Zheng Weijun closed his eyes and rolled his eye balls to allow the eye drops to touch every bit of his eyes. He had a nice and cool feeling in his eyes. It was as if something was repairing his damaged eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes and could see better. “The medication is amazing!”

“Shall we tell Dr. Wang that Weijun is able to see now?” Zheng Shixiong asked.

“Yes, tell Dr. Wang,” Mr. Wu said.

Zheng Shixiong suddenly stopped as he was walking out of the door because he saw a person.

“That is?” He only had a glance at the person from distance. “I think I’ve seen him somewhere.”

“Xiaoxue, where would you like to go today? I can be your company,” Guo Zhenghe said.

“I don’t have any plans today. I’m going home tomorrow,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Tomorrow?” Guo Zhenghe asked

“Yes, my mother called me last night. She said she misses me,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Haha, you haven’t been away for long,” Guo Zhenghe said with a smile. “But, it’s good to go home in case your mother worries about you.”

“Yes,” Su Xiaoxue said as she looked up at the sky. She wasn’t quite sure what was on her mind.

Zheng Shixiong arrived at Wang Yao’s clinic after the last patient had left. “Hello, Dr. Wang.”

“Hello, how can I help you?” Wang Yao asked.

“I’m here to thank you,” Zheng Shixiong said.

“Thank me? Zheng Weijun can see?” Wang Yao immediately got what Zheng Shixiong meant.

“Yes, Weijun can see,” Zheng Shixiong said.

“Good, I’ll take a look at him,” Wang Yao said.

“OK, thank you,” Zheng Shixiong said.

They went to Sun Yunsheng’s house together. Once there, Wang Yao immediately noticed Zheng Weijun had brightness in his eyes.

“Hello, Dr. Wang, thank you,” Zheng Weijun said.

He had heard Zheng Shixiong and Mr. Wu talking about Wang Yao all the time. Now, he could finally see the young doctor who repaired his vision.

He is so young, Zheng Weijun thought.

“How are you feeling? How clear can you see things?” Wang Yao asked.

“Pretty clear. I didn’t expect you would be so young,” Zheng Weijun said.

“Can you see my palm lines?” Wang Yao showed Zheng Weijun’s his palm without sitting down.

“They are a bit blurry,” Zheng Weijun said.

“Continue to take the decoction for the next three days. Get his vision tested. If his vision has gone back to normal, he can drink the rest of the decoction,” Wang Yao said.

“He can drink the eye drops?” Mr. Wu asked with surprise.

“Of course, the decoction can be used internally and externally,” Wang Yao said.

“Can I ask what is the use of taking it internally?” Mr. Wu asked.

“To repair his damaged body,” Wang Yao said.

“Repair?” Mr. Wu was dazed for a moment.

“You need to rest well, and don’t get too excited. You’ll get better gradually,” Wang Yao said to Zheng Weijun.

“OK,” Zheng Weijun said.

Zheng Shixiong walked Wang Yao out of the house and invited him for dinner. Wang Yao declined his invitation.

“Look, we can have dinner together to celebrate when Zheng Weijun is fully recovered. What do you think?” Wang Yao suggested.

“OK, that sounds good,” Zheng Shixiong said.

He saw Mr. Wu staring at the decoction given by Wang Yao as he walked back into the house.

“What’s wrong, Uncle Wu?” Zheng Shixiong asked.

“Repair the damaged body,” Mr. Wu murmured.

“Yes? Is it significant?” Zheng Shixiong asked.

“Of course, do you understand the significance of it?” Mr. Wu asked.

Zheng Shixiong shook his head.

“Let me give you an example. A broken finger or congenital heart disease can both be considered damage of the body,” Mr. Wu said. “This decoction can fix both.”

“Do you mean it could make a broken finger regrow and fix congenital heart disease?” Zheng Shixiong asked with surprise.

“Literally, yes. Of course, I’m not sure how exactly amazing the decoction is. However, according to Dr. Wang’s high medical skills and what happened to Weijun, the decoction could probably fix all the damages in a human body,” Mr. Wu said.

“Really?” Zheng Shixiong asked.

“This decoction is very precious. Let’s see what other effects it has,” Mr. Wu said.

“OK,” Zheng Shixiong said. He was really surprised, but, at the same time, he doubted any medication in the world could repair a human body.

…

“Has he gone?” Chu Lian asked.

“Yes, thank god,” Su Xiaoxue said.

Guo Zhenghe left Chen Ying’s rental house in the morning for town center to do some shopping, but he would return in the afternoon.

“I will say goodbye to Dr. Wang in the afternoon,” Su Xiaoxue said. “We’ll go back to Beijing tomorrow.”

