Wen Nai asked softly, "Yan Yan, is something on your mind?"
Su Yan wiped away her tears, frowned, and said, "It's not really a big deal, I'm just feeling a bit lost. I feel like I'm growing up too slowly. I want to protect the people I want to protect, not have others protect me."
"Huh?" Wen Nai said in surprise, "I heard you say that in my dream. I remember my answer to you was, Yan Yan, you're getting stuck on this again. There aren't that many things in this world that go your way. Instead of struggling in confusion, it's better to go with the flow."
Su Yan couldn't help but laugh, "You did say that to me, exactly the same thing."
“I’ve found that every dream I have since my car accident is about you. It seems I need to finish what I’m doing and go to Beijing to find you.” Wen Nai comforted her, “Yan Yan, remember not to dwell on it.”
"Okay, I promise you."
Just then, a voice called out from Wennai's side, "Miss, the dresses for the banquet have all arrived. You can go and try them on now."
Wen Nai responded, then said, "Okay, Yan Yan, I'll hang up now and call you back later."
"good."
This time, it was Su Yan who hung up the phone.
She put her phone aside, feeling much more relaxed.
Dinner was over, and the group came out to leave.
Jingmao noticed the girl on the swing and unconsciously turned his toes in a different direction.
He walked behind the swing, gently pushed the ropes on both sides, and asked, "Miss Su, why are you here alone?"
Su Yan turned around reflexively, her brows furrowing again, and calmly asked, "Why hasn't Mr. Jing left?"
Jing Mao said, "I was about to leave when I saw Miss Su here, so I came over to say hello. I wonder if Miss Su is free tomorrow? I would like to invite you to dinner."
"I'm sorry, my sister is not free tomorrow, she has an appointment."
Tao Yue returned after seeing off her guests and immediately came over to stop him upon hearing Jing Mao's words.
Su Yan raised an eyebrow, got up from the swing and distanced herself from Jing Mao, declining lightly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jing."
Jingmao didn't notice anything wrong with Su Yan's attitude; he just thought she was a cold and aloof beauty.
“Alright then, I’ll make another appointment with Miss Su later.” Jing Mao said, glancing at Tao Yue who looked wary, and continued, “I’ll take my leave now.”
After saying that, he strode away.
Tao Yue spat at his back, her delicate face full of disgust.
Su Yan found it amusing. "You don't have much contact with Jing Mao, so why are you so hostile towards him?"
"Ayan, stay away from him! He's definitely up to no good!" Tao Yue said angrily. "Even my brother wouldn't talk to someone like that, he's definitely not a good person!"
"Tao Yue, how dare you speak like that?!" Tao Yuan heard his daughter's words as soon as he entered the room and couldn't help but scold her sternly, "The guests haven't gone far yet, are you afraid they can't hear you?"
Tao Yue pouted and muttered, "I'm just telling the truth."
"you!"
"Oh, alright!" Qiao Fei punched her husband in annoyance and yelled, "You're not happy that Xiaoyue can tell right from wrong? Do you only feel satisfied when she goes back to being the way she was before, unable to distinguish between good and bad?"
Tao Yuan, "..."
Tao Yue's face turned bright red; she wished her mother would stop talking!
Grandma Tao showed no joy and said with a sigh, "Why do I always feel like this New Year is anything but peaceful?"
“Mom, you’re just getting older and worrying more,” Tao Yuan said.
"I hope I'm just overthinking it." After saying that, Grandma Tao looked at Su Yan, "Ayan, you're not leaving tonight, are you?"
Su Yan said, "I'm not leaving. I'll stay here tonight, but I'm going to the hospital tomorrow to learn from my second senior brother."
This task must have been assigned to her by Grandpa Jue, and Grandma Tao didn't say anything about her staying a few more days.
Since we're both in Beijing, we can see each other anytime we want.
...
The next morning.
Military hospital.
After arriving at the hospital in the Tao family's car, Su Yan went straight to Zhong Jinghe's ward.
Upon noticing Su Yu there, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother, didn't you and Sister Jinghe go home yesterday?"
Su Yu said, "I went home for dinner last night and my mother rushed me to the hospital. Jinghe needs to get an injection this morning, so if I come today, I'll have to get up too early."
Zhong Jinghe's complexion looked much better. Su Yan asked, "Sister Jinghe, did my senior brothers give you any medicine?"
Zhong Jinghe shook her head. "Dr. Ye said that my constitution was weak and I needed to get injections every day, so he started with acupuncture to see the effect. Later, he stopped the Western medicine and used acupuncture combined with Chinese medicine."
Currently, Zhong Jinghe's condition can only be treated with Western medicine, which is effective quickly.
Once the condition gradually stabilizes, then switch to traditional Chinese medicine for a radical cure; this way, it won't be as harmful to the body.
"Where are my second and third senior brothers?"
Su Yu pointed upstairs, "Jiang Jingxing's ward."
After saying that, he added cheekily, "Do you want to go up and take a look?"
Su Yan glared at him, "You're always causing trouble."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Su Yu touched his nose.
To make the two reconcile, he had to endure a lot of scolding from his sister, and he would have to get his revenge on Jiang Jingxing later.
"Su Yu, is Jiang Jingxing Ayan's boyfriend?" Zhong Jinghe couldn't help but ask.
She often heard people mention the name Jiang Jingxing.
Su Yu thought for a moment, "She should be my ex now."
"...What do you mean by 'should be'?"
Zhong Jinghe is a liberal arts student and has a hard time accepting grammatical errors, so she has always liked to scrutinize words and ask questions since she was a child.
It was rare to see her so curious about something, so Su Yu told her in detail about the "love-hate relationship" between his sister and Jiang Jingxing.
...
Su Yan, who was going upstairs, was completely unaware of her brother's behavior of revealing her secrets without hesitation in order to please his wife.
When she arrived at Jiang Jingxing's ward, Ye Feixu was giving him acupuncture.
Guo Ziming sat to the side, gazing out the window absentmindedly, his brows furrowed, looking somewhat displeased.
"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother," she called out.
The three men in the room immediately turned to look at her.
Jiang Jingxing's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Ayan."
Su Yan pursed her lips, remembering what her grandmother had said. After some hesitation, she walked to the bedside and asked, "Is your leg feeling any better?"
This was the first time she had shown concern for him since they broke up.
Jiang Jingxing's expression was slightly excited, his deep eyes reflecting her face, as if he could only see her.
"I've regained normal sensation, so the pain from the wound is very intense," he said.
Ye Feixu adjusted his glasses and reminded him, "Commander Jiang, it's already a miracle that your tendons and veins were reconnected. During your recovery, you can't engage in strenuous exercise for long periods of time, and you absolutely cannot perform any missions, otherwise it will cause secondary damage."
In other words, even if Jiang Jingxing returns to the army, he will not be able to take on any missions!
If he wants to continue in this field, he has no choice but to move behind the scenes.
Jiang Jingxing's legs are like a vase with a crack; even if they are repaired, flaws will remain, and they can never be restored to their original state.
