Elixir Supplier Chapter 199 Single Man and Single Woman Separated by a Single Door

Wang Yao drove Tong Wei to her house, stopping the car at the bottom of the stairs.

“Why don’t you come up and sit for a while?”

“Sure.”

Wang Yao followed Tong Wei up the stairs. After entering, Tong Wei poured him a glass of water and then took off her outer coat.

It was already May, and the weather was getting warmer. Tong Wei was wearing a blouse that showed off her graceful curves.

A single man, a single woman—both were gathered together in the same room.

The man was willing; the woman too was willing.

Wang Yao felt his heartbeat racing, and he silently recited some lines from his scriptures. Slowly, his heart calmed down.

“How about staying here for the night?” As she said this, Tong Wei’s face flushed, as though she was intoxicated.

Her beauty was like a flower. It was seductive. Truly seductive!

Eh?!

Wang Yao was stunned after hearing that.

Staying over? Who knew what could happen as the night deepened.

…

The night was quiet and beautiful.

One doorway separated the man and woman.

The important thing was that the door was not locked and could be pushed open at any time.

Tong Wei was lying on her bed, looking at the door. She wore light purple pajamas which were so thin one could faintly see her white skin underneath.

Wang Yao was lying on the sofa, and he constantly turned his head to look at the door. His heart had never beat as fast as it was beating tonight. He had already recited his Taoist scriptures three times, but his emotions were still churning like the waves, unable to calm down.

It was a tough choice to make. It was going to be a long night. Both of them could not sleep that night.

The moon outside the window rose up and went back down.

The sun rose as per usual and signaled the start of a new day.

Whew! Tong Wei breathed a sigh of relief as she looked out the window. There was a bit of happiness in her eyes, as well as some disappointment.

Whew! Wang Yao also let loose a breath of air. Then, he got up and started moving his body.

Creak. Tong Wei’s room door opened, and she walked out.

“Morning.”

“Morning.”

“How was your sleep?”

“It was alright,” Wang Yao replied. He looked fine and full of energy as usual.

“Was it so hard to open the door?” Tong Wei asked, laughing.

Wang Yao laughed embarrassedly.

“I’ll make breakfast.”

“I’ll help.”

Ding, ding. A bell sounded. They had made a simple but nutritious breakfast. The two of them sat facing each other, talking and eating. They discussed the day’s activities. They gave off a vibe of a couple going through a regular day, simple and warm.

After breakfast, they went out for a tour around the island.

The island had many fun places to visit. The previous time, Tong Wei had brought Wang Yao to the famous places. This time, they decided to go to the less crowded areas that were suitable for young people.

The day passed quickly, and the sun was soon setting.

“I need to go soon.”

“Stay another night?” Tong Wei offered. She showed signs of unwillingness.

“I can’t. I’ve made an appointment with someone, and I need to go to Haiqu City tomorrow,” Wang Yao replied.

Tong Wei then bought a few gifts for Wang Yao and his family.

“Goodbye,” Wang Yao waved to Tong Wei, who was standing by the roadside.

“Be safe.”

She stood by the roadside until she could no longer see Wang Yao’s car. As she walked up to her house alone, she suddenly felt that the house was a lot more empty. She sat on the sofa, looking out the window.

Am I not attractive enough?

Meanwhile, Wang Yao was driving his car along the highway. That was close! He thought, thinking about the night’s events.

If it were him from the past, he was ninety percent sure he would not have been able to resist the temptation. However, over the past half year of work and training, he had matured, and his control over his emotions had improved. His resistance to temptation naturally had increased as well.

Through his recent interactions with Tong Wei, he felt that their relationship had improved. Nonetheless, there was still a barrier between them, a piece of cloth or curtain. They had yet to let go of all their reservations.

Ring ring! A phone call came in.

“Mr. Tian?”

“Where are you?” Tia Yuantu asked.

“I’m on the road coming back from the island.”

“You sent your girlfriend off?”

“Yep,” Wang Yao replied.

“Are you free tomorrow?”

“Yes, tell Yang Ming we’ll meet tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Regarding this matter, he had already put it off once.

By the time he reached home, it was already 8 pm. Before he stopped the car, he received a call from Tong Wei asking if he had reached home. The two of them talked for a while before hanging up.

