Since their grandfather interrupted, Bai Weiyang wasn’t able to extract information. She couldn’t guess where Xie Luan and Bai Changle went.
The matter couldn’t be pursued anymore.
Of course, Gu Yan wasn’t aware of these changes. After the recent events, she almost spent half of her savings to purchase more herbs.
Each ti she visited the store to buy so, she also encountered Chen Yuan. He appeared much skinnier than before. Even his face was drained of color. His gait was unsteady.
When he saw Gu Yan, he gave her a feeble smile. “Comrade Gu Yan, long ti no see.”
“It has only been a few months.” Gu Yan studied him further and asked worriedly, “Is it true? Did you really resign?”
“Mhm, I have no other choice. My health is deteriorating at a rapid rate.” Chen Yuan’s smile was extrely bitter.
He had to leave the place he liked the most.
Even though he had just found soone he liked...
But now, he didn’t even have enough ti to confess.
Perhaps, he wouldn’t be able to say anything in the future as well.
At the mont, all he could do was count his remaining days.
Life was cruel and unbearable...
In Gu Yan’s previous life, she once walked past this pharmacy. However, she didn’t et Chen Yuan. She had never heard of him as well.
That was probably because... Chen Yuan wasn’t alive by then.
Gu Yan clutched the pack of herbs and asked, “Do you have so ti? How about chatting for a bit?”
She really wanted to look for an opportunity to diagnose his condition!
Chen Yuan paused. His heart throbbed with even more bitterness.
If he was only healthy...
If Gu Yan wasn’t with Lu Ye yet...
But then again, there was no point in dwelling on such ‘what-ifs’.
He bowed his head. “How about... Never mind.”
“Don’t.” Gu Yan looked around. There were a lot of people inside the pharmacy. She actually couldn’t help him right now.
Gu Yan did an inconspicuous test. Since the silver light didn’t consu energy, she didn’t need to increase the supply of herbs for the jade pendant in order to get a diagnosis.
Gu Yan firmly faced him. “You are the first friend I t in the capital. I will be spending most of the ti in the special training division from now on. I have to return soon to prepare for my exam. Maybe I won’t be able to see you in the future. Let’s just talk for so ti. I will leave soon.”
Chen Yuan knew he should reject her offer, but seeing her sincere and determined eyes made him loosen up.
He finally relented. “Alright, let’s go to the eting room at the back. There is warm tea there.”
“Sure.”
Chen Yuan felt both a little nervous and thrilled.
He sat opposite Gu Yan. When he poured her tea, his hands were a bit shaky.
Gu Yan was oblivious to it. She needed physical contact to make the diagnosis. After racking her brain, she soon figured out how to approach him.
When Chen Yuan had finished pouring the tea, she grabbed his left hand and said, “I have learned so Chinese dicine. Let test your pulse.”
Even Chen Yuan had studied a bit of Chinese dicine as well. He attempted to figure out his condition with it, but to no avail. At best, he could only tell his pulse was extrely weak.
Even so, Chen Yuan didn’t withdraw his hand. He just let her little warm hand touch his wrist.
