Hu Yanzhe, who had been in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the little dumpling's voice.

He didn't expect the little dumpling to appear suddenly, and hurriedly grabbed the blanket next to him to cover his belly.

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

"I'm a boy, how could I possibly have a baby!"

Huyan Xiaozhe angrily retorted.

The little dumpling took a few steps forward and put its arm on the edge of the bed.

She propped her head up with her hand and looked at Huyan Xiaozhe with a smile.

"But little brother, your belly is bulging."

Huyan Xiaoze covered his stomach with the blanket.

"Nonsense, I just ate too much."

The little dumpling shook its head and said, "No! Even if we kids eat a lot, our bellies won't be that big."

Huyan Xiaoze stubbornly said:

"I just ate too much! The imperial physician said I just have indigestion."

"No, no, no!" the little dumpling retorted.

"Young man, you have something in your stomach."

Hearing this, Yu Yiman, who was standing nearby, was startled and quickly stepped forward to ask:

"What did you say? What's inside Xiaoze's stomach?"

The little dumpling tapped its chubby cheeks with its finger and said in a soft, adorable voice:

"Auntie, is your little brother a picky eater?"

"No! I didn't!" Hu Yanxiaozhe answered first, his face showing the stubbornness unique to a young man.

Yu Yiman glared at him.

Even though the child is like this, his little mouth is still so stubborn!

Yu Yiman answered the little dumpling:

"Yes, he's a picky eater and only eats meat, so the imperial physician said he has indigestion, the food is piling up in his body and he's bloated."

The little dumpling listened attentively to Yu Yiman's words. She stared at Hu Yanxiao's belly, thought for a while, and then slowly spoke:

"Young man, your stomach isn't bloated, it's full of worms!"

Yu Yiman was stunned on the spot, feeling a chill rise from the soles of her feet and slowly spread throughout her body.

insect?

How could there be worms in Xiaoze's stomach?

Yu Yiman held the little dumpling's hand and asked in surprise, "Are you sure Xiaoze has worms in his stomach? Are you sure?"

The little girl nodded firmly; she had seen it very clearly just now.

Inside Huyan Xiaozhe's stomach, there was a small cluster of insect eggs. Many of the insects had already hatched and were feeding on the food inside Huyan Xiaozhe's stomach.

Although the food accumulated in the body was being eaten away by the insects, the insects grew bigger and bigger as a result, and their originally small white bodies became round and plump.

More and more insects are hatching from their eggs.

These insects are the reason why Huyan Xiaozhe's belly is getting bigger and he is in pain.

The little dumpling explained all of this to Yu Yiman.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yiman immediately looked at Fu Yun.

Fu Yun also looked back at Yu Yiman with a shocked expression.

"The little boy's worms in his stomach need to be eliminated right away," the little dumpling tugged at Yu Yiman's sleeve and said to her.

"If we don't eliminate them, after the insects finish eating their food, they'll have nothing else to eat, and they'll start gnawing on the little boy's belly."

"At that time, the little brother's stomach will have a big hole."

Upon hearing the little dumpling's words, Hu Yanzhe looked at his stomach and screamed in fear.

"ah?"

"No, no, I don't want a big hole to be torn in my stomach."

Huyan Xiaozhe cried out in fear.

The little girl walked to his side, reached out and touched Huyan Xiaozhe's hair, comforting him:

"Don't cry, don't cry, little brother, don't be afraid. Once you get rid of all the worms in your stomach, you'll feel better!"

Huyan Xiaozhe looked at the little dumpling with teary eyes, his pretty little face full of fear and grievance.

"Really?"

The little dumpling nodded vigorously and said, "It's true, the little dumpling never lies."

The little dumpling knew that Huyan Xiaozhe must be very scared right now, so it was time not to frighten him anymore. It was time to comfort him and give him a glimmer of hope.
