Wen Nian turned around and assured, “Got it. Just sit tight. We’ll be back soon.”

When they arrived at the conveyor belt, Shen Jun adamantly refused to let Wen Nian move it, no matter what. After carefully maneuvering all the items down the transport belt, Shen Jun proceeded to fetch two trolleys and skillfully stacked the three suitcases onto a single cart.

In the situation where two people were required to push the cart, an obstacle arose as Wen Xing had difficulty walking. Shen Jun contemplated the predicament and swiftly proposed a solution, saying, “I’ll assist in pushing the luggage towards the exit with you initially. Once we reach there, you can stay and keep an eye on the luggage. Meanwhile, I’ll personally accompany Uncle and assist him out of here.”

Unable to come up with a better solution, Wen Nian acquiesced and followed Shen Jun’s instructions.

Once Shen Jun had successfully carried Wen Xing out, Wen Nian sought the assistance of a staff member to help him push the cart to the location where the taxi was waiting.

Fortunately, Wen Nian was able to successfully hail a car. Shen Jun carefully carried Wen Xing into the vehicle, and the three of them struggled to fit all six suitcases inside.

After providing the address, the driver proceeded directly to their destination without any detours.

Wen Nian hastily rushed Wen Xing to the hospital, all the while asking Shen Jun, “Shen Jun, is there a closer hospital to the hotel where we’re staying? Is there a better option?”

Shen Jun settled into the front passenger seat and retrieved his phone, opening the map. He informed the others, “On the route from the airport to our hotel, there’s a branch of the military hospital. It’s a decent option. It’s just about a kilometer away from our hotel. Let’s head to that hospital.”

Wen Nian nodded and engaged in a discussion with Shen Jun. “Shen Jun, I’d like to accompany my father to the doctor first. Could you assist me by taking my luggage to the hotel later?”

Aware of the inconvenience of carrying his luggage everywhere, Shen Jun recognized that separating their tasks was the most efficient course of action, despite his desire to be with Wen Nian. He stated, “Take your luggage to the hotel. I’ll accompany Uncle to the hospital. Assisting him with walking might exacerbate his condition.”

Aside from family and close friends, it’s uncommon for individuals to seek assistance from their classmates when it comes to medical treatment. Even someone as resilient as Wen Nian felt too embarrassed to make such a request. Consequently, she declined the offer, stating, “It’s alright. I’ll support my father and help him walk slowly.”

Observing the situation, Shen Jun ceased his efforts to convince Wen Nian and turned to Wen Xing, saying, “Uncle, Wen Nian may not have enough strength. Allow me to accompany you to the hospital.”

Wen Xing, burdened with despair, felt responsible for not contributing and even causing trouble since his arrival in the capital. He spoke up, addressing Nian Nian and Shen Jun, “Nian Nian, Shen Jun, it’s not a significant issue for me. I can simply apply some medicine and rest at the hotel. There’s no need to go to the hospital.”

Wen Xing regretted asking those questions, realizing that he had posed three inquiries.

Nevertheless, Shen Jun agreed with Wen Nian’s decision to bring Wen Xing to the hospital for a checkup. Considering Wen Xing’s age, he recognized the importance of being cautious, especially in his forties. Failing to address any potential health concerns now could potentially lead to more significant complications in the future.

Shen Jun directed his gaze towards Wen Xing and gently urged, “Uncle, please don’t consider it a bother for us. If you don’t go for a checkup, Wen Nian won’t be able to focus on her filming. You’re here to take care of her, and if you neglect your health, the situation could worsen. It will only cause more worry and distraction for Wen Nian if she sees you in pain. By seeking treatment early, you can recover faster. Otherwise, you’ll be confined to bed day after day, unable to engage in anything, which will only increase your anxiety.”

Upon hearing Shen Jun’s reasoning, Wen Xing recognized the validity of the argument and let go of his stubbornness. He cast a glance at Wen Nian’s frail figure, feeling a touch of embarrassment, but still managed to smile at Shen Jun and expressed, “Shen Jun, I will rely on you this time. Once I regain my mobility, I promise to cook delicious meals for both you and Wen Nian every day. While my culinary skills may not match those of your aunt’s, 1 excel at making nourishing soups. I’ll ensure you’re well taken care of.”

Shen Jun’s lips curled up into a slight smile as he responded, “Alright, I’ll gladly drink a few more bowls of your nourishing soup when the time comes.”

Fortunately, Zhao Wu was absent from the scene at that moment. Otherwise, if he had witnessed Shen Jun’s obedience and cooperation with outsiders, his jaw would have surely dropped in surprise. He might have even felt the need to capture the moment as a memento and tease Shen Jun about it later.

With the matter resolved, Wen Nian no longer insisted on her initial concerns. She realized that, as always, when facing Shen Jun, she no longer needed to worry.

Wen Nian addressed the driver, saying, “Excuse me, driver. Could you please stop at the second affiliated branch of the military hospital?”

Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital entrance. Shen Jun stepped out of the car and went to the back seat to assist Wen Xing. Then, he extended his hand towards Wen Nian and requested, “Could you please unlock your phone and hand it to me?”

Despite feeling slightly puzzled, Wen Nian obediently handed over her phone to Shen Jun.

Shen Jun briefly operated on Wen Nian’s phone screen for a minute before returning it to her. He said, “That’s enough. Take care and give me a call when you arrive.”

As the car drove away, Shen Jun took another photo of the license plate number.

Wen Xing expressed his contentment with Shen Jun’s careful actions. Curiosity piqued, he asked, “I noticed you were typing a lot of English letters on Wen Nian’s phone just now. It reminded me of those codes that programmers type on television.. What was that all about?”
