180: Chapter 74: I Turned You into a Painting 180: Chapter 74: I Turned You into a Painting Lin Sisi, her hand suddenly gripped by him, couldn’t help but shiver a little, her cheeks instantly flushing red.
Zhang Xiaoman also realized what he had done and quickly withdrew his hand, his face sowhat embarrassed, though thankfully she couldn’t see his expression—or it would have felt even more awkward.
“Thank you…
Brother Xiao Man.
I will never forget your kindness…” Lin Sisi said with gratitude.
“Or you could just dedicate your life to as thanks.”
Zhang Xiaoman sohow blurted this out in his mind, thinking it seed like the kind of plot that would usually appear on TV at this point, right?
However, such thoughts should remain just that, thoughts.
If he actually said them aloud, it would be sowhat indecent.
By this ti, Lin Sisi’s emotions had cald slightly.
Her hand reached out for the bun at the very edge, but the mont she touched it, her expression suddenly changed.
“This…
this is so big?”
Zhang Xiaoman saw her astonishnt and laughed helplessly, “I can’t help it, there’s too much energy packed inside, it wouldn’t fit otherwise…”
He was just making this up, but Lin Sisi didn’t understand anyway, sparing him the effort of coming up with another excuse.
“Do I…
do I have to finish all of these…?”
Zhang Xiaoman gave an encouraging look, though she couldn’t see it, he felt she caught the mood.
“Yes, you need to eat them all!”
Lin Sisi’s face blanked for a mont, then took on a resolute and determined expression.
To see again, she was all in!
…
Ten minutes later.
“Whew~~”
Lin Sisi finally swallowed the last piece of the bun, patting her sowhat bloated belly, then relaxed completely, leaning back in the chair.
“How is it?
Do you feel anything?” Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help asking.
Lin Sisi blinked her bewildered eyes, but all she saw was darkness as before.
“No, nothing…
Just feeling very relaxed all over, like soaking in water, very comfortable…”
Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand in front of her eyes, asking, “How about now?
Can you see anything?
Is there any light?”
Lin Sisi shook her head, her tone tinged with panic, “I can’t see…
it’s still the sa as before…
Did I, did I miss a bun…?”
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the now empty stear basket, was silent for a mont, then said, “They’re all finished.
It might be that the bun needs ti to take effect, let’s wait a bit longer…”
He said that, but his heart sank.
Did the bun need ti to take effect?
It didn’t!
Based on past experiences, they were ant to provide instant relief.
He knew, maybe this ti he had really made a wrong judgnt.
Buns couldn’t cure eyes!
Half an hour later.
The two were still sitting in the chairs in the living room, but the atmosphere had beco sowhat heavier than before.
Zhang Xiaoman knew he had ssed up this ti; he clearly didn’t understand the application of buns well enough.
Thinking back to the previous tis the buns had taken effect, one was for treating Xiao Shun’s leg injury, another was to stop the bleeding for Bell, and even the Four-leaf Flower, which had similar effects to the buns, was once used to save the life of the Ye family boy.
However, when considering all their situations, they seed to have one thing in common.
Recovery!
Baozi had assisted people in treatnts a few tis before, all based on this characteristic of recovery.
Whether it was Xiao Shun’s leg injury, Bell’s bleeding, or Ye Fei’s crisis, they all had one common premise, that the wounds could heal themselves!
In other words, as long as they were not dead, even if Zhang Xiaoman did nothing, their wounds would recover on their own!
This ant that Baozi’s true function was not the treatnt he initially understood, but rather speeding up the body’s self-healing process!
Lin Sisi’s eyes, however, were not within this scope!
The little girl had been blind for more than a year, and such damage to the optic nerves was simply not sothing the body’s repair chanisms could heal themselves!
It was just like Ye Fei at that ti.
Although the Four-leaf Flower had stopped his bleeding, it had not helped him regrow an arm.
And even the ga from which Baozi originated had the sa setting; Baozi could only be used for recovering Qi-Blood, not for treating injuries!
After figuring these things out, Zhang Xiaoman had already understood where he had gone wrong this ti; it was ultimately because he didn’t sufficiently understand the Extraordinary Items produced by the System.
Not only had he wasted 5 points for nothing, but he had also given the little girl false hope and let her down as well as himself.
Since the matter was now clear, waiting any longer was aningless and only added to the sadness.
He simply spoke up and told Lin Sisi the result, to save her from waiting in vain.
“I’m sorry, I misjudged this ti.
The energy here can speed up the recovery of bodily functions, but for a permanent injury like yours, it cannot serve a therapeutic purpose…”
He was a bit reluctant to look at Lin Sisi’s expression now, knowing that a feeling of disillusionnt from great expectations must be very painful.
“No, it’s okay…
Brother Xiao Man, you don’t have to bla yourself, I’m already moved by how much you wanted to help .
I should be the one saying sorry for letting you waste such valuable resources…”
Lin Sisi quietly wiped away a couple of falling tears, forcing a smile she believed to be strong.
“By the way, I’ve been practicing blind drawing recently.
Just before you ca, I even made a drawing, let get it from my room, you can help check how it turned out.”
As she spoke, she began to walk slowly toward her bedroom.
Zhang Xiaoman watched her staggering figure, feeling deeply distressed himself.
“Brother Xiao Man, look, this is the drawing.”
Lin Sisi’s voice rose again, accompanied by her figure as she presented a drawing to him.
“This…
Is this in the drawing?”
Zhang Xiaoman was stunned for a mont when he saw the scene depicted in the drawing; the young man in it, smiling broadly, bore a striking resemblance to himself.
“Yes, what do you think?
Does it look like you?
Do you like it?” Lin Sisi asked eagerly, her face still streaked with dried tears.
A swell of emotion imdiately stirred in Zhang Xiaoman’s heart as he touched the drawing, a peculiar feeling spreading in his mind.
Uh-oh, that felt like a heart attack.
No, it was the feeling of Heart Movent.
“It’s very much like , you drew it so well, I really like it.
I can’t believe you managed to achieve this in such a short ti, amazing.”
He certainly wasn’t stingy with his praise.
Moreover, this was also exactly what he was feeling at the mont.
“Really?
I thought it might not look like you.
I’m so glad you like it!” the girl bead.
Zhang Xiaoman, seeing her expression, felt so relief as well.
He thought of reaching out to wipe away the tears by her eyes but halted halfway, his innate behavior as a ‘straightforward man’ making him retract the gesture instead.
However, as the thought of “wiping her eyes” crossed his mind, his thoughts suddenly connected to sothing else, and an idea erged, causing his eyes to light up.
“Perhaps, there is another thod we can try…”
