"Let's not eat anymore..."
What does "I don't want to eat anymore..." mean?
"Why, you really want to eat your father's feast."
Although Caius had not been here for two years, he understood the meaning of the banquet and had even seen people having a banquet with his own eyes.
"Dad, are you thirsty?"
Little Li Yao cleverly changed the subject, thinking that his father spoke so softly, even a little unclearly, and his throat must be very uncomfortable.
He is quite filial now.
Caius pulled the corner of his lips, and his eyes turned to meet a curious gaze.
"Don't talk anymore. Mom said you need to rest." Li Yao sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, feeling mixed emotions. "It's just... why are you allergic? What did you eat?"
What did you eat?
Caius thought carefully and thought that apart from that big meal, he didn't seem to have eaten anything else... Oh, no, he did.
After sending the child to Mu Mu's house, Li Qiao had already entered the room when he came back. He didn't want to disturb her, so he could only sit on the sofa to kill time.
There were two bags of sugar-roasted chestnuts on the cupboard. They had gone cold but no one had eaten them. Caius had nothing to do, so he sat there for a while and peeled and ate them all. And now it's been like this.
“I’m allergic to chestnuts…”
Li Qiao walked in from outside and looked at Caius as if he was looking at some rare little animal. "In that case, don't eat this anymore. There's nothing I really like at home anyway."
Caius didn't say anything, but nodded obediently, his eyes fixed on Li Qiao. Thanks to Li Qiao for saving him, otherwise he might have really died. His throat was swollen at that time.
His gaze made Li Qiao feel a little uncomfortable, and more so, she was a little stunned. She coughed lightly, "You, um...don't look in the mirror when you get home."
Caius: “…Ah?” He realized belatedly that he hadn’t looked in the mirror yet, and wondered what his handsome face looked like.
"Am I... ugly now?" He raised his hand with great effort and touched his face gently, a little afraid to touch it, "Isn't... I disfigured?" His face was disfigured, which was more painful than killing him.
"No, what are you thinking about? You're getting an injection, don't move." Li Qiao pulled his hand away. "Just apply the medicine and it will be healed in a few days. If you're worried about being seen by others, then don't go out until you're better."
"The tone of your voice makes me feel like you're raising me like a son...hiss...!"
Caius widened his eyes in horror, unable to believe that Li Qiao pinched him. He was injured, very fragile, and his heart was easily hurt. Why did he treat him like this? It was so cruel.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you concerned about something going wrong? Behave yourself." Li Qiao raised his hand and waved it in front of him. Caius instantly became obedient, fearing that the palm would fall on his face.
"I don't like staying in the hospital. I think I'm fine now, so can I go home?" Caius's appearance is really suitable for charming people, but he always makes faces and makes inappropriate expressions, which blows away his charm and makes him look silly.
His request wasn't too much, but...
"The doctor said it's best for you to stay here for observation overnight, so just take care of yourself and I'll take you home tomorrow." Li Qiao rejected him calmly.
Although the words "take you home" make people feel happy, is it true that one will have to stay in the hospital alone for a night?
"What if I need to go to the bathroom..."
He said this without thinking. Li Qiao glanced at his long legs covered under the quilt and asked, "What's wrong with your legs?" How come he can't go to the toilet by himself with such a good pair of legs?
Caius: “…Oh.” Sorry, he forgot that he was just allergic, not a serious illness that would leave him bedridden and unable to take care of himself.
"Okay, then we'll leave after a while. The two little ones have to go to school tomorrow. I'll pick you up tomorrow."
There was no fluctuation in Li Qiao's tone, so Caius didn't dare to raise any opinions. What's more, he actually had no opinions, so this was the best outcome.
"I…"
"Don't talk."
These words were said by Li Yao. Caius hesitated to speak and nodded silently. Okay, he didn't say anything.
But, isn't this too boring? He wants to talk.
"Dad, do you want some biscuits?" Little Li Yao touched the biscuits in his pocket and hurriedly took them out and handed them to Caius. If he gave them to his father, he wouldn't have to eat them.
Before Caius could say anything, Li Qiao stopped him, "Is this something Mumu gave you? Your dad has a sore throat, so keep it for yourself."
“…Oh.” It means you don’t want to keep it for eating.
After staying in the hospital until 10:30 in the evening, the children were already feeling sleepy and had not yet taken a bath. Li Qiao wanted to take them away, but Caius pursed his lips and nodded, looking pitiful.
He was alone in the cold hospital, feeling lonely and helpless.
"Leave."
"Well, bye."
"Goodbye, Dad."
Looking at their backs, he sighed, his throat felt a little uncomfortable, and he sat up to pour a glass of water.
Caius doesn't have many friends here. If anything happens to him, to be honest, he can only rely on Li Qiao.
For example, now, if Li Qiao hadn't taken care of him, he would really have been left to fend for himself in the hospital.
Thinking of this, I felt quite miserable and sighed, "This is too uncool..."
He was never handsome in front of Li Qiao and those two kids. His handsomeness could not last more than three seconds. He always made a fool of himself and let them see him at his most embarrassing.
But fortunately, they would not laugh at him, but would care about him sincerely. Now he has such a family, and it feels... not bad.
Thinking about beautiful things and people, he felt relaxed and slept soundly. On the other hand, Li Qiao took care of the two children by himself, washed them up, and sent them to their respective rooms. Only then did he have time to sit on the sofa and rest.
There are still a lot of things to do at home. Although I have a day off from work, running around and worrying about it is more tiring than working.
Because she had slept for a few hours during the day, she was not feeling sleepy now, so Li Qiao went to her laboratory. It was quiet there and she could calm down.
There were two other snakes kept here, a male and a female, kept separately. The one Caius gave her was a male, with a big appetite and a bad temper, and was very wild.
When Li Qiao was not around, it was Caius who fed them. Whenever he fed this violent guy, Caius would always regret it. He should have caught a docile one instead.
He was served delicious food and drinks, but the snake actually breathed on him. Although he was not afraid, he was worried that Li Qiao would be scared.
How could Li Qiao be afraid? At this moment, the snake was wrapped around her arm, acting very obediently, not at all as ferocious as it was in front of Caius.
Just at this moment, Li Qiao's cell phone rang. What could he want from her so late at night?
