Rebooting 60, let's go on a rampage with the orange cat!

Shi Huai'an wrote to his parents, asking if they would like to come and live in the capital. If they wanted to come, they could arrange their work before the Spring Festival and then come to the capital with Huai'an after the Spring Festival; of course, they could come immediately, but they had to arrange their work first.

The country called on educated youth who were not only children to go to the countryside. There was a shortage of jobs in the city. Parents could sell their jobs and retire early. They could keep the house, because there would be a shortage of houses when the educated youth returned to the city. Keeping the house would also provide a place to stay if they had to go back in the future. Li Huaiyuan could also stay in the house to look after it. There was no need to move his belongings. Everything was available in the capital.

I'm an only child, so I don't have to go to the countryside. I'll be studying in Beijing for another eight years, so if my parents are willing to come, I'll come sooner to adapt...

A few days later, the sun shone brightly on the campus. Shi Huai'an, who was chatting with Lin Xiao in the classroom, was suddenly patted on the back, interrupting his thoughts: "Hi, Huai'an~" It turned out that Han Mingxuan and his sister Han Mingjun had come looking for him.

Han Mingjun studied Western medicine, so the two rarely met; Han Mingxuan had been at the hospital these past few days, while Huai'an had been busy cleaning the yard and hadn't been on duty at the hospital.

Han Mingjun complained angrily, "Hmph! I went to look for you yesterday afternoon, but this kid led me around that alley several times and we still couldn't find your yard. I was exhausted!" As he spoke, he poked Han Mingxuan hard with his finger.

Han Mingxuan looked somewhat innocent, scratching his head and saying, "It's not entirely my fault. I was just following the route I remembered."

Han Mingjun glared at him and continued to complain to Shi Huai'an: "What kind of brain does he have? He's like a directionally challenged person who can't remember the way. He wasted my precious afternoon for no reason."

Upon hearing this, Shi Huai'an felt a little uneasy, but on the surface, he still pretended to be calm and replied, "Uh... perhaps you accidentally got lost?"

Upon hearing this, Han Mingxuan looked puzzled, rested his chin on his hand, shook his head, and said, "Impossible! I've always had a good sense of direction. My grandfather took me there before, and I used to walk that alley all the time when I was a child. How could I possibly get lost? It's too strange."

At this moment, Han Mingjun ignored her brother's explanation and instead hugged Shi Huai'an's arm in a coquettish manner, pleading, "Honey, no matter what, you have to take me to see your new house after class, okay?"

Shi Huai'an secretly rejoiced. It seemed that the 'illusionary protective barrier' set up by Duo Duo had played a very good role in protecting the courtyard; otherwise, they would have found it long ago. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright then."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "What? You're renting a place outside? Oh my, I definitely have to go and see! So, are you happy to see me?" As she spoke, she looked at Huai'an expectantly.

Huai'an smiled and nodded, replying softly, "Yes, I did rent two rooms for my parents. I'll take you there around noon. We don't have any classes this afternoon, so we can make dumplings together."

After saying that, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the Han siblings, secretly plotting to find an opportunity to quietly ask Duo Duo to remove the illusionary restrictions on them. That way, they would be able to easily find their home in the future.

Just then, Han Mingxuan subtly reached out and gently squeezed the back of his younger sister Mingjun's clothes. Mingjun understood immediately, instantly realizing that her grandfather had repeatedly instructed her to keep the matter of buying a house in Huai'an a secret.

So she quickly stuck out her tongue, pretended to be nonchalant, and said with a grin, "Yes, yes, it's rented~ But I have to tell you in advance, the dumplings I make are really ugly. I can't help it, my hands that hold scalpels aren't really suited for such rough work as making dumplings."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. Seeing this, Han Mingxuan playfully tapped Mingjun's head lightly with his finger.

This time, Mingjun wouldn't stand for it. She covered her head with both hands and shouted, "Hey, brother, what are you doing? Don't hit my head anymore!"

The room was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, creating a lively atmosphere.

Bai Mengqi watched their playful antics from the back rows with envy, feeling quite resentful. She remembered how Han Mingjun and his sister used to only play with her; when did this country bumpkin from a small town get a turn?

Several people from Huai'an walked out of the hospital together.

