Novel Bin Chapter 168 - Success
Chapter 168: Success
Xi Cheng slowly released the arms of the two boys beside him. His body subconsciously wanted to shake, but he felt the support from his legs and waist and did not collapse as weakly as before.
Excitement that was hard to ignore welled up in Xi Cheng’s heart. He completely released his grip on Si Huan and Bi Ying. Without their support, he continued to stand steadily on the ground.
Then, Xi Cheng tried to move his feet again. At first, he was very careful, only moving his left foot a few centimeters forward. Then, he raised his right foot again, and this time, his stride was a little bigger.
Slowly, Xi Cheng started to get used to the feeling of walking without holding onto anything. He walked more and more smoothly. Although there was a clear gap between him and a normal person, this was a wonderful experience that he had not had in many years.
Although Xi Cheng could feel a similar soreness and weakness he felt during rehabilitation in his waist and legs, he thought that this was normal and did not take it to heart.
Xi Cheng was so excited that his face turned red. “I can walk! I can really walk!”
Xi Cheng clenched his fists excitedly and swung them. However, he almost fell as a result of this. Si Huan quickly held onto Xi Cheng to steady him.
Huo Tian handed a metal cane to him and said, like a doctor talking seriously to a patient, “Don’t be agitated. You’re still getting accustomed to the exoskeleton equipment and can’t perform movements that are too intense. After a day or two, you’ll probably be able to get used to the feeling of wearing the exoskeleton equipment. At that time, you’ll be able to move around more freely.”
Xi Cheng did not take the cane. He waved his hand and said, “I don’t need to use these things anymore. Although I can’t walk steadily, I’ll definitely be able to get used to this pair of new legs after some practice!”
Huo Tian wore a serious expression on her face and said in a deep voice, “This cane is necessary. After I spoke to your personal doctor, I realized that through training, it’s very likely for you to regain your ability to move independently. If you rely completely on the exoskeleton equipment, you will lose your legs forever.”
She straightened her face that still had baby fat, looking unexpectedly dignified. “It’s precisely because of this consideration that I didn’t design the exoskeleton equipment too perfectly. When you move, you can still feel the pressure on your waist and legs, making you unable to move and run agilely. Therefore, you’ll need a cane or a walking stick to assist. But don’t worry, as your condition improves, we’ll also make adjustments to the exoskeleton equipment. After you completely recover, you won’t need these things anymore.”
When Xi Cheng heard Huo Tian’s words, he became even more agitated. He stopped trying to overdo things and took the metal cane.
With the support of the metal cane, Xi Cheng’s standing and walking became even more stable. He had probably not felt this way in a long time. He walked around the room several times until there was a layer of sweat on his forehead.
Thereafter, Huo Tian and Bi Ying made a few more adjustments to a few areas that were not too comfortable when Xi Cheng moved, sat, or lay down. Their mission was then considered to have wrapped up successfully.
Xi Cheng happily paid the rest of the bill and also let his medical equipment company reach an agreement to work with their newly established technology company. Both parties reached an agreement on the purchase of medical rehabilitation apparatus.
After Huo Tian, Si Huan, and Bi Ying left the Xi Family’s old manor, all of them simultaneously revealed excited expressions.
Although they had been busier recently, they had created a huge amount of wealth for the company.
After the product launch, they had already signed many orders one after another, but those orders were all small cases. The profits they could get from this order that Xi Cheng had given them were comparable to the sum of all the previous orders!
