章節 619: A Debt of Gratitude Must be Repaid (3)

"Mrs. Li, it's me, Zhou Chao. Remember? I'm the guy who had the accident shortly after the college entrance exam, and you made me a lot of soup back then." Zhou Chao approached Li Xuemei and spoke softly.

Upon hearing Zhou Chao's words, Li Xuemei's eyes lit up. She quickly recalled and carefully scrutinized Zhou Chao for a moment before smiling and saying, "Zhou Chao? It's you, my boy! It's been so many years, you look like a different person now. Much more handsome than before. It seems like you're doing well. Good for you!"

Li Xuemei nodded approvingly, feeling comforted by her student's success.

"It's good to hear you're doing well. I just got back to Fuzhou a few days ago, and I heard from Shu Lijuan that you were hospitalized, so I came to check on you."

"Thanks for your concern, but there's nothing serious. Just a minor ailment. I'll be discharged in a few days," Li Xuemei replied with a smile, though a hint of strain flickered across her lips.
