Chapter 84: What Did You Call Me?
Zhang Can’er was silent for a long while, then she said, “Even if you ask me to explain, I can’t explain anything. Mainly, I feel that upgrading is really random, with no warning at all.”
After hearing these words, Shen Fanmeng also gradually calmed down. She looked at the others staring at her, her old face turning red, and she returned to her seat.
After a few pretentious coughs, she said, “I was just a little too excited. After all, I saw the birth of a gold-level ability user, hehe.”
Xiao Li smiled and rubbed her face, saying with a hint of sweetness, “I thought you were going to eat Sister Can’er.”
“I only eat you.”
“Ahem, that’s enough, you two,” Xiao An couldn’t stand it anymore and reminded them.
“Hmph! What’s wrong with me being affectionate with A’Meng?”
Xiao Li threw herself into Shen Fanmeng’s arms and even gave Xiao An a provocative look.
Xiao An was helpless. She took a sip of tea, planning to turn a blind eye.
Zhang Can’er, on the other hand, continued to eat her meal. After she was full, she couldn’t lie down anymore and wanted to go and wait outside Wan Feng’s ward.
Everyone advised her to rest a little more, but Zhang Can’er was a stubborn person and wouldn’t budge no matter how they persuaded her.
With no other choice, the group could only accompany her and wait outside the ward.
Zhang Can’er was a little embarrassed. “Why are you all here with me? Go back.”
“We’re afraid you’ll be lonely. Besides, our sister-in-law is inside. We also want to know her condition. Don’t drive us away,” Xiao Li said, leaning on Shen Fanmeng’s shoulder.
At this, the others were in a state of tacit agreement, so Zhang Can’er had to agree.
There was no news about Wan Feng’s treatment until the next morning.
Zhang Can’er was leaning against a chair, resting with her eyes closed. When she heard the door of the treatment room open, she immediately opened her eyes, stood up, and asked, “Doctor, how is she?”
“The patient is out of danger, but she needs to rest for at least a month. Her diet should be light during this period.”
“Okay, um… doctor, may I ask what her condition is?”
“The patient has three broken ribs. I don’t know if she’s lucky, but after dragging on for so long, there were no major problems. The surgery went very smoothly.”
Zhang Can’er nodded. After hearing this, apart from heartache, there was only heartache. How could she be happy? “Then can I go and see her now?”
“Only after she’s transferred to a ward.”
“Okay, thank you, doctor.”
After the doctor left, Zhuang Jiayuan walked to Zhang Can’er’s side and briefly told her about what had happened when they entered the medical room.
Zhang Can’er was silent for a long time. In the end, she only said, “You did very well.”
Then there was no other reaction.
Zhuang Jiayuan didn’t say any more and held Ke Yajun’s hand, accompanying her by her side.
After Wan Feng was pushed out of the treatment room and sent to a ward, Zhang Can’er sat on the chair by the bedside, her eyes fixed on the person on the bed, not knowing what she was thinking.
The others did not disturb her. After Xiao Hou brought breakfast up, he took a portion over and said in a low voice, “Sister Can’er, eat something.”
Zhang Can’er came back to her senses and took the bag, but her eyes still did not leave Wan Feng. She wanted to be the first to know Wan Feng’s condition, so she didn’t dare to be lax at all.
After eating, Shen Fanmeng and the others had things to do, so they left first. Knowing that Wan Feng was not in any serious danger, they were much more at ease.
What Xiao An and the others cared about the most was still Zhang Can’er. They were only accompanying her because of Zhang Can’er. They were afraid that if something happened to Wan Feng, Zhang Can’er would not be able to hold on. Now that Wan Feng was fine, they could also leave with peace of mind.
Zhuang Jiayuan and Ke Yajun did not leave. They were helping out on the side, bringing hot water, washing towels, and so on.
Zhang Can’er did not drive them away either, but she suddenly remembered one of them.
She turned to look at Zhuang Jiayuan and said in a gentle voice, “Xiao Ya’s illness, have you taken her to see a doctor?”
Zhuang Jiayuan first glanced at Ke Yajun, then turned to Zhang Can’er and replied, “No. A’Ya’s illness actually only started after the apocalypse broke out. When the apocalypse first broke out, she dodged the attacks of those Progenitors. After running home, she saw the tragic death of her family. This became a major heartache for her. When I met her, she actually wanted to die with those Mutants.”
“After that, I saved her. Later, the two of us depended on each other and reached the temporary safe zone set up by Starshine City together. When I was in danger, or when we encountered a large number of Mutants, she would be like she had seen red, completely irrational. This also led to many people who wanted to form a team not wanting us.”
After hearing Zhuang Jiayuan’s words, Zhang Can’er nodded and looked at Ke Yajun. “Are you willing to see a psychiatrist?”
Ke Yajun glanced at her, then at Zhuang Jiayuan, then walked to Zhuang Jiayuan’s side, and held her hand with some fear, her two pairs of eyes watery.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here with you. Let’s go and see, okay?” Zhuang Jiayuan gently stroked the back of her hand to comfort her.
Zhang Can’er also said in a gentle voice, “Go ahead. You don’t have to worry about the money. Just go and get treated.”
Ke Yajun wiped her tears and whispered, “But we don’t have the money to pay you back.”
“Don’t have any pressure. Since you’ve become our guards, how can I be short of that little bit of money from you? Just deduct it from your monthly salary.”
Ke Yajun stared with watery eyes, a little surprised. “So we have a salary?”
Zhang Can’er paused for a moment, then chuckled. “Did you really think you were going to work for us for free? Alright, go with Xiao Yuan. Just report Xiao Feng’s name. Those doctors will treat you.”
Ke Yajun was still a little worried and wanted to say something, but she was pulled out by Zhuang Jiayuan.
Zhang Can’er smiled helplessly. Ke Yajun just thought too much. Otherwise, how could she have so much pressure?
By noon, Wan Feng opened her eyes. Zhang Can’er was the first to notice and quickly called a doctor over.
“The patient is fine. Just remember to have a light diet from now on.”
“Okay, thank you, doctor.”
After the doctor left, Zhang Can’t quickly walked to Wan Feng’s side and asked softly, “Are you hungry? I think you are. Wait a minute, I’ll go get you some congee.”
With that, she was about to walk to the table to get the congee.
But her hand was caught by Wan Feng. Zhang Can’er turned back and looked at her with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she wanted.
Wan Feng’s face was a little pale, and her lips were colorless. She looked extremely weak. She just looked at Zhang Can’er and didn’t speak.
But Zhang Can’er seemed to have understood her meaning. She held her hand back and sat down on the chair.
“What, you don’t want to leave me for even a moment?”
“Mhm.”
Hearing her reply, Zhang Can’er smiled like a little sun. After lightly tapping Wan Feng’s nose, she said softly, “I’m just going to get some congee. I’ll be right back. Can I ask my wife to be a little more accommodating?”
Hearing this, Wan Feng’s ear tips instantly turned red, and then the blush spread to her entire ears, and even her cheeks.
“What did you call me?” Wan Feng’s voice was very soft, but Zhang Can’er heard it clearly.
“Wife. Don’t you like it?” Zhang Can’er stared at Wan Feng with sparkling eyes.
She thought Wan Feng’s blushing look was so cute. How could someone have both a cold and a cute temperament at the same time? She seemed to have been poisoned by someone named Wan Feng.
