At this moment, Wen Ying was lying on the clinic floor-
Her eyes were tightly shut, making her look as if she were merely asleep.
But her face was somewhat pale, more like she was ill.
The body curled up together, this posture seemed to be seeking a sense of security.
Three days later.
When Wen Ying woke up, she found herself in a snow-white room, wearing familiar clothes, lying on a familiar bed.
This is the hospital ward.
After understanding, Dr. Wen sighed. The last thing she saw was the leisurely tea-drinking scene in Loulan.
It was quite clear that she hadn't brought anyone back.
If something happened to Youran Pinming over there, she would bear some responsibility too, after all, she was the one who said it could be cured in one go.
"Xiao Ying, you're awake! I'll call the doctor right away!"
Aunt Zhang walked in from outside, and when she saw Wen Ying, she shouted joyfully and ran off.
The doctor examined Wen Ying and found that, apart from weakness, there were no major issues at the moment. He recommended eating something light.
Aunt Zhang had already cooked the porridge. She had added a bit of minced meat to the millet porridge and insisted on feeding it to Wen Ying.
Wen Ying did not refuse either.
When they finished eating, Aunt Zhang looked at Wen Ying, "Xiao Ying, you're so young, why are you working so hard? Your health is important! If your Uncle Zhang hadn't gone to see you, who knows how long you would have been lying in that clinic. You really scared your Uncle Zhang and me."
Wen Ying obediently admitted her mistake, listening to Aunt Zhang's nagging.
"Forget about those banknotes, we won't be drawing them anymore! The safety of the people up there is the most important thing. If we can't take care of the people up there, how can we manage the ones down here? You should rest more. If you want to eat something, just tell me, alright? Don't be shy with me."
Wen Ying nodded. Although she wanted to be discharged from the hospital, it wasn't appropriate at this time, as it would disappoint the good intentions of others.
"How long have I been lying here?"
"Three days! A full three days! You really scared me and your Uncle Zhang! If the doctor hadn't said your vital signs were normal, your Uncle Zhang would have been wracked with guilt! He wouldn't know how to face your grandmother."
Three days.
There were still three days left until the system upgrade was complete, and for now, she had no way to bring out the Serene Tea House.
I only hope that his merits can temporarily protect him.
Lying in bed, Wen Ying couldn't fall asleep with her eyes closed. After all, she had slept for so long that even a pig couldn't keep sleeping forever.
"Auntie will go home and make dinner, and I'll stew some chicken soup for you to nourish yourself. If you need anything, just call Auntie or Uncle Zhang, okay? To us, you're like our daughter, and since you don't have any relatives in this world, just consider us your family."
Wen Ying nodded with her eyes closed.
How long has it been since she felt what it was like to have family?
It is said that cultivators must sever worldly ties, and she too had once been misled.
In this life, she did not want to repeat the same mistakes.
After Aunt Zhang left, Wen Ying opened her eyes, adjusted the hospital bed, leaned against it, and took out her phone.
The spiritual energy within her body was slowly recovering, but it was still far from what it had been a few days ago, indicating that she had expended too much this time.
It seemed to have exceeded the limit.
If the system were still there, she could use reputation points to buy something that would help her recover, but now she could only rely on herself.
Could it be that without the system, she would be unable to take a single step?
Wen Ying opened her phone and checked the trending topics.
Three days had passed, and unexpectedly, her trending topic was still among the top twenty.
The trending topic about leisurely enjoying tea remained in the top five.
#Taking You Straight to the Secrets of the Ancient City of Loulan#
Inside was a video, evidently recorded from Wen Ying's live stream.
"The ancient city of Loulan has become ruins, and there are still people looking for death? Are treasures that easy to find?"
[This person looks wealthy too, why would they seek death?]
[Whatever Dr. Wen says goes. Do these people really see Dr. Wen as a deity?]
[Hasn't something happened? For those who haven't finished watching the video, look at the end! This person seems to have fallen into a coma. After the hospital's examination, it appears they have become a vegetative state. This is the price of greed! It's retribution!]
[Didn't that Dr. Wen also fall into a coma? Relying on his knowledge of traffic, what did he do to anger the heavens and the earth? Now look! Retribution has come!]
Wen Ying didn't have much feeling about these people's remarks, purely watching the show.
She had long been aware of the nature of keyboard warriors and internet trolls. If she cared about what they said, then she would be the joke.
It was obvious that she was not a joke.
Seeing the fans' comments, even arguing with the keyboard warriors and haters on her behalf, Wen Ying felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
[Who doesn't have a minor illness now and then? What, you get sick and you die? Why be so harsh on Dr. Wen? Did she eat your family's rice?]
[You internet trolls must be living such unsatisfactory lives, huh? Why else would you cling to other people's business all day long? If you have the guts, wait until Dr. Wen recovers and then keep shouting!]
[I've saved all these nicknames and screenshots! Including their profiles! I'll provide them to Dr. Wen when the time comes!]
Wen Ying looked at some words and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Little girl, life is just like this. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all normal. If we treat every day as the last day, we will live very happily."
Wen Ying looked towards the source of the sound. In the hospital room, there were two beds, and the person was an old man lying on the inner bed.
I haven't seen them, and I don't know them.
"Don't be afraid. If you get sick, you treat it. If you get better, live well. If you don't, well, that's just an illness."
Wen Ying nodded, "You're right, that's why I take it lightly."
"What illness do you have?" the somewhat gaunt grandfather asked.
"Physical weakness, possibly caused by overexertion. Rest and a good meal should do the trick."
Hearing this, all the comforting words Grandpa had intended to say got stuck in his throat.
"Why are you crying and laughing over nothing? You scared this old man to death!"
The old man glared at her, then closed his eyes and said nothing more.
Wen Ying smiled but did not answer.
On Weibo.
Psychologist Wen Ying V: I was just too tired and fell asleep, but now I'm awake. Thank you, fireflies, for your concern.
[Wow!!! Dr. Wen posted on Weibo! So happy!!!]
[Dr. Wen said we are fireflies! Boohoo! Following Dr. Wen for so long, we finally have a title!]
[No longer a wildflower outside! I am a firefly!!!]
[Dr. Wen is online, where are the haters? Why aren't they jumping around anymore? Looking forward to a live chat, I'm so sneaky, hahaha!]
[Dr. Wen, what exactly is the matter with leisurely enjoying tea?]
Ding ding ding: [Didn't Dr. Wen say he could cure it in one go? Why is it more serious this time even though that patient paid?]
[Why doesn't Dr. Wen answer this question? Will he continue to boast and swindle money in the future?]
Psychologist Wen Ying V replied to {Dang Dang Dang}: How do you know that patient isn't currently in a session? Or is it that you only want to hear the results you desire? Sorry, I can't satisfy you.
