In a well-known hospital on the island.
“Diabetes.”
“How is it possible?” After hearing what the doctor said, Tian Yuantu was dumbfounded.
His body became very thin because he was busy with the company matters lately. Things went quite smoothly during his visit to Jing City this time. He could finally relax a bit, but he felt that there was a problem with his body. So, after the plane landed, he went to do a checkup at the hospital on the island. He was extremely shocked by the results.
“You’re too thin and overfatigued, which is the cause of this disease,” the doctor said.
“This is not a horrifying disease. This disease is very common nowadays. You shouldn’t feel mentally pressured too. As long as you take the medicine on time and pay attention to your diet and living habits, the disease can be controlled and treated.”
“Alright. Thank you, doctor.” Coming out from the hospital, Tian Yuantu was not in a good mood.
The company’s matters had come to an end after being busy for more than a month. However, his body had a problem instead.
“I shall go back and ask Wang Yao about it. He should have a good idea.”
In the morning, the sun was considered to be shining brightly.
Wang Yao came down from the mountain early and drove to Lianshan County.
Tong Wei was going back to the island that day, so he drove to send her off.
“Drive safe.”
“Okay.”
He first went to Lianshan County to pick Tong Wei up and bought some daily necessities with her. Then, they went to Tong Wei’s house and sat for a while. After chatting with her parents for a short while, he left with Tong Wei to go to the island. It was already afternoon when they arrived at the island.
“Shall we find a place to eat first?”
“Sure.”
They found a Western restaurant and ordered some food. While they were eating, Tong Wei’s phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and looked at the number. She frowned a little and then hung up.
“What is it?”
“An annoying guy,” Tong Wei answered.
“Annoying? Is he chasing after you?” Wang Yao replied with a smile.
“Yes. I already rejected him, but he still keeps pestering me.”
“Bring me to see him next time. I’ll make him give up completely.”
“Sure!”
After their meal, they went to Tong Wei’s residence. Downstairs where Tong Wei stayed, Wang Yao saw a man whom he met once. He was dressed in a suit, holding a large bouquet of red roses.
“Is he the one who called just now?” In the car, he pointed at the young man outside.
“Yes, it’s him.” Tong Wei replied.
“Let’s go talk to him.”
The two of them got out of the car. Tong Wei held onto Wang Yao’s arm and leaned on him, like a timid and lovable little woman.
“Hello, Mr. Song?”
“Tong Wei?” Mr. Song looked at Wang Yao.
“Who is this?”
“My boyfriend.”
“Hello, I’m Wang Yao.”
“Hey buddy, why do you look so familiar? Have we met before somewhere?”
“Yes, we’ve met a few days ago downstairs at Tong Wei’s company.”
“Ah!” Mr. Song suddenly realized.
“I remember that my waist was very painful at that time.”
“Yes, I saw you clutching your waist and squatting on the ground. Are you okay?”
“The doctor said that it was fine.”
“That’s good then,” Wang Yao responded with a smile.
The conversation between the two was more like friends who had known each other for a long time, instead of rivals in love.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go up with Tong Wei first.”
“Wait. What do you do, buddy?”
“I farm at home. What’s the matter?” Wang Yao responded with a grin.
“Farming?!” Mr. Song was stunned.
“Yeah.”
“Okay, Tong Wei. I won’t give up!”
Tong Wei did not say anything, but instead Wang Yao said, “We’ll invite you to our wedding.”
After speaking, they went upstairs intimately.
“Someone who does farming. Farming?” Mr. Song walked back and forth downstairs. “How is a woodlouse stronger than me!”
Wang Yao and Tong Wei could not see his anger.
Downstairs, a young man in a sweatshirt passed by Mr. Song who was murmuring to himself with his head kept low. The young man looked at his big bouquet of fresh roses.
“Hey, buddy.” Mr. Song lifted his head and stopped the young man who was slightly plump.
“Is there anything?”
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
“Yes, I do.” The young man was taken aback.
“This is for you. I wish you happiness.” The weird Mr. Song gave the bouquet in his hands to the stranger whom he only met for the first time.
“What?” The young man was stunned.
“Why, you don’t like it?”
“Oh, thanks.” The young man smiled while holding a big bouquet of roses.
Mr. Song got into a snowy white Porsche sports car, turned the car around and left.
Looking at the huge bouquet of roses in his hands, the young man shook his head and said, “I can’t understand the world of the rich!” However, this was a good thing for him. His girlfriend must be happy to be gifted such bright roses. As the saying goes, to present Buddha with borrowed flowers. No, it should be to present a beauty with borrowed flowers.
After going upstairs, Tong Wei asked in surprise, “Have you seen him before?”
“Yes, I have. Just a few days ago when I came to the island to pick you up, he was downstairs clutching his waist and looked like he was in great pain.”
“Oh, what a coincidence!” Tong Wei responded.
“It’s pretty coincidental.”
The both of them sat on the sofa watching television in the room Tong Wei rented.
