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

Shi Huai'an looked up and saw it was Gu Jingnian. Connecting their names, she suddenly understood, thinking, "Why is he everywhere?"

Gu Jingnian, wearing a blue raincoat and rain boots, suddenly braked and stopped beside them.

He pulled off his rain hat and rattled off like a machine gun: "I've been looking for you. Gu Jingxing, my mom said you called to say you were leaving early this morning, why aren't you home for dinner yet? She asked me to look for you. Turns out you're here shopping with Dr. Shi! I didn't expect you two to know each other, what a coincidence. Dr. Shi, come to my house for dinner."

Upon hearing Gu Jingxing's invitation, Shi Huai'an quickly waved his hand, about to refuse, "We've already eaten..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Gu Jingxing interrupted her with a smile: "Alright, then please do me the honor of coming along, 'Dr. Shi'? It's a good opportunity for everyone to get together, and I can introduce myself. I also have something to discuss with you."

Faced with his enthusiastic and unyielding words, Shi Huai'an felt very conflicted, but considering that he would be leaving the next morning and she didn't know when she would see him again, she finally nodded.

Seeing that Huai'an nodded in agreement, Gu Jingxing introduced his cousin standing to the side to Shi Huai'an: "Come, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, named Gu Jingnian."

Shi Huai'an smiled and nodded at Gu Jingnian, politely replying, "I really didn't expect that you and he are cousins. When I learned your name last time, I thought it was such a coincidence that your names differed by only one character. I was wondering if there was some special connection between you, and it turns out it really is!"

"What a coincidence! It seems you have a special connection with the Gu family!" Gu Jingnian said with a grin.

Gu Jingxing listened with a smug look on his face, and the group chatted as they walked toward Gu Jingnian's house.

As they walked, Gu Jingxing naturally reached out and took the backpack from Shi Huai'an's shoulder, then carried it himself.

Then, he tilted his head slightly, looking at Shi Huai'an with a curious and puzzled expression, and asked, "Hey, I'm a little curious, how come you started seeing patients at the hospital so soon? I remember you only just started university not long ago?"

Huai'an smiled and explained to him, "Professor Han and Master Liu are from the same school, they are like brothers! Moreover, Professor Han has always taken special care of me and specially arranged for me to do my internship with him. That way I have seen more and more cases, and my medical skills have naturally improved by leaps and bounds."

Gu Jingnian asked with a strange smile, "Then why did Professor Han say there was nothing that could be done about my dad's leg, but you said it could be cured? Are you more knowledgeable than your teacher?"

Huai'an smiled slyly, "Every doctor has a different area of ​​expertise, so no one can be an expert in everything. Professor Han is mainly an expert in liver and blood, and he is very skilled in bone setting and massage; while I have a more diverse range of knowledge and have studied with more non-academic teachers. Moreover, this is the first time I have encountered a case like your father's leg, so I think it's worth a try. Just consider me a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers."

Gu Jingxing said proudly, "No, you are highly skilled and daring. Besides, my uncle's leg has been injured for several years, and we have consulted many famous doctors but none of them could cure it. What if you can cure it? It would be perfect for me to make a name for myself."

Gu Jingnian scoffed and rolled his eyes at him, saying, "You're making my dad a guinea pig. My mom would be furious if she knew. And An'an, calling her that so mushy, do you have no humanity?"

"It's your family's good fortune to let An'an try. I absolutely believe An'an can do it. When your dad's leg heals, you'll know how lucky you are to have met my An'an." Gu Jingxing slapped him on the back of the head. "Do you know how amazing An'an is? She skipped first grade and went straight to junior high. How many people like that do you know?"

Gu Jingnian shrank back, gave a thumbs up, and said, "That's a genius boy! Hey, don't hit him, okay, okay, your An'an is the best, alright? Don't hit him, a gentleman uses words, not fists."

“A soldier who can’t fight isn’t a qualified brother—” Gu Jingxing forcefully grabbed his bicycle: “Be careful on the way back, don’t say anything out of line, or you’re finished if you make me uncomfortable.”

