After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter 79: Be her best friend, and I can protect her.

"Aren't there plenty of cases where agents take the blame for their artists?" I asked. "If they take the blame to this extent, it can only mean that their interests are too intertwined. Weighing the pros and cons, they can only protect their greater interests by sacrificing the agent, even though there are losses involved."

"I didn't expect Zhao Baixue to be so difficult to deal with." Mu Xi clenched her small fist and pounded the table.

I smiled.

After we finished eating, we went home.

When Mu Xi got home, she stepped on the scale and exclaimed, "Wow, I've actually gained five pounds!"

I calmly replied, "It's okay. If your metabolism is normal, it will come down by tomorrow morning."

"No, I can't accept that. I'm going to the gym downstairs to swim." Mu Xi said angrily, "It's all Zhao Baixue's fault. Who told them to upset me and make me eat a few more bites of rice?"

I shook my head speechlessly.

She packed her things and went to the gym.

I brewed her a pot of herbal tea to help with digestion.

Ding dong.

Someone sent me a WeChat message.

I clicked on it.

Huo Yubai: I have a young patient here, may I ask you to take a look?

I frowned: Little patient?

Could it be him?

Huo Yubai: She is Teacher Tian's granddaughter, named Niu Niu. She has renal insufficiency, but she can't wait for a suitable kidney transplant. The hospital is giving her conservative treatment, hoping she can hold on until the day of the surgery, but her condition is not good right now.

Is she Teacher Tian's granddaughter?

Me: Where is she now?

Huo Yubai: At the hospital, Teacher Tian's wife is with her. The little one vomited again; she hasn't eaten much for several days.

Me: Send me the hospital address, I'll go there now.

Huo Yubai sent a location.

I glanced at it and immediately went outside.

-

Half an hour later.

I arrived at the hospital.

Huo Yubai stood tall and elegant at the hospital entrance.

I got out of the car and walked over: "Why are you standing here?"

"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find the ward, so I was waiting for you." Huo Yubai looked at me with his unfathomable black eyes.

I said speechlessly, "I know this hospital better than you do."

Huo Yubai pursed his lips.

"Lead the way," I said helplessly.

Huo Yubai smiled slightly: "This way."

I followed him into the elevator.

It was nighttime.

Hospitals are not supposed to accept visitors or guests at night.

However, Huo Yubai has superpowers.

He arranged a VIP ward for Niu Niu.

The ward was decorated in a very dreamy way, with cute dolls everywhere.

A tiny person lay in the middle of the hospital bed, with an IV needle inserted into the back of their hand, which was swollen very high.

She's so cute, with big, bright eyes, but she's so small and thin, it's heartbreaking to see her like that.

Teacher Tian's wife stood up: "Mr. Huo."

"Aunt Wang, this is Shen Yan. She is also Teacher Tian's student and is now a very skilled doctor," Huo Yubai explained.

Aunt Wang looked at Shen Yan and said, "I remember you. You're really beautiful."

I walked over and said, "Aunt Wang, let me see Niu Niu."

"Okay." Aunt Wang made room for her.

I bent down and said, "Niu Niu, hello there."

Niu Niu looked at me and said, "Sister, you're so pretty."

I smiled and gently stroked her nose with my finger: "You're pretty too. Let me take a look at you. If you feel unwell, just tell me, okay?"

"Sister, you're here to save me. I won't cry even if it hurts. Niu Niu is very strong." Niu Niu's words were also very cute.

My heart ached and my nose tingled: "Sister will be gentler."

Niu Niu nodded.

I first took her pulse, and then I did a simple examination with a stethoscope.

Aunt Wang stood anxiously behind me: "Xiao Shen, this child has been vomiting everything she eats these past two days. If this continues, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on."

"It's alright. She's just having some adverse reactions to the medications she's currently taking. It's not the doctors' fault; if they didn't use these medications, her condition would be difficult to control." I tucked Niu Niu in. "I'll talk to her attending physician first thing tomorrow morning. We'll try a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to see if things improve."

"Okay." Aunt Wang nodded.

I took out my silver needles: "I'll give her acupuncture first to help relieve her pain."

Aunt Wang wiped away her tears: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Shen."

"If this injection works, she might have an appetite soon. Aunt Wang, could you go and heat up some food for her?" I instructed.

"I'll go right now." Aunt Wang took the uneaten dinner and went out.

"Pretty sister, I want to eat fried chicken burgers." Niu Niu looked at me with her big, bright eyes, which made me feel soft-hearted.

"I'll take you out to eat when you're better." I touched her face.

Then slowly insert the silver needles gently into the top of her head, followed by several needles, placed on her chest all the way down to her navel.

Huo Yubai remained seated on the sofa, looking down at his phone.

“When Mom left, she took me out to eat.” Niu Niu recalled, “She said she would take me out to eat again when she came back, but she will never come back.”

Her pitiful eyes were full of disappointment.

As someone who also lives with my mother, I can truly understand Niu Niu.

But I don't know how to comfort you.

“Niu Niu, actually Mommy didn’t leave. She’s always been by your side with you, so you must be strong and get well so she can be happy.” My voice was a little hoarse.

“But pretty sister, I don’t want Mom to keep watching me. I want her to be reincarnated so that when she’s born, I can be her friend, her best friend, and I can protect her.” Niu Niu’s words were completely unlike those of a child who was almost four years old.

I was surprised and saddened; she was so sensible and mature.

But Aunt Wang returned very soon.

When she saw the needles on Niu Niu's body, tears welled up in her eyes, but she turned away and wiped them away, saying, "I forgot to pour you a glass of water."

"Aunt Wang, you don't need to bother." I said, "I'm not thirsty, please pour Mr. Huo a glass."

"I don't need it either," Huo Yubai said calmly.

Aunt Wang gave an awkward smile.

Niu Niu seemed to be in better spirits: "Grandma, I'm hungry."

Aunt Wang immediately brought over dinner: "Eat something if you're hungry."

"No rush, let me remove the acupuncture needles and eat in ten minutes." I removed the acupuncture needles.

Ten minutes passed.

Aunt Wang fed Niu Niu.

Niu Niu didn't vomit.

Aunt Wang was very happy: "Niu Niu is great, eat slowly, no rush."

Niu Niu smiled and said, "I don't feel uncomfortable here anymore."

She pointed to her stomach: "Is this pretty lady a goddess? She's so amazing!"

I touched her face and said, "I'm not a fairy, I'm just a doctor. Don't eat too much tonight, I'll bring you something delicious tomorrow."

"Really?" Niu Niu asked expectantly.

"Pretty ladies never lie, because if they lied, they wouldn't be pretty," I said with a smile.

Niu Niu chuckled and said, "Pretty sister is pretty, even when she's lying."

Aunt Wang laughed and said, "It's true that values ​​follow appearance. Little Shen is both kind and beautiful. Niu Niu mustn't forget her when she grows up."

Niu Niu blinked, her eyes sparkling like stars: "When Niu Niu grows up, she wants to be a doctor like the pretty older sister!"
