”What?! Xia'er is here too!” Xu Jinghe's face was filled with shock. He quickly took a deep breath and restored his gentle face.

This transformation was rather fast.

Hearing the noise from inside the house, the door opened and three old men and Ming Chuan and his father came out.

Xu Jinghe's eyes lit up as he hurriedly greeted them one by one in a very polite manner.

Finally, he walked up to an old man and said with a smile, ”Second Uncle, why are you here too?”

”Do you still have your second great-uncle in your eyes? In my opinion, you only have this little girl Ming Xia in your eyes. ” Xu Wei laughed loudly.

Xu Jinghe looked bashful as he couldn't help but look at Mingxia before saying, ”Second Granduncle, you will scare Xia'er like this. Xia'er and I are only brothers and sisters right now.”

In the next week, Xu Wenlei stared blankly.

Xu Jinghe was indeed Xu Jinghe. With his reaction and performance, there really wasn't anything to be picky about.

Especially toward Mingxia's bashful expression, it was simply unbearable.

”Who said that they were competing in medical skills?” Ming Chuan spoke drunkenly.

Xu Jinghe quickly said, ”Master, I just want to spar with this friend.” Master, you may not know this, but this friend of yours is the youngest associate professor of our Jiangbei Medical School.

”His medical skills are pretty good.” Ming Chuan nodded.

”Jing He, ah, your child will feel itchy when you see a skilled doctor. You should give him some pointers so that he won't hurt your friendship. After all, you're both teaching at Jiangbei Medical College.” Xu Wei said.

”Indeed, you should give way. Jing and her medical skills are from the Successor Disciple of Chuan, and you, second uncle, have been personally taught by her. I'm afraid not many people of the same age can be her match.” Some old men praised.

”No, no, I'm a lot older than him, and I don't have the energy to teach him. It's just that he is diligent in learning medicine and has some talent, so that's why he has the results he has today.” Xu Wei laughed until his eyes narrowed.

He truly liked Xu Jinghe from the bottom of his heart. He loved him as if he was his own grandson.

Hearing their words, Xu Wenlei couldn't help but whisper into Zhou Tian's ear: ”Teacher, that brat is unsettled. He is the youngest lecturer in Jiangbei Medical Academy. You are just an assistant professor. And that old man is obviously building up his momentum and paving the way for his future. ”

Zhou Tian's expression did not change. In fact, he was in a good mood today, so he was too lazy to lower himself to Xu Jinghe. However, if the other party really wanted to send him to the countryside, he didn't mind stretching his muscles and bones a bit.

Other than Ming Chuan, there was not a single doctor that caught his eye.

A person who studied medicine, after healing for a long time, would have an indescribable smell of medicine on his body. It was very faint and ordinary people wouldn't be able to smell it, but Zhou Tian could.

That Xu Wei was very old and had a faint medicinal smell. At least ten years of him didn't treat anyone seriously. As for Ming Chuan, the smell of medicine was very strong, so much so that Zhou Tian could tell that he had to go every day to save the patient. He was a truly good doctor who cured people, and his body was not ordinary.

As he watched Xu Jing and those people chat enthusiastically, Zhou Tian looked at Xu Wenlei and said: ”You want to bring me here today?”

”Master, in fact, that Jam Noodle Roll was done more than ten years ago. However, the culinary skills here are truly excellent. I would like to bring you guys to experience it.” Xu Wenlei hastily explained.

”It's fine, the cooking here is really good.” Zhou Tian was stunned.

He was just casually asking, was he that scary?

”Teacher, the Second Mistress seems to be in a bad mood.” Xu Wenlei suddenly said.

”Brother Chuan, I think that Jing and your family's Ming Xia are very compatible. Their children are shameless, so we elders will decide for them, what do you say?” Xu Wei said.

Ming Chuan was still drunk, so he ignored Ming Xia, who was tugging at his sleeve, and said, ”I don't have any objections to this matter. However, this isn't the past; this isn't the time for free love, so I can't force my daughter to marry me.”

Hearing this, Ming Xia let out a sigh of relief.

”Brother Chuan, your words are wrong. Since ancient times, marriage has always been the order of the parents and the matchmaker. Didn't we all come here the same way? In my opinion, young people are too thin-skinned to wipe away their face, and young people love to play, so they don't want to get married early. ” Xu Wei paused, then continued, ”I don't mean for them to get married right now, but let them get married first, so that we elders have one less thing to worry about.”

This move of retreating to advance is really amazing. I have to learn it in the future. Xu Wenlei shook his head.

Zhou Tian frowned. This was the rhythm of forced marriage. However, he was an outsider, so it was not good for him to get involved with other people's family matters.

”Xia'er's mother passed away a few years ago. Why wouldn't I want to settle down her marriage earlier?” Ming Chuan sighed as if he was an old man late in life.

Ming Xia's eyes were bloodshot and she was on the verge of tears, but she really didn't want to marry Xu Jinghe.

Will he help me? Can he help me? Ming Xia looked at Zhou Tian and found that he had a serious expression on his face as he nodded. Immediately, tears began to flow down his face as he smiled.

”Father, I have decided! As long as Xu Jinghe can defeat him in terms of medical skills, then I will marry! ” Ming Xia looked at Zhou Tian with sparkling eyes, as if he had regained his vigor.
