The first piece of jade was the most complete. The character "岚" was engraved on the edge of the jade. It was the first piece of jade that Shen Qianxue broke. Su Jinxia glued the broken pieces of jade back together, so there are several cracks on the jade.
The second piece of jade was in a terrible state. Although it had been glued back together, its original appearance was almost unrecognizable. It was a piece that Su Jinxia had personally carved and given to Shen Qianxue. It was smashed to pieces by Shen Qianxue herself in the rainy night. Even though it had been reduced to ashes, Su Jinxia still managed to repair it.
The third piece of jade was a semi-finished product; the shape of a phoenix could be vaguely seen, but it was not yet fully carved.
It's hard to imagine that after that incident where the jade was smashed, Su Jin actually carved another one exactly the same, but unfortunately she didn't have enough time to finish it.
These three pieces of jade reveal Su Jinxia's feelings all along; from beginning to end, she has always loved and has never changed her mind.
Below the jade was a hairpin, a gift he gave to Su Jinxia, which Su Jinxia kept very well, without any damage.
Shen Qianxue is feeling terrible...
"Brother Qianxue?" Mai Zizi called out cautiously, looking at Shen Qianxue who seemed about to cry.
Shen Qianxue took a light breath, closed the box, and prepared to put it back, but after thinking about it, she hugged it to her arms again.
"I'm leaving. Take good care of her."
Shen Qianxue got up and strode out of the room.
"Hey? Why did you take your things with you? That's not right!" Mai Zizi chased after him, lifting her skirt.
How could they steal something!
Shen Qianxue moved extremely fast, disappearing in just a few seconds.
Immediately afterward, Su Hu arrived, and he stormed up to Mai Zizi, shouting, "Where is she?!"
It's one thing for Shen Qianxue to come and see Su Jinxia, but she even dared to brazenly enter Su Jinxia's boudoir. It's simply outrageous!
Mai Zizi grinned, lowered her head guiltily, and pointed in the direction down the mountain, "They've already left."
Su Hu glared at Mai Zizi, the enemy spy, his anger rising. But Mai Zizi was, after all, a girl, and Su Jin's good friend. Su Hu couldn't hit her or scold her, so he could only leave in a huff.
Mai Zizi patted her pounding heart and hurried back to the secret realm.
By the time they finished making a fuss, it was already dark. The delicious aroma of food wafted out of the wooden house. Mai Zizi first went to check on Su Jinxia and saw that she had turned over and was sleeping lightly, so she went up to her and softly called out, "Su Jinxia?"
Su Jin frowned, then slowly opened her eyes. "Hmm?"
She mumbled a response, then sniffed, "It smells so good..."
Mai Zizi grinned, "How about we get up and eat?"
Su Jin instantly regained her energy and sat up in bed.
The two tidied themselves up and went to the dining hall, only to find that the food was already on the table, but no one was there.
"Where is the nun?"
The dishes on the table were half meat and half vegetables, presumably taking into account the status of the nun and the young nun, but the nun was nowhere to be seen.
As Su Jin continued walking, she ran into the little nun who was coming out of her room with a worried look on her face.
"What's wrong, Master?" Mai Zizi asked, craning her neck.
The young nun sighed, "The nun is in a bad mood and doesn't want to eat."
"Why are you in a bad mood? You were fine at noon." Su Jin was completely confused.
Mai Zizi already understood, "Did you run into Brother Qianxue? What did Brother Qianxue say?"
The young nun shook her head. "I don't know what she said, but the abbess was extremely sad."
Su Jinxia became increasingly confused. "How come I don't understand anything? Is there something wrong with my brain?"
Su Jinxia rubbed her forehead, feeling a little scared.
Mai Zizi stamped her foot, looking troubled. "It's not your fault. You probably don't know, but the nun is Qianxue's mother."
Su Jinxia's mouth gradually widened, and her eyes widened as well.
"Did I hear that right...?"
"You didn't!"
"Is the nun Fangfei?"
"Um."
The little nun sniffed pitifully, "My master heard that Su Jinxia was Shen Qianxue's fiancée, and went to great lengths to search for a good medicine, hoping that the person he loved would not leave him again. But he, on the contrary, did not show any affection at all."
"The nun encountered so many dangers, but what did she say!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" The abbess suddenly appeared behind the little nun, who was startled and quickly stepped aside.
The nun looked at Su Jin and was speechless for a moment.
Mai Zizi dared not say more. Although the nun had raised her, Mai Zizi was very afraid of her.
Su Jinxia broke the deadlock, saying, "This is my first time eating out, so please do me the honor of keeping me company, Master."
Su Jin lowered her voice to a soft, sweet tone, her clear, bright eyes filled with expectation, which touched one's heart.
The nun smiled helplessly, "Then let's go."
After they sat down at the table and the nun started eating, Su Jinxia and Mai Zizi tacitly reached for some meat.
The nun then placed a piece of green vegetable in Su Jin's bowl and instructed, "Your spleen and stomach are very weak, so you cannot eat too much oily food."
Su Jin almost spat out the meat she was biting into, and quickly said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Master."
So, whatever the nun put on Su Jin's plate, Su Jin ate it, being incredibly obedient.
Mai Zizi looked at it and suddenly burst out laughing.
The young nun glared at her. "What are you laughing at?"
Mai Zizi said, "I suddenly remembered that when Su Jinxia was sick last time, Lu Ming also managed her in the same way, but she was not as obedient as she is today. Every time she ate those medicinal meals, it was like it was going to kill her."
As she spoke, Mai Zizi gave Master Wangchen a thumbs up, saying, "You're the best."
Su Jin poked Mai Zizi with displeasure, "Don't talk while eating or sleeping, hurry up and eat your food."
Seeing Su Jin's embarrassment, everyone smiled knowingly.
After the meal, Su Jin said, "I feel particularly energetic right now. Would you like to go for a walk with me, Master?"
The nun paused for a moment, then replied softly, "Okay."
Mai Zizi and the little nun realized that Su Jinxia had something to say, so they wisely didn't follow her.
Su Jinxia and the nun then took a walk along the stream, supporting each other.
The nun's gaze was distant, revealing a faint sadness.
“I understand how you feel right now, Master,” Su Jinxia said softly. “I hurt him too, and he said he would never forgive me.”
The nun gently shook her head. "I've heard some things about you and Qianxue. We're different. What you did for Qianxue was for his own good, based on your love for him. Even if he blames you, he'll only love you more deeply."
“But I… did it for myself. I’m a selfish mother, so it’s understandable that he hates me.”
Su Jinxia hurriedly grasped the nun's hand, "No, he may seem aloof and cold, but he is actually a very warm person. He may be sad and blame you, but he will definitely not hate you."
Su Jin licked her lips and looked at the nun with heartache. "Being born as a human being doesn't mean you only have one identity. You can choose to live for him or for yourself. Neither is wrong. I think Qianxue can understand your choice back then. What he might mind is the way you left."
Upon hearing this, the nun burst into tears.
