“Doctor Nan?”
Cheng Yanzhao looked surprised at Nan Yan. “Are you Grandpa An’s granddaughter?”
Nan Yan nodded slightly, then glanced at the elderly Cheng sitting on the sofa.
“So, the old friend Grandpa mentioned was Mr. Cheng.”
“Oh, you know each other?” Grandpa An was a bit puzzled.
He didn’t expect that his granddaughter would also know Mr. Cheng.
Cheng Jingchuan’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Elder An, it was your granddaughter who saved my life. If it weren’t for her, I probably wouldn’t have survived this ordeal. I might have died…”
Grandpa An and Mr. Cheng were classmates at the same university when they were young, and they even shared the same dormitory. Their friendship had continued from their college days.
But in recent years, both of them had deteriorating health, constantly teetering on the brink of life and death. Even though they lived not far from each other, they hadn’t met in over a decade.
Now, thanks to Nan Yan’s care. Mr. Cheng’s health had finallv imDroved. and
he looked much more robust and spirited.
After his health improved, he had come to Jin City to visit Tao Qingming and Professor Yun and to check on Grandpa An.
“When did Yanyan go to treat you?” Grandpa An couldn’t help but sigh. His granddaughter was truly amazing.
Without a word, she had quietly gone to the imperial capital to treat Mr. Cheng’s illness.
Cheng Jingchuan’s status was not something an ordinary doctor could access.
“It’s been only a short while, just about a month or two. With Yanyan’s help, I can now move around freely.”
“No wonder I heard before that your health was deteriorating, but after seeing you in person, you look so vibrant. It turns out there’s a little miracle doctor in the family!” Cheng Jingchuan looked at Nan Yan with a different emotion in his eyes.
“Elder An, what do you think? How about we become in-laws?”
In the past, he didn’t dare to entertain the thought, thinking that his grandson wasn’t worthy of the little miracle doctor.
But now that the little miracle doctor turned out to be his old friend’s granddaughter, he could boldly propose it.
Of course, the most important thing was the opinions of the two young people.
Although he wanted to arrange a match between Cheng Yanzhao and Nan Yan, if the two of them disagreed, he would certainly respect their decision. So, he said the last sentence as a playful remark.
Grandpa An quickly replied, “Elder Cheng, I can’t decide on that. Yanyan already has a boyfriend.”
His own granddaughter was quite likable, and he took pride in that.
However, he was not a feudal patriarch, and in this day and age, arranging marriages was not something he intended to do.
“Grandpa, please spare me,” Cheng Yanzhao, with his handsome appearance, even managed to make a bitter smile look pleasant. “Doctor Nan is too outstanding; how could I be a match for her?”
Of course, he knew that Nan Yan and Qin Lu were close.
Now, hearing Grandpa An talk about it, it seemed that both the Qin family and the An family were in favor of this marriage.
Qin Lu was known to be assertive.
If Qin Lu found out that his grandfather was thinking of arranging his engagement with Nan Yan, it could lead to trouble.
Although he had a good impression of Nan Yan and admired her, it didn’t include romantic feelings.
“Well, you’re right; you’re not a match for Yanyan,” Mr. Cheng sighed and then said to Nan Yan, “Yanyan, I was just joking, it can’t be serious.”
“No problem,” Nan Yan casually sat on the sofa. “It seems Mr. Cheng’s health is recovering well. Keep taking those medicines, and in another month, I’ll give you a follow-up check.”
Mr. Cheng nodded. “Yes, I’ll trouble you, Yanyan.”
As they were all familiar with each other, the conversation flowed casually.
Nan Yan and Cheng Yanzhao joined the two elderly gentlemen in conversation.
After the kitchen prepared dinner, they all had a meal together, and after finishing their meal, the Cheng family stayed for another half hour before leaving.
“Yanyan, you have an exam the day after tomorrow, right?”
“Yes,” Nan Yan nodded. “Grandpa, is there something you wanted to talk about?”
“It’s not a big deal, I just wanted to ask if you might get nervous for the exam, that’s all.”
Nan Yan thought for a moment and then squeezed Grandpa An’s shoulder. “No worries, I’m not nervous.’
“Get some rest early, and I’ll accompany you all day tomorrow.” The day before the exam, there were no classes.
She had been too busy lately and hadn’t spent much time with him.
Grandpa An quickly waved his hand and said, “No need, Yanyan, you have an exam the day after tomorrow. You should rest well tomorrow. After your exam, you can spend time with Grandpa.”
Nan Yan casually remarked, “I’ll be going away for the summer vacation, and I might not be back until the school starts.”
After saying that, she raised an eyebrow playfully. “Grandpa, are you sure you don’t want me to accompany you?”
Grandpa An’s attitude instantly changed, “I want!”
“Alright.”
After spending a day with Grandpa An, in the evening, Nan Yan went to visit An Xiran’s training base and livestreamed for two hours.
After returning and getting ready for bed, she sent a message to Qin Lu: “Good night, big brother.”
Qin Lu replied, “Good girl.”
The next morning, Grandpa An, unusually, got up early, dressed in a very formal suit, and sat on the living room sofa, waiting for Nan Yan to come downstairs.
Beside him was Grandpa Lu.
Both old men were dressed energetically, looking like handsome elderly gentlemen.
“Grandpa, Grandpa Lu, what’s going on?”
Grandpa An spoke spiritedly, “Both your grandfathers are here to escort you to the exam center!”
Nan Yan sighed, “Grandpa, it’s just a regular exam, not the college entrance exam…”
Her grandfathers seemed too nervous.
“It’s not just a regular exam; it’s the end-of-term exam for your grade!” Grandpa An said with determination. “Who says only the college entrance exam is important? Every exam before the college entrance exam is crucial!”
“Your grandfather is right,” Grandpa Lu chimed in. “Yanyan, don’t be nervous. Just approach it with a calm mind. Your grandfathers are your strong support.
Regardless of the outcome, you make us proud in both families!”
With the conversation reaching this point, Nan Yan simply accepted it.
After breakfast, Tian Yi drove them, and the two old men sandwiched Nan Yan, each holding one of her hands.
“Yanyan, don’t be nervous, treat it like any other regular exam, just perform normally,” Grandpa An reassured her.
Grandpa Lu added, “No matter whether you do well or not, no one will put pressure on you!”
Nan Yan thought to herself, “Which of the two old men is actually nervous?”
Her hands were held tightly by them, and she could feel the dampness in their palms.
Was there really a need to be this nervous?
This seemed a bit too exaggerated!
They drove at a steady forty miles per hour.
Because the two elderly men wanted to ensure a smooth journey. Nan Yan’s delicate face showed little expression, remaining calm as they reached the entrance of the examination center.
Grandpa An smiled and said, “Go on, we’ll be around here. After you finish the exam at noon, we’ll have lunch together outside, and then we’ll go home together in the afternoon.”
Nan Yan sighed, “Alright…”
Holding her stationery bag, she entered the examination hall at a leisurely pace.
Before entering the examination hall, all the students had to hand in their phones.
It was only when she was about to hand hers in that she realized she had received many text messages on her phone.
Messages from Shen Junqing, Bai Chen, An Xiran, Lin Zhiyan…
Without exception, they were all messages encouraging her for the exam.
After reading them, just as she was about to hand in her phone, a new message came in with a “ding” sound….
