When Jian Mei returned to his room, he saw a package on his table.

Right next to the charger laid a delicately wrapped package exuding a sense of technology. The packaging was inlaid with blue iron, making it heavy to pick up. There was a button in the center of the box. After he pressed it, the box made a ‘di’ sound, then slowly opened and revealed the contents inside.

Jian Mei hesitated a bit before he arrived at a surprising conclusion. “Is it the medicinal herbs?!” NqcpKw

Just when he almost forgot about the All Kinds of Medicine, he suddenly saw the herbs appear on the table out of thin air, so he was very surprised and happy. It really made him excited; if this was in the past, he’d definitely find it unbelievable. However, after seeing Dazhuang-ge transfer things with the charger, he accepted it easily.

“Knock, knock.”

There was knocking on the door from outside.

Jian Mei was shocked and looked back vigilantly. “Who is it?”

His father’s voice came from outside. “Meimei, it’s me.”

Jian Mei hurriedly hid the herbs and went over to open the door. Jian Shencheng was standing outside in dark pajamas while holding a glass of milk. He looked at Jian Mei gently and said, “You haven’t slept yet?”

Jian Mei shook his head. “Not yet.”

Jian Shencheng asked, “Can I come inside?” CYL8dh

Jian Mei agreed and stepped aside. “Yes.”

They walked inside. Jian Shencheng put the glass of milk on the table, sat down on the sofa next to him and asked Jian Mei, “What did you and your brother do today?”

Jian Mei talked honestly about the gaming lounge.

When Jian Shencheng heard this, he didn’t scold Jian Mei, but asked softly, “Did you have fun?” 5o7bEF

After hearing these words, Jian Shencheng was touched. He looked at his obedient and sensible son and had mixed feelings. Their children were always very easy to understand, but neither of them ever took the time to talk to them.

Jian Shencheng reached out his hand and patted Jian Mei’s head. “Your mom isn’t angry, she’s just worried about you.”

“The way she talks and does things makes you unhappy, right?” Jian Shencheng’s movements were gently. “I apologize on her behalf, okay? Don’t be angry with your mom, she’ll be very hurt.”

Jian Mei lowered his head and said, “I’m not angry with her. I didn’t stay at home today because I was afraid that mom would be angry with me again if she saw me. I don’t want to make her unhappy.” ecyI8C

Seeing his child like this, Jian Shencheng was also helpless. He sighed and said to Jian Mei, “But you just disappeared without saying anything, which didn’t solve the problem, right? You should talk to dad about problems you have. I promise that I’ll help you with it. Do you believe me?”

In fact, Jian Mei had spent more time with his father growing up.

When he was a child, he followed his grandpa and father to learn how to recognize herbs. After he got sick and was hospitalized, his father was also one of his attending doctors. His father accompanied him through many stages of his life, so he trusted his father from the bottom of his heart.

So he said hesitantly, “Then…Dad, can you do me a favor?” ZRBNGF

Jian Shencheng said, “What is it?”

Jian Mei thought about it over and over again, and in the end, he took the herbs out of the drawer. He knew how shocking this would be for his parents, but he had to do it. He alone didn’t have the ability to make medicine for Dazhuang-ge at this moment. He couldn’t take a person’s life lightly and many things couldn’t wait.

Jian Shencheng looked at it and his face changed. “Where did you get those!”

Jian Mei didn’t want to expose the secret about his phone, so he thought about it and said, “It was sent to me by Dazhuang-ge.” Nj51oa

Jian Shencheng didn’t believe it. Any of the herbs in this were worth thousands of dollars. If one of them was taken to an auction, it’d be worth a house. And all these things were put together and sent casually to his son?

Jian Mei said, “Dad, take a look. Are these the medicinal herbs from the prescription?”

In the end, Jian Shencheng was a professional doctor and knew immediately which prescription Jian Mei was referring to. He verified it instantly and nodded solemnly. “Precisely.”

Jian Mei was overjoyed. He sat down next to his father and said, “Dad, can you help me?” tS7T69

Jian Shencheng thought it was strange for his father to study this prescription all of a sudden, but now he fully understood. His face became serious. “Meimei, do you know what kind of person they are? Why would they let you make the medicine? Are you being used by other people? You…”

Jian Mei said hurriedly, “No…”

He wanted to explain that he took the initiative to treat Dazhuang-ge and wasn’t being used. However, the situation was complicated, so he could only repeat his words. “Dad, believe me. He’s really not a bad person.”

Jian Shencheng looked at his son complicatedly. In the end, he sighed and looked at the herbs in his hands before looking up at his son and saying, “Meimei, you’ve already decided, haven’t you?” TbJqFR

Jian Mei pursed his lips. “Will my decision cause trouble for you, Dad?”

He really cared about his friend, but if making this medicine would be distressful and cause serious trouble to his father, then he couldn’t be selfish and only think of himself.

