All-around doctor Rong Sheng, after being brought to ancient times by a system, was as busy as a spinning top treating illnesses.
She was too tired and wanted to go home to leisurely farm.
This little brat was so mean to him when he met him on the street before. He helped the siblings chase away the bad guys, but didn't get a single word of thanks. He even got scolded for trying to take the sister to the clinic out of kindness. Now, he's clinging to his leg like he's someone important.
"No! I have to leave! Because you have an injured sister to take care of, and I also have a younger brother who has just recovered from a serious illness to take care of! We both have family members who need to be taken care of and protected, so how can you bear to force me to stay here and ignore my brother's life or death? If your sister finds out, she won't be happy, will she?" Rong Hua said patiently and kindly.
Little Carrot Head still refused to let go, his eyes filled with unwavering determination, as if Rong Hua were his strong and unyielding support.
"Big brother, don't go! Don't go!" Little Radish Head pleaded with pleading eyes, "Please, don't go!"
If you leave, these people will take him back to the village before your sister returns. When your sister wakes up and doesn't see him, she will worry about him. It doesn't matter if something happens to you, she doesn't want to implicate your sister.
My uncle's family are not good people. They have been trying to sell my sister for money ever since she grew up.
Rong Hua frowned: "Little brat, I really have to leave here. My little brother is waiting for me at home."
Seeing this, Xu came over and said, "Little friend, don't stop your older brother from going home. He has to go home. Why don't you come to Auntie's? Auntie will wait with you for your sister to wake up, okay?"
Little Radish Head shook his head: "Oh no!"
But he didn't say why it was bad; he just clung tightly to Ronghua's thighs with both hands and wouldn't let go.
Ronghua was completely exasperated by the little rascal. He looked helplessly at Madam Xu and said, "Mother, look at this..."
Helpless, Madam Xu glanced at the female doctor in the ward and thought for a moment: "Eldest son, why don't you stay? He won't let you leave. Your fourth brother is home alone. I'm worried about you staying. I'll go back first! After you've calmed this child down, go back and let me come back! The clothes I made for Sheng Bao aren't finished yet. It's getting colder and colder, and I don't want Sheng Bao to get cold."
Ronghua glanced speechlessly at the little boy clinging tightly to her leg: "Mom, thank you for making the trip. I'll go back as soon as I can!"
Xu went home in Ronghua's place, while Ronghua stayed behind and stared blankly at Xiao Luobotou. Ronghua asked Xiao Luobotou why he wouldn't let him leave, but Xiao Luobotou refused to answer, biting his lip tightly as if it had been sewn shut.
When Rong Sheng finished attending to the patient receiving an IV drip, she saw Rong Hua and Little Carrot Head sitting together, staring at each other. For some reason, Rong Sheng saw an eerie harmony between them, as if they were meant to be this way, as if Rong Hua had transformed into a white-clad angel, protecting the pitiful little brat. No, more accurately, like a father protecting his child.
Holy crap!! This is an absolutely mind-blowing idea!!
But then Rong Sheng remembered that the system said the girl in the ward was her future sister-in-law and this little boy was her younger brother, that is, her older brother's brother-in-law. So, with this kind of immersion, the image of the father and child seemed less profound than before.
Rong Sheng came to Rong Hua's side and asked about the situation, because she knew that Rong Hua was going home, but instead she sat there and didn't leave. Wasn't she worried about Fourth Brother?
As a result, Rong Sheng learned from Rong Hua that this little brat wouldn't let him leave and clung tightly to his leg, so he had no choice but to stay.
"Then, brother, please take good care of this child. Before his sister wakes up, go find Steward Yuan and ask him to prepare hot water for him to wash off the dirt. Otherwise, once his sister wakes up, the bacteria on his body will spread to her. After that, you all wait here. If you need anything, go find Steward Yuan or the female doctor for help. I can't help right now; I have patients who need treatment!"
"Shengbao, don't worry about getting treatment. Your big brother knows what to do!"
"That's good!" Rong Sheng glanced at the little radish head with amusement, then went to find the next patient to be treated in the operating room, had them drink the anesthetic, and sent them to the ward. Once the anesthetic took effect, he would be sent to the system hospital to begin the surgery.
Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Su Wenlan watched Rong Mu busily moving among the guests, serving them tea and water, and taking notes on their menus, all with a smile on his face, showing no impatience whatsoever. No matter what kind of guest he encountered, even those who were difficult to him, Rong Mu never showed any sign of impatience.
Instead, the guests were treated as the most honored guests, making them feel a strong sense of respect. As a result, many guests asked Rong Mu to order food, and Su Wenlan couldn't even say a word to Rong Mu.
With a helpless pout, Su Wenlan sat at the counter, utterly bored, watching Rong Mu come and go.
For some reason, at this moment, Su Wenlan seemed to see an indomitable and fearless light in Rong Mu. That light was so dazzling that it instantly entered her heart. So her eyes followed Rong Mu without blinking. No matter what Rong Mu did, what he said, or what expression he showed on his face, it all silently seeped into her heart.
Finally, after all the guests had ordered and the dishes had been served, Rong Mu had a little time to rest.
Su Wenlan quickly invited Rong Mu to sit on a chair behind the counter for a while. As waiters, they were not allowed to go behind the counter, but when the young lady of Xiaoxiang Pavilion called for someone, who dared to stop her and who could refuse?
So Rong Mu approached the counter hesitantly, but instead of going inside, he pulled his chair to the edge of the counter, keeping his distance so as not to disturb the shopkeepers.
"Miss Su, is there something you need from me?" Rong Mu asked with a smile.
Su Wenlan stared intently at Rong Mu's smile and said, "It's nothing else, I just wanted to ask about your sister, Miss Rong Sheng. She promised to remove the dark spots on my face, but I don't know when she'll be able to. I didn't want to rush things, but it's almost late autumn, and we should be going home soon. So I wanted to ask Young Master Rong Mu to ask Miss Rong Sheng when she feels she has enough time to remove the dark spots on my face."
Rong Mu nodded knowingly. Women dress up for those who appreciate them; what woman doesn't love beauty? Having worked at Xiaoxiang Pavilion for some time, he had already heard that the dark spots on Su Wenlan's face were not congenital, but rather appeared later in life.
She used to be a stunning beauty, but because of her dark spots and body odor, she became very self-conscious and left home to hide in Wenhong County.
I don't like to go out for walks on weekdays, for fear of being laughed at.
“Miss Su, I will ask Sheng Bao when I get home tonight to see when he can remove the dark spots. If he tells me the time, I will definitely tell you tomorrow so that you can go to Huimin Medical Clinic!” Rong Mu said.
