Chapter 29: Repayment

  Lin Ruxue was wheeled in on a wheelchair, her face still somewhat pale and haggard from the serious injury she had sustained.

  "Is it really you?" Lin Ruxue heard her colleagues mention this matter, describing the appearance of Wentai and what he said about knowing herself. After thinking about it repeatedly, she could only think of one person who fit the description - Wentai, who had recently left a deep impression on her. But how could he possibly be a doctor with such exceptional medical skills?

  Colleagues said that they were almost gods, if colleagues didn't understand. Even the doctors in the hospital where she lived, for the doctor who rescued her in an emergency, expressed boundless admiration. In such a situation, even if Lin Ruxue was sent to their hospital immediately, they would not be able to do better than this.

  Moreover, the other party is a combination of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and Western surgical techniques, which is not ordinary. As for Lin Ruxue's wound healing speed and recovery speed, it was even more astonishing to them, with one day's time recovering better than others in three or four days. They naturally didn't know that this was some small trick used by Wentai, and could only attribute it to Lin Ruxue's physical constitution.

  Even professionals say so, the other party's medical skills are naturally not to be doubted. As for this person who saved his life and said he knew him, Lin Ruxue couldn't help but want to meet him. Just then, some people came over immediately.

  Looking at Lin Ruxue's surprised expression, Wen Tao remained simple and steady, looking at Lin Ruxue and saying: "Although you're much better now, it's still best not to move around too much, it's not good for the wound to recover."

  The person was right in front of her, and Lin Ruxue silently scolded herself for asking a stupid question. But... Lin Ruxue found it hard to accept that this was the same person she had met at the chess club - that rustic country bumpkin who couldn't even speak properly yet was surprisingly innocent.

  "Are you a doctor?" He's still so young, Lin Ruxue was now filled with doubts and uncertainties in her heart, her eyes staring at Wen Tao without moving, as if she wanted to see through everything about him.

  "Please have some tea!" Yanlin came over and placed the poured tea in front of Lin Ruxue, who was wearing a patient's uniform at this time. Her face was still somewhat pale, but her eyes were still so spirited. Her eyes are really big! However... why is he always looking at Dr. Wen like that, with that kind of gaze? Didn't Dr. Wen say they weren't very familiar with each other?!

  Yanlin, who was standing by, had been excited and thrilled when she saw Lin Ruxue at first, but then she saw Lin Ruxue staring at Wentao and her mind started to wander.

  Wen Tao knew she was here to verify, not to see a doctor, and leaned back in her chair with a relaxed expression: "That's right! Does Officer Lin have any questions?"

  Lin Ruxue only then realized that her question was somewhat impolite, and hastily said: "Oh... it's nothing, I just didn't expect you to be a doctor at such a young age, I thought you were just helping out at your aunt's place."

  Feeling a bit awkward, he hastily added: "I mainly wanted to come and thank you, thanks for saving me."

  "Don't be polite, I'm a doctor, and besides, I didn't charge you less than what's due. Moreover, since you came in such a polite manner, it was also a public-funded treatment, so I didn't ask for less money either." Wentai spoke as simply and directly as ever, with some rustic charm.

  "Hmm..." Wen Tao's direct words made Lin Ruxue laugh softly, it seemed that he was indeed the special person she had known before, and his way of speaking was still so different from others. But she never would have thought that he was actually a doctor, and had even saved her life.

  After laughing, Lin Ruxue still said politely: "In any case, I must thank you, you are now my lifesaver."

  "Oh! So that's how it is, okay, what do you want to thank me for?" Wen Tao didn't like the back-and-forth of this matter, and he liked the hypocritical Wen Tao even less. Moreover, when he thought about Lin Ruxue's embarrassed yet tolerant expression when she was being questioned by him earlier, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

  …………

  Not to mention Lin Ruxue, even the female nurse who pushed her in and Xiao Huliang were stunned. No one expected Wentai to ask such a question, and what's more, he was very serious, sincere and pure.

  Wen Tao saved his own life, and Lin Ruxue naturally felt grateful in her heart. Coming here to thank him was one aspect, and another was curiosity about whether this person was really the simple "him".

