Ji Chengxuan was almost deafened by Yun Que'er's noise. He looked up at her in surprise.
After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter.
Yun Que'er was confused by his laughter. "You're injured like this. How can you still find it funny?"
"Why can't I?" Ji Chengxuan retorted, seemingly laughing even more heartily. "Aren't you still talking to me?"
Yun Que'er felt a bit embarrassed. Right, she seemed to have let her guard down just now.
She quickly forced herself to come up with an excuse. "Even if you were a complete stranger I've never met before, I'd still ask about your injury when seeing you like this. Don't get the wrong idea!"
The little girl was just being stubborn. Ji Chengxuan thought to himself happily.
But this time he was smarter and didn't tease Yun Que'er anymore. He just nodded in agreement.
"Right, right, right. You make sense."
But Yun Que'er wasn't stupid. She sensed something wrong with Ji Chengxuan's words and slapped the back of his head.
"I'm just asking because you look so pitiful! If you dare to have any bad ideas, I'll leave you here to fend for yourself!"
Ji Chengxuan just smiled without saying a word. It was just a crushed foot. He wasn't going to fend for himself.
He lifted his trouser leg slightly, tried to move his foot, and gasped in pain.
"Tsk, tsk." Ji Chengxuan clicked his tongue. "I didn't expect a broken bone to hurt this much."
Yun Que'er was startled by Ji Chengxuan's calm words. A broken bone? She looked down and sure enough, saw Ji Chengxuan's foot lying there awkwardly, as if it had separated from the leg bone above.
Even if the donkey cart had been replaced by a car just now, Ji Chengxuan's foot would have been crushed into minced meat!
Yun Que'er was shocked. "You're so calm even with a broken bone? Hurry up and go to the hospital!"
Ji Chengxuan gave Yun Que'er a mysterious look and said meaningfully,
"Guess what I did before I time - traveled?"
Yun Que'er frowned and immediately rushed forward to cover Ji Chengxuan's mouth.
"Why are you speaking so loudly? Do you want the whole world to know that you're not from here? Aren't you afraid of being taken away for experiments?"
So Yun Que'er had always been reluctant to admit her identity because she was worried about being taken away. She must have read too many science - fiction novels.
Not to mention whether the two of them would be taken away. Even if Ji Chengxuan shouted on the street that he was a time - traveler, no one would understand him. At most, they would think he was crazy.
"If I'm taken away, I'll tell the police that you time - traveled with me. Then we can keep each other company on the experimental table." Ji Chengxuan joked with a smile.
Yun Que'er got angry. "You're joking with me again! Do you believe I'll strangle you right now?"
"We're of the same kind. You wouldn't bear to do that." Ji Chengxuan said confidently.
Yun Que'er rolled her eyes at him. He was so conceited! Why wouldn't she bear to do it? She wished that the inheritance would stay far away from her world!
Seeing Yun Que'er look so furious, Ji Chengxuan quickly changed the topic.
"Don't worry. No one will care about what we're saying. At most, they'll think it's just childish talk. You don't have to worry too much about my foot. To be honest, besides the system's support, my medical skills are from my previous life. I can handle this minor injury myself."
Who... who was worried about him!
Yun Que'er angrily turned her head away and didn't look at Ji Chengxuan.
"If you're so amazing, then treat yourself. What if you can't cure it? You'll just have to wait to be disabled for life!"
Ji Chengxuan was taken aback by Yun Que'er's words. When did this girl become so sharp - tongued? She even dared to curse him.
But this time, Yun Que'er would be greatly disappointed. With his skills, treating a broken foot was a piece of cake.
"But aren't you really going to help me?" Ji Chengxuan suddenly asked.
Yun Que'er snorted. "Oh, I wonder who just said that they knew medicine and could handle it. Since you can handle it, why do you need my help?"
Ji Chengxuan gave a sly smile. "What do you think?"
Yun Que'er was stunned. What was he talking about?
Why was he asking her instead?
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you keep beating around the bush, I'll leave!"
"Don't go." Ji Chengxuan quickly grabbed Yun Que'er, but was quickly shaken off.
Ji Chengxuan pretended to be innocent and smiled. "My system, just like yours, needs favorability points. It's just that the way to accumulate favorability points is a little different from yours. Do you remember what I asked you to do when treating Teacher Li and Wang Shufen? You've already helped me then."
Yun Que'er was confused. When did she help him?
But after a while, Yun Que'er realized.
Wait... Did Ji Chengxuan mean the time when she kissed him?
Yun Que'er let out a scream. "So that's what it is! Ji Chengxuan, you're clearly taking advantage of me!"
Ji Chengxuan's ears hurt from her shouting. He quickly waved his hand.
"I really do need you. Alright, stop shouting. I was just joking with you today. I still have some favorability points left, which should be enough to treat a broken bone. But if I want to treat others in the future, you have to help me."
Yun Que'er stared at him with wide eyes. Did this have to be done?
Why should she kiss Ji Chengxuan's ugly face?
"I don't care!" Yun Que'er said angrily. "Anyway, it's just about someone kissing you to accumulate favorability points. It doesn't matter who does it. Why does it have to be me? If you want to continue practicing medicine, figure it out on your own. I don't believe that no one else can do it except me! Stop lying to me. I won't be fooled this time!"
Ji Chengxuan raised his eyebrows, but unfortunately, he wasn't lying to Yun Que'er this time.
After a year of repeated experiments, Ji Chengxuan had figured out his system.
Unless there was someone in this world who was as infatuated with him as the female mental patient in his previous life, the only person who could help him was really Yun Que'er.
But Ji Chengxuan wasn't in a hurry. Feelings grew with time.
Since the system had designated Yun Que'er as his "true love", they would surely support each other in the future. Why be in such a hurry?
"But you still have to help me with one thing." Ji Chengxuan said again.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Que'er wanted to punch him in the face.
"If you dare to say anything inappropriate again, I'll break your skull too!"
Ji Chengxuan burst out laughing. Look how tough she was.
"This time it's really not." Ji Chengxuan struggled to move his body.
"I mean you should push me a bit further inside. We can't let others see this kind of treatment method, right?"
