After Huang San and his gang had completely left, Wang Zhongling also emerged from the back.
"Yo, I didn't expect this, Du Fei. Not only can you cure people, but you also know Chinese martial arts."
As Wang Zhongling scrutinized him, Du Fei lost his usual composure and rubbed his nose, "I just practiced it myself."
Wang Zhongling intended to ask more questions, but someone entered, forcing her to stop.
After Du Fei had saved the person who jumped from the building, people finally started to come in for him to treat their ailments.
What's more, once these people came, they discovered that Du Fei's medical skills were indeed extraordinary. A single dose of his medicine could cure any illness. Subsequently, they began recommending Du Fei to those around them.
"Du Fei, my grandfather said he wants you to come over for dinner tonight. Are you willing to grace us with your presence?"
As it was nearing closing time, Wang Zhongling seized the opportunity while fetching medicine to approach Du Fei and ask.
Du Fei replied apologetically, "Today happens to be my sister's birthday. I promised to take her out for dinner. Perhaps another day. I will definitely pay a personal visit to Elder Wang another day."
"Oh, then I'll go back and tell my grandfather."
Since it was his sister's birthday, it was natural to dine with family. Wang Zhongling nodded.
...
"Little sister, it's about time. We should get going, or we won't get a good table if we're late."
Du Fei returned home, his mother had already prepared, but Du Yunyun had not come out of her room.
If it were a few years ago, Du Fei might have gone in to see what she was doing. But now, Du Yunyun was growing up, and being a girl, she needed her own space and privacy.
"Coming, coming! You're always rushing me. It's my birthday today."
"Mom, brother, does this dress look good on me?"
Du Yunyun emerged from her room, wearing a white dress and red leather shoes. She looked youthful and vibrant, her face full of collagen, like a flower about to bloom.
"Beautiful, our little princess is the prettiest in the world."
Du Fei spared no praise.
Wu Chunmei held her daughter's hand, scrutinizing her with a smile that never faded.
The family of three left the house, with Du Fei opening the car doors for his mother and sister.
Wu Chunmei got into the car, but Du Yunyun stood by the car, peering out.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you today? You were hiding in your room earlier, like you were on the phone, and now you won't get in the car. What are you up to?"
Du Fei had faintly heard Du Yunyun on the phone in her room.
However, his sister was growing up, and he assumed she was chatting with her classmates, so he didn't ask further.
But now, Du Yunyun was by the car and wouldn't get in, making Du Fei feel something was amiss.
"Oh, brother, just wait two minutes."
Du Yunyun held Du Fei's hand and pouted.
Faced with his sister's tactics, Du Fei was naturally powerless.
Less than ten minutes later, a white BMW drove over.
When the white BMW stopped, the door opened, and Liu Shishi alighted.
"Sister Shishi, you're finally here."
Upon seeing Liu Shishi, Du Yunyun immediately cheered and rushed over.
Liu Shishi hugged Du Yunyun tightly as she reached her.
One petite and one tall, both beautiful women, drawing the attention of passersby.
"I was wondering why this little girl was acting a bit strange today. So she was waiting for you. You've been stretching your neck like a giraffe standing here."
Du Fei was slightly surprised by Liu Shishi's appearance, then teased Du Yunyun as Liu Shishi approached, "I knew this little girl was acting strange today. She was waiting for you. You've been stretching your neck like a giraffe standing here."
Du Yunyun playfully punched Du Fei, who pretended not to see.
Wu Chunmei also greeted Liu Shishi.
"Alright, now that your Sister Shishi is here, can we go?"
Du Fei looked at Du Yunyun.
Du Yunyun nodded and commanded like a little princess, "Okay, let's go."
Du Fei shook his head helplessly.
The four of them drove to the pre-booked restaurant.
After entering the private room, Du Fei told the waiter they could start serving the dishes.
When the waiter had served the dishes, Du Fei said he had something to attend to outside.
Then, less than two minutes later, Du Fei pushed a cart carrying a birthday cake with lit candles.
"Brother!"
Du Yunyun gasped in surprise and stood up upon seeing Du Fei pushing the birthday cake.
"Happy birthday, little sister. Come make a wish."
Du Fei placed the cake on the table in front of Du Yunyun.
Du Yunyun was somewhat emotional but slowly closed her eyes, interlacing her fingers and placing them on her forehead.
After a moment, Du Yunyun opened her eyes.
"Come, blow out the candles."
"Whoosh!"
After blowing out the candles, Du Fei intended to remove them and cut the cake.
However, Du Yunyun stopped him.
"What is it?"
Du Fei looked up at Du Yunyun.
Du Yunyun pouted, "Brother, it's my birthday, and you didn't even prepare a birthday gift, did you?"
"Yunyun, don't be like that. Look, your brother booked the restaurant and prepared a birthday cake for you. Why are you asking for a gift now?"
Wu Chunmei gently chided from the side.
Du Fei smiled, "How could I forget our little princess's gift? Ta-da! The gift is here!"
He casually took out a beautifully wrapped long gift box from under the cart.
Du Yunyun grinned, "I knew my brother treated me the best."
She then took the gift box and began to unwrap it.
"Ah, why is it a pen?"
Du Yunyun opened the gift box and saw a beautiful fountain pen inside, a slight disappointment evident on her face.
Du Fei smiled, "Didn't you say before that your current pen wasn't very smooth? I specially bought you a good one. What do you think, isn't it thoughtful?"
"Yes, yes, it's very thoughtful."
Although Du Yunyun was a little disappointed, she thanked Du Fei.
At this moment, Liu Shishi, standing nearby, also took out a long gift box and said, "Here, Yunyun, this is the gift I prepared for you."
"Miss Liu, you shouldn't have."
"It's enough that you came to dinner. No need to prepare gifts."
Both Wu Chunmei and Du Fei were surprised that Liu Shishi had also prepared a gift.
As for Du Yunyun, seeing another long gift box, she took it but didn't open it immediately.
"Don't worry, my gift isn't a pen. I think you'll like it."
Liu Shishi, seeing through Du Yunyun's thoughts, spoke up.
Her mind being read, Du Yunyun gave an embarrassed chuckle.
Then, she slowly unwrapped the gift box. As she lifted the lid, she found a silver swan pendant. She immediately exclaimed with excitement.
"Here, let me put it on for you to try."
Liu Shishi beckoned Du Yunyun over.
Du Yunyun happily held the pendant and lowered her head, allowing Liu Shishi to put it on.
After wearing the pendant, Du Yunyun was smitten and kept looking down at it.
She then looked up at Liu Shishi and asked, "How is it, Sister Shishi? Does it look good on me?"
"It looks good. Yunyun looks especially beautiful wearing it."
With Liu Shishi's compliment, Du Yunyun was overjoyed.
"Hmph, brother, next time it's my birthday, you need to learn from Sister Shishi and give a thoughtful gift."
After admiring the pendant, Du Yunyun playfully pouted at Du Fei and huffed.
"Alright, alright, my little princess, can we eat now?"
Du Fei first shrugged at Liu Shishi, then feigned a wronged expression.
For a moment, everyone in the private room was amused by his demeanor.
The rest of the meal was punctuated by bursts of laughter.
