A health check-up was carried out for all staff in the Tax Bureau a few days ago. The reports came out today. Holding the report in her hand, He Li said excitedly,
I’ll take this back home for Bang Bang to have a look and check if there are any issues.

At that moment, Su Yun walked into the office. He Li called to her,
Little Su, grab your health report after work and come to my place. I’ll help you check.

Su Yun was confused.

My son’s company has developed a new product recently. It’s called the ‘Bang Bang Robot’ and it’s very powerful…
With a proud expression, He Li introduced the many strengths of the Bang Bang robot.
Su Yun’s eyes widened in disbelief.
It’s really so powerful?




You’ll know once you see it at my place.

Su Yun nodded repeatedly.
I’ll go, I’ll go immediately after work.
She was really interested in such a powerful robot!
…

Beep~! Your blood pressure is slightly higher than average. It is suggested that you cut down on daily intakes of oily food, salt, and sugar. Eat more melons and vegetables. Your diet should be cleaner and not too flavorful. Exercise more… If you heed Bang Bang’s advice, it is predicted that this issue will be resolved in three months.
The Bang Bang robot gave its advice after scanning the few sheets of the report.

Blood pressure is slightly higher than average?
He Li reacted as if she had been struck by lightning. Shocked, she held her head in both hands.
Ah… I was wondering why my head felt swollen and dizzy recently. I’m finished. My high blood pressure, ah… I can’t do this.
Her body was swaying and it looked like she was about to faint.
Chen Jin was exasperated.
Mom, stop scaring yourself. It’s the dishes that you frequently make. You put too much salt in them. And you love eating Dongpo braised pork. Of course your blood pressure will be higher than normal. Change your diet and you’ll be fine.


Yes, yes, yes. I can’t eat Dongpo braised pork anymore. I’ll try my best to put less salt and oil in my dishes and I’ll exercise more. I must bring down my blood pressure!
He Li patted her chest as she comforted herself. She was determined.
Chen Gang opened his mouth to speak. He wanted to say,
Wife, your high blood pressure is related to your personality too. You’re too violent and easily agitated. You have to change this…
After some thought, however, he swallowed his words for fear of a beating.
Beside them, Su Yun was pressing her lips together to stop herself from roaring out in laughter.
The robot scanned her health report.
Beep~! Your body is very healthy. All indicators are in the normal ranges. Please maintain your excellent lifestyle habits and positive mood. Enjoy your wonderful life.




There are no problems, haha!
Su Yun was rejoicing. She usually took care of her diet, work-rest balance, and often played badminton with her roommate, Li Xiao Lan. Indeed, she had a healthy body in return for her efforts.
He Li said enviously,
It’s good to be young.
She thought back on her younger days, but alas, it was gone in the blink of an eye and she still had no grandchildren at this old age! Thinking about this, her resentful gaze swung towards Chen Jin. She regretted betting with him in the past over this matter.

Oh yes, I have another report here that Bang Bang can scan.
Su Yun took out another stack of reports from her bag.
He Li asked,
Whose report is this?


Li Xiao Lan’s. She caught a cold recently and has a fever, so she took a few days to rest in the dorm. She told me to help her collect her report.


Let’s scan it too.

The robot started scanning. However, this particular scanning process was extremely long. There were no results even after five minutes. Suddenly, a tiny light on Bang Bang’s chest started to flash red.
An early stage acute lymphoblastic leukemia is suspected. Accuracy of diagnosis is 78%. Please proceed to a hospital for a review. If the diagnosis is confirmed, receive treatment immediately.

Gasp!
Everyone was shocked!
Su Yun was stunned.
Xiao Lan only has a fever from the cold. How can this be leukemia? This… This is impossible.



Chen Jin said,
The Bang Bang robot’s conclusions are not 100% accurate. It could be wrong. Why don’t you bring your friend to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up? If it’s a groundless scare, then it means that the robot needs more improvement. If it’s really acute leukemia, she would have to undergo treatment immediately!