Jian Shencheng smiled softly and rubbed Jian Mei’s head. “If it’s your friend and you trust him, then I can trust him.”

Jian Mei’s eyes lit up. “Dad, are you really willing to help me?” TjZcx5

Jian Shencheng sighed. “What else can I do? I just said I’ll solve any problem for you; breaking promises isn’t a tradition of the Jian family.”

Jian Mei hugged his father in joy. As he felt the warmth, his restless mind finally relaxed. He said softly, “Thank you, Dad.”

“Thank me for what?” Jian Shencheng patted his back. “Even if it wasn’t your friend, as a doctor, I can’t just watch him die and do nothing.”

As Jian Mei listened to his father, he remembered his father and grandfather’s hardships over the years. He spoke gently but with determination. “Dad, is it hard to be a good doctor?” xmZVt6

Jian Shencheng paused in his movement, then replied, “Any profession is hard, so you should do what you like.”

“Then, can I be a good doctor too?”

“Just do what you think is right and leave no regrets.” Jian Shencheng looked at his child and said softly, “I believe in you.”

Jian Mei said, “I’ll study hard, get into a good medical school and become a good doctor in the future, the kind that’s as great as you, Dad.” OYdgRz

Jian Shencheng, however, wasn’t very happy.

They worked hard all their lives so their children wouldn’t have to live a difficult life. Jian Changjia and Jian Mei didn’t have good childhoods, so they never demanded them to have good grades, so long as their two children could be happy— this was their consensus. If their children could live a healthy life, they’d never ask for anything else.

The next day.

Jian Mei secretly learned how to make a cake. 7vlCTE

Today was Dazhuang-ge’s birthday. He thought that it’d be good to show his good wishes. Making a handmade cake should be more precious than a store-bought cake and there was a sense of ceremony. This time, no one was at home during the day. The hourly housekeeping auntie also didn’t come. He held his phone as he crouched in the kitchen to watch the tutorial. The kitchen was very large and stocked with a lot of ingredients the housekeeping auntie bought, and an oven and other kitchen implements. Jian Mei used to help his grandpa cook when he was in their hometown, so it wasn’t that difficult to start.

However…

The explanation from the video was very simple but difficult to do in reality.

Not to mention other tasks, just kneading the dough was the biggest setback he had encountered in his life. Separating the egg whites and egg yolk wasn’t too bad since there was a tool, but he didn’t know where the electric mixer was. He looked for a long time but he didn’t find it, so he was squatting in the kitchen trying to beat the foam with his hands. Although kneading by hand could work in theory, he couldn’t grasp the proportion and so after putting it inside the oven, the cake that came out was…soft. Ae9FqR

Jian Mei was a bit distressed. “No way.”

It looked so easy when he watched the tutorial. How come he understood it at first glance, but turned out bad when he made it?

He and his father talked till late last night. In order to make a cake, he got up early, but he didn’t want to give up for now, so he started to beat and foam the eggs again. Since the last one might not have been beaten for long enough, this time he sat on a small stool in the kitchen and slowly beat the eggs. Once his hands felt sore, he’d rest for a while and continue to beat. If he was sleepy, he would wash his face with cold water.

The second try didn’t work either, so he saved up his energy and started for the third time. Jian Mei was a bit discouraged halfway through, but when he thought that Dazhuang-ge had bought sweet fruits for him, he thought it wasn’t so difficult to work hard and make a cake for him. Kw2Nzc

“It should be better this time…”

By the third try, the kitchen had been thrown into a mess by Jian Mei. Flour and various batter were all over the table and even Jian Mei himself had become a little flour cat. Since it would take an hour or two to bake a cake, Jian Mei started cleaning up after putting it inside the oven. There was still some time left after cleaning and he was sleepy and tired, but he couldn’t rest at ease so he took scratch paper to practice writing birthday wishes. At first, he did it to divert his attention but unexpectedly, writing just made him more sleepy, so in the end, he couldn’t help but fall asleep.

The person on the sofa was curled up in the corner sleeping while holding a piece of paper. The door outside opened,  someone came in and was surprised upon seeing the child sleeping on the sofa.

The person sighed. “Why are you sleeping here?” lM4dj

The child sleeping on the sofa wasn’t sleeping soundly, but since he was too tired, there were dark circles under his eyes. It was unknown what nightmare he had in his sleep, but his brows were furrowed.

The person picked up a small blanket not far away and covered the child with it. She saw ‘Happy Birthday’ on the paper and flinched. However, before giving it another thought, she saw the child shrank uneasily from the strange feeling of the blanket. Jian Mei’s lashes trembled as if he was crying. The person came close and heard Jian Mei’s heartbreaking murmur. “Mom…”

The person sitting next to him froze.

There seemed to be a helpless sigh drifting out of the person’s mouth as the person placed the paper back by Jian Mei’s side. oFc61T
