Chapter 294 Awakening
Seeing that the two were puzzled, Jiang Ran raised her eyebrows slightly and slowly explained, "There are also ways to identify jade. Although the jade pendant that was just broken was green all over, its surface had a waxy luster and looked stiff and dull. It was obviously formed after being injected with glue."
Upon hearing this, Si Youlin suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise, "So there's such a saying!"
As he spoke, his gaze darkened slightly, recalling the boss's aggressive and deceptive behavior earlier, and he continued, "Luckily you were here, otherwise that person's scheme would have succeeded."
Jiang Ran smiled slightly after hearing this and replied in a low voice, "Who told him to ask for such an exorbitant price? Did he really think we were easy targets?"
A hint of disdain flashed in his words, and Si Zuochen's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Jiang Ran with a strange expression.
I never expected that she would be involved in this area. I used to be prejudiced against her, thinking that metaphysics and other things had nothing to do with her. Now I can't help but look at her with new respect.
Jiang Ran noticed the gazes directed at her, turned her head, and met Si Zuochen's eyes. She then asked, "What's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Zuochen's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked away, replying in a low voice, "It's nothing."
Jiang Ran didn't care and drove them to Si Jiliang's residence. After several days of the same routine, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin had gotten used to it.
With servants around, they didn't need to do anything; it was just a change of scenery for their studies.
Aside from observing and learning when Jiang Ran was decocting medicine and applying acupuncture, he would also watch her work.
"This is the Neiguan acupoint, which has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, and relieving pain."
"This is the Yanglingquan acupoint, which is used to relax muscles and promote blood circulation."
"And this is the Yongquan acupoint, which is used to calm the mind and help with sleep."
Jiang Ran explained to them one by one while administering acupuncture.
Si Youlin listened intently from the side, then suddenly asked, "He's currently in a coma, does he need any sedatives or sleep aids?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran slowly shook her head and then explained, "He fell into a coma simply because of uncontrollable physiological factors; his consciousness may not be in a stable state."
After listening to Jiang Ran's explanation, Si Youlin suddenly understood.
Si Zuochen also absorbed everything Jiang Ran said. Since discovering that Jiang Ran had many admirable qualities, they began to refer to Jiang Ran's opinions on many things.
As dusk approached, the three prepared to head home.
Throughout the journey, Si Youlin talked at length about what he had learned that day, and even after getting off the bus, he kept asking questions.
"So, does learning Traditional Chinese Medicine require a thorough understanding of all twelve meridians?"
"Yes, memorizing only acupoints without memorizing the meridians is just scratching the surface. If you want to master it, you have to integrate all of them. Moreover, there are 720 acupoints in the human body, and it's not something that can be memorized in a short time."
Jiang Ran slowly explained, then continued persuasively, "If you want to learn, you have to be prepared to endure hardship."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Youlin quickly replied, "Of course!"
Compared to Si Zuochen, Si Youlin was more interested in traditional Chinese medicine. After all, Si Zuochen was quite talented in games, while he lagged behind in other areas. He hadn't thought much of it before, but after learning that Jiang Ran was proficient in this field, he developed the desire to learn a skill himself.
Before you could see them, you could hear their voices; the sound of their conversation had already reached the hall.
Si Yanxiao looked up towards the door and saw three people slowly walking in.
"Daddy?" Si Zuochen was the first to see Si Yanxiao, and his expression froze.
Because Si Yanxiao usually stays in his study at this time, and they usually don't see him since they leave early and return late.
Upon hearing this, Si Youlin quickly called out as well, and Jiang Ran nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Si Yanxiao nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Ran and explained, "Gu Nan just left, I'm seeing him off."
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin turned to look at Jiang Ran, a look of surprise flashing across their faces. They didn't understand what their father was trying to explain to Jiang Ran.
Did the sun rise in the west?!
Jiang Ran noticed their gazes and belatedly realized what was happening. She pursed her lips slightly, a look of surprise flashing across her face.
