I, The Female Protagonist With Superpower, Am Super Fierce

Chapter 231: Chen Yuan’s Bitterness

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 time she visited the store to buy some, 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 time 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 extremely bitter.

He had to leave the place he liked the most.

Even though he had just found someone he liked...

But now, he didn’t even have enough time to confess.

Perhaps, he wouldn’t be able to say anything in the future as well.

At the moment, 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 meet 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 some time? 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 consume 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 met in the capital. I will be spending most of the time 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 some time. 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 meeting 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 some Chinese medicine. Let me test your pulse.”

Even Chen Yuan had studied a bit of Chinese medicine as well. He attempted to figure out his condition with it, but to no avail. At best, he could only tell his pulse was extremely weak.

Even so, Chen Yuan didn’t withdraw his hand. He just let her little warm hand touch his wrist.
