"Good evening, viewers, and welcome to the evening broadcast of Binhai Satellite TV! We continue our coverage of the gas canister explosion incident that occurred at Baihui Square, at the People's Little Kitchen this evening!"

The elegantly dressed and beautiful female host said solemnly: "According to the latest news from the hospital, the incident has already resulted in five deaths, and six others are still in critical condition..."

"Miaomiao, did you hear? It's a very, very big incident!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao grabbed Lin Miao's hand, speaking excitedly: "The sound of the explosion was so loud, it left my head buzzing. When I came to my senses, I found that A-Jie (Lin Jie) had already run over to rescue people."

"Of course I didn't want to be left behind, so when I ran over, A-Jie had me put my hand into the wound on that person's butt and pinch his blood vessel!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao animatedly recounted: "I kept pinching that person's blood vessel, kept pinching it, until the ambulance arrived and took both me and that person to the hospital."

She proudly boasted: "The doctor said if it weren't for me pinching the vessel, that person could have bled to death. It was a femoral artery, you know, it could bleed out all the blood in a person's body in a minute. I guess I saved that person's life!"

"Miaomiao, was I awesome today?"

Lin Miao raised her little face proudly and shouted to Lin Jie on the other side of her, "My brother was awesome!"

"Xiaoxiao, you only did what my brother instructed you to do!"

"You always stand by your brother!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry and pinched Lin Miao's little ear.

In the evening, after Lin Jie rescued the girl, he also treated another injured person nearby. Three or four ambulances arrived on the scene, along with quite a few doctors.

Seeing that he was no longer needed at the scene, he quietly retreated into the surrounding crowd.

When he contacted Zhang Xiaoxiao again, he learned that she had gotten on the ambulance with the injured person, so Lin Jie went home first.

Upon returning home, Lin Jie found the internet and television filled with continuous coverage of the accident. Many scenes and mobile phone videos had been uploaded by onlookers online.

Lin Jie even found himself in some pictures and videos, although the distance was a bit far, and the video footage was shaky, making it hard to see clearly.

Listening to the host's report on the numbers, Lin Jie, who had experienced the scene, felt particularly touched.

Accidents always come unexpectedly, and one fresh life after another may turn into a cold corpse in the next moment.

Lin Jie gripped Lin Miao's hand tightly and softly said, "You must protect yourself!"

Lin Miao smiled sweetly and leaned on Lin Jie, nodding strongly, saying, "Yes, I will, and brother, you must take care of yourself too!"

The next morning, Lin Jie, as usual, went to the Qingniao Fitness Center to work out.

After changing into his swimwear and draping a towel over himself, he walked out of the changing room, only to find Coach Zhou Xuehui waiting at the door.

Seeing her eyes scanning him invasively, Lin Jie wrapped the towel tighter and asked displeased: "Coach Zhou, you're waiting here to see me, is there something you need?"

Zhou Xuehui restrained her gaze a little and smiled: "Your body has recovered quickly. The first time I saw you, you were skin and bones, but now your ribs can no longer be seen."

"After you finish swimming, I'll teach you a new set of exercises with a larger intensity, more suitable for your current physical condition!"

Lin Jie nodded and walked away.

As the two were about to pass each other, Zhou Xuehui spoke again: "Lin Jie, have you studied medicine? You seemed to be treating the wounded in yesterday evening's accident!"

"Coach Zhou was also present at the scene?"

Without waiting for her to answer, Lin Jie explained: "I haven't been in good health before, so I've been interested in medicine and self-taught a little. At that moment, in the heat of the moment, I rushed up to help. It wasn't really medical treatment, just what I could manage!"

"I wasn't at the scene, but someone with keen eyes spotted your figure in the news reports afterward and informed me!"

Zhou Xuehui lightly patted Lin Jie on the shoulder, praising: "You did well. Among so many people at the square, at first, it was only you who rushed up to help unhesitatingly!"

"Just for that, I have to take good care of your body!"

Lin Jie realized that Zhou Xuehui's "care" wasn't just talk.

After spending over three hours learning the new exercise routine, the exhausted Lin Jie, having showered, was ready to leave when he received a gift from Zhou Xuehui—six small packets sealed in bags, containing brewed herbal medicine.

Zhou Xuehui told him it was a reward for his good deeds, a token from the fitness center!

According to her introduction, it was configured based on a family recipe for body nourishment, brewed with dozens of precious herbs, including tiger bone, ginseng, and cordyceps.

Just this little packet alone is worth around a thousand dollars, and even then, it's hard to come by.

When grandpa was still alive, he often brewed nourishing herbal medicine for Lin Jie, the bitter taste lingering in Lin Jie's memory!

Looking at the ink-black medicinal soup, Lin Jie, slightly daunted, could not refuse Zhou Xuehui's kindness and had to accept it.

Zhou Xuehui said with a smile: "Lin Jie, your condition is from poor development since childhood, weak body and insufficient vitality. This medicine is potent and can replenish your vitality!"

"Although this medicine is a strong tonic, although it contains tiger bone and ginseng, it's blended with numerous herbs to temper its power. It's a relatively mild supplement, very suitable for someone weak like you to consume!"

Hearing this, Lin Jie was intrigued and asked: "Coach Zhou, can women drink this medicine?"

"To be honest, I have a twin sister. Her condition is quite similar to mine, growing up in constant worry and being somewhat frail!"

"This medicine is not gender-specific, so if your sister's condition is as you described, she should be well-suited to consume it. However, these six packets make up a complete treatment... oh well!"

With slight resignation, Zhou Xuehui replied: "Since I've started doing a good deed, I'll give you another treatment in a few days!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Lin Jie said, embarrassed: "It really is too costly for you... I... I can pay for it!"

Zhou Xuehui glanced down at Lin Jie from above, dissatisfied, and said: "Do you think I'm short of that couple of thousand dollars? Since I said I'd give it to you, I will!"

Feeling awkward, Lin Jie kept saying thank you while returning a silly smile.

After returning home, Lin Jie mixed a packet of medicine with warm water, then picked up the bowl, pinched his nose, and drank it down in several gulps.

After drinking it, Lin Jie carefully noticed a warm flow moving through his body, slowly spreading to his limbs and bones.

"Hey, I feel an increase in the heart's vitality, though it's very subtle, it has indeed increased!"

Shen Lanruo's voice was filled with curiosity and joy, "Herbal medicine has been passed down domestically for thousands of years, and it indeed has its reason for existence, truly marvelous!"

Lin Jie whispered: "According to Coach Zhou, the effects of this packet last for three days!"

"Lanruo sis, pay more attention to your heart's changes these two days. If this medicine has no side effects, I'll let Miaomiao start drinking it too!"

"Yes, I'm also very interested in the efficacy of this medicine!" Shen Lanruo expressed enthusiastically!

In the evening, while Lin Jie was making dinner, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and saw it was Li Ting calling. Upon answering, he smiled and said: "Li Ting, your weight loss plan..."

"Lin Jie, you've been sued!"

On the call, Li Ting directly interrupted Lin Jie's words, hastily saying: "You've been taken to court, the family of one of the victims from yesterday's accident has sued you!"
