However, if she continued to pretend now, it would seem a little fake.
Ji Yuanyuan pretended to react, “Grandma, is your surname Cai?”
The old lady got down from Ji Yuanyuan’s back and asked in surprise, “How do you know my surname is Cai?”
Ji Yuanyuan smiled embarrassedly, “I wonder if you still remember Wu Qiuyun.”
The old lady smiled and said, “I remember. She was an earnest girl. I thought highly of her back then, but unfortunately…”
Old Grandma did not say anything else after saying a few words. She asked Ji Yuanyuan, “What’s your relationship with her?”
“I’m her graduate student. She recommended me to you.” Ji Yuanyuan replied politely.
The old lady thought for a moment, took out the key from her pocket, and opened the door, “Let’s talk inside.”

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, “What’s going on?”
The old man’s eyes were filled with concern as if he did not notice Ji Yuanyuan’s presence.
The old lady shook her head, “I’m fine. I just sprained my ankle. Fortunately, this little girl carried me back.”
The old man then shifted his gaze to Ji Yuanyuan, “Thank you so much. I’m really grateful.”
“What a coincidence. Do you know who she is?” The old lady smiled.
Without waiting for the old man to speak, the old lady could not help but reveal Ji Yuanyuan’s identity, “She’s Wu Qiuyun’s student.”
At this moment, the old man looked at Ji Yuanyuan with a hint of emotion in his eyes.
He looked very surprised and sympathetic, “It must be hard at school, right? Qiuyun had always been very serious and strict with her students.”
Ji Yuanyuan couldn’t help but laugh, “Teacher 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.”
The old man nodded with admiration, “It’s rare for you to see things so clearly at such a young age.”
After saying that, he turned to the old lady and said, “I’ll get some ice to apply heat on you.”
After the old man left, the old lady looked at Ji Yuanyuan, “Why are you looking for me?”
When Ji Yuanyuan heard this, she sat upright, “My 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.”
“You’re a Western doctor, yet you’re asking for help from a Chinese doctor?” Grandmother Qi laughed.
Ji Yuanyuan smiled awkwardly, “Both Chinese and Western medicine have their own advantages. Some problems that Western medicine can’t 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 doesn’t need to emphasize Chinese or Western medicine. It’s fine as long as it can solve the patient’s problem.”
When Ji Yuanyuan spoke, the old lady listened carefully.
“By the way, I don’t know what you like, so I casually brought some Chinese medicinal herbs over. I hope you can use them.”
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, “Then I’ll accept it.”
After a pause, she said, “Bring your second brother over another day.”
Did he agree to help? Ji Yuanyuan was delighted and quickly asked, “When is it convenient for you?”
“Other than my granddaughter coming over on Saturday and Sunday, the rest of the time is convenient.”
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 lady’s ankle.
Ji Yuanyuan was very observant and immediately said, “Grandpa, Grandma, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll bring my second brother over another day.”
The old lady smiled and nodded, “Then take care, old man. Go and see him off.”
Ji Yuanyuan waved her hand, “No need to trouble yourself. I know the way.”
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 o’clock.
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 parents’ 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, “Why are you back?”
“I’m here to talk to Second Brother about something.” Ji Yuanyuan placed her bag at the entrance.”
Li Xu glanced at the bedroom door and whispered to Ji Yuanyuan, “He’ve been cooped up in his room all day. I don’t talk or eat much.”
“I know, I’ll try.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
Li Xu nodded and muttered, “Since you’re back, I have to make more rice. Otherwise, it won’t be enough.”
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.
“Second Brother, it’s me.” Ji Yuanyuan could only say.”
After Ji Yuanyuan spoke, Ji Zi’ang’s voice was heard within two seconds, “Come in.”
His voice was a little hoarse.
Ji Yuanyuan gently pushed the door open and saw Ji Zi’ang leaning against the headboard.
His eyes were red and dark. He probably didn’t sleep much last night.
“Second Brother, how are you feeling today?” Ji Yuanyuan carefully stepped forward and asked.
“Just like that.” Ji Zi’ang said perfunctorily.
“Mucheng has a friend’s 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.” Ji Yuanyuan probed.
Ji Zi’ang’s eyes did not even change. He only whispered, “I want to lie down for a while.”
He was chasing Ji Yuanyuan away.
Ji Yuanyuan thought for a while and said, “After you go, stay in the hotel room. Someone will send you food. It’s better than you staying at home and staring at our parents, right?”
As expected, after Ji Yuanyuan said this, Ji Zi’ang’s gaze finally changed.
He looked at Ji Yuanyuan and nodded after a moment, “Alright.”
Ji Yuanyuan was happy in her heart, but she did not show it on the surface, “The environment there is not bad. You can stay there for a while. If you feel comfortable, you can continue to stay..”
