Chapter 29

For Wu Qingsheng, he had always hoped that Wu Potian would one day take over the family clinic and continue the legacy of their medical lineage, generation after generation. However, due to Wu Potian's illness, his hope was completely shattered, and he shifted his hopes to his daughter. But the news Wu Potian brought was like a sudden burst of oil into his heart, reigniting the flame of hope that had been extinguished for three whole years.

At this moment, the excited Wu Qingsheng rubbed his hands vigorously and instructed the equally excited Chen Yuemei, who was standing beside him, "Yuemei! What are you standing there for? Quickly go to the market and buy some good things. Tonight, my son and I will have a good drink."

Not only was Wu Qingsheng excited, but Chen Yuemei was also extremely excited. She took out her wallet from the drawer under the counter and said to Wu Potian, "Xiao Tian! Mom will go to the market to buy some dishes. I'll cook something nice for you tonight. The counter is in your hands."

After his mother left the clinic, Wu Potian started helping patients at the counter. Although the prescriptions his father had written were not always the most ideal treatments, he chose to keep a low profile to avoid shocking his father too much.

"Ah! Brother! Is it really you? You finally came back, that's great! That's great!" Just as Wu Potian was busy at the counter, a familiar shrill voice suddenly came from behind him, followed by a wave of fragrance, and a soft body instantly threw itself into his arms.

Feeling the long-lost family warmth, Wu Potian put down the balance in his hand and reached out to hug his sister, smiling and saying, "Xiao Juan! I've missed you so much!"

Wu Lijuan pouted her cherry-red lips, hugging Wu Potian's arm affectionately, and replied with a feigned pout, "Brother! You're always lying. If you missed me, why didn't you come back for three years? And you never called me. Do you know how much the whole family looked forward to your return during holidays?"

Hearing his sister's complaints and thinking about how his mother had reacted to his return, Wu Potian felt a deep sense of guilt towards his family. At this moment, he silently vowed to himself that he would never let his parents and sister down again.

Thinking about his parents who had always supported and cared for him, and his sister who had always followed him, Wu Potian promised Wu Lijuan, "Xiao Juan! I'm sorry! I know I've been a bit over the top, but I promise from today on, I will stay at home and never go back to Yanjing."

"Brother! Are you really serious? You're not leaving this time! Ah! That's great! I can be with you every day from now on." Wu Lijuan was undoubtedly overjoyed when she heard Wu Potian's words, and she immediately started jumping with joy.

"Xiao Juan! Your mom went to the market to buy some vegetables. Your brother has come back from far away, so go help at the counter and let your brother rest inside." Thinking about his son finally taking over the family business, Wu Qingsheng was in an especially good mood, feeling much lighter. He instructed the excited Wu Lijuan with a kind face.

Wu Lijuan obediently responded, put her schoolbag aside, and said to Wu Potian, "Brother! You go rest inside first, I'll take care of things here."

As night fell, Wu Qingsheng and his wife were extremely happy about Wu Potian's return. The clinic closed early that evening, and Chen Yuemei prepared a table full of dishes that Wu Potian liked to celebrate his return.

Thinking about his long-held wish now having a chance to come true, Wu Qingsheng was in a very good mood and drank a few more cups, quickly getting drunk.

After dinner, Wu Potian spent over an hour with his mother and sister in the living room before returning to his room. When Wu Potian walked into his room and saw the familiar furnishings, he couldn't help but sigh, "It feels so good to be home!"

After taking a shower and lying on the bed, looking at the familiar ceiling, Wu Potian thought about how his parents had argued over his job, and about the hardships he had faced in Yanjing over the past few years. He felt deeply moved and silently vowed to himself that he would never let his parents down.

"Qinglong! I have learned the first level of the body-strengthening technique and have mastered the basic medical skills. When can I start practicing the intermediate level?"

"Master! I have already told you before, mastering the basic medical skills is not enough to advance. You need to meet all the requirements in various aspects to automatically advance. If you need my advice, I suggest you use the medical skills you have mastered to treat more patients and intensify your body-strengthening practice."

Wu Potian felt extremely helpless upon receiving Qinglong's message. Practicing the body-strengthening technique was manageable, but treating more patients was undoubtedly the most challenging thing for him, especially since he did not have a medical license. Even if he wanted to treat patients, he had no opportunity to do so.

"Master! Why don't you tell your parents about the medical knowledge you have mastered? Why do you choose to keep part of the truth hidden?"

"Qinglong! Although you are an intelligent computer, you can never understand human psychology. To explain why I know medical skills, I have already lied to my parents. One lie requires a thousand more to cover it up. Now, learning medicine is already a big deal for my parents. If I tell my father that I have learned many advanced medical techniques, how can I explain it to him?"

"Master! Why don't you tell your parents about my existence? After all, they are your family. There's no problem telling them, and you won't have to worry about how to explain it."

Wu Potian became even more depressed upon receiving Qinglong's message and replied, "Qinglong! If I could tell my parents, I would have done so long ago. Your appearance in my body is too bizarre. If I tell them, it won't make my parents happy; instead, it will make them worry about your presence in my brain."

"Master! Your human thoughts are too difficult to understand. My previous master was like this, and you are the same. Sigh! I don't know how to explain it to you!"

The more Wu Potian thought about it, the more conflicted he felt. The good mood he had from reuniting with his family was ruined by this issue. He complained, "In the past, I always complained about being too stupid when I wanted to learn medical skills. Now that I have learned them, I have to use lies to cover it up. Ah! I won't think about this anymore. Let's start practicing!"

The dawn, like a tender red infant, trembled three times in the thick wine, and the dewdrops rolled down the dreams of dandelions and clovers, splashing transparent sunlight amidst the golden clamor, hatching a dawn no longer damp.

Returning from the learning space to reality, Wu Potian woke up from his sleep, changed into his morning exercise clothes, and greeted his mother, who was preparing breakfast. He then ran along the small path behind the house towards the nearby hill.

After more than half an hour, Wu Potian finally climbed to the top of the hill. Standing there, he watched the sun rise slowly from the horizon, its brilliant light bringing a warm breeze. Wu Potian breathed in the fresh air with a hint of earth, stretched his body, and looked down at the small city bathed in sunlight, shouting aloud, "Hancheng! I'm finally back!"
