His brow smoothed out, his complexion visibly improved—a child’s recuperative powers are indeed remarkable.
It hadn’t been many days, but he had already recovered quite well.
That sleep was particularly restful for Tang Xincheng, especially since the pain had ceased, he no longer had nightmares, nor did he wake up terrified from them.
When he opened his eyes, he was indeed still in his sister’s hospital.
To him, this place couldn’t be any safer because his sister was here.
His sister, since his childhood, had been like a fairy to him, one who could foresee the future, so he trusted her the most.
His guess was right on the mark—his sister could indeed see into the future.
At the very least, she knew about the events that would happen in the coming years; where earthquakes and floods would occur, which country would host the Olympics, and who would win gold medals.
She knew it all more clearly than anyone.
However, her own brother, who wasn’t part of her forecasts, was the one she found most uncontrollable and naturally, the source of her greatest headaches.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to suffer so needlessly, nearly crippled by his own grandparents and his aunt.
“Awake?”
Li Jia walked in, helping Tang Xincheng remove the IV from the back of his hand.

Yes, it’s finished.
You can rest now.
“How are you feeling today?”
She asked Tang Xincheng with a smile, rubbing his head.
Although he had lost some weight, he was still a good-looking young boy.
When he grew up, he would surely be a handsome man—rich and attractive as well.
It’s a pity she was born decades too early.
“Sister Jiajia, I’m feeling much better,” Tang Xincheng sat up, gripping his fingers to test them.
Indeed, he felt much better and could even feel some strength returning.
“As long as you’re better.”
Li Jia rubbed Tang Xincheng’s head again.
“Your sister’s been in a rather bad mood lately.
You ought to be careful around her and try not to provoke her.”
“I understand,” Tang Xincheng shrank his neck a bit.
He was always one to know the score, of course, and he understood his sister best.
Right now, Tang Yuxin was like a bomb waiting to explode—provoke her and you’re dead.
“Come on, look what your Sister Jiajia brought you?”
Seizing a moment when no one was around, Li Jia quickly slipped a bag of something into Tang Xincheng’s arms.
“Burgers!”
Tang Xincheng immediately hugged the bag and started eating a burger from inside.
What child doesn’t love eating these?
Though he was no longer little, now a big boy, he still adored it.
The only problem was his family didn’t allow it, so he could only sneak a few bites here and there, without letting anyone know.
“Eat quietly.
I’ll stand watch for you,” Jiajia glanced outside once more.
This really felt like acting like thieves, or rather, even more dangerous than that.
If Tang Yuxin found out, she would absolutely scold her to death.
She hurriedly opened the door and stood outside, ready to warn Tang Xincheng if someone came for a checkup, giving him time to prepare.
After all, Tang Xincheng was clever; he wouldn’t let himself get caught.
Besides, Tang Yuxin had a major surgery to perform, which would take several hours even if it was brief.
So, as long as it wasn’t Tang Yuxin, they could bluff their way through.
They just had to hope that it wouldn’t be Tang Yuxin.
While she stood watch outside, Tang Xincheng inside wolfed down the burgers, relishing a taste he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
The familiar flavor was truly delightful, oh so fragrant.

It wasn’t until he had eaten everything in the bag that Li Jia finally came in and removed all the trash, erasing all traces.
“Remember, you can’t tell anyone else,” Li Jia poked Tang Xincheng’s forehead, “If you sell me out, you won’t get any more,” she had risked her life to buy this for him, he absolutely couldn’t fail to honor the code of the streets.
Otherwise, she would definitely squish his handsome little face into a pulp.
“Don’t worry.”
Tang Xincheng patted his chest, “Sister Jiajia, I’m the most honorable, we people of the jianghu care most about loyalty.”
Li Jia’s eyes twitched.
“People of the jianghu?”
“If you were really from the jianghu, how could you end up like this?”
Tang Xincheng scratched his head sheepishly, “The enemy was too strong, my training wasn’t enough.”
“Your sister has trained to the point of perfection.”
Li Jia poked Tang Xincheng’s forehead again, “You stay here on your own for now, just ring the bell if you need anything.
I’ll be around all day today.”
“OK,” Tang Xincheng was now satisfied with a full stomach, and with that, everything felt comfortable.
He grabbed his backpack, ready to study hard to avoid the disgrace of failing his exams.
As he was seriously flipping through his books, the door suddenly opened and he looked up to see Tang Sisi walking in with red-rimmed eyes, followed by a long-faced Wang Zitan.
“Chengcheng, are you alright?” Tang Sisi quickly ran over and touched her brother’s arms and face, afraid that this might be a fake or perhaps something pieced together?
“Sis, I’m fine.”
Tang Xincheng put down his hands and smiled innocently, “Look at me,” he clenched his fists and showed Tang Sisi his muscles; he was still a robust kid.
“It’s just a bit of blood drawn, hurt a little bit, but I’m quickly getting better,” of course, there’s no need to worry, his arms and legs were all there, all fine, definitely not fake and surely not patched together.
“Are you really okay?”
Tang Sisi still didn’t believe it; she had to check for herself.
When she heard Tang Xincheng had an accident, she was beyond anxious, since this was her brother, her own flesh and blood, the brother she had personally raised from a young age, he wasn’t like anyone else.
And she had rushed over here all this way, until now she hadn’t eaten or drunk anything; now that she saw her brother was fine, she finally felt relieved.
“Chengcheng, are you hungry?
Want to eat something?”
Before Tang Xincheng could reply, Tang Sisi quickly stood up, “It’s this time already, of course, you’re hungry.”
“Cousin…” she tugged pitifully at Wang Zitan’s clothes, and Wang Zitan couldn’t resist the one thing that was Tang Sisi’s tearful eyes.
His own Little Bean had also inherited her mother’s eyes, those wet, dewy eyes that looked at people like Bambi, always so hard for anyone to bear.
“Alright, I’ll go buy something, don’t rush.”
