Perfect Form

After Cui Man came up, she immediately gave him a big hug. "That's great, Darling..."

"What kind of name is that?" Xiao He muttered, patting her head to comfort her, "Alright, alright, everything's fine now, isn't it?"

After a while, she released him, looked at him and smiled, "At the last moment, Wanqing changed your name to 'Lin Tiannan'... Although it was risky, there was no other way at the time. Before you self-destructed, at least you defeated this Flu."

"So that's how it is..." Xiao He murmured to himself.

"You..." Ye Wanqing turned her head, her eyes still brimming with tears, staring at him with a pitiful look that evoked pity.

Could it be that this girl is moved by me and is going to confess her feelings?! Xiao He's heart skipped a beat.

"You idiot! I really do... hate you the most!" Ye Wanqing scolded at the top of her lungs, then angrily pushed open the door and left, leaving everyone stunned.

Xiao He was silent for a moment, then said angrily, "Look at her! What kind of person is she! I did this all for her sake! Do you think I wanted to do it myself? And instead of being grateful, she scolds me!"

"Hmph." Cui Man shook her head and sighed, then laughed and said, "Straight men, oh, they're terrifying..."

Xie Haining, Xia Yu, and the doctors present all nodded in agreement.

"Never mind." Cui Man patted his head. "Let's draw some blood to check your condition, okay?"

As Ye Wanqing pushed open the door and left, she wiped away her tears while muttering curses all the way, "You big jerk... how could you make me worry so much? I hate you the most! I'll spit in the chicken soup I heated up for you later..."

But while she was cursing, she couldn't help but laugh at the same time, "Great, he survived..."

While undergoing the examination, Xiao He couldn't help but feel somewhat fortunate: he had truly brushed with death; that place was probably the afterlife, a void beyond. But what about that wall?

"How are you feeling?" Cui Man asked with a smile, arms crossed.

"Apart from a slight pain in my eardrum, everything else is fine," Xiao He said, rubbing his right ear.

"Because Wanqing called your name loudly right next to your ear," Xie Haining teased with a smile.

"Ah, I knew it." Xiao He frowned, and Xia Yu quickly added, "Wanqing was very worried about you! She stayed by your side the whole time and didn't want to leave, and she even cried when you were in danger."

"I can't imagine what that scene will be like..." Xiao He muttered to himself, letting the doctor draw his blood, do a nasopharyngeal swab, take his temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. After a while, Ye Wanqing returned.

"I heated up a bowl of chicken soup for you," Ye Wanqing muttered angrily, placing the bowl in front of Xiao He. "Drink it."

"Alright, alright," Cui Man waved her hand and said, "Let's go out first and let them rest for a bit."

Xie Haining and Xia Yu waved to them and then left the scene with several doctors. Thus, only Xiao He and Ye Wanqing remained in the room. Ye Wanqing didn't say anything, but scooped up a spoonful of soup and fed it to him.

"Have you eaten?" Xiao He asked cautiously. Ye Wanqing kept a straight face and continued to feed him soup, "I'll eat after you've eaten."

"This chicken soup tastes better than before, did they add something...?" Xiao He muttered to himself, glancing at his phone beside him. "What time is it?"

"Six o'clock in the morning." Ye Wanqing still had a stern face, seemingly still angry.

"It's been a whole day and night..." Xiao He sighed.

"I saved your life," Ye Wanqing said, glaring at him.

"Yes," Xiao He said helplessly. Although he was a little reluctant, Ye Wanqing's words made sense.

If Ye Wanqing hadn't risked changing his name to "Lin Tiannan" at the last minute, he probably would have really died from the Flu. However, changing his name to "Lin Tiannan" was actually quite dangerous...

"Your life is mine from now on, understand?" Ye Wanqing said expressionlessly, feeding him with a spoon.

"Hmm..." Xiao He responded with a straight face, his mind still preoccupied with the Flu.

Ye Wanqing, on the other hand, was sulking. "Don't you understand the implication?! Idiot! Why don't you speak first?! Why do I have to be the one to say it first?! You pig!"

She grew angrier the more she thought about it: She should have spat more saliva into the chicken soup!

However, Ye Wanqing's tense nerves relaxed at this moment, and she began to feel sleepy, unable to resist yawning.

"Take a nap, you haven't slept for a day and a night," Xiao He said, patting her head.

"Go get something to eat later, wash your face, and then go to sleep," Ye Wanqing said, rubbing her eyes.

"I need to take a shower." Xiao He sniffed himself, looking disgusted. "I smell like sweat..."

Xiao He felt he had fully recovered, full of energy and spirit, able to run, jump, eat, and sleep. Moreover, after an hour there was still no further stage, so he guessed that the Flu must have been eradicated.

