Chapter 5: Tooth Marks (Reconstruction)
Just as Chen Yuanchuan closed his eyes to welcome the pain, Xi Qing, who had just stood firm, quickly grabbed his waist and avoided this tragic situation.
"Be careful." Xi Qing's hot breath sprayed directly on Chen Yuanchuan's earlobe. Chen Yuanchuan trembled and forcibly suppressed his excessive conditioned reflex.
Even if he tried not to think about it, the memory was still imprinted on his body, like a thorn in his flesh, an indelible nightmare.
Seeing that Chen Yuanchuan was weak on his feet, Xi Qing asked with concern: "How about I carry you?"
Chen Yuanchuan subconsciously raised his eyes, his vision passed through Xi Qing's figure and fell on the others. Seeing their strange reactions, he suddenly felt a headache.
Trying to stabilize his center of gravity, Chen Yuanchuan stepped back to keep a distance from Xi Qing and said coldly, "No need."
Li Yan covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, then took the opportunity to say, "Don't be so stubborn, handsome boy. This is the first time I see the boss caring about others so much." There was a hint of sarcasm in her words.
Chen Yuanchuan had no intention of sharing his love-hate relationship with Xi Qing with strangers.
Even the beautiful woman who had caught his eye had lost interest at this moment, and said lightly: "I feel much better after taking the serum. I just lost my balance just now."
Xi Qing frowned, "Just in case, you'd better go to the hospital for a check-up now."
Although Chen Yuanchuan still felt numb inside, he believed he would recover soon, so he rejected Xi Qing's proposal and said, "I'll go later. I'll go now. Goodbye."
After saying this, he turned around without any reluctance, wanting to get rid of this troublesome person as soon as possible.
The next second, Xi Qing reached out and grabbed Chen Yuanchuan's wrist, saying sternly, "No, you need to be observed for a few hours after the serum injection. If you faint during the injection, the consequences will be disastrous."
As a medical student, Chen Yuanchuan knew this clearly in his heart, but now he was trapped by his momentary greed and was in a dilemma.
Xi Qing pondered for a while, then said firmly, "Come with us. You can pick herbs on the way."
"Why?" Chen Yuanchuan frowned, his face full of displeasure.
Xi Qing closed the distance between them and whispered in her ear, "Just treat me as a stranger. As a medical worker, I'm worried that something might happen to you, okay?"
The R&D personnel around him were also kind-hearted and invited Chen Yuanchuan to join. Chen Yuanchuan just disliked Xi Qing, but he also valued his life. After thinking about it for a while, he made up his mind and agreed.
After following Xi Qing's team out of several plots of land, Chen Yuanchuan was involuntarily attracted to Li Yan after she took the initiative to talk to him.
Li Yan is intelligent and elegant, exuding the charm of a professional woman. Although he doesn't necessarily want to pick up girls, chatting with beautiful women is still a pleasure.
Xi Qing was walking behind the team. When he saw Chen Yuanchuan talking to Li Yan with his hands and feet gesticulating, the smile on his face faded and a dark light appeared in his calm eyes.
He's a stud indeed. Is the allure of beautiful women really that great? He's still trying to pick up girls in front of me. He really doesn't learn his lesson.
Ever since that night, when the novel world began to experience some turmoil, Xi Qing had successfully intercepted a ray of the source energy. He closed his eyes and silently modified the tiny code of this world.
Chen Yuanchuan and Li Yan were chatting animatedly. Although his nerves were still excited, he felt a strange fatigue and sleepiness suddenly set in. He tripped over a stone and stumbled forward a few steps.
"Ah - are you okay?" Li Yan grabbed the hem of Chen Yuanchuan's clothes without thinking and asked in surprise.
"No, it's okay." Chen Yuanchuan tried hard to put aside the sleepiness that was coming, and forced a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Li Yan was still worried, "Are you allergic to the serum?"
I can't be that unlucky, huh? Chen Yuanchuan thought to himself, feeling a wave of unease in his heart.
Xi Qing secretly observed that Chen Yuanchuan was acting strangely, so he walked up to him and acted without asking for permission. He pulled Chen Yuanchuan's arm, twisted his body to resist, and then carried him on his back.
Chen Yuanchuan, who was weak, naturally could not resist Xi Qing's sudden force. He raised his eyes suddenly and took in the astonished expressions of everyone.
"Fuck! Put me down! I can walk by myself!" Chen Yuanchuan was shocked by Xi Qing's unexpected action. It was so disgraceful for a grown man like him to be carried like this in front of everyone!
Chen Yuanchuan pushed Xi Qing's shoulders with all his strength, his face flushed red.
"You can't even stand steadily now, why are you still trying so hard? Go back." Xi Qing said gently. There was no sign that she had deliberately shaken Chen Yuanchuan's buttocks a few times while speaking.
