Chapter 21: Brothers Entering the Capital

  Leaning against the seat, Xiao Yu's mind was exhausted and he fell asleep unknowingly. He didn't know how long had passed when a long whistle startled him awake. Xiao Yu lifted his head to see that the train was about to enter Beijing Station. After resting, Xiao Yu's spirit had recovered somewhat, but he still felt dizzy from time to time. He thought: "It seems that this life-or-death gaze can't be used frequently after all!"

  Xiao Yu saw the train had arrived, Xiao Yu took out a brush and wrote a prescription on a piece of paper. He handed it to the little boy's mother and said: "Sister, follow this prescription, pay attention to comforting the child, and Little Yu should be able to recover in ten days."

  After finishing speaking, the child's mother didn't wait and walked towards the train carriage door with her bag on her back.

  Zhou Ruoying was still holding the prescription in a daze, her heart filled with excitement and apprehension. For their son's illness, they had run to countless hospitals and sought out many famous doctors, taking a large pile of Chinese and Western medicine, but the child showed no signs of improvement. Yet this young man she met on the bus said that only ten doses of medicine could cure his own son. She was excited because she heard that her son could be cured with just ten doses of medicine, but she was also apprehensive - would this young man really be able to diagnose illnesses? Wouldn't he be a swindler?!

  What if Xiao Yu knew that his good intentions were misunderstood as deceit? After more than 10 hours of torture, the bullet train finally arrived in Kyoto, and it's already past 7 pm.

  October in the capital, the evening wind carried a hint of coolness. Xiao Yu, who had just gotten off the car, was blown by the cool breeze and shivered all over. The weather in the capital was drier and cooler compared to the deep sea, but less humid and sweltering. Feeling the autumn breeze in the capital, Xiao Yu thought of his home, which was only a 2-hour drive away. He hadn't been back for more than half a year and didn't know how his mother and sister were doing now. After this transaction is over, I should go back home and take a look, Xiao Yu sighed to himself.

  "Second brother, second brother, I'm over here..."

  Xiao Yu, who was walking with his head down on the platform, suddenly heard a familiar voice. Following the sound, he saw Zhuo Si Mian, the not very tall dormitory elder, jumping and waving at him.

  "Boss, what brings you here? Waiting for someone?"

  Xiao Yu walked over, hugged Zhuo Si Mian and asked curiously. Xiao Yu didn't think the boss was here to pick him up because when he came, he only told Wei Jun, mainly because he was afraid that he couldn't find himself.

  "Ah, brother I'm here to pick you up!" Zhuo Siyun said with a smile. Pausing for a moment, he continued: "But now that I've picked you up, let's go!"

  Xiao Yu was taken aback and said: "How did you know I was coming?"

  "Speaking of this, I'm so angry. Coming to the capital city, you didn't even give your brother a call, and you still treat me like I'm your superior? If it wasn't for that kid Wei Jun being afraid you'd be at a disadvantage in an unfamiliar place, he wouldn't have looked up your train schedule and told me. Otherwise, I'd still be in the dark!" Zhuo Siyun punched Xiao Ye's chest, complaining.

  Xiao Yu looked at Zhuo Si Mian in front of him and felt a wave of emotion. In college, Zhuo Si Mian could be said to be two extremes with Xiao Yu. At that time, Xiao Yu was always among the last three, while Zhuo Si Mian was always the first in the department, and his scores were always more than 20 points higher than the second place. It's hard to imagine that two people like this would have anything to do with each other, but they became friends anyway.

  During his university days, Xiao Yu's dormitory was also ranked like other dormitories. However, in the dormitory, it is unknown whether Xiao Yu's studies were poor or whether Xiao Yu was too popular in the basketball team. In short, everyone in the dormitory kept their distance from him, and only Lao Da Zhuo Si Wei always treated him as a friend and brother.

  Looking at the still passionate old man, Xiao Yu's eyes warmed up and he smiled: "I'm not afraid of delaying your old self from flirting with girls? But the northern wind is still so strong, it blows my eyes sore." After finishing, he rubbed his eyes with his hand.

  "Hey kid, stop that nonsense! Go back home!"

  Zhuo Siwei patted Xiao Yu's arm and took his bag. He received a call from Wei Jun this afternoon and rushed here as soon as he got off work, and he hasn't eaten yet.

  The two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the parking lot of the station, where Second Brother opened the door of a car.

  "Wow, boss, you're doing well! You've even got an Audi? How many red envelopes did this little doctor have to collect to afford it?"

  Xiao Yu didn't know what Zuo Si Mian's family did, but he knew they weren't ordinary. In his senior year of high school, when he had failed 11 out of 13 subjects and the principal wanted to talk to him, he overheard Lao Da speaking with the principal outside the office door. The principal was extremely polite to Lao Da, and in the end, Lao Da just casually mentioned that Xiao Yu was his good friend. As a result, not only did the principal allow Xiao Yu to retake the exams, but he also passed all of them. From then on, Xiao Yu knew that Lao Da's family must have some significant background, but Lao Da never mentioned it, so he didn't ask.

  "This isn't my car, it's the company car assigned to my family's old man. Haven't you seen the military plate on it? Later we'll go eat, none of our cars have a license plate that can be shown off without losing face. If it weren't for our family's old lady being strict, I would've directly driven the car onto the platform to pick you up."

  Xiao Yu only then noticed that although the car was just an ordinary Audi A6, the license plate was a military one, and on the window there were a stack of passes, among which one pass for Zhongnanhai was particularly eye-catching, showing that this car was not ordinary.

  "Boss, let's just find a place to settle down for now, I have something to take care of tonight, no need to make it too complicated..."

  Xiao Ye looked at the time, it was not yet half past seven. At nine o'clock, Cai Laoshi should still be asleep. Since he had helped him so much, it was only right to visit him in person.

  "No way, can't it wait till tomorrow? I finally managed to get Grandpa's car out today, at least let me enjoy it for a bit! Besides, my grandpa heard that you're a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and wants to meet you..."

  The boss said, driving the car onto an overpass, heading towards the city center, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

  I took out my phone and called Teacher Cai, saying I had run into a friend and would go to his house early the next day. But Teacher Cai complained, saying something like "your aunt has already cooked food and is waiting for you to come over and eat".
