“I should go home,” Wang Yao said .
“OK,” Su Xiaoxue said .
Wang Yao had a clinic to run and Nanshan hill to look after . Su Xiaoxue had to continue with her studies .
Before Wang Yao left Beijing, he went to see Su Xiaoxue’s parents again . He and Su Xiaoxue had officially started a relationship, which Su Xiaoxue’s parents seemed to accept .
Su Xiaoxue was reluctant to leave Wang Yao in the airport .
“I’ll come meet you in Lianshan,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“OK, we’ll keep in touch . Go home,” Wang Yao said .
He walked a few steps and suddenly turned around . He held Su Xiaoxue in his arms . “Take good care of yourself . ”
“I will . You too,” Su Xiaoxue said .
They were extremely close to each other .
The plane soared and disappeared into the sky . Su Xiaoxue was still looking at the sky in the airport .
“Miss Su, he’s left,” Chu Lian said .
“I know . He’ll be back, or I can visit him,” Su Xiaoxue softly said .
“Shall we go back?” Chu Lian asked .
“Just one moment,” Su Xiaoxue said .
The sky was blue, high, and decorated with some clouds . Another plane soared and disappeared into the sky .
“Let’s go . I have lectures to attend today,” Su Xiaoxue said as she got into the car .
The plane landed in Haiqu airport, which was quite far from the city center .
Hmm?
Wang Yao was waiting for a vacant taxi outside the airport . Unfortunately, all the taxis had been booked . He moved forward a bit .
Whoosh! A car suddenly accelerated and ran toward Wang Yao . He ducked effortlessly to avoid being hit by the car .
Creak! The car stopped . A man wearing sunglasses wound down the window and took a glance at Wang Yao . Without saying a word, he pressed down on the accelerator and left .
Hmm? No apology or explanation? What does he mean by doing that?
Wang Yao kept the number plate in mind calmly . 9527 . A moment later, he found a vacant taxi, which took him back to the village .
“Son, you are back?” Zhang Xiuying called out .
“Yes, Mom,” Wang Yao said .
“Go and wash your face,” Zhang Xiuying said .
Wang Yao dropped his luggage in the room . He washed his face before entering the living room . His parents asked him a lot of questions, trying to find as much information about Su Xiaoxue as they could .
“I did go to Beijing for Xiaoxue . I wanted to know if we can get along well together,” Wang Yao honestly said .
“That’s great,” Zhang Xiuying happily said . “What do Xiaoxue’s parents do for a living?”
“They are public servants,” Wang Yao said after thinking for a moment .
“I see . What does Xiaoxue do for a living?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“She’s still studying at Peking University,” Wang Yao asked . “She dropped out of university because of that horrible disease . She will finish her degree . ”
“I see . Is she fine now?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“Yes,” Wang Yao asked .
Zhang Xiuying asked all the questions while Wang Fenghua listened .
“I am just curious about her and her family . You can go ahead to do your own stuff now,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“OK, I’m off to Nanshan Hill,” Wang Yao said .
Although he appreciated the history and bustling of Beijing during his one-week stay there, he thought Nanshan Hill was a better, or more suitable, place for him . He felt calm and peaceful there .
Outside the village, there was a large field . At this time of the year, the wheat had turned yellow . It would soon be time for harvest . Further down south, there was a hill sticking out, which severed the field . Behind the hill, further inside, the ground became uneven . Several stepped fields with wheat appeared . Further down south were the trees Wang Yao had planted . After seven days, the trees had grown well . The leaves were green with good spirit .
San Xian ran down from the top of the hill toward Wang Yao . He hopped around him pleasantly with his wagging tail .
“San Xian, how come you put on weight again?” Wang Yao patted San Xian’s head with a smile .
He and the dog walked around at the foot of the hill before going up . It was as peaceful as always on Nanshan hill . The air was fresh, making Wang Yao really comfortable . He walked around on the hill .
“San Xian, less and less people come to the hill . ” He had a long walk, so he could see the old footprints had been covered by grass . It indicated that almost no one came close to Nanshan Hill .
Woof! The dog barked to agree with Wang Yao .
“The grass here…” Wang Yao murmured .
The grass seemed to grow much faster than the trees . With the effect of the spirit gathering battle array, the grass had grown crazily . Some of it reached Wang Yao’s waist .
