She suddenly opened her eyes as if breathing deeply, and then awkwardly met the gaze of over a dozen pairs of eyes surrounding her. Frightened, she shrank back, tightly using the blanket on her as a barrier to protect herself.
"What are you doing?"
Anyone who opened their eyes to such a focused array of stares, almost like spotlights, could hardly remain calm.
Mainly because it was too scary.
"Bai Xiao, you’re awake?"
The first to speak was actually Zhang Zhaoyuan, who had been in charge of bringing Bai Xiao here, and he had not yet left. All the people from the school had left, and they had no choice but to do so. The students and teachers were quickly ordered by the armed police soldiers to leave and were sternly advised to keep their mouths shut about these significant events; otherwise, that would be considered spreading rumors.
This was also a violation of the laws and regulations.
If he left, there would be no one else here to take care of her behind his back.
It’s not that without him, no one would take care of her; in fact, these people were now treating Bai Xiao as precious as the apple of their eye.
But waking up to open your eyes to find not a single familiar face around— that really was heartbreaking.
So Zhang Zhaoyuan had continued his vigil until now.
Seeing a familiar face, although perhaps not very familiar, but more so than others—it was still recognition, and besides, they had spoken a lot, fought a battle together, a friendship formed in adversity.
"Zhang Zhaoyuan, where is this?"
Having someone familiar around at least calmed her down a bit.
"This is a hospital, how are you feeling! If there’s anything uncomfortable about your body, you must speak up!"
The person who answered was Dr. Xue.
This prestigious Dr. Xue, a leading figure in the medical field, now unexpectedly in front of her sickbed.
"I’m not feeling uncomfortable, everything feels very good."
Bai Xiao had, in fact, already circulated her special ability throughout her body, and it really had recovered very well, even better than before. It seemed like that bundle of special ability was more submissive than before—a foreign feeling.
Submissive?
Yes!
That was exactly what she felt—a submissive sensation.
It was like that gathered bundle of white enigma, acting like a pet cat, obediently squinting at her, waiting for its master’s call.
Her body not only had no issues—it felt stronger than ever. She could sense an inexhaustible energy all over her.
Alright!
She admitted that her special ability seemed to have changed, but unfortunately, she hadn’t figured out yet exactly how it had changed.
"Really? No discomfort? Like dizziness, or nausea, or any sort of panic?" the surrounding experts asked eagerly.
They certainly did not want such a prospect to be ruined.
Because saving members of a foreign delegation with acupuncture, exhausting all her strength and then falling ill, could signal a premature demise.
Bai Xiao nodded very seriously.
Was she really ill, and was there a need for her to lie?
"I really do feel very good now, aside from feeling hungry, there are no other issues."
Finally, everyone felt relieved.
"That’s great, that’s great! You’re hungry, aren’t you? Where is the head nurse, head nurse?"
Dr. Xue’s outburst of sound immediately caused the head nurse to rush in, thinking there had been some emergency, only to see Bai Xiao sitting up on her bed, perfectly fine. Not having time to think much, as long as Dr. Xue spoke, it was their privilege.
"Dr. Xue, what can I do for you?"
"Is the cafeteria still open? Never mind, the meals there are not tasty. Let’s do this, go to Qinya Bistro outside, their meals are light yet nutritious. Tell them I recommended it. Seafood porridge, their top-notch steak, signature peppered beef fillet with Italian pasta, grilled eel, classic sushi, and also salad, and more..."
"Dr. Xue, that’s enough, thank you!"
Bai Xiao quickly spoke up, lest Dr. Xue was treating her like she was fattening a pig.
That was a bit too much; had something happened while she was asleep?
Of course, she didn’t know that while she was sleeping, Dr. Xue and his team had done a lot of work.
Not only had the members of the delegation been pulled out of danger, but they were also gradually recovering. Each one was already requesting food—an absolute miracle.
The speed of recovery could be considered epic.
