"Is the check-up complete?"
When the two finished their check-up, Wen Xingyue obediently held her water cup and sat on the stool like a primary school student, waiting without looking around or running around.
"Um."
Upon seeing her, Huo Tingxiao's expression softened.
"Sister-in-law, Tingxiao's leg injury is my fault." Compared to his previous resistance to Wen Xingyue, Xu Zezhi's attitude was now much better.
He lowered his head, looking somewhat ashamed.
"It's okay, it's okay, you don't need to blame yourself," Wen Xingyue quickly comforted her.
Xu Zezhi doesn't need to feel guilty. Western medicine isn't advanced enough to treat Huo Tingxiao's leg condition in its later stages. The only way to treat Huo Tingxiao's leg is to try traditional Chinese medicine, but a doctor capable of treating Huo Tingxiao's leg hasn't appeared yet. No matter how guilty Xu Zezhi feels, there's no cure.
Xu Zezhi studied Western medicine, so he couldn't do anything about Huo Tingxiao's leg.
Xu Zezhi: It felt like my heart had been stabbed hard.
In Huo Tingxiao's original life trajectory, Xu Zezhi, unable to cure Huo Tingxiao's leg, devoted himself day and night to research and treatment, ultimately ruining his own health. It's fair to say that Xu Zezhi's subsequent miserable life was partly due to Huo Tingxiao's influence.
The two people: ? ? ?
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then quietly pricked up their ears to listen to what she had to say.
Wen Xingyue continued to mutter to herself.
Because Huo Tingxiao's leg was crippled, Xu Zezhi devoted himself to researching and treating Huo Tingxiao's leg, and didn't care much about his own marriage, which is why he was cheated on in the end.
Although he later discovered a cure for Huo Tingxiao's leg too late, his kindness to Huo Tingxiao was unparalleled.
Huo Tingxiao was filled with mixed emotions and glanced at the person next to him unexpectedly.
Thinking about how he hadn't been able to sleep at night and had been flipping through medical books every night, Xu Zezhi's expression became somewhat unnatural.
He was already upset because Wen Xingyue said again that she had been cheated on, but now, feeling the gaze of the person next to him, he forced a flush of embarrassment and raised an eyebrow at Huo Tingxiao with an air of arrogance, as if to say, "Look how good I am to you, because of you I've been cheated on too."
In his later years, because he had studied day and night too much when he was young, he had exhausted his body's energy and blood, so his health deteriorated. He was so angry that he suffered a high blood pressure attack, collapsed, and died.
When Huo Tingxiao found out, he collected his body, gave him a grand funeral, and dealt swiftly with his wife who had cheated on him, as well as his son who had been born out of wedlock and wanted to seize Xu Zezhi's property.
After handling everything, Huo Tingxiao, sitting alone in his high position late at night, often thought back to this good brother who had always cared for him.
Huo Tingxiao also glanced at Xu Zezhi and said, "See? I'm the one who collected your body after you died."
Xu Zezhi glared back angrily: He died because of him, isn't it normal for him to collect his body?
Wen Xingyue glanced at the person with a guilty expression.
Wow, is this what brotherhood is like among humans?
It seems Huo Tingxiao cares a lot about this good brother. Should I help him out?
He's dead. Huo Tingxiao must be heartbroken, right?
Huo Tingxiao is so good to me, and if he's sad, the little peach blossom spirit will also be unhappy.
Moreover, Xu Zezhi was a good person, and his abilities were beyond question. Although Huo Tingxiao couldn't use the method he developed later due to the long delay, he selflessly contributed the method, benefiting many people. He was a good person.
Wen Xingyue pondered this in her heart, looking at Xu Zezhi with a conflicted expression.
Xu Zezhi was a little excited, never expecting himself to become so great.
[Right now, I can only tell that his marriage is troubled, but I can't figure out who's causing the trouble. I'll only be able to tell once that person appears and comes into contact with Xu Zezhi...]
Xu Zezhi: I can't be happy.
He's determined to find the person who made his marriage unhappy!
Wen Xingyue yawned, feeling a little sleepy.
She got up a little early today and was a bit sleepy.
I'm so sleepy, I miss my big bed at home. I don't know how much longer it will be before I can leave.
"The checkup is finished. It's getting late, so we'll head back now. Come visit us more often when you have time."
Seeing that she was tired, Huo Tingxiao didn't intend to stay any longer and patted her shoulder heavily.
"Don't worry, definitely. I'll come visit you whenever I'm not working. I hope you won't mind if I bother you." Understanding what he meant, Xu Zezhi smiled and then looked at Wen Xingyue somewhat embarrassedly.
He decided that until he caught the person who had cheated on him, he would bother them as much as possible.
"No, you're here to keep Huo Tingxiao company. He's bored at home all by himself." Wen Xingyue was naturally not unhappy.
Xu Zezhi often comes to my house, so if he comes into contact with someone, I can notice it in time and then find a way to remind him.
Wen Xingyue was just wondering how to help Xu Zezhi, and now that he was willing to come to her house, it couldn't be better for Wen Xingyue, who didn't want to go out except to eat.
"Is the check-up finished? Can we go home now?"
Wen Xingyue suddenly remembered what Huo Tingxiao had just said and looked at him expectantly.
"The checkup is done, let's go home." Huo Tingxiao nodded.
"Come on, come on, I'll take you downstairs." Xu Zezhi eagerly reached out and pushed Huo Tingxiao's wheelchair, preparing to take the two of them downstairs.
"Dr. Xu, a patient is looking for you..."
Suddenly, the nurse's voice came from outside.
"This..." Xu Zezhi looked at the two of them somewhat embarrassed.
"It's okay, you go ahead and do your work. We're going back now too. Come over to our house sometime!"
Wen Xingyue pushed the wheelchair away from him, waved casually, and invited him to her home in common human language.
...
"Huo Tingxiao, Little Fatty mentioned that a milk tea shop opened across from the hospital..."
As the two left the hospital, Wen Xingyue, who was steadily pushing Huo Tingxiao, suddenly slowed down.
As soon as Wen Xingyue left the hospital, she spotted a shop with a long queue across the street.
"Let's go buy it then."
Huo Tingxiao looked up and saw the person above him already eyeing a bustling shop across the street with longing. He interrupted her with a smile.
"Yay, yay!"
Wen Xingyue was instantly energized and pushed him quickly toward the milk tea shop across from the hospital.
The hospital was far from the Huo family's home, and the two of them didn't come to the hospital to visit unless something was wrong.
The two walked over and looked closely; the sign above the door read: Lingyue Milk Tea.
A blackboard stood outside the door, listing the types of milk tea: taro ball milk tea / grass jelly / pearl milk tea / red bean milk tea / double-skin milk pudding, bayberry juice, orange juice, iced glutinous rice balls...
There were many more varieties than Little Fatty had told them before.
Wen Xingyue pushed Huo Tingxiao to queue up. Because injured people are often seen outside the hospital, Huo Tingxiao, who was in a wheelchair, did not attract much attention.
Inside the store, there was a staff member at the front desk who took orders, while behind him stood another staff member wearing a hat and a mask, who was quickly making milk tea.
The size of this store was unlike any other store Wen Xingyue had ever seen; it was novel and eye-catching.
