Why would he cook while in Beijing? Su Xing tilted his head and thought the homeowner must have misunderstood something. He embarrassingly explained, "Mr. Yu, I have no access in Beijing and cannot cook for you."

Moreover, going to school required housing and he could not continue cooking.

Yu Feng thought to himself in silence, he was focusing on Su Xing's tone instead of the word's meaning. He paused for a moment, before simply saying, "I know, you take care of the patient and we'll talk next time."

Su Xing nodded, "Okay."

In his opinion, the homeowner was very busy. "You get to work, it would be bad if the boss thought you were lazy."

Yu Feng was the boss, who would dare to think him lazy? However, Su Xing knew nothing so Yu Feng could not respond.

"Hmm." Yu Feng pretended to have a boss, then he hung up the phone.

He pondered, then sent another text message. [Take care of the patient but don't forget to take care of yourself.] He was afraid that if Su Xing was too busy, he would forget to eat and rest.

Su Xing saw the text message just as he entered the ward. His heart warmed and he quickly sent a response. [I know Mr. Yu. You also have to take care of yourself. If there are no issues, I should be back tomorrow morning.]

After the kind Yu Feng finished texting, Su Xing sat back in his chair and kept uncle Niu company. Now he was full of worries about the latter's future. Uncle Niu was not that young.

Su Xing sighed, he was worried and thinking about what to do about school and uncle Niu. After pondering, did uncle Niu have any relatives? While thinking, the IV bag emptied and a nurse replaced it. Then uncle Niu woke up.

Su Xing looked at the uncle and whispered, "Uncle Niu, how are you feeling? Are you hungry?"

The old man was still stick, he opened his mouth and made some noises but nodded his head so Su Xing understood.

"Okay, I'll go out and buy something to pad your stomach." Su Xing told his plans to a nurse and quickly walked away.

There weren't many choices in the street, so he bought porridge, dumplings as well as soup noodles. Around one o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Feng asked Su Xing if he had eaten. Su Xing was rather busy, so it took more than half an hour to send a response stating that he did.

Yu Feng could tell at a glance that it would not be good to disturb his friend and did not send further messages. On Su Xing's side, uncle Niu's fever finally receded.

At five or six o'clock, the two men gathered around a small hospital table and had dinner with a smile. Alas, uncle Niu's body was still a bit weak with his age and fever, but talking and eating were not an issue.

"Don't worry." He told Su Xing. "A fever is only a minor illness." Uncle Niu smiled lovingly.

Since the child came to the village, the old man had watched everything the youth had done. It was a situation where a thank you would not be enough. Uncle Niu sighed, he had to trouble the young man for these matters.

"Do you have any relatives?" Su Xing asked without beating around the bush.

Uncle Niu responded, "I have a nephew, but have not been in contact for many years." He did not know how said nephew was doing now.

"Hmm." Su Xing nodded, it was good he still had relatives. "Uncle Niu, after summer vacation I am returning to school and I was not assured of your health."

Then he suggested, "Would you like to contact your nephew?"

Uncle Niu waved his hand and smiled, "No need, I am fine." But he felt reluctant hearing the child wanted to return to school.
