Love Healing Manual

Chapter 37 Jade Pendant
Not a moment later.

The bathroom glass was so blurry that you couldn't see anything, and even the plastic door handle was covered in water droplets.

A stream of water flowed smoothly down her rounded shoulders and collarbone, down her body, and finally onto the ground.

The girl's long, black hair was loosely tied back, with strands at her temples damp with moisture and clinging to her ears.

After a while.

The "splashing" sound of water stopped.

Ayane Kitagawa, wrapped in a bath towel, stepped out of the shower and let out a long sigh of relief.

After a long day of work, she was covered in sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable. She only felt much better after taking a shower.

The one-bedroom apartment was quiet and peaceful; not even the lights were on.

Kitagawa Ayane instinctively wanted to walk to the other side of the bed, sit on the edge, and look at the Tokyo night view outside the bay window, but she soon found that the entire bed was covered by the bed curtains. If she wanted to enjoy the view outside as before, she could only lift one side of the curtains.

She thought about it for a moment, but ultimately didn't do it.

Instead, he moved a small stool over, sat down, rested his elbows on his knees, and propped his chin up with his hand.

The tall buildings outside were illuminated by bright lights.

Watched for a while.

Time to write in my diary.

she thinks.

So Kitagawa Ayane returned to her small desk, took out the notebook from her bag (of course, the one that wasn't forged), and along with the pen, sat down leisurely on the bench to start writing.

Beneath the notebook were her long legs, which were pressed together.

She felt uncomfortable after writing just one number in a crooked and messy way.

She pulled her chair forward, positioning herself near the bay window, so that even without the lights on, outside light shone in, casting a faint bluish-white glow on her laptop.

"Today is October 3rd, Sunday..."

Kitagawa Ayane meticulously described the chaotic thoughts that had been running through her mind all day.

When the first character can be dropped.

Loneliness has seeped in from the surrounding walls.

……

"Lin Ze, what are you standing there for? Come here quickly."

The second floor of Lin's Fried Pork Chop Shop.

In the bright living room.

Seeing Lin Ze standing there in a daze and not coming over for a long time, Lin Yuning peeked out from the bedroom and waved to him in the warm light. She had already taken the clothes out and was holding a white shirt in her hand.

He snapped out of his daze from the system notification, before he could even fully grasp the precise meaning of "behavior accompanies one throughout life," and then he was pulled away from the system.

"I'm here," Lin Ze replied.

He entered the master bedroom and stood in front of the full-length mirror.

"I bought this shirt at the supermarket, the same store I took you to before. Their fabric is good. The one I bought for you last time last time lasted two years and it's still intact, right? I've washed it so many times."

"Didn't they all end up being packed up and sent back to their hometown via international express delivery?"

"You can't fit into them again," Lin Yuning slapped his shoulder and scolded, "Are you going to keep them as rags? You've grown taller and taller these past few years, aren't you going to wear out your clothes?"

"Sending international express is already much more expensive than the used clothes themselves, isn't it?"

“It’s not that exaggerated. I’m telling you, kid, don’t forget your hometown after ten years in Japan. Your grandparents should donate all those clothes to impoverished areas,” Lin Yuning said calmly. “We’ve come out here, but we can’t forget our roots.”

Lin Ze's grandfather was a veteran and his grandmother was a teacher. The family had a very upright family tradition and raised four children. Lin Yuning, Lin Ze's aunt, was the youngest of them.

According to her, she only lived in a remote mountainous area when she was very young. Later, as China's economy developed, Lin Ze's grandfather was discharged from the army and returned to the mountain village. Not long after, he moved to the city with his whole family.

So she didn't suffer much hardship, but her older brothers and sisters all grew up in the mountains.

Whenever there are major events in the country, such as the year of the flood relief efforts, Lin Ze's grandfather volunteered without hesitation. His grandmother was reluctant at the time and was scolded by her grandfather for not understanding that "only with a country can there be a home." It was under the influence of such a family atmosphere that none of the four children went astray. Even the youngest, Lin Yuning, knew to teach Lin Ze not to forget his roots.

"I understand." He nodded.

"You brat, how can you try it on without taking off your clothes? Stop dawdling, can't you hurry up?" Lin Yuning scolded.

Say it.

Helpless, he took off his T-shirt, revealing his well-proportioned and muscular physique. Lin Yuning then took his clothes and threw them in the washing machine.

Although Lin Ze is not the particularly muscular type, he has been training for many years and can be considered muscular when shirtless. He is far from being thin and has a good amount of chest and abdominal muscles.

After taking off the top.

The delicate white jade pendant on his chest swayed in mid-air for a moment before falling back down.

Under the light.

The jade pendant had a lustrous sheen like mutton fat.

Lin Yuning's gaze lingered on the object, staring at it for a moment, lost in thought.

A moment of silence.

"Aunt?" Lin Ze called out softly, took the clothes from her hands, and put the shirt on.

She woke up.

"Looks good, the size is just right this time."

Lin Yuning walked around to Lin Ze and began to button his shirt one button at a time.

"He's grown into a big boy in the blink of an eye, and he's so much taller than his aunt now." She said with some emotion.

She hadn't felt anything particularly strongly about it before; she had always treated Lin Ze like a child, after all, she was the one who raised him.

But even today, I bumped into him on the street.

Lin Yuning witnessed Lin Ze with another girl. The two walked together and ate together, looking like they had just started dating.

She suddenly realized that Lin Ze had actually grown up. He would gradually find someone he liked, complete his studies, and then start a family, get a car and a house. When that time came, it would be time for her, his aunt, to step down from the stage of Lin Ze's life.

Life is always like this: as the years go by, some people accompany others on very important journeys in life, and then a new generation comes and goes.

Before, whenever she looked at Lin Ze, she would always think, "Grow up quickly, hurry up and grow up a bit more, quickly transform from a child into a grown man. Then she would be much more relaxed, no longer having to bear the responsibility of a guardian, and could do whatever she wanted, travel all over the world, and live a carefree and happy life."

But what happens after the initial pleasure?

Eventually, she will return to her home alone, cook a meal, eat, watch a TV show, and then feel sleepy soon after dark. She will yawn and fall asleep, and then do her morning exercises the next day. This will continue day after day, year after year, until she grows old.

Lin Ze's home is not her home; he will have his own home, a home that truly belongs to him.

"How could it be so fast?" she whispered.

Even though his shoulders and face were still so youthful a few years ago, when she sent him to university, Lin Yuning called back to her hometown and kept bragging, saying that Lin Ze's admission to the University of Tokyo was largely thanks to her.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ze straightened his collar. He didn't see the emotions in Lin Yuning's eyes, nor did he know that she had seen and misunderstood what happened with Beichuan. Instead, his mind was entirely focused on the system's mission.

It seems I was on the right track.

As a patient, the senior student's life was indeed quite pitiful. Not only did she lack basic nutritional support, but her residence was also just a corner of a remote old community.

no matter what.

Having a healthy body is the greatest asset in fighting off diseases.

It's no wonder you're not healthy if you eat things that have no nutritional value all day.

But the most crucial issue is...

She's hypocritical; even if you feed her, she won't accept it easily and will instead spout the ridiculous theory of "not accepting food offered with contempt."

Lin Ze wondered if he had been too mild-mannered as a doctor lately.
