"Once the supplies for the tomb raiding arrive tomorrow, we'll set off tonight."

After Ye Tian and Sun Yongqiang finished their plan, they leaned back in their chairs and closed their eyes to rest.

This technical job is too draining on my energy and spirit.

A hint of fatigue, barely perceptible, flickered between their brows.

About half an hour later.

"Squeak." The clinic door was pushed open.

"Uncle Ye!"

A small figure rushed over like a cannonball; it was the little boy whose life he had saved, named Xiaotong.

His face was rosy and his eyes were bright; there was no trace of illness in him now.

"Uncle Ye, this is a rag doll my mom sewed for me. Isn't it pretty? It's smiling at you!"

The little boy held a clean, slightly clumsy-stitched rag doll tightly in his arms and presented it to Ye Tian like a treasure.

"It's so pretty! Your mom is so skillful; she can even sew rag dolls for you."

Did the child take his medicine on time today?

Ye Tian bent down and gently rubbed his hair, a gentle smile appearing in his eyes.

"I drank it, but that medicine is so bitter!"

But Mom said it was medicine prescribed by Uncle Ye, so I closed my eyes and drank it all in one gulp!

The little boy puffed out his chest, looking proud.

Her mother followed behind, came in with a rag in her hand, and began cleaning the clinic.

His face wore a serene smile, a smile that suggested he had survived a disaster.

She bowed slightly to Ye Tian and Sun Yongqiang without saying a word, but everything was understood without being spoken.

The rural woman was kind-hearted; she felt that Ye Tian had saved her child and her husband, and she should repay his life-saving kindness.

But she knew nothing, had no money, and only her strength.

He made up his mind to come to the clinic every day to help with cleaning in order to repay the kindness.

Ye Tian had already advised her yesterday that she didn't need to repay him.

But she didn't say anything. She still came to clean on time today, without taking a penny, and left as soon as she finished the work.

Since he had some rare free time, Ye Tian played with the child.

The entire clinic was filled with the happy laughter of children.

-

The sound of high heels approached from afar, the rhythm slightly faster than usual, revealing the owner's eagerness.

"Honey, Dr. Sun, you're here too."

Su Qingying walked in with light steps, and when she saw that there were other people, her expression immediately became more composed.

"What's going on? You've only known each other for a day, how come you're already calling me 'husband'?"

Sun Yongqiang asked Ye Tian with an incredulous look on his face.

"The speed of a relationship's progress cannot be measured by the length of time they have known each other."

After all, how can you have the patience to slowly win someone over at first sight?

Su Qingying put her arm around Ye Tian's neck and answered for him.

"Got it. Should we avoid this area?"

Sun Yongqiang winked at Ye Tian.

"No need, we can talk in the car. My car is right outside."

Su Qingying pulled Ye Tian and ran outside.

Back in the car, she took off her expensive white coat.

She wore a beige openwork cashmere knit sweater underneath, paired with well-tailored cropped casual pants.

The high heels on her feet made her long, shapely legs look even more alluring.

Her jet-black hair, instead of being meticulously tied up as usual, was loosely draped over her shoulders.

A few stray hairs fell beside her cheeks, making her cool and aloof features appear even more delicate and charming.

"Honey, take a look at this."

She was carrying a rather heavy-looking document bag.

The car was parked at the edge of the tree's shadow, and sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on her face.

It made her beautiful eyes appear exceptionally deep.

"Miss Su, what are you doing?" Ye Tian raised his hand to ask.

"On behalf of the top private hospital in Diancheng, and myself, I formally appoint Mr. Ye as our hospital's chief TCM consultant and honorary president."

This is the letter of appointment, along with the relevant cooperation intentions and resource support plan.

The hospital will fully cooperate, both in terms of hardware and resources, to provide you with the best platform.

Her voice was clear, but something was subtly swaying deep in her eyes.

She paused, then added, "This was a decision made by the entire hospital committee, and also my personal strong recommendation."

The largest private hospital in Diancheng is owned by my Su family.

You deserve this honor; the patients in this city need you too.

Ye Tian picked up the heavy document bag, but without opening it, gently put it back.

"Please thank the hospital for their kindness, but it's not necessary."

I told you last night that I would be leaving soon.

Su Qingying seemed to have expected this, but seeing him refuse without even asking about the conditions, she still couldn't help but ask:

"I know, but you haven't left yet, have you?"

With your medical skills, why would you prefer to work at this small clinic rather than go to the best private hospital in Diancheng?

We need you, there are many more patients who need you…

"Qingying," Ye Tian called her by her name for the first time, interrupting her, his gaze passing over her shoulder and looking out the car window at the city.

"Although I can cure diseases, I cannot save everyone's life."

Besides, I'm leaving tomorrow, so why give them hope only to cut it off myself?

"Doing this is too cruel for them."

Ye Tian's voice was deep, carrying a sense of vicissitude that seemed to transcend the years.

Su Qingying fell silent.

She recalled Ye Tian's silver needles that could manipulate clouds and rain, and the Qingxin Suanming Dan that Ye Tian had mastered with his bare hands. Those unpredictable and heaven-defying medical skills—who else in this world could possess them besides Ye Tian?

But the man before me, his stage, his battlefield, has never been within this small clinic and medicine cabinet.

"Where are you going?" she heard her own voice tremble as she asked.

"Don't ask, I'm going to a very dangerous place where I need to find out the truth."

Just live your own life well.

Ye Tian withdrew his gaze and landed on her face, his eyes calm yet incredibly firm.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the locust tree leaves rustled together, like countless tiny sighs.

A moment of silence fell between them, broken only by the faint sound of wind rustling through the leaves outside the car window.

Su Qingying suddenly moved forward, and the distance between the two of them suddenly closed.

She raised her eyes and looked directly into Ye Tian's eyes, where her own slightly awkward figure was reflected.

"I was too narrow-minded before. I only believed in data, instruments, and the conclusions written in black and white in papers."

I look down on traditions and medical techniques of dubious origin; I consider them outdated and should be eliminated.

She gave a self-deprecating laugh, a laugh tinged with bitterness, but mostly filled with a sense of liberation, like emerging from a cocoon.

"Until I saw you reverse mass poisoning that modern medicine declared incurable, using the simplest silver needles."

Until I watched you concoct the Mind-Clearing and Life-Sustaining Pill with your bare hands, curing Shen Wanshan, the president of the Diancheng Chamber of Commerce, who was on the verge of death.

I then realized that truly powerful medical skills are never about what kind of guise they wear, but about whether they can cure diseases and save lives.

Her voice trembled slightly, carrying a deeper sense of emotion:

"The path you are about to take, I may never be able to fully understand."

But thank you for letting me know that the world of medicine is far more vast than I thought.

She paused, as if finally gathering her courage: "Honey, I think I've truly fallen in love with you."
