After teasing the system, Qian Qi put away her computer and saw Su Ang sending a ssage, glancing at her with words unspoken.
"What’s up?" Qian Qi crossed her arms, leaning against Er Ya’s long hind legs. Her sleek black combat armor paired with an occasionally glimpsed handso face under her bangs drew frequent glances from nurses passing by the hospital base.
"A colleague wants to see you." Su Ang pointed to the Light Brain, "Rember those hemostatic dicines you stuffed into my hands before you left the Song City War Zone?"
Qian Qi thought for a mont, recalling how she shalessly forced Su Ang to buy so Blood Stopping Magic Potions. She cleared her throat, "Yeah, so what?"
"Those hemostatic dicines saved his life. He’s been in rehabilitation at the hospital base ever since and has always wanted to et you to express his gratitude."
Qian Qi scratched her head, "Does he have money?"
Su Ang paused, seemingly puzzled why she asked, "Not really, why?"
"Then forget it." Qian Qi waved it off, indifferent, "You bought those potions; he doesn’t need to thank ."
If the person had money, she could develop so business relations; since there’s none, there’s no need to bother with it.
Su Ang raised an eyebrow slightly, then gave a low chuckle, "You’re not good at handling being thanked, right?"
Qian Qi: ...
Qian Qi: "Do you think you know well?"
Su Ang: "Hmm, quite okay."
Qian Qi: ...
Just as Qian Qi was about to get embarrassed and angry, she saw Sikong Lin’s hovercar approaching. She decided to let Su Ang off for now, patted Er Ya, letting it fly up, and then walked towards Sikong Lin.
"Your Magic Beast is sure convenient." As soon as he got out of the car, Sikong Lin enviously glanced at the departing Er Ya, "Left later, but arrived faster than ."
Moreover, probably only Qian Qi’s uncontracted Magic Beast could travel in Sea City without a permit.
Qian Qi glanced at him, "You want it?"
Sikong Lin’s eyes lit up instantly, "I do, are you willing...?"
Qian Qi: "Then just think about it more, it doesn’t cost anything to dream."
Sikong Lin: ...
Inside the hospital base, Sikong Lin pointed to the 4th floor, "At this ti, she’s definitely in rehab, let’s head to the rehabilitation room to find her."
He had to choose a ti when Shangguan Qing was doing rehab to visit her, because if he went to her ward, she’d have the nurse lock the door, refusing entry.
He understood, Shangguan Qing didn’t want her ugly side to be seen, but how could he ever despise her?
In the rehab room.
Shangguan Qing was seated on a machine stretching her arms. Her thin arms slightly bulged with veins as she exerted force, trembling as she pulled the instrunt to a fixed position, then exhaled lightly.
Every month she received a healing potion from her son; her spiritual power recovered quickly, and her muscles, atrophied from long bed rest, had improved a lot through diet and exercise, making her look much more radiant.
"Xiao Zhao, I finished my rehab task for today, what about you?" She turned and called to a young man not far away, "It’s almost ti for a al!"
Zhao Qing, called Xiao Zhao, twisted his waist in front of the full-length mirror. A very noticeable scar encircled his waist as if he was once severed in half, both terrifying and intriguing.
This scar could’ve been cleaned off with a Blood Stopping Magic Potion, but Zhao Qing kept it.
Because he wanted to use this scar to commorate his life-saving benefactor whom he’d never t.
"Sister Shangguan, you forgot? My rehab officially ended yesterday." Zhao Qing put down his clothes to cover the scar, smiling at Shangguan Qing.
Shangguan Qing and Yue Shuangshuang were once the most revered female war goddesses among the Awakened Warriors, but both vanished later. Everyone thought they and other advanced commanders had entered S-Level dungeons.
But unexpectedly, when he ca for rehab, he saw the once-missing Commander Shangguan.
After a few encounters, he beca familiar with Shangguan Qing.
"Oh right, look at my mory." Shangguan Qing patted her head, laughing, "You’re planning to leave the hospital today? Dressing quite formally."
Usually, Zhao Qing wore hospital gowns, but today he wore formal attire for the first ti. But isn’t it common to wear casual clothing when getting discharged?
Zhao Qing scratched his head embarrassedly, looked around, then whispered to Shangguan Qing, "Sis, didn’t I tell you before? If it wasn’t for the Blood Stopping Magic Potion given by my benefactor, I wouldn’t have survived."
Shangguan Qing nodded, she’d heard about Zhao Qing’s story. This kid was literally sliced in half by a Magic Beast on the battlefield, but managed to survive with the special effect of the Blood Stopping Magic Potion.
"Are you planning to see them?" Shangguan Qing grew interested.
"I heard she’s visiting the hospital base today, but she doesn’t want to see , so I thought of sneaking a peek," Zhao Qing said sheepishly, "Not knowing who it is keeps weighing on my mind..."
"Hahaha, I understand." Shangguan Qing laughed heartily, then sighed, "I too have always wanted to et my life-saving benefactor, but my son keeps saying she’s busy and doesn’t let watch the news, says it’s bad for my eyes. I don’t know when I’ll ever et her, sigh!"
Then she glanced enviously at Zhao Qing, "Back then we bet who’d see their life-saving benefactor first would treat the other to a al..."
Looks like she was going to lose.
Zhao Qing chuckled, "Then I won’t be courteous with this al."
"You!" Shangguan Qing patted Zhao Qing’s head, laughing gently, "Once you’ve seen her, tell all about what she’s like..."
Just as Shangguan Qing spoke, sothing shattered, and she turned to see Sikong Lin’s empty hands suspended, staring at her in disbelief, with a cylindrical lunchbox rolling on the ground.
Shangguan Qing: ...
Sikong Lin: "...Still love ?"
Shangguan Qing: "Roll over here, don’t make a fool of yourself."
Sikong Lin picked up the lunchbox on the ground, obediently rolling over, glaring at Zhao Qing on the side, "Who’s this? Young and not working hard, already hitting on wealthy won..."
Shangguan Qing smacked the back of his head, "Stop saying nonsense, Zhao is my fellow patient, we rehab together."
Zhao Qing scratched his head, saluted, "Commander Sikong."
Sikong Lin snorted as acknowledgnt, then took Shangguan Qing’s hand, "It’s not who insisted on seeing you, it’s Qiaoqiao wanting to et you, she was embarrassed and insisted I co along."
Qian Qi, entering the doorway: ...Uncle, that’s not how we agreed to say it, was it?
"Qiaoqiao?" Shangguan Qing was puzzled for a mont, then her eyes brightened, shoving Sikong Lin aside to look toward the door, "My daughter-in-law is here?!"
Su Ang, just stepping through the doorway, almost stumbled and fell, thankfully caught by Qian Qi.
Daughter-in-law? Whose daughter-in-law? Whose wife?
Seeing Qian Qi, Shangguan Qing stood up imdiately, walking briskly towards her, grasping the silver-haired youth’s hand with excitent, "Qiaoqiao is so good-looking and tall, I don’t know why, but Auntie finds you familiar upon first sight, is it fate? Did Auntie et you sowhere before?"
Qian Qi: ...
Su Ang: ...
Sikong Lin: ...
Sikong Lin: "Honey, that’s Su Ang, Xiao Ang."
Shangguan Qing’s hand, holding the silver-haired youth’s, stiffened slightly, then calmly switched over to Qian Qi, taking her small hand, "Oh dear, Qiaoqiao don’t mind, my eyes haven’t fully recovered after lying down for so long. It’s all Xu Ang’s fault, changing into a girl after ten years, making mistake them."
Su Ang: ...
Qian Qi: "Haha, cough, um, hello Auntie."
