Yan Yi looked indifferent after hearing this, not surprised at all.

Ning Yuan finally reacted, "So you already knew it, why didn't you tell me?"

Yan Yi glanced at him and said, "This is common sense."

“…”

So he is the only one who doesn't know this common sense? Oh, Sun Feifei and Zhao Fang don't know either.

Ning Yuan felt relieved.

——

On the other hand, Pei Ziheng also honestly told Shen Mingzhu about his secret evil deeds.

Shen Mingzhu was neither surprised nor relieved. As a gourmet with superb cooking skills, she sensed something was wrong the moment Zhao Fang fried the first fish to a crisp.

But she originally thought that this was caused by Sun Feifei or Zhao Fang who accidentally mixed sugar into starch.

Unexpectedly, it was her older son who did it secretly to vent her anger.

Although Shen Mingzhu did not criticize, she did not encourage Pei Ziheng to do such things again.

After all, her goal is to train Pei Ziheng into a good young man with upright values, and he must not let his character fall apart.

Pei Ziheng agreed obediently, and then told Shen Mingzhu that Ning Yuan had given a permanent 50% discount on meals.

Shen Mingzhu didn't say anything, but she made up her mind never to eat at Bernard's Restaurant again.

Ning Yuan has a close relationship with Yan Yi, and she is also sensitive enough to notice that Yan Yi seems to have some special feelings towards her.

She firmly believed that there was no good thing in this world without reason, especially between opposite sexes, but she was too lazy to explore Yan Yi's intentions and just wanted to keep a distance from him.

This was another reason why she quit the study group.

After walking around the farm and seeing that it was getting late, Shen Mingzhu prepared to take Pei Ziheng home.

There was a minibus back to the city at the foot of the mountain. Shen Mingzhu asked the workers at the farm to help convey a message to Yan Yi, and then took Pei Ziheng down the mountain.

Not long after walking, Shen Mingzhu discovered that Pei Ziheng's walking posture was a little strange, with his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was enduring something.

"Son, does your leg hurt?"

Pei Ziheng hesitated for a moment and nodded gently, "It hurts a little bit."

"Did you rub your leg while riding a horse?"

"Um."

After getting a positive answer, Shen Mingzhu immediately felt very guilty.

Before she traveled through the book, she had ridden a horse on the grassland. Afterwards, the muscles on both sides of her thighs were severely rubbed, and it took her nearly half a month to recover.

This is also the reason why she didn't go horseback riding today, for fear of hurting her thigh.

She thought that Pei Ziheng was small, had Ning Yuan to protect him, and had not been riding for long and was riding slowly, so he should not be injured. However, she forgot that Pei Ziheng's skin was delicate and his ability to withstand damage was more fragile than that of an adult.

Shen Mingzhu felt extremely regretful when she thought about how she had taken Pei Ziheng to wander around the farm for a long time.

"I'm sorry, son. I was careless. Come, I'll carry you down the mountain."

"Um."

Looking at her open arms, Pei Ziheng rushed over happily.

The moment she picked up Pei Ziheng, Shen Mingzhu knew she had been careless.

The last time I hugged Pei Ziheng was when I got married to Pei Yang last year. At that time, Pei Ziheng was thin and small, weighing no more than 30 kilograms.

More than half a year has passed, and with her careful care, Pei Ziheng's weight has increased by at least one third compared to that time.

Fortunately, they were going down the mountain. If they were going up the mountain, Shen Mingzhu's legs would probably be trembling.

After walking about fifty or sixty meters, I heard a car horn behind me.

Shen Mingzhu looked back and found two cars approaching.

In front was a yellow hatchback sports car, followed by an olive green jeep behind.

The sports car stopped next to Shen Mingzhu first. Ning Yuan greeted her while sitting in the driver's seat. And sitting in the passenger seat was Sun Feifei.

It was Zhao Fang who was obviously interested in Ning Yuan, but in the end, Zhao Fang didn't get in Ning Yuan's car, but Sun Feifei did.

You taste it, you taste it carefully.

Soon, the jeep stopped in front of Shen Mingzhu again.

