Chapter 41 Recuperation
As night fell, Li Jichuan finally developed a high fever.
My consciousness was hazy, but I felt a cool sensation on my forehead.
Someone held his hand and kept massaging it.
Someone kept checking his temperature and took his ear temperature several times.
Someone wiped his body with a damp towel, so that he could feel refreshed even when he was in the worst pain...
Then, my consciousness grew increasingly heavy.
It felt like falling from a great height, with the wind whistling in his ears. Li Jichuan felt incredibly cold...
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself at Yuncheng Airport. After collecting his luggage, the driver was waiting for him in the B2 parking lot.
He dragged his luggage, got on the car, and lay back on the pillow, taking a light nap.
It was a red-eye flight, arriving in the early hours of the morning. The driver suggested taking a shortcut to save time.
Li Jichuan closed his eyes and agreed; all he wanted to do now was go home and sleep.
The destination of that trip was southern Yunnan.
He discovered some data vulnerabilities, requested relevant information from headquarters, and planned to review it upon returning to the group the next day…
Little did he expect that his smooth-sailing life would come to an end that very night.
His healthy legs also became crippled that night.
Late at night, the driver was fatigued and collided with an oncoming car. The car then rolled several times and landed on the roadside green belt.
Li Jichuan hung upside down in the deformed carriage, his nostrils filled with the smell of blood.
I don't know how much time passed; it could have been a few minutes or a few hours.
Someone opened the car door, their eyelashes stained with blood, and Li Jichuan couldn't even tell whether it was a person or a ghost.
It is a person.
The man struggled to open the car door, freed him, and then carried him on his back...
Later, Li Jichuan was found by the rescue team two kilometers away from the location of the car accident.
When he woke up again, he could not remember what had happened. He was immersed in the shock and sorrow of losing his ability to walk, and he was depressed all day long.
However, his dream that night reminded him of someone.
It was that young man who barged into the factory office during the day.
Li Jichuan remembered that the person had appeared in court as an "eyewitness".
He provided video footage from his car, showing that due to driver fatigue, a collision occurred with an oncoming vehicle, and the driver's attempt to avoid it caused the vehicle to overturn, resulting in secondary injuries.
The car suddenly exploded, taking the driver's life, but Li Jichuan escaped with the help of the "anonymous person".
...
When Li Jichuan woke up, his nose was filled with an enticing aroma.
Seeing him open his eyes, Su Pu ran over excitedly, looking at him with concern.
"I feel much better..."
Li Jichuan shrugged his shoulders and felt much more relaxed.
Su Pu, beaming with pride, reached out and touched his forehead, causing it to bleed.
Li Jichuan's fever has indeed subsided.
"It smells so good, what is it?" Li Jichuan asked.
Su Pu's eyes lit up, and she ran out of the bedroom, carrying a plate, and then ran back in.
Dumplings, oh, dumplings!
Dumplings are the food you should eat when you're sick!
Su Pu smiled and gestured.
Li Jichuan was also in a good mood, "Why are there dumplings here?"
You ordered it this morning, right?
"Have you eaten?" he asked Su Pu.
Su Pu smiled and gestured for him to eat first, then went to the living room to do something.
Li Jichuan ate two more; they were really delicious.
Su Pu is here, and his appetite has returned!
The phone on the bedside table vibrated. Li Jichuan turned his head to look and saw that it was his own phone.
Anderson texted him.
"What's wrong with Su Pu? She told me first thing this morning that she wanted to make dumplings and insisted that I borrow the hotel's kitchen..."
"Is it their family custom to make dumplings for someone? Have you eaten any?"
"Oh dear, he's so worried, he must think someone ransacked his house!"
"...You two are really a good match."
"Alright, I can't sleep in my room either..."
"To be honest, I've never seen such a noisy mute. It must have been freezing cold this morning!"
Li Jichuan chuckled silently.
Eating dumplings will help you recover from illness faster.
The little mute boy truly took away his illness and awakened a new life.
