Chapter 844: Chapter 844: She Didn’t Need to Lift a Finger
"Why is Xiao Fei still asleep today?" A little voice faintly came from outside, "Usually, even when Xiao Fei wakes up late, it’s never this late."
"Don’t rush her, let her sleep." Ye Fei vaguely heard Zhao Gushen’s voice.
"Daddy, are we going to Great-Uncle’s house today?" the little one asked again.
"Mm, it’s noon now. We’ll go in the afternoon," Zhao Gushen said.
Since Ye Fei hasn’t gotten up yet, the visit was postponed to the afternoon.
"I have so many grandpas." The little one said, shaking his head.
Zhao Gushen chuckled and gently flicked the little one’s head.
"Xiao Fei is too tired, keep your voice down, don’t wake her," Zhao Gushen advised again.
The little one blinked his big eyes, puzzled, and asked, "We’ve been with Xiao Fei these days, and she hasn’t done anything, how could she be so tired?"
Zhao Gushen: "..."
Hah, should he tell his son it’s because he was too strong, making Ye Fei so exhausted?
"Daddy, is Great-Uncle nice?" the little one asked again.
"Is he like Second Grandpa or like Third Grandpa?" the little one inquired.
He likes Third Grandpa but doesn’t like Second Grandpa.
If he’s like Third Grandpa, he will go.
If he’s like Second Grandpa, he doesn’t want to go.
"Umm..." Zhao Gushen thought for a moment before saying, "Neither, but Great-Uncle is a good person, don’t worry."
If he wasn’t nice, Zhao Gushen wouldn’t take Ye Fei and Xiao Mo there today.
Upon hearing this from Zhao Gushen, the little one felt reassured.
Ye Fei muddleheadedly heard this, and she remembered.
Today, they are supposed to visit the old master and Zhao Dingli.
Ye Fei hurriedly got up.
As soon as she moved, her arms, legs, and waist ached unbearably.
She wished she could disown the parts growing on her body.
Just a slight movement caused even the tendons to hurt.
Especially when trying to get up, her muscles had to exert force.
And exerting force made her muscles ache.
It’s like the first time practicing yoga, first backbend, or suddenly doing sit-ups after not exercising for a long time.
The next day, any bending, squatting, sitting, or rising movements.
Doing them would make one want to scream from the pain.
Ye Fei was too embarrassed to scream.
Or else she would attract the little one, asking why she’s making noise.
She would say it’s painful.
The little one would ask why it hurts?
How would Ye Fei answer that?
Ye Fei knew the little one too well, able to predict what he would say even before the situation happened.
So Ye Fei clenched her teeth tightly, forcing herself not to make a single sound.
She dragged her painfully aching body to the bathroom to freshen up.
Ye Fei wondered if she was prematurely experiencing the pains of an aging body: the waist, legs, and bones aching?
She couldn’t straighten her waist now, could only bend over, almost lying on the edge of the sink, struggling to brush her teeth.
Zhao Gushen was outside talking to the little one, most of the time the little one was chattering nonstop.
Like a little chatterbox.
As he listened to the little one chattering away, Zhao Gushen received the video shot last night from his underlings.
It was footage of Zhao Guqing and Ye Ning encountering each other at the bar last night, all captured by Zhao Gushen’s people.
They only sent it now because of the noisy bar.
Zhao Gushen’s people had to hide in inconspicuous corners to avoid being discovered and couldn’t be too close to Zhao Guqing.
Therefore, coupled with music interference, it’s impossible to record Zhao Guqing and Ye Ning’s conversation.
Can’t exactly stick a microphone under Zhao Guqing and Ye Ning’s noses.
So after returning, they removed the music and minimized the noise as much as possible.
Yet, even so, they couldn’t record Zhao Guqing and Ye Ning’s dialogue.
Thus, they found someone who understood lip-reading to interpret their conversation.
After organizing everything, they sent it to Zhao Gushen all at once.
To avoid bothering Zhao Gushen with question after question.
They tried their best to be excellent subordinates.
So, it took a bit more time.
Zhao Gushen didn’t watch it in front of the little one, telling him, "I’ll go see if Xiao Fei is awake."
"Didn’t you say not to wake Xiao Fei?" the little one immediately said, puzzled why he was now urging Xiao Fei to get up?
Zhao Gushen gave him a sidelong glance and said, "I’m just going to check if she’s awake without making a sound."
Aunt Guo was preparing lunch in the kitchen at that moment.
Ye Fei woke up late, even if she got up at noon, lunch preparation would be too late.
Zhao Gushen could wait to have lunch with Ye Fei.
But the little one should eat on time.
After saying this, Zhao Gushen returned to the room first.
Upon entering, he saw no one on the bed.
He heard water sounds from the bathroom.
So Zhao Gushen directly opened the bathroom door.
There he saw Ye Fei bent over, with both elbows awkwardly resting on the sink as she washed her face.
Zhao Gushen: "..."
"Your posture..." Despite being experienced with many challenges, Zhao Gushen was genuinely stunned by Ye Fei’s awkward posture.
Seeing the culprit had arrived, Ye Fei turned to Zhao Gushen and grimaced, saying, "It’s all because of you, I’m aching all over, moving makes my muscles hurt so much."
"We have to meet Third Grandpa and Fourth Uncle this afternoon, I hurt so much just walking that sitting down makes me grit my teeth, won’t I be a laughingstock?" Ye Fei thought of the afternoon and felt it’s too difficult.
"How about we don’t go this afternoon?" Zhao Gushen suggested.
Seeing Ye Fei in such discomfort, it indeed seemed challenging.
"That’s not possible." Ye Fei immediately replied.
She originally had her elbows resting on the sink.
Now to stand up, she first raised one arm, using her hand to support herself on the sink.
Once steady, she raised the other arm, using both hands to support herself on the sink.
She then exerted force together to support herself to stand up.
Even the features on her face appeared slightly distorted from muscle soreness.
Zhao Gushen truly didn’t expect Ye Fei to be so frail.
It’s not a big issue, nothing got injured.
It’s just the typical symptoms of someone who doesn’t exercise suddenly undergoing intense activity.
However, the pain is indeed severe.
Seeing her struggle, Zhao Gushen hurriedly approached to help her stand upright.
"All done freshening up?" Zhao Gushen asked her.
Ye Fei nodded: "I originally planned to shower this morning and wash my hair too, but I actually have no strength to lift my arms."
Bathing requires raising and bending the arms, applying body wash, right?
Ye Fei now struggles to lift her arms even slightly, let alone keep them up and move them around.
Last night, after the fun with Zhao Gushen, he did help her rinse off.
With Zhao Gushen around, she naturally didn’t need to lift a finger.
