Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 67: Settle

Teacher Fang also saw the injury on Cen Huai'an's ankle. She exclaimed, "It's so swollen! An'an, how did you manage to endure without making a sound?"

Thinking about how Cen Huai'an limped back, she actually followed his instructions without supporting him or checking his leg. The guilt in Teacher Fang's heart was almost overwhelming.

She felt like she had really failed as a class teacher.

Chu Xia reached out and held his ankle. In front of her, Cen Huai'an finally looked like a child, and with a grimace.

"Ah, it hurts."

Chu Xia didn't say anything. After checking, she confirmed that he had only sprained it and hadn't injured the bone. Only then did she feel relieved, but her expression still didn't look good.

"Do you realize it hurts now?" Chu Xia looked at Cen Huai'an, feeling both angry and distressed. "Your foot is sprained, and you're still walking. Do you even care about your own well-being? Do you want to end up crippled?"

Cen Huai'an looked helpless, clutching his clothes and shaking his head. "Mom, I don't want to."

He lowered his head. "I didn't think it hurt that much."

He had been injured in fights before, and a sprained foot was a first for him. He was used to it. Hunger was the most unbearable, even worse than getting injured in a fight.

As Chu Xia listened to him, her heart felt like it had been bitten by some unknown bug, suddenly stinging and aching.

"Silly." She reached out and touched Cen Huai'an's head, then said with a serious face, "You need to learn to take care of your body. Whether you can endure the pain or not, if you're hurt, you can cry, ask the teacher for help. You don't have to bear it alone; your mom is here."

In the past, whenever Cen Huai'an got into fights, he would lick his wounds on his own. The last time he fought with Chen Chen and gained the upper hand, his mom primarily focused on disciplining him.

Until now, Cen Huai'an realized that he also had someone to rely on. Even if he got injured in a fight, his mom would still care for him.

At this moment, he couldn't feel the physical pain anymore. He felt a warm and comforting sensation in his heart, as if he had just drunk a cup of warm water on a cold winter day, instantly warming up.

Unable to resist, Cen Huai'an hugged Chu Xia, rubbing his head against her. "Mom."

Chu Xia gently patted his back, Teacher Fang immersed in guilt, and Jiang Zhida's anger burning within, there was a temporary silence inside the car.

After holding each other for a while, Chu Xia let go of Cen Huai'an and asked where he still felt pain.

At this moment, Cen Huai'an was no longer the strong figure he had been before. Except for the injuries that could only be seen by undressing, he showed Chu Xia all his other wounds.

"Mom, Zhao Yin scratched my neck with his nails, Zhao Jin punched the left corner of my mouth, and Zhao Jin pressed my arm against the ground and rubbed it..."

As he spoke, each revelation darkened Chu Xia's expression, and Jiang Zhida driving in front didn't look much better.

By the time Cen Huai'an had finished recounting everything, Chu Xia had checked each injury. Children don't have much strength, so even the more severe injuries were mostly superficial. The most serious one was the ankle.

Chu Xia breathed a sigh of relief; this was the best news for her.

However, Jiang Zhida's face turned completely dark, and the aura emanating from him made Teacher Fang instinctively move back.
