Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Li Dongfang didn't pay much attention to what she said. He looked at her shy and cute appearance, pinched her chin, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Lou Xiao'e was shocked by the sudden attack, her eyes widened, but her strength quickly disappeared...

After a while, the two separated their lips. Lou Xiao'e, who was completely exhausted, could only lie in Li Dongfang's arms to avoid falling to the ground.

Lou Xiao'e buried her head in Li Dongfang's arms, even her ears turned red, and she didn't dare to look up.

If Li Dongfang wanted to do something to her now, Lou Xiao'e would probably not resist. But after all, Lou Xiao'e was still a grown-up girl, and Li Dongfang didn't want to be so hasty for the first time. They had to give each other a good memory.

"How about we buy a big bed and some bedding first, and then come over and stay for a couple of days occasionally?" Li Dongfang whispered in Lou Xiaoe's ear.

"Hate it, I don't want it." Lou Xiao'e punched Li Dongfang's chest twice without even raising her head.

Although she said no, Lou Xiao'e kept these words in mind. Anyway, she had known for a long time that Li Dongfang was not planning to get married, so there was no need to worry about getting married with him a day earlier or later. Besides, her father had acquiesced... By the way, who was the family that wanted to sell the big Huanghuali bed last time? The price seemed a bit high, 100 taels of gold. Never mind, she would go home and pester her dad for money to buy it. It seemed like she couldn't wait any longer.

The two of them came out of the yard and strolled to the front door without realizing it. Li Dongfang's stomach growled. Lou Xiaoe looked up at him and said with a smile, "It's already past lunch time. Let's find a place to eat."

Li Dongfang touched his stomach and said, "Then just eat something. There's nothing good to eat outside right now."

After looking around, he suddenly saw the sign of a tavern, which was the one he and Duan Jingya had first met, so he said, "Let's go to this tavern. I came here once last time and the braised food was pretty good."

Lou Xiao'e naturally had no objection, so the two of them went in and found a seat to sit down. Unexpectedly, the pub's business was quite good these days, with more than half of the seats still occupied after meal time.

"Boss... Madam, please give me some side dishes, two taels of wine, and two steamed buns." Li Dongfang glanced at the counter, where there was a mature woman... a familiar female figure.

After serving the food and wine, the proprietress smiled and prepared to go back, but when she turned around, she staggered and almost fell, holding her chest. Li Dongfang quickly reached out and helped her up and said, "Are you okay?"

The proprietress swayed the table, forced a smile and said, "Thank you, I'm fine. Maybe I didn't get enough rest recently. Enjoy your meal, sir." Then she wanted to stagger back to the counter.

Lou Xiao'e also quickly reached out her hand to help the proprietress sit down and said, "You are obviously sick, don't show off, sit down and rest for a while.

By the way, Dongfang, aren’t you a doctor? Please help me take a look.”

Li Dongfang also carefully looked at the boss lady's face, frowned slightly and said: "Boss lady, this condition has probably been going on for a while, and it's getting worse. Have you been feeling dizzy these past two days?"

The proprietress looked up at Li Dongfang in surprise. Before she could say anything, she heard someone at the next table say, "Hey, this little brother is amazing. Huizhen has been like this for the past few days. Yesterday I saw her squatting on the ground for half a day without getting up."

Upon hearing this, Li Dongfang turned his head and saw a wealthy old man holding a wine glass in one hand and an antique purple clay teapot in the other. He was dressed very neatly in a buttoned jacket, and had a strong Beijing style. It was obvious that he was from Beijing.

The proprietress had obviously recovered a little, and she forced a smile and said, "Mr. Niu is very thoughtful. I'm fine. I just need to go back and have a good sleep."

"Huizhen, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you should stop worrying about those small things. Go to the hospital if you need to. Minor illnesses left untreated can turn into major ones. The sooner you treat them, the better." The old man, known as Grandpa Niu, shook his head.

Li Dongfang also advised: "Boss lady, if you don't mind, I can help you. I am also a doctor."

Lou Xiao'e also said, "Yes, Dongfang is a specially-appointed expert of PUMC, and his medical skills are amazing."

However, the ostentatious tone of these words coming from Lou Xiao'e made Li Dongfang laugh and shake his head:

"Xiao'e, how can you brag about yourself like that?"

"No, I'm just telling the truth. Didn't Dean Zhang of Union Medical College chase you to offer you a job last time?"

Lou Xiao'e pouted and said unhappily.

"It seems that the young man is a medical expert of Union Medical College. I'm sorry to bother you to take a look at Huizhen. It's not easy for the girl to take care of the children and run the store alone." Upon hearing this, Uncle Niu bowed to Li Dongfang.

Li Dongfang quickly bowed and returned the greeting, "Master Niu, you are too polite. I don't dare to call myself a master, but I just know a little bit about medical skills."

After saying that, Li Dongfang looked at the boss lady and said, "Boss lady, what Master Niu said makes sense. No matter what disease is, it is best to delay treatment. If you are sick, you still have to treat it early. Otherwise, I will take your pulse?"

"Well...thank you then." Others had shown their kindness again and again, and Xu Huizhen wasn't the kind of person who was so pretentious, so she just thanked them and put her hand on the table.

Li Dongfang felt the patient's pulse, then withdrew his hand and said, "No major problems, but there are many minor ones."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "It's OK as long as it's not a serious illness. It's okay if it's a minor illness. It will heal on its own after a while."

Li Dongfang glanced at the people around him and saw that they all looked relieved. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Listen to me. You have delayed this minor illness for too long. Now serious symptoms have begun to appear, but you still don't take it seriously! Some minor illnesses can indeed heal on their own, but some cannot. Don't take it lightly. Besides, you are still breastfeeding, so it is really difficult to deal with it."

"Hey, Dongfang, don't keep me in suspense. I know that with your medical skills, you can definitely solve it, right?" Lou Xiao'e pulled Li Dongfang's arm and shook it.

"It can be solved, but it won't be done overnight." Li Dongfang felt dizzy from Lou Xiao'e's shaking, mainly because his eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of that thing's beating.

"Okay, stop shaking. Let's eat something first. I'll talk to the boss lady later." Li Dongfang still has medical ethics. Some of the patient's conditions still need to be avoided.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Thank you both, the guests can eat first."

Watching Xu Huizhen's back as she left, Li Dongfang didn't know whether to praise her for being free and easy, or to scold her for not knowing the seriousness of the matter.

"Young man, you should pay more attention to Huizhen's matter. This girl is a good person, but she has a miserable life, alas!" After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass, took his purple clay teapot, nodded to Li Dongfang, and walked out.

As he walked, he called out, "Huizhen, put the bill down."
