Li Ying asked directly, and Yan Kuo frowned slightly.
"Dating? I'm not sure what you mean, Dr. Li?"
His daughter is very well-behaved and doesn't know how to make friends.
"They're boyfriend and girlfriend. I think Mr. Yan should pay more attention to your daughter's life."
Yan Kuo was somewhat displeased, feeling that Li Ying, as a doctor, was being a bit too nosy.
Li Ying was indeed meddling in other people's business, but it was something she had to do.
Because she had to be responsible to Leng Ci, who was, after all, her disciple.
"Dr. Li Ying, please!" Yan Kuo did not express his opinion, clearly dissatisfied with Li Ying's suggestion. Li Ying did not mind and followed him to Mrs. Yan's bedroom.
Pushing open the door, the room became much dimmer. Long-term patients take various medications, and the air is filled with the smell of herbs.
A woman in her forties sat on the bed, her face pale and her eyes cloudy.
"Ah Feng, I've brought Dr. Li Ying." Yan Kuo stepped forward and helped the woman named Ah Feng to lean on his shoulder. He then introduced her to Dr. Li Ying, "This is my wife, Ah Feng. Please have Dr. Li Ying examine her."
Li Ying observed Mrs. Yan's appearance and took her pulse, confirming that she had tuberculosis.
There are many cases of this disease. In the past, it might have been incurable, but now it's different. As long as you rest well and follow your doctor's advice, you can recover quickly.
“Your wife’s condition isn’t serious. I’ll prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine for her. We’ll see how it goes after a week, and then I’ll change the prescription.” Li Ying withdrew her hand and glanced at Mrs. Yan again, noticing that the woman’s features bore a striking resemblance to Leng Ci’s.
Could it be such a coincidence?
"Mrs. Yan has been staying at home and hasn't gone out at all?" Li Ying asked.
"Her health has always been poor, and it got worse after giving birth to Liuli, so she hasn't gone out much. Dr. Li, has this affected her condition?" Yan Kuo asked.
"Of course it has an impact. All things grow by the sun, so she needs to get plenty of sunshine. She can't stay at home all the time either. Even a healthy person can get sick if she stays at home for too long, let alone a patient like her. Her family should take good care of her and take her out for walks often, which will help improve her condition," Li Ying advised.
Yan Kuo nodded, then turned to A Feng and said, "Did you hear that? The doctor told me to take you out for walks more often. You can't refuse anymore."
"I don't really like it." Ah Feng's voice was soft, sounding like that of a well-educated and reasonable woman.
"That's just how she is, she doesn't like going out. But since Dr. Li said so, I will follow your advice and take her out more often."
Li Ying nodded.
After returning from the Yan family, Li Ying pondered how to bring up the matter of the Yan family's young lady with Leng Ci. Just as she arrived at the clinic, the police came to the door, saying that Leng Ci had gotten into a fight and had been arrested. Leng Ci had no relatives, and Li Ying was his guardian, so he could only come to Li Ying.
When Li Ying arrived at the police station, Leng Ci was squatting in the corner of the interrogation room, his face covered in injuries.
"Aunt Ying..."
Seeing Li Ying approach, Leng Ci lowered his head, feeling very ashamed.
He was worried that Master Xu would be angry, so he didn't dare to write Master Xu's name. Instead, he wrote Li Ying's name and said that Li Ying was his guardian.
"Don't be afraid, Aunt Ying will bail you out."
Li Ying didn't ask any questions. Only after the bail process was completed did she lead Leng Ci out.
"stop!"
Several young men blocked the two men's way. One of them, a very handsome young man, pointed at Leng Ci arrogantly.
"Kid, I'm warning you, stay away from Yan Liuli from now on! With your looks, you think you can date her? Take a good look at yourself in the mirror..."
Li Ying reached out and pressed down on the young man's arm, and the young man grimaced and cried out, "Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
"Kid, I don't know how your family raised you, but remember this: if you ever dare to lead a group to harass Leng Ci again, I won't let you off the hook!"
"Damn it..." The young man wanted to continue cursing, but Li Ying's silver needles pierced him mercilessly. The young man trembled all over, collapsed to the ground, and could not speak. The others were terrified and rushed forward.
"He's fine, I just gave him an acupuncture, he'll be alright soon. Tell me, what's his name?"
"His name is Wei Dong, he's our boss," one of them said, referring to the young man's name.
"I understand. Once he recovers, tell him not to mess with Leng Ci in the future."
After Li Ying finished speaking, she pulled Leng Ci away.
Back at the clinic, Li Ying asked Yin Shu to treat Leng Ci's facial injuries.
"Oh my goodness, what happened?" Yinshu pulled Leng Ci aside, her eyes filled with heartache.
"I got into a fight," Li Ying briefly explained the situation.
"Fighting is bad, fighting is really bad, don't fight anymore." Yinshu said while busy getting medicine.
Leng Ci glanced at Li Ying; he knew that Aunt Ying was angry.
"Aunt Ying, I didn't really want to fight, it's just that those people are bullying me too much."
“It’s not that they bullied you, it’s that your pride was hurt. That guy named Wei Dong also likes Yan Liuli, and you’re his competitor, but he’s from the capital, and you’re not. That’s why you fought with them, right?” Li Ying pressed.
Leng Ci nodded; Aunt Ying's words were exactly right.
“You’re not from the capital, that’s nothing to be ashamed of. Liking a girl isn’t something to be embarrassed about. Everyone has youthful impulses, but not everyone is worth your impulses,” Li Ying said, stopping there.
Leng Ci touched his mouth and nodded: "I've got it."
Li Ying didn't want to say anything too harsh, since it wasn't her own child, and saying something too harsh could cause psychological harm, which would be terrible.
"Alright, after you've treated him, let him rest at the clinic."
"Okay."
Li Ying didn't really understand love among young people, but young people are too easily impulsive when they are in the midst of naive love.
In the afternoon, when Li Ying went to find Hua Qingqing, she accidentally saw Leng Ci again. The girl he was with was Yan Liuli from the Yan family, which meant that the fool the girl was talking about was Leng Ci.
This is what a "simp" in love is like; he won't understand human nature unless he suffers a severe setback.
Hua Qingqing invited Li Ying to have tea and told her about her cousin Tao Hong's situation, as well as that Old Li's death might be imminent in the next few days.
"It's strange, really. When Old Li was still able to move around, my cousin would lie in bed sighing all the time. But now that Old Li is clearly dying, my cousin has gotten up again and started taking care of the family and arranging Old Li's funeral. Sometimes I wonder if my cousin wants Old Li to live or if she just wants him to die already."
Li Ying was amused by the flowers.
"After living together for a long time, you will get tired of it. That's how people are. When the other person is alive, you wish for them to die. But when they are really dead, you will find that you feel empty inside."
Hua Qingqing thought it made sense.
"By the way, when will Ye Jingchi finish his studies? I have some information about his biological father."
