Chapter 317: Xiao Sickly Cutie, Night in the Sick Ward~ (5k Subscriptions Please!)
In the blink of an eye, it was June.
Yao Mingyue had been recuperating in the hospital for nearly a month.
Her injuries were mainly concentrated on her right leg, and as the saying goes, "injuries to muscles and bones take a hundred days to heal."
But clearly, this restless Xiao Sickly Cutie was about to go crazy from staying in.
Night.
Xu Musen came to the hospital to bring dinner for Yao Mingyue.
This Xiao Sickly Cutie was picky with her appetite; she would barely eat unless it was something Xu Musen had cooked.
However, Xu Musen had gotten used to it. Entering the ward, Yao Mingyue was holding a book and reading.
Xu Musen glanced at the book title and couldn't help but laugh, "How to Avoid Depression during Postpartum Confinement"? What do you need that for?
Yao Mingyue put down the book and pouted her lips, "Isn't my situation just like postpartum confinement? I can only lie in bed all day, unable to go anywhere. It's boring me to death."
"Injuries to muscles and bones take a hundred days to heal; you can't rush your heart."
"Anyway, since I need to recover, wouldn't it be better to just go home and recuperate? I don't like the hospital."
Yao Mingyue looked pitifully at Xu Musen.
Xu Musen then said, "You should stay for a few more days if possible. If anything happens, it's always more convenient to be in the hospital. Here's the black chicken soup I've stewed for you."
Xu Musen took out the food he had prepared for today.
"Chicken soup again."
"I'll make turtle soup for you tomorrow."
Yao Mingyue pouted, her mind suddenly sparking with an idea.
"Drinking soup every day is so boring. I want something spicy. Could you bring me a couple of packs of spicy strips next time?"
Xu Musen laughed speechlessly, "I've gone to all the trouble of making you nutritious soup, and you want spicy strips? Can you be a little more ambitious?"
"I just suddenly feel like eating something stimulating. The book says that postpartum women might suddenly crave strange things, and if they're not satisfied, they could very well become depressed!"
"But are you even pregnant?"
Xu Musen retorted.
"Well, I feel like I'm about to get depression… I'm so miserable. I've bled for you, I've risked my life for you, and in the end, I can't even have a pack of spicy strips!"
Yao Mingyue acted like a little girl, making a scene. If it weren't for the injury on her leg, she would probably be rolling on the ground by now.
"Alright, alright, I'll go and ask the doctor in a while. If you can be discharged, I'll arrange it as soon as possible. Does that sound good?"
Xu Musen knew she was just making a fuss on purpose.
"You said it!"
Sure enough, Yao Mingyue's demeanor changed in an instant, immediately smiling happily as she looked up, ready to enjoy Xu Musen's feeding.
This shameless pose was somewhat reminiscent of An Nuannuan's adorably silly charm.
"Didn't Nuannuan come with you today?" Yao Mingyue noticed he had come alone today.
"She said she had to attend to some things back home."
Xu Musen mentioned that An Nuannuan had gone to her grandparents' home early that day, saying she was going to prepare some things and come back.
She was up to something mysterious again.
"She can actually bear not to stick to you..."
Yao Mingyue muttered quietly, yet her eyes sparkled merrily as she gazed at Xu Musen with a pair of phoenix eyes that turned shrewdly.
"What mischievous thoughts are you harboring now?"
Xu Musen felt that if this were in his previous life, he almost would have needed to fortify himself with a bowl of softshell turtle soup to replenish his "ammunition store."
"You're chickening out~"
Yao Mingyue looked at him and couldn't help but laugh with rosy cheeks, remembering how in her previous life, she would take all his "pocket money" every day to prevent this guy from flirting around!
Of course, she wasn't a little girl back then, and doing what she liked with the person she liked was very fulfilling.
Only occasionally, just occasionally, she would go a tad too far...
"I'm chickening out on you?"
Xu Musen snorted. Since his rebirth, he felt as though his teenage body had undergone a secondary tempering, strengthening it!
He was now terrifyingly strong!
"Tch, as if I don't know how much you weigh."
Yao Mingyue's gaze traveled over Xu Musen's body, and if this was before, she would have already made her move.
Xu Musen shook his head with a smile and continued to feed her.
"Xiao Sen is here."
It was late outside, and Liu Rushuang had arrived at the ward. She was still in her work suit, looking somewhat worn out.
During this time, she almost always stayed in the ward to accompany her daughter. Yao Mingyue had a psychological shadow from hospitals, and she didn't feel at ease leaving her daughter there alone.
"Mom, you sit and rest for a bit, I've also made dinner for you."
Xu Musen opened another layer of the lunch box, and the aroma of food tempted Liu Rushuang, who was still taking off her jacket, to lean in.
"It smells so good, Xiao Sen's cooking skills are really getting better and better. I haven't eaten all day; I haven't even washed my hands yet, Xiao Sen, feed me a bite too."
Liu Rushuang sniffed, leaning on Xu Musen's shoulder, and like Yao Mingyue, opened her luscious lips, waiting to be fed.
Yao Mingyue pursed her lips but still held back.
Xu Musen picked up a rib and fed it directly to her.
"Mmm~ It's so tasty, hehe, I'm getting a bit jealous of Ming Yue, being fed so many delicious things by Xiao Sen every day, I don't have that treatment."
Liu Rushuang chewed on the rib, smiling and ruffling Xu Musen's hair affectionately.
"Not at all, Mom, just tell me what you feel like eating in the future, and I'll make it for you too."
"Hehe, my son is the best. I also want to eat that pineapple pork!"
Liu Rushuang said with a beaming smile, and Xu Musen picked up another piece to feed her.
"Such quality! I want more of that shrimp..."
"Mom, you should hurry and change so you can come eat."
Yao Mingyue couldn't help but feel jealous. What's with this, why does it always seem like she's even clingier than her?
