Chapter 3: Father, where is your wound
Thus, he claims to be a master chef, and he is not exaggerating; at least the combined skills of ten athletes do not measure up to his ability to fill the gaps between his teeth
All overweight individuals share a common characteristic: they tend to be gluttonous
Well! This time I will definitely be careful
This is where his strengths lie
She fumbled for nearly a minute before tearing it open again, trembling as she slowly brought the adhesive bandage to Shen Chong's fingertips
Although I have not learned about Lin Zhishu's life, he must be a very busy person
Shen Chong narrowed his eyes sharply, bringing his left index finger close to his eyes for a careful examination, even using his right hand to rub off the small amount of white powder that was still stuck to it
Shen Chong quickly withdrew his hand, or else the blood would splatter onto her beautiful clothes
After coaxing for a few more minutes, he finally managed to settle his precious daughter. Shen Chong returned to the stove with a head full of questions
When he took out his left index finger again, both he and the excited Xin Xin, who was holding up the band-aid, were stunned
At least in terms of cooking skills, I can confidently say that I surpass you by more than eight streets
However, Xinxin mentioned that her mother seems to never cook, which is quite normal for a strong woman
Dad, you are really mischievous, scaring Xin Xin, humph! I won't pay attention to you anymore
Even if it truly heals, there should be a scar left, shouldn't there
The poor little girl was about to cry again in her anxiety
So this is the additional ability that came with my rebirth
Brother, go in peace
While slicing potatoes, Shen Chong, a skilled chef, became somewhat distracted and made a basic mistake, accidentally cutting his left index finger with the knife
It's nothing, just a small wound. Dad will put on a band-aid and it will be fine. Be careful with the kitchen knife, be careful with your clothes. Xinxin, you should go put on your shoes first, don't let your feet get cold.
As a result, her hand trembled, and the adhesive part directly stuck to the wound on Shen Chong covered with white powder.
Ah! Father, you are injured
Children eat differently from adults; on one hand, they require a regular schedule, and on the other hand, children grow rapidly and expend energy quickly
As a result, he has misled again
A living ghost
To his surprise, he did not remain silent, saying, "Xinxin, look, Daddy is no longer bleeding. Let's put on the band-aid again, and in a few days, it will be fine."
Then the problem can only lie within oneself
The ingredients are all very fresh, having been purchased just last night
Dad can cook by himself! Is he a master chef? Mom never cooks.
He gasped in surprise
Only after Xingxin tore open another side did Shen Chong finally remove the used adhesive bandage that had stuck to the wound behind him
In the previous moment, Xin Xin, who was lively and energetic, suddenly lost all her strength, frightening Shen Chong to the point of losing his senses
I have a bold idea
Shen Chong was still in a daze, but Xin Xin asked the question first
The index finger of the left hand is perfectly intact, with no wounds whatsoever, and there are no signs of scabbing
Shen Chong twisted open the disinfectant with one hand, then used a cotton swab to dab and wipe. It was somewhat stinging, but listening to Xin Xin talk made him feel quite pleased.
He glanced at the gleaming kitchen knife in his right hand and licked his lips
He glanced at his left index finger, then at the kitchen knife in his right hand still stained with a bit of blood, and then at the several drops of bright red blood dripping in the trash can, still feeling dazed
I am also someone who has died once; I will cherish this life well
Since she arrived, she has not had a moment's peace, not even drinking a sip of water, let alone eating anything. By now, she should have completely consumed what she had for lunch.
However, since the bleeding has already stopped, Shen Chong is not in a hurry
Fortunately, they are children, easy to coax. If it were an adult encountering such a situation, they would likely have already called the police.
Seeing her in such high spirits, Shen Chong simply handed her the adhesive bandage and instructed, "First, tear off one side of the adhesive, then align the middle part that does not stick with the wound."
Fortunately, he withdrew the knife in time; otherwise, he would have lost a finger. However, he still managed to cut a long incision of one centimeter in length and two to three millimeters in depth on the tip of his finger
Isn't the golden sore medicine in martial arts novels a bit exaggerated?
She reached out to grasp Shen Chong's hand
The two of them played around for a while, and before they knew it, the time had reached 5:30.
Hiss
Xin Xin became excited again
But this is too unfair to the children; they are already five years old. Have they really never eaten the dishes made by their mother's own hands
Shen Chong awkwardly scratched his head and laughed
What exactly is going on
She kept asking, "Daddy, does it hurt? If not, let's go to the hospital. Aunt Jiang said the doctors in the hospital are the best and can cure any illness."
Xinxin opened her eyes wide and saw that there was indeed no blood; "It's true, Dad didn't lie to me, that's amazing!"
Dad, where is your wound? Is it this finger that you just injured?
Extraordinary self-healing ability
It is not a big deal; my father has suffered injuries much more severe than this in the past, and he was fine.
