"Oh, I see. Then I'll put it away for now. When you all go home in a few days, I'll return it to Sister Jie." Lin Ling said, clearly convinced by Lin Feng's words.
"Hehe... Sister Jie said that if you need this Mobile Phone, you can use it. Besides, I've made some money now, so I can pay Sister Jie back for the Mobile Phone. Just think of it as a gift from your brother, and feel free to use it," Lin Feng continued, fully aware of his sister's stubborn nature.
"Brother, I know you're doing well. You're in college and not only don't you need our family to support you, but you can also send money home from time to time. But we can't spend money extravagantly right now, you know? You still need to find a job and get married in the future; all of that requires money. And even though you've woken up now, your injuries are quite serious, right? You don't have to worry about the medical expenses?" With that, Lin Feng's comment stirred up a hornet's nest, and Lin Ling began reasoning with him.
"Alright, girl. You can decide how to handle this Mobile Phone. I just woke up and you're making my head hurt," Lin Feng had to admit again that while his sister was sensible, she could also be quite exasperating. He couldn't tell her the truth and could only let her speak.
"Brother, look! I almost forgot! You're just recovering from serious injuries; don't hesitate to spend money on your treatment. If there's anything you need to tell the family, just say it. By the way, do you want me to let Mom come listen on the phone?" Hearing Lin Feng's words, Lin Ling finally stopped nagging him and expressed her concern.
"Yeah, I know. You're almost catching up with my sister now," Lin Feng teased, knowing that his sister meant well.
"Hehe..." Lin Ling didn't argue back but laughed instead. Knowing her brother had woken up and was in a good mood enough to tease her made her very happy.
"Stop laughing, girl. Call Mom over to listen on the phone," Lin Feng smiled knowingly at Lin Ling's happiness. In his previous life, by the end of it all, only Dong Jie and his mother and sister became his reasons for living.
"Okay, Mom! Brother is on the phone!" Lin Ling quickly shouted when she saw that Lin Feng wanted to talk to their mother.
"By the way, brother, should we let Mom know about your injuries?" While waiting for their mother to pick up the phone, Lin Ling quickly asked in a low voice.
"Not for now. Just don't say anything. But if it can't be hidden anymore, it's fine; after all, I'm alive and kicking now." Lin Feng could only ask Lin Ling to keep it as secret as possible but didn't feel it necessary to keep it as secretive as before when he hadn't woken up yet; after all, paper can't contain fire.
"Oh, I understand what you mean. I won't say anything; Mom is here." After Lin Feng replied, Lin Ling indicated she understood and then another person picked up the phone.
"Is this Lin Feng?" A gentle voice came through; it was the kind woman who had adopted him after he lost his family when he was young—his mother.
"Yes, Mom, how have you been lately?" After the disaster, hearing his mother's voice again made Lin Feng's voice tremble slightly as he asked.
"Well, I'm doing okay. How about you? Is everything going smoothly out there?" Just as he imagined, his mother always greeted her child with such concern when he was away. However, hearing these words from his own mother felt particularly warm to Lin Feng.
"Yeah, things are going relatively well. Mom, I'm doing fine out here. I've started a business with a friend. By the way, you met that friend of mine, right? He's a very honest person." Lin Feng continued speaking. He didn't want to show any worries in front of his mother; he shared that he was making money to ease her concerns and to prevent her from worrying about finances.
He knew that in his previous life, this kind-hearted woman worried about his tuition fees every year.
"That's good to hear. Make sure to cooperate well with him and don't be greedy. You're still young, so safety is the most important thing. Also, don’t overwork yourself; remember to rest." Hearing Lin Feng's words made Lin Mother feel much more at ease. Every mother feels proud when her son is capable.
"Yeah, I understand." In response, Lin Feng could only nod repeatedly, even though he had just taken a risk to save Su Rong and her mother.
"Alright then, as long as you're fine, I can relax. Phone bills are quite expensive; if there's nothing else, let's end the call." Although Lin Mother had many things to say to her son, she understood that he was far away and communication costs were high, so she refrained from nagging. She knew that at this moment, nagging would come at a cost.
"Okay then, I'll talk to you later, Mom. I'll come home to see you for the New Year. Also, I miss you." Lin Feng knew what his mother was worried about, even though he wasn't short on money.
The reason Lin Feng said "I miss you" was that it had been a long time since he had seen his mother in both this life and the last. He spoke from the heart; normally, he wouldn't casually say those three words.
"Alright, stop joking around. Focus on your studies and work hard; take care of your health." Hearing Lin Feng's words made Lin Mother smile. She thought her son was just being playful without realizing how much weight those three words carried after all that Lin Feng had experienced.
After the call ended, Lin Feng noticed that Liu Jing and Su Rong were both looking at him curiously instead of sleeping.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Lin Feng asked.
