Chapter 1760: Test

~4 min read 687 words

The speaker meant it lightly, but the listener took it to heart; Liu Chuxue and Fu Yan Cheng, who had just arrived, exchanged a glance, both feeling a chill of alarm.

Liu Chuxue spoke first: "Let's go back and eat first."

They entered the room and saw Auntie Wei busily serving them rice: "We didn't know when you'd be back, so we ate first."

Her hands didn't stop moving as she looked up at Liu Chuxue: "How is your mother-in-law doing?"

While washing her hands, Liu Chuxue replied: "A fractured lower leg and some injury to the waist; she needs to stay in the hospital for a few days, and if all goes well, she'll come home to recuperate."

While serving them rice, Auntie Wei said: "That's good, that's good."

After the meal, Liu Chuxue carried Kang Bao back into the room: "Kang Bao, tell Mom what you can hear right now."

Kang Bao didn't reply, but kissed Liu Chuxue on the cheek, then buried his head in his mother's arms: "Miss Mom."

Liu Chuxue immediately understood: "So Kang Bao has been listening intently to the sounds outside, hasn't he?"

Kang Bao nodded: "Mm."

Liu Chuxue hugged the little one tightly and coaxed: "Then let's play a game, okay? In a moment, Mom will ask Dad to go out; you listen carefully and see if you can hear Dad's footsteps. Can you do it?"

Hearing it was a game, Kang Bao looked up, smiling to reveal eight little white teeth; feeling that Mom and Dad were playing only with him, he was overjoyed and nodded heavily: "Okay."

Liu Chuxue looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "Go a bit farther, use the flashlight as a signal; flash once and stop, and remember the spot."

Fu Yan Cheng nodded, went out of the courtyard, and walked a bit farther away.

He also held a flashlight; after getting ready, he flashed it twice before turning back.

Liu Chuxue looked at Kang Bao: "It's starting; you must listen carefully."

Fu Yan Cheng hadn't taken a few steps before Kang Bao laughed: "I heard it; it's Dad's footsteps."

Liu Chuxue quickly flashed the flashlight once.

Fu Yan Cheng walked over, face full of excitement: "It must have been over a hundred meters away."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue had her answer; she looked down at her son: "Kang Bao, this is a secret between Mom, Dad, and Kang Bao, okay? Don't use it casually, and don't tell anyone. All right?"

Kang Bao was very happy; he, who was usually quiet, suddenly became talkative: "Okay, a secret between Mom, Dad, and Kang Bao; Kang Bao likes it."

After coaxing the triplets to sleep, Fu Yan Cheng kissed Liu Chuxue in his arms: "Wife, if our Kang Bao's physical fitness meets the standard when he grows up, he'll be great material for the army."

Liu Chuxue leaned closer into his arms: "Let's just keep this between us and not tell others; as for whether he'll join the army when he grows up, we'll see what he wants."

Fu Yan Cheng understood Liu Chuxue's meaning: "Don't worry; I certainly won't force him to do anything. I just think that if this hearing ability can be maintained, he could achieve great things as a soldier in the future."

As they spoke, Fu Yan Cheng suddenly mentioned Liu Laosan and his wife: "Earlier, I was waiting at the hospital entrance for Kong Yizhang to send a wheelchair, and I overheard two nurses saying a couple was arguing about divorcing.

At first, I thought it was just entertainment, but the more I listened, the more it sounded like Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law."

Hearing him say this, Liu Chuxue was stunned for a moment; after a while, she spoke: "Xiao Wan also said today that she noticed something was off with them; could these two really have problems?"

Fu Yan Cheng held the person in his arms a bit tighter: "It's hard to say about this matter."

Meanwhile, the two people they were discussing both wore grim faces: "Yan Hong, are you serious? Do you really want to divorce me?"
