Chapter 169
"No need." He lowered his head and put the hood of his hoodie on his head, like a turtle shrinking into its shell, avoiding everyone.

Whether it was Fu Ying's death or campus life, the shadow left on this man was almost impossible to remove.

Jiang Nuannuan fed Guo Nuan chicken nuggets. He played with the toy kitten in the set meal and said happily in Zhai Lin's arms: "I almost forgot the taste of KFC. It's so delicious. Mom should feed one to dad too." He didn’t eat a bite.”

Chicken popcorn dipped in ketchup rubbed against Zhai Lin's lips and stuck to the corners of his lips. He turned his head instantly, and the brim of his hat pushed his blond hair down, half covering his gray eyes.

He leaned back, "What are you doing?"

"My son asked you to eat." Jiang Nuannuan held up her hands for a long time. Seeing that he didn't respond, her normal voice had a hint of coquettishness for no reason, "Eat, my hands are sore."

Zhai Lin still opened his mouth, and a small piece of chicken popcorn was pushed into his mouth by his fingertips. His pale pink nails rubbed his lips, and his fingertips wiped away the ketchup that accidentally rubbed on the side.

Very nice.

Jiang Nuannuan smiled with satisfaction.

People passing by were secretly envious when they saw this scene.

"This family is too sweet. The parents even feed each other."

"This man is so handsome, help! He looks good enough for his debut."

The citizens in Zhai Lin's arms looked proud and raised their heads and asked loudly: "Dad, is the chicken popcorn that mom feeds delicious?"

His body started to move mechanically like clockwork. He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. He replied stiffly, "It's not delicious."

System 66: "500 million has been received from Alipay, and Zhai Lin's favorability is 11%."

"No, it's very delicious." The national child asked Jiang Nuannuan to feed another one, and ate it with gusto.

"Eat quickly." Zhai Lin grabbed his hair, not daring to look at the eyes of the people next to him.

Feeding him food was uncomfortable, too intimate.

Until the family had eaten and left KFC, Zhai Lin never noticed the stares that would make him feel angry and frightened.

Knowing that the young master of the Zhai family was to be received today, the doctor appointed in the hospital had already been waiting to conduct a comprehensive examination on the child they brought.

While waiting, Zhai Lin saw all kinds of people who had their limbs amputated due to illness or car accidents at this hospital that specializes in custom-made prostheses. Some collapsed in pain and cried in the reconstruction room, and some had no money to customize prostheses. I hope the doctor can save some materials. Crying and begging.

In his life, all treatments after amputation were one-on-one, which added more unhealthy emotions to his already desperate mind. Among all people, he was the only one who was different, and they would all laugh at him. Any stump of a limb would bully him.

Just as he mustered up the courage to return to school, when the security guard and his family found him, his body was already soaked in urine.

Zhai Lin became very silent. Jiang Nuannuan took off his hat, ran his fingers through his messy hair, and said very calmly: "There is actually no difference between you and them and me. Those people in KFC I envy us a happy family, those eyes are kind to me, but what you see in your eyes may be different, and it is difficult to overcome this obstacle, but it is not impossible."

"I have the same difficulties to overcome as you, but our difficulties are different."

"Don't regard illness as a hurdle that cannot be overcome. You just have an illness that can be cured, that's all."

Zhai Lin, who had his eyes lowered, didn't know how much he had heard. Jiang Nuannuan also nodded and said no more.

They kept struggling until 9 o'clock in the evening before they delivered the child to their doorstep. The family didn't get a single call all day. It was cold in the small rural house and they had already turned off the lights and went to bed.

Zhai Lin held the sleeping child in his arms, and Jiang Nuannuan pushed the wheelchair and knocked on the door. Both of them had cold expressions on their faces.The child's father was working overtime and didn't come back, and the mother was nursing the baby in bed. Only the old man who couldn't sleep was nagging at his grandson, with a look of impatience on his face.

It's hard to imagine how the rest of his life would have gone if he hadn't met this kid in the game city and decided to give him a pair of legs on the spur of the moment.

Jiang Nuannuan wrote down the time for the next prosthesis removal and reconstruction on a piece of paper, handed it to the old man, and then took Zhai Lin home.

After they were sent back to the Zhai family's old house, Zhai Heng stood waiting on the porch, his tall figure standing against the cold wind outside.

When he saw the car appearing in the surveillance system, he went downstairs and came out.

Zhai Lin was rarely silent and well-behaved. When he passed by his brother, he just nodded and went upstairs to his room.

Jiang Nuannuan walked over and saw him waiting at the door wrapped in a blanket, and asked in surprise: "You're still up so late?"

"I'm not sleeping well, so I'll just wait for you." He took off the small square blanket he was wearing, wrapped it around her shoulders and draped it over her body, "It's cold in the mountains, go inside and rest."

Wrapping a blanket with his personal scent around you is no different from a hug.

Jiang Nuannuan shook her head. She was distracted from driving for a long time. The cold wind made her head hurt, and her words became less emotional. "I won't stay here tonight. I still have things to do tomorrow."

"What's the matter? I can send you down the mountain early." Zhai Heng answered quickly, then thought that he was too eager and his desire to stay under the same roof with her would be noticed, and his tone quickly softened, "In the evening The road is not safe at night. You are tired from driving a long distance today, so I will ask the driver to take you there."

Jiang Nuannuan looked at the pair of dark eyes that were facing away from the room light. The gaze was probably too direct. Zhai Heng fluttered his eyelashes and lowered them, "I'll ask the driver to drive your car. You can also leave with the blanket on." .”

"It's not that I don't like staying here." She said at this time: "It's just that I have delayed buying a studio for a long time. I have to go around tomorrow and finalize the matter as soon as possible, and I don't like to get up early. It’s a long way to the city even if you’re in a hurry.”

After hearing her explanation, Zhai Heng was stunned for a moment, "That's it."

His broad shoulders suddenly relaxed, and the smile on his face became much more relaxed, "Then wait."

He went to the kitchen to get the nutritious soup that he had cooked a long time ago, put it in a thermos, came out and handed it to her, "Go back and eat before going to bed tonight."

Jiang Nuannuan did not refuse this time and took it, "What is it?"

"Just a little soup."

She was relieved that it was not a valuable thing. Before leaving, she told him: "You should take good care of yourself. Don't go out to cool down so late. It's very cold."

Zhai Heng nodded with a smile and watched her leave.

She had no idea that as long as she was here, his heart would be more energetic, and he would feel that the days of being tortured by illness were not sad and that everything was fine.

The driver drove Jiang Nuannuan's Audi car to Bishui Bay. He parked the car and was about to leave.

"How do you go back?"

"Don't worry, Miss. I'll sleep in a hotel nearby for one night and just take a taxi back tomorrow."

Jiang Nuannuan nodded reassuringly and went home wrapped in a small square blanket. When she finished washing and lay on the bed tired and didn't want to move, she remembered the thermos jar that she had almost forgotten.

She dragged her tired body over to open it, and a burst of fragrance hit her face.
