Chapter 133: Chapter 133: If You Encounter Someone You Like

Tang Wenrou’s usually serene face also held a rare hint of a smile, since Lu Jianfeng had awakened within the time frame Fang Bai had mentioned, which was the result she most hoped to see.

At this time, Ren Ping, the chief of the emergency room, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and had no mind for work, staying in his office pondering how to survive this crisis.

After much thought, he decided to bite the bullet and seek Fang Bai’s mercy, but upon arriving at the room where Fang Bai was resting, he was blocked by two bodyguards, who, no matter what, simply wouldn’t let him enter.

The next morning, having hardly slept, Ren Ping, the distraught chief of the emergency room, was reassigned to a trivial position in the hospital’s logistics department.

However, at this time, no one paid any attention to Ren Ping’s fate, as the entire hospital’s focus was on Fang Bai.

After a night of recuperation, Fang Bai emerged from the sickroom refreshed and invigorated as the early morning sun rose.

When he arrived at Lu Jianfeng’s intensive care unit, he found Tang Wenrou speaking softly with Lu Xingping and his wife, Li Yujie.

The three of them looked exhausted, clearly having had little rest throughout the night.

Fang Bai’s ears twitched slightly, aware that Lu Jianfeng inside the intensive care unit was still asleep, his heartbeat was strong, and his breath steady, indicating a good recovery throughout the night.

"Fang Bai, you’re up?"

"Doctor Fang, hello."

Tang Wenrou, Lu Xingping, and his wife Li Yujie stopped talking and approached Fang Bai when they saw him coming.

Fang Bai nodded to Tang Wenrou, shook hands with Lu Xingping and his wife Li Yujie, exchanged pleasantries, and casually asked, "How is young master Lu now?"

"He woke up once last night, didn’t say much, and then fell back asleep. He hasn’t awakened yet."

Li Yujie rushed to answer, her gaze full of gratitude as she looked at Fang Bai.

Last night, preoccupied with her younger son’s injuries, Li Yujie, although noticing Fang Bai’s strong resemblance to her deceased elder son, hadn’t scrutinized him closely. Now, seeing Fang Bai again, she realized he and her elder son could have been twins.

Remembering her late son Lu Jianfei’s life, Li Yujie’s eyes began to well up, and her expression involuntarily softened with affection.

Fang Bai knew he greatly resembled Li Yujie’s late son. Seeing her peculiar expression and gaze, he knew she was transferring her feelings of love and smiled at her.

When Li Yujie saw his smile, she felt he resembled her elder son even more and developed an inexplicable sense of closeness to Fang Bai, asking, "I heard from Wen Rou that you’re from Zhongzhou? What does your family do?"

"Ms. Li..."

"You’re Wen Rou’s friend, and she calls me Aunt. You can call me that too."

Li Yujie’s words instantly narrowed the distance between the two.

Without being over-formal, Fang Bai called her "Aunt Li" and said, "I have my parents and an elder sister at home."

Li Yujie said, "You once saved Wen Rou’s life, and now you’ve saved Jianfeng; you’re a benefactor to both the Tang and Lu families. Jianfeng adores making friends. Once he recovers, you should keep in touch, I’m sure you can become good friends."

Fang Bai nodded and agreed.

Tang Wenrou said, "Fang Bai, we’re friends, aren’t we? Why didn’t you tell me your family opened a Chinese medicine clinic? Otherwise, I would have made time to attend your opening ceremony and brought you a congratulatory gift!"

Her tone carried a hint of reproach, something she didn’t perceive herself, but others could hear it clearly.

Li Yujie and her husband Lu Xingping exchanged a look, their expressions somewhat strange.

Fang Bai scratched his head and said, "Our family runs a Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic very discreetly, how did you find out about it?"

Tang Wenrou pursed her plump, delicate lips and said, "The head of the Hua Family from Rejuvenation Hall, Hua Chun, and the Su Family’s heir apparent, Su Yifei, both personally went to offer their congratulations. Does that sound low-key to you? Now practically everyone in Zhongzhou City knows about your ’Fang’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic’. I’ve even made a special trip there to see it."

"And what do you think of our clinic?"

"Not bad. Your dad doesn’t talk much, he’s an honest man. Your mom, on the other hand, is quite enthusiastic. When I told her I was your friend, she took my hand and bombarded me with questions non-stop. If I hadn’t made the excuse of having work to leave, she would probably have insisted I stay for lunch."

Fang Bai laughed and said, "My mom has always been like that, a bit too enthusiastic with relatives and friends. By the way, what brings you to Yanjing?"

"I’ve been transferred to work at the Yanjing Police Station."

"You had a good position at the Zhongzhou Police Station, why did you transfer here?"

"Because... I’ve more or less dealt with the cases in Zhongzhou, and staying in one place for too long can get tiresome, so I wanted to change my work environment and adjust my mood."

"The real reason is that you don’t want Shen Huanian to harass you anymore, right?"

Upon hearing Fang Bai mention Shen Huanian, Tang Wenrou’s expression instantly turned cold.

Lu Xingping seemed to know about Shen Huanian, and interjected, "Wen Rou, your parents mentioned last time that you had interactions with that Shen Family kid? How has that progressed?"

Tang Wenrou looked visibly irritated, frowning, she said, "Uncle Lu, I don’t want to talk about that person."

"What happened?"

Seeing Tang Wenrou’s expression, Lu Xingping seemed to understand something and chuckled apologetically, "Did you two have a falling out? It’s normal for young people to have quarrels occasionally..."

Tang Wenrou cast a quick glance at Fang Bai, then said with a serious face, "Uncle Lu, I have no interest in Shen Huanian whatsoever. While I was working at the Zhongzhou Police Station, he used to harass me frequently. If it weren’t for the fact that our families have been friends for generations, I would’ve beaten him up long ago!"

"I think the Shen Family kid isn’t bad!"

Lu Xingping sighed and said, "But since you don’t like him, let’s drop it. Wen Rou, I know you are someone who values ties and righteousness, and you can’t forget Jianfei in a short time, but Jianfei has been gone for over a year now, and you should also step out of the shadow of sorrow..."

At this point, he glanced meaningfully at Fang Bai and added, "If you meet someone you like, just go for it! Your Aunt Li and I treat you like our own daughter, and we will support you unconditionally in whatever you do!"

Tang Wenrou shook her head and said, "Right now, my focus is on my work, I’m not considering other matters."

Just then, a faint call for help emerged from inside the intensive care unit; Fang Bai heard it first and immediately pushed the door open to enter.

Lu Xingping, Li Yujie, and Tang Wenrou followed behind.

After a night’s sleep, Lu Jianfeng had just awakened. He looked much better than when he had awakened the day before. Seeing his parents come in, he moved his lips and even managed a slight smile.

Lu Jianfeng’s current state was like a dry tree in spring, sprouting tender green shoots and bursting with new vitality.
