Chapter 45 - 45 Visiting Sheng Guang
45 Visiting Sheng Guang
After leaving the Guos’, Guo Miao brought Guo Fu and Xuxu to the hotel they had booked.
The hotel was located near the beach of Baicheng, which was closer to Sheng Guang’s residence.
It wasn’t because Guo Miao was going to treat Sheng Guang’s illness. Instead, it was simply because Xuxu wanted to go to the beach to play.
Although Dongshan Village had a beachfront, it was a fishing area, and children were not allowed to play there.
The beach there was full of rocks and gravel. There was no soft white sand, no little toys and shells for children to play with, and no hot spring pool like the hotel next to the beach in Baicheng.
Xuxu sat in the car and gazed at the beach and the stars in the distance. He blinked his big eyes and repeatedly asked, “Can I go and play later?”
After receiving Guo Miao’s confirmation, Xuxu was so happy that he almost jumped for joy.
Guo Miao looked at the night view outside and felt a sense of satisfaction. She could finally give Xuxu a better life.
…
In a window seat at the beachfront restaurant of Baicheng sat a man with sunglasses and a walking stick. Opposite him was a man with an exquisite face and dyed red hair.
The red-haired man was wearing a denim shirt full of rivets and badges, and he was carrying a doll-like bag. He looked very fashionable.
“If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t have known you were in Haicheng.” The man looked at Sheng Guang worriedly. “Ever since the accident, you haven’t gone on a trip. What were you thinking this time? Why did you come out?”
“En Cai, I’m not in Haicheng for a vacation. I’m here to treat my illness,” Sheng Guang explained.
En Cai was Sheng Guang’s junior, and both of them were Master Sihan’s disciples.
En Cai was from country K and was of mixed race. He was the only rebellious figure among Master Sihan’s disciples, but he shared a close relationship with Sheng Guang.
After the incident with Sheng Guang, he didn’t keep in touch with his friends in the art circle. He also didn’t keep in touch with En Cai. If they hadn’t happened to be in Haicheng this time, they might not have seen each other for a long time.
“Treating your illness?” En Cai frowned. “There’s hope for your illness?”
He was surprised.
When Sheng Guang’s diagnosis came out, there was no one in the entire art world who didn’t feel pity. Such a genius was sentenced to death at such a young age.
“Yes, there’s a master who’s talented in Chinese medicine and is willing to treat me,” Sheng Guang said.
“This Chinese master is really a mythical unicorn. He can actually cure such an illness. You’re so lucky.”
Encai’s words made Sheng Guang laugh. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice in the dining room.
He turned towards the door, which was the direction where Guo Miao, Guo Fu, and Xuxu had come in.
En Cai looked in his direction and saw him.
“What’s wrong? There’s a girl at the door, and she’s bringing a father and son in,” En Cai described the girl’s appearance to Sheng Guang.
“That’s the master I was talking about—Master Guo Miao!” Sheng Guang grabbed his friend’s hand and said excitedly.
En Cai frowned. “Can the masters in your country be this young?”
She should still be in high school in country K at such a young age. How could she be old enough to treat people in Haicheng? Sheng Guang had better not be deceived.
En Cai was a little worried.
As the two of them were talking, Guo Miao also saw Sheng Guang sitting on the other side and walked over.
En Cai sized Guo Miao up. This girl should really be in school. How could she be a master? On the other hand, the middle-aged man in plain clothes behind her seemed to be a master.
“My name is En Cai. I’m Sheng Guang’s junior,” En Cai greeted Guo Miao.
Guo Miao also nodded and introduced herself.
“You’re the master who treated Sheng Guang?” En Cai asked in a skeptical tone. Sheng Guang could hear the doubt in his voice.
“Yes, I am.” Guo Miao looked at En Cai with a calm expression. “I’m the one treating Mr. Sheng.”
“With all due respect, Mr. Sheng’s illness is very difficult to cure. And I’m afraid that you haven’t finished high school yet. I’d like to ask how you were able to treat him.”
Sheng Guang almost laughed out loud. No wonder En Cai had been so sarcastic just now. He suspected that Guo Miao was lying.
“Mr. En Cai, you don’t have to doubt my medical skills. You can ask Sheng Guang himself.”
Guo Fu, who was listening at the side, was a little frightened. He was worried that his daughter had really learned some fake medical skills and was out to swindle people.
