Xie Baosheng dressed in trendy clothes, ran back along the mountain path, and was very happy to see Ning Youguang.
"You’re here." He chuckled, his shirt soaked more than halfway through, "You sit with your mom for a while, I’ll take a quick shower and be right down."
"Alright." Ning Youguang smiled warmly, "Uncle Xie seems much more energetic."
He’s slimr too, looks like Mom’s encouragent has had so effect.
"It’s all because your mom’s been pushing to exercise." Xie Baosheng wiped the sweat off his face and promptly sprinted upstairs.
From his back, his movents looked more nimble than before.
Xia Youqing had sothing to attend to and left for a while.
Ning Youguang noticed Grandma Xie and Shi Wangyue hadn’t returned yet, so he got up to look for them.
After searching everywhere, he suddenly saw Shi Wangyue standing under the cherry tree in the backyard picking cherries.
Grandma Xie, wearing a pair of plastic rain boots and holding a small floral umbrella, stood beside him with a basket, looking up with a smile as he picked cherries.
A lovely scene, with lovely people.
Ning Youguang couldn’t help but take out his phone and capture the mont.
...
As he was leaving the Xie family ho.
Ning Youguang talked with Shi Wangyue about the conversation with Xia Youqing today, "Most of us live in a dream, not truly experiencing the world, instead being in a dazed state, doing what we think we should do, until we die as if we never really lived. In fact, if soone has truly observed the birth and death of all things in the universe, they can put aside many material desires, not spend most of their ti indulging in worldly desires and ambitions, and understand that accompanying family, cherishing the present, and freeing the spirit are more important."
"So look around us, there’s plenty of people with declining bodies and immature minds." Shi Wangyue said aningfully, "We must take warning from this."
"???" Ning Youguang frowned, "What’s with that expression?"
"It’s nothing." Shi Wangyue quickly looked away, "Hey, whose loquat is that? It looks great."
"..."
The child is clever, not only using one’s own spear to attack one’s own shield.
But also know how to vent indirectly.
...
When the two returned to the Xia house with a basket of cherries, it was already late.
Several luxury cars with unfamiliar license plates were parked outside the yard gate.
"There’s guests at ho." Ning Youguang said, "If you’re not comfortable, we’ll greet them briefly and then go upstairs."
Shi Wangyue nodded, "Okay."
"Then I’ll tell the kitchen later to send the food up to us."
Ning Youguang didn’t want to communicate too much with so unfamiliar faces either.
"Alright." Shi Wangyue happily accepted the leisure.
But they didn’t expect, plans couldn’t keep up with changes.
Upon entering, they saw a cultured face full of joy.
"Youyou."
—It was Zhang Kejiu.
"Kejiu." Ning Youguang smiled, "Long ti no see, what brings you here today?"
"I heard from Daidai that you ca back for Qingming, so I specially ca to find you." Zhang Kejiu smiled, his warm gaze simultaneously falling on Shi Wangyue beside her, "This must be Shi? Indeed, outstanding."
Towards Shi Wangyue, his attitude was affectionate and enthusiastic.
Zhang Kejiu didn’t know if his childhood experience of obesity had deeply engraved in his mind, so much so that even after Ning Youguang helped him adjust his weight to a normal level, he didn’t dare indulge too much in eating and drinking.
He’d been obsessed with healthy eating since his teenage years and never ate junk food.
Thus, he’s maintained a good shape these years.
Even though his peers have begun to grow plump, he’s married with children, yet still maintains a slender build.
Wearing glasses, looking gentle and scholarly, he seed more like an academic than a third-generation heir to a family business.
In this life, due to Ning Youguang’s life-saving grace for Cui Hong, and restoring Zhang Kejiu’s health, the Zhang family has always felt grateful towards her, maintaining their connection, and would never forget anything beneficial for her.
Therefore, in this life, Ning Youguang’s relationship with the Zhang family is even closer than the previous one.
"Kejiu." Shi Wangyue called out as he did when he was young, "Long ti no see."
Zhang Kejiu’s gentle and elegant face deepened his smile, "We indeed haven’t seen for a long ti, today is quite a coincidence, let’s have dinner together later tonight and have a good gathering."
Shi Wangyue glanced at Ning Youguang and agreed, "Alright."
At this point, Xia Xiqing ca over, "I invited two chefs to cook at ho, everyone will eat at ho tonight, Kejiu don’t fuss."
Zhang Kejiu felt a bit embarrassed, "Uncle Xia, then am I still treating Shi and Youyou to dinner?"
Xia Xiqing waved his hand heartily, "They’re not outsiders, no need to be so polite, eat at ho so you young folks save on going back and forth, and have more ti to chat."
Ning Youguang also invited with a smile, "Kejiu, stay and eat at our house tonight."
Zhang Kejiu had no choice but to nod, "Then I’ll trouble Uncle Xia."
Xia Xiqing laughed, "What’s the trouble? It’s just a phone call, rare that you young folks gather, I’m happy."
He turned his head and looked at Xia Dai who had gathered around, "Son, go to our wine cellar and get so good wine, tonight we’ll have a good drink."
Ning Youguang didn’t drink, but didn’t restrict everyone’s joy.
Once the introductory conversation was settled, she asked Zhang Kejiu, "Kejiu, did you co to find for sothing?"
"Yes." Zhang Kejiu said, "My dad has a friend who was diagnosed with cancer. He wants to ask you to have a look, if you’re available?"
Ning Youguang asked, "What kind of cancer does Uncle’s friend have, are there any examination reports?"
"Liver cancer." Zhang Kejiu said, "I haven’t seen his examination reports, can’t understand them anyway."
"Is Uncle’s friend anxious?" Ning Youguang asked.
"Yes, anxious." Zhang Kejiu sighed, "Otherwise my dad wouldn’t have sent at this ti to ask for your help."
"How old is he?"
"Quite young, not even sixty. He runs a big business, after being diagnosed with liver cancer, he’s been seeking doctors everywhere for treatnt. Several top-notch experts both dostically and internationally have seen him without much effect." Zhang Kejiu’s face revealed a poignant expression, "He sohow found out that my mom recovered from cancer with your help in the past, and others spoke of you, so these days he’s been persistently asking my dad, wanting you to have a look for him..."
Zhang Kejiu beca increasingly apologetic, "You no longer treat people for a long ti, it’s us troubling you."
"No problem." Ning Youguang smiled kindly, "If convenient, have Uncle’s friend send the report for a look, before I know if I can be of any help."
Zhang Kejiu imdiately smiled, "Okay, okay, I’ll ask Mr. Li to send the report now."
