Finally, Su Ziyang was about to get off the train at his stop, no longer having to endure the torment of the fat woman.

But after Su Ziyang packed his bags, he suddenly saw the fat woman also packing her things to get off the bus.

After the plump woman finished packing her things, she turned around and saw Su Ziyang also packing his things. Her eyes instantly lit up. "Big brother, you're getting off here too! What a coincidence! What a coincidence!"

Su Ziyang nodded awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

"Hey, can I help you carry your things?" The fat woman said, reaching out to grab Su Ziyang's suitcase.

"No, no!" Su Ziyang quickly refused, clutching his suitcase tightly in his hand.

The train stopped, Su Ziyang, his face full of black lines, hurried towards the exit. The fat woman followed closely behind Su Ziyang, calling out, "Big brother, big brother! You have martial arts skills, you have martial arts skills! Slow down, slow down! Wait for me! Wait for me!"

Hearing the fat woman pattering behind him, Su Ziyang quickened his pace.

Fairy Li said she was coming to pick up Su Ziyang at the station. Just as they arrived at the exit, Su Ziyang saw Fairy Li, dressed in classical Hanfu, looking into the station.

"Ah~ Xiao Su, Xiao Su!" As soon as Fairy Li saw Su Ziyang come out of the station, she skipped and hopped towards Su Ziyang, her steps very cheerful.

"Haha, hello Fairy Li!" Su Ziyang greeted Fairy Li with a smile.

"Huff~ Huff~" The plump woman caught up from behind, panting heavily. When she saw Fairy Li in her ancient costume, her eyes lit up even more. "Big brother, big brother! Wow! This must be your Daoist partner, big brother! Wow! So ethereal!"

"Uh..." Fairy Li looked at the eccentric, fat woman, somewhat bewildered. "Xiao Su, what's this?"

"I don't know her either. She sat next to me on the train! A chuunibyou girl!" Su Ziyang whispered a few words of explanation in Fairy Li's ear.

"Oh!~" Fairy Li pouted her little mouth, raised her eyebrows, and gave a funny, exaggerated "oh".

"Big Brother, can I add you on WeChat? Big Brother! And this fairy, I don't mean anything by it, I just admire Big Brother's martial arts skills, I'm a fan of Big Brother! It's not like that!" The fat woman asked Su Ziyang for his WeChat while explaining to Fairy Li.

"Add it, add it! It's alright!" Fairy Li covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes curving into crescents.

"Um... let's forget about adding WeChat." Su Ziyang was a little embarrassed!

"Big pot~" The fat woman stared at Su Ziyang with wide eyes and gave him a very plump and cute look.

"Go ahead and add her! She admires you so much!" Fairy Li continued to chuckle, then snatched Su Ziyang's phone, scanned the QR code, and added the fat woman on WeChat.

"Big brother, I've sent the WeChat name! I'm leaving now, goodbye!" The fat woman clasped her hands in a fist salute to Su Ziyang and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"Wow! Xiao Su! You've even gained a little fangirl on the train! That's amazing! Thumbs up!" Fairy Li teased Su Ziyang as she walked towards the parking lot.

Su Ziyang, pulling his suitcase, followed behind Fairy Li, looking helpless and not daring to say a word.

Fairy Li drove a Toyota Prado that was completely out of place for her physique and status.

Su Ziyang once asked Fairy Li why she drove this car, Fairy Li only replied with two words: "Prado..."

After the car started, Su Ziyang's tense nerves finally relaxed. His eyelids began to droop, and even though Su Ziyang had used his internal True Qi to open up the acupoints that had been struck, half of his body was still a little sore.

Seeing that Su Ziyang was fast asleep in the backrest, Fairy Li turned off the music in the car, adjusted the air conditioning, and then quietly focused on driving.

The car drove directly to the building where Su Ziyang rented a house before Fairy Li woke Su Ziyang up from his sleep.

"We're home!?" Su Ziyang rubbed his heavy eyelids.

"Of course! She fell asleep as soon as she got in the car and didn't say a word! And to make me drive!" Fairy Li pouted and complained.

Su Ziyang chuckled and rubbed his face a little sheepishly, "I'm a bit tired. I'm not feeling well!"

"What's wrong!"

Upon hearing Su Ziyang say he wasn't feeling well, Fairy Li stopped complaining and immediately became worried again.

"Sigh! Maybe I'm just tired from the train ride!" Su Ziyang didn't tell the truth so as not to worry Fairy Li.

The two went upstairs. Since Fairy Li had a key to Su Ziyang's upstairs room, she had already cleaned it for Su Ziyang. So when Su Ziyang entered, the room was spotless, without a speck of dust.

"Thank you, Fairy Li!" Su Ziyang said to Fairy Li, looking at the clean floor.

"No need! You should take a nap a little longer. I'll make you something to eat, and I'll call you when it's ready!" Fairy Li pushed Su Ziyang's suitcase into the bedroom.

Su Ziyang wanted to be more polite, but half of his body was sore and numb, and he was getting more and more tired, so he didn't stand on ceremony with Fairy Li anymore and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

"Xiao Su, Xiao Su!" Fairy Li patted Su Ziyang on the back, waking Su Ziyang up.

Su Ziyang then realized that his body was soaked with sweat again.

"Why are you sweating so much! You're not going to catch a cold, are you? You're a doctor, you need to take care of yourself too! What happened to you? Honestly!" Fairy Li's words were more worried than blaming.

"I'm just too tired! It's nothing. Thank you Fairy Li!" Su Ziyang thanked her again.

"Sigh, I just can't control you!" Fairy Li handed Su Ziyang a towel. "Wipe yourself off and eat! I made congee with preserved egg and lean pork, egg dumplings, and I even bought two steamed buns. Hurry up and get up!"

"This is such a feast, thank you so much, Fairy Li!"

"Ugh, all that 'thank you' is so boring! Let's eat!"

Su Ziyang wiped his face and hands, moved his shoulder, and found that the soreness had subsided somewhat, which put him at ease.

After the two finished their meal, Fairy Li returned to the Daoist temple. Su Ziyang rested for half an hour, but dared not delay, and quickly began to circulate his internal energy to repair the damaged meridians. This kind of skill is extremely insidious, and if it is not a particularly powerful master who helps to release the acupoints, it is easy to leave behind a chronic illness.

Knowing that Su Ziyang was not feeling well, Fairy Li cooked for Su Ziyang for several days in a row, making Su Ziyang extremely embarrassed.

Finally, the Daoist Medicine Clinic officially reopened, and everyone gradually returned to work.

Su Ziyang opened the door to the outpatient clinic and looked at the familiar consultation table. So much had happened in the past year, completely transforming Su Ziyang from a novice young man into a clinical doctor.

Su Ziyang had just sat down when he received a message on his phone from the fat woman who had been trying to add him on WeChat Su Ziyang day.

This fat woman, or rather, this fat girl, is named Jin Tiantian.

Su Ziyang clicked on the voice message sent by Jin Tiantian, and Jin Tiantian's naive voice came from WeChat: "Da Xia Da Guo, I saw this in your WeChat Moments, are you a Chinese medicine practitioner?"

"Yes!" Su Ziyang replied simply.

"Big brother! Can you treat illnesses?" Jin Tiantian sent another voice message.

Hearing Jin Tiantian's words, Su Ziyang sent a laughing-crying emoji, "Of course!"

"Okay, big brother! I'll come find you later!"

"Ah?"

Su Ziyang sent another message, but Jin Tiantian did not reply.
