Chapter 209: Cheer Up

“Stop your tears. Haven’t you noticed that the land around me has become more fertile? Look around the tree. The grass is almost at your kneecaps. If you continue to cry, the next time you come in, the grass will probably cover you up.”

Emily looked around and felt that Bai Yi was exaggerating. She was just a little sad. She had been crying for an extra day recently. How could the grass in the space have anything to do with her?

Emily pouted and looked at Bai Yi unhappily. “I’m already so sad, yet you’re still bullying me.”

“It’s not like Shen Yu isn’t coming back. Are you going to keep crying like this? Are you going to hide in your room and cry every day?”

Bai Yi was obviously very dissatisfied with Emily’s state these few days. She did not do anything all day and did not go to school. All she knew was to cry like a fool. She had wasted a few days.

“No, it’s just these past few days. I’ll be fine after I’ve adjusted my condition.” Emily denied it. She did not want to be so sad, but she could not help it. The thought of not seeing Shen Yu for a long time made her want to cry. She did not know what was wrong with her.

“How many days is it? Shen Yu has left for almost five days.” Emily clearly did not have any credibility with Bai Yi. If she gave Emily a chance, a month might pass very quickly.

Emily lowered her head and did not speak. She really had not thought about it. However, she could not force herself to stop thinking about Shen Yu. However, when she thought about Shen Yu leaving, she wanted to cry again. She did not do anything.

“I think you know why Shen Yu left. Do you want him to come back and find you sad at home every day? Do you want him to cry like a rabbit every day?” Bai Yi asked.

“No…” Emily quickly denied.

She knew that Shen Yu would leave sooner or later, but this time, it was because it was early. Shen Yu wanted to protect her, so she wanted to stay by his side.

“I know what to do.” Emily’s face was no longer as dispirited as before. Instead, she had become firm.

Bai Yi was very satisfied with Emily’s performance. With a wave of her hand, a few books appeared in front of Emily. Emily flipped through them and found that they were actually a few ancient medical books. Emily was very puzzled. Was Bai Yi preparing to teach her medicine?

“Medicine is something that you came up with yourself. Medicine is broad and profound. In the future, you might spend your entire life studying it. Now, you can casually flip through these few books and slowly recite them. For you, the most important thing right now is to learn the basics, so you can’t slack off in school. I’ve already made a plan for you. Every day, follow the time that I assign you.”

With a wave of her hand, a piece of paper fell in front of Emily. Bai Yi had arranged every day except for sleeping. Emily suddenly felt that her days would be more fulfilling. When Shen Yu came back, she would definitely become very outstanding.

“Okay, I will slowly memorize these books. I’ll memorize them well.” Emily held the books tightly in her arms and looked at Bai Yi seriously. Bai Yi was not going to talk to Emily. She waved her hand and sent Emily out of the space.

Emily returned to the bed and pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. It seemed that Bai Yi really despised her condition during this period of time. She was actually not willing to say anything to her.

After that, the Shen family discovered that Emily had changed. She no longer cried as often as before and read medical books whenever she was free. However, she was not as lively as before. Second Aunt also discovered that… Emily no longer took the initiative to ask about Shen Yu.

Sometimes, when the family members talked about Shen Yu, Emily would sit quietly at the side and listen. She would not take the initiative to talk about Shen Yu, nor would she take the initiative to ask about him. After eating, she would continue reading her books, or when it was time, she would go out for a jog. After that, she would go to learn taekwondo with Shen Nan and make arrangements for her own life.

Second Aunt could not help but frown. She did not know whether Emily’s current state was good or bad. She was even more worried that Emily would directly forget Shen Yu because of Shen Yu’s departure. Would Shen Yu collapse when he returned?

She had discussed this matter with Third Aunt and Old Madam Shen. The conclusion they came to was that as long as Emily was happy to do her own things, they should not get involved too much. They could talk about the future later.

Time flew by. Five years passed very quickly. Emily had grown a lot taller and was no longer as malnourished as before. When she entered junior high school, her height had already reached 1.6 meters. Her long legs were often the focus of the crowd. In addition to her loli appearance and big sister’s figure, she was even more eye-catching.
