Genshin Impact: Teyvat High School

"Where's Xiaotao?"

"Master, Miss Walnut will be here soon."

"Oh, I can't lie like this anymore."

A white-haired old man was lying on a blue and white hospital bed, struggling to support himself with his hands...

"Master, you are weak, just take a good rest!"

The woman in black immediately put down the thin book in her hand, walked over to stop the old man before he could get up, and asked him to lie down and rest.

"How can I do this in front of Xiaotao?"

The old man suddenly looked at the woman next to him and continued:

"Hel me up!"

The woman paused, but still wanted the old man to lie down and rest.

"Master, just lie down and have a good rest. The doctor said you need to rest!"

"I told you to help me up!"

The old man suddenly spoke loudly.

"..."

Faced with this stubborn old man, the woman was at a loss. She thought it would be useless to continue being so stubborn, so she had to agree with the old man.

"Okay... Master, I'll help you up."

"I don't care what the doctor says. As long as my bones are not broken, I can't act so weak in front of Xiao Tao!"

"Hall Master..."

"After all, she will soon be the head of the Wangsheng Hall, and she will also wear the Qiankun hat!"

"Okay, slow down...

The old man got out of bed, picked up the crutch beside him, supported himself on it with both hands, walked to the window of the hospital and looked at the scenery outside.

The old man's ward is on the 10th floor and he can see quite a lot of places.

"..."

"..."

The ward became quiet...

“The scenery here is really nice.”

The old man suddenly said

"Yes, this hospital is located in the center of the city. The ward you are in is on a high floor and you can overlook most of the city!"

"Yes, how much is the medical expense..."

"..."

"Adu? Tell me how much the medical expenses are."

The woman in black looked at the wrinkled profile of the old man.

The hall master has been taking care of me all the year round, and he is very serious about me and the people in the hall. In fact, the hall master knows that the Wangsheng Hall can hardly make any money, but he still insists on doing so, and still pays the salary on time every month... If the hall master hadn't saved me back then, I would probably have died long ago. At least I want to repay the kindness...

"What are you staring at?"

The old man suddenly turned around and asked the woman.

"Ah, Master, I will pay for the medical expenses, so you don't have to worry."

"what?"

The old man suddenly turned his head to look at the woman next to him with a very surprised expression.

"Cough-cough-"

But the old man was too excited and had a severe cough.

"Master, you are weak, so go lie down on the bed for a while!"

The old man shook his hands and said:

"Need not!"

The old man turned and looked out the window again.

"It's nice to take in the scenery here. This is the first time I've seen this scenery. I didn't expect that the small town with only tiled houses has become a big city with tall buildings."

The corners of the old man's mouth rose slightly.

"Yes, Master, things have changed a lot now!"

"But let Wangsheng Hall pay for the medical expenses. You've worked at Wangsheng Hall for so many years, and your salary isn't high. Why are you the one paying for it?"

"No, that's not necessary, Master. My family is quite wealthy, so this little money is nothing! Besides, if you hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago. I have never had the chance to repay your kindness, so let me just treat this as a way of repaying your kindness, even though it is so insignificant compared to this."

The old man seemed angry and angrily knocked the ground with his cane.

"Do you want me, an old man, to owe others a debt after I die?"

"No, Master, that's not what I meant..."

"Adu, I know you mean well, but some things are better left to them to do themselves."

"..."

Alas... the master is still so stubborn...

"Okay, Master, I'll listen to you then... But how can I repay your kindness?"

"Adu, you have worked in the Wangsheng Hall for so many years, and you no longer have any gratitude."

"No, Master, this is just an ordinary job!"

"Hey~ If you really want to repay me, then take good care of my granddaughter Xiaotao. After all, Xiaotao is the one I am most worried about."

"Okay, Master, don't worry, I will!"

"Okay...how much is the medical bill?"

"Um……"

The woman took out the receipt and took a look at it...

So much?! Even with the medical insurance card, it's still too much. No, if I ask the hall master to pay for it all, I'm afraid he will...

"Thirty, thirty thousand dollars."

"Thirty thousand? Oh, A'Du, you can't hide this from me. The cost of a heart transplant is probably much more than that!"

