I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 681: Chapter 690: Watch Your Mouth, and Step Out With Your Legs

After cooking the porridge, Bai Zhi then started to work on a facial mask, combining egg, honey, flour, and medicine powder.

Only after mixing it into a paste did she check on the porridge, which was also ready.

Bai Zhi then put it into a thermal container, made a cucumber salad on the side and took them to the hospital.

Wu Wa and Bai Xin were standing guard by the side, not daring to leave for a moment. Bai Xin was stunned the moment she saw Bai Fei.

It had only been a month since she’d seen Bai Fei, but the change was so dramatic, she had lost so much weight she hardly looked human anymore.

“Uncle, I’m back.”

Bai Zhi, carrying the thermal container, walked in.

“Uncle, you all go back. I’ll watch over things here; after the IV tomorrow, we’ll go stay at your place.”

Now that they knew the outcome, there was no need to keep waiting here. Bai Fei was currently on an IV of nutrients and would have to slowly regain his strength.

“You alone at the hospital?”

Bai Xin frowned, how could she agree with two children staying at the hospital by themselves.

“It’s fine. I can handle it. Just believe me. You take Wu Wa back, and you can come replace me early tomorrow morning. Plus, you still need to cook for my uncle.”

Bai Zhi urged Bai Xin towards the door, and with Wu Wa who had been running around all day, surely tired.

“Okay, we’ll go ahead.”

Bai Xin understood her niece’s character and could only agree.

“Ah Zhi, we’ll go ahead now.”

Wu Wa nodded obediently. She realized that Ah Zhi wanted to talk to Bai Fei alone.

“Alright, go ahead.”

Bai Zhi smiled, escorted them to the door, then turned to face Bai Fei.

“Come on, eat.”

Bai Fei instinctively frowned when he heard the word “eat.” “I’m not hungry.”

It was not just hunger, he also felt like throwing up.

“Have a sniff first, it’s not food…”

As if Bai Zhi hadn’t heard him, she opened the thermal container, and the smell of medicine permeated the air, indeed not smelling of any food.

“What is this?” Bai Fei looked puzzled at Bai Zhi, not understanding.

“Your body is failing in many ways, it needs to recover, and do you still want your hair? I know you don’t like Chinese medicine, so I cooked you some porridge. Here, start with this candy…”

Bai Zhi took out a black pill and popped it straight into Bai Fei’s mouth.

The flavor of hawthorn spread in his mouth, along with other tastes that he could no longer distinguish. All he could tell was that there seemed to be hawthorn.

Sour and sweet, saliva was continually being secreted in his mouth, and he felt a little hungry as a result.

“I think I’m a bit hungry…”

Before, he had no appetite, feeling bloated at any time and not wanting to eat anything.

But now, he felt a bit hungry…

“Well then, eat. Do you want me to feed you?”

Bai Zhi served him a bowl, and Bai Fei shook his head hurriedly, “Not so much, I definitely can’t eat all that.”

Just looking at a bowl made him reject the idea, feeling each bite filled with a slow sense of guilt.

“Xingxing, you don’t know, the first thing my mom says now is always ’watch your mouth, move your legs.’”

Bai Zhi laughed out loud when she heard this, “I really can’t imagine this is the same auntie who used to chase after you telling you to eat more.”

Three years is a long time, and many changes are inevitable.

“That’s true. If you think it’s simple, you would think she’s become a completely different person. That presence, that demeanor, I feel like she’s got this air of being above it all.

Xingxing, I’m even a bit scared…”

Bai Fei initially had a smile, but her voice grew quieter towards the end.

“Scared of what? I am here.”

Bai Zhi took out the bowl for the facial mask and slowly began to mix it.

“Come on, eat…”

Bai Zhi noticed that as soon as Bai Fei started talking, she stopped eating.

Bai Fei awkwardly stuck out her tongue, embarrassed at being caught. She actually didn’t dare to eat, fearing the nauseating feeling that might come the moment she put food to her lips.

“Alright then.”

She began to scoop a spoonful to her mouth, not detecting any off-taste, and it seemed like she could eat it.

As she put it in her mouth, it was sour and sweet, with a hint of medicinal herbs.

Could she eat it?

One bite followed another, and as she continued to eat, she actually grew hungry.

Before long, she had finished the entire bowl and Bai Fei looked at it in surprise, beginning to regret it.

“Xingxing, I can’t believe I ate it all. How many calories did I just consume? Will it all turn into fat?”

She felt incredibly regretful, almost wanting to throw it all up.

“Calories, my foot. That’s medicine. Even if you turn into a rack of cured ribs, you’re worried about fat?”

Bai Zhi had already taken the bowl from her hands, “Lie down, I’ll apply a face mask for you. In a while, I’ll give you an acupuncture treatment so you can get some good rest. When was the last time you had a proper rest? You are nearly turning into a panda.”

Bai Zhi could hardly stand looking at her dark circles any longer.

Her eyes were sunken and appeared dull and lifeless.

The current Bai Fei didn’t look like a 14-year-old child at all.

“Okay, fine.”

She naturally trusted Bai Zhi completely, so she obediently lay down.

In fact, she didn’t feel quite so nauseous anymore, and being with Xingxing made it easier not to constantly think about her weight.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Bai Fei fell into a groggy sleep.

Bai Zhi applied the face mask to her and locked the door. Only then did she begin the acupuncture.

Bai Zhi took the Golden Needle and began to undress Bai Fei.

At that moment, her eyes grew a bit sore as she saw the skin on the stomach, which had already developed layer upon layer of peeling skin from burns.

It must have been burns from the so-called essential oils…

Even so, she persisted?

Bai Zhi felt a mix of frustration and disappointment as she started to locate the acupuncture points and inserted the needles one by one…

Bai Fei had a dream, but couldn’t recall what it was about; she just felt a warm comfort throughout her body as if lying in a cozy cotton bed, and wished it could go on forever.

Li Mo and Bai Xiang arrived home late at night. Bai Zhi had given Li Mo the keys, indicating that if Sisi’s condition wasn’t severe, there was no need to rush over.

Fortunately, he had the keys.

When Bai Xiang and Li Mo arrived, Sisi was still awake and in the middle of a meeting.

A dozen people were gathered, discussing the upcoming exchange meeting with great enthusiasm, insisting on taking a trip.

It was agreed they should take lots of photos to show everyone how successful they were.

Bai Xiang’s face turned somewhat ugly. “Mom, can you come out for a moment?”

Sisi frowned, displeased. This brat returned home in the dead of night and dared to show her attitude? Was he asking for a beating?

“Can’t you see I have things to discuss with the sisters? Sort out your own problems. You’re old enough anyway,”

With that, Sisi shut the door, leaving them locked out.

Sisters… Bai Xiang’s lips twitched. All of them were aunties from the village, and being asked to call them sisters felt like a total mess of seniority.

Bai Xiang exchanged glances with Li Mo, figuring there was probably nothing wrong besides feeling a bit hungry.

“Uncle, let’s go mooch some food at grandpa’s place.”

Li Mo nodded; a bit of embarrassment was nothing when faced with hunger.

…

Bai Fei woke up to find the sky already bright.

Lately, she had been waking up every hour, and it took a while to fall back asleep each time.

But today, she had slept dreamlessly through the night and woke up not feeling particularly tired but rather refreshed and invigorated.

“Xingxing, good morning.”

Bai Fei turned to Bai Zhi with a broad smile on her face.
