Wu Ma went out with the other two nannies. At the door, Xu Nuo kept telling Wu Ma the route, where to go first and where to go next, and even provided them with two cars!
Holding the list of ingredients she had written down, a whole sheet of paper, Wu Ma kept repeating the route Xu Nuo had promised to tell her before leaving.
Once the door was closed, only the two of them and the bodyguards outside the villa remained inside.
Xu Nuo walked to the sofa, picked up a cushion, lay down on the sofa, and rested her head on Ye Linyan's lap.
Ye Linyan set up a small table in front of the sofa, placed his computer on it to work, and looked down to see Xu Nuo comfortably closing his eyes.
"What do you want to eat? Why all this fuss?"
Since waking up, Xu Nuo hasn't had a good appetite. I have to coax and cajole her to get her to eat more each time. She hasn't even asked for anything on her own initiative!
“Didn’t you find me a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to regulate my body? He said he would give me dietary supplements and gave me a prescription. Some of the herbs need to be picked up from him, so I asked Aunt Wu to get them. There are also some ingredients that I need to buy!”
Xu Nuo turned to the side, closed her eyes, and wrapped one arm around Ye Linyan's waist:
“Soup needs to be simmered for a while to be ready! So I sent Wu Ma to buy the ingredients, and another group went to get the medicine. Then Wu Ma came back to simmer the soup, and the others went to buy other ingredients. That way, we won’t waste any time!”
Ye Linyan paused on the keyboard, thought for a moment, and then asked:
"Then why did you send Aunt Wu out? Wouldn't it have been more time-efficient to just have her wait at home?"
"She said she knew where to buy good ingredients, and also some poultry; she was going to go to farmers' homes to get poultry that hadn't been fed with feed!"
"poultry?"
Ye Linyan was somewhat puzzled.
"Ah! It's good for your health! That's what the traditional Chinese medicine doctor said!"
Xu Nuo replied with his eyes closed.
Ye Linyan touched Xu Nuo's thin cheeks. It had been almost a month, and she hadn't gained any weight back!
"Make a list of what you want tomorrow, and I'll have someone get it done for you!"
"No need! Those people you're looking for don't know anything about good products. They only know that more money means better products. Let Aunt Wu buy them directly from the farmers!"
"Don't talk, I want to take a nap!"
Xu Nuo leaned closer to Ye Linyan, tightening her grip on the pillow.
Ye Linyan wanted him to sleep in the bedroom, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it. She was afraid he would catch a cold, and there was nothing to cover him with. Xu Nuo lay on her lap, but he couldn't get up.
After thinking for a moment, he took off his coat and covered Xu Nuo with it.
————————————————————————
Xu Nuo didn't know when she fell asleep or how long she slept.
He opened his eyes when he heard the door open.
"Is Aunt Wu back?"
Xu Nuo rolled over groggily, rubbed her eyes, and asked.
"Um."
Ye Linyan pulled down Xu Nuo's hand that was rubbing her eyes and whispered:
"Your hands have bacteria, don't rub them."
"Too much trouble!"
Xu Nuo perked up and got off Ye Linyan's lap. Seeing that Ye Linyan's computer was still on, she knew he hadn't finished his work yet. She threw her coat to Ye Linyan and ran to the kitchen.
"Aunt Wu, have you brought them all back?"
"As you instructed, I brought them all back! These are medicinal herbs, and I bought them from the farmers. I was worried I wouldn't be able to process them properly back home, so I paid extra to have them cleaned up at the farmers' houses. I watched them all being processed, so don't worry!"
Wu Ma took the items out of the bag one by one and placed them on the table.
"Here's how to do it. Take a look. If you don't understand anything, I have the phone number of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. You can call him directly."
"Young Master, I went to the traditional Chinese medicine doctor and specifically consulted him. I wrote everything down, so please don't worry!"
Xu Nuo picked up the medicinal herbs placed on the table and looked at them.
What is this?
Aunt Wu glanced at what Xu Nuo was holding and replied with a smile:
"That deer antler is a treasure for the traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He said he wouldn't sell it if you hadn't offered such a high price!"
"oh."
Xu Nuo was still looking at the medicinal herbs that Wu Ma had brought back, some of which she recognized and some she didn't.
After tidying up the medicinal herbs and ingredients, Aunt Wu asked Xu Nuo again before starting:
"Young master, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor says that one soup a day is enough. Are you sure you want to make two servings? Should we ask the doctor?"
"I've already asked, you can do it!"
Xu Nuo put down the ginseng in her hand and glanced at the cleaned turtle next to a small plastic cup, which looked reddish inside.
What is that?
Xu Nuo pointed to the small plastic cup.
"Turtle blood, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor specifically instructed me to bring it back for you to drink."
Wu Ma was so focused on her work that she didn't look up.
"Would you like to drink it now?"
Xu Nuo picked up the small plastic cup, opened the lid, and a fishy smell rushed into her nostrils.
"Yes, young master!"
Xu Nuo looked at the red liquid in her hand and felt a little nauseous, but thinking of the effects mentioned by traditional Chinese medicine, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and poured it all into her mouth.
What are you drinking?
Ye Linyan frowned as she stood at the junction of the kitchen and dining room, looking at the plastic cup in Xu Nuo's hand.
Xu Nuo was already feeling nauseous from the fishy smell, and Ye Linyan's sudden shout made him spit out the small mouthful he hadn't even swallowed yet.
"Arno".
Red liquid splattered all over the table and walls. Ye Linyan saw that he had drunk red liquid, but when he saw him vomiting it out like he was vomiting blood, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"No, it's nothing..."
Xu Nuo took out a tissue, wiped her face, and turned around to block Ye Linyan's steps as she walked in.
Aunt Wu handed over a glass of warm water, and Xu Nuo drank it all, which finally diluted the fishy taste in his mouth.
"Medicinal herbs! Prescribed by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor!"
Xu Nuo breathed with her mouth open; although the fishy smell had been diluted, it still lingered in her mouth.
"When did you become so proactive in seeking medical treatment?"
Ye Linyan also took out a tissue and wiped Xu Nuo's mouth. He then took out a piece of fruit candy from the tea box on the table, opened it, and fed it to Xu Nuo.
"Can't I just get better faster?!"
As Xu Nuo spoke, she walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa, just in time to see a notification on Ye Linyan's computer that there was a new email.
"Brother, you have a new email!"
Ye Linyan also sat back down in front of the computer and glanced at it.
Xu Nuo changed the subject, fearing that Ye Linyan would press him further about the medicinal herbs:
"Brother, did you have a lot of work today? It took you so long to finish."
"Well, I need to hand over all the work I have on hand, and there are still some things I need to handle personally. Only after I've taken care of all of that can I get away!"
As Ye Linyan spoke, he stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Xu Nuo:
"Arno, it'll be quick, don't worry, at most a week, I'll definitely be able to finish it. Once I've sorted this out, I'll take you on a trip!"
"I'm not in a hurry. Winter is coming, and I want to go somewhere warmer!"
Xu Nuo opened her phone and began searching for the island that Ye Linyan had mentioned to her at the hospital.
"Yes, winter is coming..."
