The light in the bathroom was bright. The young and tender face in the mirror had a little baby fat. The wet hair covered half of the eyes. The originally small and well-behaved appearance was obscured by the hair on the forehead, and the whole person looked listless.

Chen Qizhao looked at himself in the mirror, taking in his current appearance, and the feeling of rebirth became more and more real. He casually recalled that in his early years he did look like this, with a vulnerable appearance and weak and frail. Later on, he ran around cleaning up the mess, and the fat on his face was gone, and only then did he barely look a bit majestic.

The hair is too long.

I don’t know what got me thinking when I was 18 years old and decided to do this hairstyle.

Soon, he withdrew his gaze, glanced at the tool cabinet in the sink, found a pair of scissors, and neatly cut off the hair that was blocking his eyes.

After cutting his hair, he washed his face, picked up a hat from the cloakroom and put it on, then went downstairs.

The weather was fine today. When Chen Qizhao went downstairs, Chen Shiming was gone. Chen Jianhong has been away on a business trip recently. Without Chen Shiming, the house is a little quieter, with only him and Zhang Yazhi.

Zhang Yazhi had already made an appointment with a doctor to examine Chen Qizhao yesterday, and Chen Qizhao asked her to fast and not drink water, saying that he was accompanying her for the physical examination. She knew her child's temper, and she was afraid that the child would get angry and refuse to be checked, so she agreed to accompany him.

The two arrived at the hospital.

Chen Qizhao asked the nurse to get a list and fill in Zhang Yazhi's information. Without saying anything, he made a decision for her: "I have checked all the items that can be done for you."

Zhang Yazhi was slightly stunned when she saw this: "Why are there so many?"

"Not much." Chen Qizhao showed her his medical examination form, "The time is about the same. You have to wait for me anyway. I have done everything I can."

"It's almost noon after all this." Zhang Yazhi looked down at her phone, "I'm not going back for lunch."

The physical examination process takes a lot of time, and some items require a few more days to get the report. Chen Qizhao's project was faster than Zhang Yazhi's. When he arrived at the doctor's office, Dr. Li held up the electrocardiogram and explained to him: "It looks normal at the moment, but young people should stay up less late and maintain a regular schedule."

Of course Chen Qizhao knew that there was nothing wrong with his health, as he was the longest-lived one in the Chen family.

He put his report aside and asked, "Where's my mom? Is there anything wrong with her?"

Seeing that he was not concerned about his own condition and asked questions about Zhang Yazhi's physical examination, the doctor patiently explained to him: "At present, there are some minor problems, but it is normal for Ms. Zhang to have some minor problems at this age. This can be adjusted and it is not a big problem."

Chen Qizhao frowned slightly: "What about the other things? Is there any problem with her liver?"

"From the current report, there is no major problem." The doctor noticed Chen Qizhao's face and said, "Are you worried about your mother's health? Don't worry, your mother is still very healthy."

Chen Qizhao's face didn't look very good.

Zhang Yazhi was diagnosed with a problem three years later. Chen Qizhao thought that if she had a health problem, the earlier it was discovered, the earlier the disease could be controlled. Judging from the time, it should be around this time. It may take more than ten years, several years or even months for cancer to develop from its early stage to its late stage, but Zhang Yazhi behaved normally and was still in good health...

"But you guys are doing a comprehensive physical examination, so it would be more accurate to discuss all the results together." The doctor continued, "There are still a few reports that haven't come out yet. It should take about half an hour. Please sit down and wait for the nurse to print them out before we talk."

Chen Qizhao listened in the clinic for a while and said he felt a little bored so he went out for a walk.

The hospital was all white, with doctors and nurses hurrying back and forth, and the voices of other patients could be heard in the corridor.

He felt his pocket out of habit, but when he didn't feel any cigarette, he withdrew his hand.

Forgot, he doesn't smoke at this time.

If the results of the examination are inconsistent with the time he inferred, he can only shorten the physical examination cycle.

