"Have the results come out yet?"

Shi Fei stood up from his chair, frowning as he looked at the doctor in front of him.

"It's out." The head doctor handed the stack of test reports to Shi Fei and said, word by word, "The test results are all normal. Shi Jing's body has no problems."

"No problem?" Shi Fei's mind was a bit confused. "His hair is all white and he's still saying there's no problem?"

The doctor adjusted his glasses, his expression serious: "The examination report shows that Shi Jing has no other problems besides irregular sleep patterns. He is very healthy, and even has a bit of excess energy."

"...How...how could this be?" Shi Fei turned to look at the somewhat balding dean. "If he was healthy, why did his hair turn completely white overnight?"

"This..." The dean stammered, unable to give a coherent answer.

Shi Fei: "Did you fail to conduct a thorough inspection? Or is there a problem with your equipment?"

“Impossible.” The doctor said confidently, “We have performed all the tests available in the hospital on Shi Jing. I guarantee there has been no oversight. Moreover, the equipment in the examination room is the latest import from Germany. It is the only set of its kind in the entire country, so there is absolutely no way there could be a problem.”

"Mr. Shi, if you are not confident in our hospital and would like to have the examination done at another hospital, I suggest you take Shi Jing directly to Germany. Because there is no more professional hospital in China than ours."

"Germany?" Shi Fei lowered his eyes.

Doctor: "Yes, Germany. I have a senior colleague who works at Charite Hospital in Germany. That hospital has the best medical standards in Europe. If you're considering going there, Mr. Shi, I can help you get in touch with my senior colleague."

Shi Fei considered for a moment, then winked at his secretary beside him: "Add this doctor's contact information."

Secretary: "Yes, Mr. Shi."

"Where is my son?" Shi Fei asked.

The doctor put away his phone and said with a smile, "Shi Jing went to the restroom and will be out in a bit."

It was already 1 p.m. when I left the hospital with the test results in hand.

Shi Fei looked at Shi Jing's white head with a worried expression and sighed, "Son, let Dad take you to Germany."

"What are you going to Germany for?" Shi Jing asked, frowning in confusion.

Shi Fei said in a low voice, "Go to Germany for a checkup."

"...Do I need to do more tests?" Shi Jing's reluctance was visibly obvious. "I've already had two tests, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong."

Shi Fei: "If there were really no problem, your hair wouldn't have turned white. After all, the medical level in China is limited. Dad wants to take you abroad to try."

"You don't need to hide it from her today. Someone who truly loves you won't leave you over something so small."

“I didn’t mean to hide it from her.” Shi Jing scratched her hair, still holding her phone in one hand, waiting for Zhu Jinchao to reply. “I was thinking about what reason I should give Yang Min to ask for leave so that Chaochao could come to Germany with me.”

"..." Shi Fei rolled her eyes at him, her initial pity for him instantly replaced by exasperation. "I'm so busy every day, I don't have time to go to Germany with you. Can't you be independent and get the checkup done by yourself?"

“No.” Shi Jing said without any ambition, “Going to Germany for a check-up will take at least a week round trip. If I don’t take Chaochao with me, I’ll have to be separated from her for a week! I can’t stand it, I have to be with her every day.”

“…Worthy of nothing.” If he weren’t feeling unwell, Shi Fei would have slapped him on the back of the head.

Shi Jing retorted sarcastically, "You've got guts. Back when you had a nosebleed from a fever, you'd pester my mom to close the shop for a whole day just to stay home and take care of you."

"Hiss... Where did you find out all this?" Shi Fei's face immediately fell.

Shi Jing said smugly, "I found out from my mom's diary. My mom's diary is a thick volume, filled with your embarrassing and pathetic stories!"

"..."

Shi Fei decisively chose to end the topic.

The test results were all good, and the anxiety that had been weighing on his mind all morning finally subsided. He grabbed a quick lunch with Shi Jing and then returned to the company.

Shi Jing went to the company for a while, and then found out about a styling studio with a pretty good reputation in the WeChat group "Brothers, Let's Chop Each Other Up". He then drove there.

With several hours left before Zhu Jinchao's get out of class ended, he had plenty of time, so he made an appointment with a hairstylist to dye all his gray hair.

Although he had said he didn't want to deceive Zhu Jinchao, his hair was so terrible that he was afraid Zhu Jinchao would cry if she saw it. So he thought he would dye his hair first and then casually mention it to her.

It was already 6 PM when Shi Jing finished dyeing her hair. She casually tossed her baseball cap onto the back seat and quickly drove to Qunxing Media to pick up her.

Zhu Jinzhao finished class early today. When Shi Jing's car stopped in front of Qunxing Media, she had already been waiting in the lobby for almost twenty minutes.

Upon receiving Shi Jing's message, she immediately jogged out of the lobby and crouched low like a thief as she got into the car.

"I'm sorry, Chaochao, I'm late." Shi Jing bent down to fasten her seatbelt, then cupped her face and kissed her repeatedly while apologizing.

Zhu Jinzhao smiled and shook her head: "It's okay... Hey! You dyed your hair!"

Shi Jing: "Yeah! How's this color? Does it make me look handsome?"

"You look so handsome!" Zhu Jinzhao reached out and ruffled his hair, completely messing up the hairstyle he had paid for. But he wasn't angry at all; instead, he leaned closer, like a puppy begging for a pat.

"Why did you suddenly dye your hair? Do you think gray hair looks bad?"

“Yes.” Shi Jing grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it affectionately. “I went to the hospital for a check-up today, and the doctor said my gray hair has increased again. The more I look at it, the uglier it looks, so I just dyed it all.”

“Oh…” Zhu Jinzhao nodded, without doubting his words at all. “It’s really strange. He’s perfectly healthy, but his hair has turned white inexplicably. Even the doctor can’t find the cause.”

"Shi Jing, how about we try another hospital? Maybe they can find out the problem there."

Shi Jing: "My dad thinks the same way, so he plans to take her to Germany in a while. Chaochao, you have to come with me. I want you to be with me."

"Okay." Zhu Jinzhao agreed without hesitation. "I'll go with you. Don't be afraid."

"Mmm." Shi Jing's heart softened at her coaxing, and he couldn't help but kiss her on the lips again. "Thank you, Chao Chao."

Zhu Jinzhao touched his face and said sweetly, "You're welcome, let's go home quickly."

Shi Jing: "Okay, let's go home!"

It was already dark when they happily returned to the Ning family home, only to find it completely dark.
