Chapter 746: Sir, Your Kidney Is Weak

After getting on the plane, Zheng Ren leaned on Xie Yiren’s shoulder. He didn’t even say a gentle word before he fell into a deep sleep.

There was nothing in his heart. When he completely relaxed, he couldn’t hold himself back anymore. He slept soundly.

When he was woken up by Xie Yiren, he had already returned to the Imperial Capital.

Zheng Ren felt a little embarrassed after sleeping the whole way. Little Yiren did not move at all. She was afraid of disturbing Zheng Ren’s sleep. Half of her body was probably numb.

“Are you feeling better?” Xie Yiren stretched her shoulders and asked with a smile.

“Uh... I’m fine. I think I’ll be able to recover in a few days,” Zheng Ren told the truth.

His body was sore, especially where the left rib bone was broken. It was still at the peak of hyperaemia and edema. The swelling tissue was pressing on the intercostal nerves, and it was throbbing in pain. However, Zheng Ren was not going to tell Xie Yiren about this in case she was worried.

This kind of injury was not a big deal, so there was no need to make a big deal out of it.

There was not much luggage, so everyone went down in order.

Zhao Yunlong’s face was a little sad. Zheng Ren knew that he was thinking about his comrade who had sacrificed himself.

In peacetime, the word sacrifice was so distant that many people had forgotten it.

They hoped that they could forget it forever. Everyone was fine. It was better than anything else.

When they left the airport, Chang Yue and Professor Rudolf Wagner stood in the first row and waved. It was unknown how long they had been waiting.

Those who were waiting for the plane were usually family members of the medical staff who had been pulled to the frontline at the first moment.

They left abruptly and had now returned, hugging and crying their families.

Professor Rudolf Wagner opened his arms, wanting to give Zheng Ren a big hug but was stopped by Zheng Ren with his eyes.

“Boss, I missed you so much.” The professor was a little excited and his long golden hair flew in the air.

“Oh.” Zheng Ren held Xie Yiren’s hand and glanced at him. He smiled and said, “How many surgeries have you performed?”

“No one went out to receive patients. We only performed 12 surgeries,” Professor Rudolf Wagner said.

In one week, they had performed 12 TIPS surgeries. No matter where they were placed, it was not a small number. However, to achieve the group’s goal, it was not enough.

If they wanted to win the Nobel Prize, they had to complete a huge number of surgeries to conquer the judges. Twelve surgeries per week. At that speed, it would take them ten years to win the Nobel Prize.

“Don’t worry, I’m back,” Zheng Ren said lightly.

The professor nodded repeatedly, looking as if he was waiting for his boss to come back.

“What do you want to eat?” Chang Yue asked.

Zheng Ren felt Xie Yiren’s hand move slightly, as if there were plenty of suggestions coursing through her mind.

However, Xie Yiren did not say anything. Instead, she turned her head to look at Zheng Ren.

“I’m fine with whatever you want.” Zheng Ren smiled slightly.

It was indeed a smile. Zheng Ren did not even dare to speak loudly. Once his facial muscles were overworked, it would cause heart-wrenching pain. If he spoke loudly, his chest would move violently. The place where his ribs were broken would also be in pain.

“Let’s just get a simple bite. I want to go for a massage,” Su Yun said. “I want the essential oil to open up my back and help me relax my body.”

“I’ll...” Zheng Ren was about to refuse but Su Yun interrupted him. “Boss, let’s go together.”

Zheng Ren did not dare to tell him about the injuries on his body. He hesitated for a moment and felt that it was very comfortable to have his feet burned. He took a look at Xie Yiren and agreed.

On the way, Professor Rudolf Wagner kept talking about how small the ward was, how difficult the conditions were, and how many surgeries there were.

Zheng Ren had considered all of these, so he could only take it one step at a time.

The professor drove and followed Xie Yiren’s directions to an antique restaurant near the Golden Palm.

“The porridge and pastries here are good. They have their own characteristics. You haven’t eaten for too long and probably have gastrointestinal problems. Have some porridge for the next few days,” Xie Yiren said.

This was a serious matter. Although they were still hungry after eating the porridge, they were also spared from the possible negative consequences.

If they were to come back from the frontline and be defeated by a plate of boiled mutton, wouldn’t they be considered laughing stock?

Zheng Ren and Su Yun forced themselves to be energetic, talking and laughing with the others.

However, Su Yun was much quieter than usual and it didn’t go unnoticed. Xie Yiren had also endured for a few days and was slightly listless. She ate a simple meal and went straight back to the Golden Palm.

A few hundred meters away from the community entrance, there was a newly opened massage shop. Su Yun had already searched for this shop on his phone and wanted to go for a massage.

Xie Yiren was obviously tired, so she got out of the car. Zheng Ren patted her head and agreed to have breakfast with her tomorrow morning before they parted ways.

“Boss, you can’t ask for Little Yiren’s opinion on everything. If you do, it’ll be inconvenient for you to do anything in the future,” Su Yun grumbled as he yawned while they walked.

“I don’t have anything to do either.” Zheng Ren’s eyes were a little hollow. He was so sleepy that he could fall at any time. “If I can’t do anything one day, I’ll stay at home every day. I’ll go shopping early in the morning and cook with Yiren. After that, I’ll spend the rest of the day just watching TV. It’s a pretty good life.”

“Colorful world... Ah...” As he said that, Su Yun yawned.

He really didn’t have the energy to be long-winded. Fortunately, the foot massage shop wasn’t far away and was only a few minutes’ walk away.

This shop was newly opened and the hall was filled with the faint smell of decorative material.

However, since they were close to each other, there was nothing to be picky about. Both of them were exhausted and only wanted to seize the time to lie down.

“Boss, let me tell you, a good massage therapist can indeed let you relax wholeheartedly,” Su Yun said as he yawned.

Zheng Ren did not say anything and followed behind Su Yun blindly.

“Good sirs, are you here to apply for a membership? The opening fee is $1,000 for you and $200 for you,” the front office manager of the massage shop greeted them warmly.

However, he did not know the state of the two people he was facing. Their smiling faces turned into nothing.

Su Yun listlessly rejected his suggestion, saying that he would try it first. After asking around, he asked for a back essential oil massage, while Zheng Ren only asked for a foot bath.

Su Yun did not have much of an opinion about Zheng Ren’s request. He was exhausted to death so he couldn’t care.

A waiter sent the two of them to a massage room and changed their clothes. Su Yun laid on the bed with his upper body naked, turning into a puddle on the massage bed.

Zheng Ren half-lay on the massage bed, waiting for the hot water to arrive.

A few minutes later, the persistent front office manager and two masseuse came in. He first observed the situation in the room and saw Su Yun lying on the massage bed, seemingly asleep. He sized him up and said, “Sir, have you been feeling very tired recently? Have you been unable to rest? This is a sign of qi stagnation in the kidney,” the front office manager said as if he were speaking facts.

Zheng Ren was very tired but he could not help but laugh in his heart. He raised his foot and put it into the warm water.

It was so warm that his body felt lighter.

On the other hand, Su Yun pretended to be dead and did not say a word.

The front office manager did not feel embarrassed and continued, “Sir, look at your waist. There are two pits. This is a sign of kidney deficiency.”

“That’s the rhombus of Michaelis[1],” Zheng Ren and Su Yun bought said in unison.

[1] According to Wikipedia, the ‘rhombus of Michaelis’ is “a rhombus-shaped contour (also referred to as kite-shaped or diamond-shaped) that is sometimes visible on the lower human back.”
