Yan Xiaobao made up his mind and stepped forward to wrap his arm around Xia Rou's waist. "Rourou, let's go."
Xia Rou pushed Yan Xiaobao's hand away. "I'm not your wife yet. Take care of the patient first, then we'll talk."
"Alright, then I'll go help you treat the patient right now. Let's hurry." Yan Xiaobao stopped trying to hold Xia Rou by the waist and instead grabbed her hand, quickly walking away in excitement.
The two patrol officers stared blankly as Yan Xiaobao left.
What the hell is this guy's brain made of? He was just calling Han Ruobing his wife, and now he calls someone else his wife? What kind of nonsense is this…
Luckily, Han Ruobing had already left. Otherwise, today's scene would have been impossible to clean up… After all, she's someone who detests flirty, fickle men who abandon relationships…
...
As they walked out of the airport building, Xia Rou asked, "Are you planning to immediately come with me to treat the patient?"
Yan Xiaobao answered seriously, "We agreed that once I cure the patient, you'll become my wife. Of course, I'll treat them now. If I'm late and someone else beats me to it, wouldn't you end up as someone else's wife? That can't happen."
"..." Xia Rou was speechless at Yan Xiaobao's bizarre logic and then added, "The patient isn't in Binhai right now. Let me go back, arrange some things, and then I'll take you to the patient."
"Oh…" Yan Xiaobao thought it over and said, "Alright, but make sure no one beats me to it and treats them first."
Xia Rou placed a hand on her forehead and nodded silently.
Her younger sister Xia Yan had already been in a vegetative state, bedridden for ten years. If it were possible to cure her, she would have been treated long ago. This guy is afraid someone else will get there first? It's utterly absurd...
Seeing Yan Xiaobao still patiently staying by her side, showing no sign of exchanging contact info and saying goodbye, Xia Rou asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Yan Xiaobao looked at Xia Rou with an "Isn't it obvious?" expression and said, "Wherever you go, I'll go. Isn't that obvious?"
"I'm going home now; are you going with me?" Xia Rou was taken aback. "Aren't you going home?"
Yan Xiaobao replied, "My home isn't here."
"..." Xia Rou asked again, "What did you come to Binhai for? Don't you have any relatives or friends here to pick you up?"
"Oh yeah!" Yan Xiaobao slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot. I'm here to find Xiao Wan. I'll give her a call…"
With a head full of black lines, Xia Rou watched Yan Xiaobao pull out his phone to search for a number and thought to herself: This guy… He doesn't go three sentences without mentioning 'wife.' There's truly no one like him… Coming to Binhai to find someone but not even informing them in advance…
Just as Yan Xiaobao was about to make the call, he suddenly put his phone down again. "No, I won't call. I'll appear suddenly in front of Xiao Wan and give her a big surprise."
"Didn't expect you to know a thing or two about romantic gestures." Xia Rou looked at Yan Xiaobao with a teasing smirk. "So, where's your Xiao Wan? If you don't know where she is, I can point you in the right direction."
Yan Xiaobao replied, "Xiao Wan is studying at Binhai University. You can drop me off at Binhai University."
This guy really doesn't hold back, even asking a beauty to give him a ride! However, Binhai University happened to be along the way, so Xia Rou flagged down a taxi and took Yan Xiaobao to Binhai University.
...
Binhai University is a comprehensive institution offering a variety of disciplines, including arts, sciences, business, and law. Renowned both nationally and internationally, it's one of the "Yanhuang Four Great" universities. The main campus sits beside the picturesque East Lake, spanning nearly a thousand acres, and with its surrounding affiliated facilities, it resembles a small town.
However, the campus of Binhai University was eerily quiet at this moment, with barely anyone entering or exiting the spacious gates—because it was currently summer vacation…
Standing at the gates of Binhai University, Yan Xiaobao thought about it for a moment and decided to resist the urge to call her.
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder. It had already been a full year since they were apart. Since he had decided to give her a surprise, there was no way he could give up halfway.
At worst, he'd wait until Xiao Wan returned for the new semester. It wasn't long until the school reopened anyway. He'd already waited a year; what's another few days?
Other than Xiao Wan, whom he referred to as "wife," Yan Xiaobao didn't know anyone else in Binhai. Left with no choice, Xia Rou decided to take him to her medical clinic.
After all, she still wanted him to try treating her sister. She couldn't very well just let him sleep on the streets.
They arrived at the entrance of Xia Rou's clinic, where Yan Xiaobao took a couple of glances around.
Above the door was an old sign that seemed to have some history, with three large characters written in calligraphy: "Dexi Hall." The clinic was modest, a single room shop spanning about thirty to forty square meters, with two rows of tall herb cabinets on either side inside, emitting a strong aroma of traditional medicine.
"Sister Xia Rou, you're back?" A petite young girl walked out of Dexin Hall to greet them. The girl had a delicate and charming appearance, exuding a cute vibe. She was the only formal employee of Dexin Hall—Zheng Xiaoyu.
But Yan Xiaobao took only one look at Zheng Xiaoyu before averting his gaze. This girl wasn't pretty enough, not meeting his standards for a wife, so he couldn't be bothered to look further.
"Sister Xia Rou, I'll help you take the luggage inside." Following Zheng Xiaoyu was a lean young man who was currently a student at Binhai University working part-time at the clinic—Chen Long.
As for men, Yan Xiaobao was even less interested in giving them a glance. The Immortal Sister had said this: He was the one and only man on this planet, and no other men deserved to be compared to him.
"Sister Xia Rou, who's he?" Zheng Xiaoyu pointed at Yan Xiaobao and asked.
Xia Rou walked into the clinic as she replied, "His name is Yan Xiaobao. I brought him here to take a look at my sister's condition. He's a doctor."
"A doctor?" Zheng Xiaoyu's eyes widened as she looked at Yan Xiaobao skeptically. "Him?"
Even Chen Long, standing nearby, didn't believe it. These days, to become a doctor, even having a medical school undergraduate degree wasn't enough; one needed at least a year of work experience to qualify for the medical licensing exam. Yan Xiaobao looked even younger than him—how could he possibly be a doctor?
Yan Xiaobao didn't pay the slightest attention to Zheng Xiaoyu's or Chen Long's disbelief. He wasn't interested in either of them, so why would he care what they thought?
But Zheng Xiaoyu seemed hesitant and asked cautiously, "Yan Xiaobao, you claim to be a doctor—are you a traditional Chinese medicine doctor or a Western medicine doctor? Do you have a medical license?"
"Chinese medicine? Western medicine?" Yan Xiaobao curled his lips and replied sincerely, "Neither. I'm a Divine Doctor."
"Pfft!" Zheng Xiaoyu gave him a disdainful look, her impression of Yan Xiaobao sinking further. Calling himself a Divine Doctor? Definitely nonsense, or he was one of those fraudsters from worldly society.
"You don't believe me?" Yan Xiaobao glared at Zheng Xiaoyu, finally taking a closer look at her before saying, "I'll give you a secret recipe for breast enhancement. Within a month, I guarantee you'll go from an A-cup to a C-cup!"
