Chapter 308 - 23: Origins_2
Lin Xiaoguai frowned and said, "Should I go to the hospital cafeteria and get some plain congee? It’s easier to swallow."
"I’ll go, I’ll go."
Before Lin Xiaoguai and Shen Chi could say anything, he had already pushed the door open and left.
"I should’ve thought of asking grandma to make congee earlier," Shen Chi said with some annoyance.
"Let’s make congee tomorrow then," Lin Xiaoguai served a bowl of fish soup and carefully began to feed Little Niangao.
By the time Shen Mincheng returned with the plain congee, Shen Yinian had filled his stomach with fish soup and greens. Lin Xiaoguai cleared the bowls and dishes, then sat down and asked, "What exactly happened? What kind of dispute did you have with your classmate that led to knives being drawn?"
Shen Yinian looked a bit embarrassed and pursed his lips as he said, "Zeng Yi wanted to copy my homework, but I had already turned my Chinese assignment in, so he asked Wen Jie, who sits in front of me. Wen Jie refused, and Zeng Yi threatened him with a Swiss Army Knife. Wen Jie, in a fit of passion, snatched the knife from Zeng Yi and swung it at him. Zeng Yi got scared and pulled me in front of him; I didn’t react in time."
He felt somewhat ashamed; after all, he had been exercising with his father since he was six years old, believing that his physical fitness and reflexes were far superior to those of his peers. Yet, he had failed to react in that crucial moment.
