A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

"Wow! What kind of fruit is this?"

Zhou Ruo asked Granny He curiously, as she had never seen her in the celestial realm.

"These are green jujubes, which Prince An picked from Princess Yu's hometown."

Zhou Ruo looked at the basket full of juicy green dates, and saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth.

Princess Yu's family was from the south, and the journey was long and bumpy.

If it weren't for good preservation and storage methods, these dates would probably have wilted by the time they reached the capital.

However, the green dates delivered to Zhao Jinzhong's courtyard are still very fresh, which shows the wealth of the Prince An's mansion and the care of Prince An.

Seeing that Zhou Ruo really liked the basket of fruit, Zhao Jinzhong instructed his servants:

"Keep everything. If Ruoruo likes it, let her choose something."

Zhou Ruo couldn't hear Zhao Jinzhong's words at all; all she could see were the green dates, which were bigger than her little fist.

She was about to pick up a date to eat when she suddenly remembered eating a banana here last time, and her hand stopped moving.

She looked at Zhao Jinzhong and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother, can I eat this fruit?"

"How incredibly polite!" Granny He chuckled to herself, covering her mouth.

Zhao Jinzhong was amused by her sudden seriousness and said indulgently:

"It's edible. If you like it, it's all yours."

"Wow--!!"

Zhou Ruo happily ran to Zhao Jinzhong's bedside, cupped his face in her little hands, and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you, brother! I really like it!"

After saying that, he quickly ran back to the fruit basket, picked up a large date with both hands, and ate it as if no one else was around.

Their joyful spirit was so endearing that it softened the hearts of those around them.

Zhao Jinzhong was stunned for a long time after being kissed by Zhou Ruo, and his face turned bright red instantly.

He was appointed a junior general before he was even ten years old. Although he was young, he was a man of unyielding spirit.

Being kissed by such a young girl, even though she was his adopted sister, was still difficult for him to accept.

Doctor Yu watched with amusement, finding it rare to see the young general so gentle and shy.

Zhao Jinzhong tried to calm himself down. He coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said:

"Dr. Yu, can we remove these silver needles now?"

He wasn't asking a question; he was giving Dr. Yu an order to remove the needles and leave immediately.

Doctor Yu immediately understood; the young general really cared a lot about his reputation.

He quickly took the silver needles and put them in his bag, not even noticing that a few needles were missing.

After receiving Zhao Jinzhong's permission, Zhou Ruo ate to her heart's content.

She didn't even know when Doctor Yu left.

Soon, Zhou Ruo ate three dates.

When she spat out the third date pit, she realized that Zhao Jinzhong had been staring at her the whole time.

Her eyes darted around, and she seemed to have thought of something. She picked up a jujube, jumped off the stool, and walked towards Zhao Jinzhong.

"Brother, here's a date for you."

Zhou Ru handed the green jujubes to Zhao Jinzhong, and seeing that he stood there motionless, she said:

"Brother, please eat, it's delicious, don't be shy!"

Zhao Jinzhong's breathing visibly moved. He suppressed a laugh for a while before finally asking:

"Ruoruo, why did you call Doctor Yu a fake doctor this morning?"

Zhao Jinzhong could tell from Zhou Ruo's facial expression and tone that Zhou Ruo hadn't mispronounced her name because she forgot.

Zhao Jinzhong's question seemed to have touched a sore spot for her.

Zhou Ruo turned around, sat on the edge of the bed, crossed her arms, pouted, and huffed, sulking.

"What's wrong? Did this fake doctor upset Ruoruo?"

Zhao Jinzhong asked her, half-jokingly.

"Who told him to laugh at me for being illiterate!" Zhou Ruo said angrily.

She was a fairy doctor. In her previous life, she wrote prescriptions with ease and grace. She was never ridiculed for being illiterate.

Zhao Jinzhong didn't react for a moment.

Zhou Ruo added, "He doesn't even know how to use all those purple peony leaves in your yard that can relieve pain."

"And he gives you so many useless needles every day. If he's not a fake doctor, what is he?"

Zhao Jinzhong rarely saw Zhou Ruo take things so seriously, and he found her angry expression quite adorable.

"So...can you read?"

"I!..." Zhou Ruo wanted to refute the fact that she was illiterate, but she realized that she really did not know any of the world's written characters.

Her stubbornness vanished instantly; she lowered her hands and said dejectedly, "I don't know her."

Since entering the General's Mansion and the Martial Virtue Academy, Zhou Ruo has devoted herself to relieving Zhao Jinzhong's pain without hesitation.

Zhao Jinzhong didn't say it, but he kept thinking about how to treat Zhou Ruo better so as to repay her for saving his life.

At this moment, he realized that Zhou Ru seemed to care a lot about what others said about her being illiterate.

It's quite normal for a four-year-old child to be illiterate, although Zhao Jinzhong didn't know why Zhou Ruo cared so much.

But since she's unhappy about this, he can help her learn to read to cheer her up.

"How about your brother teaches you to read?"

"Hmm?" Zhou Ruo slowly raised her head, thought for a moment, and realized, "Oh right! If I don't know it, I can learn it!"

She's such a clever healer, she'll definitely learn very quickly.

With a solution to the problem, Zhou Ruo instantly regained her cheerful mood.

"Really? Brother, you'd like to teach me?"

"Of course. You saved my life and helped me recover, so what's a little extra effort in teaching you to read?"

"Great! Brother is going to teach me to read!" Zhou Ruo excitedly jumped off the bed, put her hands on her hips, and looked out the window:

"Once I can read, I'll be able to write prescriptions too. Then let's see if that fake doctor will still laugh at me then!"

Zhou Ruo's lively and adorable appearance amused Zhao Jinzhong, and her arrival became the key to turning Zhao Jinzhong's fate around.

After Doctor Yu left Wude Academy, he immediately went to report to the general and his wife because Zhao Jinzhong had suddenly moved six toes.

Upon hearing the good news reported by Doctor Yu, Ji Ping was so excited that she wiped away tears.

Zhao Yucheng was also very happy and rewarded Doctor Yu handsomely. Then he and Ji Ping went to Wude Academy to visit their son.

As soon as the couple stepped into Wude Courtyard, they heard Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo's cheerful laughter coming from inside.

The two exchanged a glance; such laughter had long since disappeared from the General's Mansion.

Hearing it again now, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Yucheng were overjoyed.

Zhao Yucheng wanted to reward Zhou Ruo with something, but it seemed that rewarding such a young child would not make much sense.

So he kept observing, trying to see what the child lacked or liked, and then he catered to his preferences.

But after observing for a while, he discovered that the child only liked to eat fruit and didn't even eat meat.

Her desires were noticeably lower than those of children her age, and for a moment I really didn't know how to treat her better.

"Zhong'er!" Ji Ping excitedly walked into Zhao Jinzhong's room.

"Doctor Yu said your foot can move again? Quick! Let your mother see!"

Zhao Jinzhong's complexion gradually improved, and seeing his parents happy about his recovery gave him even more motivation.

He moved his toes again, and they were more flexible than in the morning.

"Husband, is it true? Did you see it? Zhong'er's feet can move!"

Ji Ping could hardly believe it; she was afraid that the happiness she felt at this moment was just a dream.
