I asked you to write a light novel, but you wrote about living?

Yu Wen's leg treatment has not yet officially begun.

The hospital has completed several examinations, and the condition of the nerve stumps, bones, and the degree of muscle atrophy have all been entered into the treatment system.

According to the doctor, although his condition is complicated, it is not entirely without the possibility of recovery.

However, before the formal surgery, it is necessary to use his own cells to culture a batch of materials for nerve repair and tissue reconstruction.

That can't be rushed.

Even with today's medical technology, we need to wait for the cells to grow stably and confirm that there will be no rejection or abnormal proliferation before we can proceed to the next step.

Yu Wen wasn't in a big hurry about this.

My legs have been numb for so many years, a few more days won't make a difference.

The doctor advised him to take care of his health as much as possible before treatment, so he obediently ate and took his medicine on time. Occasionally, Yu Yin would push him out the door to take a walk around the apartment area.

That afternoon, Yu Yin came home early from school.

After finishing her homework, she carefully packed away the textbooks and learning terminal she would need for the next day, then excitedly ran into the study to ask Yu Wen if he wanted to go for a walk.

Yu Wen had been staying at home all day and was feeling a bit stifled, so he agreed.

The brother and sister didn't go far; they just strolled slowly around the pedestrian area outside the apartment.

The weather regulation system in the central district kept the temperature very comfortable, and the green belts on both sides of the street were planted with a large number of plants that Yu Wen couldn't name.

The automated maintenance equipment is hidden deep within the flower bed, occasionally extending a small mechanical arm to trim away a withered yellow leaf.

Yu Yin pushed the wheelchair, still talking about things at school.

As the saying goes, today I had another argument with some classmates about the issue of choosing a college.

Some people felt certain they would get into Gryffindor, while others insisted that Slytherin was the best house because they had heard that many great wizards had come from there.

As for those "magic wands" made from old materials, they are no longer just available in their class.

Someone in the next class even used a mini projector to add light effects to the wooden stick, leaving a crooked bright line in the air when it was swung.

Yu Wen almost laughed when he heard this.

A story traveled from his living room to the school, where it was gradually expanded upon by a group of children according to their own ideas, becoming far more interesting than he had anticipated.

The two walked and talked until it got dark, at which point Yu Yin pushed him back.

The apartment complex is located some distance from the main road, and there is a separate gate and identification recognition equipment at the entrance.

Once a resident approaches, the system will automatically complete the verification process; however, visitors must obtain temporary authorization in advance.

As soon as Yu Yin pushed the wheelchair across the identification line, the lights at the entrance changed from light blue to green.

Just then, a hesitant voice came from behind.

"Teacher Yu?"

The voice was soft, and there was some hesitation.

Yu Yin paused in her footsteps.

Before Yu Wen could turn around, the voice rang out again, much more urgent than before.

"Are you Teacher Yu?"

This time, his voice trembled noticeably.

Yu Yin stopped her wheelchair and turned to look with Yu Wen.

A middle-aged woman was standing outside the gate of the residential compound.

She was not far from the gatekeeper, as if she had been lingering there for a long time.

His coat was faded from washing, and the hem and trouser legs were covered with a layer of dust that couldn't be wiped clean. His hair was a little messy from the wind, and his face showed the fatigue of not having rested for a long time.

The moment she saw Yu Wen turn around, she froze completely.

Those eyes, which had been somewhat cloudy, suddenly widened, as if they couldn't believe they had actually seen the person they were looking for.

Immediately afterwards, she walked quickly toward the entrance of the residential area.

"Teacher Yu..."

She had only taken two steps when her gaze suddenly passed over Yu Wen and landed on Yu Yin behind the wheelchair.

The woman suddenly stopped walking.

She stared blankly at Yu Yin, the excitement on her face seemingly transforming into a more complex emotion in an instant.

Her lips moved, but no sound came out.

Her right hand, hanging by her side, slowly rose, as if she subconsciously wanted to touch something, but she clenched her fingers and withdrew the movement halfway up her arm.

A layer of moisture quickly welled up in those grayish-white eyes.

Yu Yin looked somewhat bewildered by her gaze.

She didn't know this woman, but she could clearly sense that the other woman's gaze was not malicious.

But his gaze was so heavy, as if he were looking through her at someone he hadn't seen in a long time.

Yu Yin subconsciously moved closer to Yu Wen and asked in a low voice:

"Brother, do you know her?"

Yu Wen looked at the woman carefully for a few moments.

