The fragrance of medicine fills the countryside in 1990

Chapter 137: A gift from afar shows deep friendship, Su Chenjin teases Xiao Tianyi

In the afternoon, the alleys of Jiangcheng are gently embraced by the sun. The lazy light and shadow pave the stone road into a golden ribbon, exuding warm temperature.

Su Chenjin sat quietly in this tranquil picture, holding a cup of freshly brewed green tea in his hand. The faint tea fragrance danced in the air, interweaving with the surrounding tranquility into a harmonious melody.

At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang, and the crisp ringtone broke the silence.

She was slightly startled, then put down the teacup and picked up the phone.

The caller shown on the screen was Gu Xinliang, the man who always brought her surprises and warmth.

"Hello, Director Gu." There was a hint of laziness and smile in Su Chenjin's voice.

Gu Xinliang's familiar voice came from the other end of the microphone. The voice was like a spring breeze, with a bit of surprise and kindness: "Good afternoon, Xiaojin! There will be a special package delivered to you today!"

A hint of curiosity flashed across Su Chenjin's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Is it the gift you mentioned last time? I've been looking forward to it."

Gu Xinliang's voice was full of tenderness: "Yes, it's the gift I prepared for you. I heard that your mother and the lovely little Tianyi are still in Jiangcheng, so I specially prepared some new clothes for them. I hope they will like them."

Su Chenjin felt a warm current in her heart, and she said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Director Gu. You are always so thoughtful and considerate. In fact, I have also prepared a small gift for you and have already sent it."

Gu Xinliang on the other end of the phone was obviously a little surprised, and his voice unconsciously rose a few notes: "Oh? What's the gift? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Su Chenjin smiled lightly, with a hint of mischief in his voice: "It's a heat preservation lunch box. Director Gu, you are usually so busy with your medical visits that you don't have a fixed meal time. With this, you can eat hot meals at any time. I hope you like it."

Su Chenjin sat alone in a corner of the room, holding the phone in his hand, his eyes flashing with anticipation and warmth.

Suddenly, a familiar and energetic voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Su Jin. He seemed to rush from afar and instantly snatched the microphone from Gu Xinliang's hand. His voice was full of teasing: "Xiao Jin, you are giving a gift to Director Gu, how can you forget your brother?"

Su Chenjin was startled by the sudden voice, the microphone in her hand almost slipped, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, like peach blossoms in spring.

She smiled gently and replied a little embarrassedly: "Brother, how dare I forget you?"

Su Jin couldn't help but laugh smugly, "I don't think you dare! Tell your brother quickly, how is everything going at home recently?"

At this time, Chen Hong heard her son's voice on the other end of the phone. She took the call gently: "Su Jin, I finally heard your voice. I heard that you have lost a lot of weight recently, but your family is doing well, so don't worry."

Su Jin was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and her voice revealed some concern: "Mom, I heard that Tianyi was taken to Jiangcheng?"

Chen Hong nodded gently and replied, "Yes, Tianyi has changed a lot recently. He has become much more cheerful and can sleep well at night. You can rest assured that Dean Chen Fangyu will take care of him."

Hearing this, Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief and unloaded the burden in his heart: "That's good, then I feel relieved."

Seeing that the two had almost finished chatting, Su Chenjin took back the phone and said to Su Jin, “Brother, I actually mailed you a package as well. I’ll leave it to you to find out what’s inside!”

Su Jin laughed heartily on the other end of the phone, and it seemed that the whole sky was lit up by his laughter: "Haha, Xiao Jin, you are so naughty! Then I'll be looking forward to your surprise!"

In the afternoon, the sunlight seemed to be a little thicker, and it shone through the gaps in the curtains, sprinkling mottled light into Su Chenjin's apartment, as if covering the world with a layer of golden veil.

In this moment full of warmth and tranquility, Su Chenjin is like a careful chef, busy in the kitchen, preparing various snacks for the upcoming afternoon.

The mashed potatoes were carefully stirred in her hands, becoming soft and delicate, the golden corn cobs exuded an enticing aroma in the oven, and the salted peanuts lay quietly in the bowl, waiting to be tasted.

The whole room was filled with the aroma of food, making people salivate.

Su Chenjin sat by the window and gently picked up a spoonful of mashed potatoes. The aroma filled her nose and she seemed to be able to feel the sweetness of each potato jumping on the tip of her tongue.

