Chapter 791: Picking up Father He and Second Brother to Go to the Capital 10_1
"I bumped my foot on the closet door! I wasn’t paying attention, and when I stood up, I slammed into it! It hurts so much!" He Zhilan said pitifully, biting her lip and pointing to the half-opened closet door, "Big brother, it’s bleeding~"
"You’re not getting any younger! Why are you still so clumsy? Other people call themselves brave, but you just like to hit things! What’s the point of having such big eyes if you’re not going to use them to look around?" He Teng scolded her while bending down to look at her injury. He Zhilan’s perfect skin was now marred by a gash and a missing chunk of flesh, with blood streaming down. It pained him just to look at it.
"You’re scolding me when I’m already hurt." said He Zhilan, tears brimming in her eyes. "It really hurts, you don’t even comfort me and yet you’re scolding me!"
"You’re overreacting!" He Teng retorted stubbornly, but seeing He Zhilan crying in genuine pain, he couldn’t utter another word. "Alright, alright! Let me help you to the bed to sit down. I’m going to find you a band-aid."
In the end, He Teng rummaged around but found nothing. He had to make a trip to the Chen Family to ask Chen Zheng for a couple of band-aids.
"Does it hurt?" He Teng asked, watching He Zhilan twitch in pain, feeling a twinge of distress himself.
He Zhilan nodded, "It hurts a lot."
"Good! You deserve it! Only when it hurts can you learn. So, in the future, you won’t repeat these same mistakes!" He Teng bluntly said these words and then very gently, very cautiously, applied the band-aid to He Zhilan’s wound.
