Chapter 67
This is what makes it more painful. "Third brother hit you specifically where it hurts, right?" Xia Ruoan said with concern.
As Xia Ruoan spoke, he applied medicine to the places that were hit, and even though they were hit, it was not very obvious in those places.
As she applied the medicine, she paid attention to Leng Zexi's reaction. When she saw Leng Zexi clenching his teeth, she understood everything.
It turned out that he was not wrong. The third brother really chose the painful part to beat Leng Zexi.
"You know all this." Leng Zexi was very surprised. He didn't expect that Xia Ruoan could find the injured part of his body so accurately.
Xia Ruoan applied the medicine carefully and looked at Leng Zexi's painful expression, feeling a surge of pity in her heart.
However, Xia Ruoan was too guilty to look up at Leng Zexi. She could only continue to wipe his wound silently and comfort herself, "It's just applying medicine, it's not an excessive thing..."
Xia Ruoan's voice gradually became lower, as if she was talking to herself. She felt that her behavior was a bit embarrassing, but she couldn't explain why she had such a special feeling for Leng Zexi.
Perhaps, this is just a simple sympathy and concern? Or is it something more complicated?
"Brother said that hitting these places hurts the most and will not leave any marks. Let us remember this. If there is any danger and we need to hit someone, hit these places." Xia Ruoan answered softly, his eyes flickering.
She recalled the time when her elder brother taught them how to protect themselves, and her heart was filled with emotion.
At that time, the eldest brother told them that if they encountered danger and needed to take action, they should choose some parts that would cause severe pain to the other party but would not easily leave obvious scars.
So, Xia Ruoan and his brothers learned and memorized these key positions together.
"I remember slowly. It took me a long time to memorize several positions. I even used my four brothers as models to find the positions. I beat my eldest brother for a week before I mastered the positions. I originally thought I would never need them." Xia Ruoan murmured in a low voice, with a trace of guilt on his face.
She recalled the hardships she had experienced when learning these skills and the interactions with her brothers. She never expected that she would have to use these skills to apply medicine to Leng Zexi today.
Seeing Leng Zexi's painful expression, Xia Ruoan felt sorry for him. She gently stroked Leng Zexi's wound, hoping to relieve his pain.
"Well... I apologize to you. Third brother was just concerned about me, so he used such heavy hands. I'm sorry." Xia Ruoan said apologetically.
Leng Zexi looked at her, his lips slightly raised: "Don't say that, I deserved this beating, but I don't regret it. Even if I was beaten a few times, I still earned such a beautiful wife."
When Xia Ruoan heard his words, she couldn't help feeling touched, but she was still a little embarrassed, so she lowered her head and shook it gently.
Leng Zexi smiled and continued to tease, "Mom and the others all said that your brother was too lenient."
When Xia Ruoan heard this, he raised his head and looked at him in surprise, "They all know that you were beaten by my third brother?" But it was true. The wound on his face was so obvious that it would be impossible to hide it.
Leng Zexi nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, but I don't mean to blame you. They are all embarrassed to call your family because of what I did to take advantage of someone in distress."
Xia Ruoan frowned, "You can't be blamed for all this."
After thinking for a moment, Leng Zexi asked, "By the way, An An, have you heard from your father about the situation at home? For example, about your grandparents." He wanted to know Xia Ruan's family's attitude towards their relationship.
Xia Ruoan shook her head, saying that she didn't know. Leng Zexi didn't know what her family meant, and whether An An's father would recognize the Xia family was unknown.
"No, when I was a child I only saw my grandparents, but not my grandparents. I asked, and my father said he passed away." Xia Ruoan answered truthfully.
"Is there any problem?" Xia Ruoan asked with some confusion.
Is there any difference in the father's identity? When Leng Zexi heard her say this, he knew that An An's father had not told her about her grandparents.
Since his father-in-law didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.
In any case, An An is already his wife, and even if she doesn't go back, no one dares to say anything about her.
As the wife of the heir of the Leng family, she would only be held in the palm of someone's hand. As for An An, her status as the young lady of the Xia family was just the icing on the cake for her, and without this status, it was actually no big deal.
Leng Jingshen glanced at the time and then called Xia Lin.
When Xia Lin saw the strange phone call, he didn't think too much about it. He thought it might be a call from a student's parent.
"Hello, I'm Xia Lin. Who are you?" Xia Lin's voice was gentle and kind, making people feel very comfortable.
Leng Jingshen and his wife couldn't believe that this was Xia Lin's voice. Was this still the Xia Lin they knew? The two looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Did I dial the wrong number?" Gu Yutong frowned and asked uncertainly.
"That's impossible. I called the number Zexi sent me. It's correct." Leng Jingshen shook his head, indicating that he did not get the number wrong.
"That's An An's father, Xia Lin, not the Xia Lin we know. They just have the same name?" Gu Yutong said suspiciously.
She looked carefully at the child in front of her, trying to find similarities between him and Xia Lin, but apart from the same name, there seemed to be no other clues.
Leng Jingshen disagreed. He said firmly: "Impossible, look for yourself, this Xia Lin looks the same as An An, there is absolutely no mistake." He pointed at An An in the photo with an affirmative expression on his face.
"Let me ask again." Leng Jingshen picked up the phone and prepared to call Xia Lin again. "Um... my name is Leng Jingshen, is that you? Xia Lin." Leng Jingshen tried his best to make his tone sound calm and friendly.
The other party was stunned for a moment, "It's me, why are you calling me, who gave you this number?"
Xia Lin didn't expect that it was his former brother who called. When he left the Xia family, he cut off contact with everyone around him. After all, his grandfather and uncle didn't want him anymore, so there was nothing to miss.
"It's really you. I couldn't believe it was you when I heard your voice just now. You have such a bad temper and are so careless. I can't believe you can become so gentle all of a sudden." Leng Jing said with a smile.
Xia Lin was not angry when he heard his teasing, "Why did you think of calling me?" He was in the wrong for leaving without saying goodbye.
