nEveryone around her knew that she had been in poor health since young.
nZhao Jingwei and the other girl supported her and asked worriedly, “Chen Chen, are you okay?”
n
n
n“Why is your heart hurting all of a sudden?”
nNow that Fu Ge’s attention was drawn back to her again, she said in a whisper, “I don’t know, it just suddenly started hurting.”
nFu Ge didn’t have time to worry about Qiao Nian, who was soaked all over. With a sullen face, he picked Qiao Chen up horizontally and said to Zhao Jingwei and the others, “I’ll take her to the hospital!”
n“We’re going too!”
n
n
nHaving just been told off by the old man, Zhao Jingwei and the others didn’t have the face to stay here and took the opportunity to follow them.
nFu Ge and his party quickly passed through the crowd and left.
n…
n“Cough, cough!” Qiao Nian heaved a sigh of relief when the little boy vomited water from his stomach and then took off the acupuncture needles from the back of his neck.
n
n
nOnly her neck felt like it was on fire.
nShe wiped the place where it hurt and looked down to see her hand bloodied.
nIt must be because the little boy had grabbed her too hard in panic and had caused her neck to bleed.
nThe old man who had just told off Qiao Chen and the others noticed the wound on her neck and said worriedly, “Little girl, your neck has been scratched. Wait for the disinfection in the hospital. Don’t get infected!”
nQiao Nian didn’t take this bit of blood to heart. When Qiao Chen was seriously ill, she had drawn 300cc of blood every month for her to continue her life. This little bit of blood was no different from a mosquito bite to her.
n“I’m okay.”
n
n
nStill worried, the old man followed her anxiously and said, “You should go to the hospital and get a doctor to examine you. The river water is dirty, and you’ve hurt your neck. It’ll be bad if you get inflammation!”
n“By the way, little girl, did you study Chinese medicine before? I think your acupuncture skills are sophisticated, not like a novice. You’re probably not in college yet at your age, right? Is someone in your family a Chinese medicine doctor? Maybe your grandma or your grandpa?”
nPeople of his generation who knew Chinese medicine were very respected, and everyone believed in it. It was later when science and technology became more and more advanced, and only when Western medicine gradually became the first choice for everyone did Chinese medicine start to decline.
nHe just watched Qiao Nian use acupuncture skillfully and was curious how she knew it despite her young age.
n“… No, I just randomly did it. It was just good luck.”
nThere was a constant buzzing sound in her ears.
nFeeling a headache, Qiao Nian dug out tissue paper from her bag and wiped the blood off her neck. She then absently-minded waved off the old man.
nSince the child had been saved, she still had to go shopping for school tomorrow!
n
n
nAt this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd, and it seemed like someone was coming towards them.
nBefore she could look up, she heard a familiar voice.
n“Qiao Nian?”
nThis voice?
nLooking up, Qiao Nian saw who it was and suddenly paused.
nWhy was it her “friend”, Jiang Li?!
nWhen Ye Wangchuan rushed over and saw so many people gathered under the bridge, he knew that Ye Qichen must be here.
nAlthough afraid that bad news would greet him, his strong self-control forced him to step forward, and the situation was much better than he imagined!
nYe Qichen was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, but he was still breathing. He was curled up, coughing, and spitting water out constantly.
nA step away from him, he saw a girl drenched all over. Her white enamel-like skin was almost white and transparent now, and her black hair was wrapped around her snow-white neck. Her soaked clothes stuck to her body, forming a rough outline of her thin figure. Her dark eyes looked at him in astonishment when she heard him yelling, and she even seemed a little… impatient?
nYe Wangchuan never expected such a scene to greet him when he came over.
nHis subordinates checked Ye Qichen’s body and reported to him in relief. “Master Wang, Young Master is okay. He didn’t fall into the water for long before he was rescued. He’s unconscious and vomiting water…”
