Hearing this, Luo Yun was stunned. She had no idea that Bai Qijun had been dumped in the past. The book had not mentioned such an event at all. All that she knew was that although Bai Qijun was the most favored grandson of the Bai family, he refused to accept the family’s business and remained only dedicated to the country. She wondered which woman was so brave to actually dump him like that.

However, she also knew that she would not be able to get any further information out of Bai Qihan. Thinking of how pitiful Bai Qijun was, she said directly, “He’s your second brother, and he already apologized to me. Moreover, he even gave me ointment and fruits. I won’t hold what he did today against him.”

“Turn your face around.” Bai Qihan took some ointment, unscrewed the cap, and dabbed a cotton swab in the ointment before applying it on her face.

At this moment, their faces were right in front of each other. They were so close to one another that she could even feel his breath on her face.

Bai Qihan lowered his gaze and poured some ointment on his hand, rubbing it on her wrist. “That should be enough.”

“Thank you for standing up for me today.” Luo Yun felt that Bai Qihan, who had threatened her aunt today, was too handsome. He was so handsome that her legs almost went weak.

Bai Qihan said, “If she hits you, she’s slapping my face.”

Luo Yun was speechless. That was true, but could he not have said it in a nicer way? “Is that the only reason?”

Bai Qihan raised his eyebrow slightly.

“When I was bullied, your heart ached too,” said Luo Yun.

Bai Qihan was silent.

“Don’t deny it. I could see the heartache in your eyes.” Luo Yun leaned over, unbridled. “Is it that difficult for you to admit it? Tell me, did you feel sorry for me?”

“Yes.” As if by a stroke of luck, he actually admitted it.

Suddenly, Luo Yun felt that her face no longer hurt, and her hands were no longer numb. She went even closer. “Actually, I was super angry at first, but the moment you came over, the anger in my heart slowly dissipated.” She did not know where her confidence came from, but she felt that Bai Qihan would protect her.

“Things happened so suddenly today. I came late and made you suffer.” Bai Qihan lowered his eyes.

“Actually, it’s a small matter to be wronged. If I had not managed to save grandfather, it would have been a whole different story.” Thinking about it now, Luo Yun still felt a little scared. As a doctor, she was used to seeing birth, aging, illness, and death, but she really hated seeing life slip away in her arms.

“The doctors praised your professional first aid skills today,” said Bai Qihan.

“Mm, I learned it in the past…” Luo Yun thought for a moment and then admitted it directly, “Actually, I know about medicine. When I told you that I might be able to help you with your legs, I wasn’t just saying it for the sake of saying it. If I manage to stimulate just the right acupoints, it might be possible to help you be able to use your legs again.”

“When I was ten years old, doctors had already diagnosed that I would never be able to stand up again. This year, I am already thirty years old, and I have never been able to stand since then. It’s already been twenty years. It’s impossible.”

Luo Yun thought that it was just because the medical science in this world was not developed enough. She reached out and covered his knee. “Don’t be so pessimistic. Maybe in a few years, medicine will have advanced even further. Technology has always been improving. Things that you have always deemed impossible or never have even dared to imagine or even understand may become a reality after certain thresholds have been passed.”

Bai Qihan stared at her and felt that she was becoming more and more intelligent.

If a woman was beautiful, you might take a second look at her. However, when she was not only beautiful, but also intelligent and clear-minded, you could eventually fall in love with her unknowingly.

Luo Yun took the opportunity to press down on Bai Qihan’s leg and silently checked it. She found that he did indeed have no feeling in them. At this level, a massage was no longer enough. He needed acupuncture stimulation. She also had to promote the regeneration of bone marrow neural stem cells through surgery. Only then could he stand up again.

“Your hand still hurts. Don’t exert them.” Bai Qihan stopped her. “It’s already getting late. Let’s just rest. ”

Luo Yun’s forehead was covered in sweat. Her hand was indeed in pain, and after pressing on his acupoints for a while, she was indeed a little tired. Feeling thirsty, she turned around and picked up the glass of water beside her. She raised her neck and drank it in one gulp.

Her slender jawline drew an exquisite arc in the air.

Bai Qihan suddenly felt that his lips were a little dry.

Luo Yun put down the cup and saw a square box with a fruit pattern on it. It looked like chewing gum. He picked it up and took a look. “Chewing gum? Why is it here?”

Bai Qihan could tell what it was at a glance. Before he could say anything, Luo Yun had already torn it open.

Soon, Luo Yun knew what it was. It was strawberry-flavored… Her face was red as she hurriedly stuffed the things back out of her mouth. It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, it was only a second before she heard her own voice. “Uhh, let’s go to sleep.”
