"What's wrong? Don't cry, daughter. Old Xia is Old Xia. Dad will answer whatever you call me!"
When Xia Jianguo saw that his daughter looked like she was about to faint, he hurriedly tried to get up, but he lost his balance and fell off the bed!
The sound of the person hitting the ground brought Xia Wan back to her senses: "Dad... don't move, I'll do it!"
There was no time to think about anything else now; he quickly carried the person to the bed: "Dad, don't get agitated, I'm fine! Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"
"Dad's fine, Xiaowan, don't worry!" Xia Jianguo smiled reassuringly at her and stretched his arms to show that he was alright.
Xia Wan breathed a sigh of relief, helped the man sit down, and then tentatively asked, "Dad, do you feel like you've forgotten something?"
Could it be that the brat beat her dad so badly he lost his memory? But why did he forget her the only one?
Xia Jianguo shook his head, somewhat puzzled: "I haven't forgotten anything!"
What could he possibly forget? He just got a head injury, it's not like he was beaten senseless.
"Okay, Dad, are you hungry? I'll go out and buy you some food." Xia Wan forced a smile, trying to appear normal.
"Dad's not hungry, I just woke up and I'm not hungry!" Xia Jianguo shook his head.
He noticed that something was off with his daughter, but since she didn't want to talk about it, he didn't press her further. Perhaps she hadn't adjusted to life in the village yet!
"Okay, then I'll go get a kettle of water!" Xia Wan lowered her eyes, not daring to meet its loving and gentle gaze, and hurriedly left with the kettle.
She knew she was overthinking things. She knew in her heart that the person in front of her was her father, but she just couldn't prove it!
She's like an obsessive-compulsive now, needing to see evidence before she can act; otherwise, she always feels there's something between her and her father in the hospital room!
Xia Wan took a deep breath and sat on the steps, feeling somewhat agitated.
"What's wrong? This little girl's brows are furrowed like an old lady's!"
Li Chengjun came to the hospital to visit a patient, but when he came out, he saw this little girl sitting on the steps, sighing and complaining. He wondered what had made her so worried!
Xia Wan looked up and saw him, her face showing surprise: "What, it's you again?"
"Tell me what's all this sighing about?" Li Chengjun looked at her teasingly. "Didn't you get your fill of beating people up at noon?"
Xia Wan ignored the man who genuinely defined himself as a PUA scumbag and sat there in a daze.
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. You'll understand things better as you go along! As long as you don't get stuck in your own head and follow your heart, there's nothing you can't figure out! Why do you have such heavy thoughts at such a young age?" Seeing that she was ignoring him, Li Chengjun started muttering to himself.
Xia Wan looked up at him, her expression unreadable.
"Follow your heart? The more you live, the clearer things become? What the hell?"
He's definitely a master of PUA. His words are hard to understand, but they make a lot of sense!
Damn it, this guy is toxic!
Xia Wan glared at him, got up, dusted herself off, and prepared to go back to her ward!
"Hey, hey, hey... wait a minute, little girl, tell me, how did you know I work at the steel factory?" Li Chengjun asked, following behind her.
Xia Wan shook her fist: "If you follow me again, I'll beat you up!"
"You?" Li Chengjun's eyes were full of mockery, clearly not believing that she had that ability.
Xia Wan kicked him directly, but he dodged it!
"You're actually quite skilled!" Xia Wan narrowed her eyes and became serious.
The two fought for a full half hour, one attacking and the other dodging.
Li Chengjun's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He hadn't expected such a petite girl to be so skilled!
He had previously won first place in the military region's martial arts competition. Although he hadn't launched an attack on the little girl yet, it was still impressive that she had managed to hold on until now without even losing her breathing!
Li Chengjun deliberately reacted slowly, and Xia Wan kicked him in the stomach.
"Hmm..."
He was kicked and broke out in a cold sweat from the pain; the little girl was surprisingly strong!
Xia Wan snorted coldly, raising her chin, showing no remorse for hitting someone!
She had warned him beforehand; who told this guy to be so foolish as to follow her?
"Little system? Asleep? Where are my points?"
[The person the host attacked has accumulated merit, therefore no points will be awarded!]
Xia Wan exclaimed in surprise, "What?"
What merit can Lee Sung-jun possibly have? Can you gain merit by PUA (Pick Up, Exploit, or Manipulate) others?
Is there any vulnerability in this system?
Li Chengjun gritted his teeth and stood up: "No... why did you go so far? I was just asking how you knew me, why are you so agitated?"
Xia Wan glanced at him sideways: "Is this little thing worth following me around for? Aren't you afraid I'll sue you for indecent assault?"
Aren't people these days supposed to be very reserved? Aren't they supposed to blush for ages when talking to someone of the opposite sex?
What is this thing in front of me? Has it mutated?
Li Chengjun curled his lip: "As long as you achieve your goals and make yourself happy without doing anything wrong, that's enough. Why bother with so many other things? It's exhausting."
Xia Wan was taken aback, then murmured softly, "To satisfy one's own needs and make oneself happy, regardless of anything else?"
A moment later, she suddenly looked up, smiling brightly: "That's right! Alright, then let me make you happy too! I went to the Huaihua Brigade as an educated youth and heard about you!"
Xia Wan left immediately after speaking, completely ignoring the people who were still standing there in a daze!
Anyway, the book says that the male protagonist's family is from Huaihua Brigade. She, as an educated youth, heard about it from the villagers, so it's not a problem, right?
Li Chengjun only realized after she had walked quite a distance that he had been staring at a little girl's smile in a daze!
Those eyes are fucking bright!
She's so skinny, but she looks pretty when she smiles!
She said she was an educated youth from Huaihua Brigade? Who in Huaihua Brigade knows her?
Eldest uncle? Second uncle?
They haven't seen each other for so many years, why are they bringing him up again? And how did they know he worked at a steel factory?
...
On her way back to the ward in the summer evening, she stopped by the cafeteria and bought a bowl of wontons.
Back in the ward, she was able to get along with her father naturally again. Regardless of whether Lao Xia had memories of his past life, she had already accepted him as her biological father!
"Dad, are you hungry? Come and eat some wontons!" Xia Wan poured the wontons from the kettle into the lunchbox.
I only took the water bottle with me when I went out, so this is all I can pack them in. Luckily, none of the wontons broke; I can just rinse them later.
"Hey, good!" Xia Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was in a better mood. He was indeed a little hungry. "By the way, Xiaowan, where's your brother? Did that kid go off on another transport mission? Leaving you alone in the hospital? That brat's asking for trouble!"
He hadn't left the house before, so he naturally didn't know that Xia Wan had come to Huaihua Brigade as an educated youth. He still thought that Xia Tao had brought his sister back.
Now that he couldn't see his son, he assumed that his son had no feelings for his sister who had just been brought back, which was why he left Xia Wan alone in the hospital to take care of him!
"No, I... my brother hasn't come back yet. We'll try to contact him after you're discharged from the hospital, Dad!"
I don't know what Xia Tao thinks of his younger sister. Anyway, she doesn't remember this person and doesn't have a good impression of this brother who failed to protect their father!
