Xie Yan listened to Gu Bin's rambling and sighing behind him, feeling speechless.
He actually only slightly injured his back, far less serious than Gu Bin described.
The reason I acted so seriously before was just to show the police officers, to teach that barbaric guy a lesson.
He shifted slightly, waved his hand helplessly, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Gu Bin, however, seemed not to have heard Xie Yan's words. He quickly reached out and pressed down on Xie Yan's hand, which was trying to move, and said with a serious expression, "Don't move!"
"Don't worry, with me here, I'll definitely be able to restore you to your original state."
"Don't be discouraged. If we cooperate with the treatment, we will definitely get better."
Xie Yan closed his eyes helplessly, inwardly lamenting: He had been talking for so long, but this guy hadn't listened to a single word!
He couldn't help but sigh heavily, and said with slight annoyance, "Can you shut up?"
Gu Bin froze for a moment, his eyes widening in disbelief: "? Brother, I've been so worried about you, and this is how you treat me!"
"Don't think that just because you're injured right now, I'll let you off the hook!"
"If you push me too far, I might hold a grudge!"
Xie Yan felt a headache coming on; he simply couldn't do anything about Gu Bin.
Left with no other choice, he turned to Zhang Linghui, who was comforting Tongtong, and said in a pleading tone, "Sister-in-law, please, do something about him so I can get some rest!"
Zhang Linghui had just managed to coax Tongtong to sleep when she heard Xie Yan's words. She gently put Tongtong down, stood up, walked over, and pulled Gu Bin back.
As Gu Bin was being pulled along, he explained to Zhang Linghui, "I'm just worried that Xie Yan might do something rash, so I'm trying to talk to him and comfort him."
Zhang Linghui looked speechless and said irritably, "The best advice you can give him is to keep quiet."
If you keep trying to comfort them, they'll become withdrawn!
Gu Bin turned around in shock, looking at Zhang Linghui as if he had heard something unbelievable: "Wife, what are you saying?"
Do you know how important the waist is to a man?
He leaned closer to Zhang Linghui, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "That's a man's dignity!"
Dignity!
How important!
Seeing that his wife still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, Gu Bin continued to explain, "Don't be fooled by Xie Yan's usual nonchalant attitude in the village. He just laughs when people say he's a kept man. He's a very proud person, and this is a huge blow to him. I'm worried he might do something rash."
"Haven't you noticed he's starting to withdraw into himself?"
Zhang Linghui rolled her eyes, wanting to retort, "Don't you know why he's withdrawn?"
But in the end, he held back.
After all, we're in public, so we should give the man some face. She took a deep breath and said patiently, "I understand, but Xie Yan needs to rest now. Just let him rest and don't bother him."
Seeing that Gu Bin hadn't come over, Xie Yan let out a long sigh and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.
The guy in the upper bunk above Xie Yan boarded at a later stop and didn't know about Xie Yan's situation. But after Gu Bin's series of "heartfelt" words of comfort, he finally understood why the guy below him had been lying down the whole time.
I couldn't help but exclaim: Oh, so it was a back injury!
She looked at Xie Yan with great pity. Sigh!
What a pitiful person, suffering such a tragedy at such a young age. If he's not married yet, it will be very difficult for him to find a wife in the future!
Soon, when the guy in the upper bunk went down to get water, he couldn't help but talk to his friend about the thank-you banquet.
The news spread like wildfire on the train, reaching everyone who had just boarded and was unaware of it.
Through everyone's embellishment and modification, Xie Yan became "famous" in a rather bizarre way without his knowledge.
In the end, the news spread that Xie Yan was paralyzed on one side.
Of course, the good news is that many of them don't know Xie Yan's name and just refer to him as "that man".
After a day of rest on the train, and with the help of the liniment he brought with him, his back felt much better.
However, the most serious problem was his buttocks, which were still very swollen, forcing him to sleep on his stomach.
Because Xie Yan was injured, everyone in the carriage subconsciously lowered their voices to avoid disturbing him, allowing him to have more time to rest.
When they got off the train, the situation was the same as when they arrived, with Xie Yan covering their retreat.
But unlike when they came, this time they waited until almost everyone on the bus had left before slowly getting up and getting off.
As soon as he got out of the car, Gu Bin saw his mother in the distance with tears in her eyes.
He was overjoyed and was about to step forward to express his longing for his mother when he saw his mother rush past him like a gust of wind, heading straight for his wife, or more precisely, for the little dumpling Tongtong in his wife's arms.
Tongtong felt the intense gaze of the unfamiliar grandmother in front of her and was terrified. She shrank back and buried her head in her mother's arms, hiding herself tightly.
Looking at her child hiding, Gu's mother was almost melted by his cuteness. Her face was filled with a doting smile as she murmured, "Oh, Lao Gu! Come and see, my little darling is shy."
"My dear, it's Grandma. Grandma bought lots of delicious food for Tongtong~ Turn your face around so Grandma can see it!" The tone of her voice was just like an old lady coaxing Little Red Riding Hood, but this only made Tongtong more frightened. She clung tightly to Zhang Linghui's clothes, not daring to move an inch.
Zhang Linghui sensed the child's fear and felt a pang of heartache.
She smiled apologetically at Gu's mother, gently patted Tongtong's back, and tenderly comforted her, "It's okay, baby, don't be afraid, this is Grandma~, and Mommy and Daddy are here too, don't be afraid~"
Gu Bin then came to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, gently pulled his mother away, and said helplessly, "Mom! You're too excited, you scared Tongtong."
Gu's mother was slightly stunned, looking at Gu Bin in disbelief. What had she done to frighten the child?
Having gotten up early and waited here with bated breath, Gu's mother was somewhat unable to accept this evaluation.
I'm not a bad person, so why did I scare the child?
She couldn't help but glance at Zhang Linghui over there, secretly thinking that it was this daughter-in-law who was behind it all. The child was just a little shy, but after Zhang Linghui said that, it seemed like she was the bad guy who had scared the child.
