After yesterday's matter was cleared up, Wen Chi suddenly felt relaxed.
However, he noticed something.
"Why do you call me the predestined one?"
Sui Sui's eyes widened: (?Д?)!
Oh no!
How could she have called out this name!
Sui Sui's eyes blinked quickly as her little brain worked at full speed.
She was the clever Sui Sui!
The clever Sui Sui would surely come up with the perfect reason!
"You heard wrong!"
Sui Sui tried to argue forcefully.
Unexpectedly, Wen Chi had a good memory.
"You called it twice."
"Ah..."
Sui Sui lengthened her tone, racking her brains.
Seeing her in a difficult situation, Wen Chi was about to say "Forget it, no need to explain".
Suddenly, Sui Sui's eyes lit up like two small light bulbs!
"Your foot is healed!"
——Sui Sui's trick of diverting attention was really good!
Indeed, Wen Chi's attention was immediately diverted.
Although he didn't intend to pursue it with Sui Sui in the first place.
"My foot?"
When Wen Chi crouched down halfway, perhaps he forgot about his sprained ankle and directly put his weight on the injured leg. However, the expected pain didn't appear at all.
To verify, Wen Chi deliberately stood up and walked back and forth several times.
His ankle was fine, as if it had never been injured.
Just overnight.
Was his self-healing ability so strong?
Soon, Sui Sui told Wen Chi the truth.
Sui Sui patted her chest proudly:
"I told you! Soaking the magic grass in water is good for your health!"
"Magic grass?"
Wen Chi immediately thought of the pile of weeds he had taken out of the supply bag yesterday.
Weeds, well, they were indeed weeds, right?
"Did you soak the we... that grass in water for me to drink?"
Looking closely, one could notice that Wen Chi's complexion turned a little green.
Sui Sui obviously didn't know how to read people's expressions. At most, she could sense that something was strange about the predestined one.
Since the emotion wasn't strong, Sui Sui pretended not to see it.
"Of course not!" Sui Sui shared her exclusive secret recipe with Wen Chi triumphantly, "I crushed the grass and dropped the green juice into the water. Drinking it like this will make you heal faster! The little animals in Chunshan all said it was good!"
She opened her small hands, and there was still some light green grass juice on them.
Wen Chi:...
Silence, a long silence.
Wen Chi's complexion changed constantly in the silence.
Finally, he comforted himself ——
If the little animals could eat it, at least it meant it was not poisonous.
So he probably didn't need to go to the hospital for gastric lavage... right?
"Thank you."
These two words came out of his mouth with great difficulty.
Sui Sui imitated the little people 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 little animals wanted to eat it but couldn't!
It was clearly written on Sui Sui's face: This is your good fortune.
Wen Chi was almost fooled by this look and almost believed that it was really useful magic grass.
Moreover, whether it was an illusion or a psychological effect.
His body didn't feel exhausted at all because of insomnia. Instead, it was full of energy, as if he had endless strength!
Could it really be because of that grass...
Wen Chi quickly shook his head to pull back his distracted thoughts.
He looked down at his watch to avoid Sui Sui's enthusiastic eyes.
Well, it was six fifteen. It was still early.
For some reason, last night the program team didn't come to pick up Sui Sui, and there was no relevant notice.
Were Sui Sui's parents so careless? Didn't they care that their child didn't go home?
Looking at the happily giggling Sui Sui, Wen Chi seemed to be touched by something.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to have breakfast?"
"Yes, yes!"
Sui Sui nodded vigorously, and the small pieces of grass hidden in her hair shook out and fell on the quilt.
Wen Chi then saw the suspicious mud patches on the snow-white quilt.
Yesterday, he did wash Sui Sui's face, but obviously, Sui Sui, who had rolled in the mud, was not just a little dirty.
"... Can you take a bath by yourself?"
Wen Chi's obsession with cleanliness resurfaced.
Sui Sui raised her head, her eyes wide open with confusion.
Ten minutes later.
The bamboo curtain in the inner room was lowered, and the sound of splashing water could be faintly heard.
Wen Chi specially boiled hot water and poured it into the basin used for washing clothes. The size was just right for Sui Sui, the little one.
Sui Sui had obviously forgotten Wen Chi's instructions and was only happily patting the water with her small hands.
The higher the water splashed and the louder the sound, the happier she laughed, and her eyes almost narrowed into a slit.
Outside by the pool, Wen Chi was clumsily and laboriously washing the newly removed sheets and quilt covers.
The bamboo curtain didn't insulate sound well, and Wen Chi's ears accurately caught the sound of water.
"Sui Sui! Don't play with water!"
Sui Sui was having so much fun that she ignored his shout.
Thinking of the mess in the room, Wen Chi almost broke down.
"Sui Sui!!"
The merciful Sui Sui finally deigned to give some attention to her poor predestined one.
"Ah, okay."
Sui Sui was sorry that she couldn't continue playing with water and decided to go to the small pool in the mountains to have a good time another day!
It was much wider than this small basin, and there were many small fish to swim with her!
Thinking like this, Sui Sui 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.
——Being unstained by dust was another amazing skill of Sui Sui!
Unfortunately, Sui Sui hadn't mastered it completely yet.
When she grew up a little more, even if she rolled three hundred times in a small mud pit, she would still come out clean, without any mud!
That would really be the essential skill for jumping in mud pits!
Sui Sui happily imagined and shook off the extra water droplets on her body like a little dog.
The original clothes couldn't be worn anymore, and Wen Chi brought her a new, unworn shirt of his own, which was from the same series as his colorful flowered clothes.
For Sui Sui, with her small, three-head-height body, just wearing the shirt and tying a small belt would make a perfect little dress!
Against Sui Sui's freshly washed, glowing skin, her cuteness level soared!
Sui Sui obviously didn't know modesty.
She ran out of the house barefoot, "dada" and stood in front of Wen Chi, twirling around narcissistically:
"Does my dress look nice?"
"Nice."
Honest Wen Chi praised from the bottom of his heart.
At the same time.
He also saw Sui Sui's newly washed but dirty feet again and the messy water all over the floor in the inner room...
The smile that was just about to spread froze bit by bit.
So, there was a flurry of activity ——
Hanging up the washed sheets and quilt covers;
Washing Sui Sui's feet;
Pouring out the dirty water in the basin;
Washing Sui Sui's feet again;
Wiping up the water spilled on the floor;
Washing Sui Sui's feet once more...
"Sui Sui, before I find shoes that you can wear, can you please not step on the ground?"
"But I don't need shoes at all!"
Sui Sui was truly puzzled.
The little ginseng spirit had run all over the mountains. When had she ever worn shoes? She had always been barefoot!
