Xiao Haochen and Lin Wanqing set off on a difficult journey in search of special medicinal herbs, filled with hope. They traversed mountains and forests, navigating through areas rarely touched by human feet. As they continued, Lin Wanqing's strength began to wane, and her steps grew heavier.
"Haochen, I can’t go on much longer," Lin Wanqing said breathlessly, her face etched with fatigue.
Xiao Haochen looked at her with concern, reaching out to support her arm. "Wanqing, just a little longer. I remember there might be the herbs we need not far ahead. If you're too tired, I can carry you."
Lin Wanqing shook her head, forcing a faint smile. "No need, I can do this. As long as it can help Grandpa get better, it's all worth it."
They supported each other and pressed on. Finally, in a secluded valley, Xiao Haochen spotted several precious herbs.
"Wanqing, we found them! This is it," Xiao Haochen exclaimed excitedly as he carefully harvested the herbs.
Joy sparkled in Lin Wanqing's eyes. "That's wonderful, Haochen! We finally found them."
With the herbs in hand, they hurried back to the Lin family home. Upon entering, they found family members still embroiled in heated discussions.
Lin Yaozong approached them as soon as he saw them return. "You’re back at last. So what if you found the herbs? This illness isn’t easy to treat."
Ignoring his skepticism, Xiao Haochen walked straight to Grandfather Lin's room. He quickly prepared the herbs into a medicinal soup and fed it to Grandfather Lin spoonful by spoonful.
As they waited for the medicine to take effect, the atmosphere in the room grew tense and suffocating. Lin Wanqing held Xiao Haochen's hand tightly, worry etched across her face.
"Haochen, do you think Grandpa will be okay?" Lin Wanqing asked softly, her voice trembling slightly.
Xiao Haochen patted her hand and comforted her, "He will be fine, Wanqing. Trust me, Grandfather Lin will definitely get better."
As time passed, a hint of color returned to Grandfather Lin's face. Suddenly, he coughed softly.
"Grandpa, you're awake!" Lin Wanqing exclaimed with joy, tears of excitement streaming down her cheeks.
Grandfather Lin slowly opened his eyes and weakly asked, "Wanqing... what happened?"
Xiao Haochen stepped forward and said, "Grandfather Lin, you were ill. Wanqing and I found some herbs and brewed medicine for you. How do you feel now?"
Grandfather Lin looked at Xiao Haochen with gratitude in his eyes. "Good boy, thanks to you..."
At that moment, Lin Yaozong and Lin Yaozu entered the room. Seeing Grandfather Lin awake, they were both astonished.
Lin Yaozong said awkwardly, "I didn't expect... this kid really has some skills."
Lin Yaozu chuckled and said, "Regardless, it's good that the old man is fine. Haochen, we owe you one this time."
Grandfather Lin looked at his family members, his expression turning serious. "I'm not dead yet, and you're all arguing like this. The unity of the family is more important than anything else; you all need to reflect on your actions."
The family members lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Lin Wanqing walked to her grandfather's side and said, "Grandpa, please rest well and don't worry about these matters anymore."
Grandfather Lin nodded and turned to Haochen. "Haochen, not only did you save my life, but you also showed me the hope for our family. I agree with your relationship with Wanqing."
Xiao Haochen and Lin Wanqing exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with happiness. The crisis triggered by Grandfather's serious illness had finally been resolved thanks to Xiao Haochen's dedicated efforts. In the wake of this event, the members of the Lin family began to reflect on their own actions, and the atmosphere within the family quietly began to change. Xiao Haochen knew that he and Lin Wanqing had a long future ahead of them, and they would face more challenges together.
