Dr. Si shrugged innocently, her beautiful eyes filled with amusement: "There's no other way, I have to do the examination first, otherwise your parents will worry."

Sure enough, this guy couldn't wait to take advantage of her after they met again!

Lu Zhao ground his back teeth, then grabbed the man by the collar: "Tell me, how many people have you said this to before me?"

She can accept doctors treating patients like that, but her girlfriend is a fake doctor!

"I didn't get here much earlier than you, so you can't wrong an innocent person." Si Ling smiled wryly and quickly raised her hands in surrender. Seeing that Lu Zhao's expression relaxed, she directly reached out and began to take off her clothes.

"Holy crap! You're serious!"

"I already said it's just an inspection... Zhao Zhao, are you thinking about something inappropriate for children?"

"Pah! You're the one who's most inappropriate for children!"

Chapter 89: Beginning to Pay Off the Debt

After a series of tests that were not suitable for children, Lu Zhao finally sat up, his face flushed and wrapped in his clothes.

"Just as I expected, apart from Bai Yan not being able to come along, your current physique is already very close to your physique at the same time in another world."

As Si Ling wrote in the medical record book, she explained to her, "Next, we have one more thing to discuss, which is your whereabouts a month from now."

So it really is only possible to stay for a month?

Lu Zhao finished dressing, walked over and sat down in front of her, and asked curiously, "Didn't you say you had to leave in a month?"

“That depends on how you leave,” Si Ling put down her pen and looked at her seriously. “Now you have two choices: either don’t tell your parents and relatives, and I will arrange for you to have an accident on the day you leave this world, or you can tell them everything, and at least you can preserve your body when you leave.”

Having finally woken up from a coma, only to have her pass away unexpectedly a month later, such a blow must only make one more heartbroken...

Lu Zhao fell into deep thought, glancing at the doorway every now and then, scratching his head in frustration.

"I'm not asking you to make a choice right now. You can think about it carefully this month." Seeing how troubled she was, Si Ling understood her concerns and comforted her.

It's really asking too much of a child who has just reunited with their parents to think about how they will be separated from them again in a month.

However, from an objective standpoint, this is something that must be considered.

Si Ling knew very well that she had gone to great lengths to save Lu Zhao and had not wronged anyone, but she still felt somewhat indebted to Lu Zhao's parents in this world.

People get married and have children, and after all the hard work of raising their only daughter, they are forced to accept the fact that their daughter will suddenly leave them.

She thought for a moment and added, "If you feel you owe them something, I can compensate them materially."

This was also a question Lu Zhao had been pondering since returning, and she quickly asked, "How do you plan to make it up to me?"

"If you marry me, and something happens to us together, all the property under my name can go to your parents."

...Isn't this thinking too far ahead?

Seeing Lu Zhao's speechless expression, Si Ling knew that completing the process of confronting her parents, getting married, and having an accident within a month was a bit rushed, so she said, "Or should I let them win the lottery?"

"Can you use your power in this world too?" Lu Zhao asked, somewhat curiously.

Si Ling smiled wryly, "I can't use psychic energy anymore. The rules of this world dictate that superpowers are not allowed. But I can still slightly change the winning numbers of the lottery."

Having this ability is already incredibly powerful!

Lu Zhao stood up excitedly: "Great! I'll have my dad buy a lottery ticket later, as a gift to celebrate that I've come to my senses."

"Then what about our matter..." Si Ling asked hesitantly.

"I'll tell them when I win the lottery!"

After discussing everything, Lu Zhao sat back in his wheelchair and left the house. He happened to see Su Ling being pushed out at the same time, so he quickly went up to her and winked mischievously, "So? Are you satisfied with this Dr. Liu?"

"Was it arranged by Miss Si Ling?" Su Ling saw through it all at a glance, but still answered with a smile, "Please thank her for me. I'm so happy to see Sister Liu again."

……

The Lu family recently had two great joys: their daughter, who had been bedridden for over a year, finally woke up; and on the very day she regained consciousness, Old Lu bought a lottery ticket and won over ten million yuan.

