When Dong Huiying woke up, she didn’t even wash her face. The first thing she did was rush to Zhichen’s room.
Shu Yu was also there, holding a blue and white porcelain bowl to feed his elder brother plain porridge. Hearing the hurried footsteps of his wife, it was just right; the last spoon of porridge was fed to his elder brother. Shu Yu placed the empty bowl and spoon on the small table beside him before leisurely getting up to look at his wife.
Dong Huiying felt a bit embarrassed, "Did I wake up too late?" She scratched her neck and glanced at the sky. It wasn’t too late, anyway; usually, she would wake up much later in the day, but today she got up earlier, while the morning mist hadn’t even dissipated.
Zhichen lay in bed, smiling as he said, "Not late. It’s just that Shu Yu ca into my room a while ago, and I was a bit hungry, so I had so porridge cooked and ate breakfast early."
Shu Yu gave his elder brother a glance, and suddenly, as if in awe, remarked, "Previously, everyone used to feed . I never thought the tables would turn, and I’d be taking care of my elder brother one day."
Zhichen smiled without speaking, and his wife darted over, asking with concern, "How is your health?"
"Much better."
But she didn’t believe him, so she placed her small hand on his pulse. Zhichen sighed lightly, "Compared to yesterday, it really is much better."
"I’ll prepare so dicine later. Drink it so you can recover faster."
Zhichen asked, "I heard Shu Yu say, wife, you’re going out today? To visit that Elder Sun of the Witch Gu Clan?"
Dong Huiying nodded subconsciously. Zhichen said, "Can you take along?"
"But your health..."
Zhichen smiled, "Wife said she would visit with kin. Isn’t Zhichen also your kin then, not just Shu Yu?"
Dong Huiying: "..."
Why are these n so particular? Besides, wasn’t it because his health isn’t good! His body is weak and ought to rest more.
Zhichen, fearing she might refuse, added to his case, "Besides, Elder Sun helped greatly yesterday. If it weren’t for Elder Sun, Zhichen might still be lying on the bed, unable to move. Emotionally and rationally, Zhichen must go personally to thank him."
She looked at him strangely. At that mont, Shu Yu said, "This body of my elder brother, even if weak, is still much better than how I used to be. It’s better to take him along. It’s good to get so sun sotis, or else being cooped up indoors for so long might cause illness even without any."
Dong Huiying: "..."
Alright, two votes against one; she could only raise her hands in surrender.
"But you must take the dicine first. Only after taking the dicine can you go out!" That was her final compromise.
Zhichen didn’t argue with her, especially since taking the dicine was beneficial for himself. He obediently agreed, then soon saw his wife whirl out of the room like a gust of wind.
An hour later, his wife ca in carrying a small pot, which contained the soup dicine she had brewed.
Pouring the thick and bitter drug liquid into a large bowl, she laughed as she handed it to Liang Zhichen, "Drink it!"
Liang Zhichen: "..."
Wife, are you doing this on purpose? Surely you are doing it on purpose!
Helplessly, he looked at her with a glance, then silently sighed. Unlike Shu Yu, who needed coaxing when taking dicine, he was quite aware and drank it down himself, gulp after gulp, yet this dicine was indeed bitter.
After he finished the dicine, Dong Huiying promptly handed over a cup of honey water, "Quick, sweeten your mouth. I’m not intentionally making it difficult for you; this soup dicine is indeed good for nourishing you. The more you drink, the better."
He smiled, "Then, until Zhichen fully recovers, perhaps wife could brew a pot of this soup dicine for Zhichen daily, would that be alright?"
