Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 764: Chapter 99: Emotional Brainwaves

Five days after Wang Shuai’s incident, Xuerou still hadn’t returned home. But one advantage of being on good terms with Romeo One was that she was able to receive some special treatment in terms of vacation.

Si Yiyi Hospital called and said that an advanced device to measure brain responses had been delivered.

Xiao Que had no relatives in Beijing, and Wang Fenglei was not in Beijing. The Wang Family would only provide top-notch nursing care for Xiao Que, and anything beyond that was not their responsibility.

After hearing the news, Xiao Xian hesitated all morning. Since learning from Yiyi that Beastmen might be unable to reproduce normally, she changed her usual behavior. She neither cried nor made a fuss, but stuck to her daily routine, attending classes, studying, and going to bed on time. Everything seemed too regimented, which somewhat frightened Xiao Xian.

Upon hearing about Xiao Que’s situation, Yiyi suggested that Xiao Xian should visit her in the hospital. Concerned about leaving Yiyi alone on campus, Zhang Yiyi remained calm: "Don’t worry too much, that’s fine. I will be able to stay with my dad in the future." Looking into Yiyi’s calm and determined eyes, Xiao Xian turned her head away, feeling a surge of sourness in her nose.

"Yiyi, do you blame us for not stopping you in time from swallowing the seven-colored lizard that night?" Xiao Xian felt regret in her heart. If she had discovered it earlier, perhaps things would have been different.

"No, if I hadn’t swallowed the seven-colored lizard, I would have been just an ordinary student who couldn’t keep up with you all, and I wouldn’t have met Wang Shuai. At least I had some exciting times. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine," Yiyi hugged Xiao Xian and whispered a sentence.

There is no obstacle in the world that cannot be overcome. After hearing this from her, Xiao Xian left the North Campus with peace of mind to visit Xiao Que at the 411 Hospital.

The machine Wang Fenglei requested before his departure was a brainwave reading device, said to be the latest technology from the United States with a market price of around three hundred thousand. Purchasing such a high-end device for a single patient was obviously something Wang Zhonghe was reluctant to do.

So when he approved the purchase, he tampered with the order. They bought the machine, but it wasn’t the kind that Wang Fenglei initially requested, which could fully express the patient’s brainwaves. Instead, it was only capable of expressing the patient’s emotions such as happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.

As half a month ago, Xiao Que was still motionless. However, the nurse said that Xiao Que was trying hard. Although she still couldn’t speak or move, she was now able to swallow simple things and didn’t have to rely on the hospital’s nutrition injections anymore.

"She is even more persistent than some adults. At first, she could only eat porridge, and now she can swallow some harder food," said Zhou Ziang, who was also present as a caretaker.

"But we still haven’t figured out the cause that would allow her to recover normal movement?" Xiao Xian watched medical staff adjusting the reading device, similar to an everyday computer, with red and green xy-axis curves flickering on the main display.

"There’s no way to know for sure, but she’s very happy to see you coming," Zhou Ziang pointed to the red curves that had obviously surged. The brainwave reading device had two colors: red curves representing positive emotions and green curves for negative emotions.

"It’s hard to tell, it seems she likes me better. When we were in the log cabin, she clearly favored you, the big brother," Xiao Xian said with a hint of jealousy, sensing a different kind of sentimental undertone in her tone, while Zhou Ziang’s face broke into a grin.

"Xiao Xian, you’re here too," came Yu Gang and Mei Nian, who had also heard about Xiao Que’s situation. Yu Gang didn’t have much of a connection with Xiao Que. It was Mei Nian who said the little girl was pitiful and that they should come visit.

"Uncle Yu, Master Uncle," greeted Xiao Xian, seeing that Mei Nian looked very happy and radiant with happiness.

Mei Nian replied and walked to the bedside, holding Xiao Que’s hand, "Xiao Que, Aunt Mei has come to see you. I also brought Uncle Yu Gang, whom I’ve told you about," she said, reaching out to sweep back a few strands of hair from Xiao Que’s forehead.

Zhou Ziang stood aside, and heard a "beep beep" sound from the brainwave monitor.

He turned to look, and the green curve was soaring, prompting him to take a closer look.

Yu Gang also went over, looking at the little girl lying in bed, whose eyes didn’t even move. He felt a wave of emotion - with her current condition, modern medicine could not help.
