Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 167 - 167 167 Outrageous Conditions

?Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Outrageous Conditions Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Outrageous Conditions “What is this…?” Li Dongliang was shocked and lifted Bai Xiao’s hand to have a closer look.

The veins on the hand were all visible, blue and exposed, like white jade, but why was the temperature so low?

“Every time I use acupuncture, I consume my own Inner Strength. This so-called Inner Strength is what I have cultivated over time by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, which essentially is my own Internal Qigong. In plain terms, it’s my own vitality. Once consumed, it causes my entire body to enter a state of hypothermia.

That’s why I must demand perfect measures for heat preservation, and I need to be provided with enough heat. Otherwise, if you really can’t provide these for me, then I can only see one patient a day. I won’t die from the cold with just one, but if I have to see ten or eight patients, I’m afraid I can’t manage.”

Li Dongliang now understood that this person really had skills. He had heard that those who practiced Hard Qigong and Internal Qigong would become powerless once they exhausted their Qigong, weaker even than ordinary people. Bai Xiao must be one of those talented individuals.

If that’s the case, then what she said wasn’t wrong. After consuming a large amount of vitality, one certainly needs a lot of protein to replenish it, to speed up the body’s energy absorption, and to ensure that there’s sufficient strength for subsequent work. Otherwise, it’d be like dying from burning out one’s own energy.

He had heard that truly skilled Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors did have great abilities; stories of a needle bringing the paralyzed to their feet were not unheard of. He didn’t expect this young girl to come from such an impressive background.

If one day their hospital also had such talented people, their personnel would surely be the first to benefit.

He hoped that today he had the discerning eye to recognize a hero and that his effort in recruiting would not be in vain.

“Alright, alright, that condition is no problem, I can agree to it,” Li Dongliang’s mood relaxed, as the young woman hadn’t made any excessively demanding requests.

Bai Xiao removed the needles and put them back in the acupuncture kit strapped around her waist.

“Then if you have no other concerns, we have an agreement, and I can report for duty at any time.”

Li Dongliang nodded, “Once we get out of the car, my people will come over and take you directly to the hospital to report for duty. You can give your admission notice from Aviation University to my secretary, who will handle the remaining procedures for you.” Finally feeling relieved of the heavy stone that had been pressing on his heart, Li Dongliang felt extremely fatigued and slowly closed his eyes.

Bai Xiao remained silent, as things had strangely taken a turn for the better.

She, who was supposed to be at Aviation University, abruptly found herself working in a hospital. One second she may have been a university student, the next a doctor. Wasn’t that a fortuitous coincidence?

The car arrived at the hospital, and Li Dongliang was taken to the emergency room, but before leaving, he still instructed his secretary, and so after Li Dongliang was taken for surgery, the secretary Zhang He came to find the two siblings.

“You are Bai Xiao?” Having heard from the leader it was a girl, Zhang He sized her up. So thin, almost like a skeleton, she didn’t look remarkable.

Traditional Chinese Medicine?

He reckoned she just performed emergency care on the leader; otherwise, the leader wouldn’t have noticed this girl.

Bai Xiao nodded, “Then follow me, give me your admission notice from Aviation University. Lucky for us you didn’t report yet. If you had, you wouldn’t be allowed to skip school, and that would have to be dealt with by a higher authority. Let’s go!” Saying that, he led Bai Xiao outside.

Bai Song hurriedly followed, “Our luggage is still at the site of the car accident!” That was all new bedding prepared by their family, several pounds of freshly cotton-stitched quilts, a real pity to lose them.

Zhang He turned to look at Bai Song, “Who are you?”

He looked like someone from the same profession, but it was unclear what his relationship was with the boss.

“I am Bai Xiao’s older brother.”

“Where are you from?” Zhang He became somewhat curious.

“I am Bai Song, from a certain district’s secret mission team.” Bai Song introduced himself.

“Wow, that’s impressive, to be from there. You must have some skills. Shall we go and check out the scene first? Grab your luggage, and then I’ll take Bai Xiao to the hospital.” Zhang He patted Bai Song on the shoulder, immediately bridging the gap upon learning they were on the same side.

The three of them quickly returned to the scene where, before their arrival, the police had already cleaned up. Their luggage was kept in the car since no one had claimed it; it would wait there until someone came to claim it. Now that they had arrived, the police had them go through the formalities, signing and stamping before they could take their belongings.

Zhang He helped Bai Song load the luggage into the car.

“You’re back? I’ve been waiting here, hoping to find you!” A voice interrupted, and all three turned around.

It was then that Bai Xiao noticed Yan Chunlu.

The young nurse who had been busy saving people was still there.

“Why haven’t you left?” Bai Song looked around; the scene had mostly cleared.

Yan Chunlu, upon seeing Bai Song and Bai Xiao, lit up with joy, “I couldn’t give up. You helped me so much, I at least had to find out your names. I didn’t expect I’d really be able to wait for you. My name is Yan Chunlu, I’m the head nurse of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at The Ninth Hospital.” Everyone could tell from the look on her face that she was genuinely happy.

Bai Xiao extended his hand to introduce himself, “I am Bai Xiao, and this is my older brother, Bai Song.”

Zhang He glanced at the three of them and chuckled, “Well, since there are three of us, let’s all go together. Since you’re the head nurse, you must need to get back to the hospital. I’m taking these two there as well; it’s on the way. Get in the car.” He got into the driver’s seat first.

Bai Song opened the car door for his sister; he was worried about Bai Xiao being embarrassed since a country girl like her wouldn’t know how to open a car door. Bai Xiao entered the car confidently, and Yan Chunlu smiled with her teeth showing to Bai Song, “Thank you!” She climbed shyly into her seat, and Bai Song closed the car doors for them before sitting in the passenger seat.

“Why are you two going to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?” Yan Chunlu evaluated them, failing to find any signs of injury. Recollecting the recent events, the car accident didn’t seem to have affected the three of them.

Bai Xiao shook her head, “We’re not injured. It just so happens that I start working at The Ninth Hospital from today.” She felt pretty good about encountering someone familiar.

Yan Chunlu perked up upon hearing this.

“You work at The Ninth Hospital too? Which department? Now we’ll be colleagues. When you’re off duty, we can go shopping together.” Yan Chunlu had a special fondness for Bai Xiao and Bai Song. The brother was heroic and dominating, and the sister was a medical expert. Both of them coincidentally had a connection with her and had been her heroes by chance.

“I’m in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.” Bai Xiao responded, noticing that Yan Chunlu was a straightforward person.

“The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, huh? No wonder you used acupuncture just now. Your medical skills are impressive; just one needle and I saw the appendicitis stop hurting,” Yan Chunlu said with a look of amazement that pleased Bai Xiao.

Such innocent girls were indeed a rare sight.