He signaled with his eyes that the team should leave on their own and continue their mission.
Including Li Yan and others, they hurriedly dispersed after confirmation, leaving the boss and the handsome boy a chance to be alone.
"I can walk. Let go...Xi Qing! You!" Chen Yuanchuan's face turned pale and blue. Seeing that Xi Qing still hadn't given up his intention, he didn't know what got into his brain, but he actually went close to the part with the most flesh in front of him and took a big bite.
"Hiss—" Xi Qing's body stiffened, his mouth grimacing in pain. After realizing what Chen Yuanchuan had done behind his back, he grumbled, "Yuanchuan, do you mean we have to share this hardship?"
After Chen Yuanchuan realized what a childish thing he had done, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Chen Yuanchuan, what are you doing stupid!
He wailed in his heart, thinking that his brain must have been temporarily poisoned, so he didn't dare to move for a while, so as not to embarrass himself again.
Xi Qing felt a burning pain in his shoulder and believed it was bleeding.
After licking the back of his teeth, Xi Qing was also angry and hooked Chen Yuanchuan's knees tightly, leaving him no chance to break free.
Xi Qing certainly knew that with Chen Yuanchuan's personality, being betrayed by his enemy would undoubtedly be more painful than killing him, but Xi Qing just wanted to force it and make Chen Yuanchuan owe him a favor.
After walking for a while, the exhausted Chen Yuanchuan resisted. After all, this guy had done something wrong, so he could carry the blame on him if he wanted.
After figuring it out, he gave up struggling completely, and with his hands loosely hooked around Xi Qing, he took bumpy steps. With nothing else to do, he could only study the two rows of clearly visible teeth marks on the side of his neck.
Wow, she's really delicate and tender.
The flickering scene seemed to have a hypnotic effect. Chen Yuanchuan shook his head and forced himself to be alert...
Halfway through the journey, a long-lost cool breeze blew quietly, and the leaves rustled.
Xi Qing suddenly felt his shoulders sink. He turned his head and realized that Chen Yuanchuan had fallen asleep. He chuckled softly and continued to walk forward.
As the sun sets, its gentle afterglow casts a golden glow across the landscape. On the road, the shadows of the two people, in harmony, are cast.
In the ancient temple on the mountainside, far away from them, the deep bell sounds like ripples echoed melodiously, resounding through the sky. After passing through layers of clouds, all that remained in their ears was a soft sigh of Buddhist chanting.
…
Chen Yuanchuan slowly woke up and saw a white ceiling in front of him. The familiar smell of disinfectant in the air strongly invaded his sense of smell, and Chen Yuanchuan immediately realized where he was.
As he pieced his memories together again, Chen Yuanchuan's expression became uncertain.
Damn, I fell asleep again. Where's my willpower?! The snake venom must have been cleared or there must be something wrong with the serum, Chen Yuanchuan consoled himself.
Ah yes! My herbs!
Chen Yuanchuan suddenly stood up and looked around the ward - this was a double room, but there was no one in the bed next to him.
Finally, Chen Yuanchuan breathed a sigh of relief when he found what he wanted to see under the foot of the bed.
I was too busy taking care of myself after being bitten by the snake to even think about the medicinal materials at that time, and I almost lost both my life and my army.
Xi Qing... Chen Yuanchuan chewed on the name, feeling mixed emotions, unable to decide how to treat him in the future.
A possibility suddenly emerged in Chen Yuanchuan's mind: Could it be that this bastard Xi Qing is afraid that I will call the police, so he is trying so hard to please me?
Haha, you didn’t expect that I have seen through your little tricks, you hypocrite!
Chen Yuanchuan suddenly became righteous and confident. "You're kidding! What good is Xi Qing doing to me now? I sacrificed my ass back then!" Damn it, I'm so pissed off.
A female voice as sweet as a yellow oriole came from outside the door, like a clear spring that suddenly extinguished Chen Yuanchuan's anger. He raised his head and secretly blew a gangster whistle.
As expected, it was a pretty beauty in a nurse's uniform. Her small face under the nurse's cap was only the size of a palm, and her pair of almond-shaped eyes were bright and clear.
She was supporting a skinny old man in a hospital gown and walking carefully to the next bed, muttering to him with her cherry lips not to sneak out of the hospital again.
"Uncle Li, please don't be like this anymore. You will be fine after the operation." The young nurse said half-reproachfully and half-comfortingly.
"Nurse Zhao, I know my physical condition. I'm afraid I can't make it through this."
The old man's sunken eyes were filled with sorrow. He pulled her sleeve and begged, "Just let me spend my last days at home."
The young nurse was obviously still young and immature in her social skills. Faced with this situation, she didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a cheerful voice came to the rescue of the helpless young nurse.
