Upon hearing this, Zhou Kaifang hesitated.

Seeing Zhou Kaifang hesitate, Zhao Xiaotong quickly pressed her advantage, "You have an older brother at home, are you afraid you can't handle a little girl like her?"

Zhou Kaifang's older brother is all muscle and works hard, so he must be quite strong when it comes to beating people.

When her brother was mentioned, Zhou Kaifang became a little timid.

Although he usually targets his sister-in-law, he can't go too far in front of his brother.

“You say I’m willing, but Lin Yuxi isn’t?” Zhou Kaifang licked his dry lips, thought of her appearance, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up his mind.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."

"How long will it take? If it takes too long, I'll go back," Zhou Kaifang said.

"soon."

The sun was making the two of them feel uneasy, but seeing that Lin Yuxi was still sitting at the entrance of the courtyard, showing no signs of the medicine taking effect, Zhou Kaifang was also getting a little impatient.

"Don't be impatient, you can't rush things," Zhao Xiaotong quickly reassured her.

There were no trees to provide shade in the yard, and the eaves couldn't block out the sun.

Zhou Kaifang suddenly asked, "What does it taste like? Why does it taste like chicken soup?"

Zhao Xiaotong was slightly taken aback, then remembered that the chicken soup she had stewed at noon was still on the table. Zhou Kaifang was greedy, and if he saw the chicken soup, he would probably gulp it down even though it was cold. But in order to keep him in check, she was willing to give up a chicken.

"Aunt Zhang bought me a chicken. I stewed it at noon and there was some left. Would you like some to drink? I'll go get you a bowl."

Zhou Kaifang waved his hand, "Alright, go ahead."

Zhao Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief, then went into the main room, took out a small bowl, which was covered with a lid on the table. She then removed the lid and filled the bowl with chicken soup.

Zhou Kaifang didn't stand on ceremony. He finished the bowl of soup and meat in a few gulps and then handed the empty bowl to her, saying, "Is there any more? Give me another bowl."

"Okay." Zhao Xiaotong gritted her teeth and made him another bowl.

Her heart was bleeding. There wasn't much chicken soup left to begin with. She had eaten one chicken with Zhu Fengru at noon, and then gave some to Lin Yuxi. There wasn't much left, and now she had given Zhou Kai two bowls. The rest was almost gone.

If she doesn't finish it now, Zhou Kaifang will probably ask for a third bowl after eating the second.

While she was making him chicken soup, Zhao Xiaotong took the opportunity to stuff a few pieces of chicken into her mouth and drink several mouthfuls of soup. Luckily, the weather was hot and the chicken soup hadn't gotten cold yet, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to drink it.

"Is it not ready yet? Zhao Xiaotong, you're not secretly eating it, are you? That's why you don't want to give it to me."

Zhou Kaifang's urging voice rang out from outside. Zhao Xiaotong didn't have time to swallow the meat and almost choked a few times. She quickly drank several mouthfuls of chicken soup before she could swallow the mushy piece of chicken.

"No, let me taste this chicken soup to see if it's cold. It wouldn't be good if you got an upset stomach if you ate it later."

This made her feel like she was doing something wrong, when what was originally just her inspirational message was being used against her.

After just two bowls of chicken soup, Zhou Kaifang felt unquenched and even hotter, so he immediately ordered Zhao Xiaotong to get him some water, saying, "It's too hot, hurry up and get me a bowl of water."

Zhao Xiaotong had no choice but to fetch him water, unable to express her frustration.

After drinking several bowls of water, Zhou Kaifang still felt hot. After running back and forth a few times, Zhao Xiaotong also started to feel hot.

Zhou Kaifang was sweating more and more, and finally simply went inside. "Let me come in and sit for a while. It must be because it's too sunny outside. My sweat has soaked my hair and clothes."