Her eyes inadvertently fell on Chen Hong who was busy preparing various toys and clothes for Xiao Tianyi, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"God willing, my aunt brought you the most delicious mashed potatoes, try them."

Su Chenjin softly called out to little Tianyi who was playing.

The little guy raised his head, his clear eyes sparkling with curiosity and innocence.

He smacked his lips, enjoying the taste of his aunt's cooking; every bite was filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Su Chenjin looked at the cute little Tianyi and his heart was filled with joy.

She stroked his hair gently, her eyes gleaming with maternal love.

At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten all her worries and fatigue and just wanted to immerse herself in this simple happiness.

Gradually, as Xiao Tianyi fell into a sweet dream, Su Chenjin gently put him down, turned around, picked up the contract documents on the table, and rushed to Yao Lao's residence.

Deep in the bustling city, there is a quiet corner hidden where Yao Lao's residence is located.

This is an antique house. Time has left deep marks on its stone walls and wood carvings. Every brick and every piece of wood carries countless stories and wisdom.

The courtyard is surrounded by green bamboos, fragrant flowers and is isolated from the world, forming a world of its own.

Su Chenjin walked with light steps and came to this quiet place.

She knocked gently on the mottled wooden door. Along with the knocking sound, Yao Lao's steady and magnetic voice came from inside the door: "Come in."

The voice carried a magical power that instantly dissipated the tension and uneasiness in Su Chenjin's heart.

She slowly opened the door, and a faint herbal fragrance wafted into her nose, making her feel relaxed and happy.

When Su Chenjin stepped into the room, he saw Yao Lao sitting in front of an antique desk with a kind smile on his face and his eyes focused and serious.

He held a contract in his hand, and the densely packed clauses and numbers on the contract became clear and orderly in his eyes.

Yao Lao raised his head and saw Su Chenjin, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

He nodded slightly and motioned Su Chenjin to sit down.

Su Chenjin walked over and sat down opposite Yao Lao, her heartbeat speeding up involuntarily.

This meeting with Yao Lao was of vital importance to her.

Under the moonlight, Yao Lao's figure appeared more mysterious and profound.

Those eyes that can see through everything, sparkling with the light of wisdom, seem to be able to penetrate the fog of time and space and see the direction of the future clearly.

Yao Lao waved his hand leisurely, his voice as steady as a mountain: "Don't be impatient, Su Chenjin, this matter can be properly resolved." When Su Chenjin heard Yao Lao's words, his worries were slightly reduced.

She stepped forward with a concerned look on her face: "What's the situation with Xing Miao now? Is he still trapped in the turbulent world of martial arts and unable to extricate himself?"

Yao Lao smiled slightly, and there was a hint of vicissitudes and indifference in that smile.

He shook his head gently, his voice full of respect for the rules of the underworld: "In the business world, the most important thing is trust. Xing Miao has withdrawn from this turbulent underworld to find his own peace. He knows that although the underworld is vast, people's hearts are unpredictable. Only by staying away from right and wrong can one seek peace in life."

Upon hearing this, Su Chenjin nodded slightly, and his concern for Xing Miao was slightly relieved.

She turned and walked to the coffee table beside her, and skillfully brewed a pot of Zen tea for Yao Lao.

The tea leaves expand in the water, emitting a faint fragrance that can cleanse the dust in people's hearts.

Su Chenjin's movements were gentle and smooth, and every detail was handled just right.

Seeing this, Yao Lao couldn't help but nod his head in approval: "Not bad, your tea art has already had some of my style."

He paused, and then continued, "This morning, Tang Bin called and said they have found the legendary master. At the moment, the two are competing against each other. This competition will surely shock the entire martial arts world."

Su Chenjin frowned slightly, and asked worriedly, "Then, is the current situation clear? Can Mr. Tang Bin handle it?"

Yao Lao took a sip of tea, his eyes showing determination: "This man came for Tang Bin. The contest between them is a destined battle. If the winner is not determined, I am afraid it will be difficult to give up. However, Tang Bin is a disciple I trained personally. His strength and wisdom are enough to cope with this challenge. We just need to wait for news from him."

On the other side, in the vast heartland of the United States, like a beating heart, a Chinatown full of traces of time lies quietly.

The stone pavement here has weathered the frost but remains solid; the antique lanterns sway in the wind, emitting a faint light, illuminating the face of every passerby.

