The cake was first given to Old Madam Yun, then to Yun Hongcheng and Madam Zhao, and finally to the three children.
Just like that, the whole big cake was divided up.
"Wow, this is so delicious! I've never had such delicious pastries before!"
"This white stuff smells so sweet!"
"The pastries inside are also soft and fluffy, and the combination of the two is absolutely delicious."
"..."
The first time they tasted the cake, everyone was instantly captivated by its unique flavor.
Fortunately, Ji Minxiu was worried that there wouldn't be enough to eat, so he brought two pieces over, which allowed everyone to have their fill.
However, since there were other delicious foods, half of the cake was left after we finished eating.
“If we don’t finish these, they won’t taste good tomorrow. Why don’t we send them to the constables?” Ji Minxiu suggested.
“Yes, we can send some over to Mr. Lan,” Yun Hongcheng said.
"Mr. Lan?" Ji Minxiu asked in confusion.
"Ah, that's the man who was seriously injured and rescued before. He has woken up and is sleeping on the large communal bed right now," Yun Zhourong said.
Although they kindly saved Lan Jianhe, he was, after all, an outsider, and living together would be inconvenient. The fact that they paid for him to stay in a dormitory was already a great effort.
"Okay, I should probably head back too. Let's deliver the things together first." Ji Minxiu said and stood up.
"Okay, I'll go change his dressing right away."
Yun Zhourong was reluctant to part with Ji Minxiu at this moment, so she grabbed the cake and quickly followed.
Watching the two figures leave, Yun Hongcheng couldn't help but say, "Mother, wife, don't you think that the Snow Demon is being a little too nice to Ruan Ruan?"
Yes, there is.
Madam Yun and Madam Zhao both nodded in unison, then said with pride, "As expected of our Ruanruan, she's just so lovable."
Yun Hongcheng: "..."
No, that's not what he meant by "good"!
But looking into their clear eyes, he sighed and said nothing more.
Perhaps he's overthinking it.
The two first delivered the cake to the constable, then went to the communal sleeping area.
"Alright, you can take it in now. I'm going back," Ji Minxiu said.
Yun Zhourong was a little reluctant to part, but she didn't dare to ask him to stay. She just nodded and said, "Okay, thank you. I'm very happy today."
"Um, uh..."
Ji Minxiu smiled and reached out to pat Yun Zhourong's head, but the next second, he suddenly clutched his stomach and frowned.
"Lord Snow Demon, what's wrong?" Upon seeing this, Yun Zhourong immediately helped him up with concern.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a stomachache..."
Ji Minxiu waved his hand, but a trace of panic rose in his heart.
This feeling is so familiar…
It's like the pain of having a stomach bezoar!
But how could that be?
It has only been about a month since the last treatment.
He's probably overthinking it. He should be able to relax after a follow-up check-up in a few days.
"Miss Yun, what brings you here?"
Just then, Lan Jianhe came out from inside.
After half a month of recuperation, his injuries have improved a lot, and after getting ready, he looks like a dignified middle-aged man.
"Hello Mr. Lan, it's like this, today is my birthday, so I brought you some pastries."
As Yun Zhourong spoke, she handed the bowl in her hand to Lan Jianhe, and then said, "My friend is not feeling well, so we will leave first."
"Wait."
Unexpectedly, Lan Jianhe stopped the two of them and then frowned as he stared at Ji Minxiu.
"Mr. Lan, is there a problem?" Upon seeing this, Yun Zhourong subconsciously moved slightly to face Ji Minxiu.
"Are you experiencing stomach discomfort, loss of appetite, and unusual weight loss?" Lan Jianhe asked slowly.
Upon hearing this, Ji Minxiu was about to shake his head, but then, as if remembering something, he said in a deep voice, "That's right. How did you know?"
"How long have you had these symptoms?" Lan Jianhe continued to ask.
“It’s been more than three years,” Ji Minxiu said after thinking for a moment.
At first, his stomach stones didn't flare up frequently. He could just take some medication to dissolve the stones and he didn't have any more flare-ups for almost a year.
However, the duration of the attacks began to shorten later on.
It started as six months, then it became three months.
Now, if this pain is still caused by stomach stones, then it will recur within a month.
That speed is terrifying!
"More than three years? How is that possible?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Jianhe's face showed astonishment. "Impossible! If it has been more than three years, you cannot be alive, and you look so healthy."
Upon hearing this, both Yun Zhourong and Ji Minxiu's expressions changed.
Yun Zhourong asked anxiously, "Mr. Lan, why do you say that? Xue... is something wrong with my friend?"
Ji Minxiu also frowned and stared at Lan Jianhe, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Actually, he had always been puzzled about this stomach stone.
The doctor said that only people with an improper diet are prone to this disease.
However, he almost never touches those foods, so it's really puzzling that he would get this stomach bezoar.
"No rush, I need to confirm this first."
As Lan Jianhe spoke, he took out a soybean and handed it to Ji Minxiu, "Put it in your mouth and chew it, tell me what it tastes like, Miss Yun, you can try it too."
"Okay, sure."
Although they were both puzzled, they did as instructed.
"Ugh, it smells so fishy!"
Yun Zhourong had only chewed a couple of times when he couldn't stand it anymore and frowned.
