Chapter 86: Why Would I Be Angry?
Early in the morning, the doctor came to check on the situation. Wan Feng was recovering well and would probably be able to leave in about a week.
“It seems that Miss Zhang was very attentive when the medicine took effect. To be honest, I thought she would need a few more courses of treatment, because no one can control a person when the Lianxing grass is taking effect. Many people fail the first time. I really admire Miss Zhang.”
Zhang Can’er just smiled and nodded. Only she could understand the hardships involved. It was useless to tell others.
Wan Feng had been listening the whole time and hadn’t said a word. She was particularly silent today.
Mainly, the memories from after taking the medicine would not be erased, so she remembered everything from yesterday. She didn’t really want to admit that the person who was like a child was her.
Zhang Can’er didn’t bring up this topic either. She knew that these were things that Wan Feng had to digest on her own.
After a peaceful week, the two of them left the medical room and returned to their residence.
It was clean inside. Needless to say, someone had been coming to clean it regularly.
Zhuang Jiayuan and Ke Yajun were still in the medical room, so it was definitely not these two.
Then it must be that Xiao Feng had sent someone over to clean.
Zhang Can’er thought that if they could eliminate the Mutants in the future, she would pay to build a villa for each of Xiao Feng and the others to show her gratitude.
After Wan Feng returned, she sat on a chair, dazed, not knowing what she was thinking.
Zhang Can’er felt that this couldn’t go on. In the ward, because she needed to rest, she hadn’t said anything. But now that they were out, it wouldn’t do for her to be like this.
What if she bottled it up and got sick?
“Sister Feng, let’s go for a walk in the main city.”
The main city was connected to the military base, with only a wall separating them. It was very strict to go out and come in from the military base. After all, it was a military stronghold, and not just anyone could enter. And it was not so easy for soldiers to go out.
But Zhang Can’er had special privileges. When she first came in, Xiao Feng had given her a card. This card represented her. Seeing the card was like seeing the person. Who would dare to provoke the newly appointed director? Besides, many high-level officials had free access, and no one dared to stop them.
The layout of the main city was actually a bit like Starshine City. The main road in the middle was very wide, enough to be a square. And the building in the very center was the City Lord’s Mansion. The City Lord of the main city was called Tang Dongyun, and it was said that she had a close relationship with the Federation Lord.
With the City Lord’s Mansion as the center, the left side was the commercial and residential area, and the right side was the farm area. The farm here was much larger than in Starshine City, and it also raised many livestock and had a large population.
Although the main city was only separated from the military base by a wall, the entrance to the main city was in the west. In addition, the military base was large, so Zhang Can’t needed to take a car to get there. If she walked, it would probably take an hour.
After the two of them entered the main city, it was just in time for the bustling time. There were many small vendors on both sides of the main road, selling all kinds of things. But there were not many snacks, only some small trinkets, such as small cloth dolls and toy cars for children.
There were also many selling daily necessities, such as pots, bowls, basins, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and so on. But there were no tissues. The only paper factory still in production now was a small factory in the main city. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to expand, but that there was no stable source of raw materials.
So the paper that the common people could use was very rough. Many tissues were provided to the people above.
The two of them strolled around the main road and bought some fried meatballs. The meatballs were made of pure vegetables. It was better to say that they were fried vegetables.
But to still have a snack stall that could persist now was already very impressive. Without some connections, it really couldn’t be done.
“Here, Sister Feng, open your mouth. Ah~”
Wan Feng looked at the vegetable meatball in front of her and, in the end, opened her mouth and ate it. She didn’t expect the taste to be okay.
“How is it? The taste is not bad, right?” Zhang Can’er asked as she ate one. Although the price was a bit expensive, the taste was indeed good.
“Mhm.”
Seeing the emotionless look on Wan Feng’s face, Zhang Can’er put the remaining meatballs in her hand.
“Eating something delicious can also make you feel better. Don’t be so sullen all the time.”
Wan Feng obediently ate in small bites. As for Zhang Can’er’s words about not being sullen, she seemed a little unable to do it.
Because she didn’t know what to say. She was always afraid that Zhang Can’er would be angry and would never talk to her again. But she knew that Zhang Can’er wouldn’t do that. But she couldn’t convince herself. For the past few days, she had been constantly telling herself not to be afraid, but the effect was not good.
Knowing was one thing, doing was another. If you can’t get over the hurdle in your heart, you will always be stuck in the same place.
Zhang Can’er would turn to look at Wan Feng from time to time. She didn’t know how to bring up what had happened before. She was afraid that Wan Feng’s self-esteem was too strong and that suddenly bringing it up would be met with her dislike.
Just as the two of them were silent, Xiao Feng and Xiao Huan came out of the City Lord’s Mansion.
The two of them had already walked out of the circle of small vendors and entered a relatively quiet main road. It was just in time to meet the two people who had come out of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Xiao Feng and Xiao Huan could see the two of them clearly from the car. They had the car stop.
Xiao Feng and Xiao Huan both got out of the car and walked toward Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng.
Zhang Can’er was a little surprised. She hadn’t expected to meet them.
“Sister Can’er, sister-in-law, why did you two come here?”
“Isn’t it because Sister Feng just got out? I wanted to take her out for a walk to get some fresh air.”
Zhang Can’er held Wan Feng’s hand and replied with a smile.
“Xiao Huan and I were thinking of looking for you. I didn’t expect to meet you. In that case, let’s get in the car. I’ve prepared a table for my sister-in-law to celebrate her recovery.”
“This… you have to ask Sister Feng if she agrees to go.”
Zhang Can’er was a little embarrassed. She looked at Wan Feng carefully.
Wan Feng had no expression, just nodded. “I agree.”
After all, it was Xiao Feng’s kind intention. She couldn’t just refuse it. Since she was willing to call her sister-in-law, she couldn’t be so disrespectful.
“Okay, then let’s get in the car.”
Xiao Feng waved her hand happily, pulled the two of them into the car, and Xiao Huan, who was following behind her, also smiled, her expression a little helpless.
When they arrived at the place, almost everyone was there. Zhuang Jiayuan and Ke Yajun had also been invited. The lineup was a bit large.
Zhang Can’er had thought it would just be a meal with Xiao Feng and the others. She hadn’t expected there to be several tables outside. At a glance, it was clear that Xiao Feng had specially invited them to have a lively time.
After the two of them sat down at the table, they greeted the others. Their table was the main table, in a private room. As long as they didn’t speak too loudly, the people outside wouldn’t be able to hear.
Zhang Can’er held Wan Feng’s hand and said in a gentle voice, “Eat more later. Let Xiao Feng bleed a little.”
“Mhm.”
Zhang Can’er sighed. “Sister Feng, don’t you have anything else to say?”
“I… I don’t know what else to say. Are you angry?” Wan Feng’s eyes were filled with a caution that Zhang Can’er could see clearly. She was a little puzzled.
“Why would I be angry?”
“I thought you were angry.”
“I’m not,” Zhang Can’er said, looking at Wan Feng with a gentle gaze.
