Chapter 126 Losing and Sticking a Note
Huskies are already silly to begin with, and after the note was stuck on them, they looked even sillier.
Yunxia stretched, got out of bed to wash up, and then sat down next to the boy, leaning in to look at the cards in his hand.
"Tsk tsk, you'd be amazing if you could lose this hand!"
Five minutes later, the poor thing happily received two stickers, spread them out behind him, and said in a show of despair, "I'm not playing anymore, it's no fun, I always lose."
Indeed, neither Li Chen nor Aunt Liu had any slips of paper on their faces. Li Chen patted the boy on the shoulder and said with a sense of loyalty, "Hey, big brother, I'll play for you. If you win a round, I'll tear two slips of paper off your face, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, the husky's eyes suddenly lit up, its intelligent gaze impossible to hide. "Okay, little butterfly, let's switch places."
When Yunxia entered the game, the situation changed dramatically. Even the Liu family mother and son, working together, couldn't beat her. Before long, most of the paper strips on the husky's face were gone, and its vision was finally no longer blocked.
"Xiaxia, where did you learn to play cards?"
Having spent many years in the card game industry, Liu Yunjuan was heartbroken to lose to a young girl time and time again.
"Oh, I learned it from Jiang Chao when I had nothing else to do."
In a sense, Yunxia wasn't lying. The rules of playing cards differ in different regions, but to win, every card played requires a strict plan.
She knew all of this in her previous life, but she had asked someone for advice on how to play it a few times.
"So that's how it is. Being the first in age is really impressive; even your card skills are so amazing."
After playing for nearly an hour, all the paper notes on the husky's face had been torn off, but Li Chen and Aunt Liu had quite a few stuck on their faces. This was the scene that Wu Lifang saw when she pushed the door open and came in.
"Hey, Sister Liu, what are you playing? You've lost so badly. Tear this up, I brought you some food."
"Hey, I've never played cards before, Xiaxia is really good at it. It smells so good, it smells like braised pork." Liu Yunjuan said as she tore the paper strip.
"Yes, I also cooked a few side dishes. Come on over. Sigh, I should check the almanac next time I go out. I can't believe I ran into poisonous mushrooms while eating out. I'm so unlucky."
"Aunt Wu, no one can predict disasters in advance. Fortunately, the poisoning was not severe this time and there were no casualties. Oh, the braised pork is so delicious, soft, tender and savory. You should try it."
If they continued on this topic, Aunt Wu would be extremely worried. Yunxia quickly changed the subject by talking about food.
Aunt Wu's cooking skills were as good as ever, and everyone who tasted it praised it highly.
After dinner, seeing that it was almost dark outside, Aunt Wu wanted her godson to go home first, while she would stay and keep watch.
“Godmother, I can take the night watch. I can do heavy work, and I can carry Little Butterfly around the hospital without any problem. I have a sweet tongue and can tell jokes, which can also keep you entertained. You have been busy at the store all day, so you should go home and rest first. I promise you, I will bring her back to you tomorrow in perfect condition.”
Receiving a meaningful glance, Yunxia quickly chimed in, "Yes, An'an and Jiang Chao can't be separated from their parents. Big brother can't control someone either. Aunt Wu, you should go back first. I'll go home tomorrow when I feel better."
At that moment, she deeply regretted lying about feeling dizzy. If this hadn't happened, she would be at home lying down eating watermelon right now.
"Sister Wu, Xiaxia and Achen are in the same ward. With me here to take care of them, aren't you worried?"
Wu Lifang knew that Liu Yunjuan was always serious and meticulous in her work. Upon hearing this, she nodded, gave some instructions, and then left with the thermos.
"Hey, I didn't register, I can leave on my own!" The girl's eyes lit up as she looked out the window and said excitedly.
"Oh right, I'll find a doctor to help you register right away!"
Upon hearing this, Yunxia quickly stopped her, "Aunt Liu, no need, I'll just stay one night, and leave tomorrow when my head isn't dizzy anymore."
"Okay, that works too. I'll go rent two bunk beds!"
At night, Feng Jingling and Liu Yunjuan slept in a high-end four-poster bed, while Yunxia and Li Chen slept in a single hospital bed. The next day, the sun rose, and the soft sunlight shone on people's faces, making them feel warm and cozy.
Having had a good night's sleep, Yunxia felt refreshed and could easily run several kilometers. She noticed that Li Chen was still asleep, so she gestured with her fingers, greeted Aunt Liu, and led Feng Jingling, crouching down and pressing against the wall, inching her way out.
"Hey, whose child are you? I've never seen you before," a parent who got up early to fetch water asked, puzzled.
"Hey, I had enteritis and stayed in the hospital for several days. I just came out for a stroll while there are fewer people in the morning. Auntie, you go about your business and don't worry about us."
The woman glanced at the two of them suspiciously, then, remembering her sleeping son, she stopped asking and walked away with the kettle.
With the crisis averted, Yunxia patted her chest, waved, and led the husky to continue their stealthy advance.
After leaving the hospital, Feng Jingling looked at the girl, who was panting heavily, with a puzzled expression. "You didn't steal anything, you didn't rob anything, you were just leaving the hospital, why are you acting like a thief?"
“You don’t understand. You didn’t see what happened yesterday. If the parents knew I was Yun Xia, they would have a hard time leaving the hospital all day.”
Although I don't know the reason, I can't go wrong with her. "Well, we're already out, but... coming out like a thief feels really exciting!"
Yunxia rolled her eyes at him and said helplessly, "Exciting? It should be more like being scared, afraid of making the slightest noise and attracting attention. Let's hurry home, we still have to accompany Jiang Chao to the rehabilitation center later."
"Sigh, I'll go with him. I haven't trained in a long time, and I'm starting to miss it."
If he were allowed to go, Jiang Chao would become a mere supporting character, and the rehabilitation therapist would almost become the husky's personal trainer. Yun Xia would certainly not allow this situation to happen again.
"No, I'll go instead. I need to ask the rehabilitation therapist something. It's been over two months, so I need to switch from nourishing soups to a lighter diet."
"Well... okay!" The husky with its ears drooping looked utterly pitiful.
Back home, Jiang Chao was about to leave, clearly acting on his own initiative and planning to go alone. Yun Xia seized the opportunity to scold him for his minor mistake, just to get revenge for yesterday.
"That's enough. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. Hurry up and go back to your room to pack up and come with me to the clinic."
The rehabilitation center has a strict order: even if a patient can run and jump, someone must accompany them when they come for training.
While the girl went back to her room to tidy up, someone's little scheme came to mind again, "Ah Chao, I'll go with you!"
"If they're incredibly bored, signing up for private lessons and hiring a professional personal trainer shouldn't be a difficult thing for the Feng family, right?"
"Oh, practicing alone is so boring! I want to practice with you!"
Jiang Chao shivered at the cloying tone and quickly took a few steps back, his eyes practically overflowing with disgust.
The boy clutched his chest, his eyes filled with sorrow, as if hurt by his words. He stumbled backward until... he stepped on someone's foot.
Yun Xia pouted, poked the boy's lower back, and said resentfully, "Big brother, are you doing this on purpose, or on purpose?"
Ouch, Little Butterfly's tone is so creepy. The boy turned his head, smiled obsequiously, and said, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I wasn't watching where I was going. Does it hurt? Brother will rub it for you... Ah!"
The boy was dragged a meter by the back of his collar and said with a look of utter despair, "Ah Chao, I'm a high school student, can't you give me some face?"
