"OK!"

Yingyue readily agreed.

Huo Cheng raised his eyes, his gaze falling on her, and the corners of his lips curved slightly upward.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On the day Huo Cheng's cast was removed, Liu Qiuyue originally wanted to take a day off, but the hospital had been too busy lately, and she simply couldn't get away.

I can only ask Yingyue for help; thank you for your trouble.

Yingyue didn't find it hard.

More than the hardship, she was afraid that Huo Cheng would be in too much pain when he stood up.

She had read the documents and notes, and knew that when a leg injury patient first got out of bed to start rehabilitation, it was essentially the same as when they first started learning to walk.

For an adult male to learn to walk again, the hardship involved is something only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly understand—just how painful it is.

Yingyue cares about Huo Cheng and is afraid that he will be in pain.

After the plaster cast was completely removed, Wu Minzhe helped Huo Cheng stand up by holding onto the wall. Yingyue stood by with her arms outstretched to protect him, afraid that he would fall.

Do you need me to help you up?

She was very nervous.

Huo Cheng shook his head, his eyes reassuring her not to worry.

"I'll take my time."

Yingyue remained vigilant from the side.

She was able to intervene promptly when Huo Cheng lost his balance and fell.

But as it turns out, Huo Cheng's perseverance is truly remarkable.

Today was the first time in almost two years that he had been able to stand up using both legs, and he was able to stand steadily.

With both hands firmly gripping the wall, I adjusted my breathing and slowly, step by step, moved forward.

"Huo Cheng, slow down."

Yingyue felt sorry for him.

Because she clearly saw Huo Cheng's strange expression, his trembling legs, and his tense arms and shoulders.

"Take your time, don't push yourself too hard the first time."

She spoke up from the side.

Huo Cheng turned to look at her and saw that the little girl's features were all scrunched up, which made his heart ache.

"I'm fine."

I took a deep breath and then slowly, step by step, moved forward.

Wu Minzhe watched silently from the side, but his face was full of admiration.

The willpower of soldiers is truly unmatched by ordinary people.

During his first rehabilitation training session, Huo Cheng walked about ten meters. He wanted to walk more, but his legs were trembling so badly that Wu Minzhe told him to rest.

Almost as soon as Wu Minzhe spoke, Yingyue pressed him back into the wheelchair.

"Don't go, rest."

"You shouldn't overuse your legs at once."

Yingyue kept a straight face, showing no intention of negotiating.

Huo Cheng paused for a moment, then smiled and agreed.

"Okay, I'll listen to Comrade Yingyue."

"Yes, I'm a professional."

Yingyue's serious face.

Wu Minzhe watched their conversation, smiled, and told Yingyue to take good care of Huo Cheng before heading back to work at the hospital.

Although Yingyue is studying at the hospital, she doesn't receive a salary.

It doesn't take up a hospital slot; you can go whenever you want, and if something comes up, you don't have to go.

During Huo Cheng's rehabilitation period, Ying Yue naturally stayed at home to take care of him.

After resting for a while, Huo Cheng felt his strength had recovered, so he stood up and started walking slowly again.

He had been in a wheelchair for far too long, and now that he could walk, he was both excited and anxious.

I want to recover as soon as possible and get back to work.

Only by going back to work can he earn more money and take good care of Yingyue.

"Let's walk for a while, and if we get tired, we must rest. We can't overexert ourselves or strain our legs!"

Yingyue spoke up, giving Huo Cheng some instructions.

Huo Cheng smiled and agreed.

This time, he walked a longer distance than the first time, walking around the living room while holding onto the wall.

Then, urged by Yingyue, he sat back in his wheelchair.

Even though Huo Cheng is able to persevere after starting rehabilitation, he will still need to use a wheelchair for the time being.

It will take at least another ten days to two weeks before I can completely get rid of the wheelchair.

When Liu Qiuyue and the others got home from get off work that evening, the first thing they did was ask Huo Cheng about his leg and how it was doing that day.

Can we go?

"We've walked around three or four times already."

Yingyue took notes on the side, answering as she wrote, "Mom, Huo Cheng is amazing. Most people aren't as amazing as him."

"Hey, it's all thanks to Yingyue for taking such good care of him. The fact that our eldest brother is able to stand up is largely due to you, Yingyue."

Liu Qiuyue couldn't stop smiling.

In her heart, Yingyue was perfect in every way.

Their leader, with Yingyue by his side, even better fortune is yet to come!

After dinner, Huo Cheng took a bath, and Yingyue used the Chinese medicine she had prepared to soak his legs. After the bath, she had him lie on the bed and gave his legs a soothing massage.

Yingyue's actions were truly devoid of any eroticism; she was acting entirely from a doctor's perspective.

She knew nothing about ambiguity or temptation.

(Because Huo Cheng hadn't taught her, and she hadn't seen anyone else do anything ambiguous, she was completely unaware of these things.)

She lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on Huo Cheng's legs. She rolled up her sleeves and carefully massaged his calves, relaxing his tense muscles and allowing the medicine to soothe his calves.

This will prevent muscle spasms caused by overuse of the legs.

Even though it was a very simple task, Yingyue did it with complete focus.

Even so, it made Huo Cheng extremely uncomfortable.

The hands resting on his calves felt less like they were treating his legs and more like ants crawling around inside his body.
