Sitting quietly, under the glare of everyone's gaze, he still had that calm smile on his face.
She didn't speak immediately.
He just slowly raised his hand, the emerald light flowing through his fingertips, and gently brushed his hanging long hair. The movement was careless, but it made the atmosphere in the entire conference room quiet down.
Those emerald eyes slowly scanned everyone present - Tuoba Xi's solemnity, Qin Qi's remaining anger, Yan Rong's impulsiveness, Huang Yue's calmness, Jin Xiu's compassion, Luo Yun's gentleness, Jiang Wantang's seriousness, and the uncontrollable expectation in Liu Tao's eyes.
She saw the fire in everyone's heart.
I also saw the same name burning together behind the fire--
Long Jinyu.
After a long while, Yu finally spoke softly:
"I heard everything you just said clearly."
Her voice is like a clear spring in the mountains, neither slow nor slow, but it has a power that makes people calm down.
"Elder Tuoba said, we can't just let it go - this is righteousness."
"Elder Qin said that the consequences would be disastrous - this is anger."
"Elder Yan said that he must be taught a lesson - this is bloody."
"Huang Yuanlao said, think twice before acting - this is wisdom."
"The elders of Jin said that if the fleet fires, innocent people will be hurt - this is benevolence."
"Miss Yun'er said that we should consider the dean's feelings - this is love."
"Miss Jiang said, don't behave like Evil Soul Master - this is the bottom line."
She paused slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her lips:
"Righteousness, anger, blood, wisdom, benevolence, emotion, bottom line - each of you is using your own way to protest against Jin Yu and seek a future for the Medical Pavilion."
"I saw it. Jin Yu If I know about it in the future, I will also see it."
There was silence in the conference room for a moment.
Tuoba Xi's brows relaxed, and Qin Qi's complexion softened a bit.
Yu continued:
"But Yu also wants to ask you to think again - Jin Yu, why is he so desperate? Why would he go to the Mingdou Mountain Range alone without telling anyone?"
Everyone was silent.
A faint bitter smile appeared on the corner of Yu's lips:
"This is not Supervision Group's mission, nor is it an experience arranged by the Sea God Pavilion."
"He went to get rid of Evil Soul Master, to protect the innocent people he had never met, and to prevent the students of Shrek from repeating the 'tragedy' he remembered."
"What he does is never for himself."
"He is too sensible."
There was a hint of trembling in Yu's voice.
"He is so sensible that it makes people feel bad. He is never willing to make things difficult for anyone, and he is never willing to put his emotions on others. Even if he is wronged, he will only digest it by himself, and then smile and say to everyone, 'It's okay.'"
"But I want to ask more - why?"
"Why does he always have to carry everything alone?"
"Why is his intention always the last to be considered?"
This sentence is like a stone dropped into still water, creating ripples in everyone's heart.
Her eyes became deeper:
"What you are fighting over is how to 'treat' Shrek."
"Have you ever thought about what kind of 'neighbor' does Jin Yu need Shrek to be?"
One sentence made everyone present stunned again.
Yan Rong opened his mouth and closed it again.
Tuoba Xi frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
Huang Yue nodded slightly, as if he had captured something.
Yu did not wait for their answer, but continued:
"Vice Dean Liu just went to invite him. Everyone knows why I stopped him."
Her voice was calm, but it made everyone sit up straight subconsciously.
"That girl waited for him all night at the Phoenix Perch Pavilion. From midnight to dawn, from not being able to sense his breath to completely disconnecting from the contract - she didn't know where he was going or whether he would come back. She only knew that the boy who would appear in front of her every day suddenly disappeared."
"At this moment, they are together. Jin Yu is accompanying her, and she is slowly calming down the fear of that night."
Yu's eyes slowly scanned the crowd:
"Do you know what this means?"
"It means that for him, the improvement of strength, the expansion of power, and future plans - all of these are inferior to the person waiting for him to come home."
"But here we are discussing, asking Shrek for an explanation or even a lesson - will Jin Yu be happy when he finds out?"
No one answered.
"He won't."
"He will only feel that he has caused trouble to the people around him. He will only hide his emotions more carefully, work harder to play the role of the 'perfect little senior sister' and the 'reliable Medical Pavilion master' - and swallow what he really wants."
Qin Qi's fist slowly loosened.
Yu's voice became softer:
"Last night, when I rescued Jin Yu, he fell in a pool of blood, his chest was penetrated, and his life was almost cut off."
"With that kind of injury, no one would be able to sustain me."
"But he held on."
"Why?"
Yu's eyes were fixed on Luo Yun, and then moved to Jiang Wantang:
"It's precisely because he has unfinished business in his heart, and someone is waiting for him - waiting for him to go back and fulfill those promises and accompany her on the road she has never walked together."
Luo Yun lowered his head, his eye sockets slightly red.
Jin Xiu sighed softly.
The more he withdrew his gaze, his tone became calmer:
"I know Jin Yu's thoughts better than everyone here. They are connected by blood and resonate with each other. There are some things that I can feel without him having to say them."
"But because of this, I can't even make the decision for him."
Tuoba Xi raised his head, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
The more she met his gaze, she said slowly:
"When Jin Yu was in coma, I could decline Mu En's gift for him, and I could decide the direction of treatment for him. Because he had no ability to choose at that time, as a guardian, I must make the most favorable judgment for him."
"But now--"
A smile appeared on her lips:
"He's awake."
"He is your master, the dean of the Yanhuang Lingyun Medical Mansion, and the successor of Dragon God Bloodline. He has his own will, his own judgment, and his own path."
"I can guide you to think, and I can talk about my own ideas. But the final decision--"
She paused, and her gaze became more profound:
"That's his business. It's not mine or anyone else's here."
The conference room fell silent again.
This time, no one was in a hurry to speak.
He stood up more, his long emerald hair gently flicking:
"You are all Jin Yu's companions and the pillars of the Medical Pavilion. You can sit here and argue today because you care about him."
"That's good."
"But precisely because I care, I have to believe in him even more."
She walked to the window, looked in the distance in the direction of Shrek City, and spoke in a soft but firm voice:
"That child is far more conscious and powerful than you think."
"He will make the most appropriate choice."
"And what we have to do is after he makes his choice--"
She turned around and glanced at everyone:
"Stand behind him."
"Whichever way he goes, the more he waits by that road. When he is tired, the more he continues. When he is injured, the more he heals. If he wants to cry, the more he stays with him. If he wants to laugh, the more he watches."
"This is Yu's understanding of the word 'guard'."
"Instead of deciding for him, being angry for him, and avenging him."
In the conference room, you can hear the drop of a needle.
After a long time, Tuoba Xi was the first to stand up and bowed deeply to Yu:
"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty!"
Yan Rong also stood up.
"I was impulsive. You are right, the dean's wishes are the most important."
Huang Yue looked at him with a smile, said nothing, and stood up to bow to Yu slightly.
Qin Qi, Jin Xiu, Luo Yun and others also stood up and saluted one after another.
The more he looked at this scene, he shook his head slightly and raised his hand to help.
She said nothing more, just sat back in her seat and waited quietly.
The sunlight filtered in from the window and fell on her long emerald hair, creating a soft halo.
In the conference room, the atmosphere was completely different.
No more tense arguments.
It's a kind of peaceful waiting.
Because they know--
That silver-haired boy will return soon.