“I should do something about the weeds to control their growth,” Wang Yao said .
More than 10 types of licorice roots were growing really well in the herbal field .
Beep! Om! Wang Yao’s mobile phone rang .
“Have you arrived at home?” Su Xiaoxue asked at the other side of the phone .
“Oh, yes, I’m on Nanshan Hill now,” Wang Yao said .
“Was it a tiresome trip?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“Not really,” Wang Yao said . “How are you? Are you in the university?”
“Yes, I have just finished a lecture,” Su Xiaoxue said .
They chatted for a short while before hanging up .
“Who were you talking to? You sounded so gentle,” a friend of Su Xiaoxue’s asked .
“My boyfriend,” Su Xiaoxue happily said to her friend .
“So, did you have last week off to…” her friend began to ask .
Su Xiaoxue smiled .
“What does he look like? Do you have a photo to show me?” her friend asked .
“Yeah!” Su Xiaoxue showed her friend the photo she took with Wang Yao .
“Nothing special I can see,” her friend said .
“He is a very capable man,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Wow! Look at you!” Her friend teased her .
It started to get dark and was very quiet on Nanshan Hill .
Wang Yao posted a thread on Weibo to notify his patients that his clinic would open the next day . People soon started to respond to his thread .
“Finally you are back! I’ve been waiting for you for days!” a patient posted .
“Exactly! Where have you been?” another patient on Weibo asked .
A lot of people responded . Wang Yao took a look at the messages before putting his phone aside .
Apart from seeing patients, he had one more thing to deal with . He had to be careful with Guo Zhenghe, who was a scheming young man from a prestigious family .
Wang Yao didn’t go to bed until midnight .
In the village, his parents had talked about their son for some time .
The sun rose early the next morning . Some patients had been waiting before 8 a . m . when Wang Yao came down from the hill . He unlocked the door of the clinic and started to work .
More than 10 patients came in the morning . Wang Yao still had a few patients waiting around lunch time . He skipped lunch and continued to work . More patients came in the afternoon . Some of them thought they wouldn’t get to see Wang Yao in the morning, so they came in the afternoon . There were actually more patients in the afternoon than in the morning .
Most of the patients were from places far from the village, so Wang Yao couldn’t send them back without seeing them . He worked from until 8 p . m . without eating anything .
He saw 32 patients in one day . He had never seen so many patients in one day since he opened the clinic .
“Have all the patients left?” Zhang Xiuying delivered a meal to the clinic .
“Yes, Mom,” Wang Yao said .
“Here you are . I have some food for you,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“I’ll go home to eat,” Wang Yao said .
He locked the door of the clinic and went home . While he was eating, Zhen Weijun paid him a casual visit .
“I think the pharmaceutical company you mentioned last time is a good idea . Is there any criteria I have to meet?” Wang Yao asked .
“You’ve decided to go ahead?” Zhen Weijun asked .
“Yes . ” Wang Yao nodded .
“Initially, some paperwork has to be completed . Since you’ve made your decision, leave the paperwork to me . ” Zhen Weijun said . “We also need to discuss the frame of our company . ”
It indicated that they needed to discuss who would be in charge of the company and how many people they wanted to be in management .
“Sure, shall we talk about it tomorrow evening?” Wang Yao asked .
“OK, I’ll come again tomorrow,” Zhen Weijun said .
After he had left, Wang Yao gave his parents a massage to relax before returning to Nanshan Hill .
In Zhang Anning’s house in Beijing . Dr . Chen was visiting Zhang Anning .
“This is amazing!” Chen Zhouchuan exclaimed as he checked Zhang Anning’s wounds .
New muscles had started to grow, and the rotten areas had started to heal . Scar tissue had formed, and some of them had dropped . This was a sign of recovery .
“It only took three days,” Chen Zhouchuan said .
Wang Yao left all the decoctions for Zhang Anning including a small amount of Muscle Revitalizing powder .
“The decoctions are magical,” Chen Zhouchuan said as he looked at the three bottles of decoctions .
Zhang Anning, who was still lying on the bed, also looked better . He had more color in his face and eyes . His parents were thrilled .
“Uncle Chen, do you know where Dr . Wang lives? We must go and thank him,” Zhang Anning’s mother said .
