However, if she continued to pretend now, it would seem a little fake.
Ji Yuanyuan pretended to react, âGrandma, is your surname Cai?â
The old lady got down from Ji Yuanyuanâs back and asked in surprise, âHow do you know my surname is Cai?â
Ji Yuanyuan smiled embarrassedly, âI wonder if you still remember Wu Qiuyun.â
The old lady smiled and said, âI remember. She was an earnest girl. I thought highly of her back then, but unfortunatelyâ¦â
Old Grandma did not say anything else after saying a few words. She asked Ji Yuanyuan, âWhatâs your relationship with her?â
âIâm her graduate student. She recommended me to you.â Ji Yuanyuan replied politely.
The old lady thought for a moment, took out the key from her pocket, and opened the door, âLetâs talk inside.â
After entering the house, Ji Yuanyuan quickly helped the old lady change her shoes and helped her to the sofa.
Soon, an old man came out of the house. When he saw the old lady limping, he immediately came forward worriedly and asked, âWhatâs going on?â
The old manâs eyes were filled with concern as if he did not notice Ji Yuanyuanâs presence.
The old lady shook her head, âIâm fine. I just sprained my ankle. Fortunately, this little girl carried me back.â
The old man then shifted his gaze to Ji Yuanyuan, âThank you so much. Iâm really grateful.â
âWhat a coincidence. Do you know who she is?â The old lady smiled.
Without waiting for the old man to speak, the old lady could not help but reveal Ji Yuanyuanâs identity, âSheâs Wu Qiuyunâs student.â
At this moment, the old man looked at Ji Yuanyuan with a hint of emotion in his eyes.
He looked very surprised and sympathetic, âIt must be hard at school, right? Qiuyun had always been very serious and strict with her students.â
Ji Yuanyuan couldnât help but laugh, âTeacher Wu is a very nice person. Although she has a serious personality, she treats her students very well. She can teach me a lot of things and help me a lot. After interacting with her for a long time, one would realize that she was an adorable person.â
The old man nodded with admiration, âItâs rare for you to see things so clearly at such a young age.â
After saying that, he turned to the old lady and said, âIâll get some ice to apply heat on you.â
After the old man left, the old lady looked at Ji Yuanyuan, âWhy are you looking for me?â
When Ji Yuanyuan heard this, she sat upright, âMy second brother got into a car accident some time ago and injured his leg. The doctor said that he would only be able to walk without a limp, but my second brother is a racer. Since Western medicine is not good enough, I want to try Chinese medicine.â
âYouâre a Western doctor, yet youâre asking for help from a Chinese doctor?â Grandmother Qi laughed.
Ji Yuanyuan smiled awkwardly, âBoth Chinese and Western medicine have their own advantages. Some problems that Western medicine canât solve, Chinese medicine can. On the other hand, some problems that Chinese medicine could not solve might be solved by Western medicine. I think a real doctor doesnât need to emphasize Chinese or Western medicine. Itâs fine as long as it can solve the patientâs problem.â
When Ji Yuanyuan spoke, the old lady listened carefully.
âBy the way, I donât know what you like, so I casually brought some Chinese medicinal herbs over. I hope you can use them.â
She specifically chose some ginseng, milkvetch root, ganoderma, cogongrass root, and other Chinese medicinal herbs from the space.
She specially chose some medium-quality ones.
The main reason was that he was afraid the old lady would not accept him if she brought a gift too good.
Sure enough, the old lady poked her head out and saw that the Chinese medicine was not very expensive. She nodded and said, âThen Iâll accept it.â
After a pause, she said, âBring your second brother over another day.â
Did he agree to help? Ji Yuanyuan was delighted and quickly asked, âWhen is it convenient for you?â
âOther than my granddaughter coming over on Saturday and Sunday, the rest of the time is convenient.â
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the old man brought over ice cubes.
The ice cubes were packed in plastic bags and wrapped in towels.
He sat down on the sofa and placed an ice towel on the old ladyâs ankle.
Ji Yuanyuan was very observant and immediately said, âGrandpa, Grandma, I wonât disturb you anymore. Iâll bring my second brother over another day.â
The old lady smiled and nodded, âThen take care, old man. Go and see him off.â
Ji Yuanyuan waved her hand, âNo need to trouble yourself. I know the way.â
Even so, the old man still sent Ji Yuanyuan to the door.
Ji Yuanyuan was in a good mood when she came out of the neighborhood.
She looked at her watch. It was almost five oâclock.
They were in the suburbs, some time away from the city. Moreover, there was already a traffic jam on the road at this time.
Even if she returned to school, it would be past 5:30.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan did not hesitate and went straight to her parentsâ place.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun were both at home cooking.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Li Xu poked her head out from the kitchen, âWhy are you back?â
âIâm here to talk to Second Brother about something.â Ji Yuanyuan placed her bag at the entrance.â
Li Xu glanced at the bedroom door and whispered to Ji Yuanyuan, âHeâve been cooped up in his room all day. I donât talk or eat much.â
âI know, Iâll try.â Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
Li Xu nodded and muttered, âSince youâre back, I have to make more rice. Otherwise, it wonât be enough.â
With that, she returned to the kitchen.
Ji Yuanyuan quietly went to the bedroom door.
There was no sound inside. It was so quiet that it was as if no one was inside.
Ji Yuanyuan reached out and knocked on the door.
She knocked three times in a row, but there was no sound.
âSecond Brother, itâs me.â Ji Yuanyuan could only say.â
After Ji Yuanyuan spoke, Ji Ziâangâs voice was heard within two seconds, âCome in.â
His voice was a little hoarse.
Ji Yuanyuan gently pushed the door open and saw Ji Ziâang leaning against the headboard.
His eyes were red and dark. He probably didnât sleep much last night.
âSecond Brother, how are you feeling today?â Ji Yuanyuan carefully stepped forward and asked.
âJust like that.â Ji Ziâang said perfunctorily.
âMucheng has a friendâs scenic spot that opened recently. The hotel inside is not bad. There are many small animals. You can see all kinds of small animals through the glass window of the room.â Ji Yuanyuan probed.
Ji Ziâangâs eyes did not even change. He only whispered, âI want to lie down for a while.â
He was chasing Ji Yuanyuan away.
Ji Yuanyuan thought for a while and said, âAfter you go, stay in the hotel room. Someone will send you food. Itâs better than you staying at home and staring at our parents, right?â
As expected, after Ji Yuanyuan said this, Ji Ziâangâs gaze finally changed.
He looked at Ji Yuanyuan and nodded after a moment, âAlright.â
Ji Yuanyuan was happy in her heart, but she did not show it on the surface, âThe environment there is not bad. You can stay there for a while. If you feel comfortable, you can continue to stay..â
