She shouldn't have bothered. What did it matter if he was uncomfortable or not! Ji Xingmi gave the young man sitting opposite her a glare and continued to drink her water.
Old Master Bi found his granddaughter's predicament rather amusing. Old Ye, who had been feeling concerned for his grandson, also chuckled upon witnessing the interaction between the two children.
Ye Yu, unaware that he had said something wrong and offended the young lady opposite him, was curious why she hadn't responded.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Ji Xingmi wanted to ignore him and pretended not to hear, but he wouldn't stop asking! Fortunately, Ji Xingmi directly changed the subject and inquired about his health.
"Is your body just generally weak, or are there times when you feel uncomfortable?"
"When I was little, I just felt I lacked strength, often lacking energy and prone to falling asleep! I went to the hospital, and they only said it was due to my premature birth. Later, I don't know when it started, my body gained some strength, but I would feel aches all over, though I couldn't pinpoint exactly where the pain was."
"What about now?"
"There are a few days each month when I ache, with no discernible pattern. My energy levels fluctuate too. Like today, I'm considered quite energetic. Sometimes I sleep the whole day, and sometimes I just inexplicably lose energy and fall asleep."
After hearing his words, Ji Xingmi fell into thought. If the previous weakness was caused by toxins from the womb, what about the later pain? Was it caused by the poison used by the person who poisoned him? The new poison disrupted the balance of the existing toxins in his body, leading to physical reactions. Until now, the two toxins had reached a subtle equilibrium, mutually generating and restricting each other?
Just as she was lost in thought, Old Ye's guard arrived with some items, accompanied by Old Zhou! Old Zhou appeared to be in a bit of a hurry.
"What's going on? Did it act up again?"
Ji Xingmi took Ye Yu's diagnostic reports and flipped through them one by one. He had seen quite a few doctors over the years. There were many reports, and it would take considerable time.
"Sit down, Old Zhou! He's fine."
"Grandpa Zhou, I'm fine."
Both of them replied in unison. Old Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. After the guard brought over a chair, he also recovered his composure and sat down next to them.
He had been researching Ye Yu's condition in his study, and he had been at a loss for days. He felt as if he was on the verge of understanding something, but he couldn't quite grasp it. For the past few days, he had confined himself to his study, poring over medical texts, hoping to find a cause in the books.
Old Ye explained to Old Zhou why he had been summoned. Only then did Old Zhou notice Ji Xingmi, who was by the side examining the diagnostic records. Upon hearing Old Ye mention that Old Master Bi had been poisoned and the poison had now been resolved, Old Zhou quickly asked Old Master Bi to extend his hand and felt his pulse. He found that Old Master Bi's body was indeed stronger than before. This meant...
"Xiao Ye, extend your hand!"
Old Zhou released Old Master Bi's hand and asked Xiao Ye to extend his, then directly took his pulse.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is! Hiss..." Old Zhou glanced again at Ji Xingmi, who was still reading the diagnostic reports, and smiled, saying, "Each generation excels the last."
Old Ye and Old Master Bi both looked over, not understanding what he meant.
"I've felt Xiao Ye's pulse was a bit strange before, but I couldn't figure out the reason. I've been studying it for days, and I never expected that a young girl could directly point out the problem! I, an old man, admit defeat!"
Old Master Bi was a little proud, and he smiled, looking as if he shared in the honor. Old Ye was also extremely pleased. This meant that the young lady from the Ji family truly had excellent medical skills, and perhaps, just perhaps, she could really cure Xiao Ye.
If Xiao Ye could be cured, then even if he died, he would have the face to see his parents and could leave with peace of mind.
After Ji Xingmi finished reading, she gathered the items and returned them directly to the guard.
"Finished?" Ye Yu had been watching the young girl closely. Seeing her tidy up the items and return them to the guard, he immediately asked.
"Yes, finished!"
"Grandpa Zhou is here too. Didn't you say you had questions to ask!"
