"But I don't usually like sweets, so I don't know where in City A can I buy some good pastries. Before I called you, I called a few of my classmates, but they were all men, just like me."

I was completely out of ideas when I remembered you. I wanted to ask if you had any good recommendations?

"There are many snack shops in City A."

Jiang Yue asked, "Teacher Luo, do you have any special requirements for the snacks you want to buy?"

Or what type of pastry would you like, and are there any price restrictions?

"Any kind of snack is fine," Luo Xiao said with a smile. "As long as it tastes good, and the price isn't outrageously expensive, it's for my classmates, so it can't be too bad."

Jiang Yue thought for a moment and said, "In that case, there is a Juhezhai in the east of the city. I heard it is an old brand in City A. I often buy from there. They have a lot of pastries, and the prices and tastes are very reasonable."

"Teacher Luo, you can go there and take a look tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll go to Juhezhai tomorrow. Thank you so much, Yueyue," Luo Xiao said gratefully.

"Teacher Luo, you're too kind." After saying that, Jiang Yue exchanged a few more words with Luo Xiao and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yue turned and walked upstairs.

After returning to her room, Jiang Yue changed her clothes and lay on the bed. She couldn't understand how Luo Xiao, a person from City A, could not know about Juhezhai.

After Jiang Yue returned, she heard Yao Hua mention Juhezhai the next day. Juhezhai's pastries were delicious, and almost everyone in City A, whether adults or children, knew about Juhezhai.

Even if Teacher Luo didn't go back to City A often before, surely he must have heard of Juhezhai, right?

Unable to figure it out, Jiang Yue quickly stopped thinking about it.

She has to get up early tomorrow to go shopping with her mom and Aunt Liang, so she has to get up early.

Jiang Yue didn't feel comfortable sleeping without Lu Jingnian around.

She tossed and turned for a while before finally feeling a little sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a sudden pain shot through her shoulder, jolting Jiang Yue awake and instantly banishing all her drowsiness.

"Lu Jingnian is injured?"

Sitting up in bed, Jiang Yue clutched her still aching shoulder, cold sweat dripping onto the blanket.

The place where she was in pain was exactly where Lu Jingnian had injured his shoulder before.

What exactly did Lu Jingnian go to do?

Jiang Yue sat on the bed, extremely anxious, but she couldn't go to him, or even make a phone call.

When Lu Jingnian left, he said he was going to handle some work-related matters, meaning he had a mission. Even if Jiang Yue was anxious, she couldn't contact him while he was on a mission.

Fortunately, my shoulder doesn't hurt as much as it did before.

Lu Jingnian should be alright now.

Jiang Yue felt somewhat fortunate at that moment. The old Taoist priest had told her that if Lu Jingnian was injured, she could take away half of his pain.

If she felt this much pain even on half of it, Jiang Yue couldn't imagine how much pain Lu Jingnian would be in if all of that pain were on him.

Two hours later.

At the hospital.

Looking at the knife wound on Lu Jingnian's shoulder, the doctor felt both heartache and helplessness. "How could you be so careless as to injure someone here?"

You were recently shot in this spot. Luckily, it's healing well; otherwise, with the new wound on top of the old one, your arm would be useless.

The doctor who bandaged Lu Jingnian's wounds was the same doctor who took care of him when he was hospitalized.

"Is this injury very serious?"

Because of the bandaging, the doctor had Lu Jingnian tilt his head to the side, from which he couldn't see how serious the wound on his shoulder was.

"It's very serious. If the wound were any deeper, you could see the bone."

The doctor said to him in an annoyed tone.

This person is too reckless. He had only recovered for a short time, and he injured himself like this again.

"I didn't feel much pain this time, so I thought the injury wasn't serious."

Lu Jingnian explained that he didn't really feel much pain after this injury.

After hearing his words, the doctor's bandaged hand stiffened slightly. He looked at Lu Jingnian seriously and asked, "You mean, the pain you felt this time was less than before?"

"It seems so."

Lu Jingnian nodded.

"How is that possible?" the doctor frowned. "Have you been injured too many times, increasing your pain tolerance?"

But this will only make people endure increasingly intense pain; it will not alleviate the pain at all.

Are you sure you can clearly feel that your pain has lessened?

Approximately how much has it lessened?

The doctor looked at Lu Jingnian intently.

"Let me see the wound so I can know."

Lu Jingnian answered.

After listening, the doctor quickly unwrapped the bandage and even borrowed a small mirror from the nurse so that Lu Jingnian could see clearly.

Lu Jingnian looked at the finger-length wound on his shoulder and asked the doctor, "How deep is this wound?"

"We can almost see the bone," the doctor replied.

There's not much flesh on the shoulder to begin with, so if this cut had been on the leg, it probably wouldn't have been this serious.

But on the shoulders, you can see the bones.

Lu Jingnian thought about the pain he felt at the time and said, "It should have lessened by half."

"How is this possible?"

The doctor's eyes widened. "Lu Jingnian, you need to have another checkup."

There are many situations where pain can suddenly lessen, such as intracranial space-occupying lesions.

Intracranial hematoma, brain abscess, or intracranial tumor, when the mass continues to grow and compresses brain tissue, can affect a person's sensory functions, leading to a decline in perception.

"The pain seems to be lessening. Is the problem serious?"

Looking at Dr. Liu's very serious face, Lu Jingnian frowned and asked.
