"Host, someone has fallen into the water up ahead. If you save one more person, the merit bar will be full," the system said.
Actually, saving two people would fill the merit bar, but who asked Shi Wan to give up saving the old man last time?
Shi Wan stopped in her tracks and headed straight in the direction the system had indicated. Once the merit bar was full, the system would randomly drop rewards, which was a rare opportunity for her.
"Help! Someone's drowning!"
"Someone's tried to commit suicide by jumping into the river!"
Most of the on - lookers couldn't swim. Some were calling the police while others were dialing 120. They were in a flurry of activity.
Suddenly, everyone heard a splash. The water rippled as a young girl swam hard towards the drowning child.
With the help of the system, Shi Wan quickly rescued the person. The drowning victim was a good - looking boy, about 15 or 16 years old.
As soon as he regained consciousness, the on - lookers couldn't help cheering.
"Great! He's okay!"
"Thanks to this young girl. She's amazing."
"Yeah, but why does this girl look so familiar?"
"..."
The ambulance arrived at this time. Shi Wan followed it to the Chinese Medicine Hospital. During the ride, the boy tightly held her hand, as if she were his last hope.
Shi Wan didn't know how to comfort people, so she just stared at the boy. Finally, the boy fainted, and the awkward situation ended.
"Wanwan, I never expected it to be you again. Your clothes are all wet. Do you want to go home and change first? I'll talk to Director Jiang for you," someone in the ambulance said kindly when they saw her.
"No need. There are spare clothes in the hospital."
"One person has been successfully rescued. The system randomly drops the reward of breaking through to Level 6 in medical skills and one lucky bag. Congratulations, host. The rewards have been stored. Please check them carefully," a voice rang in Shi Wan's mind right after she spoke.
She checked and indeed found a new lucky bag. The medical skills bar was also filling up.
Does this mean that Shen Siyan's illness can be better treated?
At the hospital, the doctor wheeled the boy away. As soon as Shi Wan changed her clothes, she was hurriedly pulled away by Dean Yu.
"Wanwan, this patient's condition is very serious. Go and take a look first," Dean Yu said. Afraid that Shi Wan would feel pressured, he added, "It's okay if you can't save him. Actually, this patient..."
"I'll do my best."
When Shi Wan entered the operating room, she understood what Dean Yu meant. This person seemed to have been in a car accident and was almost full of holes. He was on the verge of death.
The hospital knew that this person couldn't be saved. There was even no chance for him to become a vegetable.
If it had been half an hour ago, even if this person didn't die, he would have become a vegetable. But since her medical skills had just received a reward, she could save this person by expending some mental energy.
"Wait, who are you? Are you in charge of this operation?"
Shi Wan didn't answer but lowered her head and started the rescue.
"No..."
The doctor didn't finish his sentence before seeing her start the rescue. For a moment, he could only shut up, but he didn't trust this person at all. He just stood by to help and was ready to take over the rescue.
But in fact, this person was already dying. The current rescue was just a formality.
"Doctor Lin, who is this person?"
"She looks so young. Whose student is she? This is just nonsense!"
Doctor Lin thought she was a new intern and was very angry.
"Doctor Lin, don't worry. She can save people," Dean Yu said, trying to calm him down.
After all, they hadn't seen Shi Wan's skills before, so it was normal for them not to understand.
"Nonsense!" Doctor Lin lowered his voice. His eyes never left the patient. "This patient is beyond saving. Even the King of Hell can't do anything! If she can save him, have I been studying medicine for nothing all these years?"
Dean Yu didn't mind. "Maybe she's even more powerful than the King of Hell?"
Doctor Lin and the other doctors scoffed. The operation didn't seem to need anyone's help, and her techniques were so unskilled that Doctor Lin couldn't bear to watch. Even an intern would be better.
Three hours later.
Doctor Lin and the others walked out of the operating room in a daze, their eyes full of shock.
The patient was actually... saved?
Was this little girl a goddess?
In this situation, even a doctor with a lifetime of experience would be helpless, but this little girl...
Doctor Lin met Dean Yu's excited gaze. He swallowed hard, feeling ashamed of what he had said before.
"Will the patient... become a vegetable?"
Having expended so much mental energy, Shi Wan was too tired to talk. She just left a sentence saying no and then rushed away.
"No?" Doctor Lin was completely shocked. He grabbed the person next to him to confirm. "Did she say the patient won't become a vegetable? Is she joking? Does she know what she's saying?"
Dean Yu patted him on the shoulder. "Doctor Lin, after what just happened, don't you believe it yet?"
Doctor Lin: "..."
It was simply a medical miracle!
Could he believe this for the first time he encountered such a situation?
If he hadn't been on - site and heard about the patient's condition, he would never have believed it no matter what others said.
"Old Yu, where did you find this person? She's so amazing."
"Well... we met by accident. This little girl really has skills."
Shi Wan went to the lounge and fell asleep immediately. She didn't know how much time had passed when a familiar energy filled her body. All the fatigue seemed to disappear instantly.
She opened her eyes and directly met the man's worried eyes.
She was stunned for a few seconds, then sat up. "Why are you here?"
It turned out that it was this man's hand holding hers, sending her mental energy. No wonder she felt better.
"Little wife, what did you do today?"
Seeing her wake up, the worry in the man's eyes still didn't fade, but there was also a bit of coldness and relief.
Shi Wan said calmly, "I've been in the hospital. Didn't I even take a little break?"
"Shi Wan!" The man's eyes were a bit cold. "You've been exposed, but you still don't admit it?"
"Have I been slandered again?"
Shi Wan's first reaction was that the online rumors hadn't been properly dealt with.
"You..." Shen Siyan was full of helplessness. "The video of you saving someone has gone viral. When you jumped into the water without any regard for your own safety, didn't you think that someone would be worried?"
When he saw the news, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He came to the hospital angrily, planning to teach her a lesson.
Who would have thought that he would see her lying there, exhausted.
In an instant, all the questions and scolding disappeared.
"I'm a good swimmer. I was confident."
"Don't most of the people who have accidents claim to be good swimmers?"
Shi Wan: "..."
Was it really necessary?
She had been confident when she decided to save the person.
"Got it." She reached out her hand. "Hold my hand for a while longer."
"What else do you want besides holding hands?"
He had also noticed that his little wife liked to hold his hand or kiss him when she was tired. It seemed that she would regain her energy quickly this way. Although he didn't know the principle, he quite liked it.
For some reason, Shi Wan understood what he meant. She wasn't shy and just hugged him and kissed him.
This way, she could recover faster. She didn't expect Shen Siyan to be so understanding.
