After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Rong Heng is a man after all, and no matter how meticulous he is, he can't be as careful as Wen Baizhi.

When he helped Si Jiu wipe the corners of his mouth, his movements were not very gentle. He didn't even have the habit of carrying a handkerchief with him. He just used his sleeves to wipe Si Jiu's mouth.

As a result, after several rounds, the corners of Si Jiu's mouth began to turn red.

After wiping it a few more times, the corners of Si Jiu's mouth were a little broken.

As a result, Si Jiu's mouth could be said to be rotten inside and out.

But that's not the most important thing right now.

The most important thing is the final effect of this acupuncture on the tongue.

Rong Heng kept counting the time while waiting to help Si Jiu remove the needle. Si Jiu wanted to remember the time, but he was unable to do so.

All his willpower was used to fight his pain, and he had no time to think about anything else.

It was just a cup of tea. In the past, when Si Jiu was with Wen Baizhi, he felt that time passed very quickly just by chatting and laughing.

Especially in bed, sometimes Wen Baizhi would deliberately not let him go, always coaxing him by saying it was the last time, and he always did as she said, but after a few times, he forgot how time passed.

But now, in such a short period of time, he felt that a very long time had passed.

Finally, Rong Heng came to remove the needle.

Rong Heng's hands were always very steady when he was giving the acupuncture treatments, but when it came time to remove the needle, he began to become a little nervous.

He first removed all the needles from Si Jiu's body, and then removed the needles from Si Jiu's tongue.

As the needles on his tongue were removed one by one, Si Jiu's tense nerves began to return to normal little by little.

After the last needle was removed, Si Jiu visibly relaxed.

Then there were two wooden sticks placed in his mouth.

After the wooden stick was taken out, Si Jiu couldn't close his mouth completely for a while.

"It's probably because you kept your mouth open for too long. Try to close your mouth slowly and relax it little by little. The same goes for your tongue. Give it time to return to normal slowly."

Rong Heng explained on the side.

Si Jiu did as he was told and mechanically contracted his mouth little by little, then slowly closed it, and finally closed it completely.

During this time, his tongue was making the same soothing movements in his mouth.

However, the wound in his mouth caused by the wooden stick just now hurt even more now that he closed his mouth.

It should be because when my mouth was open just now, the wound did not close up.

Now that my mouth is closed, the wounds are stuck together and the pain is much more obvious.

Si Jiu felt his tongue numb at this moment. He tried to speak to Rong Heng, but could only make a few sounds like "hmm" and "ah".

He pointed to his throat and looked at Rong Heng again.

Rong Heng finally felt relieved when he heard that he could make sounds.

He hurriedly explained to Si Jiu: "You can't speak now, and it's normal to feel numbness in your tongue, because you are starting to recover now. The numbness in your tongue is also because your sense of taste is recovering. Thank God, you can still make a sound now. You know, you couldn't make any sound last time."

From this, Rong Heng can basically determine that Si Jiu's treatment was successful.

"This is just a preliminary assessment. You may need to wait until your tongue is no longer numb and you try to taste something yourself to know if you have truly returned to normal."

Rong Heng was still a bit conservative.

After all, no one can make a conclusion about the future.

If he said now that Si Jiu had really succeeded and could taste the flavor, giving Si Jiu the greatest hope, and then found out that he still couldn't taste the flavor, wouldn't that make Si Jiu even more desperate?

However, he still comforted her: "Don't worry too much. From my point of view, you are in a good condition now, and your sense of taste has most likely been restored."

Si Jiu was unable to speak, he could only express his opinions by nodding or shaking his head.

He nodded at Rong Heng.

There was a gleam of gratitude in his eyes.

Wen Baizhi outside the room had been waiting anxiously for more than an hour.

During this time, Ping An brought a stool for her, but she didn't bother to sit down.

Cuizhi also brought her cakes and tea, but she also didn't care to eat or drink.

She only wanted Si Jiu to come out as soon as possible.

At this moment, the result doesn't matter to her.

Si Jiu’s safety is the most important thing.

It was also at this time that Wen Baizhi realized the feelings of the family members waiting outside the operating room in the TV dramas she watched when she was still in modern times.

I was really nervous, but at the same time, I also had some vague expectations.

After all, what if it succeeds?

What if Si Jiu can restore his sense of taste this time?

Finally, after she had counted Si Jiu's name countless times in her mind, the door opened.

The first one to come out was Rong Heng.

Wen Baizhi hurried over to greet him: "What's going on? Where's Si Jiu? Is he still inside?"

Rong Heng had no intention of being mysterious, so he said directly: "This treatment should be successful, because he just couldn't speak, but he can still make sounds. But this is still my preliminary judgment. His tongue is still numb now, and it may take a day to recover to normal. It may take even longer for him to regain his sense of taste. Anyway, don't worry, take your time."

"Okay, okay," Wen Baizhi said several good words in a row, "He's still in there, right?"

Rong Heng replied, "It's still inside. It still hurts a little when the needle was inserted just now. The places on the upper body where the needle was inserted should not touch water today. The same goes for the tongue. It should not touch water for the next few days. Be careful when eating. Try to eat dry food. After two or three days, you can eat normally."

Rong Heng reminded Si Jiu in detail about everything he needed to pay attention to in the future.

Although Wen Baizhi's heart had already flown to Si Jiu at this moment, she still paid some attention to Rong Heng's medical advice.

After all, postoperative care and recovery are also extremely important, and she knows that.

Finally, Rong Heng had finished giving all of his medical instructions, and Wen Baizhi could go find Si Jiu.

Si Jiu will need to take medicine for his health later, but he can't drink water for a short time. Rong Heng has to find a way to make the medicine into pills so that he can swallow it directly without water.

When Wen Baizhi entered the room, Rong Heng also left.

Inside the room, Si Jiuheyi sat by the window, looking downstairs and into the distance, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

But when he heard the voice of Wen Baizhi coming, the sadness in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by the gentleness and tenderness that Wen Baizhi was most familiar with.

She smiled knowingly, sat down next to him, and then put her arms around him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Zijin. You have won once again."
