With matters at the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine drawing to a close, Yang Xiao politely declined Zuo Dan's entreaty and did not attend the celebratory banquet hosted by the Association. He returned to the medical hall with Su Qian'er.
All along the way, Su Qian'er's gaze was constantly sizing up Yang Xiao, as if she had just met him.
The powerful display of traditional Chinese medicine by Yang Xiao had, once again, overturned Su Qian'er's understanding of him, piquing her curiosity even further.
In Su Qian'er's eyes, Yang Xiao's mysteriousness seemed to deepen, and she felt he was becoming more and more of a stranger to her.
This annoyed her greatly and elicited a strong sense of frustration, as if some things were slipping beyond her control.
After all, every time she thought she had come to know enough about Yang Xiao, he would turn her perceptions upside down, which, quite frankly, was rather annoying.