Fortunately, after winning the lottery, Lu Zhao quickly selected an apartment in the city center, paid the rent, and moved in immediately, avoiding the trouble of a group of relatives and friends coming to borrow money.

Although the atmosphere was joyous, Lu's daughter, who had just woken up, was not in high spirits lately.

"Zhaozhao, is the Miss Si that Su Ling mentioned on the phone last time the same Dr. Si that you've been going out to meet with a lot lately?"

Faced with his mother's subtle probing, Lu Zhao tried his best to appear impatient, casually playing with his newly bought phone while leaning on the table. "Si Ling has already resigned; she's no longer a doctor."

Lu's mother said "Oh," and then asked, "Since you're not a doctor and you don't need any follow-up appointments recently, why are you going out to meet people every day? Is something wrong?"

The Lu family has always been tolerant of their daughter's romantic relationships, only requiring that her partner be kind-hearted and treat her well. They don't ask for anything else.

Even so, the elderly couple were still quite surprised when they learned that their daughter might be dating a girl.

"I heard that Su Ling started getting really close to her doctor after that checkup. Tell me, did you also get involved with that Dr. Si...?"

Lu Zhao helplessly propped his head up, casually typed a few words on his phone's chat interface, then stood up and said, "Mom, don't think too much. I'm going out for a bit, I won't be having dinner at home."

After saying that, he ran off as fast as a rabbit.

After standing there with her hands on her hips, sulking for a long time, Lu's mother finally turned to Lu's father, who was eavesdropping in the bathroom, and said, "I just saw it. Our daughter made an appointment with that Dr. Si to go to the amusement park today. What do you think?"

What other ideas could there be?

Mr. Lu came out of the bathroom with a headache, touched his receding hairline, and shrugged helplessly: "What can I do about my daughter? If she likes it, then let her go."

His daughter has never lacked suitors since she was a child, but she has always kept her distance from them and focused on her studies.

This would have been a good thing in the past, but now that his daughter is older, it's rare for her to find a potential partner. Even though she's a girl, as long as his daughter likes her, he's willing to accept it even if he has to hold his nose.

After rubbing his hands and thinking for a long time, he felt that what he had just said was a bit inappropriate, so he added, "How about this, let's find a time to invite Dr. Si out for a talk and see what she thinks of our daughter."

"Is this appropriate? If Zhao Zhao finds out, won't she be furious with us?"

"Hey, what's the rush? We're just checking things out for her, making sure she doesn't get scammed by bad people!"

Si Ling, who was called a bad guy, sneezed and frowned, saying, "Your parents are probably scolding me."

"You kidnapped their daughter, no wonder they're cursing you." Lu Zhao made a face at her, then pulled her along, running towards the crowded amusement park.

Chapter Ninety: The Confession

Lu Zhao had been dating Si Ling every day for a whole week. He figured his parents would get impatient, so he found a time and brought her to their door.

Thanks to Si Ling's excellent appearance and her reasonably good identity, Lu's parents were somewhat prepared. When they saw Dr. Si come to their door, they basically guessed what their daughter was thinking.

With an unspoken understanding between them, the two generations finished dinner in tacit agreement, and then... Si Ling was invited into the bedroom by her father, while Lu Zhao, whose loyalty was already showing signs of turning against his father, was locked out and could only sit in the living room.

"Don't blame your dad, he's just worried about you." Lu's mother brought her a cup of hot water and sat down next to her, afraid that she would have a conflict with the family because of this.

How could Lu Zhao be angry? She couldn't wait to talk things out with her family and settle things properly.

"Mom..." She took a sip of the hot water and looked at her mother with trepidation.

Since waking up, she noticed that her parents, who were only fifty years old, had aged considerably, probably because they had taken care of their health over the past year.

Staring at the deep lines around her mother's forehead and eyes, Lu Zhao felt even more guilty. Her parents had worked so hard to raise her, but she could no longer stay and serve them.

"Oh, you silly child," Lu's mother thought she was worried about her girlfriend, and put a hand on her hand to comfort her, "Don't worry, as long as you really like that Miss Si, your father and I won't object."

