Xu Musen opened the lunchbox, and instantly the enticing aroma wafted through the room, accompanied by a specially prepared soup of red dates and ginseng.
Liu Rushuang looked at the al he had prepared, then glanced at the ti. It seed that right after Xu Musen hung up the phone, he must have started getting it ready.
She felt a warmth in her heart, "You kid, didn't you just say there were people here specifically to cook?"
"Because I know that Ming Yue doesn't have the habit of taking a nap at lunch, and she wouldn't just not answer my calls. So, it must be because she's not feeling well. When she's unwell, besides the als I make, she doesn't fancy eating anyone else's cooking."
Xu Musen brought out all the prepared dishes. This mother and daughter had different tastes, so Xu Musen had made two different dishes each that they both liked.
His words made Liu Rushuang's eyes sparkle. After a while, she smiled and shook her head, "That's what childhood sweethearts are like; you really can't hide anything from each other."
Liu Rushuang was touched. At the very least, when her daughter was unwell, Xu Musen was always thinking of her.
"Go check on her. She should be waking up soon. She'll be very happy to see you."
Liu Rushuang nodded at him.
"Alright."
Xu Musen took the al he had prepared for Yao Mingyue into the room.
The room was dimly lit, and a faint scent of roses lingered in the air.
The girl lay on the bed, her fair cheeks seeming to lack so healthy color, as Xu Musen approached her.
He reached out and gently touched her forehead, which was a bit cool. Yao Mingyue had always been a bit cold since she was young, sothing that Xu Musen knew very well.
This had nothing to do with the temperature; it was her body's frailty. But in her previous life, whenever she felt unwell, she would burrow into Xu Musen's arms for a bit of comfort.
But now, she didn't even send a ssage to worry Xu Musen.
Xu Musen gently pinched her cheek, trying to get her to wake up for a bite to eat.
"Mom, let sleep a bit more... You eat first, don't worry about ..."
Yao Mingyue was groggy and felt very tired; the more she felt like this, the less appetite she had.
"Really not going to take a bite? I made all of your favorites."
Indulged by the voice paired with the familiar scent of ginseng and red dates, Yao Mingyue drowsily opened her eyes.
Seeing the person in front of her clearly, Yao Mingyue thought for a mont she was dreaming, "Husband... no, wrong, my husband already has a new girlfriend, he would not care about . Otherwise, why hasn't he called 'wife'..."
Yao Mingyue's words were like sleep talk, full of a young wife's grievance and playful charm.
Xu Musen smiled, knowing that Yao Mingyue was awake, but he indulged her and played along with the act.
"Wife, get up and drink the soup."
Xu Musen gently held the soup bowl and whispered beside Yao Mingyue's ear.
Hearing the word 'wife,' Yao Mingyue instantly seed to be injected with adrenaline and perked up a bit, though she still pouted.
"I won't. Your soup must be poisoned, wanting to poison so you can fly away with your Xin Nuannuan!"
"???"
Xu Musen couldn't help but laugh, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Get up and eat sothing."
Xu Musen helped her sit up. Yao Mingyue didn't have much of an appetite, but Xu Musen's cooking was too familiar and too missed by her.
"Feeling unwell again?"
Xu Musen gently fed her soup while quietly asking.
"It's nothing much, just a bit sleepy... Did my mom tell you?"
Yao Mingyue huffed, if not for this guy who was always busy flirt dating elsewhere, he would never think of her.
Xu Musen laughed, "Actually, I've felt a bit unwell recently. Even my farts have started to stink."
"Xu Musen! You're disgusting, we're eating!"
Yao Mingyue sipped the soup. Ginseng naturally has a bit of bitterness, and his comnt made the taste seem off.
But regardless of her aversion, the concern couldn't be hidden in Yao Mingyue's eyes, "Did you go see a doctor?"
"I did, and the doctor said this sickness can't be cured with dicine. I could only try to find a special catalyst for a redy," Xu Musen shook his head, even making a point of sighing heavily.
"What catalyst? Speak up, do you want to worry to death?"
Yao Mingyue was now genuinely anxious, her face turning a shade redder, totally missing the amusent in Xu Musen's eyes.
Xu Musen looked down at her anxious, adorable face and gently tapped her little nose, "That catalyst is you."
"?" Yao Mingyue blinked.
Xu Musen smiled, pinching her delicate little nose, "Yes, the doctor said these past days I've just been missing a little tagalong. Now that I've found you, I can be cured."
Yao Mingyue's ears imdiately softened at his spoiling bad smile, and she knew she had been tricked again.
But she really liked being tricked like this!
"Bad egg..."
All of Yao Mingyue's fatigue and anxiety from the past few days seed to lt away at that mont, as she gently leaned into Xu Musen's embrace, feeling her heartbeat strengthen.
"I am indeed..."
For the two of them, each other was the best cure.
