Lin Hao

The next day, golden sunlight filtered through the thin cloud layer, scattering across the earth like strands of golden thread, bringing a touch of warmth and brightness.

Li Dahai and Li Si arrived at Old Master Wang's house early in the morning.

Li Dahai's car was packed full of gifts — all kinds of nutritional supplements, fruit gift boxes, tea, everything you could think of.

Li Dahai carefully carried the gifts down from the car one by one. After all, Lin Hao's father had disregarded his own life to save Li Dahai. Lin Hao had also lived in Li Dahai's home for over a decade; in Li Dahai's heart, he already counted as half a son. Now that Lin Hao had become Old Master Wang's disciple, this was a major event, and Li Dahai naturally had to make a proper show of it, not letting him be slighted.

Arriving at the doorway, Li Dahai straightened his clothes, then knocked lightly on the door.

Old Master Wang opened the door, and seeing so many gifts, he was slightly stunned, then said, "Oh my, what are you doing? Why buy so many things?"

Li Dahai hurriedly said, "Old Master Wang, this is a token of my appreciation. Lin Hao lived in my home for so many years, and now he has become your disciple; as an elder, I naturally must express my gratitude."

While saying this, Li Dahai also wanted to see the situation at the old master's house. Although he was Cheng Pengfei's classmate's father, he couldn't just hand the child over casually; Li Dahai had to understand things clearly to set his mind at ease.

Old Master Wang smiled and said, "You, this child Lin Hao has talent and works hard; I like him very much. Rest assured, I will teach him well."

Li Dahai let out a breath of relief and said, "That's good, that's good. In the future, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of Lin Hao. This child has been sensible since childhood, and I also hope he can have a good future."

Old Master Wang nodded and said, "That is natural. Since I have accepted him as a disciple, I will certainly devote my whole heart and effort to teaching him.

Li Dahai, Li Si, and Lin Hao ate lunch together at Old Master Wang's house at noon. The table was full of sumptuous dishes emitting an enticing aroma. Originally Lin Hao wanted to cook, but Old Master Wang refused, saying he would taste Lin Hao's culinary skills another time.

Old Master Wang looked at the three people with a smile and said, "Come, eat more. Today's meal counts as a little reunion for us."

Li Dahai hurriedly nodded and said, "Old Master Wang, you're too polite. This food is really delicious."

Li Si chimed in, "Yeah, these dishes are even tastier than what my mom makes."

Lin Hao smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Master, you've worked hard."

Everyone ate and chatted, the atmosphere warm and harmonious.

In the afternoon, the sunlight was still warm, sprinkling on the earth, giving a comfortable feeling.

The three set off back to the Petroleum Base.

Before leaving, Old Master Wang gave Lin Hao some books and said earnestly, "Child, take these books back and read them carefully. If there's anything you don't understand, write it down and come ask me later. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a profound and vast field of study; it requires constant learning and research."

Lin Hao accepted the books with both hands and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master. I will definitely study them seriously."

Then, Old Master Wang took out some money and handed it to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao hurriedly declined, saying, "Master, I can't accept this money. I have the oilfield subsidy, and tuition is waived; there's nowhere I need to spend money."

Li Dahai also said from the side, "Yeah, Old Master, no need. Our family situation is okay; we can take good care of him."

But the old master insisted on giving it. He said, "Child, this money isn't for your living expenses, but for you to buy some study materials and tools. Learning Traditional Chinese Medicine requires some special tools and books; don't refuse. Take it; this is also a token of my appreciation."

Seeing Old Master Wang's determined eyes, Lin Hao knew further refusal was useless, so he accepted the money.

Li Dahai also said with emotion, "Old Master Wang, you're truly a good person. Lin Hao meeting you is his blessing."

Old Master Wang smiled and said, "It's all fate. I believe this child Lin Hao will certainly amount to something in the future."

Afterwards, the three bid farewell to Old Master Wang and his wife and embarked on the return journey.

On the way, Li Si shared his experiences playing in Qingdao with Lin Hao, and also brought gifts for Cheng Miaomiao and the others. Watching the happy Li Si, Lin Hao felt worried about Li Si's condition, hoping it hadn't developed into an irreversible situation.

Arriving at the base, Li Si couldn't wait; clutching the gifts, he rushed out like a gust of wind, ready to go share them with Cheng Miaomiao and the group.

His face beamed with an excited smile, as if with these gifts he could properly show off in front of his little friends.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao, Li Dahai, and Cheng Pengfei sat in the Li family's living room, the atmosphere somewhat heavy. A trace of worry showed on each person's face, as if a heavy stone pressed on their hearts.

Cheng Pengfei broke the silence first. He looked at Lin Hao, his eyes full of admiration, and said, "Lin Hao, you're really amazing. To actually become Old Master Wang's disciple — that's a tremendously good thing. Old Master Wang is a grandmaster of the Traditional Chinese Medicine world; the fact that he took a liking to you shows you truly have something extraordinary."

Li Dahai also nodded slightly and said, "Yeah, Lin Hao. You must cherish this opportunity and study Traditional Chinese Medicine well. In the future you'll also have a good prospect."

Lin Hao smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I didn't expect Grandpa Wang would accept me as a disciple either. I'll definitely study hard and not disappoint everyone's expectations."

Li Dahai sighed and said, "Now we just hope Li Si's test results are fine; otherwise my heart will never be at ease."

Cheng Pengfei comforted, "Dahai, don't worry too much. The results aren't out yet; maybe everything's fine. We have to think positively."

Lin Hao also said, "Uncle Li, Uncle Cheng is right. Let's just wait patiently for the results." The atmosphere in the living room eased slightly, but everyone's hearts were still filled with worry.

Come Friday, that seemingly endlessly stretched wait finally reached its end. The test results came out, and indeed it was as previously feared — a growth had formed on Li Si's intestine. However, fortunately, this growth was benign and had not yet worsened; timely removal would pose no major problem.

This could no longer be kept from Niu Lingling.

In the evening, Li Dahai deliberately returned home early. His heart was full of apprehension, not knowing how to broach the subject with his wife.

Li Dahai took a deep breath and slowly told the test results.

The moment Niu Lingling heard, she felt the sky was about to collapse. Her face instantly turned pale, tears welling in her eyes. "How could this happen? How could my son get this kind of disease?" Niu Lingling said in a trembling voice.

Li Dahai hurriedly stepped forward to support his wife and comforted, "Don't worry, the doctor said it's benign; timely removal and it'll be fine."

Li Si also tightly held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry too much."

Lin Hao also said from the side, "Aunt Ling, medicine is so advanced now; Li Si will definitely get better."

Niu Lingling wiped her tears and said, "Then let's hurry up and get the child surgery. We can't delay any longer."
