Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 757
Chapter 757 Signed and Sealed
There was no best course of action to treat rheumatism in the world. There was no miracle drug. Old Man Song was used to the pain.
“It’s okay if you don’t go. I’ll customize a treatment plan for you.” Fu Qingxuan understood the pain that came with rheumatism. It was not life-threatening, but the agony was hard to handle.
He could always transport the professional medical equipment here. It was not much of a hassle.
Old Man Song was grateful and kicking himself. “No need to bother. My illness is nothing new.”
He had basically given up. After seeing all the doctors in the world, he would have been treated by now if it was at all possible.
Rheumatism was a tricky illness that had no cure. It was unnecessary to put the children through the hassle for an old man like him.
“Grandpa, I know that it’s not an easy fix, but we have made significant progress in our research.” Fu Qingxuan kneeled by the old man. “Don’t worry. It’s no trouble at all.”
It was in his plans. Fu Qingxuan had discussed with Qingye on opening a secondary laboratory in China. The process was underway. China was the best place to research and promote Traditional Chinese Medicine after all.
“You kids.” Old Man shook his head with a smile. “Thank you.”
They were good kids. Fu Qingxuan’s medical research had been leaning toward Western Medicine, primarily looking into complex diagnoses that had yet to meet a breakthrough. His patients either had rare diseases or were critically ill. Common sicknesses were not in his department.
Old Man Song’s rheumatism was one example. Fu Qingxuan did not know where to start without the right equipment. Despite his six-month research into acupuncture, Fu Qingxuan believed he was not quite there yet to put his skills to the test.
Flashing silver needles, Shen Xi looked at the old man. “Grandpa, I know a bit about acupuncture. Let me treat you to ease your
pain.”
Old Man Song stared at her in shock. “You know about acupuncture as well?”
The girl was a bag of surprises. She was talented at songwriting, scriptwriting, singing, dancing, and now acupuncture as well?
“Grandpa, Xixi is a medical student at Capital University.” Stepping forth to vouch for Shen Xi, Song Wenye cheerfully praised with pride. “She’s awesome.”
Nodding his head with a grin, Old Man Song inquired Shen Xi about the next steps. He was wheeled into the bedroom and placed on the bed.
Shen Xi took out the needles and began the therapy.
Standing in one corner, Fu Qingxuan watched her technique with earnestness and amazement. In fact, it was starting to look rather familiar.
During the time Mom was receiving medical care, Dr. Jiu Zhou would not allow any visitors on the ground that he needed to focus while performing acupuncture.
One time, Fu Qingxuan pushed open Mom’s bedroom door, not knowing Dr. Jiu Zhou was around. It was a quick glance, but somehow Dr. Jiu Zhou’s mannerism and the way he performed the acupuncture was similar to his little sister right now.
Shen Xi did not kick anyone out of the room for a change. However, no one was to talk. They quietly and attentively watched by the sidelines, even taking light breaths so as not to disturb her.
Half an hour later.
Shen Xi put away the needles.
Fu Qingxuan took a deep breath as if heaving a sigh of relief. He gazed at Old Man Song, hoping to hear that the pain was gone.
Old Man Song smiled at him.
Noticing his gaze, Shen Xi turned around and looked at Fu Qingxuan. “It doesn’t take effect that quickly. Do you think acupuncture therapy is a miracle? You get well right off the bat?”
Old Man Song nodded and grinned. “Xixi is right. It won’t show straight away.”
He did not feel much of a change right now. It still hurt where it should, but the pressure and blood clots in his legs lifted quite a bit.
His aching joints seemed to find relief too. It was a huge difference from previous acupuncture therapies.
Since Fu Qingxuan was eager to learn, Old Man Song reported on the physical changes. The kid was likely obsessed with medicine.
After the therapy, Old Man Song watched TV with the kids before urging them to go to bed.
Song Wenye had called Grandpa earlier to tell him that they would be staying the night instead of heading back. Old Man Song got four guest rooms ready for them. He did not do much in the bedrooms for the boys.
The old man made sure to have Shen Xi’s room decorated according to her preferences.
Sitting in the living room, Old Man Song could not wait for Shen Xi to get into her room. No sooner had she stepped into the bedroom than Li Yuan followed behind. They then shut the door behind them.
Shut the door!
“She… He… They?” Old Man Song pointed at the bedroom door, stammering for words. He thought they were only boyfriend and girlfriend. Why were they sharing a room?
COO.
Fu Qingxuan was coming out of the bathroom when he saw them closing the bedroom door. He rushed over and knocked on the door. “Get out, Li Yuan!”
Yu Yuanxi cleared his throat. While he understood the behavior of smitten couples, it did not mean he approved of it. Yu Yuanxi was in the right mind of barging right in there, but Fu Qingxuan was ahead of him.
Song Wenye did not see a problem with that. Since Xixi and Toffeecito’s Dad had gotten their marriage license, they were bound to share a bed and live in the same room. Was it not how things should go?
Shen Xi opened the door and popped her head out. “What do you need him for?”
“Tell him to come out.” Fu Qingxuan furiously yelled while peeking inside. Li Yuan was nowhere to be found. “Where is he?”
“He’s taking a shower.” Shen Xi spoke matter-of-factly. “You should get some rest. Don’t you have a conference tomorrow morning?”
Fu Qingxuan gritted his teeth. “Are you going to share a room with him?”
Shen Xi nodded. “Young Master, we’re husband and wife, signed and sealed. Can’t we stay together?”
Turning black in the face, Fu Qingxuan huffed and puffed as he pointed at her at a loss for words. In the end, he stormed off. With bloodshot eyes, he took a few steps before blurting, “I don’t give a f*ck anymore!”
All she did was pick on him. Would she say the same to Mr. and Mrs. Shen back at home? Would she have the guts to let Li Yuan stay in her bedroom?
Yu Yuanxi glanced at Shen Xi and sighed when the latter gave him a smile. It was not his place to butt in as Xixi was right about being a lawful husband and wife.
“So you’re not going to do something about it?” With Yu Yuanxi holding his tongue and condoning Shen Xi’s actions, Fu Qingxuan switched targets and pointed fingers at Yu Yuanxi.
