Let Me Give You a Candy

Seeing Li Muhan leave, Su Yang took a deep breath and turned to look at Little Wan on the bed again.

He really didn't know how to bring himself to kiss her, but he couldn't care less now; saving her life was the priority.

Besides, she was just a little girl, so it wasn't a big deal.

He briefly mentally prepared himself, then looked at the pale Little Wan and said, "Little Wan, I'm going to give you a piece of candy."

Saying this, he pulled out a Malteser he had bought at a random convenience store on the way here from his bag.

Su Yang turned, took one out, and held it in front of Little Wan's eyes.

Seeing this, Little Wan asked, enduring her discomfort with a trace of curiosity, "Brother Su... what kind of candy is this?"

"How should I put it? It tastes a bit like chocolate. Anyway, it's very sweet. You'll feel a bit better after eating it."

"Really? Is it better than medicine?"

"Yes, do you want to eat it?"

"Yes." Little Wan nodded vigorously.

Su Yang smiled faintly and brought the Malteser to Little Wan's lips. "Come on, open your mouth."

Little Wan obediently opened her small mouth and took the Malteser in. She pressed her lips together and revealed a strained smile. "Brother Su, it really is sweet."

"Right?"

"By the way, Little Wan, when you eat this, you have to close your eyes and feel it carefully."

"Okay." Little Wan closed her eyes without a second thought.

"Phew~" Su Yang secretly let out a breath. Then, he swallowed and asked aloud in his mind.

—Old System!! Are you sure I have to kiss her?

[Confirmed]

—Damn it!! Fine!

After saying this, Su Yang thought to himself, 'It just told me to kiss her, but it didn't say how. I'll just give her a quick peck!!'

With this thought, he leaned over and approached Little Wan.

No longer hesitating, he took advantage of Little Wan having her eyes closed and gave her dry lips a peck as quickly as possible.

Feeling something unusual, Little Wan was about to open her eyes.

Su Yang immediately said, "Little Wan, don't move. Don't open your eyes, or the effect will be ruined."

"Okay," Little Wan agreed, then asked, "Did something just touch me?"

"It's nothing. I saw something on your lips and wiped it away with my hand."

"Oh, okay."

As they spoke, suddenly, Little Wan felt an incredibly comfortable warm current surge into her body.

Her stomach, which was hurting just moments ago, stopped aching in a matter of seconds, as if the pain had been washed away by this warm current.

"Mmm~" Little Wan, with her eyes closed and brows slightly furrowed, let out a soft groan.

"Brother Su, what's going on? There's something moving around in my stomach~"

"How does it feel?" Su Yang was also very curious and hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, but it feels really comfortable. There's a warm energy running everywhere, and I don't seem to be in pain anymore."

"Really?" Su Yang's face showed joy. It seemed the Medical God skill was starting to take effect.

—Awesome, system!!

—The protagonists in novels at least have to transfer some internal energy or spiritual power to cure a terminal illness, but I can cure someone just by touching them?

[Yes]

—This is absolutely heaven-defying!!

[Ding, Medical God used successfully. Skill is on cooldown. It can be used again in 20 days.]

—Never mind 20 days, even 200 days wouldn't be a problem!!

The frown that had been tightly knit on Little Wan's forehead gradually smoothed out, and her facial expression became very peaceful.

Neither of them spoke again. A minute later, Su Yang asked tentatively, "Little Wan, how are you feeling?"

Little Wan didn't reply.

"Holy crap, she's not gone, is she?" Su Yang hastily stretched out two fingers and placed them by Little Wan's nostrils.

Feeling her even breathing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"She must have fallen asleep. Hehe, you'll be fine when you wake up, and all your illnesses will be gone!"

"Phew! Did another good deed, feels great!"

[Ding, detected that the host is in a good mood after saving someone. Rewarding 3 million.]

[Ding, side quest completed. Rewarding 65 million plus five stat point cards.]

Hearing this, Su Yang knew that Little Wan was completely fine, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

He sat by the bed and stared at Little Wan for a while before getting up and walking to the room's door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Li Muhan standing there with an anxious look on her face.

Seeing Su Yang come out, Li Muhan's eyes happened to catch sight of Chen Little Wan lying motionless on the bed.

