"Of course I believe you. I believe whatever you say."
Xia Che tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips and to keep his facial features composed so that Jiang Yu wouldn't notice anything amiss. Knowing full well what was going on, he asked, "What miracle?"
"My legs... seem to be regaining some feeling?"
Jiang Yu patted her knees, and Xia Che looked over. The two of them had just climbed out of the sea, and their clothes were soaked. They were still lying on the beach waiting to dry.
The clothes they are wearing now are the ones Xia Che bought from the convenience store.
Wearing two T-shirts and two shorts, Jiang Yu was sitting on the beach wearing a pair of denim shorts. Having worn long pants for many years, her skin was fair and tender. Although she had some scars, they were not ugly at all, but rather pitiful.
Under the bright sunshine, Xia Che only glanced at it before quickly looking away.
So white...
It's too dazzling!
Xia Che was busy saving people and helping Jiang Yu resolve her inner conflicts. He was so busy that he didn't have time to pay attention to Jiang Yu's figure. Now that everything was finally resolved, his mindset had subtly changed.
These legs...
It's absolutely top-notch!
"Damn... at a time like this, what am I even paying attention to? Am I really a pervert?"
Xia Che wished he could slap himself twice, repeatedly muttering his sins to himself.
"Xia Che?"
Seeing that Xia Che remained silent for a long time, and even closed his eyes after just one glance with a strange expression, as if he had seen something dirty, Jiang Yu suddenly became a little angry: "I'm talking to you!"
"Ah... really? You can feel your legs again? That's great!"
Xia Che finally came to his senses, but still dared not look any longer. After all, he was wearing shorts, and it would be too embarrassing if he had a reaction. He turned his face to the side and looked at the boundless sea in front of him, which made him feel a little more at ease.
"Yes, but this feeling comes and goes quickly. I could have felt it just a moment ago, but now it's completely gone. Was it just my imagination...?"
Jiang Yu was immediately disappointed.
Recalling the moment I was about to drown, it seems that many images did appear in my mind. Could it be that the feeling in my legs was also a hallucination?
"Hey, you're wrong about that."
Upon hearing this, Xia Che immediately became anxious and turned his head to persuade Jiang Yu, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at her beautiful, white legs and he hurriedly turned his head away in embarrassment.
"I have heard that when faced with a rare disease that modern medicine cannot solve, it does not mean that the disease is incurable. If you keep a calm mind, you can still recover. There are real examples of this."
After careful consideration, Xia Che decided not to tell Jiang Yu the truth. He would find another opportunity to do the medicinal bath and massage later, but he did not want to talk about the specific effects of these things.
Xia Che knew Jiang Yu's character all too well. If she knew that the recovery of her legs was entirely thanks to him...
This kindness will likely weigh heavily on her shoulders like a mountain.
Helping a disabled person recover is a great favor, almost a life-saving one. Jiang Yu is stubborn and will probably spend the rest of her life repaying this favor. There's no way to persuade her otherwise. Once Jiang Yu knows the truth, she will definitely do it. Xia Che doesn't think he can stop her.
Therefore, not saying anything is the best solution.
Jiang Yu's life has been pitiful enough. He went to his master to ask for a cure, just to help this poor girl.
As for repaying or anything like that...
Xia Che never cared about these things.
That's just the kind of person he is; he does what he wants and follows his heart without ever considering the rewards.
But right now, we need to dispel Jiang Yu's suspicions...
Xia Che's eyes darted around, and he said again, "I have a story to tell, would you like to hear it?"
"Tell me, I want to hear what real examples you have. You're probably just trying to fool me again."
Jiang Yu crossed her arms, her face full of disbelief.
"There's a story about a patient with terminal cancer who sought treatment at numerous renowned hospitals, but to no avail..."
"Wait a minute, late-stage cancer? What kind of cancer has such mild symptoms? If it's late-stage, how can someone still go to various hospitals on their own? They should be bedridden by now!"
"Are you even listening to me?"
Xia Che's face darkened: "If you don't want to hear it, then I won't say it! Also, you skipped class today. If I hadn't covered for you, you would have been dead. Believe me or not, I'll go and tell the teacher right now."
"No, Brother Che, please continue."
Jiang Yu stuck out her tongue.
"That's more like it..."
Jiang Yu's address of "Brother Che" touched Xia Che's heart. It sounded pleasing to the ear, so he didn't argue with Jiang Yu and continued, "This cancer patient, of course... I don't know what kind of cancer it is. After all, it's just a story. People who seek realism in fictional stories must have something wrong with their brains."
"Later, after searching for a famous doctor to no avail, he developed terminal cancer that was incurable. The doctor said he had at most three months to live. He could only go home and count down the days until his death. But as the days went by, he was still alive. Until one day he realized that this was not good. The pressure was too great, and he was even hoping to die... It sounds a bit pathetic no matter how you look at it."
"So he changed his mindset. He stopped counting how many days he had left to live and instead calmed down and lived each day to the fullest."
“A miracle happened. He lived like this every day, never feeling that his mental state was so good. Half a year passed, but he was still alive and well, far exceeding the initial diagnosis given to him by the hospital. He returned to the hospital and had a full-body check-up. He found that his illness had actually been cured, and his physical condition was excellent, as if he had never been sick in the first place.”
At this point, Xia Che glanced at Jiang Yu meaningfully and said calmly, "The meaning of this story is also very clear: keep a calm mindset. If you really encounter a disease that modern medicine cannot solve, then leave everything to a miracle."
"So I believe that your leg is slowly regaining sensation, and this is not your imagination."
Xia Che let out a long sigh of relief, "Congratulations, Jiang..."
"You're about to become a normal person."
"In the true sense..."
"A normal person."
Xia Che has been hinting at the truth to Jiang Yu while trying his best not to let her know. Judging from the fact that Jiang Yu regained some consciousness after just one massage, the day when Jiang Yu is truly cured is not far away.
