CHAPTER 1092: CHAPTER 223: DEFEATED GENERAL ESCAPES CALAMITY (PART 2)

Yan Xing glared fiercely at Ji Yunya: "It’s all your fault." With that, she dashed away.

"Xingxing..." Yan Hua shook her head helplessly, "Xingxing’s been spoiled by my mom, don’t take it to heart."

Yun Ya smiled and said, "Why would I take issue with a child? But you do need to treat that wound quickly. Do you have any medicine? Let me bandage it for you."

"Just because you’re good-tempered doesn’t mean you’re easy to bully. I’ll definitely teach that girl a good lesson later; she’s getting more and more unreasonable."

Yun Ya smiled without commenting. That girl was spoiled into an idiot by the first lady, quite unlike coming from the same womb as Yan Hua.

"Come on, let’s go to the East Pavilion first. It’s not too late to go to the main hall later."

Yan Hua led her to the East Pavilion, found the medical kit, and was originally planning to find someone to help her bandage it. She didn’t expect Ji Yunya, a wealthy heiress, to know how to do such work. Yun Ya took the kit and pressed Yan Hua down on a chair, "Let me do it."

Yan Hua watched as Yun Ya opened the kit, skillfully found the supplies, and began debriding the wound. Her movements were graceful and adept, her expression unusually focused, calm, and gentle. Gradually, Yan Hua was entranced.

"All done." Yun Ya looked at the bandaged palm, the gauze neatly wrapped without appearing bulky, highlighting the frail beauty of the delicate hand.

Yan Hua looked at her in disbelief: "I didn’t expect you to be so good even at bandaging. How can you be so good at everything?"

Yun Ya smiled; it was no big deal to her.

"Yun Ya, I’m truly growing fonder of you." This was the most genuine feeling in Yan Hua’s heart at that moment. This girl was beautiful and gentle, with a mild temperament, neither arrogant nor humbling, quite different from those high-brow socialites.

"Your compliments are too vague; can’t you show it in a more tangible way?" Yun Ya raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Then what do you want? If I have it, I’ll give it to you."

Yun Ya suddenly reached out her hand: "I want... you."

"Hahaha, tickles..." Yan Hua laughed and moved aside, laughing so much she was almost out of breath, then suddenly bent over to cough, her face turning red from it.

Yun Ya frowned, "What’s wrong?"

Yan Hua wiped her mouth with a handkerchief: "Nothing..."

Yun Ya suddenly took hold of her wrist and checked her pulse. Yan Hua looked at her in surprise, "You can practice medicine?"

Yun Ya frowned without speaking, making Yan Hua not dare to ask further.

"This is a condition you’ve had since birth and needs good care. In this icy weather, you’ve caught a cold, it’s practically suicidal," Yun Ya said with some severity, Yan Hua’s fragile health indeed exceeding her expectations.

Congenital deficiency can’t be cured; whatever you get from your parents, that’s it. With Yan Hua’s health condition, she must have endured much suffering in her youth. Without proper care, she might have a short lifespan...

Yan Hua gave a bitter smile, looking up at Yun Ya, "I didn’t expect you to know medicine."

"I just know a little," Yun Ya lightly withdrew her hand.

"Keep warm, don’t catch a chill, take more walks when you can, eat lightly, refrain from unnecessary thoughts, and you should live to seventy or eighty."

Yan Hua felt a warmth in her heart and smiled, "I’ll listen to you."

Seeing her staring at herself, Yun Ya couldn’t help but touch her own face, "What’s wrong?"

"You keep surprising me." Yan Hua smiled, "You seem to know everything. I truly envy you for achieving so many things I can’t."

She looked at Yun Ya with deep longing in her eyes.

Yun Ya didn’t like her talking in such an old-fashioned way at such a young age, "Don’t worry, life’s long. There’s always time to do what you want, as long as you have courage."

"Courage?" Yan Hua looked at her blankly, "What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done in your life?"

Yun Ya’s eyes slightly curved, her gaze bright as stars, "Loving someone without holding back."

Loving someone without holding back... Yan Hua silently mouthed, her gaze growing a bit dazed.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this. Let’s go."

Yan Hua looked up, watching Yun Ya’s back with envy. She could never be as carefree as her, not in this lifetime.

Thinking this, she stepped forward to follow.

As they passed an artificial lake, its surface was frozen, the ice layer glistening like glass under the sunlight.

Yun Ya noticed a two-story building quietly situated on the other side of the lake, quaint and pleasant, and couldn’t help but take a second glance.

Yan Hua followed her gaze and smiled, "That’s the West Warm Pavilion, built by my second granduncle especially for his wife. It was originally named Ziling Pavilion, after her name. My second granduncle and grandaunt were deeply in love, but later..."
