After a moment, the system's voice returned.

DING!

ACTIVATION SUCCESSFUL!

PATIENT'S BODY SCAN IS NOW DISPLAYED!

A semi-transparent panel appeared in Lin Feng's mind, displaying Chuan Chuan's body scan. On the back of the scanned head were countless densely packed red dots.

I see. These red dots must correspond to the acupuncture points.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his gaze incredibly determined as he turned to Yu Zheng and his wife. "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, please go outside and wait. Don't come back in until I call for you."

Yu Zheng clearly didn't want to leave, but Sun Rou dragged him out anyway.

「...」

In the living room, Yu Zheng scratched his head and stared at Sun Rou. "What was that about?"

"I..." Sun Rou's voice was a little weak. "I think we should let Lin Feng give it a try! After all, he's Chuan Chuan's uncle."

Yu Zheng scoffed as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke. "Are you kidding me? We've been to so many hospitals and consulted with so many medical professors. Even they were powerless, so what can a university student like Lin Feng possibly do?"

Sun Rou bit her lip firmly, looking directly at Yu Zheng. "Yes, Lin Feng is a university student! He can't compare to those medical professors! But I believe in him because he genuinely cares for Chuan Chuan!

"Those people in the Lin Family... they look at our Chuan Chuan like he's a joke. Every time he does something unusual, they get that look of disdain and mockery on their faces.

"It's like a thorn stabbing into my heart. I will never, ever forget the way they look down on Chuan Chuan!"

As she spoke, crystal-clear tears welled up in Sun Rou's eyes. To outsiders, she always seemed to be in good spirits. Even with Chuan Chuan's autism, she managed to maintain a positive attitude. But they didn't know how many sleepless nights she had spent tossing and turning. The mere thought of Chuan Chuan's condition would jolt her awake from her dreams.

Yu Zheng felt the same. He had poured countless hours into trying to cure Chuan Chuan. He would drop everything at work and fly over from Suhang at the slightest glimmer of hope.

Seeing the sobbing Sun Rou, Yu Zheng went over and hugged her tightly. "Okay, let's let Lin Feng give it a try."

Sun Rou nodded. "Mhm... maybe a miracle will happen."

「...」

Inside the room, Lin Feng activated the Hua Tuo Nine Needles, and a box suddenly appeared before him. Opening it, he saw nine silver needles laid out neatly inside.

Lin Feng picked one up and examined it closely. The silver needle was extremely slender, about thirty centimeters long, and radiated a faint yellow glow. Vaguely, he could feel a chill emanating from it.

Without hesitating, Lin Feng began to perform acupuncture on Chuan Chuan according to the system's prompts. His technique was incredibly skilled; each needle was placed with perfect accuracy, without the slightest bit of delay.

As Lin Feng performed Hua Tuo's Nine Needles, Chuan Chuan's body began to warm up.

About twenty minutes later, the needling was complete, and Lin Feng walked out of the room.

Yu Zheng and Sun Rou hurriedly went to meet him. Seeing Lin Feng's exhausted appearance, they grew anxious.

"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, Chuan Chuan has been cured…" Lin Feng said, his lips trembling.

Hearing this, Sun Rou's pupils contracted. She wanted to rush in to see Chuan Chuan but was stopped by Lin Feng. "Chuan Chuan hasn't woken up yet. Wait another five minutes."

At that moment, Sun Rou's heart began to race, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

He must be joking, Yu Zheng thought. But I hope he's not!

The two sat on the couch, waiting anxiously. To Yu Zheng and his wife, those five minutes felt as long as half a century.

CLICK!

The bedroom door opened. Lin Feng's eldest aunt walked out. Seeing that the others were still awake, she couldn't help but mutter, "Why aren't you all asleep yet? Young people shouldn't stay up all night just because they think they're healthy! It's getting late, go to bed..."

After muttering to herself, she went into the bathroom.

Meanwhile, a sound came from Chuan Chuan's room.

Sun Rou rushed inside and tentatively called out, "Chuan Chuan? Are you awake? Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Chuan Chuan, with his back to Sun Rou, said softly, "I... I'm not thirsty."

Though somewhat stuttered, the words were incomparably clear.

Upon hearing this, the couple froze on the spot, their faces filled with utter excitement. In all his life, Chuan Chuan had only ever been able to say "daddy" and "mommy," and only when he was in a good mood. If he was in a bad mood, he might go half a month without saying a single word. But now, he could actually hold a normal conversation.

Overwhelmed with joy, both Sun Rou and Yu Zheng burst into tears.

"Chuan Chuan!" Lin Feng walked over with a warm smile. "Do you remember who I am? I used to look after you when you were little."

Chuan Chuan looked at Lin Feng and replied with clear enunciation, "I remember. You are Uncle Lin Feng."

Though his voice wasn't loud, to Sun Rou and Yu Zheng, the words were thunderous, like the tolling of a great bell.

Sun Rou lunged forward and hugged Chuan Chuan tightly.

"I... I want to sleep," Chuan Chuan said, starting to struggle. He was getting cranky because he was sleepy.

Yu Zheng pulled Sun Rou away. "Chuan Chuan, be good now. Go to sleep."

Lying in bed, Chuan Chuan felt exceptionally sleepy and soon drifted into a deep slumber.

「...」

The three of them walked out of the room. Sun Rou covered her face, squatted down in the living room, and burst into tears. The sound of her crying was heartbreaking to hear, but it was a release for all the years of helplessness and pain she had endured.

Yu Zheng stood on the balcony, his lips trembling, fighting back his own tears.

When the eldest aunt came out of the bathroom, she was startled to see Sun Rou crying so sorrowfully. "Did you two have another fight? I swear, you've been married for so long, what is there to argue about?"

Lin Feng came over. "Eldest Aunt, you should go back to sleep."

"Lin Feng, you need to talk to them! No matter what happens, life has to go on."

After the aunt left, Sun Rou finally cried herself out. She wiped away her tears and turned to Lin Feng. "Lin Feng, thank you so much! I don't even know how I can possibly thank you."

Lin Feng just smiled and waved his hand. "We're family. There's no need to be so formal. However, you have to keep this a secret for me. No one else can know about this."

"Yes." Sun Rou nodded vigorously.

"It's getting late, I should head back. You two get some rest."

"Okay, be careful on your way." Seeing that Lin Feng was leaving, Yu Zheng hurried back inside from the balcony.

Lin Feng interrupted him with a smile. "Bro, I know what you want to say. Get some rest."

Yu Zheng still wanted to press on, but Sun Rou pulled him back. "Yu Zheng, just let him go home. Whatever you have to say can wait until tomorrow."

Hearing this, Yu Zheng could only nod helplessly.