It’s okay to have a physical examination once a year. The Chen family has a health check every year. It’s no problem to add a few more items to the annual physical examination. Zhang Yazhi has always been indulgent towards his requests. But once the physical examination cycle is shortened, Zhang Yazhi will definitely ask.

Chen Qizhao was not afraid of Zhang Yazhi's questions, he had many excuses to fool her.

But he was afraid that Zhang Yazhi would find it troublesome and refuse to do it. After all, a physical examination is time-consuming and laborious.

The distance they walked was a bit far, and Chen Qizhao was thinking about something and accidentally walked away from the door of the clinic, and just walked into the more lively hall. He glanced at the app on his phone and saw that the report message had not popped up yet, so he planned to go to another clinic to find Zhang Yazhi first.

Just as he reached the corner of the hall, he suddenly heard a shrill cry.

Chen Qizhao frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a man dragging a little girl at the door of a clinic in the corner. The girl was holding on to the rest chair outside the clinic and refused to leave, crying very loudly.

The man said, "Be obedient, baby. Dad will take you to get the injection. After that, we will go back, okay?"

The little girl looked to be about four or five years old. She was crying breathlessly, her words were unclear, and she kept shouting for her mother.

There are many children in the hospital, and crying is common.

Passersby waiting for the doctor to see the patient couldn't help but say, "You hugged the child and coaxed him, and gave him some candy to trick him. Children don't like injections, so you can't just do that."

The man smiled and said he knew, but he was still dragging the little girl with great strength in his hands.

Chen Qizhao was originally planning to walk to the left, but after noticing the man's movements, he glanced at the clinic sign and changed direction to walk towards the man.

The people around saw the "father" finally pull the child's hand off the chair, but they didn't expect a young man to walk straight up to the man and grab his hand without saying a word.

The man exclaimed: "What are you doing!"

"It's strange. Most of the clinics here are gynecology clinics. Why do you, a man, bring your child here for a checkup? Bring your child for an injection? If I remember correctly, the pediatric clinic should be in the opposite direction." Chen Qizhao applied force with his fingertips. The sudden force made the man loosen his hand. The little girl he was holding spread her legs and ran away, crying and calling for her mother.

The man looked at the situation around him and his face gradually became sinister: "What kind of checkup I take my child for is none of your business? Let me go."

"I can't control it, but I suspect you're a human trafficker." Chen Qizhao didn't show it on his face, and tightened his grip on the man's wrist a little more. "Since you brought the child here for a checkup, where's the medical card? What number do you want to register? Let's take a look."

After saying that, he looked at the people next to him and said, "Please help me call the doctor and nurse."

The people around reacted immediately and called for doctors and nurses.

Seeing this, the man began to panic, his eyes avoided, and he tried his best to let go of Chen Qizhao's hand. Seeing that he couldn't pull it open at once and the nurse was called over, he immediately pulled out a scalpel from his clothes with his other hand.

"careful!"

There was an exclamation from all around, and just as the scissors were about to stab the young man, a muffled sound was heard the next moment.

Although the young man looked thin and weak, his hands were extremely powerful. He clamped the opponent's wrist and turned it over, reducing the opponent's strength and slamming the man directly against the wall.

At this time, several passers-by who heard the noise came over to help. Some helped to hold down the man, while others took away the scalpel.

With more people, they subdued the man in no time. Chen Qizhao let go of his hand and stepped back, watching the hospital security guards rush over and hold the person down. The little girl had already been protected by the nurses.

In the excitement, someone picked up his hat and said, "Your hat fell off, and your hand is bleeding, you may need to treat it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qizhao lowered his head and saw that his clothes had been torn and there was a big cut on his arm, with blood dripping on the floor of the hospital corridor.

The nurse next to her said, "Come here, I'll help you take care of your wound."

Chen Qizhao had just taken the hat and was called away by a nurse before he had time to say thank you.

Chen Shiming received a message from Zhang Yazhi, saying that they could have dinner together when she was free after get off work.

