Chapter 18: Drinking Medicine
Yu Zhi lowered her eyes, and only raised her head in a daze when Wei Yuan stood in front of her.
"Brother Wei Yuan!" she exclaimed in surprise, "Are you here for a checkup as well?"
"I guess so." Wei Yuan replied gently, "Why are you here alone?"
"My brother came with me. He went to help me with the hospitalization procedures." Yu Zhi said with a smile, tilting his head and squinting his eyes.
Wei Yuan is tall to begin with, and now one is standing while the other is sitting, which makes them feel a bit condescending, making it inconvenient to have a conversation.
This rest area happens to be a single-seat setting, with all the seats facing outward in a circle like a sunflower, forming a barrier at the height of the upper body. If you sit next to each other, you can't even see each other's faces.
Fortunately, the space in a single seat was not small, and two people could still sit there if they squeezed together. Wei Yuan simply sat down next to her.
The space on the single chair suddenly became cramped, and the oppressive feeling unique to a mature man, mixed with Wei Yuan's solemnity, rushed towards Yu Zhi.
"Why do you still need to be hospitalized?" He frowned and asked with concern.
In the interstellar age, common minor illnesses can be cured immediately by taking medicine, and only serious illnesses require injections. For example, some extraordinary people in the First Legion whose spirit bodies are on the verge of riot will need to be hospitalized.
"It's nothing serious, I'm just malnourished and need some supplements." Yu Zhi said casually.
Wei Yuan understood that she must have said this on purpose because she didn't want him to worry.
If it is just malnutrition, taking special nutritional supplements for a period of time will be enough, and there is no need to be hospitalized.
"Let me see your medical report." He deliberately lowered his face, with an air of dominance that brooked no argument.
Sure enough, the little girl was always afraid of him like this. Seeing this, Yu Zhi obediently turned on the light brain, took out the report, and threw it in front of Wei Yuan.
After quickly reading her report, Wei Yuan felt angry and distressed. Seeing that Yu Zhi still had an innocent expression, he couldn't help but knock her on the head.
Of course, the force is not much greater than stroking.
"Is this what you call malnutrition?" He pointed to the multiple old injuries on the X-ray.
Yu Zhi twisted her fingers, feeling guilty and not daring to answer.
"You..." Wei Yuan pursed his lips, not having the heart to say anything harsh. "If you feel unwell in the future, you must go see a doctor immediately, understand?"
She had a serious bone hyperplasia and multiple muscle contractures, which would definitely cause long-term swelling and pain, but the little girl never said anything about it.
And what was going on with the Yu family? Their biological daughter had been back for so long, and her health was so poor, but they only discovered it now?
Wei Yuan rarely felt a trace of anger from the bottom of his heart.
"I understand. I won't do it again." Yu Zhi was sensitive to the anger on his face. Thinking that he was angry with her, she quickly admitted her mistake, "Brother Wei Yuan, don't be angry."
Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment, and in this moment of stunnedness, the girl's fingertips, with some coolness, gently placed on his hand.
Yu Zhi hooked her arm around his and shook it, acting like she was acting like a spoiled child to her brother: "I definitely won't do that again in the future."
The soft and gentle ending sound was like a white dandelion blown by the wind, swirling into Wei Yuan's ears, and finally taking root in his heart.

When Yu Yao came back after completing the procedures, he saw a tall man sitting next to his sister.
The man had his back to him, so he couldn't see his face, but he was very close to Yu Zhi.
His face changed, and the blood in his body rushed to his forehead in an instant, and he rushed over in a hurry.
There are so many seats next to her, why is this bastard squeezing next to Zhizhi?
When he thought that Zhizhi might be scared and helpless facing the perverted harassment at this moment, Yu Yao wished he could go back ten minutes ago and slap himself in the face for leaving Zhizhi sitting here alone!
"You--" Yu Yao was so anxious that his eyes turned red, and his fist was almost about to hit the other person's face, but he quickly retracted his strength after seeing who was in front of him.
However, he did not restrain his strength at all when he swung his punch, and the sudden withdrawal of strength caused his arm to cramp.
"Brother Wei...Brother Wei Yuan?" Yu Yao looked embarrassed, covering his cramped area and grimacing, "I thought he was a pervert."
Yu Zhi burst out laughing.
"You are such a heartless little thing." Yu Yao said unhappily, "I am just worried about you."
"I know." Yu Zhi smiled with eyes sparkling, as if adorned with fine diamonds. She stood up and rubbed Yu Yao's arm. "Are you feeling better?"
Yu Yao slowly stretched his arms twice: "Better now."
Wei Yuan then began to explain, "I had just finished my rehabilitation and when I came out I ran into... Zhi Zhi."
Yu Yao uttered an "oh" and then reacted, saying anxiously, "Brother Wei Yuan! Why are you also calling me Zhi Zhi?"
There was obvious jealousy on his face. This was how he addressed his sister! Even though... even if it was Brother Wei Yuan, whom he admired, he didn't want to share this most intimate nickname with him.
Wei Yuan didn't understand his reaction and was a little puzzled: "Then shouldn't I also call you Xiao Li?"
Eh, it seems so? Yu Yao scratched his head. After hearing what Wei Yuan said, he couldn't understand why he reacted so strongly when hearing someone call him Zhizhi.
"Okay..." Seeing that his sister didn't raise any objections, he had to compromise dejectedly.
"Oh, by the way, this is the medicine Dr. Liang prescribed for you. You have to take it now." Yu Yao had just been interrupted and remembered the important matter. He took out a tube of medicine from the medical bag he was carrying.
Yu Zhi took it with curiosity. The interstellar potion looked a bit like a test tube used for drawing blood. The tube was transparent and there was light blue liquid inside.
She opened it and took a sip, and her little face immediately wrinkled like dough.
This thing looks pretty good, but it tastes so disgusting. It has a slimy texture, like undiluted phlegm...
Yu Yao looked at her expression and said with a sympathetic look, "This is for removing toxins from the body. It's ranked among the top three most unpalatable drinks on Starnet. Luckily, I've never tried it."
Yu Zhi looked up at the sky in despair, secretly covered the potion with his hand and put it back, trying to avoid drinking it.
Her little action was discovered by Wei Yuan as expected.
"What did you promise me just now?" Wei Yuan's eyes followed the potion in her hand.
"It's too hard to drink..." Yu Zhi pursed her lips, about to cry, "Is there any other choice?"
Wei Yuan took the medicine from her hand and opened the lid again, his movements gentle but unyielding: "This is the best medicine for you."
Yu Zhi took it pitifully and took a deep breath as if he was going to die heroically.
"Be good. There's not much left. You can finish it in one gulp." Wei Yuan found her expression amusing and coaxed her gently, "If you finish drinking, I'll promise you one thing, okay?"
