’m still willing to give you an opportunity now. If you agree, we’ll leave right away.""Duan Ren, your persistence somewhat moves me, but unfortunately, it’s just as I said before: You are not enough...Chapter 1264: Plans Fail to Keep Up with Changes
"No, I actually sleep quite well now. I can fall asleep anytime and anywhere," Liu Yunman shook her head and said, "It's just that the workload is heavy these days, and we don't have enough people. Although I've asked Aunt Mei to help in recruitment, suitable candidates aren't easy to find. Therefore, many tasks still need my personal attention, which leaves me with less time for sleep."
Before Xia Tian could speak up, Liu Yunman quickly added, "But it’s alright. Things are getting better now and soon I'll be able to relax a bit more."
"Sis Yunman, why did you go to the city next door yesterday" Xia Tian asked.
"I went there to pick up some children from their orphanage," Liu Yunman replied. "Most abandoned children are still sent to orphanages now. However, in the orphanage, sick kids are a heavy burden. I saw on the news that an orphanage in the neighboring city is already operating at a loss and can no longer afford treatment for those few kids. So when I heard you were back, I immediately contacted them and wanted to take in these children. The orphanage was cooperative but we still had to go through some procedures which took time. That’s why it's noon now before I could make my way back."
"Sis Yunman, do many children need medical treatment right now" Xia Tian asked.
Liu Yunman shook her head: "Not really. We’re still a new organization after all. All the kids here are those we’ve actively sought out. Only a few of them were recently abandoned and then contacted us when we got the news. The rest mostly come from local orphanages nearby. There are now 17 children in total, with three being completely normal but malnourished, while fourteen have either congenital disabilities that aren’t life-threatening or serious illnesses that currently seem stable. Only three of them have severe conditions; one was just brought back today by me. If you’re busy, you could start with treating these three first. The rest can be attended to later."
"It’s fine. I’ll treat all of them at once; I’m quite quick at healing people now," Xia Tian shook his head instead. Since he was here, it would be better to address everything in one go. This way, Liu Yunman wouldn’t have to work so hard either, as taking care of healthy children and those with illnesses are two different matters.
"Or why don't you go and see them first" Li Yunman said after some thought.
"Alright." Xia Tian also wanted to finish the task as soon as possible.
Under Li Yunman's guidance, Xia Tian arrived at a small hospital inside the abandoned children's home. Although this hospital wasn't large, it was well-equipped with various devices and had several dozen beds. It even had one doctor and two nurses. However, most of the beds were empty, with only three occupied by sick children, one of whom was receiving intravenous fluids.
"Miss Li." The doctor and Hu said to Li Yunman when they saw her come in, greeting her politely.
"Let me introduce Xia Tian to you. You should have heard his name before." Li Yunman introduced Xia Tian's identity, then explained to him: "I know that it's impossible for you to treat these children every day, so we've prepared various equipment here in case of emergencies. We have two general practitioners and four nurses working in shifts to take care of the children. Furthermore, I have reached an agreement with Director He from Jiangda First Affiliated Hospital; if there are emergency cases needing surgery, they can be sent over for treatment. Normally, if some operations are needed, their doctors will provide assistance. In summary, even without you here, we'll do our best to treat these children."
"Sis Yunman, I understand. From now on, I’ll spend one day every month treating them." Xia Tian glanced at the three sick children before continuing: "I’ll start by treating them first; please bring all the other kids over here."
“Alright.” Li Yunman agreed and then instructed the doctor and nurses in the room: “Just assist Xia Tian as needed.”
"Understood, Miss Li." The three responded simultaneously. In their eyes looking at Xia Tian was a hint of admiration; in Jianghai City's medical circle, Xia Tian had already become something of a legend.
The summer had already taken out his silver needles and went to the bed of a child receiving an IV drip, took his pulse, and then quickly inserted several needles into the child's body before directly removing the IV needle. He continued inserting more needles.
About ten minutes later, The summer moved on to treat the second child.
He only spent twenty minutes treating these three children, but for the subsequent dozen or so children, he actually took longer. Especially for a few disabled kids, treatment was even more troublesome. By the time all the children were treated and even the malnourished ones received needle treatments from The summer, it was already past seven in the evening. The entire treatment process took him over three hours.
"It's this late" Putting away his needles, The summer muttered to himself.
