Chapter 19 Trouble
Liu Ziyan said, "It's because Duan Qingxue is the granddaughter of Duan Haoran!"
Speaking of Duan Haoran, his fame is well-known in Galaxy City; no one can estimate his wealth. In this city with a population of over thirty million, it is rare to find someone who hasn't heard of Duan Group.
Duan Group was founded by Duan Haoran and spans many industries, from construction to beauty products, and even education, with business operations both domestically and internationally.
Although Duan Haoran is just a name, many people have only heard of him without ever seeing him; even high-ranking local officials find it extremely difficult to meet him.
How could someone like Xiao Yun not know about such a prominent figure?
How could Duan Qingxue possibly be the granddaughter of Duan Haoran?
The granddaughter of a famous billionaire in the galaxy would not be making a living by running a flower shop; who would believe that?
It doesn't make sense!
"Uh..." Xiao Yun asked with a smile, "How do you know she is Duan Haoran's granddaughter?"
Liu Ziyan replied, "Many people in Galaxy City know; how could I not be aware of her identity!"
Xiao Yun thought to himself, could Liu Ziyan be trying to sow discord to make him her bodyguard? Women can sometimes be petty.
But looking at her expression, she didn't seem to be lying at all!
"Thank you for the reminder, Sister Liu," Xiao Yun said, not wanting to discuss Duan Qingxue any further. He smiled at her and added, "Let me help you with your lumbar spine instead!"
"What method will you use to replace it for me?" Liu Ziyan looked at Xiao Yun with some concern, even doubting whether the person she had invited was a wandering doctor.
If he were a wandering doctor, then that kiss he gave her had left her with no feelings at all, and that troublesome extra tooth that even doctors in big hospitals found annoying was now in his hands.
Looking at his sunny smile, how could someone like him possibly possess the innocence typical of a wandering doctor?
Xiao Yun's answer, however, made her even more incredulous:
"I'll use my painting to replace your bone!"
"Painting?" Liu Ziyan gasped in surprise.
"Uh... of course..."
Xiao Yun stopped explaining further; some things became more unclear the more they were explained. He casually brushed it off with a simple "of course," not caring about her doubts.
He took off his backpack and pulled out paper, ink, brushes, and a Miniature Oven, placing them one by one on the Tea Table. Liu Ziyan silently watched as he dried the tooth, ground it into powder, and placed it on the inkstone before beginning to grind the ink.
From the side, his masculine face showed such focus that there was not a hint of joking in his demeanor. Could it be that he really intended to use painting to replace someone's bone?
Also, how did he see that my lumbar vertebra was injured by the Thousand-Year Ice Needle?
And his extraordinary martial arts skills...
This guy is truly a mysterious person!
Liu Ziyan's thoughts drifted as she gazed at him somewhat foolishly. Remembering his kiss from earlier, her face involuntarily flushed again. This guy was too harsh; even if it was to take that tooth, he shouldn't have just skimmed over it like that!
Uh—what's happening to me?
Just as Liu Ziyan was lost in thought, Xiao Yun had already finished drawing the lumbar vertebrae.
He pushed the drawing on the Tea Table in front of Liu Ziyan and asked with a smile, "Sister Liu, does this look like your lumbar vertebrae?"
Liu Ziyan had seen the X-ray images taken by the doctor before. Thinking about the day she could stand up from her wheelchair, she often studied those images, and her lumbar vertebrae were etched in her mind like a drawing.
She looked at Xiao Yun's drawing and was astonished to find that the lumbar vertebrae in the drawing looked exactly like those in the X-ray images given to her by the doctor.
The only difference was that the X-ray appeared somewhat blurry, while his drawing was incredibly lifelike, as if she could reach out and take it down.
What a strange thing; how did his eyes perceive the growth of her lumbar vertebrae?
Liu Ziyan glanced at Xiao Yun with an inscrutable expression and nodded, saying, "Yes, it looks just like it!"
Once the drawing dried, Xiao Yun picked it up from the Tea Table and said, "Sister Liu, sit tight; I'm going to replace your bones now!"
He held up the drawing and moved behind Liu Ziyan, pressing it against her waist and gently stroking it. At that moment, a warm current flowed from the drawing into her lumbar vertebrae, and a tingling sensation instantly spread throughout her body...
Hmm—hmm...!!!
Liu Ziyan couldn't help but close her eyes shyly and began to hum softly.
"All done!" Xiao Yun clapped his hands and stood up.
Liu Ziyan was surprised to find that the lumbar vertebrae he had drawn on the Xuan Paper thrown onto the Tea Table had mysteriously disappeared.
She asked Xiao Yun in disbelief, "Are you saying—I can stand up now?"
Xiao Yun's lips curled slightly upward, forming a very beautiful arc as she squinted and smiled, "Hmm, why don't you try standing up now and see?"
Usually, Liu Ziyan had tried countless times to stand up, but her legs simply would not cooperate.
Could it be that she could really stand up and leave the wheelchair now?
Had she entered a mythical world?
At that moment, she seemed unable to believe her ears.
From Xiao Yun's eyes, she could tell that this was no joke.
Liu Ziyan tried to push herself up using the armrests of the wheelchair. With a quiet effort, she suddenly stood up.
"Ah—I've really stood up!" Liu Ziyan exclaimed, taking two steps forward. Perhaps after sitting in a wheelchair for over two years, she wasn't used to walking yet. She stumbled and fell forward.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun lunged forward, gently wrapping her arms around Liu Ziyan's waist with one hand while supporting her body with the other, which just happened to rest on her soft chest.
A blush crept onto Liu Ziyan's face. Just as she was about to steady herself, she unexpectedly fell into Xiao Yun's embrace.
"Sister Liu, something's wrong!" At that moment, someone rushed in from outside the door; it was Bald Camel.
Camel entered the room and immediately saw Liu Ziyan and Xiao Yun embracing each other, his expression filled with surprise and confusion as he froze in place.
What shocked him even more was that he had seen Liu Ziyan sitting in a wheelchair just before leaving with Han Xing. How could she stand up in the blink of an eye?
Uh—seeing Camel burst in, Xiao Yun quickly released her hands. At the same time, Liu Ziyan blushed even more, brushing aside some hair that had fallen onto her face and stepping aside.
"Sister Liu, you..." Camel said as if waking from a dream. "You can walk now!"
Liu Ziyan said, "Thank you, Camel. It's thanks to you that Mr. Xiao was invited here; he cured my lumbar spine and helped me stand up from the wheelchair."
Xiao Yun felt a bit frustrated!
It was me who helped you! Why don't you thank me first instead of thanking the bald guy?
At that moment, Camel's face showed not only shock but also a mix of disbelief. This young man is so impressive?
Camel approached Xiao Yun, suddenly kneeling on one leg and choked with emotion, "Thank you, Xiao the Hero, for saving our Sister Liu. I am bowing to you!"
Xiao the Hero?
This was the first time Xiao Yun had heard someone refer to him like that; it felt quite unfamiliar.
He quickly helped Camel up from the ground, his face bruised and battered as if he had just been in a fight. He said, "There's no need for such formalities. Tell me, when you came in just now, you mentioned something happened. What exactly happened?"
Liu Ziyan also turned her questioning gaze toward Camel.
Camel replied, "That group of people has come to Phoenix City again to cause trouble, and they even attacked Han Xing!"
