Chapter 1871: This child, he's actually quite observant

Discovering Xie Wanyi staring at his clothes, Qin Yiyan offered a perfunctory explanation: "Well, the clothes got dirty, and your mother is helping me take care of it."

"Is that so?"

Xie Wanyi walked over calmly and said, "I thought you left suddenly because you were feeling unwell somewhere."

"Haha, no."

"It's good that you're not. I see there are wrinkles on your clothes; let me pat them out for you."

As he spoke, Xie Wanyi raised his hand, intending to pat Qin Yiyan's shoulder.

Qin Yiyan was startled and hurriedly called out, "No, no, no, don't touch there!"

Once these words were out, Qin Yiyan knew that Xie Wanyi had seen through everything.

Sigh, this kid is actually quite clever.

Qin Yiyan felt a bit helpless, and at the same time, he became curious: "How did you see that I had an injury on my shoulder?"

"Your shoulder on this side is tense, and you are keeping this half of your body away from me; this is clearly unconscious self-protection."

Qin Yiyan had been completely unaware of what Xie Wanyi was describing.

After hearing it, he thought about it and felt it made a lot of sense.

Qin Yiyan couldn't help but praise him: "Your observation is truly meticulous."

This compliment did not make Xie Wanyi smile.

He looked straight into Qin Yiyan's eyes and asked, "Why didn't you let me know that you were injured?"

"It's just a small matter; there was no need to mention it."

"But you are injured, and you call this a small matter?"

"Isn't your mother here? It's fine to just have it treated; don't worry."

Hearing this, Xie Wanyi was silent for a moment.

Then, he spoke in a low voice: "Isn't it natural for family members to be concerned about each other? You didn't let me worry because you thought... I wasn't qualified?"

"What kind of talk is that? How could you not be qualified?"

"Then you should have"

"told me, instead of hiding it!"

Qin Yiyan nodded, also feeling that he indeed shouldn't have...

Huh?

Why does it feel like I've been led in circles by Xie Wanyi?

Qin Yiyan looked up into Xie Wanyi's eyes and discovered that the child's gaze was deep and sorrowful.

In that moment of eye contact, Qin Yiyan was no longer thinking about being led in circles.

He only felt that he, as a father, had been inconsiderate and had hurt the child's feelings!

Sigh!

After a silent sigh, Qin Yiyan began to consider what to say to warm the child's heart.

But before he could think of anything, Liu Xin'ai spoke up and revealed the truth: "Your father didn't say anything because he felt embarrassed!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiyan immediately straightened his back, wanting to refute it.

But after thinking about it, he slumped his shoulders again.

When it came down to it, Qin Yiyan really had hidden the truth because he was afraid of being embarrassed.

As for why it was embarrassing...

Qin Yiyan sighed: "Back in my day, how could I have injured myself just by dropping a vase? Sigh, time spares no one."

"You were injured because you performed strenuous activity without warming up; it has nothing to do with your age. If a young person were in your place today, they would have just as high a probability of injuring themselves."

Xie Wanyi's explanation contained a fair amount of comfort.

Qin Yiyan could tell.

However, the reason he provided gave Qin Yiyan a chance to deceive himself.

Suddenly, he felt a bit better inside.

Xie Wanyi also suggested: "I have a lot of experience treating this kind of contusion; let me help you take care of it."

Qin Yiyan tilted his head slightly and asked in a relaxed tone: "Are you more skilled than your mother, who is a famous doctor?"

"I wouldn't dare claim to be more skilled, but long-term illness makes one a doctor; my methods are harsher and faster, but the results are also better."

Xie Wanyi's"

description made Qin Yiyan unable to feel relaxed anymore.

He decided he would rather have his wife help him.

But Liu Xin'ai had already smiled and stepped aside, gesturing for Xie Wanyi to stand over.

"Um, honey..."

Liu Xin'ai knew Qin Yiyan was worried.

But she trusted Xie Wanyi, so she interrupted Qin Yiyan: "Rest assured, Wanyi is indeed very capable when it comes to treating external injuries."

"Then... will it hurt?"

"You'll know once you try."

No, Qin Yiyan did not want to try!

Qin Yiyan wanted to switch back to Liu Xin'ai.

But Xie Wanyi had already rolled up his sleeves, his fingers resting lightly on Qin Yiyan's skin.

In this instant, Qin Yiyan felt so nervous.

He still remembered the pain he felt when Liu Xin'ai had accidentally touched the wound just a moment ago.

If this were Xie Wanyi instead...

What kind of noise would he make?

Qin Yiyan truly did not want to lose face in front of the child.

He was about to open his mouth to speak.

But he discovered that Xie Wanyi was poking here and shaking things there.

It didn't hurt, but it made one feel particularly uneasy.

Then, Xie Wanyi suddenly gave a push!

Only a "Crack!" was heard...

Qin Yiyan felt that he should be screaming right now!

However, why was there no pain at all?

He moved slightly twice and discovered that moving his arm didn't hurt either!

Was this... it was healed?

Qin Yiyan praised him with a look of pleasant surprise: "Wanyi, you are truly amazing!"

"There are many things I am amazing at; if you ever want to teach someone a lesson in the future, tell me, and I will help you vent your anger."

Xie Wanyi helped Qin Yiyan put on his clothes, his tone of voice very ordinary, as if they were just having a casual chat.

But Qin Yiyan sensed a hint within it.

Connecting it to the disturbance just now...

Qin Yiyan realized something.

He raised his eyes to look at Xie Wanyi, and in his eyes, he saw

a faint trace of hostility.

Xie Wanyi was restraining himself; as long as he received a word from Qin Yiyan, he would take action immediately.

A person like this had great decisiveness in action.

Yet Qin Yiyan began to feel anxious and conflicted.

He even began to let his imagination run wild.

After a moment of silence, Qin Yiyan spoke, saying tactfully: "Although I advocate for you to teach scoundrels a lesson, we must not do anything illegal."

Qin Yiyan suddenly understood the painstaking efforts of being a father.

He hoped for the child to be strong, yet worried about him going down the wrong path.

His heart was tangled back and forth.

In the end, the word "prudence" gained the upper hand.

After hearing this, Xie Wanyi responded: "I know, I will make the other party suffer both physically and mentally within the limits allowed by law."

Xie Wanyi wanted to put Qin Yiyan's mind at ease.

But his addition, far from putting Qin Yiyan at ease, instead made him feel a bit creeped out inside.

Liu Xin'ai was listening from the side, and the more she heard, the more wrong it felt.

In Liu Xin'ai's view, one should not waste time on people who are not worth it.

That was simply a waste of life.

Under this principle, Xie Wanyi's way of thinking was very dangerous and particularly prone to going to extremes.

Liu Xin'ai did not want to watch the child go down the wrong path, so she was about to speak.

But Qin Yiyan gripped her hand and patted it gently.

Liu Xin'ai turned her head to look over and saw Qin Yiyan wink at her.

This was a hint.

Qin Yiyan was silently telling her not to be too hasty.

Come to think of it, that was true.

They had only just confirmed their relationship with Xie Wanyi; managing him too much would easily make the child feel stifled.

But if they didn't manage him...

Liu Xin'ai frowned slightly and looked at Qin Yiyan again.

Then she discovered that Qin Yiyan was smiling at her with the corners of his lips curled up.

That smile seemed to have magic, miraculously smoothing out Liu Xin'ai's nervousness and unease.
