Chapter 34: Chapter 34: You Little Rascal, No Running Away Chapter 34: Chapter 34: You Little Rascal, No Running Away Bai Dan had come out of the kitchen intending to call his granddaughter for dinner, but when he saw that shameless scoundrel actually raising his hand to hit the child, was there any need for hesitation?
He directly took off his shoe and threw it, hitting the bullseye, a skill honed by practice.
Bai Da rubbed his nose with some guilt, just now he was angry because Bai Zhi wouldn’t stop talking, only thinking about eating, it was too excessive.
“Dad, listen to me, I did it because…”
Bai Dan immediately took a whip and chased after him, “I don’t need to hear you speak, you get out, I tell you, if you dare to hit my Xingxing, I can kill you directly, we’ll both die, and that’ll settle everything!”
Bai Dan then threw his shoe again, how cruel of a heart was that? The child had suffered so much, and yet he still thought about hitting the child.
Bai Dan just felt a fiery anger bubbling up incessantly in his heart.
It was the kind that couldn’t be suppressed, so he didn’t bother trying to suppress it, having developed the experience over many years.
Seeing Bai Dan was serious, Bai Da immediately ran for the door. If he didn’t run, his dad wouldn’t hesitate to raise a hand against him despite his age.
“You little bastard, don’t you run!”
Bai Dan set off in pursuit, while Bai Zhi’s lips curled into a slight smile and her gaze softened considerably. How fortunate she was to be treated like this by her grandfather.
She went to the kitchen to check, Grandpa had made potatoes stewed with green beans and fried eggplants some of which had burned, and there were also some roast duck leftovers from yesterday.
She originally wanted to cook, but Grandpa wouldn’t let her, saying she was tired and should rest. Bai Zhi didn’t force herself either, the aftereffects of vomiting made her not want to do anything.
When Bai Dan came back, Bai Zhi poured him a cup of tea.
“Grandpa must be thirsty, right? Drink some tea, let’s have dinner.”
Bai Dan was indeed tired from running and gulped down the tea immediately, which finally made him feel better.
“Why haven’t you eaten yet, child? You don’t need to wait for me, I just went to deal with your dad, always needing to be dealt with. Come on, let’s eat, and after that, you must take your medicine. You didn’t take it at noon, so you must in the afternoon.”
Upon hearing Bai Dan’s words, Bai Zhi pouted unhappily, the medicine was really bitter.
Bai Dan laughed immediately, this granddaughter of his, so good in every way, sensible and obedient, but she simply hated taking her bitter medicine.
“You must take it, how about I mix it with some sugar water? What did your mom buy for you?”
However, he wouldn’t indulge Xingxing in this, the medicine had to be taken, and he had to watch her take it.
Otherwise, she would secretly hide it in her pocket. Luckily, his keen eyes had caught it.
“Grandpa, can I not take it? Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa!”
“No!”
The voices of the grandfather and granddaughter, in the night, seemed especially loud and warm.
In the morning, Bai Dan took Bai Zhi to the hospital, and in the afternoon, the two returned home together. Over two days, Bai Zhi’s complexion visibly improved.
Bai Da and the other three had not come over again, perhaps out of fear of Grandpa?
The day of the market was also Bai Zhi’s last day for IV drips. Early in the morning, she steamed some Green Bean Cakes to let Grandpa sell them to that sister for the same price while she went to get her IV.
Bai Dan was a bit worried, but Bai Zhi wheedled and whined, even resorted to stubbornness.
Finally, after she demonstrated how she would call the nurse, Bai Dan set off to his stand with an anxious heart.
Yet, even so, Bai Zhi still felt uneasy, not for any particular reason, but just because she felt especially embarrassed to not be around, so her eyes stayed nervously on the IV, turning the drip up to the highest speed.
When the nurse came over and saw it, she got quite a fright and immediately turned it down to half. She still remembered the frightening look on this young lady when she had her skin test done on the first day, and now she was doing such a dangerous thing!
“Bai Zhi, you can’t rush like this; it’s very dangerous. You won’t be able to handle it.”
Others might not, but Bai Zhi certainly was prone to mishaps, like that time.
“It’s okay, sis, I’m in a hurry, and there’s nothing wrong with me.”
The previous incident was an accident. The original owner must have experienced something that led to a deep fear of injections and thus triggered a stress response in her body. She believed that someday she would figure it out.
Some memories might have been deliberately forgotten by the original owner, but as soon as she encountered related events, she would recall that fear and glimpse fleeting images.
It was just too quick, and she had not grasped it. Next time, as long as there was a next time, she would definitely remember. And she realized one thing: she had to become stronger; otherwise, she would be bullied like the original owner and end with regrets.
She had never been one to sit around and wait for her demise; she would definitely have to exercise every day from now on.
This body was as thin as a bamboo pole, truly a cause for worry.
Almost featherweight, a gust of wind might knock her over; perhaps her only advantage was having a bit of strength?
“No matter what urgent matters you have, you can’t joke about your health. Be good, it’ll be over soon. You came very early today; you should be done by ten at the latest. Be good, have you eaten?”
Bai Dan had also talked to the nurse; he was going to set up his stall and asked her to take care of Bai Zhi for a while, so that’s why she came to check every few minutes.
“I’ve eaten, thank you, sis.”
Bai Zhi obediently nodded, thinking this nurse sister was just too gentle. In her memory, they all used to shout with strong voices.
What’s what’s-his-name doing.
“Be good then, and I’ll come check on you in a while.”
The nurse sister left, and Bai Zhi sneakily thought of speeding up again. Suddenly, the nurse sister stepped back a few paces, pouting her lips in a visibly annoyed manner.
“I saw that, naughty girl.”
Caught in the act, little friend Bai Zhi shrunk down, quite embarrassed. Today she was wearing a short-sleeved suit bought by Ye Xiu, which made her look like a skinny bamboo pole, but still very white. Perhaps due to her constitution, no matter how much she sunbathed, she never tanned.
“Sis, I’m sorry.”
The nurse sister then nodded in satisfaction.
“I’ll be keeping an eye on you.”
Bai Zhi bashfully lowered her head, thinking it was all over now. She dared not make any more moves and decided it was best to just wait patiently.
Looking up at the ceiling, Bai Zhi felt a bit dazed. Grandpa, your granddaughter got caught, and it feels bitter inside.
After a few minutes, it felt like a long time had passed, and the nurse sister hadn’t come back. Bai Zhi’s eyes sparkled with mischief; did that mean she could…
Her hand reached toward her left hand…
“Bang”…
The door was opened again, and Bai Zhi immediately withdrew her hand, guiltily touching her ear, as if trying to conceal the sound with her hand. Her guilty demeanor was truly indescribable.
“Xingxing…”
Hearing Ye Xiu’s voice, Bai Zhi startled and looked toward the door, realizing it wasn’t the nurse sister.
Bai Zhi had a hundred “uh-ohs” inside her…
She could only give an awkward smile. As for calling out to someone, she was sorry but she currently didn’t have that function; she just couldn’t say it.
