Wu Bin's words quickly shot up the trending searches.
"Resolute Disabled College Student Speaks Words of Justice!"
"Faces Authority Without Bowing, Frail But Upright!"
Similar reports were blowing up online, and the incident involving Wu Bin directly became a hot topic.
Any marketing account that touched on it could make a huge profit, not to mention the live broadcasts by He Bingbing and her group.
Since vision recovery was indeed a big deal, Wu Bin didn't recklessly remove the gauze before it was certain that his retina had fully recovered, and he honestly lived several days as a blind man.
It was during these days that Wu Bin had a different kind of feeling.
He realized the distinction between being able to see and being blind was so large.
Wu Bin was lying in bed resting when the system's prompt suddenly rang in his mind again.
"Congratulations host, you have successfully cured a disease and received 100 life coins."
"The next disease is ready for you, please choose."
Wu Bin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This system was getting too much, arranging the next step before he even left the hospital!
Wu Bin looked at the options provided by the system, and they were just as he had predicted.
Fracture and sudden death remained the same, severe disability was directly replaced with gastrointestinal disease.
Gastrointestinal disease, huh? That sounded painful.
Having been sick so many times, Wu Bin was now experienced.
Sudden death seemed dangerous, but in reality, it wasn't painful.
Just like his current severe disability, those eyes really hurt!
He had even had He Bingbing search online, and the level of pain from his retinal detachment due to trauma was comparable to an eyeball bursting.
It was only because of Wu Bin's strong will that he didn't faint from the pain on the spot.
If it had been anyone else, they probably would have met their great-grandmother by then.
"It's been a while since I've had sudden death, so let's choose that this time."
As soon as Wu Bin casually said this, he heard Xu Wenyao's voice.
"Wu Bin, what did you just say?"
Wu Bin jumped.
"Principal, how did you get here?"
Knowing Wu Bin couldn't see, Xu Wenyao held his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Of course, I came to see our school's big hero."
"Ah?"
Wu Bin had a bad feeling.
This old guy, he wasn't going to use him for some scheme again, was he?
Sure enough, Xu Wenyao began explaining proudly.
"We at the school learned about what happened to you and sent people to investigate immediately."
"Rest assured, with the school as your strong backing, you don't need to fear anyone!"
"I've also reported Yan Shiqi's threat to you to the higher-ups, and today, they've already given a response—his honorary professor title will be revoked, and he will no longer enjoy those privileges."
Hearing Xu Wenyao say this, Wu Bin inwardly clicked his tongue in wonder.
No wonder Xu Wenyao chose this time to visit him; this old guy was here to take credit!
It made sense upon reflection. With his own story trending, the biggest gains in popularity and traffic belonged to the live broadcasts of He Bingbing and her group.
In comparison, campus social media accounts or other interviews simply didn't match up.
So all Xu Wenyao had to do was make any small gesture and then swing by Wu Bin's side.
This would not only show his concern for Wu Bin but also let him ride the wave of popularity massively.
Knowing what was really going on inside but needing to cooperate outwardly, Wu Bin responded.
"Thank you leaders for your concern, I really am... so touched."
"Hey, it's what should be done."
"By the way, Wu Bin, I've brought you a gift this time, can you guess what it is?"
Xu Wenyao said this as he stuffed a cylindrical object into Wu Bin's hand.
Wu Bin squeezed it and his expression became somewhat strange.
The rubbery feel, cylindrical shape, this length, and form...
Damn, even though you're the principal, you can't be this bold, right?
This is live streaming!
Even someone as shameless as Wu Bin felt his face flush at this moment.
"I appreciate the thought, Principal, but I probably won't need this," he said.
Xu Wenyao thought Wu Bin was being modest and stressed, "Hey, Wu Bin, you don't need to be polite with me. You will definitely need this thing. Just accept it."
Old man!
You're the one who will definitely need it. I'm a straight steel man, alright!
Just as Wu Bin was considering whether to confront Xu Wenyao, Li Guotai's voice came from afar.
"Principal Xu, you're here too?"
"Yes, I'm here to visit Wu Bin and bring him a little gift," replied Xu Wenyao.
"But the kid is too shy to accept my gift, keeps saying he won't need it."
"Dean Li, tell me, isn't this exactly what he's lacking right now?"
Li Guotai glanced at the object in Wu Bin's hand and uttered an "Oh."
"A telescopic white cane? That's some high-quality gear," he said.
"However, Principal Xu, he really won't be needing this right now because we're about to remove his bandages," Li Guotai remarked.
Li Guotai made a gesture, and immediately a nurse drew the curtains and also turned off the lights in the room.
After all, Wu Bin had not seen light for such a long time, and Li Guotai was worried that a sudden bright light might be too much stimulation for his eyes.
It was then that Wu Bin realized he had made a mistake in his thinking.
So it was a telescopic white cane that Xu Wenyao was giving to him!
But he couldn't really be blamed.
After all, it was his first time being blind and he lacked experience.
And indeed, the object Xu Wenyao gave him did feel quite a bit like that other thing, so it's no wonder his thoughts strayed.
Once everything was ready, the head of Ophthalmology stepped forward and carefully started to remove Wu Bin's bandages.
The audience in the live broadcast room was filled with anticipation.
Even though the doctor had said earlier that Wu Bin's eyes were recovering well, who could know for sure until the very last moment?
"Wu Bin, you can slowly open your eyes. Don't rush, just get used to the light around you," said the doctor.
The cameraman thoughtfully gave Wu Bin a close-up shot.
But as soon as Wu Bin opened his eyes, everyone was taken aback.
The viewers in the live broadcast room lost their composure.
"How... How come his eyes look bigger?"
"Is he wearing contact lenses to look this good?"
"I don't understand, why did he get double eyelid surgery while undergoing eye surgery, and did they do a canthoplasty as well?"
"These ophthalmologists are too impressive. I want to have the surgery too!"
Not only were the viewers stupefied, but the entire team of eye doctors was as well.
Li Guotai asked, "What's going on here? Did you guys do a little plastic surgery on the side while operating?"
Chief Liu felt he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
With a mix of laughter and dismay, he said, "No, no, we did everything according to the standard surgical procedure, this... I don't know what happened either!"
Wu Bin knew it was the system's doing.
He didn't want a bunch of people to delve into this issue, or else they might start studying him as some sort of anomaly again.
Before Chief Liu could react, Wu Bin walked over excitedly and firmly grasped Liu's hand.
"Miraculous healing indeed, doctor!"
