Watching A-Yuan's cheerful figure, Kang Kang shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly. This "little tail" that fell from the sky... doesn't seem so troublesome after all?

From then on, the handsome and skilled doctor had a diligent, quiet young apprentice named A-Yuan by his side, whose eyes always followed him. When Kang Kang saw patients, she would quietly hand him tools and pack herbs; when Kang Kang gathered herbs, she would follow closely behind with her bamboo basket, carefully identifying the herbs he pointed out; when Kang Kang refused to accept fees from the poor, she would quietly give away her own saved food to the emaciated children. Occasionally, when Kang Kang turned around, he would meet her bright, sparkling eyes, filled with adoration and affection.

One day, Kang Kang set the leg of an elderly farmer who had broken it, his technique precise and skillful. Afterwards, the farmer and his family were extremely grateful. As usual, Kang Kang didn't accept any payment, only giving them some instructions. A Yuan handed him a clean cloth to wipe his hands.

On the way back to the carriage, the setting sun cast long shadows of the two men. A-Yuan followed half a step behind Kang Kang and suddenly whispered, "My benefactor, you are truly amazing."

Kang Kang didn't stop walking, only giving a faint "hmm".

Ah Yuan, however, seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, her voice filled with a sweet smile: "Look at that old man's family, how grateful they are to you. You're like...like a living bodhisattva from a story! When I'm with you, all I see are good people, all smiling faces. It's so much better than...than what I've seen before."

Kang Kang paused slightly, glancing at her sideways. The golden rays of the setting sun fell on her upturned face, and her eyes, which always held a hint of timidity, were now filled with pure joy and light, as if brimming with starlight. A slight stirring stirred in his heart, and his voice unconsciously softened: "It's just a doctor's duty. In this world, there are always more good people than bad."

“Yes!” A Yuan nodded vigorously, her smile bright. “I know! Because my benefactor is the best person ever!” She quickened her pace to walk alongside Kang Kang, secretly glancing at his handsome profile, and whispered, “Being able to follow my benefactor is the greatest blessing of my life…”