"No, Master, that's really all. Because there is no heart available for transplant, the operation has not been carried out. The hospital has been waiting for a dying patient to agree to donate his heart. The patient has agreed, but the family members have not agreed."

The old man sighed.

"Ah~ I didn't expect that the Hall of Rebirth didn't make any sense, but instead added a lot of expenses."

"After all, people in our line of work don't want to have business. That's what you said, Hall Master."

"Yeah, others are afraid of having no business, but we are afraid of having business, hahahaha!"

"Hahaha……"

Amidst the laughter, the old man suddenly said something serious:

"Tell the hospital not to wait for someone to donate a heart. I don't need one."

The woman's smile froze on her face. She turned to look at the old man and said in surprise:

"Ah?! Hall Master, you... you are kidding me!"

"I'm not kidding. There's no point in my old bones living that long, so I'd better go there sooner rather than later."

"But, but what about the Hall of Rebirth?"

"Don't we have Xiao Tao? I believe she can inherit it."

"but……"

Suddenly, the door of the ward was opened, and a girl with twin ponytails and special plum blossom-shaped eyes appeared.

"Hey, Grandpa, are you feeling better?"

The old man turned around with the help of his crutch, and the woman next to him also turned around to look over.

"Xiao Tao, you're here." The old man said with a smile.

"Grandpa, aren't you fine normally? Why are you suddenly..."

"Hehehe, Grandpa, I'm actually fine. It's just that A'Du is worrying about me... It's just some minor illnesses. A'Du is worrying about me for no reason!"

"oh?!"

The old man patted his chest and said with a smile: "Look, I am fine... ahem... hehe! Hehe!"

"Hall Master..."

The woman looked at the old man, at a loss.

The old man suddenly turned to the woman and said:

"Hey! A'Du has nothing to do with you now, you should go back to the hall first. You and Xiao Tao are both out, so there's probably no one in the hall!"

"Master, there is still..."

The old man interrupted the woman before she could finish her words.

"Hey~Adu, besides Xiaotao, you are the one I trust the most in this Wangsheng Hall, so just listen to me."

"Yes, Miss Ferryman, please go back to the hall. Maybe there are more orders!"

The woman in black glanced at Walnut and then at the old man.

"Hey~ Okay, okay, I'll go back to the hall. Bye, Hall Master, remember to take care of yourself!"

"Yeah, got it. Adu, go quickly!"

"Yes, Miss Ferryman! Go, go!"

"..."

The woman looked at the two men, not knowing what to say.

Oh, forget it, let them be. The hall master has been hiding it.

The woman in black picked up the thin book she had just put down and walked out of the ward.

"grandfather……"

"Xiao Tao, this place makes me feel uncomfortable. Let's go somewhere!"

"Grandpa, where are you going?"

"Xiao Tao, just come with grandpa."

"Oh……"

The old man held a cane and walked unsteadily out of the ward.

"Grandpa, let me help you!"

"Haha, okay, okay, thank you Xiaotao."

The girl reached out her hand to support the old man, and walked slowly out of the ward step by step to the elevator door.

The elevator was not on their floor.

"Grandpa, let me help you press it!"

Kurumi playfully stretched out a finger and pressed the elevator button.

"Hmm... the elevator is on the first floor. Grandpa, it looks like we'll have to wait for a while..."

"There's no rush, there's plenty of time."

Ding--

The elevator arrived and the door opened slowly.

There were already quite a few people crowded inside, but there were still empty seats.

The old man took Walnut and slowly walked into the elevator.

"What are you doing?! Are you getting old and confused? Can't you see that the elevator is already full?"

Suddenly, a fat man stood up and blocked the elevator entrance, probably because he thought the old and the young were easy to bully.

"Hey, you! Isn't there an empty seat here?"

"I said there's no vacancy, that's it!"

"Aren't you bullying an honest person?"

"I just bully you guys, so what! What can you do to me?!"

"Hey, You……"

"Forget it, Xiao Tao, let's just wait for the next trip. There's no rush, no... ahem - no rush."

"..."

"Forget it, I won't bother with you!"

Walnut held Grandpa's hand as the elevator door slowly closed...
