Ah.
Su Zui dared to sneak a kiss while I was unconscious!
How could she do this!?
Li Qianfan, who was feigning unconsciousness, suddenly felt all his nerves tighten after Mao Mao leaned down and kissed him lightly.
If not for his body being sore and weak, almost numb, and his exceptionally strong willpower, he would have been so startled that he would have opened his eyes.
In Li Qianfan's memory—
Su Zui, now renamed Su Mao Mao, was the woman he detested the most.
Overbearing, and most importantly, she was always meddling (not only interfering in matters between him and Du Junlin, but also instigating Old Shen to go to the Dragon Ruins and spouting nonsense).
Most importantly.
Even during the days Li Qianfan spent in Lingnan, reluctant to leave, he and Su Mao Mao disliked each other.
Then why did she, while Li Qianfan was unconscious, steal a kiss from him?
And not just once!
"This little vixen, couldn't she be trying to make it real because I agreed to be the godfather to her future child?"
As Li Qianfan thought this, something even more unacceptable happened.
Su Zui, after wiping her mouth, directly started touching him.
Holy crap—
No!
She was indeed touching Li Qianfan, but not disrespectfully; she was massaging his leg.
Meng Yue's analysis was correct.
When Li Qianfan underwent inhumane vivisection, it triggered a certain mysterious protection mechanism in the original 209, ensuring that he could remain in a coma for an extended period and survive even if buried alive.
Even after Li Qianfan finally woke up.
But after 209 was forced to activate its protective mechanism for the first time, his entire being was in a "dead" state.
Only his brain activity (neural networks) could function normally, used to analyze his surroundings and threat levels.
This feeling was somewhat similar to the "sleep paralysis" from folk legends.
That is, the mind is clear, terrified, but unable to cry out loudly or move.
Only in certain moments could one suddenly move.
Therefore.
Meng Yue had asked Su Nanyin to find someone to massage Li Qianfan, aiming to awaken his normal functions as soon as possible.
But absolutely no one should know that Li Qianfan had just undergone "inhumane" vivisection.
Otherwise, the Guanyin Worm Project could be exposed.
Su Nanyin was not at ease leaving professional technicians to help Li Qianfan recover his abilities, and since she could finally rest for a few days, she decided to do it herself.
For the two days Li Qianfan was unconscious, it was Su Nanyin and Su Zui who had been acting as technicians, massaging his shoulders and arms.
Li Qianfan understood all of this.
But he still couldn't accept Su Zui's act of stealing a kiss.
But what of it?
Li Qianfan couldn't just open his eyes and scold Su Zui for being shameless, could he?
If he really did that—
What if he angered this woman, and she took out a knife and cut him?
"I'll just pretend nothing happened."
"Sister Wujiang, too, why would she send me to the Su family?"
"Just one 'Scorpion Guanyin' makes me tremble."
"Was I picked up from a trash heap by Sister Wujiang?"
"Otherwise, how could she disregard my life and death."
Li Qianfan grumbled internally as Su Nanyin walked over.
"Sigh, I wonder when this brat will wake up."
Su Nanyin sighed, sat down to Li Qianfan's left, facing Su Zui across him, placed his left leg on her knee, and began to massage it with decent force.
Su Zui said nothing.
The two of them, thus, patiently massaged Li Qianfan's legs.
"How about I call Chongchong over?"
More than ten minutes later, Su Zui asked, shaking her sore hand.
Su Nanyin refused: "It's better not to let her come. The fewer people who know about the brat's current condition, the safer it is."
"Mm."
Su Zui changed the subject: "Mom, do you think it would be more effective to prick him with needles?"
Su Nanyin asked: "Do you know acupuncture?"
"No."
Su Zui shook her head: "But I think if we just randomly poke him, it might stimulate his nerves?"
Damn it!!
Li Qianfan, upon hearing this, only wanted to curse.
Is acupuncture just random poking?
What if he gets crippled?