When he asked, he found out that Chen Qizhao and Zhang Yazhi had gone out for a physical examination today.

The voice on the phone continued. It seemed that Zhang Yazhi had just finished the examination and was about to get the report. She said, "I told Zhao Zhao that it wasn't that troublesome, so he filled out the medical examination form and just finished it now. I don't know where he went. Have you been to the hospital?"

"We're here. I'll go to Dr. Li in a bit." Chen Shiming had just gotten out of the car and asked his assistant to wait in the parking lot. As they walked, he said to Zhang Yazhi, "It would be good to have a physical examination. You declined the examination at the beginning of the year because of work."

After saying that, Chen Shiming hung up the phone.

He didn't think that Chen Qizhao was the kind of person who would take the initiative to come to the hospital for a physical examination if he felt unwell. It would be more likely if his mother brought him here. But from what he heard on the phone, it was Chen Qizhao who took the initiative to bring up the physical examination. Not only that, he also dragged Zhang Yazhi to have the examination together.

The elevator had just arrived at the lobby, and Chen Shiming had just taken a few steps outside when he suddenly noticed a unique bustle in the lobby.

Several policemen were pushing people past him, and there was a mother holding her child and wiping her tears.

He had not taken a few steps when he suddenly saw a man walking out of a clinic in front of him.

Chen Qizhao had just finished treating his wound when he received a call from Zhang Yazhi. Not long after he walked away, he saw a big wall in front of him. Chen Shiming had a cold face and stared straight at his hand.

It was summer, and he was only wearing a light-colored thin jacket when he went out. He rolled up his sleeves to make it easier to bandage, and now he was wrapped in several layers of medical bandages, which, combined with his red-dyed clothes, was particularly eye-catching.

Zhang Yazhi: "I have already got the report. Your brother said he would come to pick us up. He should be here soon."

Chen Qizhao met Chen Shiming's gaze and said calmly, "I know. I saw him."

He hung up the phone and said to Chen Shiming: "What a coincidence, you just arrived?"

"Unfortunately." Chen Shiming said coldly: "Chen Qizhao, if I had seen you a few hours later, would your arm have been disabled directly?"

"My hands are not made of paper..." Chen Qizhao had just said half of his words when he suddenly saw a young boy standing not far behind Chen Shiming.

The boy was wearing a black jacket and silver-framed glasses, and he looked tall and strong.

As if noticing Chen Qizhao's gaze, he nodded slightly in greeting and quickly looked away.

Chen Shiming started lecturing Chen Qizhao as soon as he caught him. After he had said a few words, he suddenly realized that the boy standing in front of him had his head slightly lowered, not looking at him, and hadn't said a word for most of the time.

Chen Qizhao's skin was originally pale. He had skipped breakfast in the morning because of the physical examination and was slightly injured, so he looked pale. At this time, a nurse passed by and kindly gave Chen Qizhao some advice when she saw him. Only then did Chen Shiming know how Chen Qizhao got the injury.

But Chen Qizhao didn't explain to him, or didn't want to explain to him.

In the past, when it came to things like being brave and righteous, Chen Shiming would not have associated this term with his heartless brother who only cared about causing trouble. He was silent for a while, thinking about Chen Qizhao and Zhang Yazhi coming to the hospital. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he seemed to feel that Chen Qizhao was a little different.

Seeing the pale Chen Qizhao in front of him, Chen Shiming's tone relaxed a little: "You are really good at being brave and getting injured. Where are you injured? Have you gone for a check-up?"

When Chen Qizhao came to his senses, he heard Chen Shiming asking about his well-being. He had never heard Chen Shiming speak so kindly since he was reborn. He looked up at him in surprise and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

Chen Shiming: “?”

He was puzzled: "I went to work in the morning."

Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes slightly, and saw the boy gradually walking away from the corner of his eye. He turned his gaze back to Chen Shiming, "No, I think you need to drink a few glasses of wine to say such things in broad daylight."
