Chapter 165: Unceasing Friendship
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lin Bai could not help but feel a pang of heartache when he saw Yu Jinmo’s dejected and self-reproachful look.
He pulled Yu Jinmo into his embrace and comforted her gently, “Little fool, don’t blame yourself. Jiang Yu has been getting along with her boyfriend day and night, yet she couldn’t tell that he was a scum. How could you possibly have predicted it?”
“Moreover, that scumbag is so good at disguising himself. Even if you kept in touch with Jiang Yu all this time, all you would hear would only be praises about him. It’s even more impossible to persuade them to break up. So these assumptions are not valid at all. Don’t put the blame on yourself.”
Yu Jinmo nodded and said in a muffled voice, “Yes, you’re right. Even if I had known earlier, nothing would have changed.”
She was still in low spirits.
Lin Bai comforted her, “Since things have already happened, let’s not think about those hypothetical questions anymore.”
“The most important thing now is to take good care of Jiang Yu and try to minimize the damage to her body.”
Yu Jinmo said, “I plan to ask the teacher for a few days off tomorrow and spend some time with Jiang Yu.”
“She’s been through such a huge shock. I’m afraid that she won’t be able to take it easy. I can’t feel at ease if I’m not by her side.”
After all, they had been friends since they were young. When they were busy with their own things, they might not meet each other often. However, if something really happened, they couldn’t just sit by and do nothing.
Lin Bai could understand Yu Jinmo’s feelings very well.
If it was his good brother who was severely injured, he wouldn’t be able to ignore it.
“I will accompany you to take care of her,” Lin Bai said.
However, Yu Jinmo said, “I can handle it on my own. You should attend class. There’s no need for you to miss class with me.”
Actually, Yu Jinmo had another concern. After all, Jiang Yu’s illness was not ordinary. She wanted to abort the child.
Under such circumstances, having an unfamiliar member of the opposite sex guarding her would only make her feel even more miserable.
Although she didn’t say it out loud, Lin Bai had already guessed it.
Lin Bai said, “I haven’t had much class recently, so I have plenty of time.”
“Also, I’m afraid that Jiang Yu’s child can’t be aborted for now. I didn’t mention it when she was awake just now because I was afraid of provoking her.”
Yu Jinmo quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Why can’t she get an abortion? Didn’t you say that she could abort it?”
Previously, Lin Bai thought that she was pregnant with a normal child, so of course she could have an abortion.
However, the problem now was that the thing in her stomach wasn’t an embryo at all.
It wasn’t even a human embryo, so those normal abortion methods naturally couldn’t solve the problem.
However, Lin Bai couldn’t tell Yu Jinmo these things.
He could only make up a lie at the last minute.
“When I gave her acupuncture just now, I realized that her body was much worse than I expected.”
“Her Qi and blood are seriously deficient now. If she were to have an abortion, it would probably cause permanent damage. It would be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future.”
Yu Jinmo asked worriedly, “Then what should we do?”
Lin Bai said, “We can only recuperate first. When her body is better, the consequences might not be so serious.”
Yu Jinmo asked, “Then how long will it take to recuperate?”
“If it takes too long, I won’t be able to hide it.”
Jiang Yu was a girl after all. Her reputation was still very important.
If news of her pregnancy and abortion were to spread, it would have a huge impact on her.
Lin Bai understood Yu Jinmo’s concerns and comforted her.
“Don’t worry. It won’t take too long. The teachers and students won’t find out.”
Lin Bai had a strong feeling that Wang Chenyu would appear again soon and try to cause more damage.
This was Lin Bai’s intuition.
Up until now, his intuition had never been wrong.
Yu Jinmo had always trusted Lin Bai. When she heard him say that it wouldn’t take too long, she was completely relieved.
“It’s good that they won’t find out. Oh right, how should I regulate it? Can you buy ready-made Chinese medicine? Or do you have to buy your own medicine to boil it? I’ve never stewed medicine before.”
Yu Jinmo was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to take good care of Jiang Yu and couldn’t heal her body as soon as possible.
Lin Bai said, “It’s not that complicated. It’s just some medicinal cuisine. Just follow the recipe.”
Yu Jinmo said, “Then tell me the recipe. I’ll make it for her.”
Lin Bai was a little surprised. “You know how to cook?”
Yu Jinmo replied, “A little. It’s not very good, but it’s barely edible.”
Lin Bai smiled. “If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll have to try your cooking.”
Yu Jinmo’s mind was now on Jiang Yu, so when he heard this, he only nodded slightly.
“Okay. Tell me the formula first.”
Lin Bai knew that she wasn’t in the mood to talk about anything else, so he picked out a few simple nourishing formulas and taught them to her.
Yu Jinmo listened very seriously and even recorded everything Lin Bai said on his phone, so that he wouldn’t forget about it later.
She also asked very carefully about the proportion of the various ingredients and the control of the temperature, afraid that any mistakes would affect the medicinal properties.
Lin Bai smiled and said, “Little fool, there’s no need to be so strict. It doesn’t matter if there’s a slight difference. It won’t result in a loss of medicinal properties.”
However, Yu Jinmo said, “Even if it doesn’t lose its medicinal properties, the medicine must be prepared according to the right proportion and temperature of the formula to achieve the best effect.”
“This is related to Jiang Yu’s body after all. I still want to do it as well as possible.”
Lin Bai looked at the way she was taking notes seriously and couldn’t help but feel that this was a girl who valued relationships.
Her intentions and care were all in reality, in every tiny detail.
Not only for her friends, but also for her lover.
She rarely said “I love you” directly, but she would remember all of Lin Bai’s preferences and many small habits that Lin Bai himself didn’t realize.
Then, for every moment that they spent together, she would take care of those preferences and habits meticulously.
Just like the continuous spring rain, it was delicate and silent, yet just right.
Lin Bai could not help but hug her even tighter. He sniffed the fragrance in her hair and felt the warmth coming from her body through the clothes.
Time was quiet, and happiness was silent.
He thought that what he was hugging right now was the true gift of fate.
All the wealth and superpowers couldn’t compare to her.
“I will protect you and everything you care about.”
Lin Bai promised softly beside her ear.
Yu Jinmo nodded slightly. Her originally anxious and worried heart suddenly calmed down at this moment.
Lin Bai was here.
Everything would be resolved.
Yu Jinmo slowly relaxed. Feeling the peace of mind at this moment, she couldn’t help but sigh softly, “Lin Bai, it’s good to have you.”
Lin Bai said, “I should be the one to say that.”
“Every day I’m with you, I feel so lucky to have you.”
Lin Bai had made countless decisions in his life.
Pursuing Yu Jinmo was the most important and correct one.
