Chapter 1818: Chapter 1813: They’ve Gained Even More Weight

Hu Xiaobei glanced at Lin Ya, a playful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Soon, Hu Xiaobei jestingly said, "Speaking of which, are you afraid of needles? Is this thing really that scary?"

As he retorted, Hu Xiaobei continued to twist it with his fingers!

"It’s easy for you to say because you’re not afraid!"

At this point, Lin Ya suddenly said, "I don’t believe there’s nothing you’re afraid of."

Hearing her speak with indignation, Hu Xiaobei confidently responded, "Actually, there really isn’t!"

"You’re just boasting. I will pay attention from now on, and if I find something you’re afraid of, I’ll make sure you regret it."

"Haha, then you’ll probably have to search for a long time!"

Having said this, Hu Xiaobei twirled the silver needle in his hand again.

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei infused a trace of Nine Wood True Qi into it.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s continued actions, Lin Ya’s body tensed even more...

Right now, she resembled a taut longbow...

Feeling her tension, Hu Xiaobei laughed and said, "It’s not that scary! If you’re really afraid, just close your eyes."

"Okay!"

Seeing her obediently close her eyes, Hu Xiaobei smiled gently and quickly began treating her.

Knowing she was terrified of needles, Hu Xiaobei wasted no time.

After five minutes, Hu Xiaobei finished the treatment...

Looking at her twitching eyelashes, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, "Alright, you don’t need to keep your eyes closed anymore."

"What? It’s done? It’s really done?"

She stared at Hu Xiaobei in astonishment.

She thought it hadn’t even started because she didn’t feel any pain.

Glancing at her surprised expression, Hu Xiaobei’s lips slightly curled, "What? You want me to continue treating you?"

"No!"

Shaking her head vigorously, she subconsciously drew back her leg.

At this moment, she was delighted to realize it had completely regained feeling.

"Xiaobei, you’re amazing, such instant results!"

She looked at Hu Xiaobei, dumbfounded...

"This..."

Before Hu Xiaobei could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Sis, are you in there?"

Upon hearing Jing’s voice, Lin Ya couldn’t help but recall the earlier awkward moment.

Glaring at Hu Xiaobei with an exasperated roll of her eyes, she awkwardly replied, "Yes, I am. What’s up?"

"Nothing much, we just noticed you seemed unwell earlier, so we came to check on you!"

"We?"

Lin Ya widened her eyes in surprise!

"Yes, all of us are here now!"

"Got it, give me a moment!"

She hesitated and replied somewhat resignedly.

If it were just Jing, she could have sent her away, but now that everyone was here, she couldn’t have them leave.

"If you have things to do, I’ll get going! The Cao Ya we chased off earlier is probably looking for reinforcements now, and I need to go call for backup too."

Knowing it would be awkward if he stayed, Hu Xiaobei softly said.

"You little bastard, always finding excuses! Go on, then!"

"Hehe!"

With a laugh, Hu Xiaobei swiftly moved to the window.

The next moment, Hu Xiaobei jumped out directly.

Hu Xiaobei knew that leaving through the front door would definitely get him stopped, so to avoid awkwardness and trouble, exiting through the window was better.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei jump out, she glanced at her reflection in the mirror.

Then, quickly pulling up the quilt to cover herself, she softly said, "The door’s unlocked, you can come in directly!"

"Okay!"

Hearing the response, she looked towards the door and saw it being pushed open...

Soon, Lin Ya saw everyone file in.

Noticing their flushed cheeks, Lin Ya knew they must have just returned from the hot springs. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Recalling the danger she faced earlier, she quickly reminded, "Hot springs are comfortable to soak in, but you need to do so in moderation, okay?"

"We will!"

"I’m serious; before, I soaked for too long, and that’s why my old injury flared up. I couldn’t stand!"

"Is that really the reason?"

"What else then!"

"Haha, sis, we understand, you don’t need to explain so much to us!"

"Exactly! He’s our brother-in-law, it’s normal for something to happen between you two!"

"I..."

Hearing their words, Lin Ya helplessly rubbed her forehead.

She knew there was no way to clarify what happened earlier.

"Forget it, if I can’t explain it, there’s no point wasting words!"

She completely gave up on wanting to explain further.

Seeing Lin Ya say nothing further, they felt they had hit the mark, and she was just embarrassed!

With a gentle smile, they glanced around, "By the way, where’s our brother-in-law?"

"Yeah, where is he!"

"He had something to do and left earlier!"

"I see!"

...

"Achoo!"

Having walked a considerable distance, Hu Xiaobei sneezed several times!

Rubbing his nose gently, Hu Xiaobei murmured, "Seems like someone is talking about me! Wonder who it might be!"

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei took out his phone and quickly called Guo Meiyu in Xiaohe Village.

As soon as the call connected, he heard a disgruntled voice.

"Oh wow, some big shot finally has time to call me? I thought some big shot had long forgotten about me!"

Hearing this light-hearted tease, Hu Xiaobei realized that Guo Meiyu was a bit upset.

Glancing awkwardly into the distance, Hu Xiaobei spoke, "Sis-in-law, I’ve really been busy lately, but it’s mostly sorted out now!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei briefly recounted what had happened.

"Oh my, from what you say, you’ve really been through a lot lately!"

"Haven’t I?"

Hu Xiaobei spoke again, and after finishing, he changed the subject, "By the way, where’s Hei, Xiaobai, and that slacker rabbit?"

"They’re outside sunbathing! Life’s been pretty easy for them lately."

Hearing the response from the receiver, Hu Xiaobei imagined the scene and, rubbing his nose with a bitter smile, said, "I figured it would be like that! Just tell them I need their help, and have them come over!"

"You want them to help? Is something serious happening over there, Xiaobei?"

Detecting her tension, Hu Xiaobei quickly explained, "Sis-in-law, don’t worry, everything is under control! I just want them to come over to get some exercise; you know, they’ve been lazing around in the sun, getting fatter."

"That’s true!"

As she spoke, Guo Meiyu walked to the window, glanced at them lazily sunbathing, and noticed they seemed even plumper than the day before...
