“Since the doctors at the hospital say there’s no cure for your father’s condition, let’s try a different approach and find someone else to treat him. If he recovers, that would be even better. If he doesn’t, then as his children, we will have done our best and have no regrets.”

Ye Qingyun: "If there's even the slightest hope, of course we should treat him. Anran, let's go find that doctor now."

“I have never met that old Chinese medicine doctor. I have only heard my parents mention him. I heard that his family was once the imperial physicians. Their family has been practicing Chinese medicine for more than ten generations. Many people come to him for treatment. Moreover, he is old and does not see just anyone.”

"However, it seems that my dad and he have a good relationship. If my dad intervenes, he should be able to help."

"So...when is your dad free?"

"Dad should be back when I get off work this afternoon. I'll ask him then."

"How about this? I'll go with you to your house now to see your father and find out about his condition. Then, when my father comes back, I'll have him ask that old Chinese medicine doctor."

Ye Qingyun: "Okay, let's eat something first before we go. It's on me."

"Okay! A bowl of noodles will do, I like noodles."

Ye Qingyun called over the waiter and ordered two bowls of noodles.

When the waiter brought over the two bowls of noodles, Anran gave him the money she had prepared beforehand.

"You promised I'd treat you to this."

"Let me treat you this first time! You can treat me next time."

After the two finished their meal, they went outside.

Where do you live?

"I'll be staying in the dormitory building at Peking University."

"Are your parents professors at Peking University?"

"Yes! But my dad is sick now, so my mom has to take time off work to be with him."

Kyoto University is less than 500 meters away.

An Ran pushed her bicycle and walked with Ye Qingyun towards the school.

"My younger sister was admitted to this school this year and just started school recently."

"That's really impressive! She was able to get into this school the first time the college entrance examination was reinstated. You can imagine how good her foundation is."

"Aren't you pretty good too? You were able to study university courses on your own even in such difficult circumstances."

"If you don't study, how can you keep going? People always need to have some aspirations."

"Now that things are finally getting better together, my dad is..."

"It's okay, maybe it really can be cured!"

"I hope so!"

The two entered Peking University and arrived at the faculty dormitory building.

“My father is in poor health, so he was allocated a house on the first floor for easy access.”

Climbing stairs is quite time-consuming and physically demanding.

An Ran parked her bicycle in the hallway and followed Ye Qingyun into the house.

This is a two-bedroom apartment. Ye Qingyun's father is thin and weak, lying on the sofa. Her mother also looks haggard, and she is wiping her husband's face and hands.

"Mom and Dad, this is my colleague, her name is Anran."

"Hello, Auntie and Uncle!"

Ye Qingyun's mother quickly got up.

"Qingyun's colleague! Please sit down, sit here."

Professor Ye said, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well and can't sit for long periods of time; I can only lie down."

"Uncle, I know. Don't move. Just lie down and rest."

“Mom and Dad, Anran said that her father knows a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor. We would like to ask that doctor to take a look at you.”

“I know my body is failing. My right kidney is already necrotic, and my left kidney is also affected. When a person’s kidneys are necrotic, what can be done to save them? They can only wait to die.”

"Dad, I heard that the old Chinese medicine doctor is very skilled and has cured many people who hospitals said they could not be cured."

Ye Qingyun's mother also said, "Yes! We can't give up as long as there's even a sliver of hope! Let's go see a doctor! What if it really can cure him!"

"I'm afraid that the greater your hopes, the greater your disappointment, and all your efforts will be in vain."

Ye Qingyun went and found all of her father's medical records and diagnoses from the hospital.

An Ran looked at it carefully.

The situation is pretty much as they described.

The right kidney is necrotic, and the function of the left kidney is also severely impaired.

Anran said, "Uncle, Aunt, how about this? I'll have my dad call that old Chinese medicine doctor first to see if your condition can be cured. If he says there's even a one percent chance, we should give it a try."

"Alright! That's the only way."

An Ran stood up and said, "That's settled then! I'll go back and ask my dad first. Goodbye, Uncle and Aunt!"

Ye Qingyun stood up to see An Ran off.

Arrived outside the door.

An Ran: "I'll let you know as soon as I get in touch with the old Chinese medicine doctor."

"Thank you, Anran!"

"Thank me after your father is cured!"

"Can my father's illness be cured?"

"You must believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine. A truly good TCM doctor has amazing power."

Ye Qingyun nodded.

"I hope my dad can encounter such magical power."

Anran pushed her bicycle around the campus.

An Xin and Luo Xingguo suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Bro, tell me honestly, are you dating someone? What department is that girl in?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not in a relationship!"

"I saw it all. You were with a girl just now."

“That’s my colleague. Her family lives here. Her parents are teachers at this school.”

"It's better to have a colleague, as we can be together every day. This avoids the situation where, with the nature of your jobs, you would have to live apart for a long time if you found someone from another company."

"You two are together every day, does that mean I can attend your wedding after graduation?"

"Brother, we're talking about your business! Don't change the subject."

"You care about me so much! You should focus on your studies! I'm leaving, I have things to do!"

Anran said this, then got on her bicycle and rode away.

On the way, An Ran, having calmed down, felt somewhat uneasy.

He acted too impulsively just now, agreeing to Ye Qingyun's request without even understanding the old Chinese medicine doctor's situation.

He had often heard his parents mention the old Chinese medicine doctor they called Master Hong, saying how miraculous he was and how skilled he was. But after all these years, he didn't even know if Master Hong was still alive.

However, most experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors who are skilled in medicine know how to maintain their health, so they should be in good health!

Anran returned home, and Su Jinru couldn't wait to ask, "Anran, how did it go? What happened between you and that girl..."

"Mom, I heard you and Dad mention before that there's an old Chinese medicine doctor in Beijing named Old Hong. You said he's very skilled?"

Su Jinru suddenly realized.

"Ah! Right, right, how could I forget? Yes! Old Hong's medical skills are quite high. Ye Qingyun's father could go and ask Old Hong to take a look!"

"Does Old Hong still treat patients?"

"Look! But ordinary people can't get him to come. Even if they are acquaintances, they have to wait in line for many days. He only sees ten patients a day."