"Hehe... How can we sleep when you're on the phone here?" Liu Jing replied playfully. Now that Lin Feng was awake, she naturally returned to her lively self.
"Oh, sorry. I was worried about my family, so I made a call to let them know I'm safe," Lin Feng thought to himself. It was indeed difficult to chat so happily and then let someone else go to sleep.
"I'm just joking," Liu Jing said when she saw that Lin Feng took her words seriously.
To this, Lin Feng had nothing much to say.
"By the way, you told a lot of lies on the phone just now," Liu Jing continued teasing when Lin Feng remained silent.
"My family doesn't know about my situation yet; I need to let them accept it gradually," Lin Feng replied, knowing what Liu Jing was referring to.
"Hehe... Lin Feng, how do you feel?" Su Rong asked, noticing that Lin Feng didn't seem tired. Of course, she also intended to change the subject.
"I'm fine, just really hungry," Lin Feng said, seeing that Su Rong still looked worried.
"Well, Sister Dong has already gone to prepare food for you. Since you just woke up, it's better to eat something light. Sister Dong must know you just woke up and are definitely hungry; I think she'll bring the food to you soon," Su Rong said, feeling relieved that Lin Feng wanted to eat. She was worried he wouldn't want anything.
"Yeah, I'll wait for her," Lin Feng gave Su Rong a reassuring look and said.
Not long after, Li Zhong arrived as well.
"Feng Shao, you're awake?" Li Zhong had heard the doctor's words when he left and didn't expect Lin Feng to be so lively again so soon.
"Isn't that obvious?" Lin Feng replied. He knew Li Zhong was concerned about him but still said it.
Although Lin Feng's words sounded a bit rude, he understood that joking like this would only strengthen the friendship between him and Li Zhong.
After waking up, Lin Feng was quite busy. He needed to call home to reassure his family, and the things he wanted to say to his sister were different from what he would say to his mother. Now, he had to find various ways to put different people at ease, letting them know that he was fine.
Of course, Lin Feng did not feel annoyed by this; instead, he enjoyed the feeling of having many people around him who cared about him.
"Haha... that's indeed nonsense." Seeing Lin Feng talk to himself like this, Li Zhong felt relieved. He knew that only a normal Lin Feng would speak this way.
Even Su Rong and Liu Jing couldn't help but laugh at the conversation between Lin Feng and Li Zhong.
Before long, Dong Jie arrived with a small rice cooker containing the millet porridge that Lin Feng wanted to eat.
"Jie Jie, you came just in time! Look, my stomach is already growling," Lin Feng said with a smile upon seeing Dong Jie. After he spoke, his stomach indeed let out a loud growl.
"That’s just a coincidence; how could you be that hungry?" Liu Jing expressed her doubt. It was too coincidental for someone to say they were hungry and have their stomach growl right on cue.
"Don't believe me?" Lin Feng smiled and asked in response.
"I don't believe you," Liu Jing admitted directly.
"Haha... what about you all? Do you believe me?" Lin Feng looked at the others after Liu Jing expressed her disbelief.
Everyone remained silent, but from their expressions, Lin Feng could tell they didn't believe him either.
"I'm hungry, I'm hungry..." Seeing this, Lin Feng shouted again. It wasn't difficult to keep saying he was hungry, but when he shouted "I'm hungry," his stomach really made a "grumble..." sound. That was the hardest part and also the most unbelievable.
"Haha... Lin Feng, how did you do that?" This time Liu Jing had no choice but to believe him, but she knew it must have been intentional on Lin Feng's part.
"Haha... Want to know?" Lin Feng, seeing that he had successfully piqued Liu Jing's curiosity, asked with a mischievous grin.
"Mm." Liu Jing nodded in response.
"I'm really hungry," Lin Feng continued, still with that playful demeanor.
In fact, it wasn't difficult for Lin Feng, who possessed Internal Energy, to achieve this. He just needed to concentrate the Internal Energy in his abdomen, and he could easily do it.
But he couldn't explain it to Liu Jing like that.
"I'll kill you!" Liu Jing realized she had been tricked by Lin Feng and shouted as she prepared to strike.
However, Dong Jie would never allow her to take action. While she didn't mind Lin Feng joking around with Liu Jing—after all, it proved that Lin Feng was in good spirits—she wouldn't let Liu Jing attack him. She shot a glare at Liu Jing and said, "Stop messing around; Lin Feng just woke up."
Under Dong Jie's stern gaze, Liu Jing dared not act recklessly. She shot Lin Feng a fierce glare but fell silent afterward.
"Haha... How about we eat? Does everyone want something to eat?" This was the first time Lin Feng had seen Dong Jie exert such authority over those around her. Realizing she was only looking out for him, he decided to change the subject and began to eat.
To be precise, he was drinking porridge.
