Perfect Life [Rebirth]

Chapter 9

As he was walking, his eyes lit up. It was an old man with white hair and a vigorous look walking briskly under the tree-lined avenue in front of him. There was also a young and fashionable pretty girl following him. Ye Qing hurriedly quickened his pace:

"Teacher Zheng..."

Zheng Siming turned around and saw Ye Qing running over. He was stunned at first, but soon recognized who he was and said in surprise:

"Ah, Ye Qing, why have you lost so much weight!"

It’s not that Zheng Siming wanted Ye Qing to gain weight. In fact, Zheng Siming had tactfully advised her to go to the hospital. After all, she was a tall, thin and pretty girl in high school. How come she became so fat after only two years in college? Zheng Siming felt that something was wrong with Ye Qing, so he kindly reminded her to go to the hospital for a check-up.

But I never expected that Ye Qing had lost so much weight in just such a short time.

"You've lost so much weight?" The girl next to him twitched her lips. She thought to herself, "I'm so fat, but the teacher still said I'm thin. How fat I must have been before that?" It took her a while to react. Her eyes widened. "Ye Qing, are you Ye Qing?"

Zheng Siming then realized that his words seemed to be somewhat ambiguous, and said with a smile:

"Isn't she Ye Qing?"

Then he said to Ye Qing:

"Cheng Luran, do you remember? In the first year of high school, you were the math class representative and she was the Chinese class representative. Now you are studying at Zhongdu University."

"Let me get to know you." Cheng Lu Ran felt a little embarrassed when she realized her own gaffe. Besides, she was extremely surprised.

Although Cheng Luran and Ye Qing have only been classmates for one year, it doesn’t mean that she can’t remember Ye Qing.

After all, Ye Qing was the recognized school belle at that time, and there were countless boys who liked Ye Qing openly or secretly.

Besides, Ye Qing was a good student, and Zheng Luran at that time also envied this girl.

Because of this, Ye Qing almost became the public enemy of the whole school. In order to avoid being a supporting role, girls generally didn't want to get close to her.

But in the limited few contacts, Cheng Luran still realized that Ye Qing had a good personality, just a little introverted.

I heard that her biological parents didn't want her and threw her into a mountain village when she was very young. Her adoptive father was old and her family was extremely poor. If Ye Qing hadn't missed a few months because she couldn't afford the tuition, her grades wouldn't have fallen behind. In the end, she could only go to Zhongdu Medical College...

But I never dreamed that in just a few years, Ye Qing would become like this. They say time is a butcher's knife, but this knife is too sharp, isn't it?

I don’t know what those boys who pursued Ye Qing back then would think when they saw Ye Qing at this moment.

Cheng Luran also came to say goodbye to Zheng Siming. Since Teacher Zheng had another guest, it was a good opportunity to say goodbye.

Before leaving, he smiled and said to Ye Qing:

"I have booked a ticket for tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. Have you booked yours? Besides me, there are several other high school classmates from our old class. Otherwise, let's go to Zhongdu together."

"I'll leave soon." Ye Qing rejected Cheng Luran's kindness.

Cheng Luran nodded, but believed that Ye Qing was just making an excuse.

Come to think of it, if I became like this, I wouldn’t have the face to see my old classmates again.

I walked along the way with emotion...

This person's fate is really...

She checked her phone and found the photo she had taken with Ye Qing and Zheng Siming. She wanted to post it on her high school circle of friends, but was worried that others would say she was not kind. Finally, she opened the school forum of Zhongdu University and posted a group photo before the first grade class division. Then she posted the previous photo with a slightly blurred look on it, and casually made up a title "Time is a butcher's knife" and put it on.

When we were in the first year of high school, the students in the class were still young and immature. But because of the beauty Ye Qing, the buildings below were getting higher and higher. Everyone was flattering her with words like "goddess", "natural beauty", "full of collagen", "when your hair grows to your waist, I will marry you..."

They all speculated that the girl with a charming figure in the photo behind must be the beautiful girl from before.

When Cheng Luran told him that the fat man in the photo and the beautiful woman in the photo were the same person, there was a sudden wailing from the fans. As more and more people clicked on the post, it became a hot post at Zhongdu University.

Cheng Luran didn't expect that just posting two photos would have such a big impact. She suddenly felt guilty and quickly logged out of her account.

On second thought, Ye Qing is actually studying at Zhongdu Medical College. The two universities are not too close to each other, and Ye Qing is not a person who likes surfing the Internet, so he shouldn't cause any trouble...

Ye Qing is taking Zheng Siming's pulse at this moment.

Having been a teacher for his whole life, Zheng Siming can be considered a weak scholar. Now that he is old, he has not had any serious illnesses, but he has been suffering from minor illnesses all the time. He has been hospitalized many times this year. Because his children live far away, he and his wife have been suffering a lot.

The last time Ye Qing came, after taking his pulse, he went back and personally collected herbs, boiled them, divided them into small bags, and asked someone to deliver them to him.

