"Master, I'm not sure if I touched the wrong thing, but I feel like my meridians are connected." Su Yan suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Elder Jue immediately got up and went to take her place.
In the past three days, Su Yan's bone-reading technique has become increasingly refined, so he took a break and didn't let Jiang Jingxing feel his bones.
Less than half a minute later, Old Man Jue's expression suddenly changed.
Jiang Jingxing slowed his breathing, "Old Jue, my legs..."
He dared not ask the question aloud, fearing he would receive a disappointing answer.
Master Jue ignored him. A minute later, he released his grip and said happily, "Yes, the meridians are connected. It's just that the fluctuations are very subtle. It doesn't matter. As long as they are connected, it proves that there is a possibility of recovery."
Jiang Jingxing, fearing he had misheard, quickly asked uncertainly, "Elder Jue, do you mean my leg can get better?"
Master Jue was in a very good mood and nodded. "It is good that it can get better, but it is still unclear to what extent it can recover. It depends on the subsequent situation. I cannot guarantee anything. In short, the severed tendons have been connected, which is good news."
Jiang Jingxing looked at Su Yan, opened his mouth, "Ayan, I..."
Su Yan looked at him coldly, showing no joy whatsoever for him. "Commander Jiang, please just call me Su Yan. I'm not used to being called 'Ayan' by strangers."
The high spirits vanished by half in an instant.
Si Nan gradually relaxed, but he was a little confused by Su Yan's attitude.
She clearly can't let go of Jiang Jingxing, so why is she being so cold? Is she playing hard to get? Does she want Jiang Jingxing to coax her for a little longer?
Si Nan suddenly panicked.
If Su Yan forgives Jiang Jingxing...
Jiang Jingxing chose to break up with her because he thought she had no chance of recovery. Now that her legs are improving, he can't wait to get back together. Wouldn't all the grievances and efforts she's put in these past few days have been for nothing?!
No!
She and Jiang Jingxing were a match made in heaven, and Su Yan was the third party!
She absolutely refused to allow thieves to steal what belonged to her!
Si Nan tried to calm himself down and think of a solution.
Old Master Jue also knew that Jiang Jingxing did not dislike Su Yan, but because of his leg condition, he did so many things to hurt her.
But what's done is done, and given Su Yan's personality, she would never forgive Jiang Jingxing.
Su Yan didn't want to give Jiang Jingxing a chance to speak at all, and turned to ask Master Jue, "Master, do I pass the test or should I take it again on another day?"
Master Jue immediately said, "No need. If you can feel the connection of the tendons and veins, it proves that you have mastered the essence of bone palpation. In the future, when you encounter such cases, trust your intuition. However, you cannot slack off after you go back. Your teacher will test you from time to time."
"I see."
"Alright, pack your things and go home for a good New Year. Prepare well for the exams after school starts. Your master will be waiting for you in Beijing."
Su Yan responded and then quickly packed her things and left the ward.
Su Yu thought for a moment and then followed his sister.
As soon as Su Yan left, Jiang Jingxing asked anxiously, "You know perfectly well what I feel for her... why did you still urge her to leave?"
Old Jue walked to the stool and sat down, sneering, "Young Jiang, since you made your choice immediately, you must accept the consequences."
"I didn't mean it that way." Jiang Jingxing finally told the truth, and said dejectedly, "I didn't want to be a burden to her, I didn't want her to suffer with me, so I resorted to this desperate measure. You know that in your heart, don't you?"
"Now that you see hope for your legs, you regret it and want to make up. But there aren't that many good things in this world waiting for you." Old Jue said irritably, "Don't you know what kind of person Su Yan is? You were wrong from the moment you chose to act with Si Nan, you were completely wrong! My apprentice is someone who can't tolerate any nonsense. You flirted with other women so quickly and deliberately hurt her feelings, so she will never forgive you."
These past few days, Jiang Jingxing and Si Nan have been feeding each other, and he's been incredibly attentive to Si Nan, even allowing other women to get close to him. Isn't all of this something he's doing for Su Yan's benefit? Isn't he just trying to make her give up on him?
Is Su Yan really as indifferent as she seems? Impossible!
Jiang Jingxing's actions were no different from tearing her heart out and shattering her bones to her; she was simply enduring it.
When you endure something to a certain extent, your heart dies, and you give up.
“I advise you to look forward. Miss Si is also a good girl. Putting everything else aside, Miss Si’s status is more suitable for you. If you two can really get together, I would strongly agree,” said Old Man Jue.
He wasn't deliberately making fun of Jiang Jingxing.
Aside from a few minor flaws, Si Nan is otherwise quite good, at least better than other young ladies in the capital.
There is no other girl in Beijing who is as outstanding as Si Nan in terms of appearance and family background.
Si Nan looked up, flattered, not expecting that Elder Jue would speak up for her.
Jiang Jingxing frowned and said, "My heart has always belonged to Su Yan, and there is no room for anyone else. Even if I cannot win her forgiveness in the future, I will stay with her. I will never marry anyone else in this life except for her."
Si Nan's face paled; she hadn't expected him to say something like that.
But who can predict the future? Maybe he'll change his mind someday.
Old Jue sighed, "Do as you please. We don't know what's going on with your leg yet. Don't be too happy too soon. If it can't recover to its original state, you still won't be able to go to the battlefield for the rest of your life."
...
Su Yan returned to her room and packed her luggage without saying a word.
Su Yu leaned against the door, watching her busy figure, his feelings somewhat complicated.
After these days, once he calmed down, he guessed Jiang Jingxing's good intentions. Jiang was thinking about his sister's future, and he couldn't possibly hold a grudge against him.
"Ah Yan," he hesitated, "Are you really going home?"
Su Yan paused for a moment, then resumed her normal actions and said, "Why don't you go home? There's nothing for me to do here anymore."
Su Yu coughed lightly, pondering for a moment before saying, "Look, let's put ourselves in his shoes. It's not that Jiang Jingxing doesn't love you anymore; it's precisely because he loves you that he's considering your future, so..."
“When I learned that I couldn’t have children, I was just as tormented as he was.” Su Yan interrupted him and said calmly, “I thought about breaking up with him, but he gave me encouragement and the courage to persevere. I didn’t run away and chose to stay with him.”
And him? He found a woman to disgust me every day, trying to make me give up. Whether it was out of genuine concern or not, I did as he wished.
She has a strong aversion to romantic relationships. Even though she loves him, she can't stand him being affectionate with other women in front of her every day. She's had enough.
Su Yan's expression was indifferent as she continued, "Don't say anymore. His kindness is too good for me to accept."
She was willing to be with him regardless of everything, giving him plenty of choices, but he himself became despondent and pushed her away time and time again.
