By now, Luo Ji had been staying in the huge garden at Annie's home for several days.
And, of course, nothing had happened during those few days. He'd been able to eat well, drink well, and enjoy a comfortable place to stay. He'd had plenty of time to relax and take things easy, and he felt that his injuries had improved considerably.
After all, he'd had several broken ribs. Because of the nature of rib injuries, he hadn't undergone surgery. In particular, when the damaged ribs hadn't affected any internal organs, the usual clinical recommendation was conservative treatment, with surgery rarely needed. So all he could do was take painkillers and tough it out, waiting for his body to heal on its own.
But, strangely enough, after arriving at this garden nestled in the mountains, with its stunning scenery, excellent food, and comfortable accommodations, he'd found that his injuries were healing exceptionally well. So once he started feeling much better, he changed his original plan to stay only a few days and decided to stick around for the long haul, making other plans only after he'd fully recovered.
After all, he was now a Wallfacer. He was no longer the sociology professor he'd been at the university. He didn't need to worry about work or rack his brains over loan payments, and he no longer had to dream up research projects to swindle funding or mess around with his students.
So he figured that recuperating in this place, far from the city's clamor yet equipped with every convenience, where the food, drink, and accommodations were among the best in the world, and where there were dedicated medical and security teams, not to mention top-tier air, surroundings, and even drinking water, seemed like a pretty good choice.
Anyway!
