Li Sen nodded slowly:

"Zhizhi, listen to me. We can talk about these things later. Let's treat your wound first."

Their illnesses were improving no matter what, but Shen Zhi had many abrasions and bruises on her body, her eyes were red from being rubbed by sand, and even one of her fingernails had been torn off.

With so many wounds piled up on the little girl's body, she must be in excruciating pain.

"By the way, it seems like Fifth Brother can feel pain again. I heard him cry out in pain earlier."

After learning that Li Yao was out of danger, Li Sen resumed his cold demeanor.

He gave a soft "hmm".

"He can feel pain now, and he's screaming like a pig being slaughtered."

Li Sen heard the second sound in the world only after Li Xin had shouted at the top of his lungs.

Then came Li Yao's wailing and howling.

At this moment, Li Sen felt even more grateful for the wonderful time that had passed.

His voice was no longer silent; he could hear Zhizhi sweetly calling him "brother."

Unlike now... it's so noisy.

Despite the pain all over her body, Shen Zhi suddenly chuckled.

Li Sen thought she had injured her brain and become stupid:

"Zhizhi? You can still laugh even when you're injured like this?"

"But eldest brother, second brother, and fifth brother, you're all better now!"

The eldest brother can speak now, the second brother can hear more sounds, and the fifth brother can finally feel pain!

Perhaps the shock of Shen Zhi's injury was too great, which stimulated the brothers' potential.

This is great news for Shen Zhi!

When the principal found out that Shen Zhi was injured, he almost knelt down.

If we really want to investigate, it's because they failed to supervise their children properly, allowing them to run away on their own.

He Li felt extremely guilty.

Sobbing and apologizing, she cried, "Auntie, I'm so sorry... If I hadn't pestered you to come home with me, you wouldn't have been arrested, you wouldn't have gotten hurt, and you wouldn't be in so much pain... Waaaaah!"

Shen Zhi rubbed her ears; He Li had used up the whole pack of tissues on the bedside table.

Why is she crying so much?

I felt like I was made of water, with endless tears.

"Stop crying!"

Shen Zhi raised her voice slightly, and He Li immediately stopped crying, looking at her with teary eyes.

Although she cries easily, she is obedient.

Shen Zhi softened her tone and patiently comforted her:

"It's not your fault. It's Xu Peishan's fault! If she hadn't gone crazy and run away, none of us would have been in this situation."

"Besides, your eldest uncle, second uncle, and fifth uncle have all improved, which is like turning misfortune into blessing, so don't cry~"

He Li sniffled and nodded obediently.

With red eyes like a little white rabbit, she sat by Shen Zhi's bedside. Seeing that her water glass was empty, she picked it up and was about to refill it.

"I'm getting water for my aunt."

"Hey, I want a sweet and sour drink, not boring water."

He Li hesitated, as her mother and uncles didn't allow her aunt to drink.

"Am I your aunt? Am I your elder?"

He Li nodded obediently.

"That settles it then. Elders are adults, and adults can drink beverages."

Shen Zhi righteously and eloquently twisted the facts, and He Li, in a daze, believed it:

"Okay, I'll go steal... no, pour a drink for Auntie!"

He Li glared at her short legs as she went out the door. Before Shen Zhi could even calm down for a moment, she saw two furtive heads peeking out from the doorway.

"Come in."

Guan Xing and Liang Yang immediately rushed in, looked at Shen Zhi's bandaged fingers, and stood in the room like a comedian, scolding Xu Peishan for a long time.

Guan Xing put all the snacks he brought from the island onto the bed:

"Zhizhi, this contains spicy strips, seaweed, shrimp chips, biscuits, lots of fish, Oreos, konjac cookies, mini steamed buns, marshmallows, lollipops, and chewy gummies..."

"So much! You can have it all, eat more to nourish your body!"

Not to be outdone, Liang Yang also piled his bag of snacks onto Shen Zhi's hospital bed.

"Zhizhi, I have more snacks than him, you can eat mine."

"Liang Yang! Have you no shame? Why are you copying me!"

"I only learned it once, but how many times have you learned it from me before?"

Seeing that the two clowns were about to start arguing again, Shen Zhi didn't have time to stop them. She spotted a figure at the door and quickly pulled back the blanket to cover the two large bags of snacks.

The moment the blanket fell, Li Miao walked in from the doorway carrying a medicinal meal.

"Zhizhi, eat first."

"Okay~"

Shen Zhi was unusually obedient. The moment Li Miao turned around, she frantically winked at Liang Yang and Guan Xing, signaling them to be quiet.

But if Shen Zhi moved even slightly, rustling sounds would come from under the covers.

Li Miao fed him a mouthful, and then there was another rustling sound.

The man glanced at the bulging blanket, pretended not to notice, and continued feeding Shen Zhi.

Just as the little girl was about to breathe a sigh of relief and the alarm was lifted, Li Miao pulled back the covers:

"Confiscated."

"Third Brother!"

Shen Zhi wailed and clung to Li Miao's leg, trying to hold back her tears for a long time but failing to shed a single one.

"My hand hurts so much, I can't go without some snacks..."

"Heh." Li Miao chuckled, looking at her leisurely, and countered, "Tell me, which one of these things would be good for your injuries if you ate it?"

"...Chicken feet?"

"You are what you eat, right?"

Before Li Miao could speak, He Li came over with a full glass of bubbling Sprite, her steps unsteady.

"Auntie, this Sprite looks like water, and it's sweet. Hurry up... Oh, Third Uncle..."

He Li looked up and met Li Miao's sharp eyes. She was timid to begin with, and she burst into tears instantly.

Shen Zhi & Li Miao: ...

"Then what does this supplement?" Li Miao raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi reacted incredibly quickly, immediately taking the Sprite and presenting it with both hands:

"Third brother! Drink some soda to calm down! I won't eat snacks, okay...?"

Li Miao confiscated two large bags of snacks, plus a cup of Sprite.

They took Liang Yang, Guan Xing, and He Li away, leaving Shen Zhi alone in the room to rest.

Seeing how pitiful she was, they still left her a bag of chocolates:

"You can eat the other things after you're better, Zhizhi, these aren't good for your wound healing."

"If you don't give me food, it won't help my wounded heart heal."

"Smooth-talking, get some more sleep and rest."

As soon as Li Miao stepped out the door, the gentleness on his face vanished, and he called the three little ones to him with a stern expression.

He Li was more familiar with Li Miao, so she mustered up her courage and asked:

"Third Uncle, why won't Auntie eat snacks?"

Guan Xing: "Yeah, Uncle, it's so pitiful not to eat snacks."

Li Miao thought that these little rascals would often be by Shen Zhi's side in the future, so it wouldn't hurt to tell them some things in advance.

"Zhizhi's health isn't as good as you think. What's a daily treat for you might cause serious harm to her. So from now on, no one is allowed to let her sneak unhealthy snacks."

"Did you remember?"

The three little ones stood there, seemingly understanding but not quite, but they did understand what they were hearing.

We must protect Zhizhi.

Gardenias are very fragile.

We can't let her sneak snacks!

After Li Miao dismissed the three children, his expression grew even more somber.

I originally thought Zhizhi was the only healthy child in the Li family, but I never expected...

After Li Duo woke up that day, she seriously asked them to secretly give Zhi Zhi a full-body checkup.

The blood was examined in detail.

That's when they realized something was wrong; the situation was much more serious than they had imagined.
