Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396

"Brother Tang Ming, you’re awake!"

Just then, Li Xiaoli walked into the room with a basin of water, exclaiming with delight, "Meng Meng sister, come quickly, Brother Tang Ming is awake!"

"Really? Let me see."

Liu Mengting’s excited voice rang out, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

A tired-looking Liu Mengting rushed into the room, overjoyed to see Tang Ming awake: "You’re finally awake!"

"Yes! You’ve been in a coma for seven days, we were really worried you wouldn’t wake up."

Li Xiaoli placed the basin on the bedside table, looking at Tang Ming with a hint of complaint.

"I’ve been unconscious for that long?"

Tang Ming was puzzled and then looked up at the drip, "Who gave me the injection? Did you let an outsider know about my injury?"

"You repeatedly warned us before; how could we dare let anyone know about your condition?"

Liu Mengting gave Tang Ming a sidelong glance, "It was Xiaoli and I who taught ourselves how to give you the injection."

"Yes, yes! I almost got pricked like a porcupine by Meng Meng sister learning to give injections to help you."

Li Xiaoli pitifully rolled up her sleeve, revealing armfuls of needle marks, badly swollen.

Tang Ming was again surprised, finding these two girls to be quite gutsy.

"Meng Meng sister also got pricked a lot, look."

Li Xiaoli laughed as she rolled up Liu Mengting’s sleeve, revealing her arm was also full of needle marks: "In the past week, Meng Meng sister and I have become like professional nurses taking care of you; it was exhausting."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing the two girls’ scarred arms, Tang Ming was deeply moved.

"It’s what we should do, besides, it’s good to learn more skills. Now at least Xiaoli and I can clean wounds and administer injections."

Liu Mengting covered her arm and looked at Tang Ming with concern: "How are you feeling?"

"Thanks to you two continuously feeding me glucose to maintain my body’s nutrient supply, I’m feeling much better now."

Tang Ming gratefully looked at the two girls and smiled, "Now that I’m awake, I can cultivate to heal myself, so you two won’t have to work so hard anymore."

"No worries, it’s what we should do. I’m just happy when Meng Meng sister and I can help Brother Tang Ming,"

Li Xiaoli said with a laugh.

Tang Ming nodded, understanding without words.

"Even though you’re awake, you should still rest well, but..."

Liu Mengting moved her lips, hesitating to speak.

Tang Ming was puzzled.

"Brother Tang Ming, you need to be mentally prepared."

Seeing Liu Mengting struggle with her words, Li Xiaoli bit her lip and nervously said, "You’re severely injured this time; your body has extensive burns and you’re disfigured."

Tang Ming opened his mouth, having long anticipated these things.

"Hey, why did you say it directly?"

Liu Mengting glared at Li Xiaoli and comforted, "Don’t worry, even if you’re disfigured, we won’t discriminate against you; we’ll take good care of you."

Tang Ming gave a bitter smile, then sat cross-legged, "Don’t worry, once my cultivation recovers, I’ll get full cosmetic surgery; as long as I recover, everything else is manageable."

"Yes, yes, waking up is the most important thing."

Liu Mengting nodded repeatedly, grateful that Tang Ming could accept this reality.

"You two can go now. I’ve regained some strength; with cultivation, my injuries will heal quickly."

Tang Ming instructed, closing his eyes to begin cultivating for healing.

Liu Mengting winked at Li Xiaoli, and the two left the bedroom.

"Disfigured? As long as I’m not dead, I can definitely recover."

Tang Ming gave a cold smile, recalling how Wu Xiaoyu had also been reduced to a miserable state before recovering.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli were unaware of Tang Ming’s capabilities. After leaving the bedroom, they went to the living room to chat.

"Oh, Brother Tang Ming may say he doesn’t mind, but he was so vain before; he must feel terrible inside being disfigured now,"

Li Xiaoli murmured worriedly, sitting on the sofa.

"Anyone would feel bad, this is disfigurement, and a full-body one at that."

Liu Mengting rolled her eyes and sighed, "But at least he’s awake, so we don’t have to worry too much anymore."

"Yes, yes, waking up is good,"

Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, taking out her phone to search, "Let me see which plastic surgery hospital is good. Once Brother Tang Ming is better, we can take him for surgery."

Liu Mengting frowned slightly.

"Yes! Brother Tang Ming isn’t short on money, so full-body surgery should be simple,"

Li Xiaoli laughed, expectantly saying, "I also plan to get double eyelid surgery during vacation to make myself look pretty. When I go to university, I’ll amaze everyone."

"You, you’re just being vain for yourself."

Liu Mengting glared at Li Xiaoli, then quickly leaned in, "Do you think I should get some fillers in my chin?"

"Hehe, you’re already perfect, but if I could reduce my chest a bit, it would be worth trying."

"You’re crazy! Everyone else is getting their chests bigger, why would you want to make yours smaller?"

After Tang Ming woke up, the two girls relaxed, no longer tense as before, and began to banter.

In the next half month, the students filling out college applications after the exam results were announced.

Mo Hongsheng became the top scorer in Tianjiao Middle School’s college entrance exams, and Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli did well too, but Tang Ming had no grades, leaving them worried.

"Disaster struck; Tang Ming didn’t take the college entrance exam."

One morning, Liu Mengting shouted from the couch, holding a tablet with a worried look.

"I couldn’t find any information on Brother Tang Ming either; he really didn’t take the exam. What are we going to do?"

Li Xiaoli hugged her phone nervously, "Our scores are enough for Imperial University, but without Tang Ming, we might have to go separate ways."

Liu Mengting glanced upstairs worriedly and shouted in frustration, "Tang Ming, you jerk, you missed the college entrance exam!"

"Stop yelling, considering Brother Tang Ming’s condition, it’s already lucky he’s alive, let alone worrying about exams,"

Li Xiaoli quickly pulled Liu Mengting back.

"No way, I have to confront him; what was he thinking?"

Liu Mengting tossed aside her laptop and stormed upstairs in a rage.

"Ah, what a tragedy!"

Li Xiaoli sighed and quickly followed Liu Mengting upstairs.
