Surviving the apocalypse with a wife and a system! [GL] Chapter 147: Bai Li, cold

Had her little dumpling really been bribed with a bag of snacks this easily? The answer was clearly yes. She moved a chair a little closer so she could keep an eye on everything and also because she was still half worried her daughter might get embarrassed by how quickly the child had attached herself to Bai Li. But what could she do? The snacks had done their work. Children were simple in so ways and terrifyingly effective in others. Yan Laojin watched the whole thing and frowned in a mild, amused way, then said nothing for the mont because Bai Li had already shown enough patience to deserve a little trust.

Yan Laojin watched the whole ti, stunned. Had her little dumpling been bribed with a bag of snacks? She was a little worried about her growing up and being easily swayed and moved a chair over to watch.

"Wait a minute, I’ll go get the first aid kit," Yan Cijin said with a smile to Bai Li.

"Okay, thank you." Bai Li thanked her politely again.

That sentence ca out almost automatically from Bai Li now. She had a habit of being polite even when she did not need to overdo it, and Yan Cijin noticed that. The little girl, anwhile, had noticed the gauze on Bai Li’s hand and had already leaned over to inspect it with serious interest. Children often beca very curious the mont they saw anything wrapped, bandaged, or different from normal. Lili had no real idea what a wound looked like in detail, but she knew enough to ask. Bai Li answered gently and did not make her feel silly for asking.

The little girl saw that Bai Li had gauze on her hand and leaned over to look at her sweetly, "Auntie, what happened to your hand?"

"It’s just a minor cut, nothing serious." Bai Li smiled at the little one; the little dumpling was really adorable.

That answer made the little girl’s whole face change with sympathy. She imdiately decided that the best thing she could do was help the way her mother helped her. So when Bai Li was sitting there, Lili leaned in close and announced that she would blow on the wound to make it feel better. It was such a tiny gesture, but it was so sincere that even Bai Li’s eyes softened in surprise. She had not expected such a small child to think of that on her own. It was the sort of thing that only ca naturally to a child who had seen care in the ho and wanted to copy it.

"Ah! Then I’ll blow on it for Auntie and it won’t hurt anymore. Last ti I fell, Mommy blew on it for , and it didn’t hurt as much." The little dumpling said, bringing her face close to Bai Li’s hand and gently blowing on it with her little lips.

Bai Li looked at the little girl in a way that was both surprised and a little amused. Then she gave her a soft smile, and the corner of her mouth curved in a way that felt much warr than her usual expression. "Okay," she said, "thank you, Lili, I feel much better now." That was enough for the little girl to beco even more motivated. She took the response seriously, like this was a real job she had just been assigned, and she blew on the wound a few more tis with earnest concentration. Her tiny lips puckered and she made little focused faces as if she were performing a very important dical procedure. Yan Cijin ca back at exactly that mont and saw the scene, which made her laugh before she could stop herself.

Bai Li’s eyes crinkled; she hadn’t expected Dr. Yan’s little dumpling to be so thoughtful. "Okay, thank you, LiLi, I feel much better now."

"Mmm!" Hearing Bai Li say this, the little one thought she couldn’t let her baby drink go to waste for nothing, so she had to blow on it for her auntie a few more tis.

Yan Cijin ca out of the room with the first aid kit and saw the little dumpling blowing on Bai Li’s wound. She was amused by the little one: "What are you doing?"

"Mommy, I’m blowing on Auntie’s wound, blowing on it will make Auntie feel better." The little dumpling explained.

"Okay, our LiLi is the best girl. Go play with Grandma first, and then I’ll change your auntie’s dressing later, and then you can co back." Bai Li’s wound was quite serious, and Yan Cijin was afraid that the little one would be frightened.

That explanation was so earnestly delivered that Yan Cijin could only smile and accept it. She did not want to discourage the child either. Lili was just being good in her own little way. So Yan Cijin told her to go play with Grandma first and promised that after the dressing was done, she could co back. Lili still looked worried at first, but when she was reassured that Bai Li was strong, she finally relaxed a bit and returned to Yan Laojin with her drink still clutched in both hands.

"But if I don’t blow on Auntie’s wound, it will hurt her." The little dumpling said worriedly.

"No, don’t worry, LiLi, I’m very strong. Go play with Grandma, and Auntie will play with you later." Bai Li gently comforted the little one.

The little one pouted and took a sip of Wahaha, "Okay then, I’ll blow on Auntie’s wound later."

"Okay, go ahead." Bai Li said with a smile.

The little girl then got down and went to find Yan Laojin with Wahaha in her arms.

Yan Laojin had watched all of this and was beginning to feel slightly dazed. This was not at all the picture she had been prepared for after reading all those horrible things in the group chat. Bai Li was supposed to be scary. Dangerous. Cold.
