Shang Jinâs mother was in a difficult position. âShe doesnât want to see her friends now, and she doesnât want to cooperate with the doctor. Iâm afraid sheâll say bad things to drive you away.â
Tan Rou said, âAuntie, donât worry. 1 wonât leave. As long as you let me talk to her, Iâll convince her.â
Shang Jinâs mother was skeptical. She could not help Shang Jin now. She might as well let this little girl try; perhaps Shang Jin would agree to the treatment.
Tan Rou pushed open the door and saw the girl lying under the blanket. The girlâs back was facing the door, so she couldnât see the wound on her face.
After a while, Shang Jin said, âMom, didnât i tell you to go out? Why are you here again?â
âSenior, itâs me.â
Shang Jin heard Tan Ronâs voice and immediately covered his head. âGet out quickly. I look very ugly now. Donât look at me. Iâll scare you!â
Tan Rou walked straight to Shang Jinâs bedside and said softly, âI know youâre feeling very uncomfortable, but itâs not a good idea to keep hiding. We should actively get the treatments done.â
Shang Jin, who was hiding under the blanket, said, âThe doctor said that thereâs a 90% chance that there will be a scar. The treatment fee is also costly. In this half a month, Iâve already spent most of the 400,000 yuan from the dividends. If I continue to receive treatment, my family will be dragged down by me.â
âHmm, youâre right. Burn treatment is indeed very expensive,â Tan Rou said to her.
It was the first time Shang Jin heard someone agree with her point of view, so he stuck his head out from under the blanket. âRourou, youâre different from them. They only tell me not to care about money. As long as Iâm well, theyâll be happy even if they spend all the money.â
âWhat do you plan to do now? Are you going out with such a face?â Tan Rou asked.
Shang Jin shook his head and said, âI will never go out again. With my face like this, I will only scare others.â
âWhat about your ice beauty junior? Are you giving up?â Tan Rou asked again.
Shang Jinâs eyes were sore and she almost cried. The doctor said that she couldnât cry, so she could only continue to hold it in. âYou donât know how much I liked him. When I was young, I liked to watch TV dramas. The male lead in the drama looked handsome, but they were all very cold, so I dreamed of finding such a person to be my boyfriend. I finally found him, but now that my face has become like this, how can I be with him?â
âWhy didnât you cooperate with the treatment? Xu Yan took more than half a monthâs leave to find a doctor for you,â Tan Rou said. âYou know, he never takes leave.â
Shang Jin was stunned for a moment before he replied, âHe doesnât like me. He just sympathizes with me.â
âDo you want to give up on him just like that?â Tan Rou asked again.
âI donât want to. 1 donât have the face to see him anymore.â Shang Jin was very sad.
Tan Rou took out the bag containing the ointment. âThis is the ointment for treating burns. Try it again. Compared to the treatment fee of millions, this is much cheaper.â
Shang Jin didnât want to try. She was in a state of despair now. âI donât want to try anymore.â
She was afraid that her hope would be shattered.
âDonât give up, okay?â Tan Rou held Shang Jinâs hand. âMy impression of you is that you are a sunny and cheerful person; who looks especially good when she smiles and is very handsome when she scolds people. I like her very much. The people who love you and the people you love are trying their best to cure your face. How can you give up so easily?â
âIâm afraid of failure! The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment,â Shang Jin said sadly. âI donât want to be disappointed anymore.â
âItâs a pity to give up before trying.â Tan Rou said, âJust like how you liked Xu Yan. You knew that Xu Yan might not like you, but you still bravely pursued him, didnât you?â
Shang Jin said, âThatâs differentâ¦â
âItâs the same.â Tan Rou said, âIt takes courage to do everything. I believe you can do it. Can you try one last time?â
Shang Jin looked at the bottles of ointment and nodded. âOkay, 1 want to try again.â
After Tan Rou convinced Shang Jin, she told the good news to Shang Jinâs mother and told her the order of application of the ointment.
âThank you!â Shang Jinâs mother was very touched. âIf you can cure her, then youâve saved my daughter twice. Itâs my All Jinâs blessing to have you as a friend..â
