Chapter 664
“He is the person my daughter fell in love with, so I have to make sure he is a decent person for my own peace of mind,” Song Ruiping said . To be honest, she always put her daughter ahead of herself .

“I’m happy as long as he is a decent guy . We don’t need anything from him,” Su Xianghua said .
Given their family background, it was both easy and hard to find the best match for their daughter . They didn’t really have many choices . Most importantly, Song Ruiping felt that no young man in the other prestige families was good enough .
Wang Yao was standing on top of Nanshan Hill looking north . Since she missed him, why not visit her? He hadn’t been to Beijing for a long time .
To be honest, Wang Yao was not keen to visit Beijing . He didn’t like that busy city . Beijing was a place full of trouble and danger . There were poor and rich people there . People were valued by their power and wealth .
At the same time, two men were talking into a hotel in Lianshan .
“Why could we find these kinds insects in such a small place here?” a man in his 30s asked . “And, they are actually two different insects . ”
“They are different but not completely different . I think I know what kind of insects were in the hot springs at Li Family Creek,” the man in his 40s said .
“Is it because of the high temperature under the ground?” the younger man asked .
“Yes, the temperature caused changes in those insects, which contained heat toxin themselves . The toxin is very strong,” the older man said . “Haven’t several people in that village been poisoned?”
The two of them left Wang Yao’s village for Li Family Creek again . They found a third type of insect on the hill near the hot springs resort . The third type of insect was also strongly poisonous .
“Maybe the insects we found in the other village is a variant of this type of insect,” the older man said .
“Variant? But their shapes are totally different,” the younger man said .
“Since they are the variant, it is possible their shape has changed, too,” the older man said .
“What about the poison?” the younger man asked .
“Not exactly the same,” the older man said .
Suddenly, his body trembled as he was talking .
“Brother?” The younger man was concerned .
“I’m fine,” said the older man, who looked really ill . It seemed that he was trying to put up with strong pain .
After a while, he took a long breath of relief . “The toxin is really strong . ”

He had deliberately got bitten by the insects . After successfully capturing the two types of insect, the first thing he did was allow the insects from Li Family Creek bite him . He wanted to feel the toxin . He looked at his wrist, which had two bite marks .
“Because of the temperature, the insects transformed and created poison,” he said . “They became very violent and tend to attack anything different to them . ”
“I don’t think the villagers are aware how horrible these insects are,” the younger man said . He took out the wooden box . “Let me give it a try, too . ”
“I don’t think that is a good idea,” the older man said . “If you couldn’t resist the toxin, it would be really dangerous . If you really want to try, wait until my condition is stable . ”
“OK,” the younger man said . “But, I can’t wait!”
The night passed slowly . The sun came out to shine the earth next morning .
Wang Yao put a sign on the door to indicate he was not going to open the clinic .
“This doctor just does whatever he wants,” a patient coming to the clinic said . “When he doesn’t want to see patients, he just close the clinic . ”
“Yes, he is like that,” another patient said .
Compared to the last time he didn’t open his clinic, only a few people came this time . After Wang Yao registered a Weibo account, most of his patients knew in advance when the clinic would be closed . He used the account to notify patients when he was away to avoid wasting other people’s time . However, he couldn’t guarantee that everyone would receive the notice . So, there were still people coming .
“Let’s go,” a patient said .
Although they were upset, they had to leave .
Wang Yao was actually inside the clinic at that time . He had left the door of his clinical room open, so he could hear his patients from inside .
He was going to spend the day reviewing medical notes . To improve his efficiency, he bought a high-functioning computer and portable hard drive .
When I’m finished with this, I’ll go to Beijing .
It didn’t take Wang Yao long to review the notes . It took him less than one day . However, he had one more thing to solve . He wanted to cure the poisoned villagers . He brewed decoctions for them overnight .
The next day, he gave those patients the decoctions before examining them . All the three patients recovered well .
“Dr . Wang, you are going to travel?” Zhen Weijun asked .
“Yes, I’m going to visit Beijing . Please help me look after this village,” Wang Yao said .
“Leave it to us,” Zhen Weijun said .