He Li said,
Li Xiao Lan is usually very vivacious and healthy, how could she get leukemia? I hope it’s just a scare.
Li Xiao Lan was also her subordinate that she saw on a regular basis. Such a healthy, young adult could also be stricken with leukemia?
However, this matter was not absolute. Leukemia was not a hereditary disease. 95% of all leukemia patients were diagnosed with the acute form of the disease and many of them were seemingly healthy. However, once the diagnosis was confirmed, effective treatment should be carried out immediately. The longest that one could survive with this disease untreated was six months, and the shortest was one week. It was a terrifying illness.
Just on the off-chance that it was the worst case scenario, Su Yun would bring Li Xiao Lan to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up.
Hmm, I understand.
Su Yun nodded repeatedly. Li Xiao Lan was her best friend. She really hopes that the Bang Bang robot made a mistake and it was simply the common cold. However, the robot had an accuracy rate of 78%. The red light that would not stop flashing cast a shadow on her mind.
…
The analysis of the reports had ended. Su Yun remarked that she would be leaving, but He Li insisted that she stay for dinner. Thereafter, Su Yun saw Bang Bang robot carrying plates of food from the kitchen. After dinner, it nimbly cleared and tidied up the table. Putting on waterproof gloves, it started washing the utensils that were in the basin.
She silently extolled, This robot really is too amazing!
He Li then asked her to stay the night. Su Yun refused repeatedly, saying,
Xiao Lan still has a fever, I need to go back to check on her. And I have to let her know about her report and the conclusions by the Bang Bang Robot.


Ok, son, send Xiao Su back.

Su Yun said that there was no need for that, but Chen Jin had already put on a coat and taken the car keys.
Let’s go, I’ll drive you back. There’s something else that I want to speak to you about.



Su Yun looked at him in confusion. What did he want to say to her?
The two went downstairs and got into the Benz.
Chen Jin leaned closer and said into her ear,
I’ve received more than 10 calls from your mother these past few days. It’s all about one thing. When will we get married? Your mother says that she had already spread the news to all the relatives and friends from your hometown. They’re looking forward to our wedding banquet. They even say that I should visit your home at the end of the year… Say, isn’t your mother too impatient?

Su Yun’s face was flushed all over, resembling a red cloth. A buzzing sound rang in her ears and she lowered her head, at a loss for words.

Su Yun, what do you think we should do?
Looking at her behavior, Chen Jin playfully tossed the question to her with a smile.

I…. I don’t know.
Su Yun shook her head. She was 27, almost 28. Her parents were naturally worried since she was still unmarried at this age. She understood her parents’ impatience. But, this misunderstanding was too much. She did not even dare to tell the truth to her parents as she was afraid that they could not accept it. She could only look at him helplessly.
Chen Jin, what do you think we should do? Why don’t you explain it to my parents, that we are only ordinary friends… I don’t dare to say anything, I don’t want to disappoint them.
Moreover, her relatives and friends back home knew all about it. If it turned out to be nothing, in the end, her parents would lose face…
Ah! What ill fate!
Su Yun felt a sense of bitterness well up in her. She realized that he was the one with all the power to initiate everything. She had lost her freedom to take independent action.

I don’t plan to marry at such an early age. I’ve told your Mom that I’m still building up my business and there is a high risk of failure. I don’t want to drag others down with me if that happens. I’ve said that I’ll consider starting a family after my business has become more successful after one to two years. Your Mom says that it’s ok. She asked if I need a loan; she could borrow a few hundred thousand to support my start-up… but I’ll definitely refuse the money. But I’ve at least secured a year. Your mother agreed to wait for a year. So, your mom will not put her full strength into rushing us towards marriage for this year. I don’t know how she will behave next year… That would depend on how my company is doing. Hey, Miss Su, there’s been something that I’ve been wanting to ask you. What do you think of me? Do you think I meet the standard for us to get a license?

As she heard this, she lowered her head to the point that it was almost touching her knees. Her body trembled and she felt too shy to look at him, much less answer his question. Her mind was blank as she kept muttering over and over,
This is not real; this is not possible…
She understood the meaning behind his words. This man, who was filled with an inner radiance, was actually willing to consider her, who was merely a Cinderella, as someone he could wed.
