Early morning.
A little after one o'clock!
Su Zhengnan lay in bed and chatted with Liu Yifei for more than an hour before the two reluctantly closed their phones and went to sleep.
This was the first time Su Zhengnan had stayed up this late before going to sleep.
But it doesn't matter.
Staying up late occasionally won't kill him, nor will it affect his daily health regimen.
On the other side, Liu Yifei put away her phone but couldn't fall asleep. It felt like Su Zhengnan's image was constantly in her mind, and she couldn't shake it off no matter what she did.
Liu Yifei, experiencing love for the first time, was no different from any other girl.
At this moment, she was just like any other girl with a love-struck mind, wishing she could see the man she was holding hands with 24 hours a day.
This feeling of missing someone made Liu Yifei feel as if she were immersed in an endless ocean, far more wonderful than the romance she had imagined, and seemingly unlike the feeling she had when she played other people's lovers in movies.
..............
The next day.
The weather outside was pretty good on Saturday.
The climate during Grain Rain is relatively mild, with warm sunshine hanging in the sky, illuminating the entire earth.
Su Zhengnan had just arrived at the community's leisure square for his morning exercise.
A group of elderly men who were doing their morning exercise greeted him with smiles.
"Oh, good morning, Dr. Su!"
"What do you mean 'early'? I think Dr. Su got up about half an hour later than usual today. We've almost finished our morning exercise."
"Dr. Su, you don't have a girlfriend, do you? This is the first time I've seen you get up so late, hahaha..."
"Half an hour late is considered late? Old Li, your granddaughter didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky the other day, and you still have the nerve to criticize Dr. Su?"
"My granddaughter is cultivating her character, what do you know, old Wu!"
"What self-cultivation? She's just sponging off her parents at home. Old Li, you're really too proud to admit anyone says anything bad about your granddaughter..."
"Hey, so what if my granddaughter is sponging off her parents? Is she eating your rice?"
"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing, or Dr. Su won't take you for your morning exercise later."
The group of elderly men who often exercised with Su Zhengnan in the morning had already found out his identity and knew that he was a school doctor at the Beijing Film Academy, so they all called him Doctor Su.
Occasionally, when these old men have a headache or fever, they will ask Su Zhengnan to take a look.
After spending these past few months together, we've all become pretty familiar with each other.
So when they saw Su Zhengnan appear, the group of old men couldn't help but joke with him.
Of course, it's inevitable that some of the older men will argue with each other.
Take Old Li and Old Wu, for example. They often tease each other by talking about each other's grandchildren.
Su Zhengnan greeted the group of old men with a smile, then walked to the front of the leisure square and began his morning exercise.
Upon seeing this, the group of old men immediately quieted down.
Immediately afterwards, they all followed Su Zhengnan and began practicing the Vajra Longevity Exercise, which had become a habit for them in recent days.
After practicing these mornings for a while, these old men have already felt the effects of the Vajra Longevity Exercise.
That is precisely why.
That's why they were all so polite to Su Zhengnan.
The old men who have lived to their age are generally quite discerning, and naturally they understand the importance of Su Zhengnan's health preservation methods.
Whether from the perspective of health preservation or physical fitness.
The Vajra Longevity Exercise taught by Su Zhengnan was the best health-preserving exercise they had ever seen.
Haven't you noticed that Old Wu, who used to be out of breath after just a few steps, can now climb five floors in one go without any problem after practicing the Vajra Longevity Exercise for a few months?
This is the best advertisement ever!
And it even has its own therapeutic effects!
So, the group of old men spontaneously lined up every day and did morning exercises with Su Zhengnan.
That's why we see this scene before us.
After morning exercise is over.
Su Zhengnan greeted the old men with a smile and then walked out of the residential area.
After leaving the residential area, Su Zhengnan went to a nearby restaurant for breakfast.
A bowl of congee, a steamer of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and a tea egg!
This is Su Zhengnan's breakfast today.
It's Saturday today, so there aren't many customers at the breakfast shop. Many people will take advantage of the day to sleep in.
