It took Liu Hui a long time to begin to accept the differences between her two children.
"So, you two aren't just attracted to each other, but you've developed some magical powers?" Then he became worried, "You two better be careful, don't get caught."
Cao An was stunned. Did they make eye contact? "Mom, what are you thinking? She's my sister!"
"Yes! He is my brother!" Xia Youyou pushed away Cao An who was getting too close. She was still young!
"You two are so affectionate that I thought you two were in love." She saw Eucalyptus combing her hair in the morning.
"Impossible!" they both said in unison. They looked at each other and quickly moved away.
"I just treat her as my sister!"
"I just treat him as my brother!"
The two of them spoke at the same time, making Liu Hui laugh. "It's okay even if you two can get together in the future. I don't mind anyway!" It's not impossible for a daughter to become a daughter-in-law.
Cao An was helpless, "Mom, we will only be brother and sister in this life." He treated her as a child completely. Besides, he was burdened with a heavy responsibility now and was full of passion to serve the country, but he had no thoughts of romantic feelings.
Xia Youyou nodded vigorously. She only thought of Cao An as a brother. There was no such thing as a relationship between a man and a woman. Although she had never been in a relationship, she had liked someone when she was in school. She had never had a crush on someone, but she had never had a crush on Cao An!
"Okay, okay, you guys just know what's going on. I've long suspected Youyou had some secret, but I didn't expect it to be this big!" She was quick to learn and wasn't frightened. "So why did you two choose to tell me now?"
"I was going to tell you a long time ago, but my brother wouldn't let me!" Xia Youyou complained first!
Cao An gave an awkward smile. "I'm just afraid you'll worry." He stiffly changed the subject. "Mom, come on, I'll put the massage chair in your room. You can massage it during the day when you have nothing to do. It'll be comfortable." He put the massage chair away and thought of the medicine Xia Youyou gave him last night. "This is the medicine Xia Youyou prescribed for you after scanning your body last night. Take it and you'll be better!"
Liu Hui took the pill and asked, "Does this medicine cure all diseases? Can it cure anything?"
"No, Mom, this is for symptomatic treatment. Don't take it randomly. You often feel tired and sad because your body functions are gradually aging. This medicine is for conditioning. Take it and you'll be fine!"
Liu Hui swallowed the medicine without hesitation. Xia Youyou quickly poured her a glass of water and said, "Please go slowly."
"Youyou is so nice, so you are from the future, and the real Liu Daya is dead?"
Xia Youyou nodded. When she came here, Liu Daya's body functions had disappeared, and they recovered only after she came here.
Cao An put the massage chair away and came out. "Mom, if you have nothing to do, let Youyou give you a massage. I'm going to the bureau to do something."
The mother and daughter were chatting and had no time to pay attention to him. Cao An scratched his head and walked out the door. How did he become an outsider? Wasn't he his biological child?
"Youyou, tell mom what the future will be like."
Xia Youyou pulled her into the room and said, "Come on, let's talk while we get a massage. You don't have to cook lunch. I'll make you some future food to try."
The mother and daughter chatted happily, completely ignoring the lunch of Cao An, who was about to do something big. When he returned from his work, the kitchen was cold. He thought the two had gone out and was about to go to the kitchen to light the fire to cook when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the room. He looked up at the sky helplessly, turned around, walked to his mother's door, and knocked.
"Mom, where's lunch?"
Liu Hui was stunned. "Make it yourself, we've already eaten!" They were eating self-heating hot pot, which tasted great! It was just a little spicy.
"What did you eat? I'm still hungry!" He felt so wronged. How come he couldn't even eat after his mother was kidnapped?
Xia Youyou opened the door for him and took out a bunch of instant food. "Choose what you want to eat."
Looking at the dazzling array of food filling the table, Cao An picked up each one and examined it. Hot pot, spicy hot pot, rice. Only children would make choices; he wanted them all. With a wave of his hand, he stored everything in his space and walked out.
"Mom, look at him!" Xia Youyou glared at the door accusingly.
"We won't give it to him after he finishes eating!"
Cao An curled his lips. What happened? Did he become a found child?
"Mom," Xia Youyou took her mother's hand, "I have another space here. Can I help you install it?"
Liu Hui patted her little hands and said, "Mom doesn't want it, keep it for yourself. Maybe I can give it to your significant other in the future."
"I'm still young! It's too early to find a partner!" She has no idea at all now.
"You're still young, so you can find a partner later. It's okay if you don't give her a partner. Maybe she'll come in handy in the future. Keep it for yourself. Mom won't need it."
"Okay. Then mom, just tell me what you want. I have everything here, including food and drinks. I also gave it to my brother!"
"How could this brat want my sister's things? Did he ask you for it?" When Liu Hui thought of this, she might want to get up and beat him up.
Xia Youyou quickly held her back, feeling a little guilty. "Mom, he didn't ask me for it. I tested him and then forced it on him."
After hearing the whole story, Liu Hui felt relieved. "As long as he's aware of this, that's good. As long as he didn't actively seek you out, then I haven't raised him in vain."
"Why did you raise me in vain?" Cao An brought in his lunch. He couldn't control himself when he smelled the fragrance. It was not enough to make spicy hot pot, so he also made a bowl of self-heating rice.
"Can you finish your meal?"
"Of course!" Cao An sat down at his desk and started slurping his food. "It smells so good! Youyou, prepare some more for me. Why didn't you give me this when you gave me food this morning?"
"How did I know you'd like this?" She was tired of it! "Give me your hand, I'll give it to you."
Cao An stretched out his long hands like a chimpanzee asking for food.
"So what are your plans for going to the bureau today?" Xia Youyou covered his with her small hand and passed the self-heating pot in the space to him.
"I've contacted the town and written a plan. I'm asking them to allocate me a plot of experimental land next spring. I'll be in charge of planting it and see if I can grow the rice you gave me."
He took a sip of the enoki mushrooms and shrank his neck because of the heat. "Huh, we'll go together then!"
Xia Youyou said stubbornly, "I don't want to farm!" Farming requires sun exposure, so she doesn't want to do that at all, right?
"Can I let you plant it yourself? You are my consultant, and you are responsible for helping me guide me with future knowledge."
“But I’ve never farmed in the future!”
Cao An almost choked. "It's enough for you to have ideas for the future. You may not have eaten pork, but you've seen pigs run, right?"
“I haven’t seen it.”
Cao An really couldn't do anything to her. "Then what do you want to do?"
Speaking of this, Xia Youyou had something to say, "I want to eat and sleep, sleep and eat!"
Liu Hui patted her head amusedly, "Stop teasing your brother. Look, he's so angry he can't even eat!"
Xia Youyou then stopped being serious and started laughing.
