Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 645 - 644 Are You Yili’s Boyfriend?
Under several meaningful glances from her uncle, Wu Yili finally snapped out of her daze, her gaze towards Ge Dongxu filled with complexity.
She didn't utter any words of apology, only whispered softly, "Dongxu, sorry to trouble you."
Ge Dongxu smiled at Wu Yili, revealing a row of white, even teeth, his eyes as dark and clear as ever.
Suddenly, Wu Yili felt dazed, as if she had fallen into those deep black eyes, seemingly transported back to the narrow mountain path on Baiyun Mountain three years ago.
Back then, she was as helpless as she was now, though the danger then was to herself, whereas now it was her grandmother who was in danger.
And then Ge Dongxu had appeared, and now he had appeared again.
Without any warning.
If one were to speak of fateful ties from past lives, Wu Yili even wondered if this was one.
Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence? First herself, and then her dearest kin.
However, Wu Yili quickly snapped out of her reverie, returning to reality from the wild thoughts in her mind.
What am I thinking? I'm a teacher, and he's my student, Wu Yili scoffed inwardly.
But is he really just a student? One that even noted traditional medicine experts must address respectfully as Mr. Ge? Yet after self-mocking, Wu Yili became perplexed again.
Their relationship, and Ge Dongxu's identity, truly made Wu Yili, a university professor known for her meticulous and strong logical thinking, feel confused. Should she continue to see him as a student, or should she regard him as a great benefactor, a National Medical Master?
"What are you daydreaming about? Let's go," Tang Yahui nudged her with her elbow while Wu Yili was caught in her thoughts.
Only then did Wu Yili realize that Ge Dongxu had already started ascending the stairs with her uncle and others.
Wu Yili's pretty face turned slightly red, and she couldn't quite explain her feelings. She should be more concerned about her grandmother, yet here she was, lost in thought.
"Um!" With her face still flushed, Wu Yili hurriedly followed Tang Yahui up the stairs.
"Didn't you really like that water-droplet-shaped jade pendant? Now I can tell you who the master is," Tang Yahui whispered to Wu Yili as they walked up the stairs.
"Don't tell me, you're talking about the jade carving master Ge Dongxu?" Wu Yili suddenly widened her eyes.
"You're indeed a university professor; your thinking is so sharp!" Tang Yahui teased as she looked at Wu Yili.
"Ah!" Although Wu Yili had already guessed it, seeing Tang Yahui confirm it still made her involuntarily cry out in surprise.
That water-droplet-shaped jade pendant, when Tang Yahui had shown it to her, had instantly enchanted her. Holding the pendant had felt so exquisitely lifelike, a feeling still vivid in her memory, and she also deeply regretted not possessing such a fine piece of jewelry herself.
But Wu Yili never expected that the master Tang Yahui was reluctant to reveal would turn out to be her own student, Ge Dongxu.
At this moment, Wu Yili suddenly realized that even though she thought she understood Ge Dongxu very well, in reality, she knew nothing about him. His expertise in martial arts, his medical skills, and now his mastery in jade carving, all remained a revelation.
"Don't be so surprised; if you truly want it, with your status, he will surely not refuse to craft one for you," Tang Yahui said.
However, when Tang Yahui's words fell on Wu Yili's ears, for some reason, she inexplicably felt a sour feeling.
Hmph, I am his teacher; there's no way I would ever initiate asking him for the jade pendant!
As the two best friends whispered, they reached the upstairs.
Upon reaching upstairs, upon seeing that the door to her grandmother's room was open, Wu Yili's thoughts immediately returned to her grandmother. She hurried a few steps and entered the room.
At that moment, Ge Dongxu was seated beside the sickbed, his fingers placed on the elderly's pulse points, his face serious.
Because the elderly lady was nearing the end of her natural lifespan, she had been alternately lapsing into unconsciousness and awakening these past days. Even when awake, her eyes often appeared vacant and devoid of spirit.
While Ge Dongxu was taking the old lady's pulse, she suddenly opened her eyes and awoke.
Because she had just undergone Yang Yinhou's acupuncture, when the elderly woke up, her muddied eyes seemed to carry a bit of vitality, and she looked considerably more spirited than before.
Seeing a young man taking her pulse, she showed a puzzled look in her eyes, but the puzzled look quickly turned into affection and a smile. She raised her other hand and placed it on Ge Dongxu's, saying, "Young man, are you Yili's boyfriend? What's your name?"
Ge Dongxu did not expect the old lady to ask him this question, and even as a master, he was stupefied.
"Grandma, no, his name is Ge Dongxu, and he's the doctor we've asked here for you." As Ge Dongxu was lost for words, Wu Yili had already rushed to the bedside, holding her grandmother's hand and explaining,
But as she explained, Wu Yili, unbeknownst to herself, had tears streaming down her face; she knew her grandmother had always been thinking about her, worrying about her continuously.
"So it's the doctor, eh! I'm sorry, Dr. Ge. My grandma is concerned about me, her granddaughter. She hopes that, after her time, there will be a man to protect and care for me; hence the misunderstanding," the old lady said, her eyes dimming as she spoke.
"Grandma, you are still in good health. You will surely see Teacher Wu walk into the marriage hall with your own eyes," Ge Dongxu said, hearing the disappointment in the old lady's voice, suddenly reminded of his own grandparents, feeling a pang in his heart as he tightly grasped the old hand and spoke.
"You are a good young man! But it's no use; grandma knows her own body well, and I probably just have these few days left," the old lady sighed.
"No, Grandma, Ge Dongxu is a very skilled doctor. Even Professor Tang seeks advice on medicine from him. What's more, his senior brother has even said that his medical skills are better than his. He will definitely find a way to prolong your life by a few more years," Wu Yili tearfully said, "Right, Dongxu?"
"Ah, Yili, don't make it hard for Master Ge," Principal Zhang said, placing his hand on Wu Yili's shoulder.
"Yes, Professor Wu, some things simply cannot be forced," Zhu Dongyu also followed up with words of comfort.
If Ge Dongxu had said he could delay the elderly's life by two or three months, or even half a year, Principal Zhang and Zhu Dongyu might still be half doubtful, especially since Yang Yinhou had praised him before; it still seemed possible.
However, now that Ge Dongxu said the elderly would definitely live to see Wu Yili walk down the aisle, to them, these were clearly words of comfort, of good fortune.

How could a person nearing the end of their natural life possibly hold on for several more years?
Wu Yili clearly thought the same, hence why she couldn't stop the tears from continuously falling, asking Ge Dongxu in a crying voice.
Seeing Wu Yili crying like a fountain of tears, Ge Dongxu's nose turned sour, and looking at her, he nodded and said, "Most definitely."
"You are a kind-hearted child. If Yili can find a young man like you in the future, grandma will rest easy in the underworld," the old lady gripped Ge Dongxu's hand tightly and sighed.
"Ah!" Apart from Yang Yinhou and Tang Yiyuan, everyone in the room broke down in tears.
