Chapter 2298

"Here you are, not even finished eating, and you are already thinking about the next time," Yan Aohan said with a helpless smile. "Hurry up and eat. The food tastes bad when it gets cold."

A man at the neighboring table spoke up, "Looking at the two of you, you must be newlyweds, right?"

"You can tell just by looking? We have been married for just over a month." They did not mention the registration details.

"I can tell by how warm your interaction is," the man said with a sigh of emotion. "When I got married, my wife and I were just like this."

"Brother Popo, you are thinking of your sister-in-law again," someone from another table said. This person clearly knew the man.

"Brother Popo? That is an interesting title," Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly.

"I liked singing opera when I was young, but I always played the role of the old woman, so everyone called me 'Popo Zai' (Little Old Woman) back then. As I got older, it became 'Brother Popo'," Brother Popo answered straightforwardly.

Yan Aohan asked, "Brother Popo, do you really like singing opera?" He asked because Brother Popo was humming while drinking.

"I do," Brother Popo said. "I have liked it since I was a child. My grandfather sang opera his whole life. I grew up with him and gradually liked it too. However, my grandfather played the role of the old man, but I prefer the role of the old woman."

In Peking Opera, men often play female roles, so people did not mind this.

"The tune you were humming just now seems to be the famous Drunken Concubine," Yan Aohan said with a smile.

"Yes," Brother Popo looked at Yan Aohan. "But I can only hum the tune of Drunken Concubine. I cannot sing it properly because there is no role for an old woman in that play. Actually, I prefer The Generals of the Yang Family. I have a unique style when singing the role of She Taijun."

Seeing Brother Popo so excited, Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi could see that he truly loved performing.

"Brother Popo, here is your clay pot," the boss said, bringing the dish over.

Brother Popo poured two liang of white liquor and ate while drinking. "Coming here every night has become my habit. Since my wife passed away, this place has become my evening activity spot."

"Brother Popo, you need to take care of your health too. I heard your daughter is not doing well either," the boss said, placing a snack on Brother Popo’s table. "This is for your daughter. It is corn porridge I made myself. It does not cost much."

"Thank you," Brother Popo said directly.

"I heard the Divine Doctor has returned. The Divine Doctor now is the Little Divine Doctor from back then. I heard her medical skills have improved greatly. She is the best in all of China," the person from the other table said, raising her thumb. "I say, Brother Popo, you should go find the Divine Doctor. Maybe your daughter can be saved."

Brother Popo was not surprised. "I have already decided. I will go find the Divine Doctor tomorrow. I just do not know if she will be at the Capital Hospital tomorrow."

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan exchanged a glance. Zhu Yanyi said, "Brother Popo, is your daughter’s illness very serious?"

Brother Popo nodded. "My daughter has leukemia. She cannot bleed at all. If she bleeds, it will not stop. Last time, she just cut her nails and accidentally scratched her skin. She bled heavily. If we had not transfused blood in time, she would have died. My wife also died from this disease."

Brother Popo sighed. "I really do not know how my wife got this disease. I only found out she had it when she bled heavily during childbirth and could not stop. Now my daughter has it too."

As he spoke, Brother Popo wiped his face. Although his family was unfortunate, he was a strong man.

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment and said, "Brother Popo, take your daughter to the Capital Hospital tomorrow. After you arrive, call this number. She will take you to find the Divine Doctor." After speaking, Zhu Yanyi took a piece of paper from her bag, wrote a number, and gave it to Brother Popo.

Brother Popo was stunned. "Miss, you are not tricking me, are you? Is this phone number really useful?"

"It is useful," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "Just go tomorrow. You will definitely meet the Divine Doctor. Do not worry."

Brother Popo looked at Zhu Yanyi, thought for a moment, and finally seemed to make a decision. "Alright. I will take my daughter tomorrow. If I cannot find her, I will just break into the director’s practice chamber."

"No need to break in. You can find her. The Divine Doctor will be in her practice chamber at the Capital Hospital at ten o’clock tomorrow morning," Zhu Yanyi gave the answer.

Brother Popo looked at Zhu Yanyi, puzzled as to how she knew so clearly.

Zhu Yanyi did not explain. She finished her late-night snack with Yan Aohan, paid the bill, waved goodbye to Brother Popo, and left.

"You want to treat leukemia?" Yan Aohan saw through Zhu Yanyi’s thoughts.

"Leukemia is a malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. Clonal leukemia cells proliferate and accumulate in the bone marrow and other hematopoietic tissues due to mechanisms such as uncontrolled proliferation, differentiation disorders, and blocked apoptosis. They also infiltrate other non-hematopoietic tissues and organs, while suppressing normal hematopoietic function. With current medical technology, leukemia is not easy to treat, and the chance of a complete cure is very small. However, with long-term blood exchange and transfusion, if one is lucky, hematopoietic function can be regenerated, thus restoring vitality. This is only for normal situations. But for me, this disease is not really a disease. It is simply a problem with the blood, where pathogens have suppressed the ability to produce blood. I just need to use my abilities to find the problem, eliminate the pathogens, and then stimulate the blood-producing ability again."

Zhu Yanyi was not arrogant. For her, this disease was truly not difficult. "However, while treating it, I want to research drugs for treating leukemia under normal conditions. This way, even if I leave in the future, leukemia will not affect the people here."

Yan Aohan understood Zhu Yanyi’s intention. "Since that is the case, go ahead and do it boldly. I will support you."

Zhu Yanyi nodded and smiled at Yan Aohan. She had always known that her husband would always support her.

Gu Jingtian never expected that Zhu Yanyi, who had said she would rest, would come to the Capital Hospital again. She looked at her and said, "If you miss work so much, why rest at all?"

"This patient was really an unexpected encounter. I met her when I was eating late-night snacks yesterday," Zhu Yanyi explained helplessly.

"How would I know that just eating a late-night snack would lead to meeting a patient? This is really not my fault," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at Gu Jingtian with an innocent expression.

Gu Jingtian was helpless and said, "Alright. Since you want to treat patients, that is a good thing. It is good news for the patients."

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "This is a typical leukemia patient. If you assign someone to intern with me, choose carefully."

Gu Jingtian was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Are you planning to conquer the difficulty of leukemia?"
