"Xiao Yu, this is my son. You two might be meeting for the first time. This kid has been giving me a lot of trouble lately. Could you please help me keep an eye on him when you have free time"

After seeing his son's appearance, Ye Fei said to Xiao Yu.

"Haha, Uncle Ye, young people tend to be energetic and rebellious. That’s perfectly normal!" Upon hearing Ye Fei's words, Xiao Yu chuckled and replied.

Hearing Xiao Yu's remark, Ye Fei gave a light laugh but did not speak further. However, Ye Kai and his two uncles found it very uncomfortable. How old was Xiao Yu He acted as if he were an elderly person, which made them feel extremely uneasy. But with Ye Fei present, they didn't dare say anything; all they could do was stay silent.

Xiao Yu naturally noticed this but remained silent without saying a word.

Seeing his son and brother-in-law's demeanor, Ye Fei frowned slightly. They had never disclosed Xiao Yu’s identity to anyone outside their family. Only Meng Liping knew about it, while everyone else was clueless, even Ye Kai didn't know about it.

However, when he saw that his son wasn’t acting too abnormally, Ye Fei decided not to say anything further and wait until Xiao Yu left before addressing the issue with his son.

"Liping, please help bring out Grandpa!" Ye Fei said to Meng Liping.

"Alright. Xiao Yu, please stay here for a moment while I go get him. I'll be right back!" Meng Liping told Xiao Yu and then went upstairs immediately.

Soon after, Meng Liping brought down an elderly man in his seventies from the second floor.

Xiao Yu looked up at this old man who appeared very haggard with no sparkle in his eyes; he was staring blankly into the distance.

"Old sir, please extend your hand." After Meng Liping helped him sit down on the sofa, Xiao Yu said to the elderly man.

The elderly man didn’t react to Xiao Yu’s words. Seeing that there was no response from the old man, Xiao Yu waved his hand in front of the man’s face; however, the old man's eyes did not even blink.

"Please lift his arm and place it here!" When Xiao Yu saw that the elderly man showed no reaction, he instructed Meng Liping.

"Yes, yes......" Meng Liping hurriedly agreed several times and then placed her father's hand on the armrest of the sofa. Xiao Yu reached out to take his pulse.

After a while, Xiao Yu let go of the old man's wrist but did not open his eyes; instead, he kept them half-closed as he thought quietly.

Xiao Yu had already formed an initial idea about this old man’s illness: due to extreme yearning and longing, his soul was no longer in its proper place. However, where the man's soul currently resided, Xiao Yu had yet to discern.

As soon as the elderly man came down from upstairs, under Xiao Yu's yin-yang eyes' observation, he noticed something amiss about this old man because he discovered that only half of his soul was within him while the other half seemed to be missing.

Xiao Yu’s diagnosis through pulse-taking revealed symptoms strikingly similar to those of lovesickness in legends. Hence, Xiao Yu could roughly speculate that the elderly man's illness was due to extreme longing and yearning for someone or something.

"When did you start feeling like this, sir And where have you been going since you got sick"

After a while, Xiao Yu opened his eyes and looked at Meng Liping as he asked.

"This........!" Meng Liping hesitated for a moment. She had not been here these past days and only rushed back upon hearing the news of her father’s severe illness; therefore, she turned to look at her two brothers when Xiao Yu spoke.

Meng Liping's two brothers and their wives could not help but laugh awkwardly when they saw Meng Liping looking at them. They had also been away from home these days and only returned upon receiving a call from the housekeeper.

"Little Zhang, come out for a moment!" Seeing Meng Liping’s expression, her two brothers looked somewhat embarrassed as they called out to someone inside.

Soon after their shout, a middle-aged woman in her forties with an apron tied around her waist walked out of the kitchen. Looking at the two people, she said, "Young masters, what is it that you need"

"Little Zhang, how did you take care of sir Why has he fallen so ill! Tell us where he went these past few days." Meng Liping's brother first scolded for a while and then asked.

Hearing the words of Meng Liping’s brother, the housekeeper’s body trembled violently. Although she did not know much about this family, she was well aware that their power was formidable; squashing her would be as easy as stepping on an ant. Therefore, when she saw Meng Liping's brother's expression and heard his words, fear instantly gripped her heart.

"Second Brother, shut up!" Upon hearing the scolding from his brother, Meng Liping glared at him and said.

He feared that his younger brother's words might scare the nanny into not telling the truth, so after hearing what his brother said, he quickly called out to stop him.

