"How is this possible? Why didn't I get a number?" Xie Jin asked incredulously.
His medical skills are not bad. Although he is not as good as the second son, he is certainly capable of diagnosing even the slightest problem.
Guo Ziming also said dejectedly, "I haven't been able to get a number either."
He hadn't spoken for a while because he couldn't get a fever.
Grandpa Jue snorted coldly, "That's because you two weren't calm enough and your attention wasn't fully focused on taking her pulse. Alright, let someone come and treat Ayan first, and we'll talk about it after she's taken care of."
After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Jingxing and said irritably, "Why are you so agitated? Don't you want your injury to heal?"
Jiang Jingxing's wound is severely festering; it will take at least half a month for it to heal until he can move without bleeding.
Jiang Jingxing was in a bad mood, and upon hearing this, he simply said, "It's nothing, I can handle this little injury."
"Political Commissar Su, help him back to lie down." Old Jue was too lazy to talk to this stubborn fellow.
Su Yu responded.
A short while later, two nurses came to change Su Yan's sheets and clean up the bloodstains.
With the curtains in place, they didn't need to go out to avoid suspicion.
Master Jue sat down and explained to Guo Ziming and Xie Jin, "Your junior sister's fever is just as Fei Xu said, caused by an excessive amount of cold energy in her body. You can try to take the fever again in a while, but you can't do it if your mind isn't calm."
That's why he let Ye Feixu give it a try.
He wasn't surprised that Ye Feixu could come up with the name.
"Then how should we treat it? We can't let her keep burning up, can we?" Su Yu asked.
Jiang Jingxing seemed lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Besides giving her some warming and nourishing medicine, we’ll add acupuncture treatment after she wakes up,” said Master Jue. “She’ll be starting school soon, so I can’t do acupuncture for long; I’ll have to give her medicine.”
"What's the big deal? Senior Brother is often in Guangzhou, so he gives Junior Sister acupuncture every day," Guo Ziming said.
Xie Jin wanted to say something, but then he added, "Senior Brother, you won't refuse because it's too much trouble, will you?"
Xie Jin: "..." You're like a worm in my stomach!
He might as well keep running around, after all, he only had one junior sister, and he still cared about her.
“Okay, I’ll give my junior sister acupuncture every day when we get to Guangzhou,” he said.
Jiang Jingxing, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked, "Elder Jue, will Ayan get sick often in the future?"
As soon as these words were spoken, several gazes turned to Elder Jue.
Old Master Jue originally wanted to keep it a secret, but he didn't expect Jiang Jingxing to be so perceptive as to actually find out.
He sighed, "Her resistance is too weak right now, and with the coldness in her body, catching a cold and fever will be a regular occurrence in the future. But she'll only think it's because of the influence of the Lola fruit, so don't let it slip in front of her."
Guo Ziming felt a tightness in his chest at the thought of his junior sister becoming sickly in the future. He glared at Jiang Jingxing and said, "Did you hear that? If you don't take good care of my junior sister in the future, I'll make you regret it!"
Jiang Jingxing was not angry at all; instead, he replied earnestly, "I will definitely take good care of her."
"I hope you're not just saying that," Guo Ziming sneered.
"Elder Jue, now that the poison in my sister's body has been completely eliminated, when will she wake up?" Su Yu asked.
"Tonight or tomorrow."
At this moment, the medical staff finished tidying up, pulled back the curtain, and quietly left.
"Grandpa," Jiang Jingxing noticed the old man's fatigue and said, "I'm fine now. You should go back and rest. I'll come home to see you when I'm better."
Grandpa Jue glanced at Grandpa Jiang's face and said, "You're not the same as before. Listen to Jiang boy and don't force yourself."
Grandpa Jiang nodded. "Alright, I'll go back first. Remember to tell me when Yan'er wakes up, and I'll come to see her."
...
The following day at noon.
Su Yan finally woke up.
When she opened her eyes, her master, senior brother, Jiang Jingxing, and brother were all gathered around her bed.
Her hazy gaze unconsciously fell on Jiang Jingxing. "You're awake. Am I dreaming?"
The girl's voice was soft and gentle, tinged with disbelief.
Her small face was pale and terribly thin, looking as if it would break at the slightest touch.
Jiang Jingxing's eyes instantly reddened. He took her hand and placed it on his cheek, smiling as he said, "It's not a dream, it's real, Ayan. The poison from the Lola Fruit is gone, we're all alright now."
Su Yan smiled faintly, "It's good that you're still alive."
As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Su Yu's face beside her.
Su Yu lost ten pounds recently, and the weight he had finally gained back came right back. His once-fitting military uniform is now loose and baggy.
But now, he was clearly happy.
After being in a coma for several days, Su Yan hadn't forgotten what she had done. Seeing her brother's condition, guilt welled up in her heart. "Brother, I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Sigh." Su Yu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I've stopped blaming you a long time ago. As long as you can wake up, that's all that matters."
"Junior sister, don't just look at the two of them, I'm working hard too, okay?" Guo Ziming complained.
Su Yan gave him a faint smile.
Her smile was serene and gentle, radiating a sense of tranquility.
Guo Ziming felt his heart skip a beat, and a strange emotion welled up inside him, which he quickly suppressed.
Su Yan looked at Elder Jue, but before she could speak, Elder Jue patted her shoulder and said, “You don’t need to say anything. Your master is proud of your courage. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health and then study my medical skills diligently.”
"good!"
...
A week has passed.
Siheyuan (courtyard house).
Su Yan returned from the military region two days ago, and she is now free to move around.
However, her master asked her to stay for another week for observation before going to school to report.
Jue Lao contacted the president of Southern Medical University and explained the reasons. He had a legitimate reason, and since it was a call from a leading figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, the president of the medical university naturally could not refuse and immediately approved Su Yan's two-week leave.
Old Master Jue has been staying in the courtyard house these past few days, so it's convenient for him to give Su Yan acupuncture.
After lunch and acupuncture, he instructed, "You're two weeks behind in your studies. You must catch up when you go back to school, understand?"
Su Yan lay on the sofa with her back exposed, her back covered with needles, densely packed together.
Upon hearing this, she responded lazily.
Three braised food shops opened today, and her family all went to join in the fun, leaving only her and her master at home.
The three senior brothers all left.
However, since the third senior brother was already in Beijing, he would go to the courtyard house whenever he had free time.
Jiang Jingxing's wound is quite serious, and he is currently recuperating at the military region and cannot leave.
Her brother had to end his leave and stay at the military region to work.
"Master, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like I have no energy." She said casually.
Old Jue was sitting next to me watching TV. When he heard this, his face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.
"The juice of the lavender is too toxic, and your body has been affected a bit. Take your time to recover."
In fact, Su Yan's condition was worse than he had predicted.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have insisted that she stay for another week.
