Chapter 179: Chapter 179: The Future is Long

"Great news."

Cheng Hao’s voice arrived before he did.

Ji Ying, Zhou He, and Wu Meili, all three of them turned toward the factory gate. Xu Nianji was in the warehouse, arranging the chili sauce he had finished into the warehouse. Hearing the sound, he also hurriedly ran out.

Cheng Hao ran in lightly, and from the smile on his lips, you could tell he was bearing good news.

"All the chili sauce sold out!" Cheng Hao announced excitedly.

On his way there, he had been thinking about how to deliver the good news. Should he pretend at first that it hadn’t sold out, then reveal that it had?

Or should he just say it sold out straight away?

Who knew, once he arrived at the factory, Cheng Hao simply couldn’t hold back. With such great news, he wished he could have shared it the moment he learned it.

"Really?"

Ji Ying always found it unbelievable, as if she were dreaming.

"Of course, it’s true." Cheng Hao repeated how he had sold the chili sauce, and Ji Ying finally believed that it was indeed real.

"That’s wonderful."

Ji Ying was so excited she didn’t even know what else to say.

Ling Dong, pushing Pei Yicheng at the factory gate, didn’t rush in. If he went in, he feared the exciting atmosphere would instantly disappear.

"Brother Cheng."

Ling Dong only felt regret. He should have insisted on seeking doctors everywhere, regardless of Pei Yicheng’s desire to stay quietly in the county.

"You’re back?"

Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianhua had finished their classes a bit early since today was Saturday. They happened upon Pei Yicheng at the gate and, though separated by a wall, they could hear the laughter of their mother, sister-in-law, and older brother, which must mean the chili sauce had sold very well.

Xu Nianhua’s gaze fell on his leg and he instantly understood that the trip to South City to treat his leg had likely been unsuccessful.

"Brother Cheng, what did the doctors say?" Xu Nian’an asked concerningly.

Ling Dong’s expression darkened, thinking about what to say.

However, Pei Yicheng himself answered lightly, "This leg of mine still needs to seek another famed doctor."

Xu Nian’an was quick to realize the failure of this medical quest and opened his mouth to comfort, "Right, we’ll find another famous doctor."

Xu Nianhua stood by, listening to Pei Yicheng’s relaxed tone. Her eyes rested on his handsome face. Even though she had not seen any sign of unhappiness, she still felt a sense of suffocation deep inside; he was clearly in pain, yet he pretended it didn’t matter.

"Brother Cheng, time is on our side. With the vast population of China, there must be some hidden famed doctors waiting for us to find them. Moreover, medical skills are constantly advancing; eventually, everything can be cured," Xu Nianhua stepped forward and comforted him one word at a time.

"Right," Pei Yicheng looked up, catching her gaze and replied, "Time is on our side."

Though his words were a response to Xu Nianhua, Xu Nian’an felt like they held another meaning.

But what else could they mean?

Xu Nian’an thought and thought and decided he was probably overthinking it.

Inside the food factory, as Ji Ying and the others had just received the good news about the chili sauce selling out, they heard that Pei Yicheng’s leg couldn’t be cured, and their mood instantly turned heavy. Everyone started comforting Pei Yicheng all at once.

Pei Yicheng said lightly, "It’s okay, it’s only been half a year for this leg of mine, I’m not worried about it this time or the next. Later on, we can consult more doctors and it’ll be alright."

"The trip to South City wasn’t in vain either; the chili sauce sold out, earning a total of eight thousand seven hundred fifty yuan," Pei Yicheng changed the subject.
