The two masters marveled at the deep connection they shared, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

As expected of their apprentice, Shen Zhihuan's medical skills are simply amazing.

"Speaking of which, Sister Zhihuan should have finished her exams and gone home by now!"

As Cheng Xiangling spoke, she took off running outside.

I had already reached the stairwell when I heard her voice drifting over from afar.

"I'll go ask her to come and help right away!"

Song Xunying and Cheng Yuanfang exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh helplessly.

"My youngest daughter is too impulsive; she can run away at any time. Please don't take offense, my parents."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Tian burst into laughter.

"Making friends is a good thing. I see that these three girls get along so well. Maybe they can really become relatives and god-sisters in the future and become a real family."

The Cheng family was overjoyed at this news. If they could really bring Shen Zhihuan into their family, it would be a great blessing for them.

-

The Xie family.

Shen Zhihuan had just returned from her last exam and felt completely relaxed.

While putting away her school supplies, she took out the amulet that was under her pillow, intending to wear it with her at all times.

But upon closer inspection, they discovered that the rope tied to the amulet had broken.

To avoid trouble, Shen Zhihuan kept her amulet at home during the exam days, and as usual, nothing unexpected should have happened.

What's going on today? The rope suddenly broke out of nowhere.

Although she didn't know what had happened, Shen Zhihuan was still terrified when she saw the gaps at both ends of the rope.

Just then, she heard Old Mrs. Xie calling her from inside the courtyard.

To avoid worrying her family, Shen Zhihuan temporarily put the amulet into her pocket, pretended that nothing had happened, and went out.

"What's wrong, Grandma? Is there something you need?"

"Zhihuan, come here quickly."

Grandma Xie beckoned to Chen Zhihuan and called her over, saying happily:

"Your grandfather, Haiyin, and I discussed it, and we all agreed that we should go out to a restaurant for a big meal tonight to celebrate for you."

Shen Zhihuan was being led by the hands of Grandma Xie and Zhao Haiyin, one on each side, and she was both amused and exasperated.

"Grandma, I just took the college entrance exam once, there's no need for such a big ceremony."

Upon hearing this, the Xie family immediately objected.

"That's the college entrance exam! The most important event in one's life!"

"That's right. With Zhihuan's abilities, getting into university is no problem at all. Let's treat today as a family celebration to mark her graduation. Once the official acceptance letter arrives, we'll host a few more tables and invite all our relatives and friends to come and have a good time!"

The Xie family blindly flattered Shen Zhihuan; in their eyes, their own child was always the most amazing.

As she spoke, Grandma Xie and Zhao Haiyin each took one arm of Shen Zhihuan's, and with a smile, led her out.

"Alright, alright, everything's arranged at the restaurant. Zhihuan, just come with us and enjoy some delicious food."

Because they felt sorry for Shen Zhihuan's past experiences, the Xie family always tried to make it up to her in various ways, expressing their love for her in a straightforward manner.

Although Shen Zhihuan was often left speechless with a mix of amusement and exasperation, she was genuinely grateful and touched.

Just as she was about to agree, Cheng Xiangling suddenly ran in.

She had clearly run too fast. Leaning against the wall, she was panting heavily for a long time before she could catch her breath. She looked at the Xie family members in front of her, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then hesitated.

Today is the day Shen Zhihuan just finished her college entrance exam again. If she were to ask her to help at the hospital at this time and make her go through so much trouble, wouldn't that be a bit too unfair?

"Are you going out to eat?"

Cheng Xiangling scratched her head; the impulsive moment of acting rashly had completely subsided.

"I just wanted to see if Sister Zhihuan is back yet. You guys are busy, I'll come to play with her again tomorrow."

After giving a silly smile, she was about to leave as if nothing had happened when Grandma Xie and Zhao Haiyin exchanged a glance and instantly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, Xiangling, don't rush off. Tell your aunt and grandma honestly, did something happen at home when you came to see Zhihuan?"

They did see the Cheng family members walking out these past two days, carrying insulated containers.

They wanted to ask a few questions, but the Cheng family members were always in a hurry, so they couldn't find an opportunity and temporarily put the matter aside.

When Cheng Xiangling came to their door, her expression was clearly off, and the two realized that the trouble in the Cheng family might be more serious than they had imagined.

"Xiangling, is someone in your family... in the hospital?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhihuan's heart sank, and she quickly stepped forward to take Cheng Xiangling's arm.

"I was just thinking of coming to see you today. We're such good friends, why are you being so polite with me? Just tell me what's on your mind."

"Your family matters are just as important to me as my own family matters."

Feeling the deep concern of the Xie family, Cheng Xiangling nodded with tears in her eyes and began to talk about her uncle's situation.

"My uncle was seriously injured in a car accident and was hospitalized. He just came off the operating table and will need to be treated in the observation room for a while..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Zhihuan readily agreed.

"You should have told me about something this big sooner. You can eat anytime; it's not as important as your uncle's health."

She glanced back at Grandpa Xie and Grandma Xie, who nodded in silent support.

Shen Zhihuan smiled and pulled Cheng Xiangling outside.

"I happen to have some free time now, let's go see your uncle."

I never expected Shen Zhihuan to be so warm-hearted and kind.

Last time, Cheng Xiangling said she wanted to recognize her as her god-sister, but she wasn't very confident. However, she didn't expect that Shen Zhihuan would treat her like family.

Cheng Xiangling was so moved that she almost cried her eyes out. She clung to Shen Zhihuan's arm as she walked out, saying all sorts of cute things in a tearful voice.

"Waaah, Sister Zhihuan, how could I possibly be worthy of having such a wonderful sister like you?"

"You've already saved my sister once, and now you're willing to help my uncle. I don't know how to repay such a great kindness."

"I'd do anything for Sister Zhihuan, even be her slave. You must do whatever you want to me, that'll make me feel better."