Bai Mengqi followed them from a distance, but after turning several corners in an alley, she couldn't find them anywhere.

She seemed to faintly hear laughter coming from inside the walls, but all she could see were walls and more walls; she couldn't find the gate. Standing outside, she gritted her teeth and thought to herself: What's so great about them? I'll make them cry when the time comes...

Several stray cats on the wall peered out, as if on sentry duty, watching her every move until Bai Mengqi disappeared from sight.

Lin Xiao and Han Mingjun toured the courtyard house and were full of praise. Huai An only prepared a bedroom, study, and kitchen to live in, and didn't bother with the rest for the time being.

Duo Duo and several cats ran around in the yard. Lin Xiao and Ming Jun saw the large green wall in the yard and couldn't help but sit on the swing and sigh that Huai An was so lucky.

Lin Xiao asked curiously, "How much is the rent for such a big and nice courtyard house?"

Everyone looked at Huai'an, who said without batting an eye, "The original owner knows my relatives. They went to another province and can't come back for a while. They didn't feel comfortable renting it to others, so they let my parents live here. It's like I'm helping them look after the house."

Lin Xiao nodded: "No wonder."

Han Mingjun secretly gave Huai'an a thumbs up. Huai'an smiled and went to the kitchen to chop the dumpling filling. The others quickly followed to help.

After experimenting with the dolls in the studio, Shi Huai'an developed a treatment plan for Gu Xihua's legs. When he showed it to Professor Han, Professor Han was full of praise, saying that the younger generation is truly surpassing the older generation.

When Gu Xihua's family came again, Huai'an told them about the treatment plan that had been prepared—acupuncture plus medicinal baths and traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and the treatment would be entirely led by Shi Huai'an.

The treatment period is six months, and the recovery period is about a year. It is essential to strictly follow the doctor's instructions, which requires the patient's absolute trust and strong willpower to cooperate with the treatment.

Shi Huai'an said, "You can consider this. Firstly, the cost is not low, and secondly, would you be willing to let me take charge of the treatment?"

Before Li Yinggang could say anything, Gu Xihua raised her hand and said, "Okay, I will definitely cooperate. As long as my leg can be cured, the cost is not a problem."

His facial paralysis had been cured after several acupuncture treatments by Shi Huai'an, which gave him confidence in Shi Huai'an's medical skills. Moreover, since many hospitals had declared his leg incurable, he figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try here. He longed to be able to stand up again. Even if it was only for one year, two or three years, as long as he could walk again, it would be worth it.

Li Ying had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Since it's a treatment plan that Professor Han has agreed to, we are naturally willing to accept it."

Gu Jingnian stepped forward and said, "Our whole family will cooperate fully."

Shi Huai'an said, "Then let's start with the first acupuncture treatment. You can take the medicine home and soak in it as I told you. Then I will teach you some leg massage techniques. After you take the medicine bath at home, massage him. You must be persistent and not just do it perfunctorily."

The Gu family hurriedly agreed and cooperated with the nurse to push Gu Xihua into the treatment room...

The weekend night was as dark as ink, hazy and mysterious, like a light veil shrouding the entire campus.

As soon as Huai'an stepped out of the school gate, he saw a figure standing quietly under the tree; it was Zhong Hanzhe.

He smiled and waved enthusiastically at Huai'an.

However, Huai'an acted as if she hadn't heard or seen anything, walking straight ahead without turning her head, completely ignoring him as if he were air.

"Shi Huai'an, wait!" Upon seeing this, Zhong Hanzhe quickly quickened his pace to catch up, calling out as he panted heavily.

Hearing the shouts, Huai'an stopped in his tracks, but his tone remained icy, "What do you want?"

Zhong Hanzhe's smile didn't diminish at all because of Huai An's cold attitude; on the contrary, it became even more natural. "I've been waiting for you here. It's so late. Where are you going? It's not safe for a girl like you to go alone. Let me go with you."

Shi Huai'an frowned slightly, a hint of disgust in his eyes, and said coldly, "No need, just stay away from me."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head. Zhong Hanzhe was stunned for a moment, and the smile that had been on his face froze, replaced by a hurt expression. "You...do you really hate me that much?"

