Chapter 46: Hospital

With this, the crisis was averted.

Due to the extensive destruction caused by Tisila, the East Four and East Five Districts of Yinshuang City suffered varying degrees of damage. After emergency repairs, basic water and electricity supplies were restored two days later.

This incident had significant repercussions and was, strictly speaking, one of the major crises Yinshuang City had faced in many years.

Tisila, whose combat power was close to the Devil level, was dead. No one knew what exactly happened at that time, and the mysterious person who took down Tisila was a mystery.

Yinshuang Academy initially planned to cancel the practical training, but after a strong request from Jing Xin, it was retained. The primary task for the students afterward was to assist the affected residents.

After the incident, Lin Xinyan was immediately taken to the hospital by Shi Ji. Fortunately, her injuries were not as severe as initially thought, and thanks to her Star constitution, she recovered several times faster than an ordinary person. In just two or three days, she was back to normal.

During these past few days, Shi Ji frequently visited Lin Xinyan, often bringing char siu buns from the bun shop. The owner agreed to provide them for free, which was a relief for Shi Ji given his financial situation.

It was not that Shi Ji was stingy, but he was really out of money. 

The few thousand yuan he had saved over a long period was spent on Lin Xinyan’s medical bills. This amount was insufficient, but when the hospital learned that Lin Xinyan was a B-level hero, they waived the remaining fees. However, the already paid fees were non-refundable. Shi Ji was so angry that he even contemplated tearing down the hospital. He would always remember the hospital’s stinginess.

That afternoon, Shi Ji brought a new flavor of char siu buns to the hospital. Following his usual route to Lin Xinyan’s room, he encountered a short figure, a little girl.

Seeing Jing Xin, Shi Ji turned his face away, and she also showed a look of disdain.

As they approached each other, both stopped.

Not only had Shi Ji been visiting Lin Xinyan frequently, but so had Jing Xin. However, this was the first time their schedules overlapped, and they met in the hospital.

Jing Xin glanced at the bag in Shi Ji’s hand. Despite the outer packaging, she knew it contained char siu buns.

“I heard from Xinyan that you’ve been helping out at the bun shop these past few days. With so many people in need in the East Fourth and Fifth Districts, you don’t plan to lend a hand?”

Her words were pointed, and anyone could catch her meaning.

Shi Ji, unruffled, smirked and retorted, “Then why are you standing here? Shouldn’t you be helping out?”

“You…” Jing Xin’s face turned beet red. She gritted her teeth, looking somewhat adorable in her frustration. She found talking to Shi Ji incredibly exhausting, as he always managed to infuriate her.

Her fists clenched so tightly that one could almost hear the creaking sound. However, after a moment, she slowly released them.

Shi Ji, uninterested in wasting more words on Jing Xin, said nothing more and walked past her.

Jing Xin stood there, glaring at Shi Ji’s receding figure.

What Jing Xin didn’t know was that some of the buns distributed in the East Five District came from the bun shop where Shi Ji worked. In the past few days, the residents whose homes were destroyed had been able to fill their stomachs, and Shi Ji had played a significant role in helping them.
