Qin Songmo's health was still much worse after all.
He hadn't cared about his health over the years, or that he might never be able to open his eyes again tomorrow.
To him, life and death are as light as snowflakes falling from the sky.
When he was young, his mother was still alive, so he followed his mother's advice and studied hard, hoping to make a name for himself in the future.
Later, his mother passed away. He was able to live to become the new top scholar of the Chu State and the first young prime minister of the Chu State, all thanks to his mother's expectations for him.
Gradually, he completely accepted his mother's departure, and life and death were no longer so important to him.
The so-called people of the world and the suffering common people are just a piece of advice to him.
Until early autumn this year, he picked up a ragged little girl on the roadside...
"...Daddy refuses to eat again? Since Daddy won't eat, then I won't eat either."
"Shengyi wants to starve with Daddy!"
The soft childish voice coming from the dining room door made Qin Songmo, who was sitting at the dining table, stiffen.
He frowned after taking a look at the meal in front of him. As soon as he placed his fingers on the chopsticks, he let out a long sigh.
He looked towards the dining hall door with a hint of helplessness, and a helpless smile appeared on the man's thin face. "Can you please forgive Daddy?"
The child recovered quickly. Li Shengyi, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed coughing and refusing to take medicine two days ago, was now able to run around the entire prime minister's residence.
She had just come in from outside, wearing a tiger-head hat on her head. Her little face was red from the cold wind, making her look even more adorable.
Hearing Qin Songmo's plea for mercy, Li Shengyi trotted forward.
She first stood on tiptoe to take a look at the food on the table that had hardly been touched. When she retracted her gaze and looked up into the dark eyes of the person in front of her, the expression on her little face froze, and the next moment, she spoke in shame and anger.
"Daddy, using the honey trap is not advisable!"
"No matter how good-looking you are, you can't eat it!"
"The Imperial Physician said that your body is severely depleted and needs to be replenished. Otherwise, you won't be able to travel with Shengyi in the future!"
"But..." Qin Songmo looked at the medicinal food in front of him, and the helpless expression on his handsome face became even more intense.
"No buts!" Li Shengyi pulled the round stool next to her in front of her, and then sat on it with a grunt. Then she spread out her small hands to the person in front of her, "Give me the bowl."
Qin Songmo handed the bowl of noodles made with tonic powder to his little daughter.
"Chopsticks."
After picking up the chopsticks, Li Shengyi picked up a noodle to cool it down, and then saw her with a stern face, holding the noodle high and placing it in front of him.
Qin Songmo has been smart since he was young. He has an early memory and remembers many things that happened when he was one or two years old.
He clearly remembers that when he was over one year old, whenever his mother fed him rice soup and noodles, he would refuse her and eat with a small spoon.
Now, after the Chinese New Year, he is already 29. Now, his little daughter is holding chopsticks, picking up a piece of noodles, blowing it cool and bringing it to him...
"Cough... cough cough cough... Chengyi, Daddy can do it himself..."
"No, you can't." Li Shengyi retorted sternly, "Daddy only eats a little bit every time he eats. Even a dung fork eats more than you."
"Judging from the amount of food Daddy eats, not to mention the food he wastes, how can Daddy's body ever recover to its former state?"
Her face instantly fell, and Li Shengyi pouted. In the blink of an eye, her eyes were red. "If it weren't for worrying about Shengyi, Daddy wouldn't..."
"I'll eat it. I'll finish it all."
Qin Songmo wanted to reach out and take the bowl and chopsticks from his daughter, but as soon as he raised his hand, his little daughter moved the chopsticks in front of him away.
Helplessly, he could only finish the whole bowl of noodles with his little daughter's hand. Qin Songmo, who had no appetite to begin with, frowned slightly because of the bloating in his stomach.
Generally speaking, he doesn't eat too much during meals.
One reason is that it is easy to feel sleepy after eating, which can lead to unclear thinking.
The second reason is that he has no feelings about life and death, and eating is just a way for him to maintain his physical strength.
He usually only eats until he is 50% full, but today he ate until he was 80% full.
Qin Songmo's throat rolled slightly, and he suppressed the urge to hiccup, and then he was able to take the bowl and chopsticks from his little daughter.
He reached out and took the little daughter sitting in front of him into his arms. He raised his hand and gently stroked her already hot cheek. "Where have you been playing?"
Li Shengyi sat in his arms, and after watching him eat a bowl of noodles obediently, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his little face.
She raised her head, her almond-shaped eyes, which seemed larger because she was thinner, were filled with smiles. "I'm going to look for Uncle Shen. Uncle Mingyue said that Uncle Shen's fingers moved today. I believe he will be better soon."
The little daughter sitting in his arms was wearing a tiger-head hat with two tiger ears specially made on it.
Qin Songmo watched the two tiger ears sway gently as she raised her head.
With a slight heartbeat, he raised his hands and pinched the two ears, "Really? How is Wangchen's internal injury?"
"The imperial physician said he's much better now. I squat beside Father Shen every day and watch him drink the medicine with my own eyes!"
Li Shengyi did not feel tired running around the Prime Minister's Mansion because he was supervising the recovery of his two fathers at the same time. Instead, he was full of pride.
Qin Songmo listened to her proud tone, and his almost bloodless thin lips curled up slightly.
However, just when the corners of his lips were about to rise, something flashed through his mind and the corners of his lips fell again.
His throat rolled slightly, and he lowered his head to look at the little daughter in his arms, "Shengyi."
"Hmm? What's wrong, Daddy?"
Li Shengyi was just wondering what it would be like in Beijing during the New Year when she heard her father suddenly calling her from above her head.
She raised her innocent little face, blinked, and saw her father's thin lips slightly opened.
"What was Sheng Yi thinking about just now?"
Li Shengyi's face suddenly twisted into a ball when he heard that. "What? Daddy, don't you know what I was thinking?"
Qin Songmo shook his head, "I could have heard it, but..."
Counting the days, two days have passed since the little daughter was rescued from the Black Wind Village and the father and daughter both woke up.
Over the past two days, he always felt that something seemed different.
It was not until now that he saw the thoughtful look on his little daughter's face that he suddenly remembered.
Since waking up from the coma, he hasn't heard his little daughter's voice for two days.
After hearing him say "but", Li Shengyi immediately turned around in his arms, "But what? Daddy, can't you hear my heart?"
