【Mutter the Saitu website three times, do you remember? If you don't remember, I'll ask again in the next chapter. It's best to share it on Facebook.】

Luo Yan arranged for Zhao Xinyu to rest, while Luo Jianguo, Luo Baoguo, and the middle-aged men tidied up the courtyard.

Before they could finish, Dean Hu rushed out of the ward in a hurry.

This action made the three siblings, Luo Jianguo, and his sisters all stunned, and their faces instantly changed, "Dean Luo, what's wrong with our father?"

"Miraculous, too miraculous, Old Mr. Luo's vital signs have stabilized."

The sudden news made the three siblings' bodies tremble, and their faces were filled with excitement. Even a layer of mist appeared in their eyes.

Their parents had raised them with great hardship, and no matter how old their father was, they still didn't want anything to happen to him. Over the past half year, the life they had been living was unimaginable for ordinary people.

Luo Yan had been by his side day and night. They just wanted their father to stay with them a little longer, even if it was just one more day.

But as their father slipped into a deeper coma, they all knew it, yet they were unwilling to mention it. It was this belief that drove them to seek medical help continuously. Even now, the second eldest, Luo Weiguo, was still making his final efforts.

The three siblings quickly walked towards the ward, but before they reached it, a heart-wrenching cry echoed. They turned to see a woman who looked like a rural housewife, about sixty years old, drop the bags she was carrying and run towards them.

"Big Sister, why are you crying?" Luo Baoguo grabbed his eldest sister, Luo Weiguo, feeling a bit helpless. He knew why she was crying; she thought their father had passed away.

Luo Weiguo pointed to the purple orchids and white magnolias in the courtyard, "Father didn't pass away, why did you move his favorite orchids out?"

Thinking of the reason for their father's coma as Zhao Xinyu had explained, the three siblings' expressions instantly became strange. Luo Jianguo smiled bitterly. Although his sister hadn't achieved much in her career, she had taken care of their father's daily life. Compared to this sister who looked older than him, the three siblings felt a bit inadequate.

However, in the face of such a serious matter, he didn't hide anything and told Luo Weiguo what Zhao Xinyu had said. Luo Weiguo stood there in a daze, her eyes filled with regret and self-blame.

"Big Sister, we know you're worried. Even the doctors couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, Uncle Du brought a young doctor. Now Father is much better."

"I'll go see him."

In the ward, the old man lay quietly, his breathing steady, and the instruments showed stable vital signs. This made the four siblings sigh with relief.

"Big Brother, where is the young doctor? I want to thank him in person. If he can make Father better, I'm willing to do anything for him."

"Xiao Zhao was exhausted from treating Father with acupuncture. He's resting now."

Luo Jianguo's words made Luo Yan's eyes flash. "Big Brother, it's strange. So many Chinese doctors have given Father acupuncture, but they all seemed very relaxed. Why is Xiao Zhao so exhausted?"

Luo Jianguo smiled bitterly and shook his head. "You saw how exhausted he was. We might need to ask Uncle Du for more details."

In the reception room, Du Gang's face was full of smiles. Bringing Zhao Xinyu to save his old leader made him feel very pleased.

"Uncle Du, how did you meet Zhao Xinyu?"

Du Gang pointed to Du Mengnan. "That young man is Mengmeng's friend. I only met him this morning."

This made the four Luo siblings' expressions instantly strange. To bring someone they had just met to treat their father was quite bold.

Seeing the change in the Luo siblings' expressions, Du Gang laughed. "Let me tell you, don't look at his young age, but this young man..."

When Du Gang recounted everything he knew about Zhao Xinyu, the Luo siblings were filled with surprise. They never imagined that so many miracles could happen to this young man.

To recover from a serious illness through traditional Chinese medicine and to help a child who had been to countless hospitals and left countless doctors at a loss to walk again—such a young man was truly unheard of.

"Mengmeng, is he your boyfriend? Such a young man is hard to find. Don't look at his humble background; with his skills in traditional Chinese medicine, he will surely have a bright future," Luo Weiguo found a topic to discuss.

