Fang Han escorted Huo Zhixing back to Xingyuan, where a doctor quickly arrived to treat his inflammation, apply medicine, and bandage him.
Jiang Can was right there, watching intently.
The internet was buzzing; in just one afternoon and one evening, the Huo family dominated the trending topics.
Such things as "the third young master of the Huo family was impersonated to sign documents" and "the eldest young master of the Huo family ruthlessly murdered his own brother"...
One bombshell after another was dropped, leaving viewers overwhelmed and nearly causing the internet to crash.
However, Jiang Can had no time to think about these things. Her mind was filled with Huo Zhixing's injuries and the doctor's instructions on how often to take what kind of medicine. She remembered them all.
When the two returned to Xiyuan in the evening, she carefully supported her husband.
As soon as Huo Zhixing stepped through the door with his left foot, she bent down to get him slippers.
This left Huo Zhixing's right foot frozen in mid-air for a long time.
"Honey, you don't need to do that!" he laughed. "It's my hand that's injured, not my foot!"
Jiang Can gave him a sweet smile; she enjoyed taking care of him.
However, despite saying that, Huo Zhixing was secretly delighted. If he had known that a wound could receive this level of treatment, he would have willingly offered his arm to Huo Zhiyan for a cut!
Jiang Can tidied everything up, helped him to bed, carefully covered him with the blanket, and then cooked a late-night snack and brought it up to feed him.
Huo Zhixing wanted to make sure she didn't have to be so busy.
But halfway through her work, Jiang Can suddenly remembered something and turned around to grab her phone.
The video call connected, and behind the parents on the other end was a rainforest. One of them was wearing a cardigan, and the other was wearing a sarong, both traditional Southeast Asian clothing.
The two were strolling hand in hand when they received Jiang Can's call, and they were overjoyed.
"Can Can, how are you?" Yin Wenxi looked at her with concern. "You seem to have lost a little weight..."
"What?" Yin Ruohong suddenly leaned over, staring intently at the screen.
Jiang Can couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Dad, Mom, I'm fine, don't worry! I haven't lost weight, it's probably just the camera and the lighting!"
The elderly couple simultaneously said "Oh," and then simultaneously zoomed out, still looking at her carefully.
Jiang Can chuckled, looking at the rainforest behind them and then at the night sky over there. The tiny lights fluttering around them must be fireflies.
"Dad, there's something I want to ask you," she said directly. "Zhixing injured his arm. Do you have any way to help him heal faster?"
"Injured?" Yin Ruohong rolled her eyes, a sly look appearing on her round face. "How did he get injured? I heard there was a boxing match over there the other day, did he get beaten up?"
"Dad..." Jiang Can smiled awkwardly.
Huo Zhixing heard everything clearly from the side.
Taking advantage of the fact that the camera wasn't on him, he rolled his eyes at Yin Ruohong.
“It wasn’t an injury from the game,” Jiang Can explained simply, “it was a cut from glass… As for how it happened, that’s a long story. Anyway, just tell me how to take care of him, or… if the Yin family has any good medicine, please send me some quickly!”
Yin Ruohong pouted, looking quite unhappy.
Huo Zhixing only suffered minor injuries, why is his daughter so worried? He's a grown man with thick skin, a cut is nothing, why are you so concerned!
Of course, the Yin family has this miraculous medicine that works quickly; once applied, it takes effect within forty-eight hours.
Ha, but he just won't give it to me!
"Dad, Dad?" Jiang Can saw him rolling his eyes and pursing his lips in front of the camera, which was very strange. She didn't know what was wrong with him, so she called him several times. "Dad, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, no...it's nothing!" Yin Ruohong snapped out of her daze and chuckled. "Can Can, if you want his wound to heal quickly, you have to clean it for him often!"
"Huh?" Jiang Can was taken aback. Wasn't it said that the wound shouldn't get wet?
Huo Zhixing leaned against the bed, his face darkening. He was amused by Yin Ruohong's anger.
“Of course,” Yin Ruohong cleared his throat, “you definitely can’t give him ordinary water.”
"oh……"
"You need to use hydrogen peroxide!"
Jiang Can listened attentively and wrote down the words "hydrogen peroxide" on a piece of paper.
“Um… Can Can,” Yin Ruohong continued, “hydrogen peroxide is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, it’s especially effective for cleaning wounds! You need to use 100% concentration for him, understand? Heh, make sure to disinfect it properly, the wound will heal faster if it’s cleaned properly! The concentration must be 100%, remember? Ouch…”
Before he could finish speaking, Yoon Moon-hee struck him on the head.
Huo Zhixing leaned closer to the screen to take a look.
Yin Ruohong held her head in her hands, puffing out her cheeks in a wronged manner. She glanced at Yin Wenxi beside her and whispered a reminder, "This is a video call... a video call! Our daughter is watching!"
"You're afraid your daughter will see it?" Yin Wenxi said, both amused and exasperated. "Cancan, don't listen to him! Hydrogen peroxide can kill bacteria, but the concentration can't be that high! If you really use it on Zhixing as he says, my son-in-law will be in excruciating pain. It's even worse than alcohol!"
"Shh..." Yin Ruohong's face turned red with anxiety.
"Get out of my way!" Yin Wenxi pushed him away. "Can Can, the Yin family has this kind of medicine. I'll have someone send it to you right away... Hmm, it'll be sent by the Yin family's dedicated cargo plane. It'll arrive tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Jiang Can smiled broadly, "Thank you, Mom!"
Huo Zhixing smiled too. In crucial moments, he still had to rely on his mother-in-law!
“As for Dad,” Jiang Can said, feigning anger, “Dad, you’re so mean! Grandpa was right, when you get cocky, you’re just like a pufferfish!”
"You, you little brat..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Can hung up the video call and burst into laughter.
Huo Zhixing gently put his arm around her shoulder with his uninjured hand, letting her lean against him.
"Honey, when are Mom and Dad coming back?"
"It should be soon," Jiang Can thought for a moment. "But who knows, maybe they won't come back and will send us to Southeast Asia instead?"
"Hmm, I think that's a good idea!" Huo Zhixing smiled. "I'll take you on a vacation to Southeast Asia!"
Jiang Can playfully touched his face, "During your vacation, why don't you experience what it's like to be a live-in son-in-law?"
Huo Zhixing's brow twitched, and with a wicked grin, he pinned her down.
But before they could do anything, the doorbell rang.
Jiang Can smiled and pushed him away. Huo Zhixing let out a heavy breath, and his eyes immediately changed.
"Who!" he shouted impatiently.
The door was flung open with a whoosh, only to find Ye Chen and Shen Xiao standing outside at the same time.
It's really not easy for these two very busy people to get together.
"Third Brother, does it still hurt?" Ye Chen looked at Shen Xiao. "I specially brought Dr. Shen here so that he could examine your wound again."
“Also,” Shen Xiao lowered his voice and chuckled, “I made a major discovery with Huo Zhiyan! As soon as the report came out, I brought it over to show you.”