  It has now been confirmed that Lin Ruxue never thought that her somewhat polite words would make herself so embarrassed. However, Lin Ruxue is after all Lin Ruxue, and after being stunned for a moment, she immediately spoke in a firm tone: "How do you want me to thank you? If I can do it... as long as it's not too excessive, it's fine!"

  Lin Ruxue originally wanted to say that it was fine whatever she did, but suddenly seeing the little nurse Yanlin staring at her, she suddenly remembered that he was a man and she was a woman, so she hastily added another sentence.

  Wen Tao smiled sincerely and directly: "Officer Lin, rest assured, I won't say anything that would make you feel obligated to me. In this day and age, saying something like that is actually a joke, don't you think?"

  Pfft...... The little nurse and the nurse who pushed Lin Ruxue in couldn't help but burst out laughing, while Lin Ruxue's face also turned bright red. She realized that coming here was her biggest mistake.

  "Hmm..." Wentao thought seriously: "I've already received the consultation fee, but now you're saying you want to thank me separately. According to our Shuxin Clinic's latest regulations, this kind of situation is not allowed. Don't send anything, but after all, we are friends, and it doesn't look good if I don't accept."

  This made Lin Ruxue's heart scream, this is good, very good, why be polite to him, if she had known earlier, she wouldn't have said anything.

  "We're all friends, you want to thank me but I couldn't bear to lose face in front of you. This morning someone even sent over some gifts and a banner. I won't accept the gifts, but the banner is a kind of spiritual wealth that's okay to accept."

  Lin Ruxue heard that and hastily said: "Great! What kind of brocade flag do you want? I'll immediately find someone to have it custom-made for you, how many do you need?"

  If she didn't clarify what had just been said, Lin Ruxue would have felt like she was about to explode.

  Wen Tao waved his hand and said: "You misunderstood me, I didn't say to ask you for the banner. This kind of thing needs others to take the initiative, it can't be asked for by oneself."

  "What do you want?" Lin Ruxue found that now when talking to Wen Tao, she was a little afraid. This person was simply ruthless and would not rest until he had shocked her with his words. What made people most angry was that what he said made you feel uncomfortable, but it was hard for you to get angry, which was the most frustrating thing.

  "My point is, since I've decided to collect spiritual wealth like the brocade flag, there will definitely be more in the future. As you can see here, space is limited, so if Officer Lin wants to thank me, it's better to rent a room for me, preferably close by. Because I'm afraid that in the future, there will be too many brocade flags and no place to put them, so we need to find a place first." Saying this, Wentao pointed at Yanlin: "Our little nurse is a big fan of yours, can you sign an autograph for her later? If it's convenient for you, she also wants to invite you out for dinner. When Jiuyu rents a good house, just hand the key over to her and that'll be fine."

  Lin Ruxue suddenly understood and glanced at Wen Tao: "Self-aggrandizement"

  This guy is really too arrogant, I heard from colleagues that he just opened for a few days and also came from outside. He just opened a small clinic, it's only been a few days, how can he be like this? Ah, no wonder she said several times that he couldn't get off the stage, this person appears humble on the surface but is very arrogant behind... bad... seems like so far I haven't seen it yet.

  Wen Tao shook his head seriously and said: "Officer Lin is wrong, this is not arrogance, it's self-confidence."

  While they were talking, someone pushed the door and came in, holding a huge bouquet of flowers, which blocked the whole person behind. Because Lin Ruxue had just pushed the wheelchair in, the room door was open, and everyone saw that the person was holding a huge bouquet of roses, the bright red roses were even more beautiful under the foil of some small flowers.

  "Hmm..." Lin Ruxue took a look at this and said to Wen Tao, "This is your confidence, Wen Daifu, Rose!!!"

  It's really strange, Wén Tāo also felt a bit weird, he just wanted to tease Lín Rú Xuě earlier and make a small joke. Today, the things sent by Zheng old lady's children were already received after taking the silk banner, and all the others were asked to take back, although they are very confident in the future, even if someone sends something, it wouldn't be roses!!!

  Wen Tao's heart moved slightly as he looked at Yanlin and found that her eyes were showing signs of annoyance, with her small fists clenched tightly, looking very tense.