Du Gang's eyes flashed. He thought of Zhao Xinyu's appearance and didn't believe his background was humble. If his speculation was correct, Zhao Xinyu's background was no less than anyone present.

"Aunt Weiguo, what are you talking about? We're just good friends," the usually lively Du Mengnan now showed a shy side, her face turning red.

Du Gang and Luo Jianguo, as experienced people, immediately understood that Du Mengnan had really fallen for Zhao Xinyu, though the relationship hadn't been openly acknowledged yet.

At lunchtime, Zhao Xinyu didn't wake up. Du Mengnan went to check on him and found him sleeping soundly. Seeing his slightly pale face, Du Mengnan's eyes filled with concern.

He was about her age, skilled in traditional Chinese medicine and cooking, and could grow delicious vegetables. The usually proud Du Mengnan felt a bit humbled. She couldn't imagine how this young man had learned so much, but she knew he must have endured a lot of hardship in his youth.

He slept until nearly evening. After washing up, Zhao Xinyu went to the reception room and heard that Zui Linglong had been delivered. This made him reflect that if this were an ordinary family, they wouldn't have been able to get the medicinal wine at this time.

"Xiao Zhao, you slept well at noon, so we didn't wake you. Are you hungry now? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you," Luo Weiguo said, though it was the first time she had met Zhao Xinyu, her words were full of concern due to her father's condition.

Du Mengnan giggled. "Aunt Weiguo, this guy is a cooking expert. The dishes he makes are even better than those of the chefs in my hotel."

Zhao Xinyu was slightly taken aback and looked at Du Mengnan. She immediately realized she had said too much and stuck out her tongue at him, looking incredibly cute.

"Xiao Zhao is exhausted, I'll make it."

Zhao Xinyu chuckled. "Aunt, I'll do it."

After Zhao Xinyu finished cooking, Luo Jianguo and the others looked at the table full of dishes, their eyes filled with surprise. As Du Mengnan had said, each dish, though made from ordinary ingredients, was beautifully presented and delicious, something that even hotel chefs couldn't match.

After tasting the dishes, they praised them highly. Such a young man, skilled in both cooking and traditional Chinese medicine, was rare in the real world.

"Uncle Jianguo, these are ordinary ingredients. If we use the vegetables he grows, the dishes will be even better, especially his braised carp."

Mentioning the braised carp, Du Gang couldn't help but swallow a few times. "Xiao Zhao, when can you make it again? The taste was really amazing. If you pair it with Zui Linglong, it will be a heavenly dish."

"Tomorrow, I'll send someone to buy some wild carp," Luo Weiguo said with a smile.

"Tomorrow, let's have Zhao Xinyu grill some meat and make braised carp," Du Mengnan said with a smile.

Zhao Xinyu felt a bit helpless. This girl really treated him like one of the family. He hadn't even agreed, and she had already made the decision for him.

"Mengmeng, the heart-eating worms in the old man's body should be completely expelled tomorrow. We won't need much Zui Linglong, so we can share it with everyone."

Hearing this, Luo Jianguo chuckled. "Xiao Zhao, we have the best special supply wine at home. I'll get some for you to take with you when you leave."

"Zui Linglong is much better than that special supply wine," Du Gang immediately said. Du Mengnan had brought back a jar, and he hadn't even dared to drink it. Now that he had free Zui Linglong, he wouldn't let it go.

When Du Mengnan opened the jar, the aroma of the wine filled the air. Luo Jianguo and his siblings were stunned and turned to look at Zhao Xinyu, "This wine...?"

"It was brewed by my grandfather. The taste is quite good. The heart-eating worms are sensitive to the aroma of the wine, so Zui Linglong is more effective in attracting them out."

"I'll try it," Luo Jianguo was the first to raise his glass. After taking a sip, his eyes changed, and he put down the glass, giving Zhao Xinyu a thumbs up. He now understood why Du Gang had said what he did.