Open the bedside cabinet, where disinfectant, Yunnan Baiyao, gauze, and adhesive bandages are neatly arranged
Haha, haha. Xinxin, Dad actually isn't hurt; I was just performing a magic trick for you and joking around. Hahaha
Is Baidu Powder too miraculous
Shen Chong, sensing that the situation was not good, quickly hid his left hand behind his back and took out a new band-aid with his right hand. "Xinxin, don't cry, it's fine, Daddy is not hurt, let's put it on again. But this time, we need to be careful"
Dad, Xinxin is hungry
The blood bead then began to ooze out from the opening, quickly swelling to the size of a mung bean, and then it started to flow down along the fingertip.
Shen Chong smiled proudly, "That's right, Dad is a master chef!"
Shen Chong quickly withdrew his hand, as he could not allow blood to fall onto the shredded potatoes
When the daughter loses track of time, it's one thing, but the father himself is also foolishly joining in the chaos
The mediocre fat man relies on others to feed him, and even a mere cook from a humble eatery can satisfy him
After all, every previous gathering outside was brief; it is indeed the first time that Xin Xin has moved into the house.
Xinxin, please have a sip of water first, then watch cartoons on the bed. Daddy will go prepare dinner for you, and you will be able to eat dinner soon, alright
The flavor achieved through the heavy use of monosodium glutamate in restaurants is merely akin to chewing on wood in the mouths of the top gourmets, lacking sophistication
At just five years old, Xinxin is somewhat clumsy, and Shen Chong's reminders are of little use, as she decisively sticks the adhesive of the band-aid together
Xinxin, who was watching television over there, heard the sound of Shen Chong inhaling. She stood up from the bed, stretched her neck, and looked over this way, immediately noticing Shen Chong's fingertips, which were bleeding.
He skeptically rubbed the previously injured area of his left thumb vigorously, and indeed felt no sensation whatsoever
I am not very clear about Xinxin's taste, so I will prepare a universally appealing dish of stir-fried shredded pork with potatoes, sautéed asparagus shoots, and also make a steamed egg.
There is no such miraculous effect in my memory
How great is the quantity of your tears, is it endless?
Daughters are indeed made of water!
Wouldn't that mean missing out on very important memories as one grows up
If it weren't for the traces of dried blood still present in the crevices of his nails, he might even think that the previous injury was merely an illusion
scratching one's head
He quickly applied the white powder to himself, and within thirty seconds of applying the powder, the bleeding surprisingly stopped completely.
Strangely, he had thought that such a struggle would be very painful, even to the point of reopening the wound, yet he felt absolutely nothing.
Shen Chong raised his left hand and walked towards the bedside
The somewhat dull individual must have imagined more than once the scene of happily enjoying the dishes they prepared themselves while buying these ingredients
Top-tier individuals often become self-reliant, as they have developed a taste for fine dining and a sense of sophistication in their culinary choices
Shen Chong, as a top-tier homebody, has gained weight due to external factors such as a lack of physical activity, and internal factors like his own cooking being too delicious, which contributes to his weight gain
Only when his precious daughter actively revealed the reason did Shen Chong feel an overwhelming urge to hit his own head
Shen Chong simply wanted to seal his own mouth with duct tape; my reverse parenting skills are likely to reach new heights
Ah, that's how it is! Huh? Why did you tear both sides at once? Never mind, just be careful with your movements, okay? Oh no, it's already gotten stuck.
My precious daughter started to cry out of heartache, "You have lost so much blood, and it's so much more serious, how painful must that be?"
Shen Chong chuckled and took out a band-aid from the side, preparing to tear off the adhesive with his left ring finger. However, Xin Xin excitedly said, "Dad, Dad, let me help you put it on."
The wound has just been cut so deep, has it only been a few minutes since then
As a retired fighter who maintains a high-intensity training regimen, he has a well-stocked supply of sports injury medications at home
Xin Xin still wasn't wearing shoes, while Shen Chong was preparing medicine with one hand. She sat on the edge of the bed, holding her heart with both hands, her eyes wide open, feeling extremely nervous
As for hydrogen peroxide disinfectant and adhesive bandages, it is even less likely.
However, he can no longer feel this sense of happiness that solely belongs to a father
Xin Xin truly believed that Shen Chong was performing magic for him, but he was a bit annoyed. He threw the band-aid in his hand into the trash can, turned around, and stared intently at the television, ignoring him.
He repeatedly confirmed in his heart that the white powder was nothing more than ordinary goods purchased at a convenience pharmacy, not blessed by a master, and had been used more than once before; it could not possibly be a miraculous medicine
The precious daughter hurriedly threw the remote control onto the bed, not even bothering to put on her shoes, and ran over barefoot with a thud, more anxious than the injured person herself
Is the effect of the white medicine in this world so strong
However, the ingredients left by the athlete Shen Chong are quite abundant, including lean meat, potatoes, celery, asparagus lettuce, and eggs, all set to go
Is the bleeding stopped so quickly
