Chapter 117: Invitation to a Family Dinner
Li Haoran waited and waited, until he fell asleep, but Ziyi still didn't come.
In fact, it wasn’t that Ziyi didn’t want to come, but he was entangled by Yike and he was in dire straits and couldn’t get out. After Ke finally fell asleep from exhaustion, Ziyi quietly got up from the bed and sneaked out to find Li Haoran.
Li Haoran heard a knock on the door in his sleep, so he came out, opened the door and walked out.
The two of them went to the medicine drying area and sat on a rock. Li Haoran said, "Tell me, what happened? Your mother told you about the pain in Yike's chest that day. Do you have any other findings?"
"To be honest, I don't know what happened. But it really started that morning. After Yike's chest pain healed, she stayed in bed all day. After she got up the next day, she became what you see now, except that she became more attached to me than before." Ziyi said dejectedly.
"Did you ask her? What did she say?" Li Haoran frowned tightly, and it didn't look like there was any problem.
"I asked her, and she said it was nothing, she just wanted to be with me and didn't want to talk." Ziyi thought carefully about Yike's answer when he asked her, "I asked her too many times, and she got annoyed, so I stopped asking her later."
Li Haoran thought about it, but still had no clue. "I'll take her pulse tomorrow." Finally, Li Haoran had to hope to find the problem from the pulse.
"It's useless. I said I would take her out to see you for pulse diagnosis, and then she started crying and said, well, that I didn't like her anymore." Ziyi said a little embarrassedly.
"So do you like her? Have you shown that you don't like her?" Li Haoran suddenly realized something. That's right, many girls will change their temperament when they are betrayed in love. Could it be that Ziyi...
"Dad, what's that look in your eyes? Am I that kind of person? I like her so much, how could I show that I don't like her?" Ziyi growled angrily.
"Why are you yelling at me? I'm just trying to find the reason for Yike's change. How can I find the reason without guessing? According to what you said, she is against my diagnosis of her pulse, which will make things even more difficult." Li Haoran felt a little relieved when he knew that Ziyi did not dislike Yike. What he feared most was illness related to love.
In fact, Li Haoran revealed the truth this time. Yi Ke's drastic change in personality was related to his feelings. If you can't get the love you want at night, you will be full of resentment during the day and of course it is impossible for you to be happy.
"What should I do? What should I do if you, Dad, can't see it?" Ziyi held his head and wailed in pain.
"Don't be anxious, let me think about it, let me think about it." Li Haoran's eyebrows were so tight that they could pinch a fly to death, but he still couldn't figure out the reason. Except for the first thing he thought of, a heart attack, or even the kind of death, it didn't make sense. However, he didn't dare to tell Ziyi about this guess, which really made it difficult for him.
"Think about it again? Think about it carefully? Is there anything you haven't thought of? Think about anything that is different from before. For example, do you feel pain anywhere from time to time? Or do you have nightmares when you sleep? Or can't sleep? As long as it is slightly different from before, tell me about it. You are with Yike day and night, you must know more than your mother. Since you can't take his pulse, you can only analyze it from the abnormal phenomena." Li Haoran reminded Ziyi to try to recall.
Ziyi thought about it and realized that besides being clingy both day and night, that was not right, especially at night. I used to sleep well every night, but now I have to... But how can I say this?
Ziyi's expression kept changing, and Li Haoran could see it clearly under the moonlight. He said, "If you think of it, just say it. Can't you say it? Do you really want to say it?"
"Well, then I'll tell you." Ziyi pursed his lips and told him about how she forced him to do that thing every night, but he omitted how she seduced him and made him suffer.
Li Haoran didn't expect that his question would bring up such a big secret. He wanted to laugh but held it back, fearing that Ziyi would get angry and refuse to answer his question, and the problem would not be solved.
"Did you do it?" Li Haoran asked curiously.
"No." Ziyi answered unhappily. If he had done it, would he need to bring it up?
"Why? Don't you like her? Why don't you want to?" Li Haoran didn't understand.
"She is only fourteen years old. It's not good for her health. Isn't that what you said?" Ziyi muttered unhappily.
"Oh! Yes, it is bad for your health. That means she wants it, but you don't, so she thinks you don't like her, is that right?" Li Haoran asked.
"Yeah! She said I don't like her and despise her. I swear to God, I really don't dislike her, otherwise I wouldn't have to take cold showers every day." Ziyi couldn't help feeling aggrieved.
"Ah! Take a cold shower! In the middle of the night, this is bad for your health. No, why do you want to take a cold shower in the middle of the night? Did Yi know? You didn't let her know? Secretly?" Li Haoran looked at Ziyi strangely and thought that this child was too stupid.
"No, I, I, am embarrassed. I was afraid that she would call me a hooligan." Ziyi's voice became lower and lower. It was really useless to tell his father about such things.
