Chapter 169 Anything produced by Xia Yuhuan is guaranteed to be a masterpiece.
Xia Yuhuan came out of the bathroom at this moment.
"Xiao Jie, what are you doing at your Uncle Chi's place? Come on, let's brush our teeth and wash our faces."
Xia Yuhuan waved to Xiao Jie.
Upon hearing this, He Xiaojie forgot all about Chi Yanzhou's actions and hurriedly climbed to the bedside.
Xia Yuhuan handed him a water cup and a toothbrush, and then handed Chi Yanzhou the same two-piece set.
"You two spit the water you used to brush your teeth into the basin, I'll empty it all in a bit."
The two nodded in unison, looking equally well-behaved.
Soon, both of them finished brushing their teeth. Xia Yuhuan took the basin away and handed them the washed towels to wash their faces.
The two cooperated obediently.
Despite her small stature, He Xiaojie is very self-reliant and does things like washing up quite well.
Xia Yuhuan looked at it with great satisfaction.
Of course, while I was satisfied, I also felt a pang of heartache.
Because she knew very well that Xiao Jie's self-discipline was not something he had cultivated since childhood, but rather an ability that arose from the pressure of his surroundings.
One is actively cultivated, the other is passively changed; there is an inherently insurmountable gap between the two.
Just then, He Xiaojie finished washing his face and obediently handed the towel to Xia Yuhuan.
Xia Yuhuan snapped out of her daze, smiled, took the gift, and reached out to ruffle He Xiaojie's hair: "Xiaojie is great."
He Xiaojie didn't understand what was so praiseworthy about washing one's face.
But when praised, he still smiled and his eyes crinkled, full of laughter.
After Chi Yanzhou and He Xiaojie finished washing up, Xia Yuhuan went to wash up herself.
After taking care of his personal matters, Xia Yuhuan had Xiao Jie lie down so she could check his leg injury and apply some medicine.
With his injuries already exposed, He Xiaojie made no attempt to hide them any longer, obediently lying down and taking off his pants.
Chi Yanzhou's gaze fell on Xiao Jie's leg, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "Xiao Jie's injury..."
Yesterday, my legs were bruised, swollen, and even blackened, but today they have faded by more than half and look much better.
Chi Yanzhou couldn't help but turn his gaze to Xia Yuhuan.
He Xiaojie was also surprised and looked up at Xia Yuhuan as well.
Xia Yuhuan was also somewhat surprised that the medicine she applied to Xiao Jie yesterday was so effective.
However, the performance of the spiritual spring water has always been excellent, so it is normal for its medicinal effects to double when used in medicine.
She smiled and said, "How about that? Aren't I amazing? This is my homemade medicine, isn't it effective?"
"Absolutely stunning." Chi Yanzhou offered this four-word assessment.
If Chi Shaoning and his family saw Xiao Jie's leg today, they would probably think that Xia Yuhuan was lying to them yesterday.
They'll definitely think that Xiao Jie wasn't seriously injured yesterday, and that the injuries were all drawn on by Xia Yuhuan.
However, Chi Yanzhou had personally examined Xiao Jie's injuries and watched Xia Yuhuan apply medicine to Xiao Jie. He knew very well that the injuries were already severe, and it was Xia Yuhuan's medicine that was too miraculous.
How come his wife is so... amazing?
"Hehe, that's right. Anything made by Xia Yuhuan is guaranteed to be top-notch," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.
She applied the medicine to Xiao Jie's body.
I continued to gently massage Xiao Jie, pressing the medicine into his skin to speed up absorption.
Before applying the medicine, Xia Yuhuan told Xiao Jie to tell her if he hurt him.
However, Xiao Jie didn't utter a sound until she finished applying the medicine.
After applying the medicine to Xiao Jie, Xia Yuhuan washed her hands and took Xiao Jie downstairs for breakfast.
When Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya saw Xiao Jie, they felt extremely sorry for him. They talked to him for a while, expressed their concern, and gave him kisses and hugs before going to work.
Xia Yuhuan is still on leave today and doesn't have to go to work. After finishing her meal, she went upstairs to deliver breakfast to Chi Yanzhou.
While Chi Yanzhou was eating breakfast, Xia Yuhuan asked him, "How are you feeling today?"
"It's alright, much better than yesterday. Except for my legs which are still numb, everything else is fine."
"I'll give you acupuncture in a bit, lead you through a set of rehabilitation exercises, and then try to help you get out of bed and walk around," Xia Yuhuan said.
Chi Yanzhou nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. You're an expert in this area."
He was so eager to get back to normal that he did whatever Xia Yuhuan said.
For a while, people ate breakfast much faster.
Xia Yuhuan sensed his urgency and couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.
"Don't be in such a hurry, be careful not to choke."
"You were seriously injured before, almost damaging your spine, and then you were poisoned, which affected your bodily functions, so your recovery will be slower. But as long as you persevere, you will recover in no time."
During this time, she fed him plenty of spiritual spring water, and now his physical condition is absolutely fantastic.
However, due to various factors, he will definitely need to rebuild his ability to control his limbs.
Another reason is that he had been unconscious for too long, and his physical abilities had deteriorated, requiring time to recover.
It's hard to say exactly how long the recovery will take.
However, Xia Yuhuan felt that, given Chi Yanzhou's tendency to wake up earlier than she had anticipated, it shouldn't be long before he did.
"Okay. It's alright. Eating fast is a habit I developed in the army, so I won't choke."
Chi Yanzhou replied, still worried that she would fret about his condition, and slowed down his eating pace.
After breakfast, Xia Yuhuan administered acupuncture to Chi Yanzhou.
"Do you feel any pain or numbness?" Xia Yuhuan asked him.
Chi Yanzhou nodded slightly: "A little bit, but it's acceptable."
In fact, for him, this bit of pain and numbness was nothing at all; it was completely painless and itch-free.
However, he didn't want to influence Xia Yuhuan's judgment of the illness, so he told the truth.
Xia Yuhuan nodded slightly upon hearing this: "That's right. If there are any acupoints that are particularly painful, so painful that you can't stand them, tell me."
Chi Yanzhou agreed.
But his response was limited to that; there was no follow-up.
After Xia Yuhuan finished the acupuncture, he didn't utter a single complaint of pain or say he couldn't bear it.
Xia Yuhuan blinked gently as she looked at his calm expression.
Is your tolerance for stress really that high?
Two or three of the acupoints she had just needled were extremely painful, and she didn't believe that Chi Yanzhou wouldn't feel pain or discomfort.
He didn't utter a sound, which shows how strong his patience was.
Well, if he can tolerate it himself, then let him tolerate it. Anyway, it will only benefit him and not harm him.
Xia Yuhuan thought about it and then ignored him, going to her desk to start preparing the herbal medicine for external application.
By the time Xia Yuhuan had finished preparing the herbal poultice, it was almost time.
She then stepped forward to remove the needle for Chi Yanzhou.
She then helped him lift his feet and asked, "How do your feet feel now?"
Chi Yanzhou thought for a moment: "It seems more relaxed than before, and I don't have that feeling of emptiness that I can't feel at all anymore."
"That's good. You're in great shape. I estimate you'll be able to walk again in a few days."
Chi Yanzhou's eyes lit up: "Will I be back to normal in just a few days?"
