"Yes, young master." Fang Han nodded.
However, Yin Ruohong is a low-key and mysterious person who has never liked to appear in public.
Even at the auction, he only showed up but did not take a seat, and very few people saw his true face.
"If we invite him in our name, he'll probably be on guard." Huo Zhixing had already thought of this.
"Then...in the Second Master's name?"
"No need." Huo Zhixing smiled. "Just say that Grandpa wants to see him!"
Fang Han was slightly taken aback. "Hmm, that's one way! After all, the old man's prestige is undeniable, and Yin Ruohong can't afford to be disrespectful."
Huo Zhixing smiled, but his expression suddenly turned ugly the next second.
He bent over, his knee joints feeling as if they had been ripped apart, and he cried out in pain.
"Young Master, are you alright?" Fang Han asked, somewhat flustered.
Huo Zhixing immediately gestured for him to keep his voice down, as Jiang Can was still in the kitchen.
"It's nothing." He stretched a bit. "It's an old problem."
"Has the old injury recurred?" Fang Han asked worriedly.
After the plane crash, Huo Zhixing was injured, but otherwise he was fine, except for the lasting effects of the injuries to his legs.
"Well, it's not serious." Huo Zhixing straightened up and said calmly, "The weather has turned cooler recently, and the pain is sometimes quite severe. It will get better once I get used to the climate."
"Should we... see Dr. Shen again?"
Huo Zhixing nodded slightly.
I remember that at that time, his whole body was wrapped in bandages, and it felt like his bones were being torn apart one by one. Several times, the pain was so intense that he felt like he was dying.
Shen Xiao stayed by his side, taking good care of him, completely ignoring his sour face.
Shen Xiao deserves much credit for his recovery.
Moreover, he vaguely remembered that Shen Xiao had given him a medicine that was very effective. Now that his old injury had relapsed, he thought that if he used that medicine again, he might recover quickly.
...
The next day, Huo Zhixing arrived at the Medical Research Institute.
Seeing that Shen Xiao wasn't in the office, he wandered around and ended up seeing Shen Xiao taking a walk with Huo Zhixin in the courtyard.
The two smiled brighter than the sunlight. Shen Xiao held a book and read something to Huo Zhixin, who laughed so hard she almost fell over.
Huo Zhixing finally felt relieved.
The one with that smile is his sister, his little confidante who has followed him around since childhood.
But now it seems that Xiao Zhixin has grown up and probably won't follow him around anymore.
Thinking about it this way, he felt a little disappointed.
Huo Zhixing chuckled self-deprecatingly, just about to stop being a third wheel, when Huo Zhixin noticed him first.
"Brother!" The little girl waved vigorously at him.
He walked over, a smile on his face, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his deep eyes.
"Brother, what brings you here?" Huo Zhixin took his arm. "Where's Sister Jiang Can?"
“She went to work,” Huo Zhixing replied in a low voice.
"She's been so busy lately!" the little girl pouted. "I really want to eat her cranberry cookies!"
"I can make that too. I'll make it as soon as I get home and then bring it to you."
"Big brother, please spare me!" Huo Zhixin's eyes widened. "Is what you made even edible?"
"This little girl dares to look down on me!"
Huo Zhixin giggled, her big eyes curving into crescent moons.
Huo Zhixing looked at her quietly and brushed her bangs up.
This is something they often did when they were kids.
The brother's loving gaze towards his sister was impossible to hide.
Shen Xiao looked at the two of them and smiled, "You two siblings must have something to say, so I won't disturb you any longer."
"Wait a minute!" Huo Zhixing called out to him, turning to look at Huo Zhixin. "Actually, I came to see Dr. Shen today. Zhixin, could you ask the nurse to accompany you back to your room first? I'll come find you after I finish talking with Dr. Shen!"
"Oh!" Huo Zhixin nodded and walked back with the nurse.
Shen Xiao looked at him. "You were looking for me?"
"yes."
Huo Zhixing's expression was serious, his brows furrowing slightly. "I haven't told Cancan about this, so don't tell anyone..."
"What on earth happened?"
"The injury on my leg... has been hurting a bit lately."
Shen Xiao was startled and immediately wanted to take him to the clinic for a thorough examination.
"No need for that." Huo Zhixing patted his shoulder. "It's just an old injury. It's never flared up before, but recently, it hurts a lot when the weather gets cold."
“I remember you gave me a medicine once. Half of it was for oral use and half for external use, and it worked really well… That’s why I came to see you today and wanted to get more.”
Shen Xiao was somewhat embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before remaining silent.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Zhixing was puzzled. Was it so difficult for a doctor to prescribe some medicine?
“Zhixing,” Shen Xiao looked at him, licked his lips, and finally uttered a few words, “Actually, I… I don’t know what kind of medicine it is.”
"What did you say?" Huo Zhixing exclaimed in surprise. "But you were the one who gave me that medicine!"
"I gave it to you, but someone else gave it to you!"
Huo Zhixing was even more puzzled.
Shen Xiao sighed and told the whole truth.
"Zhixing, think about it. Although I graduated from medical school, I hadn't been a doctor for very long back then, and I hadn't even performed a single independent surgery. How could I possibly cure you?"
“I really wanted to heal you, but my abilities were limited… At that time, you were covered in wounds, and the wounds became infected, causing a high fever. You were on the verge of death. I thought you were beyond saving, and that you would be the first patient to die at my hands in my career…”
"Just when I was feeling down, an old man gave me that medicine, saying it could heal my injury. That's when I..."
"Uncle?" Huo Zhixing's eyes flickered.
