From Sidekick to Bigshot

“That’s impossible… How could the spinal surgery operation be…”

“Well, why don’t you experience it for yourself?”

As he said this, Liu Ting walked to the end of the bed. He lifted the blanket and pinched Wen Yan’s toe.

A painful feeling…

It was painful… His toe was in pain!

After becoming paraplegic, he lost all sensation in the lower half of his body.

And now, he felt the presence of his feet!

In these nine years, he hadn’t felt anything!

“Don’t get excited! Take it easy! Please take it easy. You can’t move around yet. You still have wounds on your body!”

Liu Ting hurriedly reminded Wen Yan. He did not want Wen Yan to do a tumble turn on the hospital bed.

Then, Liu Ting said to Wen Yan: “Although your spine has been repaired, it will still be a long time before you can walk again. Your legs haven’t moved in ages. Even if you have regular massages, there has been significant muscle atrophy. As a result, it will not be easy to stand up again.”

“Do something else.”

“Do what?”

“Anything. I just want to feel the presence of my legs!”

Wen Yan said excitedly. His eyes also glowed with excitement.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ting said: “Alright. You asked for this!”

Then, Liu Ting took out a pen and tickled Wen Yan’s foot a few times.

He could feel it!

He could finally feel his legs again!

When Liu Ting saw the look on Wen Yan’s face, he suddenly thought of doing something cheeky.

Liu Ting lifted the blanket up a bit more and took hold of one of Wen Yan’s leg hairs. Then, he yanked it.

However, as he did not hear Wen Yan’s scream of pain, Liu Ting was a little bit disappointed. After a pause, he asked: “Do you not feel pain?”

“I do.” However, Wen Yan was incredibly happy.

His eyes began to fill with tears.

“Oh my goodness. I know it’s painful but you don’t need to cry okay?”

Liu Ting said as he handed a tissue to Wen Yan. “Please wipe your tears away.”

“Thank you.” After a long while, Wen Yan finally calmed down and remembered to thank Liu Ting.

“You don’t need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank the three doctors who performed the operation on you. They spent thirteen whole hours on this surgical operation. This meant that as of now, two of them are still sound asleep.”

“I’m willing to give all my assets to the three of them,” Wen Yan said.

“That’s not necessary. They don’t want your assets,” Liu Ting replied with a smile. “You’ve already paid your medical expenses?”

“What do you mean?”

Liu Ting pointed at the location of the injury on Wen Yan’s chest. Then, he said: “You took an arrow for Yiling. Yiling performed the surgery for you.”

“She’s one of the three doctors who performed the operation?”

“And she had the most important role,” Liu Ting explained. “You must have heard about her surgical abilities before. She’s the only one in this world who can perform such an operation. Naturally, she needs the help of two other doctors to insert the coded artificial neurons.”

Wen Yan became silent.

Then, Liu Ting said to Wen Yan: “You also know the biologist who created the artificial neurons. He’s your cousin, Jian Yunmo. He’s one of the other doctors who performed the operation on you.”

Jian Yunmo and Jian Yiling…

They performed the surgical operation on him…

After this registered, Wen Yan smiled. However, his eyes were all teary.

“Hey! Don’t cry! Why are you crying again? You’re a man! Why do you like to cry so much? Since you’re happy about this, shouldn’t you be smiling? Don’t cry! It’s ugly to cry! Furthermore, if you’re crying, Yiling and Brother Yunmo will think I’m bullying you or something!”
