Chapter 336 Twenty-three Sweethearts

When Akae You went upstairs with the meal tray, the child was lying obediently in his quilt with his eyes closed, as if the mysterious figure who passed by the staircase a few minutes ago was not him. The room was quiet.

Without changing her expression, she placed the plate in her hand steadily on the bedside table, then reached in to feel the temperature of the quilt.

"It's a little lower than before. Remember to come back early next time to warm it up so I won't notice it...if your cold sweat isn't blown away." The human thermometer said faintly, with a mother's warm smile on her face. "Baby, do you have anything else to say to justify yourself? I allow you to redress your grievances."

The little boy with his eyes tightly closed in the quilt shuddered reflexively. He did not open his eyes, but quietly moved towards the direction of the extra hand in the quilt, then quietly hugged the somewhat cold hand, and rubbed his hot face against it lingeringly.

"Being coquettish won't reduce your sentence." The top of the family's food chain snorted, "I'm going to punish you by making you drink up all the porridge I made."

Chijiang Nayue quietly opened one eye, blinked, looked at her pitifully, and bargained in a low voice: "You can give it to Qingwu."

"Hmm? Don't worry about him, he already has a whole pot of porridge." Chijiangyou said kindly, "After all, I need someone to taste it."

It turns out he wasn't the first victim.

Chi Jiang Na Yue crossed herself to her father in her heart and laughed at him for five seconds without any sympathy.

Huh, you never thought of that! He had been trained in cooking for many more years than anyone else at that time! Even though he had written down [Rule 1: Ms. Akae Yuu is not allowed to enter the kitchen] in the kitchen rules, it was completely unable to stop this lively and lovely mother from expressing her deep love through cooking.

Of course he could restore the scene to exactly the same state as it was before he left within half a minute. If he really wanted to do that, he would definitely not leave such a simple flaw.

But Akae Yu is his mother, not the enemy he wants to deal with, and Akae Nayue has developed a habit since childhood: she never needs to pretend when she is at home.

This kind of "battle of wits and courage" is basically the norm in their family - they don't lie to each other, but they won't tell the truth either. Whether they can find out depends entirely on themselves.

"I'm sorry, Mom." The little boy in the quilt coughed twice and said obediently, "I should have been obedient and lay down to rest."

"It's not your fault, baby. I was gone too long." Seeing him take the initiative to admit his mistake, Akae Yu also pointed out her own mistakes very directly. She bent down and leaned forward with her flawless beautiful face close to her poor little son who was running a fever. Her tone softened, "But remember to wear slippers next time. You already have a fever and can't continue to cool down. OK?"

To be honest, he didn't dare to say no under her gaze.

Akae Nayue has always been well aware of the ways of survival in this family. After nodding, he tried to raise his head and move closer to Akae You's profile, giving her a soft kiss on the face.

——The person being scolded should kiss the one who scolded him afterwards.

“Is this matter over?”

"It's over." Chijiang You said in a good mood, and then stretched out a finger and shook it, "But you still have to drink the porridge. I made this health-preserving porridge according to the recipe under Qing's supervision. It clears away heat and reduces annealing. The temperature is about right now, so you can drink it."

Chijiang Nayue was silent for a moment.

"Last Tuesday, before Dr. Sato went on leave, he specially updated all the medicine cabinets at home." He was calm and didn't even need to ask, "Have you found the fever patch and antipyretic yet?" "The most complete one is on the fourth layer of the third cabinet next to your bedroom wall. The others are on the shelf on the right side of the storage room, the most conspicuous one."

Akae Nazuki continued: "The cooling patches are all placed in the compartment of the small refrigerator where drinks are stored. The temperature there is just right... Hmm? Yu-chan?"

Akae Yuu covered his face: "No, it's nothing, our Aka is really reliable."

The black-haired little boy on the bed had an expression of 'I'm used to it' on his face. He considerately didn't look at his mother's sad expression after being completely defeated by the reliable child, and made an evaluation in his heart: Sure enough, this family will still fall apart without him.

But even with a medicine box, he still had to drink the porridge that Akae You brought him... Akae Nayue knew that if he had not traveled through time again, this bowl of porridge could not have been cooked by Akae You as she said. After all, it takes time to cook porridge. But after taking a spoonful of it into his mouth, the familiar light burnt smell mixed with spinach immediately made him recognize that this was indeed the craftsmanship of his own kitchen killer.

Akae Yu's eyes wandered: "In fact, it was cooked this morning."

The patient on the bed looked at him disapprovingly.

Generally speaking, porridge is considered a sick meal in Japan, and few people cook and eat it on a daily basis, so...

"You weren't supposed to cook porridge, were you?" Chi Jiang Na Yue had seen through everything. "Spinach fried rice?" The blond woman kneeling beside the bed was no longer strong and was about to bury her head in her son's quilt to escape reality: "... Yeah."