"Xiao Zhang, come over here. I'm not blaming you; it's just that the doctor needs to know what activities the old man has been involved in recently to determine the illness!" After calling her younger brother back, Meng Liping spoke gently and amicably to the nanny.

Seeing Meng Liping, the nanny gradually calmed down. She had always felt cared for by Meng Liping before, and hearing her words now helped ease her mind even more.

The nanny then recounted the old man's whereabouts in recent days right there in the living room.

Hearing the nanny’s account, Xiao Yu thought to himself: Indeed, this elderly person is suffering from lovesickness. It turns out that his wife had passed away only a few months ago. Since then, the old man’s mental state has not been good.

Several days ago, as the Spring Festival was approaching and his children were busy with their own affairs, he found himself alone at home feeling rather bleak and thus thought about his late wife.

After losing his spouse, his mental condition deteriorated. And because of the approaching New Year’s holiday without companionship, this longing intensified even further.

So he asked the nanny to accompany him on a visit to the public cemetery where he sat all day long until it got dark and only left after dusk. The next morning, the old man had turned into this state.

Hearing what the nanny said, Xiao Yu nodded and remarked, "Indeed!"

"Xiao Yu, how is the elder doing" Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Ye Fei quickly asked him out of concern. Upon hearing Ye Fei’s question, Meng Liping also listened attentively.

Even though she did not often inquire about such matters, as Ye Fei's wife, she knew a little bit about Xiao Yu and his remarkable medical skills. Hearing what he said and seeing the expression on his face, they could tell that he had identified the cause of the illness and thus listened carefully.

"The elder is suffering from lovesickness!" Responding to Ye Fei’s question, Xiao Yu nodded as he explained.

"Lovesickness" Upon hearing this, Ye Fei and others appeared puzzled. The old man was already in his seventies; at such an age, who could he possibly be pining for Could it be their mother But the elder had always been at odds with their mother throughout her life, often wishing each other dead.

"Let's go to your mother’s grave. The solution lies where the problem was created; since his illness stems from this longing, let him visit your grandmother’s resting place. Perhaps it will bring him some relief,"

Xiao Yu said to Meng Liping and the others.

After hearing the babysitter's account, Xiao Yu understood what had happened. It was likely that because of his intense longing, when he returned from the cemetery, his body came back but part of his soul remained there.

However, Xiao Yu couldn't explain it this way and could only say that he suffered from lovesickness. This kind of situation could indeed be considered a severe case of lovesickness.

"Oh, oh, okay!" They were somewhat familiar with Xiao Yu's medical skills, especially Ye Fei who knew him very well. Hearing Xiao Yu's words, even though they didn't understand why he was saying this, they still hurriedly agreed.

Xiao Yu and Ye Fei drove Ms. Meng Li Ping and the old man to the public cemetery. Meanwhile, Ms. Meng Li Ping’s two brothers and their families separately followed Xiao Yu's car in different vehicles towards the cemetery.

After arriving at the cemetery, they went to the memorial hall where the老太太的骨灰盒 was placed. When Xiao Yu arrived there, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at one of the walls. Underneath it lay a single urn quietly on a shelf. With Xiao Yu's yin-yang vision, a faint and somewhat illusory figure stood beside the urn, staring silently at the photo on top of it.

"Let the old man stand here," said Xiao Yu to the children of the elderly person.

The children of the elderly person heard Xiao Yu's words and supported their father as they came in. They brought him over to where the老太太的骨灰盒 was placed.

Once the old man had steadied himself, Xiao Yu stepped back a few steps. The soul of the elderly person now stood close to his physical body. When everyone went to light incense for the老太太, Xiao Yu stood behind them and gently moved his hands.

As Xiao Yu's hands moved, the spirit beside the elderly man seemed drawn by his fleshly form, quickly entering his body and merging with the soul within him.

The moment the old person’s soul completed its fusion, he opened his eyes. His gaze gradually regained its vivacity.

Seeing the老太太's urn, he let out a small sigh.

"Dad... Dad... How are you" Seeing that the old man's eyes had regained their liveliness, Meng Li Ping and her two brothers with their sisters-in-law quickly called to him.

"Heh heh, I'm fine," said the elderly person with a light laugh when he heard his children’s voices.into Master Tang and asked why he hadn't heard of the teacher that Xiao Hongyang wanted to study under.Master Tang gave him a strange look and explained that Xiao Yu was young, but before they could d...
