Chapter 166 Zhao Ji's Child

"Xiao Cha, do you know how Lao Ai and Zhao Ji's children died?"

Chen Yuan asked calmly, looking at Shen Xiao Ran, who he was holding in a princess carry.

"Hmph." Shen Xiao Ran hummed softly, then turned her head slightly, her mouth twitching, and muttered in a low voice, "Put me down."

This guy was too scary when he spoke.

She was just teasing him; why did he want to throw her to her death!

"So, how do you feel now?"

After putting Shen Xiao Ran down and making sure she stood steadily, Chen Yuan looked her up and down and asked seriously.

"Thanks to Yuan-shen, it's great!" Returning to the topic, Shen Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, looking at her feet, and said with emotion, "It's freedom."

Everyone has their own definition of freedom.

But because of their identities and circumstances, everyone's freedom is different.

Xia Xin Yu's freedom is no longer having the pressure of money, a stable future.

Zhou Fu's freedom is being able to obtain genuine friendship, free from the shackles of past misfortune.

Tang Siwen's freedom is... free Jiang-beef buns.

Chen Yuan's freedom is very simple—to punch the Earth and blow it up.

So, thinking about the freedom Shen Xiao Ran wanted, it was just to stand up and be able to take steps, even if only within a small space.

Well, with me around, you will gain freedom.

"Anything else? Any other uncomfortable feelings?" Chen Yuan continued to ask.

Shen Xiao Ran thought for a while and said, "My thighs, my knees, feel especially strained. Although my feet are much better, there's still a sense of incoordination."

That was natural.

Chen Yuan's rehabilitation method wasn't as scientific as that of the Senhai Rehabilitation Center, which rehabilitated each joint in sync. For example, that little boy's lower body was mostly in the sixties, with no severely weak areas.

But Shen Xiao Ran was like a forced sprout, improving some areas in advance without considering the whole.

But thinking that there wasn't much time today, Chen Yuan just squatted down, held his hand on Shen Xiao Ran's leg above the knee, gently pinched the flesh, checked the progress, and, after discovering the wear points, said, "Tell your mom to keep massaging here."

Looking down at Chen Yuan squatting in front of her skirt, Shen Xiao Ran nodded and said softly, "Okay."

"Now, focus on massaging and improving the symmetrical positions, and go to that rehabilitation facility for instrument treatment in between. After about a week, your body will have a noticeable improvement."

Although it was still around ninety percent, compared to before, when her body was almost maxed out and had little durability left, it had already improved a lot.

"Why do you sound like you're leaving soon…"

Sensing the atmosphere, Shen Xiao Ran was a little down and asked softly.

"I have classes tomorrow," Chen Yuan said with a smile.

What kind of good man comes home in the middle of the night every day?

"Then, then let my mom take you home," Shen Xiao Ran continued to plead.

"Don't trouble her, I'll take the bus."

"Um… wait!" Seeing that Chen Yuan was putting on his shoes and was about to leave, Shen Xiao Ran quickened her pace towards him.

"Hey, slow down!"

Seeing that this kid was about to fall again, Chen Yuan quickly went to meet her.

And she, like a tree that had been chopped down, fell directly on him.

Then, she grabbed his arm tightly for support.

Luckily, she didn't fall.

"Brother." Leaning against Chen Yuan, Shen Xiao Ran grabbed his arm and suddenly said with a sunny expression, "Take me out to play."

"Be good, Xiao Shen, you've been too greedy for fun today."

"No, I mean…" Shen Xiao Ran explained, "Push me downstairs, and then we can stroll around outside for a bit, have something nice to eat, and then Mom can drive over and take you back. That wouldn't take too long, right?"

What she said made sense to Chen Yuan.

Her mom would be back soon, and she could take him back with her.

"Alright, Xiao Shen's going out."

The child was already begging like this, and Chen Yuan wasn't a monster, so of course he agreed.

"Wait a minute."

Just before leaving, Shen Xiao Ran suddenly spoke.

Then, she slowly walked back to her room.

After a long while, she came out mysteriously.

So, he saw that she was wearing a pure white beret. And she also had a cute little ladies' bag slung across her body.

"You didn't seem to wear a hat when you were blowing the wind by the river before," Chen Yuan said, feeling quite curious.

"You pay so much attention to me?" Shen Xiao Ran asked with a mischievous smile.

"If you keep talking like that, I'm going to tell your dad."

"Don't! He's a daughter-con!" Shen Xiao Ran quickly stopped him, hoping that Chen Yuan wouldn't be foolish.

It was secondary if her dad found out they were being broken up.

The important thing was that Chen Yuan would get beaten up!

"This…" Shen Xiao Ran had always found it difficult to face this memory directly, but because she was getting better, it didn't count as opening an old wound, and she said with a light smile, "This was a gift my mom gave me before my legs broke, saying that we should wear it when we go on outings and take lots of pretty pictures. But then, there was never a chance…"

Her personality had completely changed, becoming cheerful and genuine.

That's right, no child of this age was so aloof, like an iceberg, keeping people at arm's length.

"Rehabilitate well, and I'll take you to play ball later."

A hopeful life is made up of countless goals.

Because life is moving forward, she would happily accept and remember such words, which sounded a little hurtful, and keep looking forward to them.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Shen Xiao Ran had always been a little worried.

Would Chen Yuan, who possessed the power of a god, treat her as a dungeon, and after brushing past her, move on to the next dungeon and leave her here?

After all, he didn't seem lonely at all.

His side must also be full of interesting people.

But, I might be a little special.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have directly said that he possessed infinite divine powers in her dream.

Because she was a little kid, she could become someone he could share certain emotions and secrets with.

If that's the case…

Mr. Chen Yuan, I'm more than happy to help.

"Then, let's go."

Chen Yuan pushed out the wheelchair, and Shen Xiao Ran sat on it.

The two of them left the house, took the elevator, left the community, and went to a nearby street.

"Have you been here before?" Shen Xiao Ran asked with a smile.

"No." Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "There's also an old street in the Sunshine Community; I usually hang out there."

This street was outside the shopping mall, and it looked disgustingly expensive, so Chen Yuan had no intention of spending any money there.

However, there were really a lot of girls here.

"Huh, why are there so many people at this claw machine arcade today?"

Just as they were passing by a claw machine arcade, Shen Xiao Ran felt quite puzzled.

"Want to take a look inside?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Okay." Shen Xiao Ran giggled, quite proudly flexing her biceps, even though her soft, white arms didn't have much muscle, you could still see that this guy was arrogant, "I'm a recognized doll killer."

"Recognized by whom?"

"My mom and dad."

"Then let's see how good you are."

Chen Yuan slowly pushed her into the store.

And seeing a disabled child, the customers in the store all voluntarily made way.

Then, after going to the hat-wearing clerk, the two of them simultaneously looked up and saw a huge pink doll.

Chen Yuan recognized it: "Isn't this Nabeel?"

"Because we are officially licensed Disney figures, you don't need to worry about that here," the clerk said with great confidence.
