She did not pull away from Zhang Yuksheng’s grasp.
The excitement and disbelief touched her deeply, this kinship…
An Yiqing thought, somewhat lost in thought.
“Bang!”
Without another word, Zhang Yuksheng dropped to his knees with a thud, his fists clenched, eyes brimming with tears, “Miss, if you can cure Xiao Feng’s illness, Zhang Yuksheng’s life is yours!”
An Yiqing frowned.
“Get up!
A man’s knees are precious, only meant to kneel to the heavens, the earth, and his parents!
What do you think you’re doing right now?!
I will treat your sister’s illness; there’s no need to offer your life in exchange.
From now on, just work hard for me!” As she spoke, she extended her palm, and Zhang Yuksheng felt as if a current of air had lifted him to his feet.
This girl was indeed no ordinary person; there was hope for Xiao Feng!
“Go and take care of the discharge procedures right now, I need to find a new place to administer treatment.” The hospital was a place with too many prying eyes.
If it became known that she had cured a comatose patient so quickly, she would never have peace.
Zhang Yuksheng, now utterly obedient to An Yiqing, didn’t hesitate and hastily ran out of the ward to handle the paperwork.
The discharge process wasn’t troublesome.
The hospital staff all knew that given Zhang Yuksheng’s situation, it would only be a matter of time before he couldn’t hold on, but they hadn’t expected it to come so soon.
Poor girl, they thought, sighing.
Zhang Yuksheng carried Zhang Yufeng out of the hospital with An Yiqing, hailed a taxi, and after they got inside, An Yiqing closed the door and asked, “Where do you live?”
Zhang Yuksheng’s cheeks reddened, and he hesitated, “I sold the house to pay for Xiao Feng’s treatment.
Now, I’m staying in Zhenbaozhai by myself.”
Realization dawned upon An Yiqing; she had been insensitive.
After pondering for a moment, she decided to arrange for Zhang Yufeng to temporarily stay in an apartment under the Medicine Sect Industry.
Her body needed rest and recuperation, and staying in Zhenbaozhai was inconvenient.
Hmm, it seemed necessary for her to buy a house; having her own place would always make things much more convenient.
The apartment wasn’t far, just a half-hour’s drive away.
Of course, this was also thanks to the taxi driver’s skill; everyone knew that taxi drivers always drove their cars as if they were rockets.
“I will begin the acupuncture now, and no matter what happens to your sister during the process, you must not interfere.
Otherwise, it will all be for naught.” As soon as they settled in, An Yiqing began the treatment.
She hoped that this girl, who made her feel so comfortable, would recover quickly.
Zhang Yuksheng nodded vigorously; as long as his sister could get better, anything was acceptable.
Seeing this, An Yiqing felt relieved.
She pulled out a brocade pouch from her person, laid it out on the table, and the glittering silver needles and the knives with their cold sheen were revealed.
The room was quiet, save for the ticking of the clock and the sound of gentle breathing.
Today, Zhang Yuksheng truly widened his horizons, witnessing such extraordinary silver needles and miraculous needling techniques for the first time.
His admiration for An Yiqing grew immensely.
He had no doubts that his sister would get better; this girl could create miracles!
When An Yiqing ceased her movements, Zhang Yufeng’s body was already filled with silver needles.
An Yiqing pressed her palm against the roof of Zhang Yufeng’s head, where there were no needles, and her vital energy began to circulate.
Gradually, Zhang Yufeng’s body started to tremble, from a slight quiver at first to an intense shaking.
Amazingly, no matter how much Zhang Yufeng’s body shook, not a single needle fell from her.
Zhang Yuksheng was deeply moved as he watched his sister’s reaction.
To him, any movement was far better than lying on the bed motionless!
About ten minutes later, Zhang Yufeng’s body steadily calmed down.
An Yiqing withdrew her vital energy and while removing the needles, said, “After I remove the silver needles, your sister will wake up.
However, she will only regain consciousness and recover her senses.
It will take some time before her body fully recovers.
You two will stay here in the coming days; it’s conducive to her rest, and you can take good care of her.”
Zhang Yusheng listened to An Yiqing’s instructions, his eyes brimming with gratitude.
This girl had not only given him a new lease on life but also saved his sister.
In this lifetime, he, Zhang Yusheng, would never betray her!
Not long after the Silver Needle was completely removed, Zhang Yufeng’s eyelids twitched, and under Zhang Yusheng’s hopeful gaze, her eyes slowly opened.
“Brother…”
Zhang Yufeng felt as if she had slept for a very long time.
In her dreams, it seemed she could hear her brother’s crying, as well as the sinister laughter of Chen Shuhua and Jia Ming, that shameless couple.
She desperately wanted to wake up, desperately wanted to tear that despicable pair to pieces, but she could never move.
“Xiao Feng, you’re finally awake!” Zhang Yusheng heard Zhang Yufeng’s weak calling and broke into tears of joy.
His hands trembled as he tightly held her emaciated hand.
“You’ve been in bed asleep for more than two months now, Xiao Feng.
What would your brother have done if you hadn’t woken up?
It’s so good!
You’re finally awake!” Zhang Yusheng was so excited he was almost incoherent, merely expressing his emotional state over and over with tears streaming down his face.
Gradually regaining clarity of thought, Zhang Yufeng remembered—it was before she was hit unconscious by a truck, and then she knew nothing.
Two months?
She had been asleep for two months?
“Xiao Feng, here’s what happened…” Zhang Yusheng calmed down a bit and slowly recounted the recent events.
As soon as Zhang Yufeng woke up, An Yiqing quietly slipped out of the bedroom, thinking it best to leave the siblings alone at such a time.
She sat absentmindedly on the balcony sofa, somewhat dazed.
The sibling bond between Zhang Yusheng and Zhang Yufeng made her envious—it was an emotion she had never experienced.
To her, the word “kinship” was all too foreign.
In her nineteen years of life, even though her master treated her as his own, he couldn’t provide the sort of motherly love and familial affection.
An Yiqing wasn’t a fragile or sensitive person, but faced with the touching familial love between the Zhang siblings, she couldn’t help feeling envious…
Lost in her thoughts, An Yiqing was startled when her phone suddenly rang.
“Hello?”
“What’s wrong?” Having not seen An Yiqing for a while, Gu Yelin felt that something was missing.
Eventually, he couldn’t resist calling her, wanting to hear her voice, but he sensitively detected that the girl’s mood was somewhat downcast.
Hearing Gu Yelin’s deep, pleasant voice, An Yiqing was stunned.
Was it him?
This man, it seemed, would always appear when she was helpless…
“Hmm…
Nothing much.” An Yiqing didn’t want to show her vulnerability and answered evasively.
“Where are you?” Gu Yelin didn’t press further, he had his ways of knowing everything about her.
“I’m in an apartment, treating Zhang Yusheng’s sister.” An Yiqing did not explain why she was with Zhang Yusheng, as though she subconsciously sensed that Gu Yelin would understand what she wanted to do.
Having heard An Yiqing’s words, Gu Yelin’s dark eyes flickered.
He understood why the little lady was feeling low.
When he thought of her all alone, witnessing the enviable sibling affection of the Zhangs, his heart ached involuntarily.
His cherished one shouldn’t be like this; she should have the very best.
