Chapter 21: Brothers on the Way to Beijing

n, Xiao Yugang could barely make out the rough shape of his surroundings through the hazy illumination.This was a small studio apartment roughly around 30 square meters, consisting of one bedroom and...Chapter 21: Brothers Heading to Beijing

Leaning against his seat, Xiao Yu was mentally and physically exhausted, and he不知不覺地睡著了。不知過了多久,一聲長笛驚醒了夢中的蕭煜,抬頭一看動車馬上就要進北京站了。經過休息,雖然他的精神已經恢複了一些,但仍然一陣陣頭暈。他想到:“看來生死眼也不能常用啊!”

When Xiao Yu saw that the train had arrived at the station, he took out his brush pen and wrote a prescription on a piece of paper. He handed it to the mother of the little boy and said, “Sis, follow this prescription for medicine. Pay more attention to guiding your child; in ten days, Xiaoyu should be able to recover.”

After speaking, he didn’t wait for the mother’s response and headed towards the carriage door with his bag.

Zhou Ruoying held the prescription and was stunned. She felt both excited and anxious. For her son's illness, they had run to countless hospitals and sought out numerous renowned doctors, but despite taking a large amount of traditional and Western medicine, there was no improvement in her child’s condition. However, this young man she met on the train said that ten doses of medicine would cure her son. She was excited at the prospect of her son being cured with just ten doses of medicine, yet anxious because this person seemed so young—could he really diagnose and treat illnesses Wasn’t it more likely that he was a scammer

If Xiao Yu knew that people suspected him of being a scammer despite his good intentions, he would probably be very frustrated. After enduring for over ten hours, the high-speed train finally arrived in Beijing at around 7:30 PM.

In October, the evening wind in Beijing carried a chill. As Xiao Yu stepped down from the train and was hit by the cool breeze, his body shivered involuntarily. The weather in Beijing was drier and cooler compared to the deep sea, lacking the dampness and oppressive heat. Feeling the autumn wind of Beijing, Xiao Yu thought about his home, which was only a two-hour drive away. It had been more than half a year since he last went back; he wondered how his mother and sister were doing now. After completing this transaction, it was time to go home for a visit, Xiao Yu sighed inwardly.

"Second, second, big brother, I'm here..."

Xiao Yu, who was walking with his head down on the platform, suddenly heard a familiar voice. Following the sound, he saw the not-so-tall dormitory leader Zhuo Simiao jumping up and waving at him.

"Leader, what are you doing here Are you waiting for someone"

Xiao Yu walked over and hugged Zhuo Simiao, curiously asking. Xiao Yu didn't think the leader was there to meet him because when he arrived, he only told Wei Jun.

"Yeah, big brother, I'm here to pick someone up!" Zhuo Simiao chuckled and said. After a pause, he continued: "But now that I've picked you up, let's go."

Xiao Yu was taken aback and asked, "How did you know I would come"

"Talking about this makes me angry. Coming to the capital city, you didn't even give big brother a call. Do you still think of me as your leader If it weren't for that kid Wei Jun being afraid you'd be at a loss and get taken advantage of here, he wouldn't have checked your train number and told me. Big brother would still be in the dark! " Zhuo Simiao punched Xiao Yu in the chest and complained.

Xiao Yu looked at Zhuo Simiao in front of him with a feeling of warmth. During their college years, Zhuo Simiao could be said to represent the opposite extreme from Xiao Yu; while Xiao Yu was always among the bottom three students, Zhuo Simiao was invariably the number one student in his department and his scores were always more than twenty points higher than the second place. Logically speaking, two people like them shouldn't have any interaction, but such opposites ended up becoming friends.

During college, Xiao Yu's dormitory, like others, was ranked too; however, within the dormitory, whether it was because of his poor academic performance or his overwhelming popularity on the basketball team, everyone distanced themselves from him. Only the leader Zhuo Simiao always treated him as a friend and brother.

Seeing this still enthusiastic leader, Xiao Yu's eyes welled up with tears, and he smiled as he said, "I didn't want to hold you back from your romantic pursuits! However, the wind in the north is still so strong that it hurts my eyes." After speaking, he rubbed his eyes.

"You brat, don't give me that nonsense! Let's go home!"

Zhuo Simiao patted Xiao Yu on the arm and casually took his bag from him. He had received a phone call from Wei Jun in the afternoon and rushed here as soon as he got off work, and hadn’t eaten yet.

The two of them laughed their way to the parking lot at the station, where the second-in-command opened the door of a car.

"Hey, leader, impressive! You've done well for yourself, driving an Audi now How many red envelopes does this little doctor need to collect before he can afford one"

Although Xiao Yu didn't know what ZHUO Simiao's family did, he knew that they were definitely not ordinary. In his senior year of university, there was an occasion when he failed eleven out of thirteen courses and the principal wanted to talk to him. As he walked past the principal’s office door, he overheard the elder brother talking to the principal in a very respectful manner. The elder brother merely mentioned that they were good friends, after which the principal allowed Xiao Yu to retake all his exams and passed them all. From then on, Xiao Yu knew for sure that there must be something special about the elder brother’s family background, but since the elder brother never talked about it, he didn't ask either.

"It's not my car; this is a vehicle provided by my grandfather. Didn’t you see the military plates We’re going out to eat later and without a proper license plate, we’ll lose face. If Grandpa wasn't so strict, I would have picked you up at the platform."

Xiao Yu only then noticed that although it was an ordinary Audi A6, its license plate was a military one and there were stacks of passes on the windows, with the pass for Zhongnanhai being particularly noticeable. This further highlighted how extraordinary this car was.

"Elder brother, just find us somewhere to eat quickly; I have some business tonight and don't want to cause too much trouble…"

Xiao Yu checked the time and saw that it wasn’t even half past seven. Teacher CAI should still be awake at nine o'clock, and since he had done so much for him, Xiao Yu felt like he should visit his house.

"No way! If you have something to do, save it for tomorrow! I finally managed to get Grandpa’s car out today; let me enjoy myself a bit. Besides, my grandfather heard that your family has been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for generations and wants to meet you too..."

As the elder brother was driving over an elevated road towards the city center, he couldn’t help but chuckle. techniques. Others didn't have the qualifications because this medical skill was the foundation of the Li family's legacy. Even if these disciples from the branches learned medical skills, they could...
