Chapter 830: Chapter 814 Coaxing a Fool Chapter 830: Chapter 814 Coaxing a Fool That night, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
When he was on the brink of drifting off in a daze, he heard a sound like the door outside clicking.
He rubbed his eyes, feeling unbearably sleepy.
Because he was not accustomed to the bed and the pillows, and added to that was the musty smell in the house, he had not been able to sleep all night.
It was only now that he was finally feeling a bit drowsy.
But in the state of being half-asleep and half-awake, he thought he was dreaming, so he did not pay it any mind and turned over to continue sleeping.
However, he suddenly felt a chill on his body and instinctively reached for his blanket.
...
But after fumbling for a while, he didn’t manage to grasp it.
Opening his eyes, he was momentarily blinded by the bright light.
Once he adjusted to the light, he realized the room was full of people.
Father Ren, Mother Ren, and Ren Ying were all there.
Tang Xincheng sat up and rubbed his eyes again.
He thought he was still dreaming, but no matter how much he rubbed, he still saw a crowd of people.
“Chengcheng...”
Father Ren’s laughter was indistinguishable from crying.
Tang Xincheng rubbed his eyes once more, truly not understanding why they had come.
Was it to check if he had kicked off his blanket?
If they were so worried about him kicking off his blanket, he wanted to know why they had to remove his blanket.
What had his blanket done to offend anyone?
Or perhaps, did the Ren Family have such a strange fetish?
“Grandpa, how come you’re here?”
Tang Xincheng was now fully awake, though still a bit sleepy.
But if he were to be stared at by so many people with such fixed gazes, there was no way he could continue to sleep.
At the very least, he couldn’t continue sleeping amidst those eyes that resembled those of wolves.
He even feared that in the next moment, these people might truly turn into wolves and devour him.
He touched his own arm unconsciously and noticed goosebumps had formed, probably because it was too cold.
He quickly pulled over a corner of the blanket and covered his legs.
“Grandpa, I said I can sleep on my own.
I won’t be fussy about the bed.
But when Ren Father spoke those words, Tang Xincheng’s face turned ugly.
His little mouth was also tightly pursed.
He understood the meaning of the words said by Ren Father.
Don’t forget, he had a sister who was a doctor.
Although he had never studied medicine himself, he was always by his sister’s side.
With what he absorbed from her, his medical knowledge was definitely much more than others.
Sometimes, concerning how to deal with rare diseases and some emergency medical knowledge, his sister had taught him all that.
Although he was young, sometimes his emergency medical knowledge could surpass a student who had graduated from a formal medical school.
They wanted his blood, and he wasn’t naive enough to think it was just a little bit, like the amount you’d get for a physical examination and be done with just a prick of the finger.
If that were all, the Ren Family wouldn’t need to act so sneakily and move in the middle of the night.
He finally understood where his feelings of something being off came from.
It looked like these people were up to no good.
“Chengcheng, what do you say?”
Ren Father still coaxed Tang Xincheng like he was entertaining a fool, regardless of how sincere his affection for Tang Xincheng might have been before.
But now, these repeated pleas, how were they any different from placating a fool?
Could it be that because Tang Xincheng had a silly face, he really looked that dumb?
He took fifth in the school and first in his class every year.
Even though he wasn’t the grade-wide top one like his sister used to be, he didn’t have a silly face.
“Chengcheng, what do you say?”
Ren Father coaxed Tang Xincheng again as if talking to a little fool.
Tang Xincheng slightly squinted his eyes, but his expression was really becoming more and more similar to that of his terrible sister.
He didn’t respond to Ren Father’s words.
He had initially felt a sense of closeness towards Ren Father, but now it had turned into disappointment, utter disappointment.
No one likes being manipulated, especially from the beginning to the end.
It seemed the kindness shown during the day was all pretend, all fake.
If it’s fake, it can’t be true.
Anyway, he didn’t care whether or not he wanted this kinship, whether others offered it was up to them.
However, he still felt uncomfortable inside.
He pulled back the quilt and searched for his shoes on the floor, put them on, and then headed towards the door.
