"Dad, haven't you been urging me to find a boyfriend lately? This is Qin Yang, my, my boyfriend."
Ning Xin pulled Qin Yang's arm, teasingly said.
Since it wasn't real, Ning Xin was a bit nervous as she spoke, and Qin Yang could feel it.
"Boyfriend?"
Ning Xin's parents both had a trace of surprise in their eyes. Did their precious daughter really have a boyfriend?
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
Qin Yang smiled slightly, placing what he had in his hand on the table beside the hospital bed.
"Hello, hello."
Ning's father nodded, laughed happily, and looked at Qin Yang as if he were assessing a son-in-law.
The young man before him had a sunny and clean appearance, a calm demeanor, and his eyes were pitch-black and clear. His entire person exuded an unusual charm, instantly bringing forth a good impression.
"Xiao Yang, who do you have in your family? Any siblings?"
Ning's father asked with concern, as if interrogating a future son-in-law.
"Just my parents and me, no siblings."
Qin Yang said.
"Hmm, Xiao Yang, what do your parents do for a living?"
Ning's father nodded and continued to ask.
"Dad, it's Qin Yang's first time here, you..."
Ning Xin's face reddened, and she immediately complained.
"You little girl, already siding with outsiders so quickly, not letting your dad ask a few more questions. He's just watching out for you."
Ning's mother laughed, cut a piece of apple, and handed it to Ning Xin.
"It's okay, Xinxin, Uncle is just concerned for me. My family manages some therapeutic meals and also runs a winery."
Qin Yang glanced at Ning Xin and said with a smile.
Parents are always worried about their children facing hardship. Qin Yang understood what Ning's father was concerned about, so he mentioned the therapeutic meals and winery his family managed.
"Oh, you run a business? Must be quite wealthy then."
Ning's father mused.
"Dad, what are you talking about with money?"
Ning Xin pouted, even if Qin Yang wasn't her real boyfriend, she couldn't let him misunderstand that her family was greedy.
"Haha, Xiao Yang, don't misunderstand. I'm just a high school teacher, and Xinxin's mom sells vegetables at the market, we're just an ordinary family."
Ning's father said with a hearty smile.
Qin Yang nodded, although Ning's father wore hospital attire, Ning's mother's clothes were very ordinary, and they were staying in a three-person ward, indicating their economic situation was typical for an ordinary family.
"But Xinxin is very accomplished. She got into a national key media university, now she's a intern reporter at the provincial TV station, soon she'll get a permanent position. That's how our family's situation is. Your family doesn't mind, right?"
Ning's father looked at Qin Yang and asked.
"Uncle, where is there anything to mind? Xinxin and I are doing great. Xinxin is so pretty and sensible, my parents only have time to like her."
Qin Yang said with a smile.
"Well, that's good, hahaha."
Ning's father was overjoyed.
"Xiao Yang, don't blame me for asking more questions earlier. Ever since I was diagnosed with a tumor last month, without knowing yet whether it's malignant or benign, I've been thinking about who would take care of them if I were gone."
Ning's father looked at Ning's mother and Ning Xin with eyes full of affection.
"So I've been urging Xinxin to find a boyfriend every day, so that if I leave, they have someone to rely on."
Ning's father looked at Qin Yang, speaking deeply.
"Dad, what are you talking about? The tumor is benign, the doctor said it can be removed and you'll be fine."
Ning Xin's eyes reddened, tears welling up.
Ning's mother's eyes were also red.
At that moment, Qin Yang felt touched, witnessing the great and deep love from the thin middle-aged man before him. It was filled with love for his wife and daughter, and a man's courage and responsibility.
"Haha, alright, dear, don't cry. I know it's benign. I can't bear to leave you two."
Ning's father laughed heartily.
"Don't worry, Uncle, your illness will definitely get better."
Qin Yang also said, his voice firm, knowing he could cure the tumor in just a few minutes once he decided how to tell Ning's father.
"Haha, indeed, Old Ning, your illness is treatable, remove the tumor and rest for a while, and you'll be fine. This young man is exceptional, and matches well with Xinxin. Together they are truly a perfect couple."
Zhang, the patient on the adjacent bed, said with a smile.
"Hahaha, that's right, and you should see whose son-in-law he is."
Ning's father laughed heartily, this illness had brought him many realizations, and brightened his mood considerably.
"Alright, stop being so proud, drink the chicken soup."
Seeing Ning's father's smug demeanor, Ning's mother gave him a look, smiled through her tears, picked up the chicken soup from the table, scooped a spoonful, and fed it to Ning's father.
At that moment, the ward door opened, and a young doctor walked in wearing a white coat. At about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, his face had quite a few pimples, and a stethoscope hung around his neck. When he saw Ning Xin in the room, his eyes instantly lit up.
"Ning Xin, you're here to see Uncle."
Hua Zhouquan said with a smile.
"Dr. Hua."
Ning Xin nodded, then blinked at Qin Yang, signaling that this guy was the associate chief physician who kept bothering her.
"Dr. Hua, has my dad's surgery been scheduled yet? He's been admitted for five days already. When can my dad have the surgery?"
Ning Xin asked.
"Oh, surgery schedule, well, there are many in line. Director Liang, who is responsible for tumor removal surgeries, has his schedule booked over half a month ahead."
Hua Zhouquan thought for a moment and said solemnly.
"What? That long? More than half a month? Isn't it better to remove the tumor as soon as possible? What if it changes? Dr. Hua, you really have to think of a way."
Ning's mother said anxiously.
"Auntie, please don't worry. Uncle's matter is my matter, I will arrange Uncle's surgery as soon as possible."
Hua Zhouquan assuredly said with a pretended earnest tone.
Qin Yang watched Hua Zhouquan's performance expressionlessly, this doctor was just spouting nonsense. Benign tumors should be found and removed as soon as possible to prevent changes, there was no need to wait over half a month. Could it be that all the doctors in this hospital were gone?
"Alright, alright, thanks to you, Dr. Hua. We hope you can arrange Old Ning's surgery soon."
Ning's mother said gratefully.
"Well, Auntie, don't worry."
Hua Zhouquan nodded assuredly, then looked over at Ning Xin.
"Xinxin, would you mind if I call you that? There are some matters regarding your dad's illness that I'd like to discuss further with you."
Hua Zhouquan said with a smile.
"What matters?"
Ning Xin asked.
"Oh, how about this? I have other patients soon. Tonight, when I get off work, how about we discuss it over dinner at the restaurant across the hospital? I'll treat you, is that alright?"
Hua Zhouquan's eyes flashed, looking at Ning Xin with a smile.