Chen Yuanchuan put on a kind smile. "Uncle Li, right? We all understand your desire to return to your roots, but if that girl lets you go today, then you'll have to wear this nurse uniform for the rest of your life. Considering her age, can you bear it?"
Chen Yuanchuan slightly exaggerated the consequences. After hearing this, the kind-hearted old man felt guilty, his hands trembled, and he loosened his sleeves.
The young nurse looked at Chen Yuanchuan sitting on the hospital bed with gratitude, and suddenly realized that this kind-hearted man was so handsome.
Her eyebrows were long and pointed, her eyes were like cold stars, the corners of her mouth were curled up in a distant and unrestrained smile, and she had a calm temperament.
The young nurse's fair cheeks turned red. She spoke a few more words to Uncle Li. Finally, her affectionate eyes swept over the name on Chen Yuanchuan's bed, intentionally or unintentionally, and she walked out of the ward in small steps.
Chen Yuanchuan caught this scene out of the corner of his eye, feeling secretly happy, but his face looked even more righteous.
The old man was still sighing silently. Chen Yuanchuan collected his wandering thoughts, looked at the old man's appearance several times, and came to a conclusion in his heart. He said in a gentle voice:
"Uncle Li, excuse me, do you have a heart condition?"
The old man looked suspicious and nodded, "How do you know?"
Chen Yuanchuan smiled affably, "I noticed the orange spots around your eyelids. Perhaps it's xanthelasma, which is one possible cause. The purple lips also support this, so I made this bold inference."
The old man was a little stunned, but soon he suddenly realized, "Young man, you are studying medicine, right? You will definitely have a bright future." Then he sighed, "Yes, I have heart failure."
He was just showing off some medical knowledge, but unexpectedly the old man was so optimistic about it. Chen Yuanchuan was conflicted for a moment, but still told his original purpose.
"Uncle Li, my family has been practicing medicine for generations, and I happen to be good at treating heart disease. If you trust me, I am willing to prescribe a dose for you for free, which will be a blessing." Chen Yuanchuan looked upright and calm, trying his best to create the aura of an unfathomable hermit.
The old man was even more shocked. His heart failure symptoms had reached a critical stage, but he didn't expect someone would dare to say such a thing. Wasn't he afraid that he would blackmail him?
As for the efficacy of the medicine, the old man had no idea. He had taken medicine more frequently than he had eaten in the past two years, but his condition hadn't improved. Furthermore, the man before him was so young, it was impossible for him to have any advanced medical skills.
Then he changed his mind and thought that he would not live long anyway, so he might as well give it a try. So the old man agreed.
After getting the consent, Chen Yuanchuan was secretly happy, but at the same time, a trace of uneasiness flashed through his mind. What if the prescription didn't work? Wouldn't that mean he would have let down the old man's trust?
The traditional Chinese medicine system in the jade pendant has only unlocked some of its functions, such as medicinal material identification, redemption mall, and several prescriptions on the first level of the prescription library.
If you want to unlock the later levels, you need to use the traditional Chinese medicine system, save the patients, and gain experience points before you can unlock them.
Chen Yuanchuan remembered that one of the medicinal prescriptions on the first level stated that it was used to treat symptoms such as chest pain, edema, palpitations, and heart palpitations.
According to the basic Chinese medicine courses he had taken, this corresponds exactly to the category of heart failure in modern medicine. Previously, Chen Yuanchuan had collected herbs for this particular recipe.
As expected, opportunities come to those who are prepared, Chen Yuanchuan thought proudly.
The normal procedure was to diagnose the patient first and then prescribe the right medicine. Last time at the hospital, Chen Yuanchuan had tried to hint something to the dying patient, but was caught and scolded by his instructor.
That's why Chen Yuanchuan changed his mind and first gathered all the herbs used in the prescription to be on the safe side. He believed that there would always be some seriously ill people who were willing to give it a try.
Look, the first patient admitted has appeared.
…
This hospital looks quite large, so it should have a medicine decoction room, Chen Yuanchuan thought as he stood in the hallway bustling with patients and medical staff.
Seeing the familiar little beauty named Zhao from afar, Chen Yuanchuan went to greet her and asked with a smile, "Nurse Zhao, is there a medicine decoction room in the hospital? Which way should I go?"
The little nurse who was called opened her mouth slightly. She didn't expect that the scene of meeting the boy she liked again would come so soon, and she was secretly happy.
After understanding Chen Yuanchuan's purpose, he nodded and then shook his head, saying softly: "Mr. Chen, the medicine decoction room is only open to internal personnel, you can't go in."
Chen Yuanchuan was greatly disappointed and immediately became depressed. As the first person she had ever been attracted to, the nurse couldn't bear to see Chen Yuanchuan so depressed. He should have been full of energy.
So in the heat of the moment, I blurted out some illegal words—
