Chapter 4: Visiting an Ophthalmologist
As Jiang Yun got closer to Xia Lili, he heard the sound of her deep sleep.
It turned out that I was just too sleepy and fell asleep.
Jiang Yun: ...
It’s good to be young, you can fall asleep right away!
Jiang Yun wiped the sweat off Xia Lili with a tissue, and then put a new ice patch on Xia Lili's forehead.
Perhaps because she felt she slept too comfortably, Xia Lili suddenly opened her eyes.
She was at work, how could she suddenly sleep so comfortably!
Something big must have happened!
Seeing Xia Lili wake up in shock, Jiang Yun was worried that the unfamiliar environment in the car would scare her, so he quickly told her everything that happened after Xia Lili fell.
"Your leg was crushed by the pile of bicycles. We are driving you to Joaquin Hospital now to have your injuries looked after."
Xia Lili felt the pain in her left leg and clutched her head in frustration, "Oh, it's over! I won't get my salary today, and Sister Zhang will fire me!"
How long will I have to stay in bed with this leg injury?
"It's all over, it's all over, I'm going to become a pauper!"
Xia Lili tugged at Jiang Yun's sleeve: "Huajin Hospital is private, it's very expensive, why don't we go to the clinic..."
When Coach Chen saw Xia Lili's reaction, he felt sad and funny. This little girl's life must not be easy.
He smiled cheerfully and said, "Don't worry, Jiang Yun will be responsible for you!"
Coach Chen said proudly, "Let Jiang Yun compensate you with the prize money the country gave him for participating in the World Championships! If Jiang Yun gets a good result, you will be rich!"
There is no official prize money awarded to athletes participating in the World Championships, but the exposure and commercial value brought by the event is no less than six figures.
Moreover, Jiang Yun passed the rounds of selection and qualified to participate in the World Championships, and the country will also provide subsidies and rewards.
"No need for that, no need for that."
Xia Lili quickly waved her hands. This was the prize money she had won for bringing glory to the country. How could she be compensated? "The families of the two naughty kids who caused the accident have been apprehended by so many people. I will ask them to compensate for their medical expenses and lost wages later."
Jiang Yun met the little girl's clear, frightened almond-shaped eyes, curled the corners of his lips, and said in a comforting tone: "Coach Chen is right. If it weren't for you, my entire career would probably be ruined."
"My bonus is yours."
Although he said it with a smile, his tone was overbearing and unyielding.
Xia Lili wanted to say something else, but the other party seemed to be unwilling to give up until she nodded.
She nodded, then thought to herself, when did she become so indifferent to money?
People are offering money to her doorstep, but she, a poor girl, refuses to accept it. Isn't she a fool?
"Well, then, okay, thank you..."
Xia Lili's face turned red and her voice was as soft as a mosquito. She was a little embarrassed as it was her first time making a fortune.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yun asked him to unlock his phone and they added each other as WeChat friends.
After Xia Lili approved, Jiang Yun transferred 12,000 yuan to her in one go, and noted, "Voluntary gift, thank you little frog for your bravery."
Xia Lili opened her eyes wide. This was too fast!
For a moment she felt as if she were still dreaming.
A handsome butterfly swimming genius used my phone to add me as a friend and sent me money. How high a pillow do I need to have to dream like this?
Xia Lili was still in a daze, and Jiang Yun pressed the payment button on her phone screen.
"This is the national subsidy for participating in the competition. Once I get a good ranking, I will transfer the subsequent bonus to you."
Xia Lili looked up in surprise. Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Yun added lightly, "Don't say no."
"Otherwise I'll feel guilty."
She was injured while saving him and lost her part-time job.
Xia Lili shut up with an embarrassed look on her face.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of Huajin Hospital. Jiang Yun, who was sitting in the back seat, got out first. Xia Lili was thinking about how to get out when her left door was opened.
Jiang Yun turned his back to her and squatted in front of her: "Come up, little frog. I'll carry you over."
The boy has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his broad back muscles are beautifully marked like a cartoon model, and he is full of tension.
Xia Lili looked away, feeling like she would bleed from the nose if she looked at him any longer.
On the steps of the hospital, Dr. Qin, an orthopedic surgeon who had been contacted by the enthusiastic public, was pushing a wheelchair and urging people to hurry up.
"Hurry up and carry her over here. Let me see if this heroine is seriously injured."
