The bewildered Chu Chu: "..."

What does this mean?

Regardless of what it means, she understood one thing: if she didn't go to the doctor, her mother wouldn't allow her to play with her friends.

The friends who were prompted nodded dramatically, "Yes, yes, Aunt Lan is right~~~"

neat:"……"

This isn't right; it feels like I'm being abandoned.

After weighing her options, Chu Chu decided to go see a doctor with Lan Qingyue. Her friends, like her protectors, followed behind her in a large group, crowding the small clinic.

The female doctor at the clinic, wearing a blue disposable mask, gently said to Chuchu, "Little one, your forehead feels a bit hot~ Auntie will take your temperature with a thermometer first, okay?"

Chu Chu, with her chubby little legs kicking, leaned lazily against Lan Qingyue, tilting her head and asking, "Is it measured here~~~" She pointed to her armpit.

The doctor smiled, "Yes, just leave it here for five minutes."

"Well... Chuchu won't get any shots, okay?" The little one started bargaining, her big eyes darting around the clinic. The shelves were full of bottles and boxes of medicine, but she didn't see any syringes. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still said with trepidation, "Chuchu is just looking, she really won't get any shots, okay?"

Doctor: "Okay, okay, no injection needed."

Her little clinic really doesn't have syringes; all the patients who come in just get some medicine and leave.

Chu Chu had a low-grade fever, and the doctor prescribed two days' worth of medicine. Even after Lan Qingyue carried her out of the clinic, Chu Chu was still uneasy and couldn't believe that she really hadn't had an injection. She was clearly happy and chatted excitedly with Si Si and Qi Huanhuan all the way.

Back at Lu Yan's house, Chu Chu couldn't stay still after taking her medicine. She kept walking up and down the stairs, and Si Si and Qi Huanhuan followed her around like little shadows.

Lin Muze stood downstairs, while Si Jingxuan stood in the second-floor corridor, looking quite like they were protecting the three kids.

Xiu Kaijie pouted, looking somewhat dejected, and stood next to Lin Muze. He nudged Lin Muze's shoulder and said, "Lin Muze, let's invite Si Jingxuan and go play basketball."

He's been away from home for several days and really wants to play basketball. Luckily, there's a basketball court on the street, and he's been looking for an opportunity to play, but his daily schedule is too packed, so he doesn't have the time.

Although there was more time in the evening, Lin Ranran didn't want to go out. She stayed home chatting and eating sunflower seeds with that older woman, while Xiu Kaijie could only play with his cracked yo-yo to pass the time.

Lin Muze decisively refused, "I'm not going."

He needs to stay here and take care of Chuchu.

Speechless, Xiu Kaijie ran up to the second floor again. "Si Jingxuan, let's go play basketball, what do you think?"

Si Jingxuan asked, "What about Lin Muze? Is he going?"

If Lin Muze goes, he's willing to go too.

Xiu Kaijie: "..."

Why ask him? Can't we just be together?

Xiu Kaijie nodded and lied through his teeth, "Go ahead, I just asked him downstairs, and he said he was going too, so he told me to come up and get you."

"Really?" Si Jingxuan asked skeptically.

"Of course it's true! Come on, let's go together." Xiu Kaijie grabbed Si Jingxuan's arm and went downstairs, afraid that he would change his mind.

Three little kids who had just run upstairs bumped into them and exclaimed happily, "We want to go too!"
