Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

Faced with a swarm of suitors, Si Yuan politely but firmly rejected them.

But those people weren't giving up, and went straight to the school to confess their feelings.

They were everywhere; they could even see the confession banners falling from the helicopter while Si Yuan was in class.

Break between classes, lunch, and going home in the evening—

They will almost always be surrounded by people.

Si Yuan was extremely annoyed.

Especially with her period approaching, Si Yuan felt unwell, which made her even more irritable and anxious.

That day, just as the last class had begun, Si Yuan received a WeChat message from Bo Yusen.

"The back entrance of the swimming pool."

Si Yuan stared blankly at the WeChat interface.

He's here?

My depressed mood immediately lifted.

Knowing that many people would surround her after class, Si Yuan simply asked for leave from the classroom, citing feeling unwell.

At this time, there were only two or three people holding roses, and Si Yuan quickly slipped past them by taking advantage of her familiarity with the terrain.

Si Yuan spotted Bo Yusen's luxury car from afar.

She was jogging over when the car pulled up to her feet.

Lan Hai got out of the car and opened the door. Si Yuan said "thank you" and got in.

"dense--"

Si Yuan excitedly rushed towards Bo Yusen, wanting to hug him and put her hands inside his clothes to warm them.

Bo Yusen pressed Si Yuan's head down with his thumb, preventing her from succeeding.

"Eighty-nine—"

Bo Yusen opened his mouth and coldly stated a number.

"Huh? What, eighty-nine?"

Si Yuan clearly did not understand Bo Yusen's meaning.

"Your suitor today—"

Si Yuan: "..."

Are there that many?

"Five hundred and fifty-two—"

Si Yuan stared at Bo Yusen, revealing a set of embarrassed white teeth, "This couldn't be...?"

"That's right, it's one of your suitors lately—"

Looking at Bo Yusen's cold and handsome face, Si Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

She removed Bo Yusen's hand from her forehead and leaned against him. "How can you, a busy CEO, still be calculating like this?"

Bo Yusen pinched Si Yuan's cheek. "No?"

"Sure, of course! So, you're jealous?"

"Do they even deserve it?"

Si Yuan raised an eyebrow, still as aloof and arrogant as ever.

Although he wouldn't admit it, Si Yuan knew he was jealous.

"Of course they don't deserve it. You are the most precious person in my heart. They are not even worth a single hair on your head."

Si Yuan doesn't usually coax people, but when she does, she can make them feel like they're on cloud nine.

Sure enough, Bo Yusen's expression softened considerably, even though he had just looked gloomy.

He held Si Yuan's slender waist, pulled her closer, and lowered his head to kiss her soft, slightly cool lips.

Si Yuan was initially a little cold, but when their lips and tongues touched and they lingered passionately, her body quickly warmed up.

The kiss didn't last long. Bo Yusen released Si Yuan, looked at her panting face, and wiped the moisture from the corner of his lips with his thumb.

"I'm taking you somewhere today."

Si Yuan's eyes lit up; she thought she was going on a date and was very happy.

Get out of the car.

Si Yuan looked at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic in front of her.

"..."

She turned stiffly to look at Bo Yusen, "Is this some kind of new dating hotspot?"

Bo Yusen took Si Yuan's hand. "Let's go inside."

The traditional Chinese medicine clinic is very large.

Bo Yusen led Si Yuan through the foyer and a corridor to a very unique room.

The room had a pleasant sandalwood scent. An elderly man with gray hair, wearing reading glasses and a Zhongshan suit sat at a table looking at a tablet.

Si Yuan assumed he was watching some kind of talk show, a variety program, or a program about traditional Chinese medicine.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out he was watching "Boonie Bears".

He was watching so intently and focused that he didn't even notice someone coming in.

"Grandpa Su..."

Upon hearing Bo Yusen's voice, the old man finally looked up at the two of them.

"Oh, Yusen... long time no see... what brings you, such a busy man, here?"

Before Bo Yusen could speak, he stood up and pressed Bo Yusen back into a chair. "Since you're here, why don't you watch some TV with me? I remember you told me last time that you liked Xiong Da. Have you seen the recent episodes? They met..."

Bo Yusen interrupted the old man, who was eager to share, "Grandpa Su, I brought someone here today to give you a look."

"people?"

The old man's eyes then turned to Si Yuan, "Oh my, she's quite a beautiful young lady."

Si Yuan smiled respectfully and politely, "Hello, Elder Su."

"You know me?"

Si Yuan nodded. "I naturally know that Elder Su is a renowned healer with a far-reaching reputation."

If Si Yuan wasn't mistaken, the old man in front of her was Su Henian, the head of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Beijing.

His family has been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for generations, and it has been almost 150 years since he was born.

It has been established longer than Yunjie University.

Su Henian is now 98 years old. He has handed over his family business to his son and grandson, and he himself has long since retired from public life and no longer treats patients.

Someone once offered him a huge sum of money to come out of retirement, but it was no use.

Unexpectedly, Bo Yusen found his residence with ease.

Si Yuan had assumed that the legendary master of traditional Chinese medicine would be a very serious old man, but she was surprised to find that he was cheerful and even mischievous, like a playful old man.

He nudged Bo Yusen with his elbow, a wicked grin on his face, "You're quite the ladies' man."

