FCWTO Chapter 4 - Meilan.
Dr. Wang smiled once again. That's exactly what he wanted to hear from Ye Shen. If Ye Shen said; "I am a good person." It means Ye Shen was a deceitful man. There's no way a person would blatantly say that they were a good person in their first meeting. If Ye Shen said he was a bad person, or maybe a criminal, it means that he was an utter fool who had no value and virtue in his life.
When Ye Shen said, "How would I know?" Dr. Wang could relate to him wholly. As a former fighter and a Spec Ops Operator veteran during the post World War 3, he also had killed many who deserve and many who weren't, and often asked that question to his younger self.
"Right." Dr. Wang stood from the chair. "My granddaughter is on her way here. She should arrive very soon."
As if it was queued, the clinic's front door was opened by someone. "Grandpa? Where are you? I brought you lunch."
Ye Shen was intrigued by the woman's voice. He wasn't aware that there's a woman in this clinic.
"Speak of the devil." Dr. Wang quipped. He then poked his head into the corridor. "In the nursery room, can you bring the lunch over here?"
"Sure! Let me plate them first."
Before long, the charming young woman in a white nurse outfit entered the room with a tray full of food and beverage. The black pantyhose enveloped her legs elegantly. Not looking too lewd, yet still looking very appealing and sexy.
Her long black hair draped on her shoulders down to her back, contrasting her fair, pale white skin. In Ye Shen's eyes, who had tasted hundreds of jade beauties in his previous life, she has the most beautiful and charming smile of all. Her crystal clear blue eyes were soothing his mind as soon as their gazes met each other.
Before he knew it, Ye Shen was already charmed by her stunning beauty. However, his attention was diverted when his sight landed on a pair of fox's ears that perked up atop her head. "Why and how could she have those ears? Wait, is she a descendant of goddess by any chance?"
"Oh my! You are awake, at last!" Said the fox-eared young woman, bringing Ye Shen back to reality.
"Y-yes." Ye Shen smiled awkwardly.
"Ekhem." Dr. Wang let out a fake cough to melt the ice between them. "She is my granddaughter, Meilan. And also the nurse of this clinic. She will be the one who is in charge of your recovery, and I will suggest you abide by her words, young lad."
"But…" Ye Shen was actually against the idea. Having a woman to take care of his necessities was quite the embarrassment for him. Moreover, since he couldn't get up on his own and couldn't even move a finger, he had no choice but to get spoon fed by her.
Ye Shen couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. "I will be in your care, Miss Meilan."
"Likewise, Mr. Ye Shen." She smiled charmingly once again.
"I will eat my lunch in the study."
Acknowledging that Ye Shen was very respectful towards her granddaughter, Dr. Wang opted to leave them for the time being just like that.
Afterwards, Meilan put the tray on the table, taking a bowl of congee that had been infused with dozens of medicinal ingredients to help his recovery.
"Say, ahh…" Meilan offered a spoonful in front of his mouth.
Ye Shen grunted a tad, he was reluctant at first. But again, his body was completely wasted. If it wasn't for the last strand of Yang Qi in his Dantian, he might have been in comatose right now.
"How long have I been out?" Ye Shen asked in between the bites.
"A week." Meilan answered in a gloomy tone. "I thought, you will never make it. But, miracles do exist, I guess?"
"Indeed." Ye Shen staring at the ceiling. "Err, about the fee… How much would it cost me?"
"No need to worry about every little thing, Mr. Ye Shen. Besides, this clinic is fully sponsored and backed by the Neo Shanghai Department of Defense for grandpa's heroic deed during the post war conflict."
"Post war conflict?"
"Now, less talking. You still have a few mouthfuls to go." Meilan said, spoon feeding him with a bit force to silence him.
Finished with the meal, Meilan excused herself to prepare for her afternoon shift. Ye Shen couldn't help but to notice her fluffy, silky smooth vixen tail.
"Cute." Ye Shen quipped inwardly, making Meilan shy a tad.

For the next week or so, Ye Shen spent most of his time between his bed and the rest room. Notwithstanding his inability to move freely, Ye Shen was not being complacent, he diligently cultivated the ambience Yang Qi strand by strand.
Ye Shen let out a long sigh by the time his cultivation session was over. "It's not much, but I can still gather strands of Yang Qi from the surrounding air. Just enough to reconstruct my bones and muscles."
After a while Ye Shen noticed something else.
"Hmm, even though the amount of Qi on this planet is little to nothing, the purity was quite high. Wait, this small planet was inhabited by Immortals and Gods by any chance?"
Ye Shen was very intrigued with the history of this small blue planet. He couldn't wait to be able to walk and see the world for himself instead of reading the book and watching videos about Earth.
Time flies by, and three months have passed in a blink, Ye Shen felt his body getting lighter and stronger. As of now, he was already able to walk and do some exercises as a part of his rehabilitation routine. He really didn't expect that he had recovered his body's peak condition much sooner.
By the time he and Dr. Wang did the last check on his physical condition, both Dr. Wang and Meilan were surprised upon seeing his x-ray scan.
"Unbelievable." Dr. Wang put his glasses off. "Your bones and muscle structure are fully recovered. On top of that, the ID CHIP that I put into your spinal cord is now fully integrated with your brains and body."
Ye Shen was beaming with a smile when he got Dr. Wang's approval to be discharged from the clinic. Which means, he was now able to freely do whatever he wished.
However, the same couldn't be said for Meilan. She suddenly withdrew from the examination room with a sulken face.
