CHAPTER 242 (2/2)

What was he? He thought about his voice and then eating grains…

Xie Xi couldn’t help saying, “ A bird?” His voice was still a chirp and sounded fierce.

The man seemed to think he was hungry and the man’s actions became a bit anxious. “I’ll get it for you straight away…”

Xie Xi wasn’t hungry at all. He was just too shocked!

The man wobbled. His urgency made him more unstable and he seemed like he would fall.

Xie Xi was really afraid this person would fall but he was a silly bird in a cage. What could he do?

He could only rely on the god’s wisdom!

Xie Xi was dumbfounded when he called out the god’s wisdom and sketch pen.

Was this his sketch pen? It was so long and thick?

Xie Xi tried to use his short wings to hold the pen…

He was almost crushed to death by the pen.

Xie Xi was helpless. ‘This gentleman who looks like Jiang Xie, I really can’t help you.’

Fortunately, the door opened at this time and a young man rushed to help the man who was about to fall. “Dad, why did you get out of bed?”

Despite not seeing the face, Xie Xi heard this voice and was certain that this young man was Jiang Xie!

He hurried to look but could only see Jiang Xie’s back.

Cancer was very young, probably younger than his appearance in the light group. He seemed to be 17 or 18.

He was tall and strong, forming a sharp contrast to the thin man next to him.

The man coughed softly and said, “I’m fine. Little Chirp is hungry so please feed it.”

Jiang Xie didn’t look back and only helped the man. “Go back to bed and rest first. Hand over everything else to me.”

He settled the man into bed and tested the temperature of the forehead. He was visibly relieved when his father showed no signs of a fever.

The man was ashamed. “Your father is useless.”

“Dad, don’t say this. Just focus on getting better.”

Jiang Xie got up, poured a glass of water and placed it by the man’s bed before grabbing some grain and placing it in Xie Xi’s cage.

Xie Xi saw the giant Cancer.

He was mentally prepared but the appearance of this Cancer was quite surprising.

There wasn’t the gentleness of the neighbourhood brother and there was even a heavy suffocation.

He didn’t look at Xie Xi. After he finished pouring the grain, he went to do housework.

Xie Xi didn’t eat and watched this person.

Cancer was obviously used to these things. His sweeping and mopping of the floor was sharp and thorough, he easily boiled water and cooked and even his ability to wash clothes was great…

Xie Xi watched and inevitably felt some heartache.

Aries was quite miserable but Cancer seemed even worse.

His father was seriously ill and his family so poor that the young man had to cook and do laundry after coming back from school…

He must be having a hard time.

Dinner was very plain. Jiang Xie only ate rice and there were no vegetables. He had a growing body and his appetite was very big. One person ate three bowls of rice.

Father Jiang whispered, “Don’t just eat rice, you should eat some dishes.”

“I don’t like to eat them,” Jiang Xie replied.

Father Jiang was so sad he couldn’t speak.

It wasn’t that his son disliked eating vegetables. It was that he couldn’t become full from the small amount he could buy with a few dollars. He could only be full by eating rice.

After dinner, Jiang Xie prepared to go out and he told his father, “Don’t move around. I’ll come back late after self-study.”

Father Jiang nodded.

Before Jiang Xie left through the door, he placed Xie Xi in front of his father. “Let Little Chirp accompany you.”

Father Jiang smiled. “Okay.”

Jiang Xie left. Father Jiang held it in until his son was far away. Then he coughed violently.

He had been holding back just now because he didn’t want to worry Jiang Xie. Thus, he couldn’t help coughing up blood.

Xie Xi was anxious but he couldn’t do anything as a little bird!

Father Jiang wiped the blood he coughed up and carefully threw it into the deepest part of the trash can, as if afraid that Jiang Xie would see it.

Once he coughed, he seemed more comfortable and his mental state was much better.

He leaned against the bed, looked at Xie Xi in the cage and whispered, “Little Jiang is going to work again.”

Xie Xi, “…”

“Such a good child, how is his life so bitter? I am a useless father.”

It was fortunate that he thought Xie Xi couldn’t understand or he would be embarrassed.

Father Jiang seemed to feel some comfort and he smiled weakly. “I really want to die soon so I no longer drag him down. I’m just afraid that the child will become sadder once I die.”

These emotions were really contradictory and complicated.

The father and son were dependent on each other. The father was seriously ill and knew he brought a great burden on the family. His son was still a student but had to work while going to school. He could barely maintain their living conditions and treating his father was really a stretch.

This dragged down the child and Father Jiang wanted to leave, but what would happen if he really left the child?

Xie Xi listened quietly and his heart was bitter.

He knew this was false but he thought of Jiang Xie’s eagerness for a home and couldn’t he feeling pained.

Xie Xi also wanted a home. In his original world, he fantasized every night about having a home.

It was a home with a father and mother. It didn’t have to be too warm.

Xie Xi waited and it never arrived for it. It was the same for Jiang Xie.

How could those who were abandoned have a home?

Xie Xi sighed. Then once the tired Father Jiang fell asleep, he took out the god’s wisdom and sketch pen.

He had to find a way to draw the special medicine. Curing Father Jiang would definitely give Cancer great comfort.

His body might be round and his wings were short but Xie Xi would work hard to master the sketch pen!
