Chapter 10: Chapter 10: The Magic Grass! So Healthy!
After yesterday's matter was cleared up, Wen Chi suddenly felt much lighter.
However, he became curious about one thing.
"Why do you call me predestined one?"
Suisui's eyes widened in shock: (?Д?)!
Oh no! Why did she call him that out loud!
Her eyes rolled quickly as she racked her brains.
I'm a smart Suisui! I'm sure I can come up with a perfect explanation!
"You heard it wrong!" Suisui tried to defend herself stubbornly.
Unfortunately, Wen Chi had a good memory.
"You called it twice."
"Ah..." Suisui drew out the sound, thinking hard.
Seeing her in a difficult situation, Wen Chi was about to say "Forget it, no need to explain" when Suisui's eyes suddenly lit up like two small light bulbs: "Your foot is healed!"
Hey, this trick of diverting attention really worked.
Wen Chi's attention was immediately diverted. Although he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it in the first place.
"My foot?" Wen Chi crouched down halfway. Probably forgetting about his sprained ankle, he directly put his weight on the injured leg. To his surprise, the expected pain didn't come.
He stood up and walked back and forth a few times. His ankle was fine, as if it had never been injured.
Just overnight, was his self-healing ability so strong?
Soon, Suisui revealed the truth.
She patted her small chest proudly and said, "I told you! The magic grass soaked in water is very good for your health!"
"Magic grass?" Wen Chi immediately thought of the pile of weeds he had taken out of the supply bag yesterday. Well, they were weeds, right?
"You soaked those weeds... that grass in water for me to drink?"
Looking closely, one could notice that Wen Chi's complexion turned a little green.
Suisui obviously didn't know how to read people's expressions. At most, she could sense that Wen Chi was a bit strange. But since the emotion wasn't strong, she just pretended not to see it.
"Of course not!" Suisui showed off her exclusive secret recipe. "I crushed the grass and dripped the green juice into the water. Drinking it will make you heal faster! The small animals in Spring Mountain all love it!"
She opened her small hands, and there was still some light green grass juice on them.
Wen Chi:...
After a long silence, Wen Chi's complexion changed several times. Finally, he managed to squeeze out a word of comfort — Since the small animals could eat it, at least it meant it wasn't poisonous. So he probably didn't need to go to the hospital for gastric lavage... right?
"Thank you." These two words were really hard to say.
Suisui imitated what she saw on TV and patted Wen Chi's shoulder generously. "You're welcome. I'll often give it to you to drink in the future!"
This kind of grass was so hard to find. Only she, the omnipotent little ginseng spirit, could find it. How lucky the predestined one was. Many small animals wanted to eat it but couldn't!
It was clearly written on Suisui's face: This is your good fortune.
Wen Chi was almost convinced by her and almost believed that it was really magic grass.
Also, whether it was an illusion or psychological effect, although he had been sleepless all night, he didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he was full of energy and vitality, as if he had endless strength!
Could it really be because of that grass...
Wen Chi quickly shook his head to get rid of the deviated thought.
He looked down at his watch. It was 6:15. It was still early.
He didn't know why, but last night the program team didn't send anyone to pick up Suisui, and there was no notice either.
Were Suisui's parents so careless? Didn't they care that their child didn't go home?
Looking at the happily giggling Suisui, Wen Chi felt a bit strange.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to have breakfast?"
"Okay, okay!" Suisui nodded vigorously. Some broken grass leaves in her hair shook out and fell on the quilt.
Wen Chi then saw the suspicious mud stains on the snow-white bed. Although he had washed Suisui's face yesterday, it was obvious that she, who had rolled around in the mud, was much dirtier than just her face.
"... Can you take a bath by yourself?" Wen Chi's cleanliness obsession flared up again.
Suisui raised her head, her eyes wide open, looking very confused.
Ten minutes later, the bamboo curtain in the inner room was lowered, and the sound of splashing water could be heard faintly.
Wen Chi had boiled hot water and poured it into the washing basin, which was just the right size for the tiny Suisui.
Suisui had already forgotten Wen Chi's instructions and was only happily slapping the water with her small hands. The higher the water splashed and the louder the sound, the happier she was, and her eyes almost narrowed into a slit.
Outside the house, by the pool, Wen Chi was clumsily washing the just-removed sheets and quilt covers.
The bamboo curtain wasn't soundproof. Wen Chi, with his sharp ears, heard the sound of water and shouted, "Suisui! Stop playing with water!"
Suisui was having so much fun that she ignored him. Wen Chi almost had a breakdown when he thought of the mess inside the house.
"Suisui!!"
Finally, the "merciful" Miss Suisui was willing to spare some attention for her pitiful predestined one.
"Ah, okay." Suisui was a bit disappointed that she couldn't continue playing. She decided to go to the small pool in the mountains to have a great time another day. That place was much wider than this small basin, and there were small fish to swim with her!
Thinking like this, Suisui became happy again. She nimbly dived into the water, shook her head, and the mud and dust on her body disappeared instantly. The clear water turned muddy in the blink of an eye.
— Not getting dirty, this was another amazing skill of Suisui!
It was a pity that Suisui hadn't mastered it completely yet. When she grew up a bit more, even if she rolled around in the mud pit three hundred times, she would still come out clean!
Suisui was happily imagining it and also shook off the extra water drops like a little dog.
The original clothes couldn't be worn anymore. Wen Chi took out a new piece of clothing that he hadn't worn before. It was of the same series as his flamboyant flower-patterned clothes.
With Suisui's small body, only wearing the top and tying a small belt would make a perfect little skirt!
Against Suisui's fair and tender skin that seemed to be shining after washing, her cuteness level soared!
Suisui didn't know how to be modest at all. She ran out barefoot, "dada" sounding, and twirled around in front of Wen Chi. "Is my skirt pretty?"
"Pretty." Wen Chi praised sincerely.
At the same time, he also saw Suisui's small feet that had just been washed and were dirty again, as well as the messy floor inside the room...
The smile that had just started to spread froze again.
Then there was a flurry of busy work —
Hanging up the washed sheets and quilt covers;
Washing Suisui's feet;
Pouring out the dirty water;
Washing Suisui's feet again;
Wiping the floor;
Washing Suisui's feet again...
"Suisui, before I find shoes that you can wear, can you not step on the ground?"
"But I don't need shoes at all!" Suisui really didn't understand. The little ginseng spirit had been running around in the mountains all the time. When had she ever worn shoes? She had always been barefoot!
