Chapter 201 Acting Like a Grandson in Front of His Son

"Add some more salt."

Yu Yan's hands trembled slightly as she added the seasonings to the pot.

Shao Muyan stirred the soup, his gaze fixed on Yu Yan's face, a mischievous glint in his deep eyes, "So nervous?"

Yu Yan gave him a disapproving look. "Aren't you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous."

Shao Muyan said, "I'm a father, why would I be nervous?"

Looking at Shao Muyan's seemingly calm profile, Yu Yan thought to herself: It wasn't you who was crying while hugging someone back then.

Shao Muyan and Yu Yan cooked together, making a pot of porridge and a variety of dishes, all of which were Shao Yun's favorite foods.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the two paused in the corridor.

They exchanged a glance.

"You go first," Yu Yan waved her hand.

Shao Muyan: "You go first."

Yu Yan glanced at him: "His dad, don't back down."

"..."

Shao Muyan coughed lightly, showing no sign of backing down!

The two people carried two insulated buckets and a duffel bag containing clothes inside. When they entered, the nurse was changing Shao Yun's dressing. The blood-stained bandages were piled up next to her, and the new ones were stained red again, which was a shocking sight.

Shao Min was heartbroken and tears streamed down her face; she didn't dare to look at him for long.

When Shao Muyan and Yu Yan entered the room and saw this scene, their faces turned deathly pale.

The two people silently put down what they were doing and quickly stepped forward to help.

Unlike other children who cry and fuss, Shao Yun doesn't need the whole family to comfort him when he's in pain or upset. Even when he's in extreme pain, he just frowns and purses his lips, without uttering a sound, which makes the nurses feel very sorry for him.

"Does it hurt?"

The nurse said, "If it hurts, just cry. Don't bite your lip, or you'll get it bleeding."

Shao Muyan, Yu Yan, and Shao Min all looked at Shao Yun, their eyes red.

In contrast, Shao Yun was the strongest one.

Once the medicine was changed, he let go of his mouth. His lips, which had been bitten until they were bloodless, quickly turned red.

Blood beads appeared.

Just as Shao Muyan was about to wipe it for him, Shao Yun licked it himself.

Crying won't help.

Shao Yun said calmly, "Just change the medicine."

The strength and indifference in his words, beyond his years, startled the nurses present.

Yu Yan felt a pain in her heart, as if it were being cut by a knife.

After the nurses changed the dressing and gave some instructions, they took the used bandages out. A faint fishy smell filled the room, making it hard to breathe. The private hospital's single room was well-equipped, and Shao Min turned on the air conditioner to ventilate the room.

Shao Muyan and Yu Yan stood there for a while, while Shao Yun lay motionless on the bed, not even looking at them.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

This was the first time Yu Yan, who had always been close to Shao Yun, had faced such a situation, and she was somewhat at a loss for what to do.

People tend to get very busy when they feel awkward.

Yu Yan opened all the insulated containers, and the aroma of food wafted out. Yu Yan smiled at Shao Yun and said, "Yunyun, your... Auntie cooked you some millet and red date porridge. It's good for replenishing blood. Would you like to drink some?"

His voice betrayed an indescribable cautiousness and nervousness.

Shao Yun glanced at Yu Yan.

This is his aunt, who is also his biological mother.

The smile on her face was still so gentle and warm, possessing a heartwarming power that could melt people's hearts.

Like Shao Muyan, when Shao Yun first felt Yu Yan's magnetic field, he couldn't help but want to get close to her.

Where is there any reason to speak of?

Since she called herself his aunt, Shao Yun had no reason to ignore her.

He only felt aversion to the identity of "biological mother", but not to his aunt.

"Mmm." Shao Yun was as obedient as ever: "Thank you, Auntie."

Yu Yan placed two pillows under him, propped herself up slightly, pulled up a chair and sat on the edge of the bed. Holding a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, she gently blew on the water for Shao Yun and tenderly and meticulously brought it to his lips: "Come on, open your mouth."

"..." Even though Shao Yun tried to appear calm, he was still a six-year-old child, and his face couldn't help but turn red.

"Auntie, I can do it myself."

“You’re injured, let me feed you.”

Yu Yan smiled at him: "What, are you getting distant from your aunt?"

Shao Yun pursed his lips and opened his mouth.

Yu Yan slowly and methodically fed him porridge spoonful by spoonful.

Shao Min watched from a distance, rubbed her nose, glanced at Shao Muyan, and winked at him.

what to do?

Your son refuses to acknowledge you and is throwing a tantrum.

Shao Muyan understood the situation clearly and quickly adjusted his mood.

Clearly, this kid isn't ready to acknowledge his biological parents yet. In his world, his aunt is closer than his mother, and his uncle is closer than his father. He still accepts them staying with him as his aunt and uncle, not as his parents.

If that's the case, why bother about so-called status?

Shao Muyan gently pressed Shao Min's shoulder to reassure her, then walked over to the bedside and said with a smile, "Don't just drink porridge, eat some vegetables. Your aunt and I made them all. See what you want to eat, and your uncle will feed you."

Shao Yun glanced at Shao Muyan, gave a soft hum, and said nothing.

He wasn't angry with his aunt because he was magnanimous, but that doesn't mean he wasn't angry with his uncle.

Shao Yun is so smart.

Upon learning about his origins, he understood why his uncle had been acting strangely lately.

His aunt must have just found out the truth recently, just like him, but his uncle knew it long ago, yet he was still pretending in front of him.

Hmph, let you pretend!

If you're so capable, then keep pretending.

Shao Yun secretly resented Shao Muyan in his heart.

Unfortunately, Shao Muyan was feeling very guilty at the moment and couldn't muster any authority as an elder, so he could only act like a grandson in front of his son.

It turned out that Shao Muyan and Yu Yan had prepared their answers beforehand, thinking about how to explain what happened back then to Shao Yun. However, given Shao Yun's attitude and his complete lack of intention to acknowledge them, they couldn't bring up the topic.

Shao Yun ate quite a bit of food, which was very considerate of him.

Not only did he drink a bowl of porridge, but he also ate quite a few side dishes.

He doesn't eat much, but children his age are growing rapidly, so he's definitely not small.

Shao Yun never complained about food. In the first few years at the welfare home, the nutrition wasn't very good, and he was as thin as a chicken. But the director and teachers would rather save their own food rations to make sure the children were full.

Dean Xia always says with a smile, "Eat your fill, grow tall, and be healthy so you have the energy to do things."

He's injured now and can't do many things, which is a huge hassle. He needs to eat well to recover sooner.

After the meal, Shao Yun instinctively wanted to help clear the dishes.

Yu Yan quickly replied, "I don't need you, I'm injured."

Shao Yun reluctantly lowered his hand.

He looked at Shao Muyan and Yu Yan, and didn't forget to tell them, "Uncle, Aunt, you just go about your business. There are doctors and nurses here, and Mom has even hired a caregiver for me. I can take care of myself, so you don't need to worry."

As always, Shao Yun was sensible and mature, and thought everything through properly.

But his continued statement after learning Shao Muyan and Yu Yan's identities effectively distanced him from them.

It was practically a blatant declaration: Sorry, I don't acknowledge you as my parents.