Since he had planted a lot of trees on the hill, Wang Yao asked his parents to look after them while he was away .
“I’ll stay on the hill the next few days,” Wang Fenghua said .
“You don’t need to stay there overnight, just water the trees for me when you have time,” Wang Yao said .
“Just leave him there,” Zhang Xiuying said with a smile . “I can take care of the house myself . ”
After he had arranged everything, Wang Yao went back to Nanshan Hill to check the plants and herbs and make preparations . Some of the herbs, especially several licorice roots, had bloomed . They required extra attention since they would probably start to grow very fast .
After finishing arranging all his business in the village, Wang Yao left for the airport to take the plane to Beijing .
“Did he say who he is going to see in Beijing?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“He said he was going to see a friend,” Wang Fenghua said .
“Do you think he’s going to see the girl who came here last time? That very pretty girl?” Zhong Xiuying asked .
“Stop speculating,” Wang Fenghua said .
“He is not that young anymore,” Zhang Xiuying said with a sigh .
It was nice and sunny in Beijing . The shops were filled with people, and the streets were filled with vehicles . Beijing was as busy as ever .
To Wang Yao, Beijing was a fast-paced city . He felt stressed for no reason by looking at the people and vehicles in a hurry . The city did have its strength . It had a rich history and was the capital city of China . It was full of opportunities, wealth, and talented people .
Many people wanted to stay in Beijing, even if they were struggling there . They would rather live on a pathetic wage of $5,000 a month and like a dog than returning to their hometown, even if they could get paid the same amount . It never occurred to them that it was much more relaxing to live in their hometowns . Plus, the property prices in their hometowns were much lower .
Wang Yao couldn’t tell whether those people were persistent or stupid . Or, maybe they were both .
He checked the time after getting off the plane and sent a text message to Su Xiaoxue . [Hi Xiaoxue, I’ve arrived in Beijing . ]
Su Xiaoxue was in a building with creeper covering its wall, holding her fist excitedly . Yeah! Her beautiful eyes turned into the shape of a new moon .
“Are you OK?” her friend asked with surprise .
“Yeah,” Su Xiaoxue said .
This girl, who always obeyed the rules in the university, lifted her hand up to request to leave the classroom . Her excuse was that she felt unwell .

“That’s fine, take care,” an old professor said .
A request from such a lovely girl had to be satisfied .
With permission, Su Xiaoxue left the classroom, even though she didn’t look ill at all given her graceful gait . This was the first time she had escaped a university lecture .
“Hi, Auntie Lian,” Su Xiaoxue said as she arrived home .
“Hi, Miss Su, where are you going? Shouldn’t you be in the university now?” Chu Lian asked .
“I received a message from Dr . Wang . He’s here in the airport now . I’m going to pick him up,” Su Xiaoxue said .
Chu Lian was surprised . “He is here? So quick!”
“Shall we go now?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“Oh, sure,” Chu Lian said .
She drove Su Xiaoxue to Beijing airport . Su Xiaoxue couldn’t stop smiling .
Silly girl, Chu Lian thought . “How long is Dr Wang going to stay this time?”
“I’m not sure . He didn’t say, and I didn’t ask,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“I see . Is he going to stay in the cottage?” Chu Lian asked .
“I’m not sure . He can stay wherever he wants,” Su Xiaoxue said .
Chu Lian didn’t ask any further questions . She didn’t need to say anything else . She supposed Su Xiaoxue would even agree to spend a night with Wang Yao in the jungle .
I have to let Ms . Song know that Dr . Wang has arrived, Chu Lian thought .
Even at this time of the day, the traffic in Beijing was not smooth . Beijing was probably the most crowded city on the planet .
“Gosh, so slow!” This was the seventh time Su Xiaoxue complained about the traffic . “Dr . Wang must be feeling impatient now . ”
“We’ll get to the airport soon after passing this section,” Chu Lian said .
Wang Yao was waiting in the airport . In fact, he could have just gone to Peking University by himself . However, Su Xiaoxue insisted on picking him up . Therefore, he had to wait for her . As he had nothing to do, he started to walk around the airport . Unexpectedly, he raised the notice from the security guard, who didn’t leave him alone until making sure he was fine .
“Beijing is so unique,” Wang Yao murmured .
“Hi, Dr . Wang!” A pleasant voice rang out .
Looking towards the voice, he saw a beautiful young woman . She was full of energy and passion . After experiencing that horrible disease, god seemed to have compensated her with all the good things .
“Sorry about the wait, Dr . Wang . ” Su Xiaoxue almost ran all the way from the car park to where Wang Yao was .
“That’s fine . Thank you for coming to pick me up,” Wang Yao said .
“Welcome to Beijing, Dr . Wang,” Chu Lian said .
“Thank you,” Wang Yao said .
“Shall we go?” Su Xiaoxue suggested .
“OK,” Wang Yao said .
All of them got into the car . Chu Lian was the driver . Su Xiaoxue and Wang Yao sat in the back .
“How long are you going to stay here this time?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“About a week,” Wang Yao said .
“A week?” Su Xiaoxue immediately started to plan how to escape a week’s lecture to be with him .
“Are you busy with university lectures?” Wang Yao asked .
“No, not at all,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Do you want to stay in the cottage like usual?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“No, I’ll stay in a hotel,” Wang Yao said .
“Why? The cottage is always available for you to stay,” Chu Lian said .
For Su Xiaoxue’s family, Wang Yao was their prestigious guest . They had to look after him well, just as they did when he came to treat Su Xiaoxue . Now that she had fully recovered and started to date him, they wanted to look after him even better .
“No, thanks . I think I should just stay in a hotel this time,” Wang Yao said .
Chu Lian booked a room in a hotel for him .
