Chapter 22

The tiles of the ancient temple were moistened by rain, looking simple and heavy. Raindrops slid down the eaves, dripping and hitting the bluestone road.

"Third Master, during the family turmoil, you orchestrated a plan to protect Miss Liuli and personally gave her to Yu Jinnian. Now that the turmoil has subsided and the world is at peace, why not bring Miss Liuli back?"

Lee was sent out on a mission today, originally to quell a scandal, but he unexpectedly came back furious. That's when he couldn't help but dare to ask.

"Yesterday it was a sunny day, but today it's like a cat's piss. The weather in Kyoto...can change at the drop of a hat." Jiang Hansheng stood under the eaves, looking mature and majestic in his black outfit.

That day, Jiang Hansheng used the unpredictable weather to metaphorically describe the current situation.

Lee felt that their Third Master was being too cautious, but he didn't dare to say too much, otherwise he would be asking for trouble.

Si family villa.

"No way! Dai Ke has a broken leg, and there's no news today. Wanbao, this is too abnormal."

Wu Nan lay on Si Wan's bed, holding an apple in his hand, which he couldn't stop even if he stuffed his mouth full.

"Who knows? I'm wondering too." Si Wan had just finished her shower and was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, frowning as she applied ointment to her body. "My skin is so delicate, it's so fragile. It gets allergic after just one bath in the sea. It's really troublesome."

"Let me help you."

Wu Nan got out of bed, took the anti-itch cream from Si Wan's hand, and applied it to her back. "Tsk tsk... your skin is so tender you can even pinch it to make water come out. I wonder which bastard will get the chance in the future."

Si Wan looked in the mirror: "What about that bastard Yu Jinnian?"

Wu Nan's hand trembled, and the entire tube of ointment went all over Si Wan's back.

Her eyes widened in shock: "Are you interested in Yu Jinnian again?"

"Could it be that he's attracted to me?" Si Wan took out a tissue from the tissue box and handed it to Wu Nan: "Can you change your habit of getting so jumpy? Help me clean it up quickly, or Ms. Gu will be worried."

"Oh, yes, yes." Wu Nan almost forgot why she came here.

An hour later, Si Wan dressed up and went downstairs.

Gu Yiru had been looking forward to it for a long time. When she saw her precious baby, she immediately became like a peacock with its tail spread out: "Baby~ She is so beautiful, she is worthy of being my daughter."

Si Wan twitched her lips speechlessly, and thought of Gu Meiyan unconsciously.

Are all people with the surname Gu like this?

"Mom, we agreed that today is our last blind date. Okay?"

Gu Yiru corrected: "It's the last time this month."

Si Wan laughed: "Do you really want to marry me off so badly?"

"Girls can't stay home when they grow up, and Mom can't bear to leave you. But this time, the doctor is Wu Nan's classmate. Although his family is not as well off as ours, he agreed to marry into the family. This is very sensible. This way, you don't have to leave Mom, how great."

"..." Good boy, agreeing to marry into the family is sensible. What a niche compliment.

"Wasn't Mom quite satisfied with the Gu family's youngest son before? Why do you suddenly disagree now?"

Last night, Si Wan came home at daybreak. She was so sleepy. After taking a shower, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly. In a daze, she heard Gu Yiru come in and say something.

It was not until Wu Nan came over at noon and Gu Yiru "informed" Si Wan about the blind date that she remembered: the boy from the Gu family is not good enough, I don't agree.

Gu Yiru curled her lips: "He can't do that. I heard that he's popular with both men and women. That won't work."

Hearing this, Si Wan raised her eyebrows: "Who told you this?"

Wu Nan silently moved towards the entrance...

*

Kyoto Hospital.

Si Wan had a good first impression of Lu Ran.

The man was wearing a well-fitting white coat, had a thin build and a handsome face.

He wore a pair of thin-framed glasses on his nose, and his eyes behind the lenses were clear, gentle, and very friendly.

When she smiles, the corners of her mouth slightly rise, revealing a row of neat and white teeth, like a spring breeze.

"I'm so sorry, my surgery schedule is full today, so I have no choice but to ask you to come to the hospital."

Lu Ran had just finished an operation and still found time to meet Si Wan.

The office was small, and the smell of disinfectant was strong. Si Wan stood aside, watching the surroundings, while Lu Ran was busy pouring her some water.

"Here, the temperature is just right." In the porcelain white teacup, the water was warm and steaming.

"Thank you." Si Wan smiled, took the teacup and sat down on the chair.

"Eh? You're allergic." Lu Ran noticed a lot of red rashes on Si Wan's neck and arms.

Si Wan: "Yeah, I touched something dirty."

"I happen to have a secret ointment here. I'll apply some on you. You'll be better tomorrow."

Maybe he's been a doctor for a long time, so he wants to treat any illness he sees, regardless of what Si Wan says.

Si Wan didn't refuse because it was indeed itchy.

Lu Ran pulled a chair and sat down next to Si Wan, unscrewing the lid of the ointment: "It may be a little cold, just bear with it."

Si Wan took the initiative to extend her hand: "Okay."

Lu Ran squeezed a little ointment onto his fingertips and gently applied it to the rash on Si Wan's arm. His movements were meticulous and patient. He would look up at Si Wan from time to time and ask, "Does it hurt?"

Si Wan didn't care much and shook her head: "It's nothing."

Occasionally, someone passed by in the hospital corridor. The drizzle outside the window was heavy, but not as loud as the nurse's voice.

Before long, more and more people started coming and going in front of Lu Ran's office door... and they were all wearing white coats.

"Am I here at the wrong time?" A low and cold voice suddenly sounded at the door.

Si Wan looked up and raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Why are you here?"

It turned out to be Yu Jinnian.

The man appeared at the office door with a straight posture, a white shirt tucked into black trousers, and a slender and strong figure.

Looking at Lu Ran who was applying ointment to Si Wan's hand, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then his expression returned to normal in an instant: "Why am I here, what do you think?"

Si Wan was asking knowingly. Dai Ke had broken her leg and was admitted to the ICU overnight. If Yu Jinnian hadn't appeared in the hospital for Dai Ke, who else could he have done it for?

"To have Director Yu condescend to take care of me personally is truly a true lover of mine." Anyone who heard Si Wan's words felt a little jealous.

"Do you know Mr. Yu?" Lu Ran listened to their conversation and guessed that they should know each other.

Si Wan looked away: "Not familiar."

Yu Jinnian walked in: "It sounds like you are envious? Otherwise, if you break a leg too, I can take care of you."

"Oh, in my opinion, I should break your legs so that you two can become a couple." Si Wan pulled her hand back and thanked Lu Ran: "...Thank you, I'm much better now."

"Take this ointment home. Apply it again before bed, and it will be gone by tomorrow." Lu Ran stuffed the ointment into Si Wan's hand and stood up to talk to Yu Jinnian: "Mr. Yu, are you here to inquire about Miss Dai's condition?"

It’s really strange. When Dai Ke was admitted to the hospital, he was the only contact person for Dai Ke’s emergency number. When he received the call, didn’t he say that he was on a business trip?

"Can her legs be saved?" Yu Jinnian came over and pulled the chair Lu Ran had just sat on.

Half a body length away from Si Wan.

"Miss Dai's leg was badly hit by the oar. Two-thirds of the tissue is comminuted. I tried my best."

Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Lu Ran, a talented orthopedic surgeon specially hired back from China, is helpless. Dai Ke is doomed to fail.

Yu Jinnian: "Then use the best prosthesis."
