Falling behind at the start, the first surgery shocked the world.

Chapter 113 Giving Gifts

"Xia, if you can't finish the abalone, then don't eat it. Let's eat something else."

Zhang Ming placed a chicken leg in Xia Tian's bowl.

He asked with a smile.

"Are your mother and younger brother back in your hometown?"

Xia Tian nodded: "At my hometown."

Zhang Ming and Aunt Xue exchanged a glance; Aunt Xue's expression was somewhat complicated.

This poor kid...

Is he good enough for my daughter?

Zhang Ming had a different idea.

Is our daughter good enough for Xia Tian?

Aunt Xue smiled and asked Xia Tian, "What are your plans for the future? Besides working hard, what are your plans for your personal life?"

"I heard from Lao Zhang that you're still single. Haven't you considered finding a partner or anything?"

Shall we begin?

Stay calm in the summer and answer honestly when elders ask you questions.

"Get ready to search."

"I want to be a father before I turn 30. I'm already 26 this year, so I need to start looking."

"However, I'm not in a hurry."

"Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and I want to take it slow."

Zhang Ming calculated the time; he would become a father at 30, which meant he had 4 years left.

Zhang Yunshu is only a sophomore this year. She will graduate in three years and then need another three years to pursue a master's degree.

The timing isn't quite right...

Or, we could stop her from pursuing a master's degree and just get married after she graduates.

Be a housewife?

Yeah, that's good too.

Aunt Xue was unaware of her husband's thoughts; she had her own ideas. She smiled at Xia Tian and said...

"Xia's idea is excellent, I agree with it."

"Marriage is a lifelong commitment, so you must find the right person. Don't rush it. As for having children, there's even less of a rush. It's perfectly fine to have children before the age of 40."

"Your Uncle Zhang has always liked you very much and always tells me that he wants you to be our son-in-law."

Holy crap, they just opened it up?

Summer was caught off guard.

Zhang Yunshu's face instantly turned red, and she was so shy that she didn't dare to lift her head.

"Oh dear, Mom, what did you say?"

"Let's not talk about that now, let's eat."

"Look at this girl, she's getting shy. Alright, we'll talk about these things later. Xia, have some meat."

Under the repeated offensives of Aunt Xue and Zhang Ming.

I ate too much in the summer.

After finishing the meal, Xia Tian sat for another half hour before getting up to leave at 8:30.

"See you at the hospital tomorrow, sir."

"Okay, see you at the hospital."

Watching Xia Tian's departing figure, Zhang Ming was very pleased and turned to his wife.

"How about it? Isn't the young man I've chosen handsome? He's about five-tenths as handsome as I was when I was young."

"Perfect for our girl."

"He is indeed good-looking and speaks well, but his family is too poor. He also has a younger brother. In the future, he will not only have to support his mother but also his brother. The pressure will be too great."

Aunt Xue frowned; the only thing missing from her goal of having the perfect son-in-law was a family.

Zhang Ming was unhappy.

"So what if your family is poor?"

"It's not like we can't afford to raise him. Xia earns 500,000 a year, plus commission from surgeries, making him a promising young man with a million-dollar annual income. Can't he afford to support one younger brother?"

"Besides, even if he can't afford to support me, I'm still here, aren't I?"

"I'll raise it for him."

"He's not perfect, but our girl isn't perfect either."

Aunt Xue rolled her eyes at her husband, then glared at him: "What's wrong with our daughter? Her education is no worse than his, and her background and social standing are all superior to his!"

Zhang Ming: "She's ugly!"

The air froze...

Zhang Ming turned to look at his daughter on the sofa, grinning, "Hehe, Dad's just kidding. You're not ugly, you look exactly like Dad. Dad was a real heartthrob when he was young."

Zhang Yunshu: "..."

"I'm going back to my room."

"You two talk."

Inside the room, Zhang Yunshu replied to her roommate's message.

"Senior Brother Xia is gone, I'm so tired..."

Student A: "Yunshu is amazing, she actually won over Senior Brother Xia directly."

Student B: "Really? Senior Brother Xia got won over by Yunshu?"

Zhang Yunshu replied weakly, "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Just now, he found the book 'Guidelines for the Clinical Application of Drugs for Common Diseases (Western Medicine)' in my room and has been testing me ever since."

He posed the questions, and I answered them.

"When he was giving me the questions, he would hold a second hand. If I answered too slowly, he would keep saying, 'Faster, faster!'"

"This is making me so nervous, even more nervous than taking the college entrance exam!"

Student A: "..."

Student B: "..."

Student C: "..."

"Ahem... Senior Brother Xia is indeed a top student. His way of interacting with girls is unique. But... Yunshu, relax a little. A man as outstanding as Senior Brother Xia is different from those who only know how to use sweet words. This is his way of expressing love."

"Yes, yes, this is how Senior Brother Xia expresses his love, so don't worry about it."

Zhang Yunshu: "Sighing emoji. I feel like he won't like me. I'm too stupid, and I'm not good-looking either..."

Student A: "How could you not like it? Doesn't your dad have a good relationship with Senior Brother Xia? With your uncle around, Senior Brother Xia can't escape, don't worry."

Zhang Yunshu: "I'm almost crying. You can't force someone to like you. I can't let my dad force him to like me."

Ding Dong!

Zhang Yunshu received a notification on WeChat. She left the group chat and saw a red dot next to the contact.

Click to open.

Summer: I'm Senior Brother Xia. Let's connect via WeChat.

Zhang Yunshu was overjoyed.

"Ahhhhh, Senior Brother Xia added me on WeChat! I wanted to add him on WeChat just now, but I was too shy. He actually took the initiative..."

Student B: "Hey, add it quickly, let's see what he says!"

Zhang Yunshu's hands trembled with excitement as she clicked "agree" and immediately sent a blushing emoji.

"Senior Brother Xia."

Summer: "Give me your address, I'll buy you something."

Click! Screenshot.

I dumped it in my roommates' group chat.

Zhang Yunshu: "Ahhhh, is he going to give me a gift?"

Student A: "Wow, that's impressive, Yunshu. Giving a gift on our first meeting. It seems Senior Brother Xia is quite interested in you."

Student B: "There's a chance, Yunshu is going to win over the male god."

Zhang Yunshu was excited: "Should I give them my address? It's not really appropriate to accept something from someone for the first time..."

Student C: "If you don't give him your address, how can he send you things? If he doesn't send you things, how can you reciprocate with gifts? If you don't reciprocate with gifts, how can you stay in touch? If you don't stay in touch, how can you date? If you don't date, how can you get married? If you don't get married, how can you have children?"

Zhang Yunshu: "Okay, okay, I'll go give him the address."

Zhang Yunshu opened Xia Tian's chat window, entered the address, and added a sentence.

"Is Senior Brother Xia going to give me a gift? It shouldn't be too expensive, otherwise I'll feel embarrassed to accept it."

Summer replied: "It's not expensive, I've bought it. Just wait, it will arrive in about three days."

Zhang Yunshu: "Just wondering, what did you give me?"

So happy!

So exciting!

Zhang Yunshu was constantly being tagged in her roommate group chat.

"@Zhang Yunshu, what gift did he give you? Tell us so we can give up."

"@Zhang Yunshu, I'm so anxious, tell me quickly."

"@Zhang Yunshu, tell me quickly!"

Zhang Yunshu: "He hasn't replied to me yet."
