Yan Xiluo, carrying a bouquet of lilies, went to the opposite ward and knocked gently a few times.
"Teacher Yingxi? Please come in quickly."
The person who opened the door was Sister Xiong. As Jiang Xuening's agent, she naturally knew Yan Xiluo.
Previously, everyone on the set respectfully called Yan Xiluo Teacher Yingxi.
Despite her young age, Yan Xiluo had already achieved great success in the dance world and was very famous.
Everyone admires and respects her. It took a long time for the director to persuade her to become a dance instructor, and even after she was persuaded by her mentor, Yan Xiluo, she finally agreed.
The director even wanted Yan Xiluo to act in a movie, offering her a script as the female lead, but Yan Xiluo immediately refused. She added that she wouldn't even be a dance instructor anymore, which finally made the director give up the idea.
"Mmm, Sister Bear."
Yan Xiluo also respectfully addressed her as Sister Xiong, after all, she was much older than her, and it was necessary to be polite.
"Sister Ningning, I'm here! I brought you some fragrant lilies!"
Knowing that she liked the smell, she handed the flowers to Jiang Xuening first so that she could smell them to her heart's content.
"Thank you, Luo Luo."
Jiang Xuening happily accepted the bouquet, lowered her head to smell the fragrance of the lilies, and it brought back a series of memories...

"Aze, I don't like roses. Can you give me lilies next time?"
Jiang Xuening pouted, looking a little unhappy, and gazed at Yan Yuze with expectant eyes.
"Great! So my Ningning likes lilies? I'll give you lilies from now on, okay?"
Yan Yuze gently placed the bouquet of roses on the seat beside him and put a necklace on Jiang Xuening.
That was a unique necklace that he specially commissioned to be made for her. In the center was a piece of Hetian jade called "Lu Lu Tong" (a type of jade pendant), which was made from the finest materials.
"Great! Great! We'll plant lots of lilies in our garden after we get married!"
She danced with joy, then picked up the necklace that Yan Yuze had put on her.
"This 'Lulu Tong' jade is really special! The raw material for this mutton fat jade must be very expensive, right?"
The lulutong (a type of chrysanthemum) on her neck was translucent and pure, like solidified cream; it was clearly a top-quality material and quite valuable.
"It's not about the price, it's about the value of giving it to you!"
In her memory, Yan Yuze was a sunny, cheerful young man. Although she was the one who pursued him at first, Yan Yuze later became more attentive to her...
Jiang Xuening subconsciously touched her neck; it was empty. She hadn't worn it in a long time; she hadn't worn it even once since she entered the industry.

"Sister Ningning, how's your injury? This cast..."
Could she have broken a bone? She must be so sad. She won't be able to dance properly anymore... at least not the difficult dance moves...
She paused, not continuing, feeling somewhat distressed, knowing what it meant to no longer be able to dance.
Before entering the entertainment industry, Jiang Xuening was an undergraduate student majoring in classical dance at the Dance Academy in City A. Her dream was to become the principal dancer of a song and dance theater...
"It's nothing, just a fracture. The doctor said it will recover in three to six months."
Whether she can dance or not is no longer up to her; she knows what Yan Xiluo is worried about.
But tears welled up in her eyes; she couldn't hold onto any of them—love, career, or her dream of dancing.
"After the cast is removed, I'll help you recover gradually, at least to ensure it doesn't affect simple movements later on. With gradual exercise, you might even recover better..."
She dared not make any guarantees, not even the renowned physician Yin Xin, since this was not her area of expertise, and this was the first time she had ever dealt with fractures.
She could only consult more materials, study the plan with her mentor, and learn from experienced seniors.
"Luo Luo also knows medicine?"
Jiang Xuening was surprised and found it unbelievable.
"I know a little bit about it, I learned it from my master. But I have no experience with fractures before, this is not my area of expertise, I need to go back and learn from my master and senior brothers and sisters."
Yan Xi spoke the truth, and that was indeed the case; she did not exaggerate.
"Luo Luo, thank you so much. I never expected you to do all this for me."
She knew Yan Xiluo was extremely busy as a prominent figure in the dance world, but she was deeply moved that she would still take the time to research a treatment plan for her...
Tears welled up uncontrollably and streamed down her face...
"Sister Ningning, I consider you a friend, and you consider me a friend too. It's mutual. Why should we say thank you to each other? You've been just as good to me as I have to you!"
On set, Jiang Xuening shared everything with Yan Xiluo – good food, good drinks, good fun, good stuff – and they often lay in bed together, talking all night long.
"Uh-huh!"
Jiang Xuening nodded excitedly. At this moment, her heart was warmed a lot, and she forgot a small part of the pain from today. At least for now, she was not thinking about Yan Yuze.
The other end
The four of them remained silent in the hospital room. Yan Yuze held his phone, seemingly lost in thought.
Su Ruien created a new small group and added Li Shaochuan and Lan Jingyan to it.
Su Ruien: "Luo Luo is actually friends with that person?"
Lan Jingyan: "So, the person living across the street really is her? You didn't let Aze know, did you?"
Li Shaochuan: "Yeah, he doesn't know yet."
Su Ruien: "I saw it when I came back from buying fruit today; her door wasn't closed properly. What should we do about this?"
Li Shaochuan: "Right now, Aze's body can't withstand any more strain, so we can only take it one step at a time."
Lan Jingyan: "I was worried that Luo Luo would find out, and wouldn't that make things very awkward for her, caught in the middle?"
Su Ruien: "If all else fails, we can just tell Aze and Luo Luo."
Lan Jingyan/Li Shaochuan: "No way!"
Su Ruien: "..."
Li Shaochuan: "At least not now, his body is still very weak. Even if we find out later, his health will be better."
Lan Jingyan: "Did you remove the trending topic? Did Aze see it?"
Li Shaochuan: "I was too busy getting angry to make a move, and now it's probably too late..."
Su Ruien: "Then I'll take care of it."
Li Shaochuan: "Whatever Aze ultimately chooses, we, as his brothers, can only support him. But now, he can't afford to get hurt again..."
Lan Jingyan: "Unless she has some reason that forces Aze to accept her, I will maintain my current stance."
Su Ruien: "Agreed!"
Li Shaochuan: "Yes, I think so too."
The three of them kept ringing their phones as if Yan Yuze didn't exist.
"Hey, you three, what are you up to? Are you secretly saying bad things about me without me knowing?"
Yan Yuze was inexplicably annoyed by these ringtones; the constant tinkling was distracting him from his thoughts!
"No, how could that be!"
Su Ruien chuckled and turned off the sound.
"You overestimate yourself."
Lan Jingyan still loves to tease him as before; this is how he should behave.
Li Shaochuan didn't speak, but instead lay half-paralyzed on the sofa.
