Just as Xie Xihe hung up the call with Fu Yunting, Mo Huaizhi called from the other end.
Xie Xihe's attention was on Sheng Ming, and he casually asked, "What's wrong?"
Mo Huaizhi on the other side was silent for three seconds, then said, "Today is the 28th."
Number 28?
Xie Xihe was stunned for two seconds before reacting. He pressed his eyebrows and said, "I know. I'll come over later."
Mo Huaizhi: "The assessment starts at 1 pm, don't be late."
Knowing she was reluctant to bother, he added, "Your resume is ready. You only need to answer a few questions. It will take no more than half an hour. It won't take much time."
Xie Xihe responded and hung up the phone.
As soon as he lowered his head, he met Sheng Ming's big dark eyes and subconsciously touched his little head: "Are you feeling better?"
Sheng Ming Yan'er nodded.
Xie Xihe frowned and carefully checked Sheng Ming's condition again. Just like the previous times, he still couldn't see anything.
Xie Xihe considered himself a pretty good doctor. He wasn't invincible, but he should be able to diagnose a headache or fever without any problems. However, he just couldn't diagnose a life-threatening condition.
What's more, Sheng Ming has a special physique. He recovered automatically after being abused by TCO before. Normally, it is impossible for him to be so upset by a cold and fever.
If it's not a problem with his body, then it's caused by external factors...
Xie Xihe pondered for a moment, then stood up and went downstairs to find Mr. Xie.
"When did my life start to be like this?" Xie Xihe asked.
"The 23rd, the day when the college entrance examination results are released." The family doctor has asked this question several times, and Xie Bowen answered immediately.
"More specific?"
Xie Bowen thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Yi discovered it first, probably around 1:00 p.m. I don't know the exact time, but it should have been before lunch."
"Anything unusual this morning?"
What could be unusual?
Isn't it just getting up, eating breakfast, taking a walk, checking college entrance exam results, going home, and eating lunch...
Xie Bowen thought about it, and suddenly his expression paused, and he thought of something: "If I were to say something unusual, there really is one."
Xie Bowen briefly described the bet he had made that day, and concluded by saying, "The other things are fine, but Old Man Su's stone looks quite strange to me."
"It looks big and ugly now, but when I first opened it, the golden light almost blinded me and it took a long time to dissipate."
He hadn't thought about it in this direction before, but when Xie Xihe reminded him, Xie Bowen immediately thought of more. He stood up from the sofa and said affirmatively, "Yes, it's that stone!"
"After we got home, Xiao Ming took the stone to play with it. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it. It's been several days now, and I haven't seen it again. I don't know where the little guy hid it."
Xie Xihe's eyebrows moved slightly, and he immediately turned around and went back to Sheng Ming's room.
He said bluntly, "What about the stone?"
Sheng Ming closed his eyes as if he was asleep, but his trembling eyelashes betrayed his condition.
Xie Xihe was both angry and amused. He immediately picked up the little guy, cup and all, and held his face against his chest, asking again, "Where's the stone?"
Sheng Ming couldn't hold on any longer, and cautiously opened his eyes. After looking at her, he quickly lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Eat it."
Xie Xihe: “???”
Xie Bowen: “!!!”
Xie Bowen was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. He rushed forward in two steps, pretending to pick the little guy's mouth, and said angrily: "You little bastard, can you eat stones? Is there a shortage of food at home for you? Why are you eating stones?"
"You didn't tell me for several days. I was worried..."
Xie Bowen was so angry that he wanted to spank him. He even pulled his pants down but couldn't bring himself to do it. In the end, he just slapped him lightly and threatened him with a weak tone: "If you do that again, I'll beat you up!"
Xie Xihe: “…”
He had never been so reluctant to beat her before, so why was he like this now that Sheng Ming was the one doing it?
Sheng Ming was very weak and said in a low voice: "Like I said, it's just that I ate too much and can't digest it. It will be fine in a few days."
Xie Bowen: “…”
Oh, he said he couldn’t digest what he ate, but he didn’t say he couldn’t digest what he ate because of stones!
He would never think of it even if you kill him.
Xie Bowen didn't know what expression to put on. Finally, he raised his hand and patted his daughter's shoulder, saying earnestly: "Since you adopted him, you must treat him as your own son and teach him well."
He lowered his voice and said, "Dad doesn't approve of violent education, but sometimes a certain amount of force is necessary to suppress children. Just know the right degree."
Xie Xihe: ...If you are so capable, why don’t you take action?
Xie Bowen pretended not to notice his daughter's gaze. After giving his instructions, he left with his hands behind his back, not forgetting to turn around and say, "The child is still young and naive. If you have anything to say, just talk to her nicely. Don't hit her!"
Xie Xihe: “…”
If this wasn't her own father, she might have really taken action.
After Xie Bowen left, only Xie Xihe and Sheng Ming were left in the room.
Xie Xihe didn't return to the bedside, but leaned against the door and window and said, "Go ahead."
Sheng Ming glanced at her through his eyelashes, and when he saw that although her face was calm, there was a darkness in her eyes, he pursed his lips.
He said dejectedly, "I'm too useless. I thought I could digest it quickly."
Xie Xihe: "Hmm?"
Sheng Ming sat up from the bed, patted the empty seat beside him and said, "Xixi, sit down."
Xie Xihe glanced at him.
Although I didn't know what he wanted to do, I still sat next to him as he said.
Sheng Ming reached out and held her hand, then slowly closed his eyes.
The next moment, a warm and familiar force surged in Xie Xihe, causing all the pores on her body to open involuntarily. It washed away her fatigue from the past half month and also increased her strength dramatically.
However, in just a few seconds, Xie Xihe realized that the strength in his body had more than doubled and was still growing.
Xie Xihe suddenly opened his eyes.
"Don't move." Sheng Ming said in a low voice with his eyes still closed.
The voice was childish, yet steady like an adult who had experienced many hardships. Xie Xihe was slightly startled and really did not move.
An even more turbulent force poured into his body, and after circulating, it was absorbed deep into his body, and then completely subsided...
It seemed like a century, or just a few minutes, before Sheng Ming finally withdrew his hand.
His originally pale face became much rosier and his mental state was much better.
He smiled at Xie Xihe with his eyes curved.
Xie Xihe, however, couldn't quite smile.
Her eyes fixed on him tightly, and she asked in a slightly grave voice, "What's going on?"
