Huo Yuanchen's burns were not light, and a large area of skin on his chest turned dark brown.
After carefully examining his condition, the doctor said , "The skin here is already dead. Just bear with me for a moment while I tear off the dead skin for you. This way, the medicine will be more effective."
Huo Yuanchen nodded without saying anything.
Wen Li guessed that he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. Thinking of this, he was terrified when he saw the doctor holding the tweezers, and kept reminding him, "Be careful, don't hurt him."
The doctor's technique was very skillful, and the dead skin was peeled off in a short while. He wrote a prescription and asked Wen Li to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. While waiting, he chatted with Huo Yuanchen, "That's your girlfriend, she's worried about you."
Huo Yuanchen thought back to Wen Li's chattering and said with a headache, "She's too noisy."
The doctor smiled and said, "It's better to make some noise. If she is quiet and doesn't care about you, then you should be anxious."
Huo Yuanchen didn't say anything. He felt that the doctor's words were outrageous. When he was not in bed, he hoped that Wen Li would not bother him. How could he be anxious?
Wen Li quickly got the medicine back. She ran back and forth, her little face flushed and her forehead covered with sweat.
"Doctor, the medicine is here."
The doctor used a cotton swab to apply the medicine to Huo Yuanchen's wound, and while applying it, he told Wen Li, "This medicine is anti-infective. Apply it to him again tonight, and apply it once every night in the future. After applying it, bandage the wound with clean gauze. Apply it for a total of two weeks. During this period, do not let the wound come into contact with water. Come back for a follow-up visit in two weeks."
Wen Li opened her eyes wide and listened carefully, afraid that she would miss a word. She waited for the doctor to continue, but she didn't expect that the doctor had already called the next patient.
"Is it over?" she asked.
"It's over," said the doctor.
Wen Li refused, "Doctor, his wound is so big, you only apply such a small amount of medicine, will it work? My mother burned her hand while cooking before, and my father applied a thick layer of burn ointment on her. Look, he hasn't even finished the small tube of medicine. Why don't you apply all the medicine in this tube, otherwise if his wound gets infected, won't it be more troublesome?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Huo Yuanchen's cold gaze. His expression as he looked at her was indescribable.
The doctor patiently explained, "This is a newly developed biotechnology drug. It not only has anti-infection ingredients, but also promotes cell regeneration. Even though it's just a small amount, the effect is several times better than the previous burn medicine."
Wen Li only understood half of what he heard and repeatedly confirmed, "Is this really enough?"
"Of course it is. This medicine is very effective. Since the introduction of this medicine, the infection rate of patients admitted to our burn department has dropped by 30%. Patients are not as painful as before. It can be said that this medicine is good news for burn patients."
Wen Li smacked his lips, "This medicine isn't expensive, how could it be so effective?"
The doctor laughed at her, "Good things don't come cheap, but that doesn't apply to medicines. In the past, the patented technologies of similar medicines were monopolized by a few foreign pharmaceutical companies. We imported a small amount, and the price was very high. Many patients couldn't afford it and would rather endure the pain than let us use imported medicines. Fortunately, our domestic scientists have worked hard and not only broke the foreign patent monopoly, but also almost halved the price of the medicine, and the effect is better than imported medicines."
The doctor pointed in the direction of Haishi University and said, "Speaking of which, this medicine was developed by a professor at Haishi University. If you are interested, you can go to Haishi University and ask. Maybe you can listen to the professor's open class."
When Wen Li helped Huo Yuanchen into the car, he felt that what he had just heard was not true.
"Are you stupid?" Huo Yuanchen laughed at her coldly, "Driving without a seat belt?"
Wen Li nodded mechanically, then stopped the car, fastened his seat belt, but did not start the car.
"Huo Yuanchen." She stared at him blankly, with a different light flashing in her eyes, "That burn medicine, could it be that you invented it?"
Huo Yuanchen couldn't bear to look at her silly appearance. If it wasn't for the wound, he really wanted to knock her head hard to hear if it was filled with water.
"The wording is not accurate." He pursed his lips and said, "I guess so."
"Why do you say it is?" Wen Li didn't understand.
“The successful launch of the new drug is not just my own achievement, but the result of the hard work of the entire team.”
Wen Li nodded seriously, "Then you are also quite amazing. The doctor said that this medicine has saved many patients. Huo Yuanchen, I suddenly realized that you are quite great."
"It's nothing great, it's just my job." Huo Yuanchen said, "There are many people like me in this world."
Wen Li thought for a while and said, "Maybe you are surrounded by elites, so you don't think your work is that great. But for ordinary people like me, your medicine can save my father's life, and it also saves the lives of many more people, and their families, all benefit from your medicine. I think it's great, and your work is much more valuable than mine."
Huo Yuanchen pulled the corner of his mouth and said to her, "I noticed that you still have occupational discrimination?"
Wen Li was originally touched, but after hearing what he said, the professional halo she had for him disappeared. She thought, she was touched by the scientists who benefited mankind, not a certain person.
She had never seen Huo Yuanchen doing scientific research, and had no way of connecting him with those scientists who had left their names in history.
It was just that he helped her block the boiling water thrown at her by Meng Jinnian's mother today. She was taught by her family to be grateful since she was a child, so she couldn't just abandon him.
Not only did she accompany him to the hospital for treatment, she also stayed at his house and took care of him everywhere, fearing that his wound would get infected.
When she was applying medicine to him at night, she saw the hideous wound and couldn't help thinking that if he hadn't blocked it, the cup of boiling water would have been poured on her face.
She couldn't imagine what it would be like if her face was burned, so she felt a little grateful to Huo Yuanchen.
"Let me make you some soup. I checked and found that you need to avoid certain foods and supplement your nutrition." Wen Li took the initiative to say.
Huo Yuanchen said "hmm" without any emotion. He was a little worried about the academic report in two days. With his injury, he probably couldn't go.
If I had known this would happen, I would not have gone to pull Wen Li.
"When are you leaving?" he asked Wen Li.
Wen Li had just placed an order online. Upon hearing this, he replied without even looking up, "I'm not leaving. I'll stay and take care of you."
Then, she showed him her phone and said, "Look, I've even bought daily necessities. I'll send them over later."
Huo Yuanchen didn't want to agree at first, but then he thought, he couldn't touch water for two weeks, and if he didn't take a shower, his body would definitely stink. He has mysophobia, and he would definitely feel uncomfortable asking the nurse to wipe his body, but Wen Li could barely accept it.
I didn't say anything else.
He asked Yu Jingchen to ask for leave for him and did not go to school for the past two days, so the news of his injury soon spread to the students.
He has quite a few students, and they all came together to see him. Although An Wen is not yet his student, she is also his prospective disciple, and she also came with her senior brothers and sisters.
It was Wen Li who opened the door.
He and An Wen stared at each other and stood in a stalemate at the door.