Before she could reply, Si Yanxiao asked again, "I heard you talking about traditional Chinese medicine just now?"
Upon hearing this, Si Youlin immediately became interested and replied, "Yes, my brother and I have been learning about this subject from her recently."
"Oh?" Si Yanxiao raised his voice slightly, turned to look at Jiang Ran, and asked softly, "I've heard that some acupoints on the human body can be fatal. Is that true?"
Jiang Ran was surprised that he would join the conversation. She paused for a moment, then replied gently, "Yes, there are 108 vital acupoints, which are divided into living acupoints and dead acupoints. There are 72 non-fatal acupoints and 36 fatal acupoints."
Hearing Jiang Ran's explanation, Si Youlin looked surprised and exclaimed, "So it's true? I always thought it was just an exaggeration in the movie."
“Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive, and even some of the television adaptations are based on reality,” Jiang Ran replied slowly.
Si Yanxiao had only mentioned it casually, but the two of them ended up discussing it in depth, with Si Zuochen also listening very attentively.
I felt somewhat superfluous...
His eyes flickered slightly, and he changed the subject, asking in a deep voice, "How is he?"
When Jiang Ran saw that he had taken the initiative to ask about Si Jiliang, she raised her eyebrows slightly and slowly replied, "His consciousness has improved recently, and he should be fully awake in the next few days, but he will need some time to fully recover."
"Hmm," Si Yanxiao responded softly, as if it were just a token inquiry, and he didn't ask anything else.
For a moment, they were speechless, and the atmosphere instantly fell silent.
Jiang Ran hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's getting late, let's get some rest."
After saying that, he turned around and walked upstairs.
Si Zuochen and Si Youlin nodded slightly to him and followed closely behind him as they left.
Si Yanxiao looked up at their backs, his eyes flashing slightly, his expression unreadable.
His eyes unconsciously shone with a radiance as he looked at Jiang Ran. She was like a treasure box, always able to bring him unexpected surprises.
Even the chief physician was helpless with Si Jiliang's condition, but she had a way to treat it.
Despite previously having many arguments and conflicts with her child, she can now coexist peacefully...
He witnessed everything that happened, which fueled his curiosity about Jiang Ran and changed his opinion of her considerably.
Only after their figures disappeared around the corner did Si Yanxiao withdraw his gaze, his eyes slightly sharp, and walk straight towards the door.
Company-related matters are still piled up on Gu Nan's desk, and overseas matters also need to be discussed and decided by the three of them together.
The agreed time was in the evening.
What I said earlier about just seeing Gu Nan off was just a pretext, a temporary excuse.
————
Under Jiang Ran's treatment, Si Jiliang's health has recovered somewhat, and his consciousness has gradually returned to normal.
Her eyelids fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, looking at the familiar room before her, but she still hadn't realized what was going on.
Upon seeing him awake, the maid exclaimed in delight, "Mr. Si, you're awake!"
Hearing the commotion beside him, Si Jiliang frowned slightly and saw an unfamiliar face. Before he could reply, she hurriedly said, "I'll go tell Madam!"
With that, he rushed out.
Before Si Jiliang could even process what was happening, a wave of dizziness washed over him.
His gaze darkened slightly as he slowly closed his eyes to rest and sort out the thoughts in his mind.
A moment later, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and Si Jiliang opened his eyes and looked outside.
Jiang Ran pushed open the door and entered, followed by Si Zuochen and Si Youlin.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Si Jiliang's face flashed with surprise, then his eyes lit up, and he asked softly, "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Ran walked to the bedside in a few steps. Seeing that he was awake, she smiled and teased, "Trying to snatch someone from the clutches of the King of Hell."
After saying that, he reached out and took his pulse. The pulse was steady, and the condition had obviously stabilized.
Then, looking down at Si Jiliang, he said in a deep voice, "You've been set up and have been unconscious. There's really no other way but for me to take care of you."
Si Jiliang listened with his eyes lowered, and instantly understood.
He had always been confident in Jiang Ran's abilities, after all, the previous "she" was extremely proficient in this area.
