Li Jiawei rested at home for half a month, and the bandage on her hand was finally removed, but the scar left on the palm of her hand is still clearly visible.

Zhang Qiushuang specially visited a top traditional Chinese medicine doctor and carefully prepared a scar removal ointment for Li Jiawei. She also instructed the nurse to ensure that it was applied to Li Jiawei on time twice a day, morning and evening.

At this time, Li Jiawei was sitting leisurely on a recliner, and the nurse was carefully applying ointment to her hands. In the room, the fragrance of flowers and medicine intertwined and lingered, creating an indescribable freshness and comfort that made her drowsy.

At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. The nurse gently put down the soft brush used to apply the ointment, picked up Li Jiawei's cell phone, answered the call, and then put it close to Li Jiawei's ear.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Chenyue's voice was filled with joy. "Jiawei, are you free today? Let's go shopping. I want to pick out a down jacket."

Li Jiawei's eyes fell on her hands covered with ointment, which needed to be applied for two hours. She remembered that she had not told Zhao Chenyue about her fall from the cliff, and she had rejected Zhao Chenyue's two previous invitations. If she rejected him again this time, Zhao Chenyue would be really angry.

She sighed softly and said gently, "Chenyue, I have something to do at noon and can't leave. Why don't you come to Li Garden to find me first, and then we can go shopping together in the afternoon."

Zhao Chenyue thought for a moment and readily agreed, "Okay, my mother-in-law is helping out in the store today, so I don't have to stay here. I'll come find you in a while."

After Zhao Chenyue arrived at Li Garden, she saw Li Jiawei in the glass flower house and was immediately attracted by the ointment on her hand. She smelled the fresh medicinal fragrance in the air and asked curiously, "What is this ointment for? Is it a whitening magic tool? Can I use it too?"

Li Jiawei looked at Zhao Chenyue's curious eyes and smiled helplessly, "This is for scar removal."

Zhao Chenyue looked at Li Jiawei in confusion when she heard this. "Scar removal? What happened to your hand?"

Li Jiawei sighed softly, with a heavy tone in her voice, "Yueyue, you almost never saw me again."

Zhao Chenyue noticed that Li Jiawei was abnormal, and asked with concern, "What happened?"

Li Jiawei told Zhao Chenyue everything about her experience of falling off the cliff at Luoxia Mountain. Zhao Chenyue's eyes were full of heartache and surprise. "No wonder you turned down my first two appointments with you." Then, she added a bit of blame in her tone. "You didn't even tell me about such a big thing. Do you regard me as your best friend?"

Li Jiawei quickly apologized, with a hint of urgency in her tone, "I'm just afraid that you'll worry!"

Zhao Chenyue looked at Li Jiawei's pitiful appearance, but the anger in her heart did not subside. She sat on the stool next to Li Jiawei in a huff, with a bit of grievance and dissatisfaction in her tone, "Worried? What should I worry about! You don't even treat me as a real friend, what should I worry about? I think we should just break up?"

Li Jiawei apologized to Zhao Chenyue with a pitiful look, "I was really wrong, please forgive me!" She stretched out her hands covered with ointment, as if showing her "evidence of guilt", and said in a coquettish tone, "Look, my hands are so injured."

Zhao Chenyue looked at Li Jiawei's pitiful appearance, and her heart softened after all. She sighed, and said with a serious tone, "Next time if you hide it from me like this, our friendship will really be over."

Seeing that Zhao Chenyue was moved, Li Jiawei nodded quickly and assured her, "This is definitely the last time."

Zhao Chenyue seemed to be still worried and asked, "Is it just these hands? Are there any other injuries?"

Li Jiawei gently stretched out her left hand, her voice trembling slightly, "And my arm."

Zhao Chenyue gently pulled up Li Jiawei's sleeve and looked at her arm wrapped in gauze, her eyes full of concern. "What's wrong with her arm? Is it serious?"

Li Jiawei whispered, "It was really thrilling when I fell off the cliff. Several branches went straight through my arms."

Zhao Chenyue's heart tightened when she heard this, and her concern was evident in her words, "It must be very painful, right?"

Li Jiawei responded with a smile, "Strangely enough, I was so nervous at the time that I didn't feel much pain. When everything settled down, the pain had passed. Now that I think about it, I'm really lucky. I only suffered minor injuries after falling from such a high place."

Zhao Chenyue listened to Li Jiawei's light description, but she knew in her heart how thrilling and frightening it was. Her eyes were slightly red, and she said with emotion, "You are blessed with a good life. It's great that you are safe and sound."

Zhao Chenyue looked at Li Jiawei's hands covered with ointment with distressed eyes, and said gently, "I will stay here with you today, and we can talk about shopping another day."

Li Jiawei quickly shook her head, her eyes flickering with a desire for freedom. "Honey, don't be like this. I've been bored at home for half a month. If I don't go out for a walk, I'm going to get moldy."

Zhao Chenyue hesitated and pointed at her hands covered with ointment. "But your hands..."

Li Jiawei interrupted her with a smile, "It's okay, the ointment only needs to be applied for two hours, and there's less than an hour left. We can go out shopping soon."

Seeing Li Jiawei's insistence, Zhao Chenyue nodded helplessly, then lowered her head to browse her phone. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, frowned, and looked at Li Jiawei, "Jiawei, some time ago, the Internet said that Xiao Yi also fell off a cliff in Luoxia Mountain. It seems that you fell off the cliff on the same day. You...you didn't fall down together, did you?"

Li Jiawei was amused by Zhao Chenyue's curious and gossipy eyes. She pursed her lips and finally nodded, "Yes, it's just as you thought. We fell together."

"Ah!" Zhao Chenyue's surprised cry suddenly rang out in the greenhouse. She widened her eyes and looked at Li Jiawei in disbelief.

Li Jiawei smiled bitterly and tried to cover her ears with her hands to block out Zhao Chenyue's scream that almost penetrated the roof, but the ointment on her hands made her unable to move. She could only bite the bullet and endure this "devil's sound piercing her ears."

When Zhao Chenyue finally calmed down, she excitedly stretched out her hand and said to Li Jiawei, "Give it to me!"

Li Jiawei looked confused. "What?"

Zhao Chenyue said anxiously, "A photo of you and Xiao Yi! And his contact information!"

Li Jiawei looked at Zhao Chenyue's expectant face and shook her head helplessly, "Sorry, I disappoint you. There are no photos and no contact information."

Zhao Chenyue was obviously unwilling to give up. She kept asking, "What about the signature? At least sign it for me!"

Li Jiawei slowly shook her head at Zhao Chenyue's eager eyes, "No signature either."

Zhao Chenyue was like a deflated ball, looking at Li Jiawei with a look of despair, "How many years have we been friends?"

Li Jiawei thought about it carefully and replied, "It has been twelve years since my freshman year."

Zhao Chenyue became even more furious when she heard this. She gritted her teeth and said, "Twelve years! You know what Xiao Yi means to me! I've liked him since he just debuted, for thirteen years! You spent a whole night so close to him, but you didn't even get his contact information, a photo, or his autograph! You really are... really are..." At this point, she couldn't seem to find the right words to describe her disappointment and helplessness, and could only glare at Li Jiawei angrily.
