Li Yu's face contorted as he swallowed the medicine in his mouth. He looked at the housekeeper with a ferocious expression. "What is this?"
The housekeeper, who was completely unaware of the situation, said, "This is the prescription Miss Cheng gave you. She said it's good for your body, so you should drink it while it's hot."
The medicine was extremely bitter to begin with, so drinking it while it was hot was even worse.
The bitterness seemed to stick to the tongue and could not be removed. Although it was not fatal, it was definitely uncomfortable.
If Li Yu had not been so obsessed with standing up, he would have definitely thrown the bowl of medicine at the housekeeper's face.
Because Li Yu didn't believe it, he bitterly drank the bitter medicinal juice for three days.
When the surgery began, Jiujiu asked Li Yu to drink the anesthetic she had concocted. She cut open Li Yu's trousers and asked jokingly, "Mr. Li, do you want to watch me break a goat's bone with my bare hands?"
Li Yu's expression froze. "No need."
Jiujiu chuckled. "Just watch. If you don't watch, how will you know how I broke your kneecaps?"
He just wanted to stand up like a normal person. He did not want to know the process at all.
Li Yu was expressionless. "… No need. Thank you."
The housekeeper was shocked. It was the first time someone dared to tease Li Yu.
As for Li Yu, after seeing Jiujiu's cheerful and bold appearance, he remembered that he had been drinking the bitter medicine for three days and instantly came to a realization.
Jiujiu was holding a grudge.
Because the medicinal concoction that Jiujiu gave him tasted too bitter, he even got someone to take a look at it.
The doctor could not find any fault with the prescription, but he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Now, when he saw Jiujiu's expression, Li Yu instantly understood.
Back then, Jiujiu had repeatedly emphasized to him that she could cure his illness. She even repeated it to him when he found a man. However, he continued to do whatever he wanted and chose not to believe her.
Jiujiu felt that his actions had insulted her, so she used the bitter medicine to take revenge on him.
Li Yu looked at Jiujiu's expressionless face and inexplicably felt like laughing.
Jiujiu was very young. At that moment, she looked more like a little girl without makeup. Her lips were tightly pursed and her brows were furrowed. Her hair was tied into a small ponytail at the back of her head, making her look like an innocent and harmless college student.
But her words and actions were vengeful.
Just like him.
Li Yu pursed his lips and smiled. He looked at Jiujiu and said in an exceptionally sincere tone, "Miss Cheng, it was my fault for not believing you. I hope you won't be angry."
Jiujiu, who had been waiting for this apology, finally looked up. She looked at Li Yu's sincere face and smiled. "It's good that you know your mistake."
Li Yu was speechless.
Her ability to take advantage of the situation was really amazing.
The butler was speechless.
If Jiujiu wasn't really that capable, she would definitely have been beaten to death.
Li Yu pursed his lips and watched as Jiujiu's hand continuously rubbed his kneecap.
Although he couldn't feel anything because of the anesthetic, he felt as if Jiujiu's finger was like a feather, rubbing his heart over and over again.
Li Yu looked at Jiujiu's slender but not fair fingers. Even the lines on her fingers had become a little dark from being soaked in the medicinal herbs for so long. He said, "Miss Cheng, can you tell me what the chances of me standing up again are?"
"100%." Jiujiu looked up and glanced at Li Yu before lowering her head again. "Mr. Li, what do you mean by that? You don't believe in my skills?"
Li Yu said, "It's not that I don't believe in your skills, Miss Cheng. It's just that I haven't been able to stand up for too long. My desire to stand up is greater than the average person's. I'm not afraid that Miss Cheng will laugh at me for saying this. I even dream of standing up."
It was normal for people like Li Yu to want to stand up. Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled. "Mr. Li, don't worry. Not only can I help you stand up, I can also help you run a marathon."
Li Yu chuckled. "There's no need to run a marathon. As long as I can stand up, I'll feel extremely lucky."
No matter what Li Yu's attitude was like before, his words couldn't be more sincere.
Moreover, it was also a sentence that Jiujiu didn't expect.
A domineering CEO actually said such a pitiful sentence. It was such an adorable contrast.
It gave Jiujiu a kind of pitiful feeling.
Many people chose to give up their lives because of small matters. Li Yu, this proud son of heaven, even standing up was an extravagant hope. Even if he knew that she could cure him, his wish was still so humble. It was really pitiful.
When Butler Li heard Li Yu's humble request, his eyes were instantly filled with tears. No matter how hard he tried to hold them back, they still fell.
Butler Li raised his hand to wipe the tears on his cheeks. He pursed his lips uncomfortably. He didn't know if he was trying to reassure Li Yu or himself. "Sir, don't worry. Miss Cheng will definitely cure your leg."
Li Yu pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed an innocent, child-like smile. "I hope so."
Jiujiu glared at Li Yu in annoyance. "What do you mean by hope? It's 100% possible."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she raised her hand and smashed Li Yu's knee.
When Jiujiu smashed a man's knee, the butler didn't even bat an eyelid. However, when the person being hit by Jiujiu was Li Yu, the butler had goosebumps all over his body. When Jiujiu smashed Li Yu's knee and heard the sound of bones cracking, the butler's legs turned to jelly and he fell on his butt with a thud.
When Jiujiu and Li Yu heard the sound, they both turned to look in the butler's direction. They saw that the butler had fallen on his butt because his legs had turned to jelly.
Jiujiu, "…"
Li Yu, "…"
The butler's face turned red. He weakly got up from the ground and left with his head lowered.
Looking at the butler's flustered back, Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at Li Yu and said, "The butler really cares about you."
Looking at the butler's back, the corners of Li Yu's mouth turned up slightly. "My mother left him by my side. He took care of me since I was young."
Although the two of them were master and servant, they were already like family.
When she heard Li Yu say that the butler was left behind by his mother, Jiujiu suddenly understood.
The people left behind by the older generation were indeed more loyal.
Because of the previous experience, Jiujiu skillfully fixed Li Yu's kneecap. After applying the ointment, she took Li Yu's pulse and went to brew the medicine.
Of course, this time, Li Yu's medicine was brewed by her personally.
After watching Li Yu drink the medicine, Jiujiu asked, "How do you feel?"
"I don't feel anything."
When he first heard the butler say that Jiujiu's anesthetic was very powerful, Li Yu really didn't feel anything. However, when he experienced it himself, he finally understood how powerful Jiujiu's anesthetic was.
