NOVPUBAfter He Bingbing left, the ward once again fell silent.
This kind of silence was nearly driving Wu Bin insane.
Those who have been burned know.
When you can distract yourself with something else, the pain isn’t as intense.
Like watching television or playing games, you can divert some of your attention away.
But now, Wu Bin lay in the ward, unable to move or talk, and there was no television.
So he could only concentrate fully on the burning pain in his body.
What was most torturous was that under the influence of "Fire of Joy," 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
not only did he feel pain, he also felt the urge to laugh.
Wu Bin suddenly felt he was going insane!
At this rate, he’d become mentally ill before even recovering.
Just as Wu Bin was about to lose his tolerance,
the door to the ward opened again.
This time, it was Song Bing and his two friends walking in, followed by Han Jiaoyan and Xu Qian.
"Wu brother, we’ve come to see you."
Song Bing’s eyes were red, his voice choked up.
Xue Qiang and Liang Ren also showed their support, holding back their sadness as they placed a bouquet of flowers on Wu Bin’s bedside table.
Wu Bin stared wide-eyed at the bouquet, puzzled.
Isn’t this a sterile ward?
You can still bring flowers in here?
Noticing the confusion in Wu Bin’s eyes, Song Bing explained, "Don’t worry, Wu brother, they’re just plastic flowers, and we’ve disinfected them."
"We figured you must be bored staying in this ward, so we thought we’d bring you a flower to add a bit of color to the room, make it feel a bit more warm and cozy."
Wu Bin was touched.
Because the turtle son Song Bing brought white flowers!
Are you trying to add color with this?
Do you wish I was gone sooner?
The photographer stood outside the window, aiming the camera at the ward, live streaming the interactions of everyone inside.
Seeing Song Bing giving Wu Bin a flower and then the three men crying with red eyes, the viewers in the live stream were also deeply moved.
"Maybe this is the pure friendship between college students, look how sad they are crying."
"How could they not be sad? Their lives were all saved by Wu Bin, without him, they wouldn’t have survived."
"Ah, what a good kid Wu Bin is, how could he have ended up like this? Can anyone explain to us what Wu Bin’s condition is right now, can he recover?"
"Reply to the above, I’m a medical student. Let me put it this way, burns are like poisonings, whether you can recover all depends on yourself."
"If Wu Bin can withstand repeated inflammation and infection, successfully heal over with scabs, or if the skin graft surgery is successful, then he will survive."
"But the chances of this are not great, because he has extensive burns, and there simply isn’t enough skin available for transplant."
Many people have heard of skin graft surgery.
But this type of surgery isn’t something you undergo whenever you want.
Because any human transplant has to consider a specific medical condition, which is rejection.
Rejection is a protective mechanism of the human body.
The simplest example is when you eat something you shouldn’t, you will involuntarily vomit it out, and once it’s out, you’re fine.
That’s a general manifestation of rejection.
A deeper manifestation would be bone marrow transplantation, skeletal transplantation, or even skin transplantation.
Your immune system, as if it has its own consciousness, will reject someone else’s bones, skin, or bone marrow when it enters your body. You can’t use them immediately—instead, you face rejection from the immune system.
If the rejection is strong, the original body may die as a result.
This is also why such transplant surgeries generally have better outcomes with blood relatives, as the immune reaction is weaker.
Similarly, for burn victims like Wu Bin, if the burns are small in scope, such as facial burns,
doctors usually use skin from other parts of the body for grafting.
Such as skin from the buttocks.
But Wu Bin’s entire body is now engulfed without any intact skin, so the possibility of a transplant operation is definitely out of the question.
Hence, the only option left is self-healing.
After hearing the explanation from the knowledgeable person in the live broadcast room, netizens once again realized that Wu Bin’s chances of survival were likely very slim.
Although Wu Bin’s vital signs are currently stable, if he is unable to form scabs and grow new skin, he’s essentially lost the body’s first line of defense. The moment he steps out of the sterile ward, he will continuously suffer infections, inflammation, and suppuration.
The final outcome of that would be the collapse of his immune system, ultimately leading to death.
Therefore, it’s not hard to understand why Song Bing and the others are behaving as if they are coming to say their final goodbyes to Wu Bin.
Han Jiaoyan is crying the hardest.
For when Lu Yuan poured alcohol into the fire, Wu Bin was the one who immediately shielded her.
If not for Wu Bin’s quick reaction, Han Jiaoyan would have ended up just like Gao Bai.
It can be said that Han Jiaoyan’s ability to stand here in one piece is entirely due to Wu Bin’s actions.
Han Jiaoyan wants to hold Wu Bin’s hand, but she’s afraid of hurting him.
So Han Jiaoyan makes an emotional confession beside his hospital bed.
"Wu Bin, as long as you survive, I’m willing to take care of you for the rest of my life."
As soon as Han Jiaoyan said these words, Song Bing and the other two standing by were stunned, their eyes wide open.
Huh?
Could this also be dog food?
But, isn’t this too inconsiderate? Have you not even thought about our feelings?
Honestly speaking, the three of them had come to visit Wu Bin entirely out of gratitude.
Little did they know that after finding out they were going to see Wu Bin, both Han Jiaoyan and Xu Qian, the two beautiful school belles, also took the initiative to accompany them.
On the way there, Song Bing fantasized fervently.
He considered whether to casually invite the two to drink a milk tea or have a meal together after visiting Wu Bin.
After all, girls are most vulnerable at such times, and if they could seize the opportunity to win the girls over, wouldn’t their happy days be just around the corner?
It’s just a pity that despite all Song Bing’s calculations, he didn’t anticipate that Wu Bin, lying on the hospital bed, would outpace them all.
Song Bing said somewhat awkwardly, "Han, don’t say such things rashly in a moment of passion. Your parents would be heartbroken."
"The Dean Li said that Wu Bin has a robust physique, and he’s certain to pull through, but he will definitely be disfigured and might even be bedridden for life."
"You don’t need to sacrifice your bright future like this; I believe Wu Bin wouldn’t want to see you end up like this either."
Wu Bin looked at Song Bing with disdain.
Good boy, keep acting, just keep acting.
How can I not see right through your little schemes?
We’re all men here, who can fool who?
Song Bing felt he had made his point very clear, but instead, Han Jiaoyan became even more resolute:
"My life was saved by Wu Bin, so as long as he can pull through, I’m willing to serve him for a lifetime. No one can stop me!"
Song Bing: …
