Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 41 The Roommates' Tacit Understanding

Inside the clinic

The door to the ward was pushed open from the outside, and as soon as Jiang Nannan walked in, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Mom, didn't I tell you to rest and recover? You got out of bed again without permission."

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother smiled gently and obediently sat back on the bed.

"You silly girl, don't I know my own body? I'm really all better."

"That won't do. We have to wait until that person has checked and confirmed that there are no problems before we can talk about it."

Jiang Nannan showed no respect for her mother whatsoever.

She kept saying that everything was fine until she collapsed at home, and only then did she realize that her mother had such a serious illness.

"I just finished eating, so I need to move around a bit. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Before Jiang's mother could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door, and Jiang Nannan's face immediately lit up with joy.

"Please come in."

As the words fell, to Jiang's mother's astonishment, a remarkably young-looking boy pushed open the door and walked in.

This is the person who treated me!?

So young!?

It doesn't look even as big as Nan Nan, does it?

The thought that a boy of such a young age had treated her illness filled Jiang's mother with a deep sense of shame.

But what followed was a feeling of relief.

The reason she felt relieved was because her aftereffects could be treated.

So many days have passed since she started treatment, but those two pimples haven't gone away at all. The electric shock-like sensation from the occasional friction against her clothes is causing her great trouble in her daily life.

After enduring so many days, she had tried every method she could think of, and although she hadn't achieved any results, she had a vague idea of ​​why this was happening.

She used to have heart problems, and her body was essentially in a state of chronic anemia. Now that the problem has been resolved, her body can't adapt immediately, so naturally...

But now that she knows the reason, she doesn't know how to solve it!

Who knows how long this will last? If it's going to last a year or two, she'd rather be anemic and bedridden.

Besides, she couldn't very well ask others about something so shameful...

But if the person you're talking about is a child, asking shouldn't be a big deal, right?

"Good afternoon, both of you. Has Auntie experienced any unusual symptoms these past few days?"

Even though he had prepared himself mentally before coming, Huo Yuhao's smile still seemed a little stiff when he faced Jiang's mother who had woken up.

The next sentence was naturally addressed to Jiang Nannan, but for some reason, he noticed that Jiang's mother's face seemed to have become a little rosier after hearing his words.

Is there really a special circumstance?

"There's nothing wrong. I'm sorry to have troubled you to come all this way. Please give my mother another check-up."

Jiang Nannan quickly stood up to give up her seat and turned to speak to her mother.

"Mom, this is Huo Yuhao, the one who treated your illness before."

After banishing those bizarre thoughts from her mind, Jiang's mother gave Huo Yuhao a gentle smile.

"Yuhao, I've heard the gist of what Nannan told me. Thank you so much this time."

"The main reason is that your condition wasn't too serious, so the treatment process wasn't too complicated."

Huo Yuhao sat down on the stool, and after carefully observing Jiang's mother's condition, a smile appeared on his face.

"Judging from your complexion, Auntie, you seem to have recovered quite well. Please let me examine your hand more thoroughly. If there are no problems, you shouldn't need to stay at the clinic any longer."

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother's face lit up with joy. She quickly placed her hand in Huo Yuhao's palm and let him examine her. During the process, she glanced at Jiang Nannan with a smug look on her face.

"See? I told you I was fine."

Although Jiang Nannan was equally happy, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at her mother's unreliable behavior.

The test results came back quickly. Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and smiled and nodded at Jiang Nannan.

"Auntie's illness is considered cured. Just buy some medicine and take it home to recuperate. Also, avoid strenuous exercise for the first two months."

"Okay." Jiang Nannan thanked her sincerely, "Thank you so much this time, by the way..."

She paused suddenly, then tentatively asked, "Yuhao, do you have an older sister who attends Shrek Academy?"

After the treatment that day, she carefully recalled where she had heard the name Huo Yuhao before, and then she remembered that her good roommate Tang Ya often mentioned "Little Yuhao".

"You mean Sister Xiaoya?"

Huo Yuhao had considered the possibility that Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan would still be roommates in this life, but he didn't expect that Jiang Nannan would know him. Could it be that Tang Ya told him herself?

Although she had already guessed it, Jiang Nannan still felt a sense of wonder at how small the world was when Huo Yuhao admitted it himself.

"Xiaoya and I are roommates. She mentioned you and your mother to me before."

"Yeah?"

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but become curious, "What did Sister Xiaoya say about me at the academy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence.

(⊙o⊙)...

"Ahem... uh... well..."

Jiang Nannan's brain began to overload, and her expression suddenly became somewhat complicated. Her face flushed red, and she stammered, as if there was something she was ashamed to say.

"?"

Sensing something was wrong, Huo Yuhao's smile gradually froze.

"What's wrong? Did Sister Xiaoya talk bad about me at school?"

"No, no, she said she was very grateful to you and your mother for taking her in."

Jiang Nannan quickly waved her hand, but the blush on her face only deepened.

How could she possibly say that?!

Is it true that your sister seems to have ulterior motives towards you?

You said your sister dreams at night that she thinks her pillow is you, and rolls around in it? And she likes to talk in her sleep in strange ways?

Seeing Huo Yuhao's increasingly confused expression, Jiang Nannan desperately searched her memory and finally found a few positive and uplifting words in Tang Ya's filthy ramblings to her brother.

"She said you're amazing, cooking, medicine, soul tools, it's like you know everything."

".Yeah?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Jiang Nannan, who seemed to want to bury her head in the ground, and asked with some suspicion.

"Uh-huh."

A pang of conscience prevented Jiang Nannan from dwelling on the topic any longer, and she nodded vigorously.

"Auntie's illness has been resolved, and so have I."

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to take his leave after the examination was over, Jiang's mother, who had been watching the show for a while, finally spoke up.

"Yuhao, wait a minute, you've done us such a big favor, you should give us a chance to express our gratitude, shouldn't you?"

Without giving Huo Yuhao a chance to speak, she continued to add.

"Auntie is being discharged from the hospital today, and we were planning to have a big celebration dinner tonight. It'll be lonely eating just the two of us, mother and daughter. Could you please give Auntie this opportunity and treat you to a meal?"

She knew that Huo Yuhao probably knew about their family situation, which was why he refused to offer a reward to avoid adding to their burden, so he chose to treat them to a meal, an activity that didn't cost much.

As she expected, Huo Yuhao relaxed upon hearing this and did not refuse again.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie."
