Chapter 255: Li Yi’s Benefactor

"Yes." The Medicine Elder’s face instantly lit up with joy. He knew Zhu Yanyi was his sweet little comfort. "My disciple disagrees, so see how you can snatch her away."

The Boss looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Little Ani, I remember your master calls you that."

"Yes, Ani is my nickname. My full name is Zhu Yanyi." Zhu Yanyi smiled. If strangers called her by her nickname, she wouldn’t answer. But this man was an elder she respected, so she didn’t mind her using it.

The Boss nodded, as if remembering something. "A nickname. I had one when I was little, too. It was 'Woodhead'." He sighed. "But as I grew up, no one called me that anymore." Nicknames made people feel closer. Now, even his wife didn’t use it.

Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, not understanding why he said that. The Medicine Elder sighed beside her. "When you get old, childhood memories become clearer. Thinking back, those times were the best." He looked at Zhu Yanyi. "So cherish your youth now. Enjoy this time. When you are old, you will have memories."

Zhu Yanyi touched the Medicine Elder’s forehead to check for fever. Satisfied, she said, "Grandpa Medicine, why are you sighing? In a few years, when you don’t want to work, you can retire to Sicheng Town. I kept the house. I didn’t rent it out. I just have someone clean it regularly. I stay there when I have time. So don’t worry about being lonely. It will be hard to be lonely there."

Zhu Yanyi understood the loneliness in old people’s hearts. She had felt it in her past life, too. Even with her nephew and her children, the loneliness was hidden. But now, she could comfort people. That was what she did.

The Medicine Elder’s sadness vanished instantly. "You are right. When I am old and retire, I will go back to Sicheng Town."

"See, Old Medicine? You said 'when I am old.' That means you are not old now. You are two years older than me. If you don’t feel old, why should I?" The Boss teased him.

The Medicine Elder huffed, ignoring the provocation. "Is your body as good as mine? I eat well and feel great. Do you? If you were as healthy as me, would you be in the hospital?"

The Boss was speechless. She looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Little Ani, how did you end up with such a master?"

Zhu Yanyi sighed, looking serious. "Grandpa Medicine, remember you are here for rounds. The Boss is your patient. As a doctor, you must be generous. Understand the patient’s unreasonable behavior."

The Medicine Elder was speechless.

The Boss was speechless.

Both were silent. Zhu Yanyi spoke again. "Grandpa Medicine, please check the Boss’s body now. Look, listen, ask, and feel the pulse. You only did the pulse check. You talked a lot, but didn’t mention her health. So, Grandpa Medicine, this is wrong." She gave him a blaming look.

The Medicine Elder felt ashamed. He was a doctor. Doctors shouldn’t argue with patients. He was wrong. He lowered his head and admitted his mistake silently.

Old and young alike need guidance.
