"Deduct two points, afraid you might get too proud later on."

Zhao Tienan pinched Cao Lei's fair, bouncy cheek with a mischievous smile.

"Hmph, bad guy!"

Cao Lei pouted, then as if suddenly remembering something, her eyes lit up: "Oh right, Mr. Zhao, have you visited Xin since you came back?"

"No, why?"

Zhao Tienan frowned. Ever since he came back, he was called away by Feng Laonian and didn't have time to visit anyone else.

"Not much, it's just that she likes you a lot and must be missing you terribly these days."

"Mr. Zhao, why don't we call her over tonight, and the two of us can sleep with you?"

Cao Lei suddenly leaned into Zhao Tienan, whispering softly into his ear.

Together?

Three people?

Zhao Tienan's heart skipped a beat, imagining the two completely different beauties lying in front of him, ready to be picked. His blood began to surge.

"Uh, maybe not tonight."

"I just got back today, and I'm pretty exhausted. You just wore me out earlier; let's do it some other time."

Although Zhao Tienan was eager for such an unconventional event, he realized that after today's exertions, he might not perform well and risk embarrassment in front of the two young ladies.

"Alright, I'll contact Xin another day then."

Cao Lei nodded, and seeing her slightly disappointed expression, Zhao Tienan couldn't help but chuckle.

He never thought that Cao Lei would be such an open-minded girl, and she especially liked sharing with her girlfriends.

She truly is extraordinary!

Afterwards, the two of them sat together and had a lavish dinner.

Of course, Zhao Tienan was the one who cooked. Spoiled Cao Lei seemed to have invested all her talents in looking beautiful, her cooking skills were absolutely dismal.

"Mr. Zhao, thanks for the meal. I'm going to freshen up and then go to bed. Goodnight..."

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Cao Lei hopped away, without the slightest intention of washing the dishes.

Zhao Tienan could only shake his head helplessly.

The next morning, after prescribing medicine for a few patients, Zhao Tienan took Cao Lei to the village chief's home to check on the chief's health.

"Doctor Zhao, you're finally back. Are you done with your matters? Is your father okay?"

The village chief greeted Zhao Tienan with a warm smile the moment he saw him.

But his face looked much worse than before, his eyes were dull, and even his cheeks were sunken.

"My father's not in any serious condition, he just needs some rest to recover. But your condition worries me..."

Zhao Tienan pressed the chief's pulse, speaking with a furrowed brow.

"It's okay, just tell me what illness I have. I've had stomach pain for so long, I'm already prepared for anything."

The chief pursed his lips, but his eyes remained determined.

"Chronic atrophic gastritis, and it's quite severe. If it continues, there's a risk it could lead to cancer."

Zhao Tienan withdrew his fingers and stated truthfully.

"So that means I don't have cancer yet, right?"

"Then it's fine, I've just been busy handling village matters these past few years, neglecting my stomach."

The chief laughed self-deprecatingly, but his laughter sounded somewhat sorrowful.
