Love So Sweet

57 Check-up

Once she returned, Zhang Li Xue went back to her room and lay down on her bed for a long time. She couldn’t help but recalled a few moments at the banquet earlier.

Who would have thought that she would become very surprised when he appeared beside her that she was unable to say a word.

Isn’t it just meeting an old friend? She should have been more composed.

Zhang Li Xue scolded herself for acting like a fool.

Maybe Mu Zhen Yu would think that she had gone stupider after years of not meeting each other.

A loud sigh escaped her.

Forget it. Everything had passed. Brother Zhen Yu should be busy with a lot of things. Perhaps she would not be meeting him in the near future.

Taking the phone from the side table, Zhang Li Xue began to scroll her phone, looking at her friend’s moments.

Mo Qing Huan posted a few pictures from her honeymoon trip with her husband.

.....

Looking at the smile on Mo Qing Huan’s face let her know just how happy this girl was with He Rong.

Zhang Li Xue posted a comment to tease the newlywed. She was about to put down her phone when a message came in.

It was from her Uncle Qi Zheng, reminding her to visit the hospital for a check-up.

...

Zhang Li Xue thought that now that her ankle was properly healed, she no longer have to go to the hospital for a check-up. In her opinion, it was better not to waste the hospital’s resources. Their Uncle Qi Zheng could see patients who might need his consultation more.

However, her brother, Zhang Yi Hai was still worried. He coaxed his sister a few times but the girl was still stubborn.

In the end, Zhang Yi Hai had to mention that their Uncle Qi Zheng would pay her a personal visit if she did not head over to the hospital.

Worried that she would only trouble her Uncle Qi Zheng, Zhang Li Xue finally agreed.

“You don’t have to drive me over,” Zhang Li Xue spoke as they were nearing the hospital. “Yi Hai, you didn’t trust your sister.”

The boy pursed his lips as he concentrated on the road. Once he finally spotted an empty parking spot, Zhang Yi Hai finally spoke, “It’s not that I don’t trust you. But sister, you can’t drive with your legs.”

“My ankle is already fine.” Zhang Li Xue sighed. “I can grab a taxi.”

She loved her brother dearly, but this boy was too worried and stubborn. Sometimes, Zhang Li Xue would wonder if they had shifted their roles. These days, Zhang Yi Hai seemed more like her eldest brother to her.

It seemed that now that he had grown up, he was no longer that easy to bully and deceive.

With one hand, Zhang Yi Hai had successfully attempted reverse parking. He turned off the engine and looked at his sister without saying a word.

“Don’t you need to go back to your campus?” Zhang Li Xue asked.

“I’ll go back after your check-up,” Zhang Yi Hai said. “I don’t have any class today.”

Zhang Li Xue knew that she could not escape. Since they had already arrived in front of the hospital, it would be better if she go in and say hi to their Uncle Qi Zheng.

The siblings alighted from the car and headed straight to the surgical department.

She was not supposed to head to the surgical department to check on her ankle. However, her uncle was from the department and she could only pretend as if she came over to visit a family member.

This was not their first time visiting and they were quite familiar with the hospital. The moment they arrived, Zhang Li Xue checked with the nurses before she went to find her uncle.

Her steps halted when she saw that her brother was still following her around. “Why don’t you go ahead and wait for me somewhere else.”

“It’s fine. I can go with you.”

“I’m already an adult. It felt embarrassing to have a family accompanying me, especially when my injury isn’t that bad.”

Zhang Yi Hai pursed his lips. “Then, I’ll head over to the cafe after greeting Uncle Qi Zheng.”

This time. Zhang Li Xue could not find a reason to reject her brother.

She knocked at the door and entered the room.

Qi Zheng raised his head and smiled when he saw the girl. “I thought that you wouldn’t be coming over.” He saw Zhang Yi Hai at the door and finally understood what was going on.

“Uncle Qi Zheng, hello.” Zhang Yi Hai nodded. “I’m only here to drop off my sister. I’ll go and wait for her outside.” He looked at his sister before shutting the door to give them some space.

“Uncle Qi Zheng, my ankle is really fine. I really don’t think that I should come over to let you check,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Wouldn’t this be considered as wasting your time?”

“Now that I’m older, I can delegate some tasks to the younger doctors,” Qi Zheng said. “You can say that I am looking forward to wasting my time.”

The corner of her lips started to twitch. “What is it? The new doctors are giving you trouble?”

Qi Zheng laughed. “Most of them are quite good. But there are still a few who likes to look for trouble. I’m your uncle. I should be concerned about you. Alright, let me take a look at your ankle.” Qi Zheng waved his hand. “If it didn’t get better, I will refer you to the other department.”

Zhang Li Xue let her uncle check her ankle. Seeing the man’s face, she immediately knew that there should not be any problem with it.

“Mmm... You can go and play basketball,” Qi Zheng said. “Just don’t force yourself too much. You are still young. An injury might seem like a small thing now, but if you don’t properly look after it, it will affect you when you are older. ”

Zhang Li Xue nodded as she listened to her uncle nagging. “Un... I know.

Qi Zheng looked at his watch and spoke, “It’s almost lunch hour. How about you and your brother accompany me for lunch? I remember that you liked the cafeteria’s chicken wings.”

The girl was about to use her brother as her excuse to reject her uncle’s invitation. However, she began to change her mind when she recalled the taste of the chicken wings.
