Zhong Wan's life philosophy: Being poor is scarier than ghosts! A middle-aged leftover woman who has been unemployed for a year and is about to live on the streets, Zhong Wan gritted her teeth ...
Chapter 172 What's weakened today is...
The loss of smell did not seem to have a significant impact on Zhong Wan.
After all, she couldn't think of anything for the time being.
She neither goes out, nor socializes, and lives in Grandpa Zhou's courtyard, so there are no safety hazards whatsoever.
The only two things she noticed that had changed were that she could no longer smell her husband Mr. Lin's scent and the aroma of the food.
This isn't a problem for her either.
Only her husband, Mr. Lin, was still somewhat worried ┑( ̄Д ̄)┍.
After all, she can find enjoyment in food even without a sense of taste, let alone without a sense of smell.
The punishment of diminished senses continued, but Zhong Wan felt it was more like a journey full of surprises and adventures, without experiencing anything terrifying.
Well, although it did have some impact on her life, with her husband Mr. Lin around, it really didn't have much of an impact.
In comparison, it seemed as if it was her husband, Mr. Lin, who was being punished.
I'm accepting her every day with a mix of anxiety and trepidation...
Emmm...a gift?!
Zhong Wan couldn't think of a way to describe this feeling for a moment.
Today is the third day she is facing punishment.
Waking up early in the morning, she excitedly observed the unusual sensations on her body, closing her eyes, sniffing, twitching her ears... until her hand touched Lin Yan'an...
That's when I realized which of my senses was being weakened today.
Today, it was her sense of touch. She raised her hand and patted Lin Yan'an's face, as if she were patting a piece of warm wood. Not only was her sense of touch dulled, but she also couldn't control the force of her touch.
Looking at Lin Yan'an, whom she had woken from his sleep, seeing his shocked expression, and then at his slightly flushed cheeks,
Zhong Wan felt a little guilty for a moment.
She really meant to give it a gentle pat (o′ェ`o).
She looked at Lin Yan'an innocently and blinked, "Um... would you believe me if I said I didn't mean it?"
The pain in her cheek continued; Lin Yan'an raised her hand to touch her face.
Looking at Zhong Wan's innocent expression, the dazed feeling from being woken up and the slight pain on her cheek instantly turned into a helpless smile.
He finally understood: the so-called system punishment was actually punishing him!
Lin Yan'an raised his hand and took her mischievous little hand in his, gently playing with it, and said in a helpless yet amused tone, "Believe it, why wouldn't you believe it?"
"So, what has weakened today is..."
"Touch, perhaps."
Zhong Wan looked down at the hand he was holding, but unfortunately the touch was dulled today, as if there was a layer between them. She took the opportunity to hold his big hand back: "It doesn't feel very smooth, like I'm wearing a thick glove."
Lin Yan'an understood: "It's okay, I'll still be your exclusive cheat code today. Shall we get up now?"
"OK."
Zhong Wan smiled and agreed, then stood up with Lin Yan'an's help.
As if afraid she might fall, Lin Yan'an stayed by her side at all times.
His tone was gentle and patient, as if he were taking care of a child.
But now, that little kid is Zhong Wan herself.
The loss of her sense of touch seems to have indeed brought some inconvenience to her life.
From the moment I started washing up, I couldn't control the force I used when washing my face, and my face quickly turned bright red.
Lin Yan'an was startled upon seeing this and quickly stopped her, taking over the task from her and washing her hands.
While she was brushing her teeth, he thoughtfully stood behind her, one arm around her waist and the other holding her hand, guiding her through the pressure of the brushing motion.
"Like this, yes, gently..."
He was teaching a child who was just beginning to learn, with extreme patience.
Standing in front of him, looking at the two of them in the mirror, Zhong Wan's smile never faded.
At that moment, she was incredibly grateful for her initial choice.
Some are even looking forward to the day he actually becomes a father.
Hehe, the capable should do more, anyway, she truly experienced his patience and gentleness as a father.
"What are you thinking about? Rinse your mouth."
"Uh-huh."
Lin Yan'an suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhong Wan's reverie.
She quickly and obediently lowered her head and rinsed her mouth with his hand.
She thought that this was pretty... somewhat useless.
Unexpectedly, things went awry during the meal.
She can't even use chopsticks properly anymore!
Under the shocked gazes of Grandpa Zhou and Uncle Zhao, Lin Yan'an calmly handed over the spoon: "Try this? Or should I feed you?"
"I can do this myself."
Zhong Wan quickly reached out and took the spoon, but as soon as she held it in her hand, without feeling anything different, she suddenly lost control of her grip.
The spoon fell into the soup with a "clatter," and the soup splashed up instantly.
Zhong Wan was startled and instinctively leaned back.
Then ┓(′`)┏,
The force was too great, and the person, along with the chair, instantly fell to the ground.
"Zhong Wan!"
The three people at the table were startled and quickly stood up.
Lin Yan'an quickly rushed to her side, picked her up with a worried expression, and asked, "Are you alright? Where did you fall?"
"Are you alright? Should I call Dr. Qian over to take a look?"
Grandpa Zhou even forgot to bring his cane, and walked over shakily with Zhao Jun's help.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Zhong Wan quickly shook her head, nestled in Lin Yan'an's arms, her face showing no pain but rather an embarrassed expression of both laughter and tears: "Grandpa, Uncle Zhao, I'm fine, really, it doesn't hurt at all."
Although Grandpa Zhou and Zhao Jun were surprised, they had witnessed Zhong Wan's miraculous abilities firsthand.
Given Zhong Wan's frankness, the two were momentarily unsure whether to call the doctor, and both turned to look at Lin Yan'an.
He looked down and carefully examined Zhong Wan's body. After checking her over, he carefully observed her complexion. Seeing that she didn't seem to be enduring pain, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhong Wan smiled helplessly, raised her hand to pat his shoulder, but suddenly remembered the force she had used and quickly withdrew her hand: "Don't worry, I really don't feel any pain."
She was absolutely telling the truth. With her sense of touch so diminished, the fall she just experienced felt like she had landed on cotton; she couldn't feel any pain at all.
She was more startled by the sudden loss of balance.
"Are you really okay? Wanwan, don't push yourself too hard!"
Grandpa Zhou also came over, looking at Zhong Wan with concern.
Even Zhao Jun looked at Zhong Wan with eyes full of worry.
So, to prove that she was really alright, Zhong Wan struggled to stand up from Lin Yan'an's arms, chuckled, and twirled around in front of them. She even hopped around a couple of times on the ground, her usually easy movements appearing unusually clumsy at this moment.
It's because she needs to exert extra force to accurately sense the ground's reaction force.
"Grandpa, Uncle Zhao, look, I'm really alright."
