Chapter 692 Extra - Why Ask That?

Fang Tong felt a sharp pain in her head. She braced herself against the cutting board to stay upright, waiting for wave after wave of pain to follow.

But no, it didn't happen.

This time, her head only seemed to hurt for a moment.

Then everything returned to calm.

Chen Ci noticed her unusual behavior, put down the knife, and stood aside: "Fang Tong, what's wrong?"

Fang Tong calmed himself down and shook his head: "It's nothing."

A complex look appeared in Chen Ci's eyes: "I'm sorry."

Fang Tong shook her head and walked a few steps away from the table: "Never mind, you do it, I'll go... I'll go sweep the yard."

"Okay," Chen Ci replied.

Watching Fang Tong walk away from the kitchen, Chen Ci began to regret his earlier actions.

It's a bit... harassing.

He raised his hand and patted his forehead, reminding himself while slicing the cucumber that he must be careful with his words and actions, and that he couldn't rush things!

...

After Fang Tong finished cleaning the yard and Chen Ci finished making breakfast, Uncle Ren stretched and went downstairs.

Today he wore a retro brown suit again, with dress pants, a shirt, and a stylish brown vest.

His hair was neatly combed, making him look like an English gentleman.

Fang Tong greeted him, "Uncle Ren, you always dress so handsomely!"

"That's right." Uncle Ren straightened the buttons on his vest: "Always maintain a high level of energy."

Chen Ci carried breakfast to the table one by one, adding a brief explanation: "Teacher has maintained this elegant lifestyle for decades. He's been like this ever since I met him."

Fang Tong washed her hands at the tap and returned to the dining table to sit down: "Uncle Ren, where did you buy these clothes? They're so cool."

Uncle Ren picked up his cup, took a sip of milk, and replied with a faint smile, "I didn't buy it; most of it I made myself."

Fang Tong looked surprised: "You made this yourself?"

"That's right." Uncle Ren said proudly, "Besides treating patients, I can also sew clothes. These little things are a piece of cake for a smart person like me!"

Fang Tong gave a thumbs up: "Great!"

She looked at Uncle Ren's clothes again and sincerely praised him, "You're so skillful!"

Uncle Ren was pleased: "That's right."

After Chen Ci put everything on the table, the three of them ate breakfast and talked.

There's no rush today, and the scenery is breathtaking. This fresh morning air puts me in a good mood.

"Uncle Ren, why did you decide to make your own clothes? Is it because it's inconvenient to go out and buy them?"

Uncle Ren paused slightly while cutting the steak, and said with a smile, "That's part of the reason, but mainly it looks better when I tailor it myself."

Fang Tong didn't think much of it and nodded: "Yes, he's really handsome!"

Although it was supposed to be a conversation between three people, Fang Tong and Uncle Ren actually did more talking, while Chen Ci was still caught up in his self-blame and remained unusually silent.

After breakfast, a villager came to see Uncle Ren for medical treatment, so Uncle Ren went to take care of things. Fang Tong and Chen Ci cleaned up the dishes together.

While washing the dishes, Chen Ci apologized again: "I'm really sorry about what happened earlier. I didn't mean to be so frivolous, but my behavior seemed..."

"It doesn't matter."

Fang Tong interrupted him, not avoiding his gaze, and asked after a pause, "Chen Ci, your behavior just now... was it similar to what you experienced when you were with Shu Tong?"

Chen Ci paused slightly: "Why do you ask that?"

Fang Tong didn't answer: "I asked you first."