Gu Jingnian raised one hand: "Fine, I surrender. You're the older brother, you're in charge. An'an, he bullied me."

Faced with Jing Nian's complaint, Huai An smiled and watched them playfully bickering, saying, "You're quite different now than when you were working in the police force."

Gu Jingnian smiled and said, "My mentor said that one must have authority in the workplace, as that is a deterrent. I am currently in the learning stage, so if someone is an acquaintance, the investigators must recuse themselves."

Gu Jingxing asked, "What happened? What were you doing at the police station?"

Huai'an simply said, "It might be a poisoning case targeting me, and I am cooperating with the investigation."

Gu Jingnian couldn't help but interject, "Brother, Dr. Shi is truly amazing! Last time I got into a fight, I was accidentally knocked down on the roadside and bleeding profusely. It was thanks to Dr. Shi's timely appearance that I was able to stop the bleeding quickly, preventing a major disaster. Now, Dr. Shi is diligently treating Dad's leg injury. Whether Dad can stand up and walk again in the future depends entirely on Dr. Shi's superb medical skills. Thinking about it, Dr. Shi and I really do have a strange connection."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxing's face darkened, and a sharp killing intent flashed in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Hmph, what kind of bullshit fate is this! Can it compare to the deep friendship between Huai'an and me since childhood...?"

He said with no restraint, "Look at you bunch of good-for-nothing playboys, you can't even beat someone in a fight, and you still have the nerve to brag here. How's the investigation into Huai'an going?"

Sensing the displeasure in his brother's eyes, Gu Jingnian shuddered, but quickly regained his playful demeanor and asked with a grin, "We're investigating. Don't worry, we definitely won't let the poisoner get away with it. So, brother, how did you and Dr. Shi meet? And you call her An'an so affectionately, I'm getting jealous."

Gu Jingxing casually put his hands in his pockets and replied nonchalantly, "What right do you have to be jealous? We practically grew up together in this alley, and we were even classmates in junior high. What else do you think?"

Gu Jingnian, having glimpsed something through a small part, seemed to have noticed something. A sly smile appeared on his face as he teased, "Oh, so you're childhood sweethearts! No wonder. My mother told me that since you've come all the way to the capital, even if you're only staying for a day, you should at least go home and visit. She specially prepared a whole table full of delicious food for you. Turns out, you've come here to look for your childhood sweetheart! Come to think of it, it must have been many years since you last saw each other, right?"

As he spoke, he deliberately raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of mockery.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxing glared at his mischievous younger brother but did not offer any further rebuttal.

Huai'an, standing to the side, replied naturally and calmly, "Yes, it has indeed been more than four years since we last met. We haven't seen each other since he joined the army."

Seeing this, Gu Jingnian laughed even harder and continued to tease, "Even so, you're still much luckier than us. After all, you met your long-awaited childhood sweetheart before us! That's truly enviable! It shows that this guy is completely someone who values ​​romance over friendship—no, to be precise, he looks down on everyone, hahahahaha..."

In the end, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the air.

At this moment, Huai'an felt uncomfortable all over, and his cheeks instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.

She looked away, secretly regretting that she shouldn't have come along to join in the fun; it could easily lead to misunderstandings.

Gu Jingxing, however, replied calmly and without any apparent concern, "Of course, we grew up together, so our bond is incredibly deep, something that just anyone can compare to..."

Before he finished speaking, he gestured defiantly with his chin toward his younger brother.

Huai'an was afraid they would continue to make fun of him about this, so he deliberately changed the subject and exposed his shortcomings: "Since you are a policeman, how come you were beaten up so badly last time and bled so much?"

Gu Jingnian laughed and said, "This is blatant revenge..."

He scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and then confessed: "It was really bad luck. My master and I were in plainclothes chasing two suspects. The two of them ran separately. The one I was chasing was very cunning. He kept running into crowds and even brandished a dagger. I was afraid of hurting the people, so when I dodged the knife, I bumped into a pillar and broke my head. He got away. I didn't get any credit and was severely criticized by my work unit and family. They said that I didn't practice my skills properly and messed up at the crucial moment. I might even lose my life."

