The middle-aged man in a white coat finished speaking and, seeing two young people sitting outside the door, quickly changed his tone, "Ahem... Both of you, come in together."

"Let's go."

Su Nian gently pulled Su Yu's small hand.

After the two entered the office, Su Nian glanced at the more anxious Su Yu beside him and asked the seated middle-aged man, "Doctor, how are my sister's test results?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged doctor first put all the test sheets into a bag.

Then, he got up and came to Su Nian's side, smiling as he said, "Don't worry, kid. Your sister... just has a minor issue."

As he spoke, he patted Su Nian's shoulder, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Su Nian understood and gratefully accepted the bag the doctor handed over.

Su Yu's condition...

How could he not know?

Now, the doctor's words and his approach of having the patient come in together were clearly to avoid breaking down the patient's last psychological defense.

"Then, doctor... what kind of minor issue is it?" Su Yu raised her head at this moment, asking curiously.

The doctor replied in a relaxed tone, "A minor issue in the head... girl, you don't need to be afraid. As long as you have surgery within the next two months, there won't be any major problems."

Su Nian nodded, "Alright, thank you, doctor!"

"Mm."

The doctor watched the young man and woman leave, a complex look in his eyes.

***

On the way back, no matter how much Su Nian tried to comfort or talk to her, Su Yu kept her head down, silent, her expression occasionally dazed.

Until they got home.

Su Nian watched Su Yu, whose eyes were slightly red, change her shoes and head towards the bedroom.

He quickly reached out to hold her slender, soft arm, comforting her, "The doctor said surgery will make it better, it's definitely benign, don't be afraid."

Hearing this, Su Yu raised her head, her slightly moist beautiful eyes gazing at the man in front of her.

She softly negotiated, "If it's really benign, can we just use medication? I don't want surgery..."

She's not foolish.

Even though the doctor hid it well, her naturally sensitive heart couldn't help but notice.

Not to mention, a condition in the head, plus the necessity of surgery...

It doesn't take much to understand the gravity...

"How can that be okay?" Su Nian was anxious.

"But we don't have money..." Su Yu lowered her head again.

Even though she tried to endure.

Tears still fell one by one from her eyes.

Hearing this, Su Nian instinctively recalled scenes from his past life, his heart aching as if pierced by needles!

"Leave it to me, okay?"

He hugged the girl sobbing silently in front of him, holding her tightly as if not wanting her to escape!

The girl, hearing this, shook her head repeatedly in Su Nian's embrace, trying to break free but unable to.

The exorbitant surgery fees were obvious!

Hospital bills, medical expenses...

The boy in front of her had a bright future!

But her own future...

Would probably only burden him, right?

Recalling the fainting spell from the morning.

Was this illness... really that simple?

At this moment, Su Yu's whole body trembled.

But suddenly, when a warm touch pressed against her lips in an instant!

Her mind, filled with negative emotions, suddenly went blank!

"Mm..."

After a full half-minute...

Su Nian raised his hand, gently caressing the girl's pretty face, speaking softly, "Since our parents left, you've been taking care of me.

So from now on...

Give me a chance, okay?"

Even though Su Yu's beautiful eyes, red from crying, had stopped shedding tears.

Upon hearing these words, her vision still blurred.

She rubbed her little face against the boy's chest, wiping away her tears.

Then, with a flushed face, she stammered, "You... you haven't eaten yet, have you? I... I'll cook for you?"

"Okay!"

Su Nian smiled, releasing the now warm Su Yu from his embrace.

Watching her flee in a panic, he smacked his lips.

***

In a blink, after the two finished lunch.

It was already one in the afternoon.

Su Nian prepared to return to the Virtual Pod, aiming to upgrade his talent today.

And obtain the Primitive Necklace!

Meanwhile, Su Yu, with a constantly blushing face, sweetly said goodbye to him and obediently went back to school.

Su Nian's original intention was to have this girl take a two-month break from school.

After all, her condition couldn't handle too much stress, especially not mental exertion.

But she refused no matter what!

Finally, after she repeatedly assured him that attending school was just to pass the time and she would definitely take care of her health, Su Nian reluctantly agreed.

"Let's see what good stuff I can get in the next half-day!"

Su Nian stepped into the Virtual Pod.

Clearing his mind of distractions.

When he opened his eyes again, his consciousness was back in the Beginner Village!

Quickly scanning the overpowered stats panel.

Su Nian, satisfied, quickly opened the game map!

To avoid unnecessary trouble.

Heading to another Beginner Village to farm bosses was his only choice!

Just don't randomly teleport to...

Some weird place!

"Confirm!" Su Nian didn't hesitate.

The next second, his vision blurred!

"Hmm?

Damn???"