Suddenly realizing something, tears rapidly welled up in her eyes.

"Su... Brother Su Yang, what... what happened to Little Wan?"

Watching two streams of clear tears roll down Li Muhan's eyes, Su Yang asked in a daze, "Why are you crying again?"

"Little Wan, she..."

"Oh, Little Wan is fine. She's asleep." Su Yang finally understood what Li Muhan meant and hurriedly said.

"Really?"

"Really, why would I lie to you? Go and see for yourself."

"Okay." Li Muhan quickly walked into the room and sat by the bed. Looking at Little Wan's evenly rising and falling chest, she finally sighed in relief.

"Phew~ That scared me to death. It's good that Little Wan is fine."

Su Yang stood at the door and thought to himself, 'Not only is she fine, she's completely cured!'

However, he didn't know how to explain it to Li Muhan for the time being. Should he use the same excuse he used to fool Little Wan just now?

Little Wan might believe it, but Li Muhan definitely wouldn't.

But there was no other way. He could only say that. Whether she believed it or not, as long as the person was cured, it was fine.

Li Muhan slowly got up, quietly walked out of the room, and closed the door behind her.

Then she looked at Su Yang. "Brother Su Yang, I'll pour you a glass of water."

"Sure, I can drink it now." Su Yang smiled and went to sit on the sofa.

Li Muhan took out a disposable cup, filled it with water for Su Yang, and came to the sofa.

"Here, Brother Su Yang."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Have a seat too," Su Yang said.

"Oh, okay."

Li Muhan sat on a small stool opposite Su Yang.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment.

"Little Wan shouldn't have any problems tonight, right?" Li Muhan was still very worried inside.

Su Yang finished the water in one gulp and smiled faintly. "She's fine, don't worry."

"How... how did you make her fall asleep just now?"

"I gave her a piece of candy."

"Candy?" Li Muhan asked, puzzled.

Su Yang nodded. "Mhm."

"Actually, you should mentally prepare yourself. What I'm going to say next might be a bit shocking."

Hearing this, Li Muhan's hanging heart dropped sharply once again.

She thought Su Yang had seen that Little Wan wouldn't last much longer and was going to talk to her about arranging the funeral.

She took a deep breath and nodded with all her might. "Brother Su Yang, tell me. I can handle it."

"Relax, it's not bad news."

"Huh?"

"Listen, I gave Little Wan a piece of candy just now. Actually, I was lying to her. It wasn't candy; it was a pill."

"A pill?" Su Yang's words left Li Muhan feeling a bit bewildered.

"That's right, it's a pill. How should I put it... this pill can cure terminal illnesses. You might not believe it when I say it, but you'll know once Little Wan wakes up in a little while."

"What?" Li Muhan's body trembled uncontrollably the moment Su Yang finished speaking.

Her first instinct wasn't to think that Su Yang was comforting her or joking with her; you couldn't joke about this kind of thing.

But she hadn't misheard!

Seeing this, Su Yang continued, "I said this pill can cure Little Wan's illness. Once she wakes up from her sleep, she'll be fine."

Li Muhan's brain had completely short-circuited, and even Su Yang sitting in front of her looked a bit blurry.

Su Yang tilted his head and waved a hand in front of her eyes. "Muhan?"

"Huh?" Li Muhan jolted and snapped back to reality.

"What's wrong?"

"N-nothing, Brother Su Yang. What did you just say?"

"I said, Little Wan is fine now."

"F-fine?"

"Yeah, she's fine. Her illness is completely cured. Let me explain it to you. Actually, I had two of these pills in total. They were given to me by an old miracle doctor I happened to meet when I was a kid."

Su Yang scratched his head. "Well, it might sound a bit like a fantasy, but it's the truth. The man said this medicine could cure any disease in the world. I was young at the time and didn't understand it at all."

"Anyway, he just casually gave me two pills. I won't go into the detailed process with you, but a while ago, I tried using this medicine to save another patient who also had cancer."

"Did they get better?" Li Muhan asked hurriedly, her eyes lighting up.

"They did. Alive and kicking."

"This..."

"I had the exact same expression you do now. It was hard to believe, but that person really was cured."

"So I believed it. After that, I always carried the remaining pill with me, and I just gave it to Little Wan."
