Chapter 149 doesn't look like someone whose hands have been crippled!
Chapter 149 doesn't look like someone whose hands have been crippled!
Xia's mother repeated it again.
Lin Fengzhi clearly did not believe it.
"Let's clean up a bit and then come out for a meal," Huangfu Qian said, looking at Xia's father. "May I stay here for a meal?"
Mr. Xia nodded nervously and urged Mrs. Xia, "Honey, hurry up and cook!"
"Yes, yes, yes, okay, okay, right away," Xia's mother repeated nervously.
Jiang Wang Huangfuqian is staying at their house for dinner, so they'd better prepare carefully!
Xia's mother rushed out of the room.
"Could you please help him clean up?" Huangfu Qian asked Brother Xia.
Brother Xia nodded: "Okay!"
Half an hour later—
The weakened Lin Fengzhi was helped out of the room by Brother Xia.
The meal was set out in the main room.
The main room is spacious, with room to set up the table and plenty of room to spare.
"Please take a seat," Xia's father gestured to Huangfu Qian.
Huangfu Qian shook his head: "When in Rome, do as the host says."
He sat directly in the second seat.
Xia's father felt a little embarrassed, but when he thought about how Huangfu Qian and Wei Zhishu had been polite and courteous when they came before, making sure not to put the hosts in a difficult position, he felt relieved.
The table was set with six dishes and a soup, all of which were Xia's mother's specialties.
"This is stir-fried with wild rabbit that we smoked ourselves. It smells amazing, and we also added a secret seasoning recipe passed down from our ancestors," Xia's mother explained nervously.
"This is..."
“No need to be so polite. I’m not wearing official robes right now. I’m just Huangfu Qian. In public, I’m Young Master Huang,” Huangfu Qian waved his hand.
Xia's mother promptly shut up.
Xia Mo sat down next to her mother, and while her family wasn't paying attention to her, she gave Huangfu Qian a playful, half-smiling look.
Huangfu Qian was talking to Xia's father, seemingly oblivious to Xia Mo's glance.
"Why are you alone this time? Isn't that unsafe?" Xia's father asked anxiously.
“When I’m away from home, I’m the youngest son of the Huang family business,” Huangfu Qian said. “No one will pay attention to me.”
"Ha ha……"
Xia's father gave a dry laugh.
With such an air of authority, how could anyone not notice him? King Jiang is truly a joker.
Let's begin our meal.
Xia's mother took meticulous care of Lin Fengzhi for three days, treating him like a child.
Now that Lin Fengzhi was about to eat, Xia's mother picked up the serving chopsticks and was about to help feed him.
Huangfu Qian looked at Xia's father and politely raised the corners of his mouth.
Xia's father immediately understood and stopped Xia's mother.
“Let him eat by himself. He’s a grown man; we can’t treat him like a three-year-old!” said Xia’s father.
As Xia's mother was feeding Lin Fengzhi with a spoon, she heard Xia's father's words and her hand, holding the spoon, froze in mid-air.
"This……"
“Let him eat by himself,” Xia Mo added.
Xia's mother gave Lin Fengzhi an encouraging look and put down the spoon.
Lin Fengzhi felt wronged and upset, but he was stubborn and didn't want to lose, so he reached out with difficulty, picked up the spoon, and fed himself to the spoon.
Lin Fengzhi's hands were trembling, and it was very difficult for him to lift them. Feeding him a mouthful of food felt like he had just gone through a tough fight.
Xia Mo rolled her eyes at the sight.
Lin Fengzhi felt there was something wrong with his hand, and did that subconsciously.
Xia Mo's eyes darted around, and she deliberately took out a knife and stabbed at Lin Fengzhi's hand.
Lin Feng instinctively pulled his hand back to avoid the knife Xia Mo was stabbing at him.
"Nah!"
"Little sister!"
"..."
Xia's father and the others gasped, extremely nervous.
Xia Mo immediately puffed out her cheeks and looked at her father and the others, deliberately saying in a wronged voice, "I just felt uncomfortable seeing him pretending to be clumsy and needing Mom to serve him!"
"Yes, yes, it was Mother's oversight. Mother won't do it again. Let him eat by himself," Xia's mother immediately comforted Xia Mo.
As for Xia Mo scaring Lin Fengzhi with a knife, they felt a little guilty, but still prioritized Xia Mo's feelings.
Lin Fengzhi: "..." He remained silent for a moment.
So that's what kind of personality the girl he likes is!
Lin Fengzhi wasn't angry that Xia Mo had deliberately scared him with a knife. He sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I'm a cripple, yet I dared to steal your mother's care for you. It was my fault."
Xia Mo: "..." She held back for a moment, but couldn't help rolling her eyes.
She was certain that Lin Fengzhi wasn't intentionally being manipulative, but his words, though seemingly innocent, sounded rather jarring to her.
Lin Fengzhi was completely unaware that his words were ambiguous, and he kept apologizing to Xia Mo.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault..."
Xia Mo snorted and turned her head away, saying, "Mom, did you see that? When I stabbed him with a knife just now, his hand reacted so quickly! It's already healed!"
Lin Fengzhi hadn't noticed it before, but now, after Xia Mo pointed it out, he stared wide-eyed in astonishment and looked down sharply at his own hands.
"I...this..."
Lin Fengzhi thought about how nimble and skillful his hands had been just now; they didn't look like they had been crippled!
"I told you the Bone-Regenerating Pill my master gave me is really amazing, right?" Xia Mo proudly raised her chin, took out another bottle, and shook it.
An excited Lin Fengzhi checked the condition of his hands again, deliberately making a series of small movements. He was shocked to find that he could do those small movements, but they didn't look like his hands had been broken at all!
"This...I...this..."
Lin Fengzhi was so excited that he was incoherent and unable to form complete sentences.
"Didn't I tell you long ago that your hand was already healed? Now do you believe me?" Xia's mother was genuinely happy for Lin Fengzhi.
Lin Fengzhi reached out and picked up his chopsticks again, taking a bite of food.
"Ha...haha...hahaha..."
Lin Fengzhi suddenly burst into laughter, and as he laughed, tears welled up in his eyes and burst forth.
"Waaah..."
Lin Fengzhi burst into tears, releasing all the pent-up emotions and pain he had been suppressing over the past few days.
"Good boy, you did nothing wrong," Xia's mother comforted him softly, patting Lin Fengzhi's back gently to help him catch his breath. She was afraid that Lin Fengzhi would cry and then faint.
What Xia's mother feared happened the very next moment.
Lin Fengzhi's body was too weak to withstand such intense emotions. After crying for a while, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Brother Xia, who was sitting next to Lin Fengzhi, reacted quickly and scooped Lin Fengzhi up as he fell backward.
Let him just fall down like that...
Lin Fengzhi's hands and feet have been healed, but his brain will probably be damaged beyond repair.
"Pinch the philtrum," Xia Mo reminded him.
Brother Xia did as instructed.
Lin Feng felt a sharp pain in his philtrum, woke up, opened his eyes, and his eyes welled up with tears again.
"thank you all!"
Lin Fengzhi knelt down, kneeling before Xia's father and the others.
"That medicine must be very precious, right? It's such a waste to use it on me, thank you..."
Lin Fengzhi was able to speak in complete sentences now, but his words were incoherent, sometimes saying self-deprecatingly, "It's such a waste," and sometimes saying "Thank you all," it was really...
