  “You came back.” Du Mingyang smiled and stood up after seeing Wang Ru.

  “Why are you here?” Wang Ru stared at him.

  “Why are you talking like this?” Wang Fenghua coughed and asked.

  “Dad, I have a few words for him,” she said.

  “Then, I’d better get out for a while,” Du Mingyang said.

  Wang Ru dragged him out.

  “Ah, it must be hurt.” Wang Yao saw it clearly that Du Mingyang’s body trembled when being grappled with.

  They went into an alley.

  “Why are you here?” she asked.

  “I came to see uncle and aunt.” Du Mingyang smiled.

  “Why didn’t you let me know?” she asked.

  “Would you let me come if you knew?” he responded.

  “You have a lot of excuses.” Wang Ru stared at him and gave him a pinch.

  “Ah, that hurts,” Du Mingyang said.

  “Here you are, Xiao Ru.” A neighbor passed by and smiled at the two young people flirting.

  The two greeted the neighbor.

  “Why are you greeting?” Wang Ru asked.

  “I need to greet elders,” Du Mingyang said.

  “You have to keep quiet and listen to me. Got it?” she sternly said.

  Du Mingyang smiled.

  “You……”


  They entered into a room.

  “Xiao Ru, I need your help.” Zhang Xiuying asked Xiao Ru to help her in the kitchen.

  “I’ll help.” Du Mingyang rushed into the kitchen.

  “You don’t have to, just have a seat in the living room.” Zhang Xiuying pushed him out.

  Du Mingyang came back to the living room and talked with Wang Fenghua and Wang Yao.

  There were few words from Wang Yao and even less from his father. But, Du Mingyang was quite eloquent and interesting. Wang Yao kept observing him when he was speaking.

  “Ah? I did not know it last time,” Wang Yao said.

  “What, Xiao Yao?” Du Mingyang found Wang Yao kept looking at him in oddly and hurriedly asked him. Wang Yao might be his brother-in-law, so he hoped he regarded him as friendly and could help be a bridge to his future mother-in-law and father-in-law.

  “Doesn’t matter.” Wang Yao smiled.

  “Xiao Ru told me you’re having a clinic here,” Du Mingyang said.

  “Yes,” Wang Yao replied.

  “Is it any good?” Du Mingyang asked.

  “Not bad.” Wang Yao smiled.

  “Have you ever thought working in a hospital?” Du Mingyang asked.

  “Hospital?” Wang Yao was shocked.

  “Yes,” Du Mingyang said.

  “Not at all. I am not a medical graduate, thanks.” Wang Yao smiled.

  Because of Du Mingyang’s arrival, the meal was very different. At the dinner table, Du Mingyang was very eye-catching. His words were also appropriate. He told jokes from time to time. They were not hurtful and amused Zhang Xiuying.

  “Sister, what’s wrong with your eye? Why do you glance up at times?” Wang Yao asked his sister.

  “You……”


  Bang!

  “Oops!”


  “What happened?” Wang Yao’s mother asked.

  “No worries, aunt. My leg knocks against a table leg,” Wang Yao said.

  The meal didn’t end until 8 p.m.

  “Uncle, aunt, you don’t have to send me out,” Du Mingyang said.

  “It’s late. Be careful on your way. Or, would you like to stay?” Zhang Xiuying asked.

  “Thanks, I wouldn’t ask for that.” Du Mingyang knew what he should do and what he shouldn’t.

  “Go quickly.” Wang Ru walked toward him and said, grinding her teeth.

  Hiss! Du Mingyang quivered a bit.

  “Be careful,” she said.

  “Alright, alright,” Du Mingyang said.

  “Ah, a man falling in love.” Wang Yao sighed. “Sister, are aren’t going to follow him are you? You have work tomorrow.”


  “No, I don’t. You’ll give me a lift,” she said.

  “I can pick you up tomorrow,” Du Mingyang said immediately.

  “Out!” Wang Ru yelled out in a low voice.

  “Ok, I will,” he said. He then left quickly.

  “What’s up? You treated him so badly,” Zhang Xiuying said.

  Wang Ru did not answer. She went came back to her room mumbling.

  “How dare he pay a visit and even stay for meal without my permission.”


