"Excuse me, Young Master. I’ll be removing your clothes now," Meixiu said to him once she was beside the bed.


    "Go ahead," Yuan said.


    Meixiu swallowed nervously and reached for Yuan’s pajamas with trembling hands.


    Although Yu Rou had specifically told her to not touch Yuan unless absolutely necessary, she also told her to assist Doctor Wang if he requested help, which conflicted with each other and ced Meixiu in a difficult spot.


    A few momentster, Meixiu stripped Yuan until he was stark naked.


    "Uhh..."


    When Doctor Wang saw this, he spoke in an awkward voice, "You didn’t need to remove his underwear..."


    "Ah! I am so sorry, Young Master! I wasn’t thinking properly just now!" Meixiu eximed in a startled voice after realizing her mistake, and she quickly went to put Yuan’s underwear back on his body, but s, she’d unintentionally touched something soft while fixing his underwear due to her panicked and hasty movements.


    ’T-The Young Lady is going to kill me if she finds out that I’d soiled the Young Master’s body with my hands...!’ Meixiu cried inwardly after she realized what she’d done.


    "Haha..." Yuan suddenlyughed, and he said, "You’ve always been clumsy, Meixiu. Don’t worry about it too much."


    "B-But the Young Lady..."


    "I won’t say anything if you won’t," Yuan said with a smile on his face.


    "..." Meixiu was speechless. Is she really going to keep this a secret from Yu Rou?


    "I-I understand, Young Master... Thank you... and sorry..." Meixiu bowed to him despite the fact that Yuan wouldn’t be able to see it.


    Doctor Wang shook his head when he saw this, but this wasn’t any of his business, so he acted as though it had never happened.

    Sometimeter, Doctor Wang approached the bed with the equipment by his side.


    However, Doctor Wang’s eyes widened with shock when he saw Yuan’s body.


    "Y-Y-Young Master! What happened to your body?!" Doctor Wang eximed in a shocked voice.


    "Huh? Did something happen to my body?" Yuan’s eyebrows quickly furrowed into a worried face.


    "N-No... It’s just that...pared tost week, your body is much bulkier and clearly has more muscles in general, almost like you’ve been working out." Doctor Wang spoke in a dumbfounded voice, as this is a situation that he has never encountered before.


    After all, how does a cripple who cannot move anything below his neck suddenly obtain muscles when all he does isy around in the bed all day?


    Meixiu couldn’t help but nce at Yuan’s body out of curiosity, and sure enough, there were some defined areas on his body— something she didn’t notice before because she was too nervous.


    "I... have no idea..." Yuan said despite having a clue as to what might have caused this, and he continued, "Maybe it’s because I have been eating three bowls of soup instead of just one every meal?"


    "Uhhh..." Doctor Wang was speechless. If drinking three bowls of soup per meal would give one muscle without doing anything, everybody in the world would drink soup every day for all three meals! If anything, Yuan should be getting fatter, yet one could easily tell at a nce that the muscles on Yuan’s body were real muscles and not fat!


    "Excuse me, Young Master, I am going to take a quick look at your body..." Doctor Wang began testing the toughness of Yuan’s muscles.


    ’Heavens! His muscles are even stronger than mine! Although I may be old, I shouldn’t lose to someone like the Young Master who hasn’t lifted a finger for many years!’ Doctor Wang cried inwardly after his quick assessment.


    ’This... is this a good thing?’ Doctor Wang pondered with a serious look on his face as he was unsure of how to diagnose Yuan’s situation.


    While it would normally be a good thing for someone to gain muscles, it might be troublesome for someone like Yuan who cannot use his body. What if his muscles continue to grow to the point where it might harm Yuan’s body instead?


    Sometimeter, Doctor Wang decided to scan Yuan’s body before he decided on anything.


    Doctor Wang then ced four pieces of equipment that resembledrge bracelets on Yuan’s body, one on each limb.


    Afterward, Doctor Wang ced a dozen wired sensors all over Yuan’s body and connected it to the monitor beside the bed.


    "I am going to scan your body now, Young Master." Doctor Wang said as he pressed a button on the monitor.


    A few momentster, the equipment began glowing a neon green color, and the wired sensors also began trembling slightly while glowing as well.


    After waiting for a few minutes, Doctor Wang could see an x-ray of Yuan’s body on the monitor.


    "W-What is this?" Doctor Wang mumbled in a dazed voice when he saw the results.


    Doctor Wang then rubbed his eyes for a few seconds before looking at the monitor again, and sure enough, he was not dreaming and he could see Yuan’s bones glowing a subtle but golden color.


    ’Is this a glitch in the system?’ Doctor Wang immediately came to this conclusion as it was the only logical one he could think of. ’Well, this equipment is not as powerful or urate as the ones in the hospital, so something like this can happen from time to time...’


    ’But I’ll do it again just in case.’


    Doctor Wang proceeded to restart the monitor before scanning Yuan’s body again.


    A few minutester, the same results came back but with even more rity.


    ’What the heck? Why does it look like there are golden symbols etched onto the Young Master’s bones?’ Doctor Wang was truly baffled speechless this time, as he could not find a logical exnation for this phenomenon other than it being a weird glitch in the software. After all, there was simply no way there could be golden symbols engraved onto Yuan’s bones, as that would require surgery, something Yuan clearly hasn’t had since ever.


    "Is everything okay?" Yuan asked him sometimeter.


    "Y-Yes... your bones seem to be okay," Doctor Wang hastily said, treating the golden symbols as a bug in the system.
