Chapter 157 - Miracle Doctor
The SEASEVEN fans were worried and couldn"t help but say some brazen things.
But it did bring a lot of negativity to the other netizens.
——[Hey, are you guys concerned for Shen Ci or cursing him? There"s no external injury or any blood; he probably just pulled a muscle, fractured a bone, or sprained something. It"s not like he can"t be cured, yet you"re here calling murder. One fan is really worth a dozen haters]
——[??? Can Shen Ci"s fans grow a brain, okay? Xiang Yi is the only one in the group that slightly knows medicine. Let me say something bold, if something really happens, she could at least perform basic CPR]
But no matter what their att.i.tudes were, everyone had their hearts in their throats.
At this time, Xiang Yi hurried over with glutinous rice flour still on her hands. She didn"t even care to wash her hands before rus.h.i.+ng over as she wiped it on her s.h.i.+rt, half kneeling in front of Shen Ci. Carefully, she supported his left arm and carefully felt around, asking him about his condition.
Shen Ci responded accordingly.
But in the eyes of the fans, no matter how they looked at it, Xiang Yi was nothing but a nuisance.
——[Look how serious the situation is, and she"s trying to take advantage of our Shen Ci!]
——[Please, I"m begging you: stop faking. You can f*cking stab yourself, but don"t use our gege as a lab rat!]
——[If I were there, I would slap her across the face right away! Her hands are so dirty, she"s not worthy of touching our gege!]
——[Don"t touch our gege! Call an ambulance! If it"s a fracture, he needs surgery! What the h.e.l.l can TCM do!]
…
Xiang Yi"s methods were light at first and gradually became heavier. Plus, with Shen Ci"s responses, she was very quickly able to deduce: "Shen Ci, don"t be scared, it"s just dislocated, so you"re not in any life-threatening danger. Moreover, I have a professional TCM certificate of practice, so I can help you realign your bones."
She paused for a moment and gently added, "Don"t feel pressured though. We can wait for the ambulance and fix it at the hospital as well."
The fans: "..."
The implication of her words: I"m a bada.s.s, but I don"t have to treat you either??
"Shouldn"t she be coddling our gege? How come her temperament is so calm, even cold??"
Shen Ci tried to cover his pain and said stiffly, "Sis, I trust you."
His forehead was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with cold sweat, and teeth marks had formed on his lips. He looked at Xiang Yi with watery eyes, innocent and helpless.
Xiang Yi: "Okay, let"s count two eight-figure beats. Come, 5, 6, 7, go..."
Many years as a trainee had cultivated a subconscious habit within Shen Ci that allowed him to start counting beats without hesitation. Before he could even finish the first count, he heard a "crack". His bone had been realigned.
"OK, it"s done." The girl said calmly.
The crew: ???
The netizens: ???
Wait, that"s it?!!!
Even Shen Ci himself was surprised, but the first thing that came to his mind was that the pain was gone!
His eyes widened in shock. "Sis, are you Hua Tuo* himself..."
Xiang Yi casually responded, "It"s just realigning a bone. Not too hard, right?"
Grandpa Xiang was a TCM doctor, and most of his friends that he interacted with were Xin Lin* masters. She had been intrigued by their practices since she was a child. Grandpa Xiang had taken note of this and consciously trained her to be able to prescribe medicine and give treatments. Strictly, he had mentored her in all the necessary education and experience for over ten years.
Later on, when she had transmigrated through the world, Xiang Yi"s medicinal skills had also improved greatly. However, everyone she had come into contact with were masters, the kind of masters from Xianxia universes, so Xiang Yi had always felt she was only of an ordinary level.
The more you know, the more insignificant you feel.
But in the eyes of other people, taking a few seconds to diagnose, treat, and align a bone was really the level of...
A miracle doctor!