On the corner of the street, there is an inconspicuous teahouse, like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, standing there quietly, like a watcher of time, silently guarding the prosperity and vicissitudes of the past.

Outside the teahouse, the fragrance of tea and the daily life of the people are interwoven into a vivid picture.

The tea set rotates gently in the hands of the tea artist. The fragrance of tea fills the air and attracts passers-by to stop.

It is a bustling and lively place here, where ordinary people chat and talk, with laughter and joy heard one after another.

However, when you gently push open the wooden door in the inner room of the teahouse, it is as if you have traveled through a tunnel of time and space and entered a world isolated from the outside world.

The atmosphere here is completely different from that outside, dark and mysterious.

The soft light from the wall lamps adds a hazy beauty to the entire secret room.

In the dim light, an ancient chessboard shines brightly, and the black and white chess pieces jump on the board like stars in the night sky, flashing the light of wisdom.

In the center of this secret room, Tang Bin and doc.ken were playing chess on the chessboard.

Tang Bin's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring closely at every subtle change on the chessboard.

His fingers gently stroked the chess piece, and every touch seemed to be exploring the soul of the chess piece.

Tang Bin's fingers gently picked up a black piece. The chess piece seemed to have life in his hand, flashing with mysterious light.

He closed his eyes slightly, as if he was having a spiritual conversation with the chess piece.

When he opened his eyes again, there was an indescribable determination in his eyes, as if he had seen through all the changes on the chessboard.

At this moment, Tang Bin transformed into a calm chess player, and every move he made seemed so calm and elegant.

The air around them froze at this moment, leaving only the sound of his heartbeat and slight breathing, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity to this tense game.

Doc.Ken ​​sat opposite him, his eyes were equally sharp, on par with Tang Bin's.

He quietly observed Tang Bin's every move, as if looking for his opponent's flaws.

doc.ken's fingers also gently stroked the chess pieces, exploring the mystery of the chess pieces with every touch.

Tang Bin took a deep breath, then suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with sharp light, like two swords drawn from their sheaths.

Then he let out a roar like a lion. The sound was like the ringing of a bell in a thousand-year-old temple, deep and distant, shaking everyone's heart.

"After I leave, your days of sitting behind the scenes will become a thing of the past!"

Tang Bin's voice was like a spring thunder, echoing in the silent chess room, and even the air seemed to tremble.

With this loud shout, Tang Bin swung his arm suddenly, and the black piece was like a meteor given life, cutting through the dark night sky, and with a sound of breaking through the air, it landed steadily on the chessboard.

At that moment, it seemed as if the entire universe was trembling, and the situation on the chessboard changed drastically in an instant.

The chess game, which had seemed calm, was now like being hit by a heavy bomb, causing a thousand waves.

On the chessboard, the black pieces were like a black storm, sweeping across every corner and completely breaking the original balance.

Although the white pieces still put up a tenacious resistance, they were already powerless under the fierce attack of the black pieces.

Inside the chess room, everyone held their breath and stared at the chessboard, afraid of missing any details.

A satisfied smile appeared on Tang Bin's face. He knew that he had finally found his opponent's weakness. This long game was finally about to see the dawn of victory.

doc.ken, the opponent who had sat on the Diaoyutai countless times and remained calm even when faced with a huge collapse, could not help but show a rare look of surprise at this moment.

His eyes, which were originally as deep as the sea, froze slightly at the moment the chess game changed, as if struck by lightning. After a brief moment of daze, the corners of his mouth outlined a wanton arc and he laughed out loud.

In that laughter, there was both sincere admiration for Tang Bin's superb chess skills, like the sound of clear spring water hitting rocks, crisp and pleasant; there was also endless excitement and anticipation for the fierce confrontation in the future, like the eve of a volcanic eruption, hot and wild.

This game of chess is no longer a simple battle between black and white pieces, but a contest of honor, dignity, and even the depths of the soul.

At the same time, Chunri Miaoyu also frowned and stared at the chess game full of mysteries.

Her eyes darted across the chessboard like meteors, trying to find a glimmer of hope, a chance to break the deadlock in the intricate situation.

However, this game of chess has been played for a full 18 hours, with both sides going back and forth and neither giving in, just like two martial arts masters fighting on the edge of a cliff, with every move full of deadly danger.

In the chess room, the air seemed to freeze, with only the clear and loud sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard, echoing in everyone's heart. Every fall of a chess piece was full of unknowns and variables.