She smiled with great affection, her eyes crinkling with deep wrinkles, her rough fingers patting Lu Zhao's hand as she reminisced:

"Mom remembers when you were little, you always said you were looking for someone. Every time your dad and I asked you who you wanted to find, you said you couldn't remember. Back then, we thought you might be sick, so we took you to the hospital for checkups several times, but they all said you were perfectly healthy!"

Later, your dad said that this wasn't a solution either. Every time you said you wanted to look for someone, he would go out with you. When you came back, you two were covered in sweat, and you were still crying and saying that you could never find them again.

Later, as you got older, it was as if you'd forgotten about it, and you never mentioned wanting to find anyone again.

Lu Zhao was taken aback upon hearing this: "Why didn't you tell me about this before? I had no idea such a thing existed."

"Why am I telling you this?" Lu's mother chuckled. "If I told you, would you go searching the world for someone again? But I never knew who you were looking for when you were little. Back then, I almost thought you were possessed by some evil spirit."

Lu Zhao stared at her aged face in silence for a while before finally speaking: "I know who I was looking for back then."

"you know?"

"Yes, during the year or so that I've been bedridden, I've learned a lot. Mom, you may not be able to accept this right now, but please believe me, what I'm about to say is completely true."

The day before bringing Si Ling back, Lu Zhao had already decided that rather than let his parents suffer another blow, he would rather tell them everything.

Knowing that your daughter is living well in another world is better than knowing that she died in an accident.

As night fell, Si Ling came out of her room, nodded to the mother and daughter who were silent in the living room, and walked straight to the door.

"I'll see you out." Seeing this, Lu Zhao quickly got up to greet her. He and Si Ling put on their shoes together, said goodbye to their mother, and then left together.

The two walked downstairs in silence. Only then did Lu Zhao dare to glance upstairs. Although she had told the old couple everything, for some reason, she didn't feel any relief at all.

“I’ve also had a serious talk with your father,” Si Ling said, letting out a long sigh of relief and deliberately patting her chest. “Discussing these topics with an old man is really difficult.”

Lu Zhao gave a light snort, pulled her to sit on a bench in the community garden, and asked, "What did you talk about with him?"

Si Ling raised an eyebrow slightly. "First, assure him that my feelings for you are genuine, and that I will take good care of you in the future."

“He definitely won’t believe it. We’ve only known each other for a few days in this world.” Lu Zhao pouted, tilted his head, and leaned on her shoulder.

"Yes, your father isn't a stubborn person. He cares about you a lot, especially since you've only just woken up and your heart has been stolen by someone you've known for less than two weeks, and that person is a woman."

Si Ling slowly counted on her fingers as she spoke, adding more and more preconditions, each short sentence like a debuff, which made Lu Zhao extremely frustrated.

"So I just took this opportunity to tell you everything about us."

"Huh?" Lu Zhao sat up straight, looking at her in surprise. "I already told you? Will my dad be able to accept this?"

Si Ling winked at her: "Didn't you tell your mother everything too? Let's each deal with one, wife and wife sharing the work, that way it won't be tiring."

Good grief, each person is dealing with one of them. This isn't like fighting monsters, and they're even distributing experience points.

Lu Zhao was speechless for a moment, and then glanced at his own home upstairs several times with some unease. His voice was muffled: "You have no idea, when I was saying those things, my mom's face was a riot of colors. I even suspected that she was going to drag me to the hospital to have my brain checked the next second."

"Your dad's situation is similar... well, probably a bit worse."

"Do you think they'll believe us?" Lu Zhao was still worried.

Si Ling shrugged helplessly: "There's nothing we can do even if they don't believe us. There's less than half a month left. Whether they accept us or not, we'll have to go back. We don't belong to this world anyway, so we'll have to leave eventually."

That's all the power she can draw upon.

Lu Zhao suddenly felt a headache coming on, buried his head in her arms, and rubbed against her again and again in distress: "I don't care! This is all your fault!"

Sometimes she even felt that it would be better to let her body remain in this world as a vegetable, at least leaving something for her parents to remember her by.
