Hua Xiaolou followed Ye Qingqing and the others out of the dormitory, and went downstairs amidst envious and jealous glances.
"I'm sorry I'm late," Hua Xiaolou said softly, her face full of apology.
"It's not your fault, let's go!" Ye Qingqing smiled slightly.
It was obvious that Du Peiran was deliberately making things difficult for Hua Xiaolou. Du Peiran was generous with money, and compared to Hua Xiaolou, who was so poor that she could only wear patched clothes, she was naturally more popular in the dormitory. Once he gave orders, who would dare to help Hua Xiaolou?
At most, I'll adopt a neutral stance, like the male classmates before me, avoiding them and not getting involved.
Ruan Yingzi glared at Hua Xiaolou with exasperation. Hua Xiaolou was even more delicate than Lin Daiyu, no wonder Du Peiran and his gang treated him like dirt. As a man, to live to Hua Xiaolou's level was truly humiliating.
There are many people in the family who come to see the doctor. Ye Mingcheng's clinic is not set up in the living room, but in the yard. He sets up a small shed, a table, and a few chairs. Every day, many people come to see the doctor, and the income is quite good.
Ye Mingcheng calculated that after covering the tuition and living expenses of his children, he could still have a little surplus each month, which he could save to prepare dowries for his two daughters. Therefore, Ye Mingcheng was very satisfied with his current life and was full of energy every day.
"Dad, this is my classmate Hua Xiaolou," Ye Qingqing introduced.
Ye Mingcheng could tell from Hua Xiaolou's expression that the child had a serious illness and came from a very poor family.
"Come in and sit down. We'll have dinner at home tonight. I bought a lot of groceries. Tangyuan will be ready soon. Lu Mo and Tiedan, come over for dinner too," Ye Mingcheng said with a smile.
Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up immediately, and she dragged Hua Xiaolou to the living room, wanting to take her pulse again.
Hua Xiaolou smiled politely at Ye Mingcheng and followed him to the living room. Ye Mingcheng shook his head behind him. This child was really handsome, but his health was too poor. He walked unsteadily and was obviously weak.
Ye Qingqing tested Hua Xiaolou for several minutes, but the result was still the same as before: a heart problem. She frowned. If it was a heart problem, why hadn't her treatment been effective after so long?
Hua Xiaolou's eyes flickered, and she said softly, "I... a famous doctor once examined me and said that my illness was not incurable, but it lacked a medicinal ingredient."
Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "What kind of medicinal ingredient?"
Hua Xiaolou hesitated for a long time before shaking her head and saying, "I'd better not say anything. This kind of medicinal ingredient doesn't exist at all. The miracle doctor must be lying to me."
Not only Ye Qingqing, but even Ruan Yingzi's curiosity was piqued by him, and they all urged Hua Xiaolou to tell them quickly.
"Actually, I still don't understand what the miracle doctor was talking about. He said it was a kind of spiritual energy, invisible and odorless, but it could bring people back to life..." Hua Xiaolou said while secretly observing Ye Qingqing.
Ruan Yingzi scoffed, "You're reading those charlatans, aren't you? It's all nonsense. You think this is about cultivating immortality and spiritual energy?"
Hua Xiaolou's eyes remained fixed on Ye Qingqing as she gave an awkward laugh. "That divine doctor is truly amazing. He cured many difficult and complicated diseases. He said that this kind of spiritual energy is attached to something, which could be water, some kind of medicinal herb, or something else..."
Ye Qingqing's heart stirred. She thought of the spiritual spring at Tie Dan's house and the spiritual dew in her space. These all matched what Hua Xiaolou had said. Could it be that the missing ingredient was the spiritual dew?