"Is there something wrong with your brain? You are husband and wife, how can you be a hooligan? If you don't let her know, she will think that you don't like her enough and that if you like her you can be like Liu Xiahui. How stupid! Go away, go back to sleep, you are so stupid." Li Haoran didn't expect that someone who looked so smart could be so stupid emotionally.
"Wait a minute, Dad." Ziyi stopped Li Haoran who was about to go back to sleep and said, "Um, is it really not harmful to do that?"
"Half and half. Hey! Ziyi, aren't you very smart? Use your smart head to think about what method you can use to make Yike believe that you like her so much that you would rather die than live without her. You don't have to really do that thing, and you don't hurt her body. Let me advise you, don't act like Liu Xiahui in front of Yike, otherwise she will leave you sooner or later." Li Haoran shook his head and went back to sleep.
Ziyi thought about Li Haoran's words seriously. After thinking for a long time, he finally understood what he meant and finally knew what to do.
After this night, Yike finally understood the difficult life that Ziyi had to go through every night in the past. She no longer dared to clamor for doing that with Ziyi. Even before they actually did it, every part of her body ached. She didn't even have the strength to hold the chopsticks for breakfast in the morning. During the day, she just wanted to sleep and rest. How could she have the energy to stick with Ziyi?
Ziyi tasted the sweetness, so how could he let Yike go? Yike finally realized what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot. She no longer had the energy to think about what would happen when her original self took control of the body in the future.
The days passed quietly like this, and Yike gradually forgot about his original self and returned to his former lively and agile self. Only then did everyone live their lives with peace of mind.
…
"Sister Yike, Sister Yike." A little boy's voice came from far outside the cave, and a little boy ran in along with the voice.
The little boy ran up to Yike happily and said to her in a familiar manner: "Sister Yike, I finally get to see you. They are all so annoying. I wanted to come and see Sister Yike, but they just wouldn't let me come." The little boy complained aggrievedly.
"Really? Are you happy to see your sister today?" Yi Ke still couldn't remember whose boy this was and felt quite uncomfortable.
"Chen Fugui, why are you here alone? Where is your family?" Ziyi asked.
When Yike found out that this was Chen Shengli's child, he was a little surprised. Doesn’t Chen Shengli have some dissatisfaction with himself? This child likes himself so much. I guess Chen Shengli would vomit to death if he knew this.
In fact, Chen Shengli had almost vomited to death, the reason being that Chen Fugui had been clamoring at home every day to come and see Yi Ke.
"I came here with my sister and Brother Dashan. They were so slow, I couldn't wait any longer, so I ran over here first." Chen Fugui jumped happily in front of Yi Ke.
"Then your sister will be worried. You should wait for them to leave together. This way it will be safe." Yike touched Fugui's head. Well, it was clean this time and not greasy.
"No way! Brother Dashan said that if I got to you first, he would reward me with a candy." Chen Fugui had no idea that the Brother Dashan he was talking about was disdainful of him, a big light bulb.
"Then let's go to the cattle farm and wait for them." Ziyi said as he pulled Yike out of the cave.
"Hey! Wait for me, I want to go too." Chen Fugui reached out to pull Yike's other hand, but Ziyi grabbed it and he couldn't move.
"It hurts, it hurts. Brother Ziyi, my hand hurts." Chen Fugui cried out in pain.
"Walk in front, you don't need anyone to pull you. You're that old now, you can walk by yourself." Ziyi let go of her hand and said sternly.
"Oh, okay!" Chen Fugui glanced at Ziyi holding Yike's hand and thought to himself, "Brother Ziyi is lying. He is so old and still wants to hold Sister Yike's hand, but I can't do that. He is biased." But his elbow was no match for his thigh, so he had to pout and walk in front.
The three of them went to the cattle farm, and soon they saw Li Dashan and Chen Yue'er coming over with baskets of grass on their backs.
"Sister, Brother Dashan, you guys are so slow. I got here a long time ago before you arrived." Chen Fugui ran up to Li Dashan and said, and before Li Dashan put down the backpack, he reached out to ask for candy.
Chen Yue'er's face instantly turned red. She glared at her mischievous brother angrily, and then quickly greeted Ziyi and Yike: "Brother Ziyi, sister Yike, you are back."
Li Dashan also said happily: "Brother Ziyi, Sister Yike, it's great that you are back."
Ziyi hurriedly helped them put down the backpacks and poured the hay into the cowshed. Yike also helped Chen Yue'er pour the hay into the cowshed.
"You don't have to come to cut grass for the cows anymore. Yike and I are back, and we have time to cut grass for the cows. You just focus on your own work. It's useless to cut grass for us even if you are so busy." Ziyi advised Li Dashan and Chen Yueer.
"That won't do. We'd feel bad if you didn't let us cut grass for the cows. Just give us some peace of mind. Don't stop us. Besides, this won't take much time." Li Dashan persuaded Ziyi instead.