“Why don’t you stay here tonight?”
“Sure,” Wang Yao replied smilingly.
“Accompany me to buy some things later.”
“Okay.”
After resting for a while, Wang Yao went down with Tong Wei. They bought the ingredients for dinner at the shopping mall not far away from the residential area. After returning home, Tong Wei began to prepare dinner busily. Wang Yao originally wanted to help, but he was pushed out.
“What do you like to eat?” In the kitchen, Tong Wei shouted outside.
“Whatever. Anything will do.” Wang Yao did not have anything that he especially loved to eat because he was not picky.
Tong Wei was busy in the kitchen alone, while Wang Yao was watching television in the living room. They felt like real husband and wife. After a while, the aroma of food drifted out from the kitchen.
“So fragrant!”
Tong Wei opened a bottle of red wine.
Although there were no candle lights, it was a cozy dinner. Both of them ate very slowly and they ate while talking.
The sky outside had darkened.
After dinner, Tong Wei cleaned up the dishes. Then, the two of them watched television in the living room, an urban light comedy.
The pointer of the clock hanging on the wall pointed to the 10 o’clock position.
“I’ll go to bed first,” Tong Wei said while getting up.
“Okay, goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
Before going to bed, Tong Wei had a shower. Listening to the sound of the water in the bathroom, Wang Yao could even think of the seductive scene inside.
After reciting a scripture, he then only calmed down the surging blood.
When Tong Wei came out of the bathroom, she was only wearing a bathrobe. Her face was a bit flushed, looking like a ripe peach. It was exceptionally tempting. She looked in the direction of the living room and slowly walked into the bedroom.
There was snow on half of Mountain Jade’s peak, and a lotus in the Jade Pool.
Wang Yao’s eyes were staring at the television, but his thoughts drifted far away.
After a short while, he entered the other bedroom.
A man and a woman were alone in the same room.
The man had the affection, whereas the woman had the desire.
The clouds were pale and a light breeze was blowing that night.
Wang Yao’s Chinese boxing had almost reached perfection. With such great strength, he did not push open the door.
The final gap between the two was still there.
Phew,
in the morning, Wang Yao took a deep breath.
What was the matter?
If it was in the past, he probably would have strode over the door long ago. However, after practicing Taoist scriptures, his mind seemed to have changed.
“Good morning,” Tong Wei greeted Wang Yao after coming out from her bedroom.
Compared to the celebrities who had fairylike beauty and could attract people’s souls after putting on makeup on television, but could scare people to death like ghosts after removing their makeup, Tong Wei was different. Tong Wei was a natural beauty. Even if she did not put on makeup, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.
“Good morning,” Wang Yao replied with a grin.
He washed up after waking up. Tong Wei had already prepared breakfast.
“Mmm, it’s quite a good decision to have such a wife who is as beautiful as flowers and can run the household,” Wang Yao thought silently.
There were a few great things in life,
meeting a famous teacher,
choosing a suitable profession for oneself,
marrying a good wife,
these few things could even change a person’s life path.
Someone once said, choosing the kind of life partner meant choosing the type of life.
“Is the visit to France settled?”
“It’s settled. The procedures are almost done too. Why?” Tong Wei asked smilingly.
“Suddenly, I’m reluctant for you to leave,” Wang Yao replied with a grin.
“Then, I’ll let the company know that I’m not going anymore?” Tong Wei answered.
“Just go if you want to. It’s only a month.”
“Okay.” Tong Wei beamed with happiness.
Wang Yao left at noon.
Before he left, something which he did not expect happened. Tong Wei actually kissed him. Her lips gave a quick peck on his cheek, just like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, cool and soft. When Wang Yao returned to his senses, the pretty woman whose cheeks were flushed red was already standing at the side.
“It felt pretty good. Could you do it again?”
“You’re naughty. Drive safe and give me a call when you reach home.”
“Okay.”
Wang Yao recalled in the car. The feeling was really quite wonderful.
“This is really a good sign, but I don’t know how long it’ll last.”
In Jing City, the Su family’s house.
Chen Lao was once again invited to check Su Xiaoxue’s condition. A lot of scabs fell out from the removed gauze. There were many newborn tissues appearing under her festered skin. The recovery of her left hand was the most obvious. The festered flesh on her entire palm had basically scabbed completely and was replaced by reddish and newly-grown muscle tissues.
“When can Dr. Wang come?”
“Within a month.”
“Okay. The faster the better. If the continuous treatment from the magical medicine can be obtained, the symptoms on Xiaoxue’s body surface may heal,” the old Mr. Chen said.
Looking at her daughter who was lying on the bed, Song Ruiping said, “I wish that he can come back as soon as possible too.”
“The medicine he left behind should continue to be consumed. It can strengthen Xiaoxue’s body functions.”
“Okay.”
In the small mountain village in Lianshan, it was already past five o’clock in the afternoon when Wang Yao reached home. After returning home, he learned from his father that the land use permit of the land in the village that he bought had been approved.