Not impressed at all.

This face does not exist in either the original owner's memories or among the people he has met since coming to this world.

The woman finally snapped out of her brief daze.

She strode toward the entrance again, her movements even more hurried than before.

Before she could even cross the gate, a security guard stepped forward and stopped her.

"Madam, please show your access permission."

The woman was forced to stop.

"I...I don't have permission."

She quickly explained:

"I'm here to see someone; I really have something very important to tell him."

"No outsiders may enter without the resident's authorization."

The security personnel spoke calmly, without any deliberate contempt or impatience because of her worn-out clothes.

But rules are rules.

Many corporate executives and important figures live here, and the gatekeepers wouldn't let people in just because of a few words of pleading.

The woman clearly understood this as well.

She didn't try to force her way in; instead, she turned her body to the side and tried to get past the security personnel to look at Yu Wen, who was not far away.

"I'm looking for Teacher Yu Huashi!"

Her voice suddenly rose a little.

"I need to see Teacher Yu Huashi. Please, I beg you, let me see him."

Upon hearing the name "Yu Huashi," several security personnel near the gate glanced at Yu Wen.

After Yu Wen moved here, the property management naturally knew his identity. However, since resident information is strictly protected, they could not proactively confirm with a stranger.

The security personnel still did not move aside.

"Please contact the resident first to verify their identity, and they can then send you a temporary pass."

"I can't get in touch with him."

The woman's voice was hoarse.

"The platform doesn't reply to my messages, and the company won't let me in. I searched for a long time before I realized that he might live here."

She spoke faster and faster, as if afraid that if she slowed down even a little, the person in front of her would disappear again.

"I'm not here to cause trouble, nor will I cause him any trouble."

"I just want to see him once."

Please, I beg you.

The excitement I felt when I saw Yu Wen just now has completely turned into pleading.

She clasped her hands together in front of her, but her left arm was noticeably stiff, and a slight mechanical grinding sound came from the joint when it turned.

Yu Wen looked at it for a moment and then said:

"Yinyin, let's go take a look."

Yu Yin nodded and pushed the wheelchair toward the gatekeeper.

Seeing this, the security personnel did not stop her, but remained standing between the woman and the entrance, maintaining the necessary vigilance.

As the distance closed, Yu Wencai finally saw what the woman looked like.

She has many obvious signs of prosthetic modifications.

The left eye is not a natural eyeball, but a very old-fashioned electronic prosthetic eye.

The bionic layer on the surface has worn down, the pupil constricts slightly when focusing, and tiny red malfunction lights flash occasionally at the edges.

The left arm, from the wrist all the way to the depths of the sleeve, was covered with a cheap alloy shell.

Several connection gaps were not completely closed, and the internal wiring was intermittently visible as the machine moved.

One of her legs also looked somewhat unnatural.

With each step, the knee joint is half a beat slower, and the sole of the shoe lands heavier than the other leg.

These inexpensive prosthetics are not uncommon in the downtown area.

People there don't have enough money for full treatment, so if a part of their body is damaged, the most common solution is to replace it with a set of second-hand parts that are barely usable.

They don't qualify as real medical devices.

It's just a tool to keep people working and living.

Yu Wen used to live in the Lower City District, so he was no stranger to this scene.

However, after arriving in the central district, he rarely saw such prosthetic bodies anymore.

Even if people here need organ or limb replacements, they will choose advanced bionic products that leave almost no trace.

Cheap clothes worn by women with obvious patchwork marks stand out conspicuously at the entrance of a clean and bright residential community.

When the woman saw Yu Wenzhen come out, her body trembled violently.

She seemed to be trying to calm herself down, taking a few deep breaths, but her shoulders were still shaking uncontrollably.

The old prosthetic eye kept adjusting its focus, and the red malfunction light flashed several times before it finally refocused on Yu Wen.

"Teacher Yu..."

She opened her mouth.

It seems that all the words I had prepared were forgotten after I actually met Yu Wen.

She just stood there, repeating it over and over again:

"finally found you."

"I've finally found you..."

By the end, tears were streaming down her tired face.

Yu Yin stood behind the wheelchair, her eyes filled with even deeper confusion.

Yu Wen couldn't understand it either.

This woman had clearly been looking for him for a long time, and even showed an unusually flustered demeanor when she saw Yu Yin.

But he had never actually seen her.

Yu Wen looked at the woman, his tone remaining polite.

"Hello there."

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
