Chapter 1490: A Small Surprise

After half a month of recuperation, Yi Feng was finally able to get up and walk slowly.

Gradually, he became familiar with the small mountain village where he lived and grew closer to Miss Bai.

This young lady was not only skilled in medicine but also well-versed in poetry and literature. She often went to the village schoolhouse to teach the children. As the saying goes, "One's appearance reflects their heart." With such a kind and compassionate nature, it was no wonder her beauty was so extraordinary.

Yi Feng was deeply grateful to Miss Bai for saving his life. However, due to his limited mobility, he couldn't do much to repay her. All he could do was keep this debt of gratitude in his heart.

As time passed, Yi Feng's injuries gradually improved. He no longer needed a cane to walk slowly, and he grew closer to Miss Bai. They developed a mutual understanding, and their lives became quite routine.

Every morning, Yi Feng would accompany Miss Bai to the schoolhouse as a small gesture of gratitude. Along the way, they were often surrounded by curious village children, their laughter and chatter adding vitality to the small village.

The children, innocent and full of curiosity, were naturally fascinated by Yi Feng, an outsider. Even after seeing him many times, they still looked at him with wide-eyed wonder.

Yi Feng didn't mind the children's noise. In fact, he enjoyed chatting with them. Listening to their innocent laughter and questions, he felt a sense of relaxation and comfort that was hard to describe.

However, every time the children asked their first question, Yi Feng found himself at a loss.

"Big brother, what's your name?"

Surrounded by a group of curious children, Yi Feng looked utterly bewildered.

His expression was a mix of confusion, slight embarrassment, and helplessness, as if he could dig a three-story building out of the ground with his toes.

Seeing his expression, Miss Bai couldn't help but chuckle.

The children also burst into laughter, their voices ringing like bells as they chattered away.

"Oh no, he still can't remember!"

"Is his illness really better?"

"Does this big brother not have a name?"

"That can't be! My mom said everyone has a name, even our dog, Ah Huang, has a name. How could he not have one? I think he must have forgotten!"

"Big brother looks a bit silly. Why don't we call him Ah Dai?"

"Ah Dai? Hahaha..."

As laughter erupted, the children began to cheer and play around. Though they didn't mean to tease, their innocent words and actions still revealed a bit of mischievousness.

Faced with the children's unintentional jokes, Yi Feng felt a bit at a loss.

Seeing this, Miss Bai pretended to be stern, casting a sharp glance at the children.

With just one look, she exuded the authority of a strict teacher. Combined with her flawless beauty and demeanor, she suddenly seemed untouchable, instantly silencing the rowdy children.

In an instant, the laughter and noise died down. The children stood obediently to the side, no longer daring to tease Yi Feng.

This was the first time Yi Feng had seen Miss Bai pretend to be angry. While it was indeed intimidating, it also revealed a different side of her charm, leaving Yi Feng momentarily entranced.

It wasn't until Miss Bai turned back with an apologetic look that he snapped out of it.

"Please don't mind them. These children mean no harm. They're just joking. They're still young and don't know better. It's my fault for not teaching them properly."

Seeing Miss Bai's gracious apology, Yi Feng instinctively cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Miss Bai, you're too kind."

"Children's words are innocent. I naturally don't mind. Besides, 'Ah Dai' sounds quite interesting. It's much better than having no name at all, and it brings everyone a laugh. Why not?"

His demeanor and words carried an air of elegance, and his magnanimity was remarkable.

Seeing Yi Feng like this for the first time, Miss Bai couldn't help but be impressed. She nodded with a smile, her curiosity about Yi Feng growing even more.

Yi Feng, however, didn't pay much attention. Instead, he laughed and joked with the children.

"From now on, you can call me Ah Dai!"

"How about that name?"

Seeing his easygoing and friendly demeanor, the children grew even fonder of Yi Feng. Even as they started calling him "Ah Dai," they added the affectionate title of "big brother."

"Okay, okay!"

"Ah Dai big brother!"

"Big brother, let's go fishing together sometime! I know a pond with lots of little fish!"

"I want to go too!"

"Hahaha..."

In the blink of an eye, Yi Feng had become the king of the children.

Dressed in white, he walked ahead confidently, surrounded by a group of laughing children. The joyful and carefree scene looked like a painting from afar, exuding an indescribable sense of ease and relaxation.

Watching this scene, Miss Bai's eyes showed a hint of contentment. Unconsciously, her curious gaze was drawn to the figure in white, and a faint smile curved her lips.

At this moment, Miss Bai felt even more certain that saving Ah Dai had been the right decision.

She had initially only wanted to save a life, never expecting Ah Dai to possess such character and eloquence.

This was indeed a small surprise.

Although Ah Dai still couldn't remember anything, the qualities he had shown so far were more than enough to teach these children. Having another teacher in the village was certainly a good thing...
