Master Jue said earnestly, "Your junior sister has already noticed the problem with her body, and I'm worried that she won't be able to accept it."

Xie Jin pursed his lips and remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "Master, my junior sister may not be as fragile as you think. Since we can't hide it forever, we might as well tell her sooner rather than later."

"How do you expect me to bring this up?" Master Jue said irritably. "I'll leave this to you. Try to be tactful and don't scare her into tears."

Xie Jin's lips twitched.

He glanced in Su Yan's direction and replied, "Alright, I'll say it. Should we inform Political Commissar Su and Regiment Commander Jiang?"

"I'll talk to them about this myself. You take good care of your junior sister." Old Master Jue was extremely helpless.

He finally met such a talented disciple at his age, but before he could even begin teaching her, her health deteriorated to this extent.

Of course, it's impossible for him to give up Su Yan.

So what if he's not in good health? He refuses to believe he can't recover.

"Master, does Ayan always do this when she has her period?" Xie Jin asked.

If it always happens like this, it's too much of a torment.

After a moment of silence, Master Jue slowly said, "Take it with Chinese medicine. Have your assistant deliver it to her at school every day. I'll tell you the prescription later."

As for whether this will happen every month, he couldn't be sure since Su Yan wasn't around.

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Jin took Su Yan's pulse again.

He switched numbers between his two hands for several minutes.

Bai Meng couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Senior Brother, when will Su Yan wake up? Is her condition serious?"

Xie Jin withdrew his hand, glanced at her, and replied, "She's much better now. After the acupuncture is finished, could you please change her clothes?"

"Okay." Bai Meng nodded.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Bai Meng".

Xie Jin thought for two seconds and said, "I'll have my assistant give you a red envelope later. Please take care of my junior sister."

He doesn't know what kind of thank-you gift to give, so a red envelope would be more direct.

Bai Meng was stunned when she heard this.

Realizing what she had done, she blushed and retorted, "I came to take care of Su Yan, not for the money."

Xie Jin was also taken aback for a moment, and then realized that she had misunderstood. He explained, "No, what I meant was that I didn't know how to thank you. As Ayan's senior brother, I am practically an elder. You have taken such good care of her, so I should give you a red envelope. It's not what you think."

Bai Meng: "..."

Her face turned even redder, and she stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

Just then, the assistant, who had finished washing his tools in the bathroom, reminded him, "Dr. Xie, it's time."

Xie Jin responded and then bent down to start acupuncture on Su Yan.

The needle insertion was quick, and it was done in less than ten minutes.

The sweat that Su Yan produced was cold.

Xie Jin and his assistant left the ward and asked Bai Meng to help Su Yan change into the new clothes that had just been delivered.

Xie Jin walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and smoked it in silence.

"Xie Jin? What are you doing here?"

A clear, cold voice drifted closer from afar.

Xie Jin squinted and looked over.

He Xiuyun walked towards this place from the stairwell, followed by Wu Feifan.

This is a private room, so there aren't many people here.

He paused for a few seconds before saying, "Didn't I tell you to rest? What are you doing out here?"

He Xiuyun said calmly, "After using the same packet of Chinese medicine from last time, the wound doesn't hurt much anymore."

He was referring to the cigarettes Su Yan had prepared in Anping Town, and there were still a few packs left.

Last night, he had a sudden inspiration and used it on his wound. Unexpectedly, even after so much time, the medicine pack was still very effective.

Xie Jin raised an eyebrow and pointed to the closed ward door. "My junior sister wasn't feeling well and fainted. We just finished acupuncture on her, and her roommate is changing her clothes inside now."

"She fainted?" He Xiuyun glanced at the ward door, inexplicably wanting to see Xie Jin, her legendary junior sister. "Is she alright?"

He had barely finished speaking when the ward door opened.

Bai Meng glanced at the two people who had suddenly appeared, then said to Xie Jin, "It's all changed."

"Thank you." Xie Jin stubbed out his cigarette and threw it in the trash can, then gave He Xiujun a look. "Want to go in and take a look?"

Just as He Xiuyun was about to speak, Wu Feifan behind him reminded him, "Master, the agreed time is almost here."

Upon hearing this, He Xiuyun had no choice but to give up and explained, "I have an appointment with someone. He's waiting upstairs. I'll see your junior sister another time."

"Okay, go ahead."

As He Xiuyun turned to leave, he glanced at the ward again and saw the chin of the person lying on the bed, which gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

He paused for a moment, but ultimately continued walking away.

...

As evening approached, Su Yan finally woke up, and her face regained some color.

She opened her eyes and looked around at her surroundings.

Finally, her gaze fell on the three people eating at the table.

"Senior brother, Bai Meng," she said softly.

The three of them immediately stopped what they were doing and looked over.

Seeing that she was awake, Xie Jin immediately came over and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Su Yan shook her head. "Much better. How long did I sleep?"

“From noon until now, 7:30.” Xie Jin said as he took her pulse. “Master said that you have a lot of cold in your body. In the future, acupuncture will be combined with Chinese medicine. I will have Wen Liangce brew the medicine every day. You can drink it after you have acupuncture when you go back to your apartment.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yan suddenly thought of something and looked at him with a serious expression. "Senior brother, tell me the truth, what is the condition of my body? If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. I'll just have to ask someone to find a skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor to examine my body."

After this experience, she developed a strong sixth sense.

Her senior brother and master must be hiding something from her.

She didn't want to be kept in the dark and act like a fool.

Xie Jin clicked his tongue lightly and tapped her forehead. "Why are you so stubborn?"

She grabbed his arm, looked up at him, and said earnestly, "Senior brother, I'm not that fragile, really! No matter how bad things get, it's better than losing my life."

Xie Jin hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately chose to compromise.

"Actually, it's not a big problem. Master said that the juice of the Lola fruit is extremely cold in nature, which doesn't affect men much, but it's very harmful to women's bodies. Master said..."

He glanced at Su Yan's face and hesitated before saying, "You probably won't be able to be a mother, but he will try his best to develop a formula that can neutralize this coldness, so this problem is not absolute. You don't need to be so sad."

The ward was quiet, and Xie Jin's voice reached the ears of everyone present.

Bai Meng never expected Su Yan to be so young...

Su Yan tightened her grip on Xie Jin's arm, but her expression remained unchanged.

Xie Jin looked at her with some concern.

Few people could accept the outcome of being unable to have children, right?

After a long pause, she asked in a relatively calm tone, "Does Jiang Jingxing know?"