Yan Yi got out of the car and walked in front of her and Pei Ziheng. He looked at Pei Ziheng's face with concern for a moment, and said to Shen Mingzhu in a gentle tone: "I'll take you down the mountain."

Shen Mingzhu did not refuse, she really couldn't hold Pei Ziheng anymore.

Yan Yi helped her open the back door of the car. As soon as she got in, she saw that there was an acquaintance there.

Shen Mingzhu looked at Zhao Fang's gloomy face and deliberately teased: "Why did Sun Feifei leave you alone?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Fangfang's face turned dark.

"I want you to mind your own business."

Shen Mingzhu ran away after flirting, turned around and whispered to Pei Ziheng on the other side.

"Does your leg still hurt?"

Pei Ziheng shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Shen Mingzhu rubbed his head and said gently, "I'll help you apply the ointment when we get back, and it won't hurt anymore."

Pei Ziheng pursed his lips, feeling torn between his conscience and his desires.

He has to take off his pants to apply the ointment, but he is still little, so it’s okay for him to only wear underwear in front of his mother, right?

Shen Mingzhu didn't know what her son was thinking about. She just saw him with his head down and thought he was tired, so she took him into her arms and let him lean on her arms to rest for a while.

Pei Ziheng is young and used to taking a nap every day, but he didn't get to sleep today. In addition, he had done horse riding, which was a very strenuous exercise, so he couldn't help feeling drowsy while leaning in Shen Mingzhu's arms.

He tried hard not to fall asleep, and thought about going to the minibus station at the foot of the mountain, where he and his mother got off and took the minibus home.

But his mother's embrace was so fragrant, soft and comfortable that he couldn't help but fall asleep.

The jeep passed the minibus station. Shen Mingzhu looked down at Pei Ziheng who was sleeping soundly. She said nothing, but subconsciously adjusted the posture for him to be more comfortable so that he could sleep better.

Yan Yi glanced at the mother and son through the rearview mirror, then calmly slowed down the car.

——

"Thanks."

When they arrived at the gate of the family compound, Shen Mingzhu thanked Yan Yi, then picked up Pei Ziheng and prepared to get out of the car.

Yan Yi helped her open the car door and asked her if she needed help. After being rejected by Shen Mingzhu, he said nothing more.

After watching the mother and son enter the family compound, Yan Yi looked up at the red-painted sign above the gate of the family compound before getting in the car and driving away.

After returning home, Shen Mingzhu carried her still sleeping son into the room, then went to the living room and took out the medicine box.

When she returned to the room with the erythromycin ointment, she found that Pei Ziheng had woken up and was sitting on the bed in a daze with a cute tuft of hair on his head. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Mother."

Seeing her, Pei Ziheng called out softly.

Shen Mingzhu sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Take off your pants."

After saying this, I saw my son's little face turned as red as a ripe tomato.

Shen Mingzhu was amused by her son's shy reaction. She could have let him apply the ointment himself, but she was worried that his injuries were too serious and wanted to see it with her own eyes to feel at ease.

She rubbed her son's head and said, "It's okay, don't be shy, I'm your mother, not an outsider."

With Shen Mingzhu's comfort, Pei Ziheng slowly took off his trousers, revealing his two thin, white legs in front of Shen Mingzhu.

Shen Mingzhu observed and found that the abrasion was not very serious, not even the skin was broken. It was just because Pei Ziheng's skin was too delicate that it looked a little creepy.

Shen Mingzhu lowered her head, dipped her fingertips in the ointment and gently applied it to both sides of her son's thighs, blowing gently as she applied it to relieve the pain of applying the ointment.

Pei Ziheng's shyness gradually disappeared in her gentle and loving eyes.

"alright."

Shen Mingzhu straightened up and was about to cover the medicine tube, but a soft little body suddenly bumped into her arms.

"Mother."

Pei Ziheng leaned his furry little head on her shoulder and whispered in her ear in a childish voice: "When you are old and sick in the future, I will take good care of you."

These two short but heartwarming sentences almost moved Shen Mingzhu to tears.
