Note: No transmigration, no rebirth, only a small golden finger.

Jiang Ruyu gets into a fight with her cousin from the next room over a job vacancy. She suffers an injury to her forehead but ...

Chapter 149 shows a reaction (tushumi.cc)

"Call me Uncle. Speaking of which, I used to hold you when you were little. Your mother brought you to visit relatives back then, and we were all so fond of you. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Looking at Jiang Ruyu, Fang Chenggong inevitably thought of how a group of them had scrambled to have Jianjun's daughter back then. Because all of them had sons, only Jianjun's family had a soft little girl who was fair-skinned and chubby. They even jokingly wanted to arrange a marriage between their daughter and Jianjun. Who would have thought that times would change so much.

Jiang Ruyu had no idea that Fang Chenggong was thinking so far ahead. She didn't remember much from her childhood, only a vague recollection of going with her mother to visit her father at the army base. Several boys her age vied to play with her, but she didn't go back often after that. And then there was her father…

"Uncle Fang, you have such a good memory, I didn't remember at all."

"Haha, you were still little back then."

After catching up with Jiang Ruyu for a while, Fang Chenggong thought of Jiang Lin and turned to Guan Jin to ask, "How is Jiang Lin doing?"

Guan Jin glanced at Jiang Lin in the ward: "His vital signs are normal, and his injuries are all external. They have been stitched up and treated. However, he is unconscious. My idea is to have someone he cares about or who is close to him try to wake him up or stimulate his nerves to see if he can sense the outside world and wake up sooner."

Fang Chenggong looked at Jiang Ruyu and nodded: "Then let's do it your way."

"Yes, sir." Guan Jin looked at Jiang Ruyu: "Comrade Jiang, I'll take you to change into sterile clothing."

Jiang Ruyu quickly nodded: "Uncle Fang, I'll go first."

Fang Chenggong nodded, and Jiang Ruyu followed Guan Jin to change into a slightly green sterile gown, and put on a white hat, mask, and shoes that were theirs.

After changing his clothes, he didn't go out but went straight into Jiang Lin's ward through one of the inner doors. Fang Chenggong and his bodyguard stood outside the ward watching.

Jiang Ruyu couldn't hold back her tears as soon as she saw Jiang Lin. She stepped forward and saw that there wasn't a single unscathed spot on Jiang Lin's body. Her hand trembled as she wanted to touch Jiang Lin, but she was afraid of hurting him.

Finally, her hand landed on Jiang Lin's hand, and she muttered, "Da Linzi, why are you being so obedient? You're such a lively and playful person, it must be uncomfortable for you to be lying in bed. Wake up quickly, okay? You haven't seen your niece yet, have you?"

Sweetie and Huanhuan can sit up now. Let's go back and see them when you're better. Can you teach them to call you "Uncle"? If you don't get up soon, she'll only recognize Jiang Hui as her uncle and won't recognize you, her little uncle.

While Jiang Ruyu was speaking, Guan Jin was observing Jiang Lin's reaction. Her eyes were fixed on Jiang Lin. Just as Jiang Ruyu was talking about trivial matters at home, Jiang Lin's eyelids twitched. Guan Jin was sure she hadn't seen wrong.

Jiang Ruyu didn't know if Jiang Lin felt anything, but she received a system notification: "Host, a life form that has fallen into deep hibernation has been detected near you. It activated its self-protection mechanism after its absolute defense was activated due to the impact on its body."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruyu couldn't help but ask, "Then how can we wake him up?"

"Don't you have traditional Chinese medicine in your time? Your outpouring of your feelings can help him wake up sooner, and with the help of acupuncture, it will be even faster."

"Thank you, system."

The system remained silent. Jiang Ruyu looked up at Guan Jin and asked, "Dr. Guan, does your hospital have any traditional Chinese medicine practitioners? The kind who can perform acupuncture?"

Guan Jin looked over: "You want to stimulate him with acupuncture?"

"I don't understand either. I just want him to wake up sooner. I can't let him stay unconscious like this."

Guan Jin pursed her lips: "When you were talking to him just now, his eyelids twitched, which means my previous prediction was correct."

Jiang Ruyu sensed that the female doctor in front of her was a little unhappy. She guessed that the doctor might think she didn't trust her medical skills. She could only explain, "Dr. Guan, please don't misunderstand. I just want Jiang Lin to wake up as soon as possible. If you haven't tried traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture before, I hope you can apply to your superiors to give it a try, even if it doesn't work."

Guan Jin looked at Jiang Ruyu in silence for a long time before nodding: "I understand. I will apply to the leader. You should continue to talk to him about your family matters; it will be helpful."

Jiang Ruyu nodded: "I know, I hope Dr. Guan doesn't mind, I didn't mean to distrust you."

Guan Jin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled apologetically: "I was too arrogant. I should have thought of that sooner."

Guan Jin is a pure Western doctor. She has more faith in instrument testing and in the scalpel in her hand. It's not that she doesn't believe in the mysterious and esoteric aspects of traditional Chinese medicine, but she trusts herself more.

Guan Jin walked out, and Jiang Ruyu looked at Jiang Lin: "You can hear what your sister is saying, right? If you can, wake up quickly, Jiang Lin. I don't want to see you lying motionless in the hospital bed; it reminds me of what Mom was like back then."

Jiang Lin, Grandma is getting old. She knows I'm worried about you coming out, but she doesn't say anything. And Grandpa's health has been getting worse these past two years. You don't want them to worry about you even more, do you?

Wake up soon, we're all waiting for you. Jiang Hui is already married, and you two are the same age. By then, his kids will be old enough to run errands, and you still won't have a wife. He'll laugh at you again.

Jiang Ruyu went to lunch. Jiang Lin is currently receiving the nutrients his body needs through nasal feeding, which is why Jiang Ruyu wants him to wake up as soon as possible.

After eating a little, Jiang Ruyu returned to the ward and saw several people inside. One of them was a slightly older male doctor who took her pulse for a long time before taking out a cloth bag.

Jiang Ruyu didn't see how the doctor performed the acupuncture, but she saw Guan Jin suddenly widen her eyes, looking incredulous, and then see her peering out the window.

She nodded and told Jiang Ruyu that Jiang Lin had responded. Jiang Ruyu jumped up with joy, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

Jiang Ruyu waited outside the door for about half an hour. When the group came out, Guan Jin saw the others off and came back to tell her, "Jiang Lin had a big reaction during the acupuncture. Old Huang just said that you should talk to him more. He will have another acupuncture session tomorrow, and he should wake up soon."

"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you so much, Dr. Guan." Jiang Ruyu was overjoyed and could only keep saying thank you.

Guan Jin was also very happy. She had known Jiang Lin for a long time. She had treated Jiang Lin twice before when she was injured and came to the hospital. This time, Jiang Lin was seriously injured, but she couldn't save her. She was actually feeling bad.

"No need to thank me, Jiang Lin and I are friends, I would say."

Jiang Ruyu glanced at her upon hearing this. The implication was that Jiang Lin had been here before, and that the two of them must have crossed paths before.

Guan Jin looked at Jiang Lin through the window, her eyes filled with unspoken emotions.
