Su Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this.
She rested her chin on her hand and teased, "Commander Song, how can you say that so calmly and matter-of-factly?"
They made it sound like the old man really cared about her, but she never thought that way.
“It’s not a given; he’d love for you to be his last disciple. Although Mr. Jue is getting on in years, he has excellent judgment,” Jiang Jingxing said with a faint smile.
Su Yan blushed and coughed lightly, saying, "Please don't say that. Grandpa Jue is a leading figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. My skills are far inferior to his."
Jiang Jingxing: "It's okay. With my girlfriend's intelligence, she'll definitely learn things with ease."
The man's words flowed out like they were free, making her feel a little dizzy.
"Alright, I won't disturb your work anymore. I'm going to sleep now. Tomorrow morning, my brother and I are going to visit Su Changcheng in prison."
Given Su Changcheng's actions, including the harm he caused to the original owner in her memories, she simply couldn't bring herself to call him "father."
Jiang Jingxing was a little reluctant to part, but it was indeed getting late. "Okay, you should rest now. Good night."
"You should get some rest too." Su Yan bit her lip. "Remember to think of me, I'll miss you too!"
Although she tried to appear calm, Jiang Jingxing, with his excellent hearing, could still detect the shyness in her voice. A pleasant laugh escaped his throat as he said, "I think about you every day, my girlfriend."
The next second.
"Beep beep beep—!"
The phone went dead.
Jiang Jingxing laughed even more heartily. He could already imagine how red Su Yan's face was right now, and his brows softened even more.
The days when he could only communicate by phone were too hard to bear. He had to think of a way; he couldn't go on like this forever.
Su Yan could hold back, but he couldn't. The moment he heard her voice, he felt a pang of longing and discomfort, as if ants were gnawing at his body.
Jiang Jingxing didn't understand himself either. He was almost thirty years old, so why did he act like a rash fool when it came to dating?
Meanwhile, Su Yan, who had just hung up the phone, was burying her head in the blanket and writhing on the bed. The man's deep, magnetic voice seemed to still echo in her ears, making her so embarrassed that her toes curled up.
After calming down, Su Yan kicked off the blanket, stared blankly at the ceiling with wide eyes. Under the orange light, her skin was fair and pink, and the rosy glow had not completely faded.
Where does Jiang Jingxing get such magic? He can make her blush like this just by saying a few sweet words.
To be honest, it's better if we don't keep in touch.
Upon first contact, she found herself missing this man quite a bit.
However, in her heart, career is always more important than love. This may be due to her personality. She doesn't want to depend on others for a living, as it would make her feel insecure.
But she really liked Jiang Jingxing and could feel that this man cared about her.
Lost in thought, drowsiness suddenly overwhelmed Su Yan, and she gradually drifted off to sleep, clutching her blanket.
But she didn't sleep well tonight, and kept getting caught up in different dreams.
In her dream, she was out at night when a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed her vulnerable neck. She was dragged backward forcefully and finally pinned down by a masked stranger on a deserted roadside. The man tore her clothes, and her desperate resistance and screams were in vain. Just as her pants were being pulled down, she heard the sound of a car. She screamed for help even more fiercely until her voice became hoarse.
Soon, Su Yan heard the sound of orderly footsteps. A moment later, she felt a lightness on her body as the man who had been pressing down on her was pulled away. Her eyes were filled with terror, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and she kept repeating "Help!"
A tall man walked towards her in the darkness, extended his hand, and said in a cold but concerned voice, "It's alright, get up."
It was too dark at night, and there were no lights around, so I couldn't see the man's face clearly.
She was terrified and didn't reach out her hand, but instead curled up in a ball, feeling extremely insecure.
Upon seeing this, the man immediately took off his clothes and covered her with them, then ordered his subordinates, "Take her to the hospital and arrange for a psychologist."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Su Yan's previously unfocused pupils suddenly focused. Seeing the man's tall and muscular back, a strong sense of security welled up inside her. She didn't know where the courage came from, but she got up and threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Don't go, don't go! I'm scared, waaaah..."
"Commander!"
The man's subordinate cried out in alarm, then quickly grabbed her arm and tried to pull her away.
As a result, Su Yan was as if she were covered in cement, and no matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't budge her. Even though her hands hurt a lot, she just didn't want to let go, and her aggrieved tears quickly soaked the fabric of the man's body.
The man's body was stiff.
After a long pause, he said, "Don't hurt her."
After saying that, he grasped her wrist and said, "Don't be afraid, I will stand up for you. Let go of her hand first."
His voice seemed to have a bewitching power, and Su Yan sobbed softly, her hand unconsciously loosening its grip.
The moment the man turned around and looked down at her, she rushed forward again, hugging his waist and burying her face in his chest, saying with a mix of grievance and fear, "Don't go, I'm scared."
The man's body was stiff. Su Yan could feel him taking deep breaths, but she was unwilling to let go.
"It's alright. I'll have my subordinate take you to the hospital and report this to the police, okay?" the man said patiently.
Su Yan shook her head frantically, her emotions suddenly collapsing, "I don't want to! Don't go! I don't want you to leave!"
"Hey! What's wrong with you, girl? Our commander is very busy. It's already a great favor that he can spare the time to deal with this little thing of yours. And you still want him to accompany you to the hospital? You have quite the nerve..."