  “Sister, he is a good boy in my view,” Wang Yao yelled from outside.

  “Shut up! Hurry back to your hill to practice,” she yelled back.

  Wang Yao smiled. He gave his parents a massage before heading to Nanshan Hill.

  The next morning, he left the hill early and gave his sister a lift to Lianshan after breakfast.

  “Since mom and dad aren’t here, tell me the truth. Do you like Du Mingyang? He is a good guy in my view. He treats you well. His good-looking face may bring him luck and fortune.”


  “Are you a fortune teller?” she asked.

  “I know a little, but it’s not the point,” Wang Yao said.

  “I think he is a good guy, but…… How do I say…… I don’t get that feeling of excitement,” Wang Ru said.

  “Come on, sister. You are almost 30. Feeling? Excitement? Are you serious? That’s what they tell you in TV programs and novels,” Wang Yao said with a laugh.

  “I’m trying to get along with him, just trying.” Wang Ru was angry.

  At that time, Du Mingyang called.

  “What’s up? You don’t have to. My brother picked me up. That’s it. I gotta go.”


  “You have to treat him well, like a lady. Be gentle,” Wang Yao said. “It is good that there is someone going after you. You should not scare him away.”


  “Gentle? Drive carefully,” she replied……

  In the People’s Hospital in Lianshan.

  It was quiet in the ward. All the patients were laying on their beds. Family members who took care of them were all tired and laying down.

  “Eh-hem.” An old man lying on the bed coughed and struggled to get up to drink some water. Unfortunately, his family who looked after him had gone out. The next patient’s family had also left.

  He put his hand on one side of the bed to support himself as he got up. He took a deep breath and drank some water.

  Plop. His upper body fell, knocking him to the floor and rendering him unconscious.

  “What was that?” A family member with the next patient over heard the sound and hurried to get up. He saw the old man hitting the ground, but his legs were still hanging on the bed.

  “Uncle? Doctor!” the man yelled.

  Li Maoshuang’s cousin came in and was stunned to see her father had fallen down.

  “Hurry and go ask the doctor to help him up,” said the family member. He had not dared to support the old man.

  The doctor hurried in. The old man had fallen into a coma.

  “What happened?”


  “He fell down and knocked his head on the floor,” the family member said.

  “Schedule a brain CT scan right away,” the doctor told a nurse.

  The old man had already been in danger. They had just controlled his tumor and limited its speed of spread. Now, his head was injured.

  Li Maoshuang and his elder cousin came as soon as possible upon hearing the news.

  “He got up this morning but fell down and hurt his head,” the elder cousin’s sister said.

  “Come on, ask for Doctor Wang,” the elder cousin said.

  He trusted Wang Yao so much it was almost like a superstitious belief in him.

  “Ask for him, what for?” Li Maoshuang asked.

  “For saving him,” the cousin said.

  Wang Yao got a phone call from Li Maoshuang in the car while preparing to go back home. He hurried to the hospital.

  “How is my uncle doing, doctor?” Li Maoshuang asked.

  “It is cerebral hemorrhage,” the doctor replied.

  “Is it dangerous?” Li Maoshuang asked.

  “Very dangerous. It can easily lead to sudden cerebral death. Him getting up in the morning was really dangerous, especially since he is suffering from cancer,” the doctor said.

  “What’s wrong with you? Why did you leave father alone in the ward?” Li Maoshuang’s elder cousin asked.

  “I went to get some water. Who knew?” The sister blamed herself deeply for her father’s condition.

  “Has Doctor Wang arrived?” Li Maoshuang asked.

  “Ah?” The nurse was absent-minded. “Doctor Wang, I don’t know that we have one in the department. We have two nurses surnamed Wang.”


  Wang Yao hurried to the ward. He arrived just as a nurse was making an infusion for the old man.

  “Doctor Wang.” Li Maoshuang hurried to say hello to him. The nurse heard him and turned to look at him.

  “I’ve never seen him. Is he from another department?” She was confused.

  “What’s wrong with him?” Wang Yao asked.

  “He knocked his head on the floor and has a cerebral hemorrhage,” Li Maoshuang said.

  “Cerebral hemorrhage?”
