133 Far too Coincidental


    Lu Jiao nced at ssmate Han. He wore expensive clothing and acted gracefully. There was not a trace of nastiness in his eyes. This person was worth getting to know.


    Lu Jiao suddenly remembered the original novel. In the book, Xie Yunjin’s legs were fine. That meant even without her, Xie Yunjin’s legs would have healed. The person who helped him get back to health must’ve been ssmate Han.


    Lu Jiao’s gaze became more cordial as she looked at ssmate Han.


    “Though Yunjin’s legs have been operated on, I still have to thank you, Schr Han. Thank you for keeping him in mind.”


    ssmate Han smiled and corrected, “You can call me ssmate Han. Though Yunjin and I aren’t biological brothers, our friendship is just as strong as if we were.”


    Lu Jiao epted, “Okay.”


    The group of three went into the living room, where the Third Born was teaching the other children how to read.


    ssmate Han was astounded, “What is happening here?”


    “The children from the vige do not know how to read. Yunjin suggested teaching the kids how to read while he is bed bound and resting. Since he just finished surgery, he had asked the four little ones to start the teaching process first.”


    ssmate Han nodded respectfully, “Brother Yunjin is one righteous man.”


    Lu Jiao couldn’t help but sneak a peek at him and wonder if this guy knew that his best friend was going to be the biggest viin.


    In the end, she didn’t say anything and led ssmate Han and the doctor to the east bedroom.


    Xie Yunjin was ecstatic to see ssmate Han. He cheerfully greeted him and asked him to sit.


    Right now, he was engulfed by confidence. Contrary to his depressed and aloof attitude from before, his movements were now light and rxed, enting his handsomeness.


    ssmate Han knew right away that his life had turned around. His rtionship with Lu Jiao must be pretty good these days. He knew that Yunjin hated Lady Lu before. He figured that Yunjin’s heart must’ve melted after Lady Lu’s careful caretaking this past while.


    ssmate Han was genuinely happy for Xie Yunjin. A healthy rtionship between these two was good for the children.


    “I must congratte you, Yunjin, for your recovery.”


    Xie Yunjin asked him to sit while Lu Jiao went to make some tea.


    Inside the room, Dr. Shi, the doctor ssmate Han brought, checked out Xie Yunjin’s wound. When he saw where he was cut and stitched up, he was astonished.


    Since Dr. Shi didn’t speak for a long time, ssmate Han asked worriedly, “Dr. Shi, what happened? Is there a problem?”


    Dr. Shi looked up and said in awe, “The doctor who operated is very skilled. Even my Master cannot do this good of a job with the surgery. Look at the cut and the stitches. Once hepletely heals, he likely won’t even scar. The operating doctor is amazing.”


    Dr. Shi asked Xie Yunjin excitedly, “You said, Dr. Qi from Baohe Tang did your surgery?”


    Xie Yunjin nodded then checked out his legs.


    Before Dr. Shi mentioned it, he didn’t notice. Now that Dr. Shi mentioned it, he realized that there was only one linear wound that was cleanly stitched. He’s heard that surgery tended to leave a nasty cut that could easily swell up and get infected. The healing process was normally very long and there was usually a very thick scar even after the cut was healed.


    Not only was there no infection, swelling, or blisters on his legs, there wasn’t even a scar.


    Xi Yunjin couldn’t help but exim over his dumb luck. How did he manage to encounter someone as skillful as Dr. Qi?


    Xie Yunjin said to Dr. Shi, “Dr. Qi is a doctor who moved here from the Capital City. He’s very capable.”


    Dr. Shi was agitated, “I must go ask Dr. Qi how he managed to keep this wound clean without infection.”


    Inside the room, Lu Jiao overheard the conversation and didn’t know what to say. There were no infections, swelling, or blisters because of the antibiotics. Sadly, there was no such thing in this era.


    Lu Jiao couldn’t help but frown. If only there was a way for her to produce antibiotics.


    Out of all the types of antibiotics, penicillin was the easiest to produce. Needles, however, were hard to make. Syringe needles were normally made out of stainless steel. However, in this day and age, that material didn’t exist.


    Penicillin shouldn’t be taken by mouth. To take it by mouth, potassium ions must be present. Potassium ions could be extracted from potassium chloride. So, she must first find potassium ores.


    Inside the room, ssmate Han couldn’t help but ask more questions, “Yunjin’s legs will be fine then, right?”


    Dr. Shi was firm when he answered, “His legs will bepletely okay without side effects. Honestly, if anyone else operated, he wouldn’t have healed so nicely. Our military doctors could’ve done the surgery but the surgery is normally very difficult on the patient’s body. There are also issues after the math, such as excruciating pain, the inability to stand up for too long, and a scary scar.”


    Dr. Shi was getting more and more excited as his arms flung around, “This is why Dr. Qi is such a great doctor. I must go ask him some questions.”


    Xie Yunjin’s eyes darkened a little. He must remember how much he owes Dr. Qi. If the doctor ever needed anything, he vowed to help him.


    Xie Yunjin turned to look at Lu Jiao, “Lu Jiao, when you see Dr. Qi, thank him for me. He saved my life and I will do everything I can to help him if he ever needs it.”


    Lu Jiao couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. She was the surgeon so that meant he owed her another favor?


    She didn’t want to tell Xie Yunjin she was the one who operated. Once he heals, they will separate. There was no point in getting things messy.


    Lu Jiao nodded, “I will tell him.”


    ssmate Han grinned, “Yunjin, I knew you were a lucky guy! There’s just no way you’d be stuck in this ce all your life.”


    Xie Yunjin was also very happy and said to Lu Jiao, “Cook more dishes tonight. Let’s make sure ssmate Han has a good meal.”


    Lu Jiao didn’t decline, “Okay.”


    She then left. Behind her, ssmate Han caught Yunjin up about what’s been happening at the academy. After the ident, many people from the academy felt sorry for him. If they learned his legs had healed, they would be ecstatic.


    Outside, Lu Jiao mumbled – that may not be the case…


    Geniuses were often the target of those who were jealous. Xie Yunjin was so intelligent that he must have earned much jealousy from others. She was sure that many people were happy to hear he was crippled and disappointed to hear he healed.


    Just then, another realization hit Lu Jiao. Four years ago, Xie Yunjin was drugged, which gave the original host the opportunity to sleep with him. Four yearster, Xie Yunjin was hit by a horse carriage. Wasn’t this far too coincidental?
