Su Yan's emotions had stabilized a lot. She raised her small face and said somewhat awkwardly, "My body is too weak. I faint after crying for a bit."

In her past life, she couldn't even be weak if she wanted to, but she never expected to be this weak in this life.

When she has some free time, she needs to prepare some medicinal cuisine to nourish her body.

Jiang Jingxing stroked her hair that was loose over her shoulders and said, "Ayan, my leg will never get better."

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then straightened up and glared at him angrily, demanding, "Who said that? Who said it couldn't be cured? I never said such a thing!"

The man's voice remained calm, "I understand Old Man Jue. If there was still hope for my legs, or a very good chance, he wouldn't have been so silent when I woke up."

"Ayan, I'll be a useless person from now on, will you still want to stay with me?"

After he finished speaking, he looked up and met her eyes directly.

It took Su Yan a long time to understand what the man meant.

A look of astonishment crossed her eyes as she stared at him incredulously.

Gradually, these emotions turned into unbearable anger.

She jumped to her feet, her words sharp and forceful: "Jiang Jingxing, what do you mean by this? Are you giving up on yourself? Or do you think you're holding me back, so you want to push me away? What do you take me for? Do you think I, Su Yan, am something you can summon and dismiss at will?"

Her face turned bright red with anger, and the veins on her body bulged as she flew into a rage.

She had never been so angry.

Jiang Jingxing hadn't expected her to be this angry.

Remembering Si Nan's words, he tried to remain calm and said seriously, "Ayan, you're only 18 years old this year. If you don't leave me now, are you already mentally prepared to spend your whole life with a cripple?"

"I told you," Su Yan said, tears streaming down her face as she spoke. "Your leg can be healed! I'll risk my life to heal your leg, so Jiang Jingxing, can you please stop saying such discouraging things?"

I never once considered leaving you. Even for my sake, can you please pull yourself together? My master and I will definitely heal your leg. If you love me, please believe me.

After saying these words, she wept silently, her gaze fixed on him, even though her eyes ached, she couldn't bear to blink.

Because of her physical weakness and emotional fluctuations, she was a little weak and needed to hold onto the foot of the bed for support to stand up.

Upon closer inspection, she was trembling all over.

Jiang Jingxing was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe, and felt like he was going crazy.

Reason told him to control his emotions.

But the emotions he suppressed made him compromise and become a little selfish.

Ultimately, reason prevailed.

He reached out, wanting to hug her.

But the loss of feeling in his legs jolted him awake, and the heartache he felt cooled down at that moment.

He lowered his hand weakly and said, "Ayan, look, I can't even walk up to you to hug you. If one day you are in danger, I can only sit in a wheelchair and watch you get hurt, unable to do anything. This kind of thing may happen many times in the future. How do you think I would feel?"

Su Yan closed her eyes.

She knew everything about what the man was thinking; he simply didn't want to be a burden to her.

"Jiang Jingxing, I don't care about any of this, because I love you."

This was the first time she had told him so bluntly.

She loves him.

Her gaze was so intense it was almost scalding, and Jiang Jingxing's heart trembled.

He lowered his head, awkwardly avoiding her gaze.

Su Yan stepped forward, reached out and turned his face towards her, forcing him to look at her, and asked, word by word, "Jiang Jingxing, are you really going to push me away?"

"I..." Jiang Jingxing opened his mouth.

He couldn't bring himself to say anything that would hurt the girl in front of him.

Whenever he wavered, Si Nan's words would suddenly ring in his ears, as if reminding him that he was no longer worthy.

"Sorry." He forcefully brushed her hand away.

Su Yan lost her balance and stumbled two steps to the side, her waist hitting the bedside table, causing her to turn pale with pain.

Jiang Jingxing's eyes narrowed, and he forcefully suppressed his worry.

Su Yan leaned against the bedside table and gave a self-deprecating laugh, "So what are we now? Are we breaking up?"

"Yes," he replied without hesitation.

"I disagree!" She wiped away her tears and said through gritted teeth, "I'll let it go tonight because you were in a bad mood. But starting tomorrow, you're not allowed to push me away anymore, or I'll do something you'll regret a hundred times over!"

After saying that, she strode out of the ward barefoot.

With a "bang".

The door slammed shut, and the ward felt the tremor.

Jiang Jingxing clenched his fist, unable to help but think of the time she ate the laurel fruit.

He couldn't bear to see Su Yan do anything to hurt herself, so he had to think of another way.

Jiang Jingxing threw back the covers and stared quietly at his stiff legs, his thoughts gradually hardening.

...

Early the next morning.

Su Yan got up and looked in the mirror. Seeing her eyes swollen like walnuts, she gave up the idea of ​​going out.

It wasn't until 9:30 that Su Yu knocked on the door to ask her to have breakfast.

"Brother, just come in." She said, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Su Yu pushed open the door and came in, carrying a reheated breakfast.

"Even if you're in a bad mood, you shouldn't..." His voice suddenly stopped.

A few seconds later, his face darkened instantly. "You've been hiding under the covers crying all night?"

Last night, Old Jiang told Jiang Jingxing to have some peace and quiet. After they came out, they left separately, unaware that Su Yan and Jiang Jingxing had a big argument later.

Su Yan lowered her head and said, "Brother, could you get me some ice?"

Su Yu immediately noticed that her mood was off and asked, "Did Jiang Jingxing bully you? Tell me, and I'll go settle the score with him."

"No, don't think like that. Go find me some ice first."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.

"Ayan, may Master come in?"

Su Yan thought for a moment, since ice wouldn't be very effective at reducing swelling anyway, so she simply smashed the jar. "Master, please come in."

When Jue Lao opened the door and came in, he saw that Su Yu was also there, and a strange look immediately appeared on his face.

Su Yu frowned. "Why are you looking at me like that? Can't I go into my own sister's room?"

"That's not the reason."

"Why is that?"

Old Jue said in a complicated tone, "You'll find out soon enough. I hope you won't be so angry then."

Su Yu was completely confused.

He encountered soldiers delivering food on his way here and learned that Su Yan hadn't eaten breakfast. He came to find her as soon as he arrived at the hospital, but he didn't know anything else.

Old Jue's gaze shifted to Su Yan, and seeing her pathetic state, he was immediately enraged. He scolded her, "There are plenty of good men in the world, why are you shedding tears for someone like Jiang Jingxing? You're so pathetic! If you go out with that face, won't people laugh at you to death?"
