Wen Liangce's cooking skills are quite good; he made two dishes and a soup.
Since Su Yan still had classes, she started acupuncture after dinner and the needles were removed after an hour.
Su Yan slept for an hour and felt much better.
She glanced at the time.
It's 1:30 now, and she still has plenty of time to call Jiang Jingxing.
After tidying up, Wen Liangce came out of the kitchen and, seeing that she was awake, said, "Miss Su, if you have nothing else, I'll be leaving now?"
Su Yan got up from the sofa and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Wen. You can go now. I'll go back to school by myself in a bit."
Wen Liang gave a reply and left.
The apartment fell silent again.
Su Yan was in a daze for a few minutes when the mobile phone she was holding suddenly rang.
She took it and held it to her ear, "Who is this?"
There was a few seconds of silence before a voice came from the other end, "I called you, why didn't you answer?"
The deep, magnetic voice was familiar yet tinged with a hint of anger.
Su Yan's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of panic flashed across her face. She tried to remain calm and explained, "I have too many classes. My phone is always in my dorm. If you call me during class, of course I wouldn't know. I didn't do it on purpose. Why are you being so mean?"
Sure enough, after hearing her explanation, Jiang Jingxing's anger dissipated considerably. He said helplessly, "Then why didn't you call me? I heard from Xie Jin that you fainted due to menstrual cramps. I called you more than a dozen times, but you didn't answer."
Su Yan: "..."
I swear to God!
She swore she absolutely didn't mean to refuse!
After mentally preparing her answer, she whispered, "I really didn't know. I was planning to call you today, but you called first. It's not my fault."
Actually, it's one thing that she didn't do it on purpose, but another thing is that she was intentionally avoiding Jiang Jingxing because she wasn't mentally prepared to face him.
I don't know when it started, but she's become so hesitant.
The girl's voice sounded extremely aggrieved, and Jiang Jingxing couldn't bear to scold her, so he softened his tone a lot, "Ayan, I miss you very much and I'm worried about you. I'm on the train to Guangzhou now. I have to report to the army and wait until the weekend to come out and see you. Can you wait for me at school on Saturday?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan's mind went blank for a moment, and she reflexively asked, "Are you fully recovered? Why did you come so quickly?!"
She was so anxious that her back was covered in sweat.
"My physical condition was originally good, my wounds healed very well, and Elder Jue has already agreed to let me return to the team."
"Is...is that so?" Su Yan said dryly.
As observant as Jiang Jingxing was, he immediately sensed something was amiss. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Ayan, don't you want me to come to Guangzhou sooner? Or do you not want to see me?"
Su Yan took a deep breath. "How could that be? I'm just worried about your health, and... and you don't need to care about me so much, you don't need to do so much for me. I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of myself."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer.
Jiang Jingxing asked, puzzled, "You are my future wife. If I don't care about you and do things for you, am I supposed to do things for someone else? Ayan, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"No, nothing happened." She refused outright. "I just feel that you are the leader, and you have a huge responsibility on your shoulders. You should be most concerned about the burden on your shoulders, not focusing your attention on me alone. It will make me feel a lot of pressure. I am not as fragile as Jiang Jingxing. I can accept whatever happens. You don't need to treat me like a weak rabbit."
Jiang Jingxing thought that his tone had been too harsh and had made her angry, and that the nonsensical things he was saying now were just angry words. But then he thought that Su Yan didn't talk like this when she was angry.
Forget it, I won't get any answers over the phone. I'll talk to her properly when we meet in person.
"Okay, I understand."
Su Yan wiped away the tears that were about to fall. "Okay, I have to go back to school now. Let's talk again when you get there."
Without giving the other party any chance to reply, she immediately hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, she slumped onto the sofa with a sense of relief, staring at the ceiling, her tears flowing even more profusely.
Facing Jiang Jingxing, she lacked the courage to ask that question.
Even though she had prepared for the worst, she still didn't dare to ask him.
She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she always had a strong sense of panic inside her.
At two o'clock, Su Yan had calmed down enough, packed up her things, and rushed back to school.
...
On the train.
Jiang Jingxing felt increasingly uneasy. In the past, Su Yan would never hang up so abruptly before giving him a chance to reply.
Does she not like him anymore?
Could it be that she has fallen for someone else at school, which is why she's being so cold to him?
Countless thoughts swirled in his mind, and he finally couldn't help but call Xie Jin.
Xie Jin was also in Guangzhou, and he was the one who knew the most about her.
Xie Jin answered the phone quickly, "Who is this?"
"It's me, Jiang Jingxing."
"Oh? It's Commander Jiang. Why are you calling me all of a sudden? That's so strange," Xie Jin joked casually.
Jiang Jingxing frowned and said, "I want to ask about Su Yan. I just finished talking to her on the phone, and she seemed a bit off."
Upon hearing that it was about Su Yan, Xie Jin became more serious. "What's wrong with my junior sister? My assistant didn't say there was anything wrong with her."
Jiang Jingxing then repeated what Su Yan had just said, "She wouldn't have said these things before, and her attitude towards me was also wrong."
Xie Jin, however, understood why Su Yan treated Jiang Jingxing this way.
He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Commander Jiang, I forgot to tell you, Ayan knows she's infertile. Maybe... because of this, she doesn't know how to face you?"
Jiang Jingxing's expression instantly darkened. "Why did you tell her? You knew perfectly well..."
“You’re wronging me!” Xie Jin quickly interrupted, “She realized something was wrong herself. She’s so smart, how could I hide it from her? That day she asked me if you really didn’t mind her infertility. I told her to talk to you openly, but I guess she wasn’t ready, which is why she said so many strange things.”
That day, he called Jiang Jingxing and Su Yu, only mentioning that Su Yan had fainted due to menstrual cramps; he forgot to mention anything else.
Jiang Jingxing rubbed his throbbing forehead and muttered, "No wonder."
Then Su Yan's attitude towards him just now makes perfect sense.
“My junior sister is pitiful too, don’t blame her.” Xie Jin said earnestly, “If you really can’t accept it, there’s no need to hide it from her. We’d rather she suffer now than later…”
"Beep beep beep—!"
Before he could finish speaking, the call was cut off.
Xie Jin: "..."