"Nonsense."
Su Nanyin also scolded: "Don't talk or do things you don't understand. If you damage him, Junlin will definitely fight you."
"Heh heh, I was just saying it casually."
Su Zui chuckled sheepishly and said, "But the Great Elder of Li Village also said he would quickly find a way to wake him up. It's been two days and two nights, and he still hasn't found it."
"It's mainly because his condition is too special—"
Just as Su Nanyin said this, the screen of the phone on the cabinet suddenly lit up.
It was past four in the morning.
Calls at this hour were usually for "emergencies" or urgent matters.
It was Li Wujiang calling.
Su Nanyin immediately picked up the phone and held it to her ear: "What, did something happen?"
Li Wujiang, however, asked: "Has Qianfan woken up?"
"No."
Hearing Li Wujiang first care about her son, Su Nanyin breathed a sigh of relief: "Even if you're worried about him, don't call at this hour. You made me think something big happened, my heart was pounding."
"I'm calling to tell you. My Empress Dowager will be speaking with you soon."
Li Wujiang said: "I told Empress Dowager Xiao about Qianfan's current situation. She's also been thinking about how to wake him up these past two days. Acupuncture won't work, unless she does it herself. But she absolutely cannot return casually right now. Alright, you speak with her yourself."
The call ended.
Half a minute later.
Su Nanyin's phone rang again.
Yang Xiao called, getting straight to the point: "Regarding Qianfan's condition, besides massage, there's only one other method."
Su Nanyin immediately pressed: "What method?"
Yang Xiao, however, asked: "Is it convenient for you to talk right now?"
Su Nanyin paused for a moment and replied: "Convenient."
Yang Xiao then said: "Immediately send someone to Tian Dong to bring Chu Yazhi to your place. The only hope of waking him up, especially restoring his limb nerves, might be Chu Yazhi."
Su Nanyin was stunned again: "Chu Yazhi knows medicine?"
"She doesn't. But she is Qianfan's woman."
Yang Xiao replied.
Chu Yazhi is Li Qianfan's woman—
Su Zui was full of confusion.
But Su Nanyin raised her eyebrows and understood: "You mean, to wake Qianfan up, you have to wake up his, his root first?"
Su Zui then suddenly realized.
Her eyes towards her mother were filled with admiration.
This high intelligence was far beyond that of ordinary people.
"Yes."
Yang Xiao said calmly: "The nerves there are the most uncontrollable and sensitive. They are also the most capable of mobilizing the entire body's nerves. As long as the nerves there are activated, all other nerves will be stimulated."
"Alright, I'll arrange it immediately."
Once Su Nanyin understood what was going on, she no longer hesitated.
The call ended.
She frowned and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Su Zui's mouth: "Maomao, do you want Chu Yazhi to come? Or?"
Or what?
Su Nanyin didn't say.
Su Zui understood.
She blushed slightly and lowered her head: "I, I'll do it."
Su Nanyin, however, was full of concerns: "What if he wakes up and sees it's you?"
Cough.
Su Zui coughed: "I'm saving a life, he can only thank me."
"You're right. We have mouths at home, why bother with others?"
Su Nanyin smiled strangely and put down Li Qianfan's leg: "I'm going to sleep for a while."
Li Qianfan shouted internally: "Can someone tell me what 'we have mouths at home' means?"
*Crack.*
Su Nanyin went out and closed the door.
Su Zui took a deep breath—
Li Qianfan quickly opened his eyes.
He didn't want Su Mao Mao to do anything to him with the bad idea provided by Empress Dowager Xiao.
Since Su Nanyin was gone anyway, he might as well pretend to have just woken up, figure out what was going on, and then have Chu Yazhi come over.
He opened his mouth—
Holy crap!
Why can't I speak!?
Li Qianfan not only couldn't speak but couldn't even open his mouth.
The only thing he could do was open his eyes and roll them back and forth.
But Su Zui could open her mouth—
