Zhu Li took Yun Zhao's pulse and confirmed what Yun Zhao said: "There is indeed improvement. Continue the acupuncture."
Yun Zhao's eyes flicked over the gold bracelet on Zhu Li's wrist. Because he was lying down, he couldn't see the acupuncture process, but thinking about that long gold needle, it could pierce a person through...
Xie Jing watched Zhu Li's acupuncture treatment this time. Seeing the dense beads of sweat on Yun Zhao's forehead, Xie Jing couldn't help but gasp. No wonder Yun Xu said Zhu Li was a ruthless person who showed no mercy.
Using the golden needle was also extremely exhausting for Zhu Li, but she was certainly in better shape than Yun Zhao. Yun Zhao looked like he had been pulled out of the water, while Zhu Li, with sweat on her forehead, sat on a stool beside the cot to rest and calm herself.
Xie Jing poured tea for Zhu Li: "Drink a glass of water and calm down."
Zhu Li took two sips of tea from Xie Jing's hand and even had the leisure to chat and joke with Xie Jing: "Shall we have dinner together tonight? Before we met in person, I wanted to go out and eat all kinds of delicious food with you."
Xie Jing was very moved but refused: "Maybe after a while, there has been some unrest around me lately."
Zhu Li blinked and didn't ask what the situation was. She just had to accept her friend's explanation. Thinking of this, Zhu Li smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll talk about it after you finish all the things you have on hand."
She and Xie Jing chatted about music arrangement. "Have you been thinking about writing lyrics lately? Before I started my formal clinic, I could still go out and provide free medical support."
"But since I started seeing patients, I've been very busy every day. I just released a song recently."
Xie Jing smiled and said, "I'm also learning to arrange music. We're good friends. If you're interested, we can collaborate. If you don't have time, I'll work on it on my own."
Zhu Li chuckled: "And then surprise all of us?"
"Not amazing," Xie Jing raised her eyebrows slightly. "I've discovered that I'm talented at writing lyrics, but Professor Niu commented that my arrangements are a bit too artificial."
Zhu Li also said something: "I can see that, but it's not easy to write good lyrics. There is at least a format for arranging music, but writing lyrics depends entirely on cultural background."
Xie Jing shook her head. "I'm not in a hurry anyway. Slow work produces fine results. Even if I'm just a piece of rotten wood, there will always be a time when I can become a master in arranging music."
Xie Jing believes this is because she is too rational, and sometimes arranging music requires a stroke of inspiration. She can tell a story well, but when it comes to arranging music with a fixed format, she can only do it in a standard way.
In fact, sometimes, just being well-behaved is not easy. But Xie Jing has high standards for herself and is unwilling to do things perfunctorily.
A single treatment by Yun Zhao took about two hours, and by the time they left the clinic, it was already four in the afternoon. Winter in S City was still very cold. Xie Jing gathered her scarf closer, and Yun Xu conveniently pulled the hood of her down jacket over her, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Xie Jing looked up at Yun Xu and smiled: "Thank you, Brother Xu."
Yun Xu couldn't help but ruffle Xie Jing's hair. Through the fluffy hat, Xie Jing only felt that Yun Xu's touch on her head was very gentle. Zhou Jiyun also liked to touch her head, just like stroking it.
Yun Xu just smiled and said, "Auntie is also afraid of the cold. I didn't expect you are afraid of the cold too."
Xie Jing followed Yun Xu: "Brother Xu, are you telling me about my mother? I feel a little sorry that she didn't come to S City with me this time."
Yun Zhao explained softly, "They've found you, so naturally they have to inform your relatives and friends. My uncle and aunt wanted to come to S City to accompany you, but they can't keep your identity a secret forever. They have to tell everyone around you that you've returned home."
Xie Jing knew that this was how much Yun Lan and Cheng Shuying valued her. She was just a little worried: "Mom... doesn't look well. I'm worried that I'll tire her out."
Yun Xu comforted her: "My uncle and aunt were worried before. They were always thinking about you. Now that they have found you, the heavy stone in their hearts can finally fall. Don't worry, they will be fine in the future."
Xie Jing nodded: "I hope so. Seeing them like this makes me feel really bad."
Yun Zhao glanced at Xie Jing and said, "Jingjing, you are also a victim. But from what I see, you don't seem to realize that you are also a victim. On the contrary, you are exceptionally strong inside."
"Don't you have any negative emotions about your family losing you?"
Xie Jing thought for a moment and said, "I've always adhered to the principle of not taking my anger out on others. Even after I learned that I wasn't Xie Xuerong and Liu Limin's daughter, I never complained about my biological parents."
"Because I'm an adult now, and I'm doing well on my own, at that time, in my opinion, parents or family relationships weren't that important. Maybe it's a bit cold of me to say that."
"But this is my personality, and I can't change it."
Yun Xu retorted: "How can it be cold? We all think you have a good temper."
Xie Jing smiled, knowing they were using the filter of family. In fact, more than one person had said that Xie Jing's personality was too aloof and difficult to approach.
"Knowing how much my parents have endured over the years, how could I possibly harbor such resentment towards them? That wouldn't be worthy of being called a human being. I just regret not receiving their love, but that doesn't mean they don't love me."
"Knowing that I was loved during the years I was absent, I can't have any negative feelings towards them. Because they undoubtedly had it harder than me."
"Although I've experienced loss, sadness, and so on in the past, at least I'm truly living a good life. Although I was unlucky enough to meet people like Liu Limin and Xie Xuerong, Zhou Jiyun alone can soothe all the resentment I once had."
Yun Xu was choked by the dog food handed to him by his cousin: "Zhou Jiyun is not even here, and you still think so highly of him? If he knew, he would be so happy. I have never seen such a clingy man."
Xie Jing shook her head. "Brother Xu, you don't understand. We have a very deep bond, one that can't be revealed to outsiders. He doesn't cling to anyone else, only to me. I know that to him, I am his whole world."
She and Zhou Jiyun had a connection in their previous life, and this connection was so strong that it made them cherish each other even more.
Yun Zhao was a man of few words, but now he finally spoke: "I know that you and Ji Yun are married through an arranged marriage. At first, I really didn't like him. But after spending a few days together, I find that he is indeed a good person."
Xie Jing agreed with Yun Xu: "Of course, he's a really good person. Even though he wears a mask all the time, it's his way of protecting himself. At least he abides by morals and laws, doesn't break the law, and is very friendly to those around him. That's already very good."
