"Beicheng, I’ve thought it over, next sester I want to change my major." Suddenly, the girl turned her head to et the man’s gaze.
"What major?" Gu Beicheng asked softly.
"dicine." Xia Yinian nodded in response, "Since I have a talent for alchemy, I’m also willing to develop in the dical field."
"If I were a doctor, I could not only create good dicine but also treat patients."
Xia Yinian smiled warmly, her gaze once again directed into the distance.
The little girl’s smile, pure, lively, and earnest, drew not only Gu Beicheng’s attention but even Feng Yan, who just walked out, couldn’t help but take an extra glance.
Gu Beicheng stared at the girl beside him without saying more.
The Old Master’s examination lasted about half an hour as several doctors walked out together.
"How’s Grandpa’s condition?" Feng Yan turned back to look at the people erging.
"The Old Master’s bodily functions are slowly recovering, but it may take a long ti. It’s best if you prepare yourselves ntally."
The doctor at the front looked at Feng Yan with respect.
"By the way, he’s very tired now, but seems to be waiting for sothing, unwilling to fall into a deep sleep."
"After just undergoing treatnt, you’d best go in and reassure him to rest well. Other matters, I’ll sort out and discuss with the Third Young Master."
When the doctor said "you," his gaze was directed at Xia Yinian.
Everyone was aware of how excited the Old Master beca upon seeing this girl.
After Miss Niannian left, the Old Master’s eyelids beca heavy, completely lifeless.
"I’ll go check on Grandpa." Ignoring everyone, Xia Yinian stepped inside.
The person on the bed had his eyes closed, but his eyeballs were still moving beneath the lids.
Does Grandpa have sothing important to say, refusing to sleep?
Yet now he can’t speak, looking at his anxious but silent deanor made Xia Yinian feel waves of discomfort.
"Grandpa." Xia Yinian called softly, kneeling half down again to hold the old man’s hand.
She noticed that once she held Grandpa’s hand, his eyeball movent ceased.
"Grandpa, it’s Nian Nian, I’ve returned." The girl smiled, hoping to ease the old man’s heart.
The old man slightly opened his eyes, struggling to see the outline of a girl.
He once again tried to speak, but lacked the strength to move his lips.
Xia Yinian knew he was trying hard, but she didn’t need him to strain so much right now.
Grandpa’s strength was very weak. If he used it all at once, when would be the next ti he could wake up?
"Grandpa, the doctor said you’re tired, rest well, Nian Nian will stay here with you, okay?" Xia Yinian said softly.
The Old Master blinked once more, finally closing his eyes.
Soon, he fell into a quiet sleep.
Once his breathing beca steady, Xia Yinian also breathed a sigh of relief.
Was Grandpa really waiting for her, unwilling to sleep?
Why does she feel that Grandpa’s gaze this ti was different?
He always liked her, even spoiled her.
But his gaze just now was not like before; what changed? Xia Yinian couldn’t explain.
Perhaps, besides Gu Beicheng unknowingly appearing behind Xia Yinian, no one else could explain the Old Master’s change.
Gu Beicheng furrowed his brows as a thought flashed through his mind.
Did Grandpa Feng already know about Nian Nian’s lineage?