Zheng Siming was proud of teaching all his life. Now that he is old, what he is most proud of is not how successful he is, but how sensible the students he once taught are.

After receiving the Chinese medicine soup that Ye Qing had someone bring over, even though his wife tried to stop him by saying things like "all medicines are poisonous", "what Chinese medicine, haven't you seen it on TV, they're all scams...", "haven't there been enough deaths from taking it?"...

Still following what Ye Qing wrote on the note, drink it three times a day.

Who knew that it would work on the first day after drinking it...

Zheng Siming has an old problem of neurasthenia. He used to have headaches, but now he has headaches and insomnia. Elderly people usually sleep less, and when it comes to Zheng Siming, he can't sleep for nights.

But that night after drinking the medicine, Zheng Siming actually slept through the night.

Not to mention Zheng Siming, even his wife who had already called his son and asked him to come back to persuade him was dumbfounded.

Not only did he call to stop his son from coming back, he also acted as a supervisor and watched Zheng Siming take medicine every day.

After taking the medicine, Zheng Siming could feel that all his energy and spirit had returned.

I told my wife about it, but she was still a little skeptical, so we went to the hospital for a physical examination. When we got the results, my wife was shocked...

It was only two months since the last checkup. The two of them still had the checkup report. They hurriedly took it out to compare. They were even more dumbfounded. Zheng Siming's health was not up to standard. He had high blood lipids, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and so on. But this time, he was healthy in every item. The doctor even said that he was 70 years old, but his blood vessels were 50 years old...

Although Zheng Siming's wife was very happy, she still thought that this change was too big. Could it be that they made a mistake? Was it actually that the machine in this hospital was broken? She and Zheng Siming simply changed hospitals. After getting the same result, she finally believed it.

He simply regarded Ye Qing as the reincarnation of Hua Tuo or Bian Que, and was extremely grateful.

"Is our Mr. Zheng in good health?" Zheng Siming's wife's surname is Yang, and she is also a teacher at the school.

He waited until Ye Qing withdrew his hand before he dared to ask.

It is said that young couples will accompany each other in old age, and old couples will love each other all their lives. No matter who is sick or in pain, the other will be worried about something.

It just so happened that Zheng Siming had to be hospitalized every once in a while, and Teacher Yang was always worried.

"Don't worry, Master's wife," Ye Qing smiled, "From now on, the teacher can accompany you to dance square dance every day."

"Really?" Teacher Yang was delighted. "Oh, Qingqing, how can I thank you? You are much better than my kid..."

Teacher Zheng has only one son, who works in another city. He is a filial son, but he lives far away and cannot be with his father in a short time.

Ye Qing, on the other hand, comes four or five times every year, and is really no worse than my own daughter.

Zheng Siming was also full of emotion. How could he say that Ye Qing was a good kid? He just helped him out back then, and even paid back all the money he had paid in bits and pieces.

But I still remember those things that happened back then.

This child has the demeanor of a gentleman.

"You two can talk first. I'll go cook some dishes. I just bought some fish, so I'll cook it while it's fresh..."

Teacher Yang said as she went to the kitchen.

Ye Qing hurriedly stopped him:

"Teacher Yang, please stop busying yourself. I have to go now."

"Why are you walking? You are not allowed to go anywhere." Teacher Yang scolded, "You will stay at my house today."

Ye Qing quickly took Teacher Yang's arm:

"It's not that I want to be polite to the teacher, I just really need to take a ride with someone else. We've already agreed. Otherwise, I would have stayed here even without the teacher telling me."

After hearing what Ye Qing said, the two old men didn't want to stay any longer, so they quickly turned around and got a thick quilt:

"I made this especially for you. It's all new cotton. Zhongdu is extremely cold in the winter. You should take it quickly."

"If you have any trouble, just look for your brother Zheng Zhuo..."

Zheng Zhuo is the couple’s son and also works in Zhongdu.

The two of them kept giving instructions all the way downstairs and watched Ye Qing leave, still reluctant to go back.

"This child is very filial." Zheng Siming said with emotion.

"That's right, my life is just too hard." Teacher Yang's eyes were a little sore...

The biological parents don't want him, and the adoptive father has also left. Won't this child be left alone and helpless?

"Let's love her more." Zheng Siming said.

"You don't need me to tell you." Teacher Yang rolled his eyes at his wife. "What do you think Qingqing's parents are thinking? How could they be willing to give up such a good daughter?"

Not many people knew that Ye Qing was taken away by mistake. The "real parents" the two people mentioned were naturally Ye Changhai and his wife.

Because Zhou Qingfu had never concealed Ye Qing's background, the neighbors and teachers at school all knew that Ye Qing was a poor child.

When Zhou Qingfu was seriously ill and Ye Qing was in trouble and almost dropped out of school, Zheng Siming went to the Ye family and wanted Ye Changhai to take the responsibility of supporting Ye Qing, but Ye Changhai drove him out and even said something unreasonable like "What does Ye Qing's life or death have to do with me? If you feel sorry for her, why don't you just support her yourself?"
