Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 409 - 59: The Two Leaders of Baichuan City

He woke up.

The warm sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on half of his face.

There was no stench of the abyss in the air, nor the unique mechanical scent of Pyramid.

Especially the ceiling he saw upon opening his eyes, it definitely wasn’t the kind of structure one would find in a mining area.

Song Que was somewhat dazed.

Then he heard a woman’s exclamation:

"Ah! You’re awake?!"

Song Que’s head was still a bit fuzzy. He looked at the woman, who was very familiar. He quickly remembered her as one of Tang Xian’s team members, named Qiao Shanshan.

Qiao Shanshan and Ling Yi were both doctors, so the task of caring for Song Que had fallen on the two girls. Given that Song Que was a man, Yuan Wu also helped out.

"Wait a moment! I’ll let Ling Yi inform Tang Xian! I’ll give you a checkup right away!"

Seeing Song Que awaken, Qiao Shanshan’s face was filled with disbelief.

Song Que nodded, his head still feeling heavy.

Having been unconscious for too long, his brain wasn’t accustomed to the sudden state of clarity.

Qiao Shanshan quickly arrived at Song Que’s side with a medical kit.

"Where is this?" Song Que asked, rubbing his temples.

"Baichuan City, in room 704 of building A at the Sheng Tang Residential Complex. It’s also where you live. These past days it’s been Yuan Wu, Ling Yi, and me taking turns looking after you. You were seriously injured before. Do you remember?" Qiao Shanshan said.

Song Que thought for a moment, and slowly began to recall certain things.

His last memory was falling into a deep pool, thinking he would die.

But since he hadn’t died, he guessed that Tang Xian must have performed a miracle in the end.

With a gentle smile, he nodded and said,

"I must have been saved by Tang."

"Yes. You have a really tough life. When you were brought in, you were almost all wounds, and not a single bone was intact. Even so, you survived.

It’s as if your body was crushed, only held together forcibly by your skin, yet you slowly recovered. Honestly, your vital signs were always stable, but waking up so soon is truly a miracle."

"I’m really sorry for causing you trouble. These days must have been very difficult for you; I will remember Miss Qiao’s kindness."

"Eh? You actually remember my name." Qiao Shanshan looked surprised.

"Tang once entrusted me with protecting all of you, and besides, charming girls always leave a lasting impression."

Song Que revealed a bright smile that lacked his former simple-mindedness.

This smile made Qiao Shanshan’s face turn slightly red.

Ordinarily, when treating patients, regardless of how attractive their appearance or secondary sexual characteristics might be to women, Qiao Shanshan could easily ignore these factors.

But Song Que indisputably possessed a unique personal charm.

She cleared her throat, unsure of what to say.

"By the way, how long have I been unconscious?"

"That... about a month, I guess? Many inexplicable phenomena have occurred in your case, at least beyond the reach of my current medical knowledge."

"You’ve taken a lot of trouble." Song Que did not expect to have been unconscious for so long.

How are the people in the sanctuary doing, and what about the fortress itself? Having disappeared for a month, his father must be very anxious.

Feeling somewhat troubled, Song Que smiled with a slight frown. A month was enough time for a lot of things to accumulate.

He tried to get out of bed, his muscles, having not moved for a long time, ached sharply with the sudden change in muscle memory.

Qiao Shanshan was curious—Song Que, who hadn’t had an inch of his body intact, was somehow exhibiting a rate of recovery in the Human World comparable to that of the Pyramid World. There were too many unexplainable things in this.

She supported Song Que, asking,

"I heard from Ling Yi that you held off a flood dragon by yourself."

"Ling Yi... is that the Ling Yi from the abyss?"

"Yes. Rest assured, Tang Xian has brought them to Baichuan City, and they are no longer slaves."

With Qiao Shanshan’s assistance, Song Que’s steps, though slow, were relatively stable.

Song Que said with a happy laugh,

"I did indeed hold off the flood dragon, but I couldn’t last until the end. I thought I’d be crippled. It seems that fortune has been kind to me."

Looking at Song Que’s handsome profile, Qiao Shanshan grew even more confused.

What exactly did Miss Qiao see in Tang Xian?

The man before her was nearly perfect by any standard for a mate.

To think Miss Qiao would reject such prospects for Tang Xian could only mean...

Perhaps Miss Qiao and Tang Xian were indeed people with peculiar thoughts. Thinking this way, they were truly a good match.

After a few steps, Song Que no longer needed Qiao Shanshan’s support.

His muscles were rapidly adapting.

His overall motor skills were also improving dramatically to optimum levels.

Qiao Shanshan watched this incredible transition with amazement.

Even a healthy person wouldn’t recover so quickly after lying in bed for a month.

"It’s really strange... Baichuan City People’s Hospital has a lot of medical equipment. The models are not as complete as those in Pyramid, but they can diagnose many conditions. As soon as the power is restored, I definitely want to take you for a checkup. Logically, you shouldn’t have this level of strength right now."

Qiao Shanshan thought about it and felt something was off, then she corrected herself,

"I’m not saying you should be paralyzed! I’m just saying you’re not like normal people."

Song Que smiled again and said,

"Miss Qiao, don’t be nervous, I understand what you mean, and I am willing to cooperate with your treatment. It’s just that I’ve been unconscious all this time, and I would like to go out for a walk now."

"Oh, you can, but you really need to be careful. Your body might develop some other issues at any time. Ah! I’m not cursing you!"
