Xie Jin thought for a moment, "Besides you, your mother, and your maternal grandparents, everyone else knows about this. Commander Jiang said he doesn't care about these things, including General Jiang. He knows about this but still agrees to you two being together. Junior sister, don't overthink it. Master and I will also develop a medicine to neutralize the cold nature of the 'Lola Fruit' as soon as possible."

Su Yan frowned.

Actually, she could accept the outcome.

I just didn't expect Jiang Jingxing and Grandpa Jiang to accept it.

After all, she knew that Jiang Jingxing was the only son in the Jiang family.

If they really do get married in the future, then the Jiang family...

Reason told her not to implicate the Jiang family, while impulse told her not to care about these things. She came from the 21st century and shouldn't be bound by such constraints, but she couldn't be that selfish.

"Senior brother, do you think Jiang Jingxing really doesn't care?" she murmured.

Xie Jin paused for a moment, then immediately understood what she was worried about. He said, "The fact that he can be on friendly terms with your brother proves that he is a decent person. If he dares to lie to you, none of us will let him off the hook. However, given Commander Jiang's character, if he dares to make a promise, he must be sincere."

Su Yan looked up, her eyes somewhat confused. "Then do you think I should be with him?"

Xie Jin smiled upon hearing this, patted her head, and said, "Junior sister, Commander Jiang really likes you. If you break up with him, he won't agree. Instead of being confused here, why not call him and talk it out? Once you've cleared things up, everything will be fine."

She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and replied, "Okay."

"You stay at the hospital for observation tonight, and go back to class tomorrow," Xie Jin instructed. "Get a good night's sleep; I don't want to see you looking depressed."

He didn't know if Su Yan had truly come to terms with things or what, but she was definitely not in a good mood.

"No need, senior brother. I feel fine now. I have to go back to school tomorrow, and I can't miss any more classes. Please take me back," she said.

Xie Jin did not force her.

After tidying up the things in the ward, I drove her and Bai Meng back to school.

...

Half an hour later.

Downstairs in the dormitory building of the medical university.

Before Su Yan and Bai Meng got out of the car, Xie Jin said, "Contact me if anything happens. It doesn't matter if I'm seeing patients in person. Those who can see patients in person won't die. You are much more important than them."

After saying that, he looked at Bai Meng beside him, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to her, "Please take good care of my junior sister. This is my business card. If my junior sister needs anything, just call me."

Bai Meng took the business card. "I understand."

Su Yan waved her hand, "Senior brother, you should go back now. Be careful."

Xie Jin responded and then started the car and left the campus.

Bai Meng said, "Your senior brother is really considerate to you."

She could tell at a glance that Xie Jin wasn't the gentle type of man, but when he was with Su Yan, he was not only gentle but also incredibly attentive, as if he reserved all his patience for his junior sister.

Su Yan smiled and said, "My three senior brothers are all very nice. Maybe it's because they only have me as their junior sister?"

Bai Meng shrugged, then suddenly remembered something. She grabbed Su Yan's arm and asked, "You have a boyfriend?"

Su Yan nodded. "My boyfriend is my brother's comrade-in-arms."

"Is that Commander Jiang... Commander Jiang?"

"Yes."

"My God." Bai Meng looked at her incredulously, "A regimental-level cadre? How much older is he than you? You didn't find an old man, did you? And a divorced man with a child at that!"

Su Yan said with a wry smile, "No, he's only twenty-seven or twenty-eight. What are you thinking? If he were that good, my brother would probably have broken us up long ago. Alright, let's go upstairs, it's getting late."

A regimental-level cadre in his late twenties?

Bai Meng felt like the world had become a fantasy, and followed Su Yan in a daze.

Back in the dormitory.

Neither Chen Ting nor Deng Ziyi rested.

The two of them were incredibly surprised to see them return.

"Ayan, why are you back so soon? What did the doctor say?" Deng Ziyi asked hurriedly.

"It's nothing, just excessive cold in my body causing menstrual cramps and fainting." Su Yan returned to her seat, took a sip of water, and continued, "It's nothing serious, you don't need to worry. Did I scare you today?"

Deng Ziyi shook his head, staring blankly at her.

Su Yan's face was still very pale, but overall she was much better than when she fainted.

Chen Ting was a little worried, "Are you really alright?"

The main problem was the way Su Yan looked that afternoon; it felt like she was about to disappear at any moment.

"I'm really fine!" Su Yan said seriously, "I just don't have much strength."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be putting on a brave face, Deng Ziyi said, "You have no idea how much of a commotion it caused when your senior brother carried you out this morning. People from your class even saw it. When I finished class this afternoon, they all came to ask me about it."

The main problem is that Xie Jin, a grown man, barged into the girls' dormitory without registering and left carrying a female classmate who had fainted. Wasn't that terrifying?

"It was only after Director Zhong appeared that those messy rumors were quelled. But Ah Yan, you're quite famous in our department now. You'll probably be stared at like a monkey in class tomorrow," Chen Ting said.

Su Yan sighed and said helplessly, "Stop talking, I can already imagine what tomorrow will be like."

The next day, I still had three classes at 8 am.

As expected, as soon as Su Yan stepped into the teaching building, many people's eyes fell on her.

After all, the surrounding area is full of medical students' classrooms.

Chen Ting and Deng Ziyi silently covered their faces with their books.

It's not that they feel ashamed, it's that being stared at by too many people—what's the difference between that and being stripped naked and standing in the street?! It's too outrageous!

"You guys go find your classrooms, you don't need to follow me," Su Yan said.

Deng Ziyi covered her face and whispered, "Are you sure you don't need us to go to the classroom with you? What if you get attacked by those gossipy old women?"

She said helplessly, "No, we're all adults, we won't go too far."

"Alright then, come find us in our classroom if you need anything."

Su Yan waved to them and then went to the classroom.

This week's classes were all on Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the classroom was the same one as always.

Su Yan arrived late today; most of the students had already arrived in the classroom.

The moment she walked into the classroom, all eyes turned to her.

She remained completely unaffected and calmly walked to the first seat in the first row and sat down.

Why isn't the new student reacting at all?

"She's just aloof. Wasn't she the one who was carried out of the girls' dormitory yesterday?"

"How could that be? Ji Qianqian and I saw it clearly, it was the new classmate!"

"Hey, why don't you just have the class monitor ask around?"

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly urged Ling Zhi, whose face was flushed.

Ling Zhi sat in the middle, and finally mustered up the courage to get up and walk towards Su Yan.

"Su Yan, I heard you fainted yesterday. Are you alright?"
