"It's a pity that he helped others, but in the end he had to recover here alone."

Zhu Can withdrew his hand and handed the money to Dada. How could he not understand what Doctor Xi meant?

He noticed that Zhu Can was busy taking out money, and he wanted to take the money as a thank you and take Dada away.

Zhu Can said to Dada, "Hire a nurse. I will cover all the medical expenses and nutrition costs for this hero."

Dada shook his hand: "Master, no need, I have money, I will take care of him."

The female doctor smiled and said, "Xiao Xi, someone is taking care of him. You don't have to worry. Your friend has suffered a lot. When he recovers, let him go to the temple to pray."

Zhu Can looked at the person lying on the bed, then looked at Xi Zhenghe, and realized that the two knew each other, which was why Xi Zhenghe took the initiative to speak for the person lying on the bed.

Xi Zhenghe looked down at his friend lying upright on the hospital bed and whispered, "Even the Buddha can't protect this nosy person."

When Zhu Can heard this, he felt that he was being pointed at again.

Zhu Can had originally wanted to make friends with the doctor who had helped him. He had few friends since he was a child, and when he heard this, he felt a little ashamed of himself for trying to distance himself from the relationship.

But his long-standing habit kept reminding him that it was hard to say that a stranger had no other intentions when making such a sacrifice for a young woman like Dada.

But this person is also a friend of Dr. Xi who "minds his own business", so it doesn't seem that he necessarily has bad intentions.

The doctors had to go to other places for rounds, and Dada was reluctant to leave. Zhu Can stayed by the bed for a while, and was asked by Dada to go out and send back the children who were still gathered outside.

Especially Nabu, with dust and blood on his head, looking like a miserable cat. Zhu Can always disliked dirt, but when he saw Nabu's brown eyes like Dada's at the door, he took out some money from his pocket and urged the children to go back.

Xi Zhenghe, who came out of the ward nearby, saw this scene - the conceited young master took out a few bills from his bulging wallet, pinched them with two fingers and stuffed them into the arms of the foreign child.

Xi Zhenghe stood there for a while. Zhu Can finally managed to send the children away. He turned his head and met Dr. Xi's eyes. His pupils dilated slightly. Before he could say anything, the female doctor leaned over and urged Xi Zhenghe to leave.

After the two doctors left, Zhu Can took a deep breath and left the hospital.

Early on the fourth day, Dada came back with a sea bass.

There were bloodshot eyes in the girl, and it was obvious that she had not had a good rest in the past few days. When her benefactor was discharged from the hospital, he repeatedly declined her care. Fortunately, the money left by the young master was enough for her benefactor to have enough food and drink and rest for a while. Only then did Dada reluctantly return to the Zhu Mansion.

Facing the sullen Zhu Can, Dada simply smiled sheepishly: "Master, let's have sea bass for lunch."

Zhu Can sighed, handed the sea bass to the housekeeper, and sent Dada to the room to rest.

In the next day we will go to Wang Cheng's villa to hold that so-called charity salon. They say that the war on the front line is tense, and all businesses have responded to the government's call to raise funds and set a good example of patriotism and love for the people.

At first, Mrs. Zhu complained that the money she spent on "filial piety" every year was wasted. Later, when she heard who would be attending the salon, she started to get excited again.

Zhu Can was urged by Mrs. Zhu to go to the jewelry store to pick up the pair of earrings she had ordered. Mrs. Zhu reminded Zhu Can two or three times to carefully check whether the gems were cut deep enough, so that the sparkle would not be dim and affect her mood for the meeting tomorrow.

The journey was smooth, but there was still some traffic on the way back. Zhu Can held the earrings up to the light, and the colorful flashes made him squint slightly. Behind the flashes, across the street, a beautifully decorated shop caught his attention.

Under the parasol, Xi Zhenghe was sitting and drinking coffee with the friend with thick eyebrows and big eyes who saved Dada.

"Pause."

Zhu Can stopped the driver and said, "Take this back to Mrs. Zhu."

After saying that, Zhu Can got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the small shop opposite.

As I got closer, I saw that the friend with thick eyebrows, big eyes and pale lips seemed to be begging something in a low voice. Doctor Xi still had that deep-featured face, but his brows were furrowed and he didn't respond.

Zhu Can stopped and hesitated for a moment before speaking first: "My savior."

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes turned around. Seeing the man in white trousers and a light-colored vest, the corners of his lips trembled and he asked, "Are you... Young Master Zhu?"

Zhu Can smiled slightly, his mouth corners raised when he smiled, revealing one of his fangs, making anyone who saw him feel close to him: "I owed you a favor before and saved Dada. It's great that we meet today."

Only then did Xi Zhenghe turn around, his brows still furrowed.

Zhu Can pretended to be surprised: "Doctor Xi is here too."

The young master stepped onto the wooden floor and went under the parasol. The autumn wind was a little cold, but the sun was still shining brightly.

"this……"

Zhu Can still doesn't know the name of this lifesaver.

"My surname is Yi, and my given name is Shan."

Zhu Can immediately extended his hand: "Brother Yi Shan, thank you for standing up for me that day!"

Yi Shan smiled and waved his hand, his injured shoulder still unable to exert much strength: "The villain is in power, and the civilians are innocent. In that situation, everyone would help."

Zhu Can saw that Yi Shan's clothes were a little worn, but his demeanor was very good, like a scholar. However, he looked a little pale as he had been ill for a few days.

"Hey, Brother Yi, don't shirk your responsibility. Not everyone has a chivalrous heart like yours."

After a few words, Zhu Can called his elder brother. He learned from Yi Shan that Xi Zhenghe was an old friend of his from the same university. Xi Zhenghe studied medicine and went to Germany as a country-sent student to study abroad. He only came back this year, while Yi Shan stayed in the local area and became a teacher at a women's normal college.

When he went to Chunhe Hotel that day, Xi Zhenghe was waiting for this old friend whom he had not seen for many years.

The two of them were chatting in a good atmosphere, but Xi Zhenghe just watched from the side without saying a word from beginning to end.

Zhu Can looked at the two of them and invited them, "Tomorrow there will be a charity salon fundraising event to provide food and supplies to express gratitude to the soldiers. I wonder if you two have time..."

Yi Shan smiled and shook his head, his movements slow and somewhat reluctant. "Protecting our country is our duty. I'm not feeling well, so I won't join in the fun. How about..."

Yi Shan tapped the table, and Xi Zhenghe looked up at his friend: "Zhenghe and Young Master Zhu will go together. Although I don't have much assets, I am willing to contribute to the great cause. Please ask Zhenghe to donate on my behalf."

Zhu Can's eyes lit up and he stared at Doctor Xi, whose brows were still furrowed.

Xi Zhenghe leaned back and finally said "hmm" and agreed.