“Why are you back so fast?!” Seeing her own son return, Zhang Xiuying seemed to be a little unhappy. “You should have spent more time with Tong Wei.”

“Mom, Tong Wei has to work tomorrow, and I’ve got things to do too.”

“Okay okay, have you eaten?”

“Yeah, I ate at the service area.”

After spending some time at home, he left for Nanshan Hill.

Nanshan Hill was quiet as always.

Wang Yao sat on a folding stool outside his cottage, gazing at the sky. His dog lay quietly beside him.

A gentle breeze blew. As he gazed at the sky, he was having wild thoughts.

“Let’s stop thinking and go to sleep. Good night San Xian.”

Wang Yao entered the cottage and turned in for the night. The dog also went to rest in its dog house.

The next day, the sky was clear, and there were few clouds in the sky.

Wang Yao got up early. He started exercising on the hill as well as tending to his herb fields. After eating a simple breakfast, he started a fire and prepared to brew the decoction.

Extreme Yin diseases would require extreme Yang medicine.

The medicinal herbs were added in one by one, and a unique medicinal fragrance wafted out. The last item was an herb called Dangyang flower. Its flower looked like burning flames, and the medicinal properties contained the essence of Yang energy.

When the Dangyang flower was added, it dissolved into the mixture, immediately turning the soup a fiery red. It appeared like a sea of flames and was even emanating heat.

Secretary Yang’s mother was afflicted with a disease caused by extreme Yin energy and was very difficult to treat. It had been a while since Wang Yao’s last treatment. The previous time, Wang Yao had prescribed some medicine that had a good effect on her. Her illness was similar to Wei Hai’s in that it needed a long period of treatment before there was a significant improvement.

At around 9:30 am, he had finished brewing his medicine. Tian Yuantu had also arrived at the hill.

“What about the medicine?”

“I’ve just finished preparing it. Sit over there and wait for a while.”

Wang Yao packed the decoction and offered Tian Yuantu a cup of tea.

“Have you been busy recently?” Tian Yuantu asked, smiling.

“Yeah, relatively,” Wang Yao replied. He first went to Beijing, then his second aunt and Tong Wei had come over. He was constantly traveling around and essentially did not have much leisure time. Now, he had just driven Tong Wei to the island and was about to go with Tian Yuantu to Haiqu City. In a few days, he would again go to Beijing.

Zhou Wukang, Wei Hai, Secretary Yang’s mother, Zhou Wuyi, Su Xiaoxue—all these patients needed treatment. All this time, Wang Yao had just gone along with the flow without any planning.

“Shall we go?”

“Okay.”

Wang Yao didn’t drive his own car. Instead he rode in Tian Yuantu’s car to Haiqu City.

When he met Secretary Yang again, he noticed that Secretary Yang had gotten thinner. Secretary Yang was, after all, the head of an entire city, and he had to worry about a lot of things.

“Hello, Dr. Wang.”

“Hello, Secretary Yang.”

Secretary Yang’s mother was looking significantly better, and her complexion had regained some of its color. Her eyes were also brighter.

“Dr. Wang, Yuantu, come, sit!” She warmly called the two of them over to sit. A nursemaid quickly served them tea.

“You’re looking much better than before,” Tian Yuantu remarked.

“Yes, ever since I took the decoctions prescribed by Dr. Wang, I’ve been feeling much better. My body doesn’t feel as cold anymore,” Secretary Yang’s mother replied.

“Yes, you do look better. Let me check.”

“Okay.”

Her pulse had gotten stronger, and it wasn’t as faint as it was before. She had taken multiple doses of Regather Soup and Sanyang powder.

“Okay, the chill in your body has improved a lot.”

“I’ve brought a few more batches of medicine for you. You can continue following the previous instructions on using them,” Wang Yao said. He took out the Sanyang powder he had prepared this morning and placed them on the table.

“Sure, thank you, Dr. Wang.”

Secretary Yang invited them to eat lunch at his place. Because he still had work to do in the afternoon, he did not drink. Nonetheless, his spirits were high. These few years, his mother’s condition had always been weighing on his heart. Now that there were signs of improvement, how could he not rejoice?

If possible, he would spare no effort to repay this Dr. Wang. However, he heard from Tian Yuantu that this young man had an eccentric personality—simple, possessing no desires.

In Tian Yuantu’s words, he was just like a mountain hermit.
