This parting may be the last time we meet.

The ending wasn't happy; perhaps some things really can't be forced.

Who can live a life without some regrets?

Having treated so many patients, she should know these things best and should have seen through them long ago.

But unfortunately...

She let out a deep breath, stopped staring in the direction the person had left, and turned to walk home.

What is parting? It's probably like you heading towards the Xiang River while I head towards Qin.

What is regret? Perhaps it is that no matter how skilled the painter is, a piece of sorrow cannot be painted.

Some emotions can only be truly understood when you are deeply immersed in them.

Whether it's sadness or regret, you have to experience it for yourself.

Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu accompanied Ruan Banxia home: "Life has many paths, and the earth is round. Who knows, we might meet again as we walk along."

"Before that, you must eat and sleep well and take good care of yourself."

Ruan Banxia lowered her head and forced a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Chu Ying, I would like to spend two days alone. You should go back to your room with Brother Cheng for the next two days."

Leaving her alone in this place of sorrow? That's absolutely unacceptable. Although I know she needs to be alone, if something happens to her here by herself, it will be too late to regret it!

Not to mention, she had promised Shen Ziyu to take good care of Ruan Banxia.

Shen Ziyu, she didn't say she would never come back, did she?

And does Ruan Banxia not plan to go to Kyoto to find her anymore? Is she willing to accept that? She probably isn't.

These questions cannot be asked now; we cannot stab Ruan Banxia in the heart again.

Shen Ziyu's departure seemed to have taken away half of Ruan Banxia's soul.

In the end, Ye Lingyu was worried about leaving Ruan Banxia alone there, so she took her home.

For several days in a row, Ruan Banxia acted as if nothing had happened.

I get up early in the morning and go to bed early at night, but my mental state is getting worse and worse.

I can't concentrate on anything, and I'm in a daze all day long!

She would also go fishing with Jiang Jiang and Cheng Qingyan in the pond in the yard, but she wouldn't notice the fish biting the bait.

He wouldn't even cast his fishing rod once all day long, like a complete idiot.

Meng Chuying asked her a question about herbs, and she actually answered it wrong.

Terrified, Meng Chuying decided never to mention anything related to studying medicine again until she recovered.

This situation continued until Ruan Banxia failed to get up when it was time for her to do so. Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu rushed in and found that she had fainted at some point.

After giving her a preliminary diagnosis, Meng Chuying said that this was a psychological problem, and they lacked the remedy for it.

No one expected that the usually talkative Dr. Ruan would suffer such a serious injury in this relationship.

After she slowly woke up, it seemed as if she had suddenly come to a realization.

His eyes regained their light, and although his face was still pale, he had the desire to speak.

“I saw my deceased brother. He even got into a fight with someone to get me back.”

“I am truly ashamed of my brother, both in life and after death.”

"Sister-in-law, Brother Cheng, everyone, I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Sister Hongyu, is there any food? I'm hungry."

At this point, half a month had passed since Shen Ziyu left.

Ruan Banxia was no longer listless all day, but this serious illness made her look particularly weak.

She has also lost a lot of weight. Although Cheng Qingyan and the others try their best to make food for her every day, she can only eat a little bit.

When she sits leaning against the window, she really looks just like the frail and delicate Daiyu.

Fortunately, little Jiang Jiang was around, and he would occasionally come up with some new and interesting food to bother Ruan Banxia.

With Ye Lingyu and the others by their side, they got through the most difficult days.

Perhaps she has gradually come to terms with it, realizing that one cannot remain trapped in one's own sadness forever.

Heartbreak harms the body. As a doctor herself, she naturally understands that once the body and mind are fundamentally damaged, it is very difficult to recover.

Feeling the daily care from Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu is much more real than that vague and heartbreaking love.

She still remembers the dream she had, in which her brother really fought fiercely with someone for her sake.

She couldn't possibly torture herself again, making her deceased brother fight to the death for her, could she?

Just live on.

While she was alive, she was unaware that Shen Ziyu had returned, and at that time she had not yet left Yuanning County for Kyoto.

The vegetables and rice in Cheng Qingyan's fields have been harvested one after another. Although she no longer has to do everything herself, she still often runs between the fields and home.

The harvesters were also found in the village. After she hired some of the villagers, the others who were not hired treated her with great courtesy.

Unlike last year, not only the villagers, but even the dogs dislike her.

However, the dog disliked her because the original owner of the body was inhuman, which had nothing to do with her, and she didn't acknowledge it.

The villagers were especially warm to her this year.

On her way to the fields, people would greet her, ask if she wanted water, and some would even ask if she needed help in the fields.

Wow~ the power of money!

During this time, she also met Cheng Shaowen, whom she had no recollection of, who was actually her second nephew.

The young man was not very old, only seventeen or eighteen, and quite handsome.

It wasn't that she was prejudiced against him; she was just being honest, she didn't have a good impression of Cheng Yuanji and Cheng Yuanfu.

With her father like this, she inevitably views her son through a biased lens.

Cheng Shaowen seems to be a little different from his father. Perhaps because he is still a young man, he still retains some innocence.

Upon seeing her, he greeted her enthusiastically and called her "Uncle".

Cheng Qingyan felt embarrassed by his overly familiar manner. How could her nephew be so friendly? Did they already have a good relationship before?

But that shouldn't be the case; Ye Lingyu hadn't mentioned this to her.

So perhaps it's because Cheng Shaowen is a bit carefree, has a somewhat unconventional personality, and doesn't pay attention to details.

Cheng Shaowen didn't ask her for anything; he just greeted her happily and ran off.

But isn't there something wrong with the location where he appeared?

How did he suddenly appear from the bushes over by the fishpond? That's so strange.

Cheng Qingyan didn't think too much about this matter.

Until, a kind-hearted villager who wished to remain anonymous came to Cheng Qingyan in a mysterious manner, saying that he had something important to tell her.

“Cheng San, I saw Chen Yanping. He hasn’t left the village; he’s still in the village, but he’s not living in his own home.”

The fact that Chen Yanping, a person who was driven out of Mengjia Village, did not leave the village and still lives there is something to ponder.

Cheng Qingyan seemed to have the answer in his heart: whose house would he stay in, and who would dare to hide it from the villagers?

But he still asked the man, "Did you see him contact anyone?"