Huai'an and Jingxing burst into laughter...

When they arrived at a military compound, soldiers were on guard. Gu Jingxing and Shi Huai'an had to register before they could enter.

When they arrived at the Gu family home, they saw Li Ying and Gu Xihua sitting leisurely on a spacious and comfortable sofa, holding newspapers and chatting casually while reading the latest news.

Before I even reached my doorstep, a muscular, dark-skinned boy came running out carrying a basketball, shouting as he ran, "I'm going to play basketball, don't worry about me."

Li Ying rushed out waving a rolling pin in the air and shouted, "Gu Jingyan, come back here! Have you finished your homework? You're already in the first year of high school, all you do is play around. If you don't study now, how are you going to do the college entrance exam?"

Gu Jingyan said with a grin, "I'll join the army right after I graduate from high school, so don't worry about it."

Li Ying clutched her chest in anger, a mouthful of blood choking her throat, and said, "How can you graduate from high school like this? How could I have given birth to such a thing? All you do is fight and cause trouble every day. Can't you give me a break?"

Gu Xihua pushed the wheelchair to the door and shouted, "You bastard, get back here right now!"

Gu Jingyan was still a little intimidated by his father, and was hesitating with his head down when he suddenly saw Gu Jingxing and his group. He quickly rushed over with a smile and said, "Big brother, you've finally come! It's been four years since I last saw you. I've missed you so much!"

"Hey! You've grown quite a bit taller since I last saw you!" Gu Jingxing said with a big smile, reaching out a hand to put his arm around Jingyan's shoulder. His eyes were full of joy.

Gu Jingnian glanced at Jing Yan sideways, frowned, and let out a cold snort: "Hmph, do you feel like you're asking for trouble again?"

Just then, Gu Jingyan, who looked somewhat honest and simple, suddenly leaned forward and craned his neck to look curiously at Shi Huai'an beside him.

"Wow! Who is this little girl? She's so cute. I've never seen her before!" Jing Yan couldn't help but exclaim.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxing's smile vanished instantly. He raised his hand and slapped Gu Jingyan hard across the back of the head without any hesitation, shouting, "Don't you know any manners? Who gave you permission to call that young lady that?"

Seeing this, Gu Jingnian quickly gave Gu Jingyan a look and lowered his voice to remind him, "Don't shout! You better watch your step. Don't underestimate her just because she's young. She's not an ordinary little girl. This is Dr. Shi, the doctor who came here specifically to help our father treat his leg ailment. So you need to be careful with your words and don't say anything that might upset someone."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingyan first playfully stuck out his tongue at his brothers, then replied with a grin, "Oh, I know, I know! But big brother, you hit too hard! They say you shouldn't hit someone on the head, or it'll make them dumber!"

"Alright then, since you think hitting the head is no good, then tell me, where should I hit?" Gu Jingxing asked with a half-smile, raising his hand as if to hit again.

This put Gu Jingyan in a difficult position. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then replied with a troubled expression, "Uh...slapping my face seems like it would hurt my self-esteem, and spanking my buttocks seems too unseemly. How about this, brother, please forgive me this time for the sake of this pretty young lady, okay?"

As she spoke, she didn't forget to put on a pitiful look, trying to gain everyone's sympathy.

Huai'an burst out laughing, and Gu Jingxing chased after her, wanting to hit her again, and said with a smile: "You didn't like studying at school, so you learned to be glib and talkative, calling her 'little sister' and 'older sister'. I think you haven't hit her enough."

Gu Jingyan had already dashed behind his father and said, "Dad, my older brother is going to hit me."

Li Ying gritted her teeth and glared, saying, "I think he's just thick-skinned and deserves to be beaten. He's a disrespectful brat."

Then she turned to Huai'an with a smile and said, "Oh my, isn't this Dr. Shi! What brings you to my humble abode today? Is this a return visit? We've been taking the medicinal baths on time, just as the doctor instructed. Come on in, please come in and have a seat!" As she spoke, she extended her hand in a welcoming gesture.
