Another day passed, and her fever finally went down. Li Caiyi didn't have a headache as much as before, but she didn't want to stay in bed all the ti. She tightened her cardigan before walking out of her room.
Su Suyin was preparing breakfast in the kitchen when she noticed her eldest daughter co out of her room. She put down whatever she was holding and approached her. "Xiaoyi, how are you feeling? You should stay in bed more."
Li Caiyi smiled. "I'm fine, Mother. Brother Jie took care of well. I felt much better than before."
"Good if that's the case. But you shouldn't move around too much, or you will get dizzy again."
"En. I'll be careful."
Su Suyin stroked her head gently before saying, "Are you hungry? I have prepared so chicken porridge for you. I was about to bring it to your room, actually."
No wonder the sll was so good. "Yes, I think I'm hungry."
Su Suyin was exhilarated. After a long ti, she finally could do sothing for Li Caiyi again. She ushered her to sit down while scooping so chicken porridge into the bowl. Then, she brought it to her.
"Make sure to blow them first before you eat so you won't get burned."
"En. Thank you, Mother." Li Caiyi answered as she scooped so porridge into her mouth. The savory taste revived her numb taste bud, and the warmth spread from her mouth to all over her body.
Su Suyin saw her eating happily and felt her nose sour. Li Caiyi looked so happy and content with just a bowl of porridge. To think she failed to even provide her with such simple things before.
Su Suyin averted her eyes and dabbed her wet eyes with her apron. "Do you want to eat sothing sweet and refreshing after that? I have so pudding in the fridge."
"I'd love that, Mother."
Li Caiyi felt so comfortable. After crying her eyes out until no tears could go out anymore, it felt so soothing to eat a warm al like this.
Li Junjie and Su Suyin have changed a lot from the past. She could tell they tried their best to care for her, and it healed her wounded heart a bit.
Thinking about Dai Zhiqiang still brought pain to her chest, but it turned out nothing happened after that day. She didn't lose her mory, nor did she beco soone else. She was still the sa Li Caiyi, with or without Dai Zhiqiang.
Not long after that, Li Junjie ca out of the room and was surprised to find Li Caiyi sitting in the dining room.
"How is your body?" He asked while sitting across from her.
"Much better, thanks to you." Li Caiyi smiled. "As expected, becoming a doctor is the most suitable path for you, Brother."
Li Junjie cleared his throat awkwardly. "Still, you should not let your guard down just yet. You need to rest more after this."
"En. I'll do as you say, Brother Jie!"
Su Suyin chuckled, seeing them getting along. It felt like they had never separated before. If only Li Chunhua was here, then their family would be complete.
"Brother, how is Xiaohua's condition? Still no news yet?"
"Yeah. There is nothing we can do except wait for her."
Li Caiyi's expression turned sullen. Before this, Li Chunhua would collapse and get admitted to the hospital from ti to ti. But it was the first ti it took her so long to regain consciousness.
Li Caiyi wondered if she should ask Chu Kong about this?
"I'm sorry for not being able to stay with you for long, Xiaoyi. I'm worried sothing might suddenly happen to Xiaohua," Su Suyin felt guilty for having to leave Li Caiyi again.
"Don't worry, Mother. Brother Jie is still here with . I'll be fine."
Su Suyin was reluctant to leave Li Caiyi, who was still sick, but she couldn't stay calm either, leaving Li Chunhua alone. So she kept her mouth shut and prepared to go to the hospital.
After Su Suyin left, Li Junjie shot her a questioning look.
"So? Did sothing happen between you and Renshu again?"
"Why are you asking so many questions?" Li Caiyi groaned.
"Well, he has bombarded with many texts since graduation, asking how you are doing. I already told him to just co if he's worried, but he said you wouldn't be able to rest with him around."
"It's nothing serious." Li Caiyi avoided his gaze. "Tell him if he wants to co; he can visit now since I have gotten better already."
Besides, there was sothing Li Caiyi needed to tell him as well. After spending a few days bedridden, she wanted to do sothing so she wouldn't be able to think about painful mories.
She had yet to have a chance to tell ng Renshu about Gu Xue's eting with ng Yaoshu. She thought this would be an excellent chance to tell him that.
"By the way, Brother Jie, did Father ever tell you anything about research written in Grandpa's journal?"
His brows creased in confusion upon hearing that. "Why do you want to know?"
"Nothing. I was just curious about it. The Li family has a long history in the dical field. Don't you think among the research conducted before, there is a possibility that so of it will help Xiaohua's condition?"
"Who knows? But if sothing like that really exists, don't you think Father or Grandpa would already do sothing about it?"
Li Jirong was the main culprit, so there was no way he would do that. Li Caiyi couldn't say for sure about her grandfather, though. He passed away when the twins were still five years old.
Besides, that wasn't the point of it anyway. Li Caiyi just wanted to know if Li Jirong ever ntioned it to her brother. He was their father's pride, after all.
Li Junjie pondered for a mont before shaking his head. "Hmm, no, I don't think he ever ntioned sothing like that. Although, he did say sothing about how he would reveal our family's secret to eventually."
"He said he would pave the road for or sothing like that. At first, I thought he was just babbling nonsense like always, but do you think he is being serious? I don't know the details about that, though."
Li Caiyi was imdiately intrigued. The Li family's secret? What if it has sothing to do with ng Yaoshu or the organization?
She had to consult ng Renshu and Detective Tang about this.
"Say, do you think I can take a look at Grandpa's journal too?"
