A moment later, a soft knock came from the door of the ward. The door was then pushed open, and a beautiful, slightly alluring girl walked in, carrying a metal lunchbox in both hands, which she pushed in with her slender arms.
The girl was Xia Yumo. As soon as she arrived, she saw Yang Feng and Yang Lianqing sitting on the hospital bed. A hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. She didn't expect Yang Feng to recover so quickly.
She pursed her red lips, walked to the bedside, placed the metal lunchbox in her hand on the table, and looked at Yang Feng who ignored her. A sense of disappointment flashed through her heart, after all, she had not been very nice to him when he came to her house the day before yesterday.
"Um... Yang Feng, my dad asked me to come and check on you. Also, the bird's nest on this table is something I made myself; it's very nourishing."
Actually, it wasn't Xia Guoliang who asked her to come; she wanted to see Yang Feng on her own. His calm and confident demeanor that day, his superb medical skills that saved her mother, and his extraordinary martial arts skills made her feel very safe by his side.
Moreover, he's quite handsome. Although his grades aren't good, what he's showing now is enough to touch her heart. If his grades were good, she doesn't know how many rivals she'd have.
"No need. I've already told your Xia family that from now on, we will have no further dealings. You can leave."
Yang Feng glanced at Xia Yumo out of the corner of his eye, his expression icy cold.
"Yang Feng... I'm sorry, it was my fault before, can you forgive me?" Xia Yumo heard his merciless words, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, and she said softly.
"Forgive? Are you wrong?" Yang Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression somewhat mocking, and said, "It's normal for rich people like you to look down on us because we're poor. Take these tonics away, I don't want to see you again."
Xia Yumo felt terrible. She bit her red lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, making her look pitiful.
"Don't play the victim here. I despise people like you the most. Now get out of here!"
Yang Feng's eyes were cold as he spoke directly. His younger sister, who was standing to the side, was a little dumbfounded. She had never seen her brother so indifferent before. However, in her eyes, he looked so handsome, especially his ruthless rejection of other girls. For some reason, she felt particularly comfortable.
"I...I know you're angry with us. It's all our fault for treating you badly. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xia Yumo bowed slightly in apology, tears falling from her eyes and pattering onto the wooden floor.
"You're overthinking it. I'm just a poor student with no future. It's normal for your wealthy family to treat me badly."
Yang Feng took a sip of milk, looked out the window, and said:
“Go back and tell your father that I saved everyone in your Xia family that day as repayment of a debt of gratitude. We will never have anything to do with your Xia family again. You can leave now.”
Buzz!
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yumo's head started buzzing. She couldn't hold back any longer, and tears streamed down her beautiful face, making her fair skin look like a pear blossom in the rain.
He would never have any connection with their family again, which meant that Yang Feng was severing ties with them.
She was filled with remorse. If only she had treated Yang Feng better, even if her parents had treated him badly, none of this would have happened.
Regret? Is there a pill to undo regret in this world?
"Yang Feng...she's crying like this." Yang Lianqing felt a pang of pity and tugged at her brother's sleeve, whispering.
"Ignore her." Yang Feng simply said, then turned to Xia Yumo and said coldly, "Don't cry here. I need to rest. Go cry outside. Also, take all your things and get out."
Hearing her cold voice again, Xia Yumo felt even more aggrieved. Tears streamed down her face. She turned around, pushed open the door, and ran out, leaving behind the bird's nest soup.

Chapter 29 Discharge from the Hospital
Yang Feng sighed softly, glanced at his sister, and then his cell phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Wu Miaoyin, the owner of the coffee shop. Indeed, she had skipped work yesterday without asking for leave.
She answered the phone and slowly said, "Hello, is this Sister Wu? I was sick yesterday and forgot to ask for leave. I'm so sorry."
He naturally didn't want to lose his job. After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Wu Miaoyin said, "It's okay, it's okay. You should focus on getting better first. By the way, weren't the music you played here recorded by many customers and posted online?"
Yang Feng's brow twitched slightly, and he nodded, replying, "Yes, is there... a problem?"
"Of course there's no problem. It's just that there's a music festival and piano competition being held in Yanjing next month. A representative from the organizer came to our coffee shop yesterday afternoon to hand out an invitation, which is here with us now. He said it's up to you to consider whether you want to participate."
Wu Miaoyin held her phone in one hand and the red invitation in the other, and said.
"Oh, I see. Are you going to the music festival?" Yang Feng felt a bit bored. Going might interfere with his studies, so it was better to focus on studying. "No need, I don't plan to go. You can tell them."
"Aren't you going to participate? I heard the prizes are really generous this time. The first place winner gets a 300,000 yuan prize and guidance from a famous foreign musician named Da Vinci. I still encourage you to participate. Maybe she'll take a liking to you and you could be the next international pianist!"
Wu Miaoyin was puzzled. Why not take this great opportunity? It was really strange. Not only was there money involved, but it could also pave a smooth path for her future.
"No need, no need, Sister Wu, my studies are my priority right now, so..."
Before Yang Feng could finish speaking, he heard a sweet voice in his mind, like a silver bell.
"Yang Feng, the system has given you a mission. The mission is for the profession [Music]. Participate in the Huaxia Yanjing Music Festival and win first place in the competition. Difficulty: Two stars. Reward for success: One profession enhancement scroll. Reward for failure: Whip."
Yang Feng's expression froze. He had just refused, and now a mission had come. It was really something; why did it have to come at the wrong time?
"Alright then, Sister Wu, you can return the invitation. Take good care of yourself and get well soon," Wu Miaoyin said.
"Hey, no, Sister Wu, I'd better go participate." Yang Feng felt a little embarrassed and said helplessly.
"You went to another one?" Wu Miaoyin almost hung up the phone, raising her eyebrows slightly as she asked.
“Yes, let’s participate,” Yang Feng said.
"Alright then, you can come to the coffee shop anytime and take the invitation. The concert is the day after tomorrow, remember that."
Wu Miaoyin thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Okay, that's all for now, I'm hanging up." Yang Feng nodded, then hung up the phone, let out a long sigh, and looked at his younger sister beside him, whose eyes were filled with confusion.
"Yang Feng, what did you say you were going to participate in? Was that a woman on the other end of the phone? Her voice sounded so sweet." Yang Lianqing pouted slightly, a hint of sourness in her voice, and asked a series of questions.
"She's my boss, don't overthink it," Yang Feng said, amused by his sister's slight jealousy.
"Really? We agreed to be each other's single dogs, you can't go back on your word, or I'll grab a pair of scissors and snip off your little brother."