Xia Lili was in a dilemma. Like an ostrich, she closed her eyes and lay on Jiang Yun's back.
Lying on the boy's thick and strong back felt very safe, and it was hot.
Xia Lili had rarely interacted with the opposite sex since she was a child. At this moment, she smelled the lemon scent of the shower gel on Jiang Yun's neck, and her face, which was already a little flushed due to the heat, turned red.
Fortunately, the process was short. Jiang Yun soon put her in a wheelchair and pushed her to the radiology department for an X-ray.
She didn't notice that when Jiang Yun put her down, his face was cold, but his ears were already red.

"Luckily, the leg injury isn't serious. It's just a mild soft tissue injury. I'll be fine after two weeks of rest."
In the clinic, Dr. Qin applied medicine and bandaged Xia Lili's swollen left ankle.
He wrapped the bandage and warned, "Don't let the bandaged area get wet. Try to stay in the ward and rest for the next few days. Change the bandage once a week."
Xia Lili behaved well: "Okay."
Doctor Qin looked at the quiet yet brave young lady, and his eyes flashed with admiration. "My friend followed the child's parents to the clinic, right? The clinic is next to the police station, and the police went directly to take a statement from the passerby. They will contact you soon, don't worry."
Doctor Qin glanced at the patients in line and said to Jiang Yun who was standing beside him, "Okay, take her to pay the bill and go through the hospitalization procedures."
Xia Lili was surprised: "Hospitalization"
Didn’t you say the injury wasn’t serious?
"Well, stay in the hospital for three days for observation and a comprehensive physical examination. In case you hit your head, you look fine now."
Doctor Qin winked at Xia Lili with his fox eyes hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses: "Do you feel dizzy?"
Xia Lili was no fool and understood it immediately. Anyway, the medical expenses were paid by the parents of the naughty child, so Dr. Qin was a good person and simply arranged a comprehensive physical examination for her, checking all the items that could be checked.
Xia Lili touched her forehead naturally, her brows furrowed. "Come to think of it, I've been feeling dizzy since I fell. I thought I had heatstroke. I think I need to get checked out."
Xia Lili thought that it was a good opportunity to take advantage of this comprehensive examination to go to the ophthalmology department to see if there was anything wrong with her eyes.
"Hey, those two naughty kids are really careless. They delayed the little girl from going to work."
Dr. Qin pretended to sigh deeply, waved his hand and asked Jiang Yun to push Xia Lili away.
Jiang Yun looked at the two of them singing in unison, with a slight smile on his face, and pushed Xia Lili away in the wheelchair.
All the patients who came to see the doctor had heard about Xia Lili's story. When Xia Lili and her husband left, many people praised her for her bravery.
After completing the hospitalization procedures, Jiang Yun settled Xia Lili in the ward. It was already 12:30 noon.
Coach Chen came back with lunch. He brought over two big bags, which contained four meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, as well as bone soup. The bedside table next to the bed was full of food.
In addition to meals, Coach Chen also bought milk tea and a bag of snacks for Xia Lili.
"Lili, I don't usually drink milk tea. I don't know what young people like. I bought one cup of milk tea and one cup of fruit tea."
Xia Lili was flattered and felt warm in her heart: "Thank you, uncle, you are so polite!"
"You're so thin, eat more. I'll bring you food when I'm free."
Coach Chen set the table for Xia Lili, which was very thoughtful.
It was the first time that Jiang Yun saw the strict Coach Chen could be so gentle and kind, and he was stunned.
Coach Chen, who had been gentle with Xia Lili, turned to look at Jiang Yun and immediately changed his expression, scolding him: "What are you looking at? You can only eat the nutritious meal."
"Eat quickly, then go back to training."
Vegetable salad, chicken breast and whole wheat bread were stuffed into Jiang Yun's hands. Jiang Yun shrugged helplessly and looked at Xia Lili with sympathy in his eyes.
After lunch, Master Jiang Yun and his disciple were about to leave.
"Little Frog, I'm going to the base for training. I'll come back to bring you food in the evening."
"Don't bother. There's still so much food left. I can just heat it up in the hospital microwave tonight!" Xia Lili, a person who doesn't like to bother others, said: "You should prepare for the competition, focus on training, and get enough rest."
After lunch, Xia Lili made an appointment with the ophthalmologist and prepared to have her eyes checked.
She came to the door of the ophthalmology department with a cane, feeling very nervous.
