32 He Would Not Let It Pass! (1/2)
To be frank, Li Wei had thought of all the possibilities that could have happened—but he had never thought that his son would pick up a kitchen knife.
Was he plotting to murder his own father?! Oh my god, what kind of child had he raised?!
”You little rascal, what are you doing? Huh?!” Li Wei held onto the mop as he looked at Li Tianqi, shouting, ”Put the knife down, hurry! Put the knife down!”
At that moment, his wife was already crying in fear. Unlike her usual, composed self, she could not help but panic. She cried as she shouted, ”Tianqi, if something is bothering you, you can talk to me about it! Put the knife down!”
However, no matter how loud they shouted, Li Tianqi was unbothered. He carefully inspected the kitchen knife before reaching out and placing his hand on the chopping board…
Was he trying to chop off his hand?!
”Tianqi, we can talk things through,” Li Wei could not take it any longer. The boy was going to self-mutilate! He screamed, ”Don't do it! If you hurt yourself badly, I cannot guarantee a full recovery!”
Li Wei's wife was on the verge of fainting from anxiety—that was their only son!
Then, they saw Li Tianqi hold the kitchen knife in his right hand before gently making small cuts on either side of the index finger of his left hand.
The hearts of Li Tianqi's parents sank: it was over. He really was self-harming! Oh god, what could they do?!
They froze in shock. Li Tianqi had only made a tiny cut. In fact, it was just a minor cut on the surface of the skin. A single drop of blood slowly dripped from the wound. However, it was apparent that Li Tianqi had not felt any pain and was oblivious to the situation. He raised his hand to his face and inspected the wound on his finger.
Li Tianqi had a serious expression. His fingers were so close to his face that they almost touched his eyes.
After a while, he turned to look at his parents and laughed excitedly, ”Ha! Dad, mum! Hurry! Look! I have awakened!”
Awake—Awakened? Had their child Awakened?
Li Wei and his wife stared at each other. Was it real? They had gotten so worried—and the reason was that he had Awakened? Did he cut his fingers with a knife to check if he had really Awakened?!
”Really?! Quick! Let me have a look!” Li Wei immediately rushed over to grab Li Tianqi's left hand and examined it. The wound had fully healed, leaving behind a little trace of blood.
Li Wei was dumbfounded, ”You have really Awakened? The healing power—”
”My Awakening talent seems to be that of healing and strength,” Li Tianqi said as he withdrew his fingers. Then, he hugged the refrigerator with both hands and easily lifted it up. It was a double door refrigerator! Including the contents of the fridge, it must have weighed close to two hundred kilograms!
”Dad, look! I have Awakened!” Li Tianqi laughed happily. He put the fridge down, and said gleefully, ”Now you do not have to worry about me! I am an Awakener!”
Li Tianqi's mom nodded vigorously at the side, ”That's right! I knew that my son was different!”
Li Wei rubbed his chin as he looked at the mop in his hands. He turned his attention to his son, who was beaming with joy before slapping his thigh and sighing, ”Oh, I should have known this…”
Then, he pointed at his wife and shouted, ”As I said, you have always protected him, always sided with him! If I had beaten him earlier, wouldn't he have Awakened sooner?!”
