331: Chapter 331: An Unspeakable Touching Feeling!
“Grandfather—” Liu Shiyi’s face reddened, and tears could no longer be held back from streaming down her cheeks.
These past years alone had seen her grandfather suffer enough hardship, and now in his old age, instead of enjoying some peace and quiet, he was enduring such agony.
“Grandfather, let’s go to Donglin First Hospital.
I’ll go plead with the top expert Rao Yuanzhi, maybe he will have a way to cure you.”
The elder Mr.
Liu said with heartache, “Don’t be sad for me, Shiyi.
It’s fate; I accept it.
It’s no use, I’m a doctor too, and you, being a medical student, should understand that there’s no way left.
Sigh, it looks like I’ll be a burden to you from now on.”
“Who says there’s no way left, I have a way.” Tangyu’s voice suddenly rang out.
Liu Shiyi was also taken aback, staring blankly at Tangyu before excitedly grabbing his arm.
“Tangyu, what did you just say?
You have a way to save my grandfather, really?”
“Of course, it’s true.” Tangyu nodded.
Liu Shiyi urged him immediately, “That’s great, then please start treating my grandfather quickly.”
“Hmm, don’t worry, relax, there won’t be any issue,” Tangyu consoled, then squatted down to look at the elder Mr.
Liu.
The elder Mr.
Liu, too, regarded Tangyu with a complex expression, frowning slightly.
“You have a way?”
“Yes, Grandfather Liu, please do not speak for the moment.
Let me start treating your illness,” Tangyu nodded and his expression became serious.
The old man’s bones had already aged considerably, making them quite fragile, and any improper handling could lead to breakage.
Once broken, the bones would be mostly irreparable because they would have lost their vitality and could no longer grow back together.
Normally, a broken bone would not be so severe, but the fractured lumbar spine was associated with the sciatic nerve.
Damage to the sciatic nerve could paralyze the entire body from such a fracture.
Tangyu had Wang Ma help turn the elder Mr.
Liu over, and without any hesitation, he applied the Immortal Finger Technique immediately, infusing Pure Yang Qi into the elder’s body.
The Immortal Finger Technique, already mysterious and unfathomable in its power, paired with Pure Yang Qi, could restore vitality.
After nearly twenty minutes, Tangyu stopped, wiped the slight sweat from his forehead, and said to the elder Mr.
Liu, “All right, Grandfather Liu, try standing up and see.”
Liu Shiyi was also filled with surprise, her eyes brimming with anticipation as she watched the elder Mr.
Liu.
In the elder’s eyes, there was also a flash of astonishment, but he indeed felt as if his body had truly recovered.
He tried standing up and found that he could exert strength in his waist, although there was still a faint pain.
He didn’t dare to exert too much force and it took him more than a minute to get up.
Standing up straight, the elder Mr.
Liu felt his lumbar spine.
Apart from a slight pain, there really was no other discomfort.
“This—it’s miraculous, the master is completely cured,” Wang Ma also exclaimed in surprise, her mouth wide open as she looked at the elder Mr.
Liu in disbelief.
“Grandfather, you’re alright.” Liu Shiyi was exceptionally excited, bursting into joyful tears.
The feeling was truly hard to contain.
No one understood how important the grandfather was in Liu Shiyi’s heart, nor could anyone comprehend her emotions at that moment.
The elder Mr.
Liu chuckled as well, touched by this feeling of having survived a great peril.
He had thought his life was over and that he would have to spend the rest of his days confined to a bed.
But unexpectedly, Tangyu had once again performed a Divine Technique, completely healing him.
The Immortal Finger Healing Technique really was too incredible, truly unfathomable.
Truly deserving of being called the number one Divine Technique of all times.
“Elder Mr.
Liu, your spine has just been set right and will need about half a month to a month to slowly recuperate.
I will write a prescription later.
If you follow my instructions and take it for one to two months, I guarantee you will feel a decade younger, with a robust body moving forward,” Tangyu said.
“Hehe,” the elder Mr.
Liu also took Tangyu’s hand, overflowing with admiration and affection.
“Tangyu, you’ve saved this old man’s life once again, and I truly don’t know how to thank you enough.
Haha, it’s true what they say: young heroes come from the youth.
At such a young age, you possess such exquisite medical skills; it’s truly admirable.
I even think about marrying my granddaughter to you as thanks, haha.”
Hearing the elder Mr.
Liu joke, Liu Shiyi felt both happiness and shyness in her heart.
“What are you saying, Grandfather?
He already has a girlfriend.” After saying this, Liu Shiyi felt that her words were somehow inappropriate.
What did that mean?
If Tangyu didn’t have a girlfriend, would she be willing to marry him?
Thinking about the other implications of her words, Liu Shiyi’s face turned red again.
She rarely blushed, but at that moment, she felt a certain bashfulness of a young girl.
“Hmm, he has a girlfriend already?” Elder Mr.
Liu suddenly looked a bit disappointed.
It wasn’t easy to find a young man who could fully satisfy him, and now he already had a girlfriend.
Elder Mr.
Liu sighed softly and shook his head.
“It seems our Shiyi really doesn’t have that good fortune.
I wonder which family’s daughter is so lucky.”
Tangyu didn’t want to discuss this matter, but since Elder Mr.
Liu had brought it up, he had no choice but to answer forcefully, “It’s Lin Feifei, heir to the Lin Group, Elder Liu.