“OK,” Chu Lian said.

“Aye!” Su Xiaoxue breathed a sigh. She didn’t want to leave, but she had to. She knew Guo Zhenghe wouldn’t leave the village unless she left. She didn’t want to bring Wang Yao any trouble, especially if the trouble was caused by her.

“That Guo Zhenghe is really annoying!” Chu Lian could tell what was on Su Xiaoxue’s mind. Obviously, Su Xiaoxue was not happy. Therefore, she was also annoyed by Guo Zhenghe.

There were no patients in the afternoon.

Knock! Knock! Someone was knocking at the clinic door.

“Please come in,” Wang Yao said.

“Good afternoon, Dr. Wang.” Su Xiaoxue came in.

“Please take a seat.” Wang Yao stood up to make her a cup of tea. “Have some tea.”

“Thank you,” Su Xiaoxue said.

She sat next to Wang Yao and looked at him.

“How can I help you?” Wang Yao asked.

After keeping silent for a moment, Su Xiaoxue asked, “Dr. Wang, can I ask you a question?”

“Sure,” Wang Yao said.

“Do you like me?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

Although she said like, she actually meant love.

Wang Yao was shocked. He didn’t expect Su Xiaoxue would ask him such a question directly. Apparently, he was not prepared.

“I…” He wanted to say something but stopped when he saw Su Xiaoxue looking at him with anticipation.

He actually liked Su Xiaoxue, who was quite beautiful, nice, and tough. But, what could he say? Should he tell her they were from different worlds? Was he afraid or trying to escape?

His life was relaxed like when he was picking the daisies near the fence at east and looking at Nanshan Hill. That was Wang Yao’s current lifestyle. But, eventually he would be with someone. He wouldn’t spend the rest of his life alone.

Tong Wei had left. Nothing would ever happen again between them. Su Xiaoxue had visited him twice. She came to thank him for saving her life and express her love to him.

Why shouldn’t he have a try? Why should he care about the difference of social status between them? Why did it matter if he was from a small village while she was from Beijing? They were from two different worlds, so what? He should give it a try as long as he and Su Xiaoxue liked each other.

Su Xiaoxue was waiting for his response. Wang Yao had remained silent. Su Xiaoxue was calming, but she didn’t drink the tea on the table.

“I admit that I like you, too,” Wang Yao calmly said. He told her how he really felt about her.

“Really?” Su Xiaoxue was thrilled.

Her smile was as pretty as a flower. Actually, he thought it was prettier than a flower.

Wang Yao seemed to hesitate at the beginning, but he had finally made up his mind.

“I have to go back to Beijing, Dr. Wang,” said Su Xiaoxue. She was now more reluctant to leave.

“Your mother wants you to go back?” Wang Yao asked.

“No, because of Guo Zhenghe. I’m afraid he won’t leave unless I leave. I will tell my parents about us,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“OK, you can come back when you have time,” Wang Yao said.

“I have all the time in the world,” Su Xiaoxue said.

Wang Yao walked her out of the clinic. Su Xiaoxue returned to Chen Ying’s rental house with a big smile on her face.

“Hmm?” Both Chu Lian and Chen Ying noticed the change in Su Xiaoxue’s mood. They glanced at each other.

“Have you spoken to Dr Wang?” Chu Lian asked.

“Yes, I told him I’m leaving tomorrow but will be back again,” Su Xiaoxue said.

You must have said something else to him, Chu Lian thought.

Soon after Su Xiaoxue returned, Guo Zhenghe also came back with some local food.

“I thought you didn’t have time to buy this stuff, so I bought some for you to take to your parents,” he said with a smile. He was always very thoughtful.

“No, thank you,” Su Xiaoxue said without hesitation.

“But, I’ve already bought this food for you,” Guo Zhenghe said.

“Thank you, but I really don’t need it,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Thank you, Mr. Guo. We will take some of the food back with us,” Chu Lian said. She picked up two packs of food.

“OK, I can drive you two to the airport in the afternoon,” Guo Zhenghe said.

“There is no need. We’ll go to Haiqu this afternoon before heading back to Beijing,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“OK,” Guo Zhenghe said.

He also went to say goodbye to Wang Yao in the afternoon. He was about to say something else but decided not to.

“See you later, Dr. Wang,” Guo Zhenghe said.

“Have a safe trip. See you later,” Wang Yao said.

He met with Su Xiaoxue at the airport before she left.

“See you later, Dr. Wang.” Su Xiaoxue waved her arm at him. She really wanted to stay longer. She just wanted to talk with him or even just sit with him doing nothing.

“See you later. Come back when you have time,” Wang Yao said.

“I will,” Su Xiaoxue said. This was a promise from her.