Faced with Zhong Hanzhe's questioning, Shi Huai'an did not hesitate at all. He glared at him fiercely and answered decisively, "That's right, I really hate you. Please stay away from me in the future!" After saying that, he turned around and left quickly again.

Zhong Hanzhe felt a tightness in his chest and his breathing became rapid. He simply couldn't understand why Shi Huai'an disliked him so much, given that he was so popular, the school's heartthrob, and had excellent grades.

However, at this moment, Shi Huai'an, despite her deep hatred for him, did not want to waste too much time on him and only wanted to end this entangled relationship as soon as possible.

"Huai'an, even if you hate me, you should at least give me a reasonable explanation." Zhong Hanzhe's deep and magnetic voice slowly rang out, and his deep and charming eyes never left Shi Huai'an for a moment.

It has to be said that Wallace Chung is indeed very handsome. If it weren't for that, perhaps Shi Huai'an wouldn't have been so smitten with him in her past life.

Just then, a clear and melodious voice suddenly came from not far away: "Han Zhe, so you're here!" Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiaoxuan ran up to them and took Zhong Han Zhe's arm, saying coquettishly, "What are you doing here? Did you come here specifically to find me? Let me tell you, my home is nearby."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Hanzhe's body stiffened abruptly. After a brief hesitation, he forcefully pried open Jiang Xiaoxuan's hands, which were tightly wrapped around his arm, and replied firmly, "I didn't come to see you. I have something very important to deal with right now."

"Why don't you introduce her? Is she your sister?" Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at Shi Huai'an with a smile but also with a wary look in her eyes.

Shi Huai'an couldn't help but smile: "Shi Huai'an, Zhong Hanzhe's high school classmate."

Jiang Xiaoxuan's expression changed slightly, and she said to Zhong Hanzhe with a sour tone, "You two are old classmates? Where are you going? I'll go with you."

Zhong Hanzhe frowned and naturally refused, saying, "You can go now, I have something to do with her."

Jiang Xiaoxuan raised her voice slightly: "Zhong Hanzhe, what do you mean? Since we've already run into each other, let's hang out together." Then she arrogantly asked, "Shi Huai'an, aren't you welcoming me?"

Shi Huai'an said coldly, "You guys go have fun, I don't have time to keep you company." With that, he turned and left.

Zhong Hanzhe said to Jiang Xiaoxuan with extreme impatience, "Huai'an and I have private matters to attend to. Don't you understand what I'm saying?" After saying that, he chased after her.

Jiang Xiaoxuan, who was used to being spoiled, stomped her foot in anger and glared at their backs, looking resentful.

“Huai’an, she’s really just an ordinary classmate of mine! And she’s the daughter of our department head, but there’s really nothing special between us!” Zhong Hanzhe hurriedly caught up and grabbed Huai’an’s slender wrist tightly.

Shi Huai'an was startled by his sudden action, abruptly pulled her hand away, and angrily retorted, "Why are you saying all this to me out of the blue? Stop pulling and tugging at me like this, what kind of behavior is this!"

Zhong Hanzhe took a deep breath, trying to calm his somewhat agitated emotions, and said in an unusually serious tone, "Huai'an, I have always liked you, so I absolutely cannot tolerate you misunderstanding me in the slightest."

However, when Shi Huai'an heard this confession, she felt a wave of nausea and vomiting. She had heard Zhong Hanzhe say these words countless times, and she was utterly fed up with them.

"First of all, I'm only fifteen years old this year, still a minor! Secondly, I have absolutely no liking for you. Every time I see your face, I feel disgusted and want to vomit!" she coldly replied without any mercy.

Upon hearing Shi Huai'an's resolute words, Zhong Hanzhe's previously normal face instantly turned ashen.

He clenched his fists tightly, seemingly trying his best to control the surging emotions within him.

After a long while, he slowly spoke in an almost pleading tone, "Huai'an, please tell me what I did wrong to make you angry? Whatever the problem is, I will correct it immediately. Please give me another chance..."

Shi Huai'an glared at the persistent man in front of her with disgust. He was just like that in her past life, begging for her forgiveness after committing domestic violence. She felt disgusted.

She said, word by word, "Because you are so ugly that I feel like vomiting if I look at you for even one more time."
