Chapter 6 Being a Filial Son/Daughter

  Suddenly, such an idea rose in his heart, which scared Wang Zhi and quickly erased it from his mind. Also, considering Wang Zhi's current age, talking about getting married and having children is indeed too early, but can Wang Zhi's age be calculated by his apparent age?

  In the years that had just passed, Wang Zhi gradually adapted to that life and once had a loving wife, but he could never have children of his own. Later, Wang Zhi gradually came to realize that he possessed an immortal body and it was impossible for him to have children. Watching his loved one grow old before his eyes, Wang Zhi froze his heart from then on. However, just this morning, Wang Zhi felt as though he had finally shaken off the confusion of being immortal. The loneliness of a thousand years slowly began to dissipate, and now, under Xu Xiaoran's unintentional ambiguous behavior, it was only natural that a glimmer of longing suddenly rose up in his heart.

  He and Xu Xiaoran walked slowly along the lake for more than an hour, and Xu Xiaoran felt a bit tired. They found a chair and sat down again.

  Xu Xiaoran looked at Wang Zhitong's red face and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, is it very hot?"

  "A bit." Wang Zhi hastily nodded, feeling a little guilty. This lady finally put down her arm, letting out a sigh of relief for Wang Zhi. Although Xu Xiaoran's figure was slender, the mountain peak on her chest was not small, making Wang Zhi still feel a little regretful.

  "It's indeed a bit dazzling today." Xu Xiaoran seemed to be unaware of Wang Zhi's embarrassment, looked up at the sun above her head, and leaned back against Wang Zhi's shoulder, causing Wang Zhi's heart to tense up again. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "This lady can't be doing it on purpose, can she?"

  It's no wonder that Wang Zhi is suspicious, Xu Xiaoran's behavior today is indeed a bit over the line. If you say it was an unconscious action earlier, how can this be explained? No matter how good their relationship is, after all, men and women are different, and as a girl, Xu Xiaoran should care more than Wang Zhi.

  Actually, Wang Zhi was a bit off this time. To say that Xu Xiaoran had a good impression of Wang Zhi is undeniable, but to say that she liked or loved him is still far from it. Of course, if Wang Zhi pursued her aggressively, there might still be a chance.

  Xu Xiaoran has been under pressure from her family since she returned home after graduating from school, and has also been entangled by several spoiled sons. It can be said that she has been suppressed for a long time. This time, she took the opportunity to come out and breathe fresh air on the pretext of visiting her brother. Coincidentally, she met Wang Zhi, who gave her a good feeling. Xu Xiaoran, who had no sense of belonging in her heart, naturally didn't have too many worries, completely relaxed herself, and treated Wang Zhi as if he were an intimate friend, revealing her inner unhappiness and repression to him.

  "Alright, handsome, I'm going to the hospital to deliver lunch to my brother and sister-in-law. Keep in touch when you're free." About thirty minutes later, Xu Xiaoran stood up, patted Wang Zhi's shoulder, and said softly.

  "Okay." Wang Zhi responded with a hint of reluctance, an emotion he hadn't felt in a long time. No wonder people say beautiful women are the best medicine for men's psychological illnesses. After spending two hours with Xu Xiaoran, Wang Zhi felt more and more liberated.

  After seeing off Xu Xiaoran, Wang Zhi's mood became even better, and he walked back and forth along the quiet path.

  As soon as I walked into the house, I saw my father Wang Tianyuan hastily walking out.

  "What's wrong, Dad?" Wang Zhi hastily asked.

  "Ah! Don't mention it, your grandfather's medical clinic just called to say that someone is in critical condition due to the prescription he wrote and they're making a scene!" Wang Tianyuan said with a worried expression. As a doctor, this was what he feared most. If the other party were reasonable, it would be fine, but if they weren't, there would definitely be trouble.

  "I'll go with you." Wang Zhi hastily replied upon hearing his father's words.

  "Alright, you can go and help out a bit too." Wang Tianyuan didn't refuse and hastily walked outside.

  Wang Zhi's grandfather, Wang Yizhi, is sixty-five years old this year. After retiring from the municipal hospital five years ago, he was not satisfied with his quiet life and rented a storefront nearby to open a small clinic to treat minor illnesses.

  Wang Yizhi has been practicing medicine for many years and is also very cautious, so all these years have been smooth sailing. But this time the situation turned out to be quite unusual.

  Wang Tianyuan and Wang Zhi hailed a taxi at the door and arrived at the clinic in ten minutes. As soon as they got out of the car, Wang Zhi found that there were many people gathered at the entrance of the clinic.

  Pushing through the crowd, Wang Zhi and his father Fei made their way in, only to see an old man of about sixty lying on the clinic bed, while Wang Zhi's grandfather Wang Yi was surrounded by five or six people.

  "Dad, what's going on?" Wang Tianyuan hastily walked over and asked.

  "Alas! The medicine has a problem, and these people are all blaming it on my prescription." Wang Yi Zhi sighed and said.

  "Old man, stop quibbling! My dad fainted after watching at your place and you have to take responsibility. If anything happens to him, we won't let you off!" A middle-aged man surrounding Wang Yi Zhi shouted angrily.

  "What's wrong with you?" Wang Zhi, who was watching the old man's situation, suddenly became angry and asked in a cold voice.

  At this time, Wang Zhi had already understood the patient's situation. At this moment, the patient was breathing weakly and was in a very critical condition. These people didn't rush to think of ways to rescue him, but instead were entangled here, obviously wanting to use the old man as a bargaining chip to extort money, while they had long forgotten about the old man's life or death.

  The middle-aged man was stunned by Wang Zhi's cold shout, and just as he was about to get angry, the words behind him were forced back by Wang Zhi's sharp eyes.

  "What are you yelling about? You think yelling makes you not responsible?" Seeing the man being stunned, the woman behind him shouted angrily.

  "May I ask how you and the patient address each other?" Wang Zhi asked in a soft voice.

  "I am his daughter." The woman puffed out her chest, looking confident and self-assured.

  "Damn you!" Wang Zhi suddenly roared, looking at the woman with disdain: "Don't insult the word 'daughter' again."

  "Look, your father - let's just call him that for now - is already in a state of oxygen debt, clearly on his last legs. What are you doing instead of rushing him to get emergency treatment? You're wasting time here arguing with me. I really question your intentions." Wang Zhi was visibly angry at this point. As the saying goes, "A doctor's heart is like that of a parent." Wang Zhi always had a compassionate heart when it came to his patients, but these people, the patient's own children, were engaging in extortion and blackmail, completely disregarding their father's life or death.

  "You... you... that's also your responsibility, if it weren't for you, my dad wouldn't be like this either." The woman, who had been scolded by Wang Zhi, defended herself with a slightly flushed face.

  "Now is it useful to say these things? Are you trying to take your father's life or something else?" Wang Zhi sneered.

  "We naturally want my dad to be healthy." The woman's voice was barely audible.

  "Hmph, since that's the case, then shut up." Wang Zhi coldly glanced at the woman and ignored her, turning to face the old man on the hospital bed.
