One man and one woman entered the decent looking hut. One person came with hopes while another person came with trust. One of them was nervous about the outcome while the other person was unaware about anything.
Entering the hut, Jiayi felt like looking at Xiaoying's face once. He didn't knew why his heart felt as if he would be not able to see her again. There was an unsettling feeling in his heart And, he did. Turning his head he saw her smiling widely, looking at the unfamiliar environment with curiosity. Her one hand was held in his palms, while her other hand was wrapped on his arms showing her dependence on him.
"Yes, how may I help you my son?" A kind, gentle voice brought Jiayi out of his stupor.
Jiayi turned his head and quickly identified the source of voice as Master Yi, who was well known and famous for his unconventional treatments. Bowing towards him, Jiayi spoke, "I am here to ask for your guidance Master Yi."
Master Yi glanced at Xiaoying faintly and nodded. Pointing towards a wooden bench near the tree, Master Yi added, "She can wait there comfortably."
His words stunned Jiayi. Even though he knew that Master Yi was a well-known person and had thunderous capabilities, he never thought Master Yi would be able to figure out within a glance that, the person for who he came here was Xiaoying.
Helping Xiaoying towards the wooden bench, Jiayi followed Master Yi towards another spot, "Master Yi, I need your help in treating her." He spoke while his eyes followed Xiaoying sitting on the wooden bench. Jiayi's eyes were instantly filled with tenderness, while he was talking about Xiaoying.
Jiayi told Master Yi everything that was worrying him, "Master Yi, my only wish is to cure her as soon as possible."
Hearing everything Master Yi was also dazed. He was clearly able to feel the feelings of the young man. Patting his shoulder lightly Master Yi walked towards Xiaoying and touched her head lightly.
Master Yi was known to touch the patient's head and figure out if their treatment was possible or not. Throughout his life Jiayi never asked anything, he never believed in god. But today, he was silently praying to god, asking them to help him cure her.
Removing his hand from the top of Xiaoying's head Master Yi nodded towards Jiayi with mild smile making him feel elated.
Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief before thanking Master Yi for giving him hope. A hope which he buried deep in his heart, a hope which will turn everything upside down.
"It is possible to cure her. You will have to leave her here for two days and we will treat her. I am sure she will be alright." Master Yi spoke and left from there giving them privacy to talk about things and arrange it.
Xiaoying who had heard everything was nervous, catching Jiayi's sleeves she slightly tugged them, "Brother Yi?"
Patting her head Jiayi sat down beside her and spoke something to make her accept the treatment and her stay here.
"Brother Yi, I am sacred." Smiling Jiayi hugged her lightly trying to console her.
"Do you want to see your Brother Yi happy?" Jiayi questioned.
Xiaoying nodded vigorously. There was no way in the world that she would want to see her Brother Jiayi sad. If her being at this place would make him happy she decided to sacrifice her happiness and stay here. She fought with her heart and decided against it to stay here and take her treatment, then go back to her Brother Jiayi.
But the question was, Will he come to take her back?
Will she be really cured?
Were they both fated? Or would the destiny stand against them?
After convincing Xiaoying to stay in the monastery and arranging her in her room, Jiayi left.
Even though he didn't wanted to leave her alone, he had to leave under the persuasion of Master Yi, who explained him that his presence would affect the treatment.
Leaving with a heavy heart, Jiayi heard some news on his way back making him frown. Jiayi decided to not cook anything for dinner since Xiaoying was not there. To fill his stomach he decided to buy some buns and a cup of coffee from a local shop.
"How can someone be so cruel?"
"Yes, even I heard about it. People now a days."
"It is not at all safe for girls to even talk to strangers."
"Who know what kind of beast that person is?"
Many such lines, conversations fell into Jiayi's ears. Not paying any attention to their talks
Jiayi left back to his home.
