“Xiao Ling, are you still feeling unwell?” Lin Feng couldn't bear to put Xiao Ling down, continuing to hold her in his arms as he asked.
“Uncle Feng, I feel so comfortable, I really want to sleep. Can you promise me one thing?” Xiao Ling yawned, clearly a bit sleepy, but she still forced her eyes open to ask.
“What’s going on? Why does Xiao Ling want to sleep?” Seeing Xiao Ling suddenly getting drowsy, Lin Feng felt anxious and quickly asked Tesla.
“It’s nothing serious. The cells in her body just fought hard against the virus. With my help, they achieved a complete victory. Now that the cells are relaxed, it’s normal for her to feel sleepy,” Tesla knew Lin Feng was worried and immediately spoke the truth.
Just now, Lin Feng’s trust in him and his willingness to do anything to save someone had improved Tesla's attitude towards him significantly.
Although Tesla was an alien Criminal, he was not a malevolent extraterrestrial villain. On the contrary, he regarded saving lives as his top priority. Even after arriving on Earth and being imprisoned in the magic ring, he still held onto his convictions.
Doctor was his only profession. Tesla was first a Doctor, then an alien Criminal.
In the field of medicine, there are no planetary boundaries. Tesla set rules for himself: wherever he goes, he will provide medical care.
These were things that Lin Feng had never heard Tesla mention until now.
“Tesla, don’t lie to me. Your explanation sounds quite fantastical. What do you mean by cell viruses? Do they need rest too? Do cells have intelligence now?” Lin Feng found it hard to believe as Tesla personified the cells in his explanation and continued to question him.
Lin Feng acknowledged that cells are life, but how could they be like humans and understand the need for rest?
“I don’t want to either, but if I speak professionally, would you understand? If you lack knowledge and still doubt me, I am the greatest healer in all of Walker Star, you know?” Although Tesla felt somewhat gratified by Lin Feng’s concern for the patient, he could not tolerate any doubt about his medical skills.
It’s like saying a farmer can’t farm; wouldn’t they get into a fight with you? That’s an insult to their profession and expertise!
“Well, what you said sounds more reliable,” Lin Feng thought Tesla's earlier overly nice attitude was a bit unsettling. Now that he referred to himself as the “greatest healer” again, Lin Feng felt this was more like the usual arrogant Tesla and began to believe him.
It’s strange; it’s all about the power of habit. If you’re used to someone’s way of speaking and one day they don’t talk that way anymore, your first reaction is doubt. This is subconscious thinking, regardless of whether it’s right or wrong.
So, habits can be quite frightening.
"Uncle Feng, why aren't you talking?" Xiao Ling asked as Lin Feng remained silent for a while, still not daring to sleep.
"Oh, Xiao Ling wants to sleep? That's fine, go ahead," Lin Feng said, knowing this was a normal occurrence and feeling reassured to let Xiao Ling sleep. He gently patted her back and spoke softly.
"No, you haven't promised me yet!" Xiao Ling insisted, refusing to close her eyes despite her drowsiness.
"Alright, tell me, what is it that makes Xiao Ling unable to sleep without Uncle Feng's promise?" Lin Feng was curious about what could be so important to her.
"You have to promise me that you won't take the opportunity to needle me while I'm asleep," Xiao Ling finally revealed her request.
Uh, girl, that's quite easy to misunderstand, isn't it? Taking the chance to needle you while you sleep? It sounds like I'm some kind of child-abusing pervert. I'm just trying to help you! Lin Feng was almost defeated by Xiao Ling's request.
Despite this, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you, Xiao Ling is fine now and doesn't need any needles."
There was no way around it; whenever Lin Feng saw Xiao Ling, he felt a surge of affection. Besides, Xiao Ling's fever had already been treated, so there was no need for acupuncture anymore.
Acupuncture not only avoids medication and surgery but is also painless and non-invasive; it's truly an excellent treatment method. No wonder Tesla highly praised this approach.
"Xiao Ling, how should you talk to Uncle Feng? He's doing this for your own good," Lin Feng said. While he could overlook it, Xiao Ling's mother couldn't help but speak up. Just moments ago, Lin Feng had cured Xiao Ling's illness, and now she was filled with gratitude and admiration for him.
At such a young age and with such remarkable medical skills—how could anyone not admire him?
"Oh." Hearing her mother speak up, Xiao Ling could only pout slightly in disappointment.
"Hehe... You're just a child, Xiao Ling; Uncle Feng has promised you," Lin Feng said as he noticed her sulking expression and stepped in to ease the tension.
"Really? Thank you, Uncle Feng! Can you promise me one more thing?" Xiao Ling was quite clever; seeing that Lin Feng didn't mind, she boldly planted several kisses on his cheek and continued with her request.
Lin Feng felt a sudden rush of excitement from Xiao Ling's kisses. He couldn't quite describe the feeling—it was akin to a father being kissed by his daughter after a long separation.
