Chapter 115: Unrequited Love is the Normal State of the World
Jiang Huaichuan seemed to have heard a joke, completely ignoring her tears and asking, "Why would I lie to you?"
Ye Jiao burst into tears, sobbing as she said, "If you really like her, then why would you stay up all night to take care of me because I was sick?"
It even made her think...that he had her in his heart!
At least no one has ever cared about her as much as he does, not even her parents have ever done so.
Jiang Huaichuan hadn't expected his accidental act of kindness to lead to such a misunderstanding. He explained, "Ye Zhiqing, if my previous actions have caused you to misunderstand, I apologize. I want to reiterate that I only agreed to send you because I felt you were a girl and you were unsafe. I would have agreed to send you for any other girl."
"Besides, I took care of you because I was almost late for an appointment. I was just paying for my mistake, that's all."
His explanation was like a sharp blade, piercing Ye Jiao's already broken heart and making her feel extremely painful.
It was as if to say that everything she thought was just her wishful thinking.
This hurt her more than if she had confessed directly and been rejected.
After saying this, Jiang Huaichuan didn't wait for her to react. He shook off her hand, pushed his bicycle past her, and left without even looking back.
Ye Jiao seemed to be frozen on the ground. She covered her face with her hands in a bewildered manner, trying hard to hold back her tears, and just shed tears silently.
At this moment, a pair of shiny leather shoes appeared behind her, and a deep, magnetic male voice rang out from above her head, "Unrequited love is the norm in the world. Instead of blindly chasing after others, it's better to improve yourself. Once you reach a certain level, you'll find that what you once dreamed of is nothing more than this."
Ye Jiao raised her head in astonishment, meeting the man's condescending gaze. She timidly said, "Master..."
Jiang Xibei closed his eyes and said, "Let's go to the ward."
Ye Jiao looked at his aloof and arrogant back, and it seemed that the discomfort in her heart had dissipated a little because of what he had just said. Perhaps the master was right. Instead of always looking up to others, it is better to improve herself.
Even without love, she still has to live her life.

Jiang Wanying stayed in the village for one night. Early the next morning, she rode her bicycle to school alone. Around seven o'clock, Jiang Wanying wanted to call her to get up, but then he found that she had already left.
"Mother Yingying left at six in the morning. I was planning to call you, but she just rode away on her bike." Xu Hongping just came out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of sweet potato porridge. "There are still steamed buns in the pot. You can help yourself to them later. There's something going on at the Tian Brigade, so I have to go there first."
After giving the instructions, she handed the bowl to Jiang Qibei and hurried out.
Jiang Qibei didn't think much about it. After breakfast, he went straight to the infirmary. He was about to go to Kyoto, so he had to take advantage of this time to teach Ye Jiao some basic knowledge.
But medicine is much more difficult to learn than ordinary things, and these few days alone are just a drop in the bucket.
However, he found that Ye Jiao was very talented in this area and could learn things quickly. In view of her hard work, Jiang Xibei also discussed with his eldest brother and decided to let Ye Jiao stay in the hospital in the future. She would not have to work in the fields, but she would still be given work points.
