I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1373 - 1372: A Chance Encounter

"Mm! Big Brother, don’t worry, my sister and I will definitely study hard! When we grow up, we’ll surely repay your kindness!" Nannan said seriously, looking up.

"Mm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded with a smile.

"Big Brother, let’s pinky promise!" Nannan said earnestly.

"Alright! Let’s pinky promise." Zhang Xiaohao laughed.

He extended his little finger and hooked it with Nannan’s, then their thumbs pressed together like a seal.

"Pinky promise; hang it up, no changes for a hundred years!" Nannan declared.

"Big Brother, I want to pinky promise with you too!" Lele chimed in.

"Alright, let’s pinky promise too," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

He pinky promised with Lele as well.

"Alright, you two must listen to Principal Qian at school and study hard, alright?" Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Mm!" Nannan and Lele nodded emphatically.

Having explained everything, Zhang Xiaohao turned and walked towards the door.

Just as Zhang Xiaohao was about to disappear through the doorway, the voices of Nannan and Lele rang out.

"Big Brother, you must come to see us often!"

"Mm! I will," Zhang Xiaohao promised solemnly.

His heart felt warm; it had been a long time since he’d felt this way.

After leaving the office and descending the teaching building, Zhang Xiaohao glanced up at the sky.

With this delay, the day had slipped away, and in about half an hour, it would be dark.

Thinking for a moment, Zhang Xiaohao decided to visit Li Jingru to check on the guy who kept pestering her and, incidentally, resolve the trouble.

Leaving the campus, Zhang Xiaohao walked towards Li Jingru’s neighborhood with his hands in his pockets.

Passing by a flower shop, Zhang Xiaohao paused.

"Sir, we have the freshest flowers here. What kind of flowers would you like?" a beautiful lady boss emerged from the store.

"Do you have fresh red roses?" Zhang Xiaohao inquired.

"Yes! How many would you like? If you want a lot, I can give you a discount, at 10% off!" the beautiful lady boss replied with a smile.

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine roses!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Ah! You want so many? But I don’t see your car! Even if you drove here, you couldn’t fit that many in your car! Besides, I only have a little over a hundred fresh red roses in the shop," the lady boss admitted, a bit embarrassed.

"Then give me ninety-nine roses, and wrap them nicely, please," Zhang Xiaohao smiled.

"Sure, please have a seat inside while I wrap them for you," the lady boss offered.

Inside the store, the lady boss served Zhang Xiaohao a cup of tea and started wrapping the roses.

Half an hour later.

Ninety-nine red roses were beautifully wrapped, emitting a rich fragrance.

"Sir, the red roses are ready. Each is 38 yuan, so 99 totals 3762 yuan. With a 10% discount, it’s 3385. Let’s call it 3380," she said with a smile.

"Alright." Zhang Xiaohao responded.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out ten thousand yuan, took out thirty-four notes, and placed them on the table.

"Here’s three thousand four; keep the change. The wrapping is lovely, I like it a lot," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

He picked up the bouquet of red roses and walked out.

"Take care, sir. Come again soon," the lady boss’s sweet voice called from behind.

After leaving the flower shop, Zhang Xiaohao walked to an empty spot by the roadside, flipped his palm, and stored away the bouquet of ninety-nine fresh red roses.

Then, he headed towards Li Jingru’s neighborhood.

Ten minutes later.

Zhang Xiaohao stood outside Li Jingru’s neighborhood, seeing her floor across several buildings.

"It’s been a while since I’ve seen them. I wonder how they’re doing," Zhang Xiaohao mused with a wry smile.

Remembering Tangtang’s sweet, sunflower-like smile brought a knowing grin to his face.

"I’ve got an idea!" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes lit up.

Finding a bench by the side, he sat down, flipped his hand, and took out a piece of fragrant golden spiritual wood. Aligning two fingers like a sword, he started carving swiftly.

Soon, the piece of wood, nearly a meter high, spun quickly as Zhang Xiaohao worked on it.

Ten minutes later.

The fragrant golden spiritual wood disappeared, replaced by a mini-figurine.

The figurine was none other than Tangtang, with two little ponytails, delicate features, lively and charming, dressed in a sky-blue princess dress with an elegant aura.

Just then, a flashy luxury car dashed past Zhang Xiaohao, its window open, and a half-burned cigarette butt flew towards him.

"Get lost!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.

The cigarette butt arced beautifully and landed precisely in the exhaust pipe of the luxury car.

Moments later, the luxury car vanished from sight.

The sudden appearance of the luxury car hadn’t disturbed Zhang Xiaohao’s good mood.

Looking at the miniature Tangtang in his hand, Zhang Xiaohao channeled the Shennong True Qi into the fragrant golden spiritual wood.

With the powerful Shennong True Qi infusing it, the wood glowed with a layer of golden light, exuding a mysterious charm as if it had aged a hundred years.

"Perfect! Finally done." Zhang Xiaohao nodded with satisfaction.

He stored the finished carving and headed towards Li Jingru’s home.

Minutes later, Zhang Xiaohao stopped at Li Jingru’s door.

Knock, knock!

Zhang Xiaohao knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" a familiar voice called from inside the living room.

"Huh? That’s Ning’er’s voice? What’s she doing here?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered suspiciously.

"It’s the food delivery!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Food delivery? You must have the wrong place; we didn’t order any!" Ning’er’s sweet voice replied again.

Just after speaking, Ning’er realized something was off. Why would there be a delivery this late? And that voice was so familiar! With excitement, Ning’er dashed to the door.

Click!

When the door opened, the familiar face she yearned to see appeared before her.

"Brother Xiaohao, I’ve missed you!" Ning’er exclaimed excitedly.

She rushed into Zhang Xiaohao’s arms.

"Ning’er, I missed you too!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a laugh.

He hugged Ning’er warmly in the doorway.

"Ah! Big Brother, Tangtang missed you a lot! Auntie missed you too!" At that moment, Tangtang’s sweet, childish voice echoed from the living room.