Let’s not talk about this right now.
Your body has just recovered and you need to rest more.
You should go back to your room and rest for now.
It’s better to lie down more in the coming days.”
“I’ll write the prescription right away.
It would be best to start taking the medicine tonight.
In this way, Elder Liu, you won’t have to worry about moving around in the future.
Nevertheless, since your bones have aged, it’s still better to be careful.”
“Hmm, you’re the doctor; I’ll listen to you, hehe.” Elder Mr.
Liu nodded.
Wang Ma escorted Elder Mr.
Liu back to his room, while Liu Shiyi stayed to entertain Tangyu.
Tangyu took pen and paper and wrote the prescription, handing it to Liu Shiyi.
“It’s getting late; I should head back.
Take good care of Elder Liu, tell him to move less for now, and even if he has to move, keep an eye on him,” Tangyu said.
Liu Shiyi looked at Tangyu and nodded with eyes brimming with tears, “I understand, thank you Tangyu, I really don’t know how to thank you, truly thank you.
If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t know what to do in the future.” As she spoke, Liu Shiyi’s nose soured again.
Tangyu’s own nose felt sour, and he gently embraced Liu Shiyi.
He didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt the urge to hug her, so he just did.
Being held by Tangyu like this, Liu Shiyi was also startled, but she immediately felt relieved and felt the warmth coming from Tangyu’s arms.
This warmth was something her heart longed for, a warmth she liked very much.
However, Liu Shiyi also felt lost.
This feeling was like a beautiful but transient bloom of a night-blooming cereus which, after its brief appearance, would vanish.
She and Tangyu were destined never to be.
The gratitude she felt could only be kept in her heart, not spoken aloud.
There was someone she could only keep in her memory, and not dare to hope for more.
Holding Liu Shiyi felt good, beautiful—it was something one might want to freeze in time, to last forever.
Tangyu softly patted Liu Shiyi’s back and said, “No need to thank me; it was just a helping hand.
We are friends, good friends.”
“Right, friends, good friends,” Liu Shiyi’s nose became even sourer, sour enough that she wanted to cry.
Yes, she and Tangyu were just friends, good friends, hmph.
That was all they could be for a lifetime.
Women are the easiest to touch and the easiest to sadden.
At this moment, Liu Shiyi felt both moved and sad.
For the first time, she felt that she might have fallen for Tangyu.
The gratitude she felt for the two life-saving rescues, especially after learning Tangyu had a girlfriend, became even stronger.
Maybe, she really had fallen for Tangyu.
But, by the time she realized this, a mountain had already been erected between herself and Tangyu; he had become someone else’s boyfriend.
It was a sad and pitiful situation.
Sometimes forgetting is a kind of happiness, maybe it was time for her to let go and forget.
Perhaps, this was just a moment of being touched; it wasn’t necessarily love.
After seeing Tangyu off, Liu Shiyi still stood there dazed, her heart feeling as if it had been hollowed out.
After leaving the Medicine Hall and thinking about Liu Shiyi’s expression and the shining tears in her eyes, Tangyu couldn’t help but sigh.
Unknowingly, he had deeply touched another woman.
Since ancient times, being moved has always been the best weapon to capture a woman’s heart.
Just now, Tangyu had felt Liu Shiyi’s affection towards him.
If he had been a bit bolder then, he could have completely won her over.
Only, there was Lin Feifei standing in his way.
“Love can be both sweet and sorrowful.
It seems I must think carefully about how to handle my relationships.
Master said I have a big heart, that I am too benevolent.
It looks like Master was right.
I can’t let go of any of them.
To give up would be the greatest pain.
Feifei might accept it, but I don’t know if the others could.
Let’s just take it one step at a time,” Tangyu shook his head.
Some people worry about not having a girlfriend; he worried about having too many, the difference in life’s struggles was immense.
Shaking his head, a streak of cold light suddenly flashed, and Tangyu’s senses immediately tensed up, a feeling of danger sweeping over him.
It was then that Tangyu snapped back to his senses and noticed a figure approaching him, brandishing a sharp knife and thrusting it fiercely towards his heart.
Tangyu was jarred into alertness and quickly mustered two hundred percent of his spirit, his pupils shrinking.
If he was stabbed now, he would be done for.
The speed was too fast, and the distance too close.
At this point, dodging was almost impossible.
Tangyu gritted his teeth.
Pure Yang Qi burst forth in an instant, channeling almost all of his body’s Pure Yang Qi into his hand in a flash, a halo engulfing his palm just in time to shield his chest.
The assassin’s knife, as expected, struck Tangyu’s palm.
Normally, even if one were to block with their palm, it would be impossible to escape death.
After all, this was an extremely sharp military knife and even if it pierced through the palm, it could still rupture the heart.
This was also due to Tangyu being preoccupied just now, his guard was down, coupled with the fact that the assassin, a true professional, had approached without making a sound, leaving Tangyu unaware and giving the assailant a chance to attack.
“Bang!”
When the assassin’s knife hit the halo of light, it was met with an immense resistance, and the assailant’s face changed immediately.
“Hmph,” Tangyu snorted coldly, his other fist already swung hard towards the assassin’s face.
“Bang!” The assassin was directly knocked back flying, spouting a mouthful of blood in midair.
Without hesitation, Tangyu rushed forward, not giving the assassin any chance to recover.