Chijiang Nayue sighed again: "Didn't I say yesterday that Mom can't go into the kitchen this month? Isn't it too late to replace our microwave oven with a new one?"

Sure enough, he had to say it again, this family would fall apart without him.

—

"Tsk tsk, why wasn't I there at that time?" Matsuda Jinpei shook his head and said with regret, "I haven't seen such a well-behaved and sensible Aka in so many years? Hagi, do you still remember?"

Hagiwara Kenji was very cooperative and shook his head embarrassedly: "It was probably when I first entered school? At that time, Xiao Nayue would politely say sorry before hitting someone."

"Really?" Idahang pondered, "Doesn't he always say 'You almost warmed me up' after the fight?"

"You forgot, class leader, there was also 'Your ability to take action doesn't support you always talking'. The person who was said that later practiced hard for a long time." Furuya Rei recalled, "Then he came to Aka again before graduation, and was easily defeated by Aka, and then changed to 'Excuse me, who are you'."

He concluded: "You will definitely become his nightmare for many years to come in his police career, former Chijiang Police Chief."

The little boy lying on the bed had a gloomy expression on his face, as if he was going to jump up and assassinate all of them in the next second.

Only Morofushi Jingguang said something fair: "In fact, Na Yue has always been very well-behaved and polite in front of the elders."

Then he added slowly: "Not everyone has the ability to calm down the day after Kuroda got so angry that he yelled 'little bastard'."

Kuroda Hei, an old acquaintance of Akae's parents and a direct superior of Furuya Rei, once worked as a liaison for the Public Security Bureau and partnered with Akae Nazuki for a long time.

At the same time, he is also a member of the Akae family's team of 'elders who dote on their children'.

Chi Jiang Na Yue groaned: "I just respect my elders more."

"Are you referring to the fact that most of the top brass in the Metropolitan Police Department want you to be their son or son-in-law?" Jinpei Matsuda gloated over the misfortune.

"I never heard you say anything about respecting elders when facing older prisoners and 'those higher-ups' of the same generation," Ida Kou complained.

That is certainly different.

Chi Jiang Na Yue was justified in his heart: Those people were not worthy of being his elders, they were just a little older, so when he was catching criminals, should he still respect the elderly and love the young? But he knew that this excuse could not shut up his friends, so the smart and witty Chi Jiang chose to change the subject.

He pretended to be nonchalant and mentioned: "Who was responsible for buying the spicy curry at the farewell party? Remember to tell him that I want it from the old restaurant where we often eat."

"Hmm? Of course you can, but the store probably isn't open yet... Wait!"

Furutani Rei, who had readily accepted the call, suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.

"Oh, 'yes, it's okay'." This time it was Chijiang Nayue's turn to show a tacitly evil smile, "It seems that you all planned it very well last night."

The five guardian sweethearts all broke out in a cold sweat.

Yes, a farewell party. Chi Jiang Na Yue realized yesterday that this group of gorilla friends who could go anywhere and any place together would definitely not go there just to chat with the children, so it was easy to guess their purpose.

"At least show some surprise when the time comes?" Hagiwara Kenji whispered in his ear, "Since the children are looking forward to it, please~"

"It's too late." The heartless little devil sneered, "Who told me to be 'well behaved' only in front of my elders?"

"Aka, don't you have a fever? You should have a good rest." Furuya Rei tried to change the subject.

"That's right, patient Xiao Nayue, please stop talking and go to sleep for a while." Hagiwara Kenji touched his nose and agreed guiltily.

In fact, they all felt a little guilty. If they had not left last night, they might have discovered that their friend had a fever earlier.

But there is no point in blaming yourself now, after all, it has already happened.

The patient himself did not continue to argue. He snorted and childishly tucked himself into the quilt. He closed his eyes and his breathing instantly became long and deep, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

This was not a temper tantrum with friends, and the others quickly reacted because of the sound of approaching footsteps outside the door.

Then, the sound of low conversation was heard.

"After a few days, Xiaohong's fever will subside. Let's go skiing, shall we?" Akae Kiyoshi said confidently, "I heard that after a fever subsides, there is an immunity period, and the fever will not recur in a short period of time."

"Don't read those messy magazines, Qing." This is Akae Yu's complaint, "But if you go skiing, your son won't get a fever, because he will use his skis to shovel all the snow on the ground and sweep the inside of your collar. Qing, you haven't been to the training room for two months. Now you definitely won't be able to last more than ten moves in your son's hands."

"Xiaoyou, please at least spare me this one time in front of your son?" Akae Seigo was very resentful. He argued, "Besides, I'm a technician! A weak intelligence officer! I'm already good enough to fight."

"Hmm?" Akae Yu said gently, "I didn't hurt you. I was just telling you the truth. Xiao Hong's taijutsu is very powerful. You really can't beat him."

The guardian sweethearts in the room fell silent again.

She is worthy of being the woman who brought up aka/Nan Yue and whom he respects so much!