Just as Su Zhengnan was eating breakfast.
Suddenly, a woman in her thirties sitting opposite, holding a child under six years old, shouted:
"Oh, Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan, what's wrong? Throw it out, throw it out quickly! Don't scare your mother!"
The young woman's loud shout immediately attracted the attention of other customers in the store.
"This little one seems to be choking on something! Call 120 quickly!!"
"Calling 120 won't be enough. Suffocation for more than five minutes will cause shock, and a child may not be able to survive that long."
"What should we do? Quickly call someone for help!"
"Quick, quickly pound his back, see if you can make the child vomit."
Someone anxiously offered advice to the young woman.
With a whoosh!
Su Zhengnan quickly stepped forward and said, "Give me the child, I'm a doctor."
"Um?"
Upon hearing Su Zhengnan say that he was a doctor, the young woman quickly handed over the child she was holding.
At this moment, the child's face had turned somewhat blue, clearly indicating that he was no longer able to breathe.
Su Zhengnan took the child and immediately laid him flat on his lap. Then, he wrapped one arm around the child and pressed the thumb of his other hand two fingers above the child's navel, pressing inward repeatedly.
This is the Heimlich maneuver commonly used in Western medicine.
One, two, three...
With a soft "poof!"
Su Zhengnan continued to gently press the area two fingers above the child's navel, pressing inward with force.
Finally, the child coughed up the foreign object from his throat.
It was a small steamed bun.
Immediately afterwards, the child burst into tears.
"Waaah... Mommy... I want Mommy... I want Mommy... Waaah..."
Su Zhengnan handed the child back to the young woman and said, "Alright, the child is fine now. Just be careful when the child eats in the future. Don't let the child swallow such a large piece of food directly. It's better to chew food slowly and carefully."
"Thank you, thank you so much for saving my child, thank you so much."
The young woman, holding her child, kept thanking Su Zhengnan.
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and said, "No need to thank me, it's what I should do."
*Slap slap slap...*
The next moment, a burst of enthusiastic applause rang out from the audience!
Su Zhengnan smiled and waved, walking out of the breakfast shop amidst the praise of the crowd.
After checking the time as he left the breakfast shop, Su Zhengnan immediately turned and headed towards the supermarket across the street. He planned to buy some groceries to cook a few good meals at home.
After all, we can't eat out every time, can we?
Su Zhengnan went to the supermarket across the street, bought some groceries, and then returned to his residence.
The morning went by quickly.
Su Zhengnan rested at home for a while and read a book. It was noon by then.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan began to skillfully wash, chop, and stir-fry the vegetables.
Ping ping bang bang.....
An enticing aroma filled the kitchen.
Soon, a sumptuous lunch was laid out on the table.
Su Zhengnan was about to enjoy his lunch when the doorbell suddenly rang.
He opened the door in confusion and found the young woman whose child he had saved that morning standing outside.
Su Zhengnan looked at the other person and asked, "Hello, may I ask what brings you here?"
"Well, I specifically inquired about your address. This is a small gift; please accept it."
As she spoke, the young woman handed over a pile of fruit and various gifts she had bought to Su Zhengnan.
"How can this be? As doctors, treating and saving lives is our duty. It would be inappropriate to accept gifts from others."
Su Zhengnan pushed away the gift offered by the other party and refused.
The young woman said sincerely, "Please accept this. You saved my child's life. If you don't accept it, I will kneel down and kowtow to you."
As she spoke, the young woman prepared to kneel down.
Su Zhengnan quickly stopped him, saying, "Alright, alright, I'll accept this, but you don't have to kneel, okay?"
Seeing that the other party insisted on accepting the gifts, Su Zhengnan finally had no choice but to accept them. Fortunately, the gifts were all food and not particularly valuable.
Afterwards, the young woman thanked Su Zhengnan again, asked for his contact information, and then turned and left.
Su Zhengnan shook his head with a helpless smile, packed up his things, and returned to the restaurant to continue eating.
