Because of this topic, Xiao Bao stopped crying for the moment. It was their turn in line just then, and the people nearby couldn't help but chuckle. After all, parents will say anything to coax a child into getting a shot.

One of the other onlookers, a well-meaning parent, came over and asked, "Hey, what happened to the little baby's hand?"

"She got pinched by a crab," Lin Feng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Bao became incredibly sad again. She looked at her older brothers and sisters and explained, "The crab's name is Stone. I wanted to show it to Third Sister… and then, then it fell out, so I reached out with my hand to grab it…"

Lin Feng continued for her, "And then it pinched you?"

Xiao Bao, on the verge of tears again, nodded.

The parent who had asked the question had overheard and quickly chimed in, "I see. In that case, you definitely need a shot. Otherwise, the consequences could be severe."

He then showed his own injured hand to Xiao Bao. "See this wound on Uncle's hand? This is from being pinched by a crab. I had to get a shot for it."

"If you don't get the shot, this finger will be gone," the man continued, gesturing with his hand. "And without it, you can't eat, do your homework, or do lots of other fun things!"

Just as he was speaking, it became Xiao Bao's turn.

"What's the situation?" the doctor asked as Lin Feng sat down.

Upon learning that Xiao Bao had been pinched by a crab, the doctor said, "Let me see the wound."

When Lin Feng peeled off the bandage, Xiao Bao immediately shrank into his arms, whining.

The doctor examined it and said, "Go get a tetanus shot."

Lin Feng took Xiao Bao over to get the shot as the nurse prepared the needle. As soon as Xiao Bao saw the needle, she looked like she was about to cry again. Lin Feng quickly covered her eyes with his hand. "Don't look, don't look. We'll be fine if we don't look."

Xiao Bao sobbed, "Daddy, I don't want a shot! I don't want it…"

Lin Feng coaxed her, "You have to get it, sweetie. Just be brave for a moment and it'll all be over!"

The four siblings gathered around Xiao Bao, trying all sorts of ways to comfort her.

The nurse, impressed by their good looks, couldn't help but ask, "Who are you all to the little girl?"

The eldest sibling smiled faintly and said, "We're her brothers and sisters!"

The young nurse was shocked. "For real? Her biological siblings?"

The eldest sibling nodded.

The nurse stood stunned. Holy cow!

Xiao Bao was still crying. She wanted to keep her finger, but she was also terrified of the shot. She cried out, "Daddy, I don't want a shot!"

"Third Sister, save me! Save Xiao Bao…"

"Fourth Brother, it hurts so much, Xiao Bao hurts so much…"

It was a strange thing, being a parent. Seeing his daughter like this, Lin Feng actually found it a little amusing. "We haven't even started yet!" he said.

But Xiao Bao didn't care. I don't care what you think, only what I feel! It hurts because I say it hurts, whether the shot has started or not!

Finally, the shot began. Xiao Bao didn't know for sure, but she could definitely feel it.

Struggling in Lin Feng's arms, she cried, "No, I don't want it!"

After much persuasion, they ultimately had to use a firm hand. The nurse was quick and skilled with the needle.

"Look, it's over," Lin Feng soothed Xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao wailed for a few more moments, unable to hold back, and then suddenly stopped. She turned her head and saw Lin Feng was already dressing her arm. A look of elation spread across her face, and she started to laugh.

Huh? It's over? It's over just like that?

Her rapid switch from crying to laughing amused the whole family.

Lin Feng took the children home.

Looking at Xiao Bao's tear-filled eyes, the second sibling said with a smile, "Xiao Bao was really brave today!"

The eldest chimed in with a flood of praise, "That's right! Our Xiao Bao is the bravest of all!"

The fourth sibling held back a laugh. "Indeed. None of us are as brave as Xiao Bao!"

The third sibling teased her, "See? Getting a shot isn't so scary, is it? Besides, it's good for our bodies!"

Xiao Bao leaned on Lin Feng's shoulder, sniffling.

Back home, she saw the crab crawling around and let out a snort. "You're mean! I don't love you anymore!"

Lin Feng sighed. "You were the one who was careless. Why blame the crab?"

Yeah, why blame me? What did I do wrong?

Lin Feng coaxed Xiao Bao, "You can't do that next time. You have to be careful, understand?"

Thankfully, the crab wasn't very large, or Xiao Bao's injury would have been much more severe.

"Alright, go take a nap."

Xiao Bao pouted. "Daddy, blow on it. My hand is hurty."

Lin Feng blew gently on her hand. "There, there, good girl. Go to sleep now."

But Xiao Bao couldn't sleep, likely because her hand was still hurting. Lin Feng kept blowing gently on her finger until she finally, drowsily, drifted off.

Once Xiao Bao was asleep, Lin Feng finally left her room. The doctor had prescribed an ointment, and applying it brought a cool, soothing sensation that relieved much of the pain.

When Zhang Yuxi came back and heard about the incident, she felt her heart ache but also found it hilarious.

Xiao Bao got angry. "Mommy, you're not allowed to laugh!"

"Okay, Mommy won't laugh!" Zhang Yuxi quickly said. "Be more careful next time, okay?"

Xiao Bao reluctantly nodded.

Because of her wound, Xiao Bao had to avoid seafood, which she declared she didn't want to eat anyway because she was still angry.