This left Lin Feng feeling quite confused. Ever since he met Xiao Ling, why had this feeling been so unexpectedly frequent?
Setting aside his doubts, Lin Feng said happily, "Well, Xiao Ling, if you have any requests, just tell Uncle, and he will definitely fulfill them." With this statement, it seemed that if Xiao Ling asked for the stars in the sky at that moment, he would find a way to pick one for her.
"Uncle Feng, can you please not let Mom take me to the hospital? When Mom works at the hospital, I'm all alone, and I'm scared," Xiao Ling finally expressed her true intention. By the end of her words, her little lips quivered as if she was about to cry.
So it turned out that this child didn't want to go to the hospital!
Seeing Xiao Ling like this made Lin Feng's heart ache. This little girl was enduring the loneliness of being hospitalized all by herself. Thinking of this, Lin Feng hugged Xiao Ling tightly and said, "Xiao Ling is already better; why go to the hospital? Just sleep well. Uncle Feng promises that when you wake up, you'll be in your own bed at home, and I'll tell you a story, okay?"
"Uncle Feng, let's make a pinky promise." Seeing Lin Feng agree, Xiao Ling's face lit up with a smile as she extended her little pinky finger for a pinky swear.
"Alright, pinky promise, one hundred years without changing." Seeing Xiao Ling return to her playful self, Lin Feng also extended his hand, and their pinky fingers hooked together in a warm moment.
Xiao Ling finally fell asleep peacefully, but Lin Feng continued to hold her and gently pat her back.
"What's wrong, Lin Feng? Why did Xiao Ling fall asleep so quickly?" Xiao Ling's mother noticed that after a brief improvement, Xiao Ling had fallen asleep again and became anxious like Lin Feng had been earlier.
"It's nothing; she just got better and relaxed too much; she's tired." Having his own misunderstanding, Lin Feng didn't explain too much to avoid making Xiao Ling's mother suspicious as well.
Sure enough, upon hearing this from Lin Feng, Xiao Ling's mother believed him.
"Oh, Lin Feng, you can leave Xiao Ling to me. Thank you for your help earlier; I'm sorry for troubling you by having you coax her to sleep." Seeing that Lin Feng was still holding Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling's mother spoke while gently taking her from his arms.
Seeing Xiao Ling's mother do this, no matter how reluctant he felt, Lin Feng had no choice but to let go. At that moment of release, he felt a sudden chill in his arms; it felt empty.
It was a strange feeling, but Lin Feng had already grown accustomed to it.
"By the way, Xiao Ling's mother, did you call for a tow truck?" To avoid revealing his disappointed expression that might lead to misunderstandings with Xiao Ling's mother, Lin Feng quickly changed the subject.
"I did. It was an emergency earlier; I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Su Rong; nice to meet you." Now that Xiao Ling was better, Su Rong returned to her usual demeanor and introduced herself to Lin Feng confidently.
At the same time, she extended her hand clearly indicating that she wanted to shake hands with Lin Feng.
The young man who saved Xiao Ling truly deserved her initiative to extend a hand in friendship.
"Hello, Ms. Su," Lin Feng said, reaching out his hand for a firm handshake, smiling as he greeted her.
"Lin Feng, there's no need to be so formal. I'm a few years older than you, so if you don't mind, just call me Rong Jie," Su Rong said, noticing Lin Feng's somewhat reserved demeanor.
"Oh, then I'll call you Rong Jie," Lin Feng replied, feeling that calling her Ms. Su was a bit awkward. He decided to follow Su Rong's suggestion.
"Lin Feng, are you a doctor?" After they got acquainted, Su Rong asked Lin Feng. She was genuinely curious about how he had such excellent medical skills and experience with children, soothing them while performing acupuncture—it was truly impressive.
Lin Feng didn't have any real experience; he was also inexperienced in this regard. However, his special feelings for Xiao Ling made him instinctively comfort her. With his exceptional medical skills, he was able to perform acupuncture while holding Xiao Ling, which led Su Rong to believe that Lin Feng was an experienced pediatric doctor.
Indeed, Su Rong regarded Lin Feng as a highly skilled pediatric doctor.
"Ah, Rong Jie, I'm not a doctor at all. I'm just a sophomore student at Huaqing University. I learned my medical skills from an old gentleman in my village. Unfortunately, he has passed away; otherwise, his skills were far superior to mine," Lin Feng explained, attributing his medical knowledge to a fictional rural elder to justify his abilities.
"Oh, that old gentleman must have been a master of medicine! You are studying medicine, right?" Su Rong assumed that even if Lin Feng wasn't a doctor now, he would surely become one in the future, mistakenly believing he was studying medicine.
"No, I'm majoring in Computer Science," Lin Feng clarified, wanting to prevent any misunderstandings from Su Rong.
What? A Computer Science major? Su Rong was nearly stunned by Lin Feng's revelation. How could a Computer Science student use acupuncture on my daughter right away? Acupuncture involves stimulating pressure points; if something goes wrong... Su Rong couldn't bear to imagine the consequences.
