Soon, she brought over some hot water and noticed there was only one cup on the cabinet. Upon seeing this, Zhang Feng quickly said, "Just make this for Su Li. It will help her recover faster if she gets enough nutrition. I have canned food and pastries to eat, that's enough for me."

Lin Xiaoxiao first made Su Li a cup of milk powder. Instantly, the unpleasant smell in the ward was replaced by the fragrance of milk powder.

"Teacher, I have to go out for a bit, I'll be right back." Lin Xiaoxiao said and went out. She didn't go anywhere, but wandered around Su Li's house, inquired about some things, and then took out a net bag of things in a relatively secluded place.

When they arrived at the hospital, Zhang Feng and Su Li saw that Lin Xiaoxiao was carrying a lot of things again. Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao taking out new water cups, lunch boxes, malted milk powder, fruits, and snacks, Zhang Feng's eyes reddened, and Su Li was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

Zhang Feng just kept saying thank you. He couldn't refuse these things at the moment. His wife needed nourishment, and he couldn't bring himself to turn them away.

"Teachers, I've already told you, I consider you all family, so please don't be so formal with me anymore." Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "When Teacher Su Li went to great lengths for me, she didn't ask for anything in return. I'm just repaying her within my means. Don't overthink it, the key is for you to take good care of yourselves now."

Seeing that there weren't many pastries left on the table, Lin Xiaoxiao asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go get some food. Did the doctor say there's anything we should avoid eating?"

"Xiaoxiao, stop fussing over it. You should rest. I haven't even had a proper talk with you yet." Su Li held Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, trying to stop her from doing these things.

"Teacher, no one, whether from the older or younger generation, needs my care. Only you can be considered my family. Teacher, you wouldn't push me away now, would you?" Lin Xiaoxiao sighed pitifully.

“How could that be? If you don’t mind, your family will always prepare a room for you. Teacher, let’s not say anything more, let’s not talk about formalities.” As she spoke, Su Li choked up.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Zhang Feng offered a few words of comfort before heading to a state-run restaurant outside to get their food.

After losing sight of Lin Xiaoxiao, Zhang Feng couldn't help but say, "That child is so thoughtful."

"Yes, this child is not only academically excellent, but also of noble character." Su Li was moved.

With Lin Xiaoxiao around, I can't help but think of my own child; maybe in the future, I really will become a family with Xiaoxiao.

The hospitalized patients nearby, seeing Lin Xiaoxiao like this, thought she was another child of theirs. When they asked, they found out she was a student. They praised her, saying that Lin Xiaoxiao was incredibly kind to her teacher, and that their own children were no better.

Some children are not as good as a student.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't go to the hospital cafeteria, where the food was cold. Instead, she went directly to the nearest state-run restaurant and got a hot meal to go.

Lin Xiaoxiao carried the lunchbox and returned to the hospital.

The couple hadn't eaten out in ages, but they were surprised to find themselves enjoying restaurant food while in the hospital.

"Teachers, please eat while it's hot." Lin Xiaoxiao laid out all the lunchboxes one by one. "It's the coldest time of year now, so please eat while it's hot."

Zhang Feng didn't stand on ceremony. He took the lunchbox and started eating. He needed to eat more, especially in times like this, to conserve his energy so he could take good care of his wife.

Zhang Feng ate his meal heartily, not forgetting to call Su Li to eat with him.

Su Li was also hungry, especially when she smelled the aroma of meat, so she picked up her lunchbox and started eating slowly.

The hot meal soothed their recent anxieties. "How many days can you stay this time?" Su Li asked Lin Xiaoxiao as she ate.

Lin Xiaoxiao told Su Li about her life in Wangjia Village. She stayed with Su Li while Zhang Feng went home to rest, saying he would come back to keep watch that night.

Lin Xiaoxiao said there was no need for them to come; she would keep watch tonight and let Zhang Feng get a good night's rest. But they refused no matter what they said.

Lin Xiaoxiao has already done enough; there's no reason for her to keep watch all night.

Lin Xiaoxiao then gave up.

While she was chatting with Su Li, a doctor and nurse came in to change Su Li's dressing. She watched from the side and asked a few questions about Su Li's condition.

The doctor who changed Su Li's dressing was a young man. He was the one who had been following up on Su Li's case and knew some of the general situation. He assumed Lin Xiaoxiao was Su Li's unfilial child, and his tone was a bit harsh when he answered her question.

“You only came when things got better, but none of you showed up during the first two days when we needed you the most. I don’t know how you children are behaving yourselves.”

"Huh??..." Lin Xiaoxiao was still a little confused by these words. Was this person blaming her?

The young doctor glanced at the items on the cabinet, his tone softening slightly, "Never mind, it's better to ask than to ignore it. Her wound is healing well; she must avoid spicy food..."

The doctor listed a long list of precautions, and Lin Xiaoxiao listened and responded. After he finished speaking, she repeated the list, which made the male doctor look up at her.

The young male doctor was stunned at that glance, his heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected the teacher's child to be so good-looking and have such a good temperament. But he calmed down as soon as he turned his head. Good-looking and with such good conditions, yet he still lacked filial piety.

After changing Su Li's dressing and examining her, the doctor and nurse left.

"Xiaoxiao, don't blame Dr. Chen. In the beginning, we didn't have the money to pay for the surgery, and he paid for it in advance. He did this because he felt sorry for me."

After Lin Xiaoxiao and the others left, she smiled and said, "Teacher, I'm fine. This doctor has a good heart, but he's a bit short-tempered." Compared to Han Qiushi, he's not quite there.

After the young doctor and nurse went out to the office, the young doctor gently lifted his mask with his slender fingers, revealing a stunningly beautiful face, which drew the attention of the nurse next to him.

The nurse thought to herself, "I can't get enough of this face, even if I look at it every day."

The nurse noticed Dr. Chen's sharp gaze, immediately looked away, and started gossiping with him: "This world is really strange. I never thought a student could be more conscientious than my own child."

"I took a look and saw milk powder, pastries, and canned goods. Most people can't afford to go to this level."

"Who are you talking about?" Chen Kang asked while drinking water.

Nurse: "That's Ms. Su, the teacher who just changed our dressing."

Chen Kang was taken aback upon hearing this. "Isn't that her child?"

"No, that was Teacher Su's former student," the nurse explained. Earlier, when Lin Xiaoxiao asked about Su Li's situation, she had asked her about her.