Si Yuan's cheeks flushed slightly. Bo Yusen coughed lightly, "Let's take care of business first."

The so-called important matter was to treat Si Yuan's illness.

Su Henian looked at Si Yuan and smiled kindly at her, "Pretty little girl, what's your name?"

"Si Yuan, Elder Su can call me A Yuan."

"Ah Yuan, it's a good name, it suits our Yusen very well. Put your right hand here..."

Si Yuan frowned slightly. She wasn't sick, and she didn't know why Bo Yusen had brought her to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

However, despite Bo Yusen's good intentions, Old Master Su never came out of seclusion, but because he was willing to let her take a look, it would be too much for her not to cooperate.

"Sit here."

Bo Yusen pulled Si Yuan over and made her sit in a chair.

Si Yuan glanced at him and then placed her right hand on the silver pulse pillow.

Su Henian placed his middle and index fingers on Si Yuan's pulse to take her pulse.

The room was very quiet, and Si Yuan couldn't stand the silence, so she subconsciously tried to pull her hand back.

"Don't move—"

Old Su used a very light touch, but Si Yuan couldn't break free no matter what she did.

Bo Yusen placed his warm hand on her shoulder, and his gentle voice sounded in her ear, "Be good."

Si Yuan stopped struggling and remained stiff and motionless.

"Knock knock knock—"

Her heart started beating very fast for no reason.

It's strange. Apart from menstrual cramps, she doesn't have any other illnesses, so why is she so nervous?

Moreover, why did Old Master Su take his pulse for so long?

Then, Old Su's sharp gaze fell on Si Yuan's face.

Si Yuan felt extremely uncomfortable, with a sense of unease and helplessness that Su Lao was about to see right through her.

A layer of cold sweat even broke out on my back.

After a while, Su Henian released Si Yuan and said in a deep voice, "Young man, take good care of your health and don't worry too much."

Si Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't hear anything about a terminal illness.

"Understood, thank you, Professor Su..."

He was lightly tapped on the arm by the wooden board. "What do you mean, 'Old Su'? That's too formal. From now on, you and Yusen will both call me Grandpa Su."

Si Yuan glanced at Bo Yusen, and after seeing him nod, she obediently called out, "Grandpa Su."

"Good girl... Ah Yuan, there are some pastries made by chefs from Suzhou and Hangzhou in the front hall. Go and rest for a while. As for Yu Sen, it's rare to see you, so keep me company while I watch TV for a bit."

Bo Yusen gave Si Yuan a reassuring look, "I'll be there in a bit."

Old Man Su was displeased. "Hey, an episode of an animated film is only a few minutes long. Can't you two even separate for a little while?"

Si Yuan's cheeks flushed, and she went to the front hall under the guidance of the boy.

As soon as the person left, the expressions of the two people in the room immediately became serious.

Bo Yusen frowned. "What exactly happened?"

Su Henian sighed, "The child is a good child, but... I've been taking pulses all my life, and I've never seen anyone so young with such a weak and difficult pulse."

"What exactly did she go through to overthink and become so resentful?"

"She probably doesn't sleep well every night. She has too many things on her mind. It's more exhausting for her mind than for her body. Her pulse is damaged by worries."

"If this continues, not only will the spleen and stomach be affected, but even the mind and spirit will be depleted."

With each word Su Henian spoke, Bo Yusen's expression grew increasingly grim.

Su Henian gave Bo Yusen a prescription, "Prepare the medicine according to this prescription and give it to her every day."

"...Thank you, Grandpa Su."

Su Henian patted Bo Yusen's hand. "Child, any medicine can only heal the body, but it cannot cure the heart. Only when the knot in the heart is untied can the pulse flow smoothly. Do you understand what I mean?"

Bo Yusen nodded. "Understood."

"Well, don't worry too much. You're both still young, there's nothing you can't solve. When you get married, don't forget to invite this old man to your wedding."

Bo Yusen twitched the corner of his mouth. "It's a deal."

Bo Yusen looked at the prescription in his hand, and his handsome eyebrows furrowed unconsciously again.

It's a mental illness—

Suzhou and Hangzhou snacks truly deserve to be among the most famous in China.

Si Yuan ate an osmanthus pastry and a chestnut pastry, and drank a cup of Da Hong Pao tea brewed by someone else. She was extremely satisfied.

Seeing Bo Yusen come out, she immediately smiled and stood up to greet him, "The snacks are delicious, would you like some?"

Looking at Si Yuan's bright smile, Bo Yusen couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "Do you like it?"

"like--"

"Then pack two boxes when you leave."

Si Yuan was shocked. "Isn't that a bad idea?"

When you come to someone's clinic for treatment, how can you possibly accept food and gifts?

"There's nothing wrong with it."

Bo Yusen wasn't embarrassed at all; when he got the medicine, he had already asked someone to pack two boxes of pastries for him.

The other party was not unhappy at all, but happily gave it to Bo Yusen, saying, "Ninth Master, just give me a call next time you want some, and I'll have someone deliver it to you."

Bo Yusen nodded. "Thank you."

Si Yuan was stunned. No wonder he was Master Bo.

only--

"I'm not sick, so why do I need to take medicine?"
