Song Lan carried the steamed egg custard into Qin Yanzheng's room.
"Less exercise leads to less calorie expenditure."
The implication was that he did not feel hungry yet.
"That makes sense, but you have to eat something at mealtimes, otherwise your stomach won't be able to handle it."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Song Lan said, "Steamed egg custard is quite tender. I added a few drops of sesame oil, so it should taste very good." She brought the spoon to the man's lips and said, "Come on, open your mouth."
Having been fed chicken soup noodles at noon before, Qin Yanzheng should have been somewhat used to it by now. However, he was still very uncomfortable, his ears were still red, and a thin layer of blush was on his handsome face.
Song Lan saw this, but she didn't tease him like she did at noon. However, she kept a faint smile on her lips as she fed Qin Yanzheng the steamed egg custard.
"Have some water."
She got up and put the bowl on the table. Song Lan added some hot water to Qin Yanzheng's water glass and then handed it to him, saying, "Here you go."
"Thanks!"
Qin Yanzheng thanked him.
Song Lan: "You're welcome."
Seeing that Qin Yanzheng had only taken two sips and stopped, Song Lan asked, "Why don't you drink more?"
"Wu Dong made me some malted milk powder in the afternoon."
Hearing Qin Yanzheng say this, Song Lan quickly understood what he meant. He was telling her that he had drunk quite a bit in the afternoon and didn't need to drink much more now.
"Then I'll put the water glass down."
Taking the enamel cup from the man's hand, Song Lan put it back in its original place.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Qin Yanzheng asked.
"No rush." As Song Lan was saying this, the voice of the adorable little Wu came from outside the door: "Sister-in-law, Xiao Wu is hungry!" This was telling Song Lan that everyone was waiting, and as for what they were waiting for, it was undoubtedly dinner.
"Go."
Before Song Lan could respond, Qin Yanzheng's voice rang out again.
Song Lan knew this was being said to her.
"I'll go eat first, and I'll bring you the medicine later." She hadn't forgotten that she needed to prepare a decoction for the man and give acupuncture to her youngest sister-in-law tonight.
Of course, the little girl also needs to drink herbal medicine, but it's a different kind.
"good."
Qin Yanzheng responded softly.
To be honest, he didn't have much of an impression of Song Lan or his other half, and he couldn't even remember what she looked like. It wasn't that he wasn't sad, but their marriage was truly a helpless act for him.
Saving someone ended up jeopardizing his own marriage. Qin Yanzheng didn't really feel anything about it, but he had important matters to attend to at the time, so he didn't pay much attention to the girl he had saved. Later, when the two went to get their marriage certificate, she kept her head down the whole time.
As a gay man, he can't expect someone to look up in order to see their face clearly.
Furthermore, on their wedding day, his wife, whom he had just married, still kept her head down, while he was called away by a phone call before the wedding was over. Due to regulations, he did not contact his family until he was seriously injured and lost consciousness.
Qin Yanzheng knew he owed his family, especially his wife.
He married her but failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband, and now he's even placing the burden of the family on her shoulders... With these thoughts swirling around him, Qin Yanzheng stopped thinking about it. He only hoped that he could recover completely as Song Lan had said, so that... she wouldn't have to continue suffering like this!
After dinner, Qin Yaxin conscientiously cleaned up the dishes, while Song Lan arranged for Qin Boyan to prepare the medicine. She then took the adorable little boy, Xiao Liu, back to her own room.
"Sister-in-law, can't I come along?"
The adorable little Wu stood next to Wu Dong, looking at Song Lan's back with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
Upon hearing this, Song Lan stopped and turned to the little guy, saying, "Sister-in-law is going to give Xiao Liu acupuncture. It's not appropriate for you to be there. Be good and go play with your older brother with Comrade Wu."
As the sound faded, Song Lan withdrew her gaze from Tuanzi Xiao Wu.
"I'll be very good and won't disturb my sister-in-law while she's treating my sister."
The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, pouted, blinking his big, watery eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.
Seeing this, Wu Dong found it amusing. He ruffled the child's hair and said, "Let's go."
Where to?
The adorable little Wu didn't react for a moment.
"Your older brother is waiting for you."
Wu Dong said with a smile.
"I understand." The adorable little boy paused for a moment, then wiped his wet eyes with his little hands and nodded heavily to Wu Dong: "Let's go find Big Brother. I want to tell Big Brother about what happened at kindergarten."
May I listen?
Wu Dong lowered his eyes and asked with a smile. Clearly, he was teasing the adorable little boy, Xiao Wu.
"certainly."
The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, responded without hesitation.
...
"Sister-in-law."
Just as she had administered acupuncture to put the little girl to sleep, there was a sudden knock on the door. Upon hearing Qin Boyan's voice, Song Lan took out two packets of Chinese medicine and a slightly worn but clean medicine pot from her space, "Divine Doctor Valley," without much hesitation.
She opened the door and handed the medicine packet and pot to Qin Boyan, instructing him, "The larger medicine packet is for your eldest brother, and the smaller one is for Xiao Liu's medicine. By the way, the pot is very clean; just rinse it with water before using it. Also, remember to properly store the dregs after you've finished decocting your brother's medicine; we'll need it again tomorrow morning..."
After Song Lan finished speaking, Qin Boyan said, "Okay."
"Are you sure you remember it?"
Song Lan confirmed.
"Um."
Qin Boyan nodded.
"You absolutely cannot mix up the amounts of water you use to decoct the medicine for your elder brother and the amount you use to decoct the medicine for Xiao Liu, otherwise the medicine will be much less effective."
Song Lan emphasized.
“If you’re worried, sister-in-law, I’ll repeat it to you now…” Qin Boyan’s memory was quite good. Sure enough, he recited almost everything he heard from Song Lan, which surprised Song Lan. Her peach blossom eyes lit up with a smile: “Your memory is excellent!”
Qin Boyan was a little embarrassed by the praise: "It's alright."
There's no need to be modest.
Song Lan smiled and said, "However, you must use your excellent memory for your studies, since you promised to teach me the knowledge in the high school textbooks."
"..."
Qin Boyan paused for a moment, then looked serious. He nodded and said, "Whenever you have time, just call me and I'll explain what I learned at school to you."
"I'll remember that." Song Lan smiled broadly. "Go ahead and get busy. I need to start giving Xiao Liu acupuncture."
Upon hearing this, Qin Boyan did not linger any longer. He took the medicine pot and two medicine packets, one large and one small, and turned to leave.
The acupuncture treatment for the little girl took two and a half hours, which was a bit longer than the acupuncture treatment for Qin Yanzheng that night.
reason?
The little girl is still very young, so there are more things to pay attention to when performing acupuncture. In addition, the little girl's lesion is more sensitive than Qin Yanzheng's, so there is no room for carelessness.
"Is your sister-in-law still giving Xiao Liu acupuncture?"
Half an hour after Qin Yanzheng finished drinking the herbal medicine, he heard Qin Boyan's footsteps enter his room again and couldn't help but ask a question.
The door remained closed.