When he came out of the shower, Ye Wanqing was already asleep on the bed next to his hospital bed.

The girl looked very relaxed and was sleeping soundly, like a little angel who had fallen to earth.

"She's only cute when she's asleep..." Xiao He muttered to himself in an annoyed tone, patted her head, tucked the blanket around her, and then leaned back on the bed to pick up his phone and start playing.

After playing on his phone for a while, Xiao He couldn't help but steal a glance at Ye Wanqing, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: This girl is so cute! It's the first time he's realized that girls with short hair can be so adorable. Why did he always like long hair before? It's so strange...

Ye Wanqing slept all morning, and was not woken up until almost noon.

"Darling!" Cui Man excitedly shouted as she pushed open the door. Xiao He, with veins throbbing on his forehead, said while playing on his phone, "Could you please keep your voice down? Don't wake Wanqing!"

But Ye Wanqing had already woken up. She mumbled something groggily and slowly sat up.

After a few seconds of confusion, Ye Wanqing realized it was Cui Man who had come over, and she immediately snapped back to reality, asking, "Sister Man, how is Old Xiao?!"

Cui Man suddenly sighed, feigning sadness, and said, "The Flu virus is still in his body..."

"Then... then..." Ye Wanqing frowned and asked nervously, "Will this... will it have any effect on him?"

At this moment, Cui Man suddenly smiled mysteriously, "Now comes the important part! Although the Flu virus is still in his Flu, it has been forced by our Darling to evolve into a very special state! Do you know what 'probiotics' are?"

"Lactic acid bacteria or something? Bacteria that are beneficial to the body," Xiao He interjected. Ye Wanqing covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Could it be...?"

Cui Man nodded. "Now, this AME Influenza has evolved into a special kind of 'Beneficial Virus,' and because of the virus's Superpower, individual mutations have caused changes in the species as a whole. Now, the Flu in the bodies of all people infected with this Flu has become the same 'Beneficial Virus' as in Xiao He's body!"

"Beneficial Virus? What good can it do for the human body?" Xiao He frowned.

"It's amazing!" Cui Man exclaimed, her bright eyes wide. "It can help you absorb excess energy, so you can eat more without gaining weight, and you'll never have to worry about high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high blood sugar again; its presence enhances the sensitivity of your body's immune system, making you less prone to illness; it can absorb some useless waste from your body, making your skin better, less oily and less prone to acne, and you won't be bothered by constipation!"

"They're all trivial matters, utterly insignificant..." Before Xiao He could finish speaking, Ye Wanqing excitedly interrupted him, "Really?! Can I really eat a lot without gaining weight?"

"Absolutely true." Cui Man nodded and smiled. "We've already researched it. This AME Influenza survives in the human body by absorbing your excess energy and some useless waste products, with almost no side effects!"

As she spoke, Cui Man pinched Ye Wanqing's cheek. "The frequency of minor problems like acne and oily skin will decrease significantly in the future, right? And as long as you don't eat too much, you won't gain weight, so you can eat without worry."

"This is amazing!" Ye Wanqing clapped her hands happily. "AME Influenza is fantastic!"

"Right!?" Cui Man exclaimed excitedly, "All of us in this generation of China will be healthier and more beautiful from now on! And this virus has lost its infectivity, but it can be inherited through genes! In other words, from now on, all of our China descendants can be this healthy and beautiful! Those foreigners can only envy us! AME Influenza is the best!"

"It was planning to kill me just a few hours ago..." Xiao He muttered indignantly, "But you've already forgotten about it and started licking its boots so quickly?"

"I think this is actually the perfect form of a virus," Cui Man said with some emotion. "Viruses themselves are very fragile and cannot survive without a host. So shouldn't the most perfect virus be like those 'probiotics', finding a way to coexist with the host? If they kill the host, they will also die. This kind of mutually beneficial cooperation is the best, isn't it?"

Xiao He thought this made a lot of sense.

However, from this perspective, in the end, he and "AME Influenza" were evenly matched; neither of them lost nor won.

This is probably the strongest enemy I've ever encountered in my life... Xiao He couldn't help but think to himself, but in fact, he had defeated this "Lin Tiannan" without violating his power principle: after all, the best way to eliminate an enemy is to make him your friend.

"And that's not all the discovery we've made this time," Cui Man said proudly, arms crossed, grinning from ear to ear. "There's also some incredibly good news!"

Cui Man spoke, she patted Xiao He's head with the kindness of an old mother. "After this battle against the AME Influenza, the concentration of Miracle Factor in your body has increased a hundredfold!"
