Chapter 275 Feeding Medicine
Xiao Cheng looked at the little bundle huddled inside the big bed, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't go out.
I placed the medicine bowl on the bedside table and opened the window as wide as possible to let the wind in completely.
He then sat back on the edge of the bed, stretched out his long arm, and easily scooped out the ball of blankets from the inside of the bed.
Without lifting the blanket, she gently patted him twice and said, "You'll only feel better after you finish your medicine."
The blanket shifted, and a muffled voice came from inside: "Didn't you already have a shot?"
Bai Lu was taken to the hospital by Xiao Cheng and then returned. Although she had been in a deep sleep, she remembered the pain of being pricked by a needle in her arm very clearly, the pain etched into her mind.
She was too weak to roll up her sleeves when she woke up in the morning, which is understandable. After vomiting, she had a bit of strength left before she died, and she rolled up her sleeves to check her arm without hesitation. Sure enough, there were needle marks.
She was given an injection while she was unconscious.
Xiao Cheng said she had a fever after getting drunk, so she must have had a fever-reducing injection. Since the fever subsided, she didn't need to take any more medicine.
However, Xiao Cheng, who was outside the blanket, said, "You can't eat anything without taking your medicine."
Bai Lu: "..."
Are these two related?
She had never heard of taking medicine and being able to eat. What kind of quack doctor misdiagnosed her?
However, in order to recover faster, I might as well try a bite.
After all, it was medicine personally prepared by the big boss.
Bai Lu did a lot of mental preparation under the covers before slowly peeking out, revealing her two eyes.
Unsurprisingly, her eyes met Xiao Cheng's. She smiled awkwardly but politely, peeking out her head.
Staring at the bowl of medicine in his hand, I tried to resist but couldn't help looking away.
"This medicine smells terrible, and it must taste very bitter."
Traditional Chinese medicine is indeed very good; it regulates the body, strengthens the foundation, addresses the root cause of problems, and nourishes the body.
But the taste is quite unique, with sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors, making it almost unbearable for most people.
Xiao Cheng watched as the girl turned her face away to avoid him, then glanced back at him with a hesitant and struggling expression. He couldn't help but smile, and picked up a small spoonful of dark brown medicine.
I blew on it lightly before handing it over.
"Why don't you try a bite first?"
Bai Lu turned her head in disbelief, completely stunned: "There's a saying about tasting medicine?"
Shouldn't the standard procedure be to make her drink it all in one gulp, or to hold her nose and drink all its "comfort"?
Xiao Cheng's words of comfort were not only different from the usual approach, but also different in every way: "Try a sip first, and if you really can't drink it, then don't drink it."
What a wonderful thing!
Bai Lu decisively took a bite, then immediately spat it out...
Before I could even spit it out, a piece of candy was stuffed into my mouth, its rich sweetness filling my entire oral cavity.
—It's maltose.
Bai Lu chewed it, suppressing the bitterness in her mouth, and the urge to vomit disappeared instantly.
Before I could even say thank you, a can of fresh fruit juice caught my eye, its rich, fragrant orange aroma filling the air.
"This juice... seems familiar." A memory flashed through my mind, but I couldn't quite grasp it.
Seeing Bai Lu's thoughtful face and recalling her medical advice, Xiao Cheng understood everything.
He explained, "These are the rewards given to the champion team by the Pingcheng Guard when the dragon boats entered Pingcheng last night. There are also seasonal fruits, which are given to the champion team of the dragon boat race every year. We finished the fruit last night, and each person gets two cans of juice. You can take the rest home."
After hearing Xiao Cheng's explanation, Bai Lu felt a pang of regret; something interesting must have happened last night.
But she couldn't remember anything, only the time she spent enjoying the scenery after boarding the boat, and then eating the king-sized rice dumpling.
And then that was it.
I guess it's because I had a fever after drinking; my head is still a bit heavy. I'll be able to remember things once I recover later.
Bai Lu took the juice from Xiao Cheng, took a sip, and found it to be sweet with a hint of bitterness—the original taste of juice, without any additives.
The fruity flavor is great; it sweeps away the medicinal taste with its strong and domineering action, eliminating the last trace of bitterness.
Suddenly, Bai Lu had a flash of inspiration and looked at Xiao Cheng with bright eyes: "I have a good way to take medicine."
Xiao Cheng scooped up a small spoonful of medicine and stopped it near her lips: "What?"
Bai Lu handed the juice bottle back to him, her face beaming with excitement, and suggested, "Pour out the juice, put the medicine in, and trick me into drinking the juice!"
Xiao Cheng: "..."
Is there really such a way to take medicine?
For a fleeting moment, Xiao Cheng felt that the slight excitement on Bai Lu's face was at least 90% genuine.
In the end, her bright eyes and earnest expression made him believe her again.
This method might be feasible.
After all, she said it herself.
Xiao Cheng took another large bowl, went to the table by the window, turned his back, and poured out all the juice from the jar.
Then pour in the bitter and unpleasant-smelling medicine.
When he turned around with the newly produced "juice" in his hand, he found that Bai Lu was staring at him without blinking.
That focused gaze likely meant that he had watched the entire process of changing his dressing.
Can this... still be fooled?
"Acheng, come here quickly, I want to drink juice." Bai Lu's eyes lit up as she stared at the juice in Xiao Cheng's hand.
Xiao Cheng: "..."
It seems like you can still fool them.
Bai Lu took the juice jug with both hands and kept telling herself that it contained delicious orange juice.
It contains natural, delicious orange juice—a tasty and healthy green orange juice.
One bite, and the corner of my mouth twitched.
Xiao Cheng looked at her face, which had regained its composure after the initial shock, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
He reached out and handed her a piece of malt candy.
Bai Lu took a bite.
Chewing maltose while drinking orange juice with a death-defying spirit, the delicious orange juice is a mix of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty.
After drinking the orange juice, Bai Lu started to feel drowsy again. It wasn't that she wanted to sleep, but that her mind wanted to sleep.
Heavy...heavy...
"Lulu?"
Xiao Cheng woke Bai Lu up a second before she lay down, and saw that she was looking at him with only half her eyes open.
He then spooned the egg porridge he had just heated up from the kitchen to her lips: "Eat it before you go to sleep."
Bai Lu, half-asleep, glanced at the egg porridge at her lips and shook her head.
"I already had juice, I'm full."
She really did drink the juice. After she finished Xiao Cheng's orange juice, Xiao Cheng gave her some organic orange juice.
So I'm a little full now.
It wasn't a feeling of wanting to vomit.
Seeing that she was about to slip back into bed, Xiao Cheng said quietly, "If you're not going to eat egg porridge, then get up and eat lunch."
Bai Lu abruptly stopped sliding down her chair: "Does that mean after drinking the egg porridge, I can sleep until I naturally wake up?"
Xiao Cheng nodded slightly: "Okay." I'll call you for dinner.
Bai Lu was delighted to receive a positive answer. She immediately took the bowl of porridge and quickly finished the egg porridge.
Exhausted, he fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Cheng covered her with the blanket, raised his hand to check her forehead temperature, and confirmed that it was still normal.
He then took the bowl out.
Gently close the door.
When Xiao Wei got home from school, he went straight to Bai Lu's room, where he bumped into a pair of long, hard legs.