Inside the room, after a moment of silence, came enthusiastic applause. By now, there were not just Liu Yunman and those few doctors and nurses but also other staff from the home for abandoned children. There were around ten people who had witnessed this miraculous medical skill in person. Everyone felt invigorated by The summer's amazing skills because it made them feel like they were creating a great miracle together!
"Ms. Yunman, let’s go back," said The summer indifferently.
“No need to return; I have accommodations here,” Liu Yunman softly replied. "How about we eat something and then rest I’m a bit tired too."
“Alright.” To him, it didn’t matter either way.
When Liu Yunman glanced at everyone, she raised her voice and said: "It's getting late. Everyone should go eat something and get some rest early tonight. I believe you all can sleep peacefully."
The crowd agreed one after another; they looked quite pleased. What Liu Yunman said was right—these children were now healthy, so most of them could indeed have a good night's sleep tonight.
Liu Yunman didn't stay any longer but left with Xia Tian first, heading to the canteen nearby where she instructed the chefs to prepare some dishes.
"When are you leaving this time" Liu Yunman asked softly while they were having their meal.
"I need to go to Green Peak Mountain in a few days and probably won't be going back after that," Xia Tian replied.
"Really" Joy flashed across Liu Yunman's face. "Will you stay in Jianghai City permanently from now on then"
"Yes, once the houses on Immortal Island are built, we'll all live together." Xia Tian nodded as he spoke.
“That would be great," Liu Yunman said with a look of longing. She didn't want to continue in this manner where they rarely saw each other for long periods of time. Although she wasn't the type who couldn't survive without a man, she still wished that her partner wouldn’t just appear once every few months. In her ideal situation, she could work normally and whenever she thought about Xia Tian, she would be able to come to him at any moment. Sometimes when she was tired, she needed his comfort as well.
"Sis Yunman, don't worry. It won't take long, just a few months at most."
Liu Yunman nodded and said, "Mm, I believe you."
After a short pause, Liu Yunman asked softly, "By the way, when are you going to Green Peak Mountain Aunt is always there."
"In two or three days," Summer replied after some thought.
At that moment, his phone rang. When he picked up the call and looked at his phone, he was momentarily stunned. It seemed like whoever he talked about would call right away; just now, when they were talking about Liu Meng, she called right on cue.
"Sis Meng, aren't you filming a movie" Summer asked casually upon answering the call.
"Little rascal, didn't you say you'd come to see me Why haven't you arrived yet It's been days already! I'm angry!" Liu Meng did not answer Summer's question but spoke in an obviously unhappy tone.
"Sis Meng, I just returned to Jianghai City and still have some things to take care of. I'll be there right away," Summer hurriedly said.
"You're lying! You must be with other girls right now!" Liudream fumed and said, "I don't care! Come find me tomorrow or I won't play with you anymore!"
"Alright then, Dream姐. I'll go see you tomorrow." Xia Tian had no choice but to agree, as Dream姐 was never one to listen to reason.
"Haha, that's good boy! Oh yeah, naughty boy, you're so silly. It’s nighttime now, of course we don't shoot scenes. I'm going up the mountain to play with Sister Moon, and I'll wait for you tomorrow!" Liudream immediately brightened up and hung up.
Xia Tian looked at Liu Yunman helplessly and said, "Dream姐 is angry so I have to go to Qingfeng Mountain tomorrow."
The saying goes that plans can't keep up with changes. Xia Tian originally planned to play with Wang Xiaoya first and then visit Xiao Qiao to enjoy the fruits of his labor. But now that this call from Liudream came in, he had to change his plan.
After dinner, Liu Yunman brought Xia Tian to her residence here; it wasn't a dorm but rather the former principal's office at this prestigious school. There was also a bedroom inside where Liu Yunman currently resided.
Xia Tian started making calls again first contacting Song Yumei and telling her he would be going to Qingfeng Mountain tomorrow, then calling Xiao Qiao and Leng Bingbing as well before finally reaching out to Wang Xiaoya and letting her know that he could only visit after a while. After all these arrangements, another half an hour had passed.
"Yunman姐…" Putting down the phone, Xia Tian looked up at Liu Yunman, about to say something but immediately fell silent.d over."Alright." Xia Tian wasn't being polite either.The two of them left the private room and stepped out of White Jade Tower, only to see a pair of men and women coming their way. To Xia Tian's sur...
