“You will be able to stand, but it will take about a year or so because there are still toxins in your body.
They are eroding your nerves and meridians, and some of the meridians are severely damaged. The most important thing now is to cleanse the toxins.”
Gu Jiaojiao checked his blood again, then hung a bottle of antitoxin, a bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine… four bottles in total, all being administered simultaneously.
Su Shuoci was dumbfounded. Previously, when he had an IV, it was literally just a “bottle hanging.”
But the immortal’s IV bottles were much more refined, even the IV stand looked sophisticated.”
“I’m tired, I’ll sleep first. You watch the medicine, and if it runs out, call me to remove the needle.”
“Teach me how to remove the needle myself,” Su Shuoci said, looking intently at Gu Jiaojiao.
“Okay.”
Gu Jiaojiao took out cotton swabs and medicine from her space, teaching Su Shuoci how to remove the needle and handle the aftermath.
She then took out a bottle of a certain brand of milk drink and a pack of bread, placing them on the table by the bed.
This table was also from her space, something Gu Jiaojiao had intentionally put in there, thinking she would use it as a temporary desk during her medical mission in Africa.
After setting everything up, she naturally climbed onto the inner side of the bed and lay down. She thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep, but as soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.
Su Shuoci listened to the steady breathing of his little wife beside him, knowing she was asleep.
With the hand that wasn’t hooked to the IV, he traced her delicate eyebrows. You must not ascend to heaven at any moment.
You were the one who came to provoke me first. Even if I have to go to the ends of the earth or the depths of hell, I will chase after you.
The next day, the sun was already high in the sky when Gu Jiaojiao slowly woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a magnified face. Although his stubble had grown wildly, it didn’t affect him; instead, it gave him a kind of disheveled beauty.
But her joy lasted less than a second before she was nearly driven to the point of spitting blood in anger.
“Jiaojiao~ I thought you had ascended to heaven~” The tough man’s worried voice sounded almost like a whine, giving her goosebumps.
“Su Shuoci, you~ you’re the one who ascended to heaven!” Gu Jiaojiao let out a groundhog-like scream.
Damn it!
Who wouldn’t be in a bad mood hearing the words “ascend to heaven” first thing in the morning?
“I wish I could ascend to heaven, would you take me with you?”
Gu Jiaojiao kicked him, “Get lost, I’ll ask you one more time, how would you feel if someone asked you if you had ascended to heaven?”
“I would beat them up. For us mortals, ascending to heaven means death,” Su Shuoci said honestly.
“You know you’d beat someone up, I’ll beat you to death,” Gu Jiaojiao kicked him several times.
She wanted to kick him off the bed, but unfortunately, she didn’t get her wish.
“Jiaojiao, don’t be angry, it’s my fault, I won’t say it again.”
His little wife was so angry, could she really be human?
Su Shuoci didn’t dare to ask, after all, they weren’t that familiar yet. There would be plenty of time to get to know each other later.
He couldn’t say the word “ascend to heaven” anymore. Actually, he was scared too, afraid that she might suddenly leave one day.
He must have been too eager to cure his legs, that’s why he was so anxious. Yes, that must be it, it must be.
“Good that you know, I’m not a stingy person, I’ll let it go this time, but if there’s a next time, I’ll beat you to death.”
Gu Jiaojiao kicked him a few more times.
“Jiaojiao, does your foot hurt? Let me massage it for you,” Su Shuoci shamelessly grabbed her foot and started massaging it.
Gu Jiaojiao: …
Yesterday he looked like he wanted to kill someone, now that he knows she can help cure his legs, he’s acting like a sycophant.
Although Gu Jiaojiao despised such a man, she didn’t mind people who were only interested in profit.
She had known since she was a child that if others see you as someone who can benefit them,
That’s when you are successful, that’s when everyone loves you.
Otherwise, if there’s no benefit to be gained from you, why would anyone bother to please you?
Even parents and relatives care about benefits to some extent, so don’t have any illusions about anyone.
Don’t think that you and the person in front of you are destined to be together for a lifetime.
There’s still a long time ahead, even if it’s all sweet and tender now, remember the daily necessities in the future.
“Uh, didn’t your parents come knocking this morning?” This doesn’t make sense.
“Mom and dad went to work, Qinchun also went to school. You took marriage leave, so you don’t have to go to school this week.”
“Are you usually alone at home?”
“Yes, mom and dad come back at noon to cook for me.”
“Then I’ll take out some rice, flour, and food. Can I put them directly in the kitchen?”
“Take some out now. We’ll eat first, then go out. We need to make it official before bringing anything back.”
“What do you want to eat?”
“I don’t know, whatever you conjure, I’ll eat.”
Both of them reached a tacit agreement in their hearts and happily had breakfast together. There was soy milk, but no fried dough sticks.
Gu Jiaojiao took out two bottles of soy milk and whole wheat bread from her space. She knew the man liked meat,
So she took out a pig’s trotter, two chicken legs, spicy dried fish, and pickled chicken feet.
Although there was no legendary spiritual spring water in her space, it could still preserve freshness.
Time stood still in her space, and the supplies inside were enough for the Su family to eat for a lifetime and still have leftovers.
So Gu Jiaojiao was very generous. As long as the man could eat, she didn’t hesitate to take out food for him.
After eating and drinking their fill, Gu Jiaojiao changed her clothes, and Su Shuoci shaved off his stubble.
Gu Jiaojiao pushed Su Shuoci out together. The couple’s high looks attracted a 100% turn-around rate.
But today their turn-around rate was 150%, everyone looked at her with pity.
Gu Jiaojiao didn’t know the reason, thinking it was because Su Shuoci hadn’t been out for a long time, so she didn’t care at all.
Every city has a compound, and the people living in the compound are the upper class of the city.
It is said that the children in the compound and the children in the other alleys are two different groups.
And the children in the compound also have their own hierarchy.
The east side was built with three-story pointed-top blue brick buildings, adjacent to the south side were two-story blue brick buildings.
Although Su Shuoci was young, his position was relatively high, so he lived in a two-story building on the south side.
In the compound, all kinds of facilities for daily life were available, and the residents were self-contained, rarely interacting with the citizens outside the walls.
The west and north sides were all bungalows, each compound was a small society with complete functions and self-sufficiency.
Auditorium, playground, communal bathhouse, swimming pool, club, store, even hospital, post office, savings bank.
Kindergarten, elementary school, affiliated middle school… everything was available.
They could get all the resources needed for life and work without leaving the compound.
The original body’s relationship with the neighbors was even more indescribable, no wonder the women in the compound were so loud in their discussions about her.
But today, as she pushed Su Shuoci, no one came up to greet her, and there were no gossipy voices.
Su Shuoci, familiar with the way, took Gu Jiaojiao out of the compound and headed straight to the black market in Qingcheng.
Gu Jiaojiao’s space only contained things sold in large shopping malls, like oil, salt, various seasonings, rice, and other preserved foods.
There was no raw meat of any kind, and Su Shuoci also roughly knew what his wife could conjure.
The two agreed to sell rice first, after all, rice was scarce these days. Gu Jiaojiao took out 200 pounds of rice from her space.
