As the last seed fell into the soil, Yu Yuehui gently patted the dirt off her hands and slowly stood up.

At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, outlining a warm silhouette. Looking at the sunset over the distant mountains, Yu Yuehui's lips curled into a smile.

With everything settled, she knew it was time to go home.

Returning to the capital, the familiar city was just as bustling and noisy as when they left.

The afternoon sun poured down on the street without reservation, and the scorching heat seemed to melt everything in the world.

Pedestrians come and go on the streets, bicycles shuttle back and forth, and everything seems so vibrant.

Just then, two young figures appeared in Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui's line of sight.

They were Xie Yan's two young disciples, both descendants of families with a long tradition in traditional Chinese medicine.

However, due to the special social upheaval a few years ago, few of my family members are left.

Although they were later exonerated, their lives were like groping forward in the dark, constantly on edge, like birds startled by the mere sound of a bow, filled with fear at the slightest disturbance.

They carefully concealed their identities, fearing that a single misstep would bring about another unforeseen event.

Until one day, they heard about Xie Yan's clinic.

The clinic was like a beacon of light. They watched as Xie Yan's clinic operated steadily, its reputation growing, yet it remained completely unaffected.

After observing in secret for a long time, they finally relaxed their tense nerves and mustered up the courage to find Xie Yan.

Xie Yan had always wanted to take on apprentices to pass on his medical skills, mainly because he was lazy and didn't want to work at the clinic every day. After carefully testing the character of the two men, he officially accepted them as his apprentices.

These two children are indeed very studious, and even after experiencing unfair treatment, they remain passionate about medicine.

But they were just too enthusiastic. They were truly the kings of scrambling. Not only did they scramble for money themselves, but they also dragged Xie Yan into it, making Xie Yan a little afraid of them.

Whenever they had a spare moment, these two would bombard Xie Yan with all sorts of questions, and as their master, Xie Yan had no choice but to answer them.

He originally intended to take on apprentices to slack off, but ended up being busier than before, which frustrated Xie Yan to no end.

Taking on these two apprentices, who can be called "Kings of Scrolls," has its advantages.

Take this time for example, Xie Yan was away from home for so long, but he didn't have a single worry in his heart.

He was very clear about the abilities of his two apprentices. These two were already qualified to graduate. He knew very well that as long as they didn't encounter extremely difficult or troublesome patients, they could definitely handle all the affairs of the clinic properly.

Even if you encounter a serious illness like yours, don't worry, there's always Master Shi, you can ask him for help if you need anything!

Of course, the benefits of taking on apprentices are not limited to this.

Before leaving, Xie Yan confidently handed over his car keys to his eldest apprentice. And this reliable apprentice did not disappoint his master's trust, arriving early in Xie Yan's beloved car to pick him up.

Xie Yan spotted the familiar car at a glance. Under the sunlight, the car body gleamed and looked spotless.

His hand instantly felt like it had been scratched, incredibly itchy, and a voice inside him screamed: Drive back, drive back myself!

But someone beat him to it. Chao Chao strode forward, smiling at Ye Huisheng, "Brother Huisheng, I'll give you a ride back."

Ye Huisheng: "..."

She looked helplessly at her master.

My master's look just now clearly meant he wanted me to open it.

So, should we give them the key?

Xie Yan looked at his daughter, who was smiling at him, and waved his hand helplessly, "Let her drive!"

Anyway, school starts soon, and the car won't be his by then.

Having received the promise, Chaochao happily caught it and tossed it into the air. The key drew a circle in the air and landed back in her hand. She then raised her arm and called for everyone to get in the car.

Yu Yuehui and Xie Yan exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

They had no choice but to accept their daughter, who was so eccentric and immature.

But Yangyang didn't think her older sister was being childish at all. Instead, she looked at her with admiration, which only fueled Chaochao's arrogance. Her childish side kicked in, and she did a few more difficult moves.

The others laughed at this, and the group chatted and laughed all the way home.

Night falls and the city lights come on.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Xie Yan opened the door and saw Gu Bin standing at the door with a large bag of lunch boxes, and Zhang Linghui standing behind him, with a little sweat on their foreheads.

Facing the heatwave they brought, Xie Yan stepped back slightly and joked with a smile, "I'm a little slow today!"

"I'm starving!"

Gu Bin glared at him irritably, then turned around and looked behind him, saying, "Look who's here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar figure walked out from behind.

It was Gu Che!

Xie Yan's eyes widened in surprise, somewhat incredulous. Gu Che had done an excellent job of keeping it a secret; not a single word had leaked out before he suddenly appeared. Startled, her voice rose two octaves, "When did you arrive?"

Gu Che smiled slightly and glanced at Xie Yan, "I definitely arrived earlier than you!"

Hearing the noise, Yu Yuehui ran out and saw Zhang Shiyu behind Gu Che. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she ran over like a child, hugging Zhang Shiyu tightly. Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, "Ahhhhh~ Shiyu, Shiyu, why didn't you tell me you were coming!"

"Do you know how sad I was when I came home and none of you were there?"

Zhang Shiyu gently patted Yu Yuehui's back, her smile as bright as the spring sun, "I wanted to surprise you after learning about your great contributions, but I didn't expect you to still be here."

"I visited Cherry in Shanghai a while ago, and she's become incredibly stylish."

"You even asked me to bring you some good stuff!"

"Really?" Yu Yuehui's eyes lit up. Resisting the urge to check the gift right now, she took Zhang Shiyu's hand and quickly walked into the house. "Come on, come on in."

After walking a few steps, he remembered Gu Che beside him, turned around and said with a smile, "Master, you guys hurry up too."

After saying that, he quickly walked into the house.

Several mature adults left, leaving Chaochao, Tongtong, and a little girl with pigtails staring at each other.

In the end, it was the little master, Chaochao, who stepped forward and beckoned Tongtong and the two of them to lead the little girl into the house.

The little girl wasn't shy at all and accepted being abandoned by her parents. With her big, curious eyes, she looked around at the unfamiliar yet warm environment, her eyes revealing a hint of shyness and excitement.

As the group approached the door, they heard cheerful laughter coming from inside the house.
