me with this little disease. Besides, what does it have to do with you?"     "I'm afraid it's not just insomnia. You're helpless and afraid of everyone around you. You're anxious and not interested in everything in this world. You're like a completely closed door, separating yourself from this world."     "Bullshit." Molly Tao looked a little angry.     "Aside from your grandfather and brother, you are not close to anyone. You hate men in this world, even your father. You don't get close to women either. You only feel that all people in the world are hypocritical..."     "Enough, stop talking..."     Jacob Ye stopped talking and just stared at her. After a long time, he said, "You're a Chinese Medicine student. You should know that birds of a feather flock together and that people are meant to live in groups. It's impossible for a lonely person to completely seal herself up."     He sighed again, "If I'm not mistaken, you have never fallen in love, so grandpa and brother are your closest men. Chinese medicine requires Yin and Yang to be balanced, and the balance of Yin and Yang is the right way. But you just shut yourself up. How can you be... not sick?"     "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you." After a moment of silence, Molly Tao still said without any hesitation. She stared at the bucket under the tap. The bucket was already filled with water, but the tap was still running, and the running water overflowed from the full bucket.     "There are too many things in your heart, just like this bucket. Once it is filled, it will overflow. You are isolated from this world and are on the verge of collapse. If it goes on like this, you will be destroyed in your own isolated place."     "So what? There is nothing to miss in this world." Molly Tang said coldly.     "You have your grandfather, your younger brother, and... the blooming flowers in the yard," Jacob Ye said.     "Even if your heart is as white as ashes, there is always something you can miss in this world." Jacob Ye shouted.     "I don't." Molly Tang shouted coldly, but her voice was as cold as ice, trembling slightly.     "You do. It is precisely because there are few things that can be cherished by you in this world that you are even more afraid of losing them. Think about it. Once your spirit breaks down, you will become unconscious. You won’t even remember your grandfather and brother. At that time, you will be isolated from this world forever."
