Chapter 32 Did I Hurt You?
Without waiting for everyone to react, an old man in a Zhongshan suit and a slicked-back hair walked quickly up to her.
"Ye Chong is your master?"
Ye Jinmo nodded.
She did not change her surname when she returned to the Zhong family, largely because her master's surname was also Ye, and her and her senior brother's names were all given by their master.
At first she thought that her master accepted her as a disciple because he had some kind of relationship with the Ye family. Later she found out that it was not the case at all, and it was just a coincidence that they had the same surname.
"Grandpa, be steady and don't scare the pretty sister!" Niu Niu couldn't stand it anymore, so she pulled Chu Hong away like a little adult, with dissatisfaction on her face.
Unexpectedly, Chu Hong burst into laughter: "What a coincidence! I thought the old man had been buried in the earth a long time ago, but I didn't expect he is still alive!"
These words made her speechless. Although the old naughty master often suffered from stomachaches due to secretly eating ice cream, he was in good health and was only in his sixties. How could he possibly die?
"My master is very healthy!"
Seeing her frowning look of dissatisfaction, Chu Hong was not angry. Instead, he smiled even more happily and took her hand to sit down together.
"You are indeed the disciple taught by Old Man Ye! Good boy, your master and I used to be good friends. Thirty years ago, your master and I, as well as the current president of Imperial University, Yao Sheng, were once the three musketeers of Chinese medicine!"
As he spoke, his eyes darkened. “But later on, due to some things, your master retired to the mountains and forests, Yao Sheng changed to study economics, and I was the only one who persevered for many years.”
At this point, Grandma Ji suddenly remembered something: "Old man Chu, aren't you the president of Jiang University? Jinmo is taking the college entrance examination this year as an exception. You two are so destined to be together, why don't you recruit Jinmo to the medical department of Jiang University!"
Ye Jinmo's heart skipped a beat and she didn't know how to refuse. She knew that the two old people had good intentions, but when she thought about how Principal Yao had asked her to write a letter of guarantee that day, she felt… speechless…
Her silence seemed different in the eyes of others.
Chu Hong tried to smooth things over: "The college entrance examination results will be out tomorrow, right? Don't worry, Jinmo. If your score is not high enough, I will make an exception and recruit you to my private research room!"
He came to Ji's house early this morning, and after hearing about her situation, he felt heartbroken.
After going through so much, it would be difficult for anyone to have enough energy to face the college entrance examination, so he didn't even think about how high a score Ye Jinmo could get.
Ji Sichen saw all this and spoke up to help her out: "Wait until the scores come out, and then see where Jinmo wants to go. Don't make decisions for others casually."
After saying that, he waved to Ye Jinmo and led her out of the living room.
When she reached the backyard, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, boss!”
The two of them strolled in the corridor, with fine and dense rain falling from the sky.
The humid air mixed with the sound of rain hitting the roof created a warm feeling.
Ji Sichen lowered his head, glanced over her head, and slowed down his pace for a moment: "Where do you want to go to college?"
"Imperial University School of Medicine." The girl looked straight ahead, her voice calm but certain.
Before she could say the next word, she heard the man's chuckle above her head.
She stopped and looked at him with dissatisfaction while blinking her watery eyes, with a look of dissatisfaction on her childish face.
"You think I can't pass the exam?"
He smiled and shook his head, his dark eyes were deep and charming. He bent down slightly to look her in the eye, meeting her slightly naive expression.
"I was just thinking, when you start school, should I, as your senior, send you to school?"
The clear woody scent of the man wafted into her nose, and she blushed immediately. She took a few steps back and asked in surprise, "Are you also a student of the Imperial University?"
"I have graduated from Imperial University for two years..."
Before he could finish, she felt a loose stone slab under her feet. Raindrops fell on the stone slab, causing her feet to slip and her body to fall backwards, about to fall into the pond behind her.
"careful!"
Ji Sichen was quick to grab her hand.
Unexpectedly, the inertia was too great and the two people flipped over the corridor fence and fell into the pond. The koi fish that had originally gathered on the water surface suddenly fled in all directions.
The water in the pond was not deep, and it reached up to the waist when standing up.
His hands protected her head, and the back of his hands were scratched by the fake rocks in the water, which mixed with pool water and rain, and looked particularly shocking.
"Your hand!"
"Are you okay?"
They both spoke at the same time and smiled at each other.
"A-choo," the girl sneezed, covering her mouth and nose.
The next second, the man put his arms around her waist, lifted her up, and walked out of the pond step by step.
The servants on the shore were very anxious and quickly pulled the two men up and covered them with dry towels.
In the nearby room, the servant brought two sets of clean clothes.
Ye Jinmo used iodine to disinfect the back of his hand.
Soft fingertips gently pinched his fingers.
He lowered his head and happened to see the girl applying the medicine seriously with her head down.
The wet white short-sleeved shirt clung to her body, almost transparent, revealing her beautiful curves.
Suddenly, he withdrew his hand and coughed lightly.
"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" The girl looked up blankly, her hair sticking to her face in a messy manner.
He raised his hand to help her smooth out her hair, and looked away: "Change your clothes first, or you'll catch a cold."
As he said this, he picked up the clean skirt on the table and stuffed it into her hand, then stood up and left the room.
She picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom. When she saw herself in the mirror, she suddenly blushed.
She applied medicine to her boss in such a miserable state, it was so embarrassing!
She took a quick shower and cleaned herself up.
Just as I came out, Ji Sichen knocked on the door and came in, holding a bowl of ginger soup.
The blush on her face had not yet faded, and when she met his eyes, heat rose to the tips of her ears again.
Her expression was completely captured in his eyes, and every move seemed particularly cute to him.
Ye Jinmo quickly avoided his sight, thanked him and sat down to drink the soup in small sips.
She didn't like the taste of ginger, but she knew she had to use ginger soup to warm her body.
He drank it with a wrinkled face.
Ji Sichen took the hair dryer and carefully helped her blow dry her hair.
"boss……"
"Sit down." He held her shoulders. "If you get sick after coming to the Ji family, I won't be able to explain to your brother."
Hearing this, she calmed down and silently felt a pair of large hands playing with her hair.
The room was so quiet that only the sound of the hairdryer could be heard.
This bowl of ginger soup seemed to be particularly rich, and she drank it for a long time.
She was lost in thought, and when she came back to her senses, Ji Sichen had already placed two boxes on the table.
"I went to an auction a while ago and saw two medicinal herbs. I thought you might like them."
She opened the box with surprise, and found two high-quality ginsengs inside.
Worth a fortune!
"This is too expensive..."
"Do you like it?" the man interrupted her.
"I..." She was a little confused, "I like..."
As she loves traditional Chinese medicine, she naturally loves medicinal herbs. I wonder how many lives this quality of ginseng can save!
The man immediately smiled and put the medicine box in her hand: "As long as you like it."
After a pause, he continued, "If you need any medicinal materials in the future, just tell me and I will do my best."
