Chapter 2 Care
Yu Yao followed the instructions and roughly took out several pills. He then placed warm water on the bedside table next to Yu Zhi and shook her twice: "Take the medicine."
Yu Zhi sat up obediently, but did not take the medicine as Yu Yao told her to.
She stared blankly at Yu Yao who was standing in front of her, as if she couldn't tell whether what she saw was a dream or reality.
Yu Yao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes. Yu Zhi also looked back and forth foolishly, which looked quite funny.
Yu Yao inexplicably became more patient: "Open your mouth, ah——"
He coaxed her like a child, and Yu Zhi opened her mouth obediently.
Yu Yao took advantage of the situation and stuffed all the pills into her mouth, then picked up some warm water and brought it to her mouth.
Yu Zhi lowered her head and drank the water obediently.
Her eyelids drooped, and her eyelashes were thick and long, casting a shadow on her lower eyelids, making her look quiet and lovely.
At this moment, she looked exactly like the sister Yu Yao had imagined.
He finally helped this ancestor take the medicine. He breathed a sigh of relief.
But Butler Zhang also took out an external ointment, saying that the rash would disappear faster after using it.
"Yu Zhi" has always loved beauty. Although her aesthetic taste is difficult for Yu Yao to understand, a girl certainly cannot accept a rash on her face.
Just like sending a Buddha to the west, Yu Yao diligently picked up the ointment and squeezed it onto the cotton swab.
The rash was very conspicuous and scary on Yu Zhi's smooth and fair skin. The rash was not big, but it was densely packed.
It was the first time that Yu Yao applied medicine to someone. As soon as he applied it, Yu Zhi took a deep breath.
"Does it... hurt?" Yu Yao was a little embarrassed. He seemed to have used a little force.
Yu Zhi didn't lose her temper like usual, but shook her head: "It doesn't hurt, just... a little cold."
Cold? How can ointment be cold?
Yu Yao put the back of his hand on her forehead and found that she had a fever.
"It's not cold," Yu Yao explained patiently, "You have an allergic reaction and a fever. Do you know what you're allergic to?"
"Oh." Yu Zhi pursed her lips uncomfortably, "I'm allergic to alcohol."
Yu Yao originally thought that she was allergic to the food and accidentally ate it, but he didn't expect her to say that she was allergic to alcohol.
"You know you're allergic, but you still drink it?!" Yu Yao said in a bad tone, and angrily squeezed out a large amount of ointment and smeared it on her face.
"But you'll be angry if I don't drink..." Yu Zhi said aggrievedly, "So I only drank a little bit, I thought it would be fine."
Yu Yao remembered that she was reminded by Yu Yi because she didn't finish drinking.
"If you have an allergic reaction, just tell us directly. Why would we be angry about this?" Yu Yao found it difficult to understand her train of thought.
"But, I told my sister before..." Yu Zhi gently pulled Yu Yao's clothes, "Brother, don't be angry with me..."
Yu Yao was stunned for a moment. Had she told Xiaoyu about this? Then why did Xiaoyu ask her to finish it?
Before he could figure it out, I subconsciously comforted him, "I'm not angry with you."
"Then... brother, please don't be angry with me from now on." The girl raised her face, curved her bright eyes, and revealed a sweet and innocent smile, "Okay?"
No matter how angry Yu Yao was, it was completely gone at this moment.
He nodded at the dimples on Yu Zhi's face and replied without any temper, "Okay."
As long as you are as good as you are now.
He added in his mind.
After receiving his promise, Yu Zhi felt relieved and crawled into bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Yu Yao had a complicated expression on his face and stood by her bed for a long time before leaving.

"Dad, have you found out?" When Yu Yao went downstairs, only Yu Ji, Li Shurong and Yu Yi were sitting in the living room.
The atmosphere was not as angry and heavy as he had imagined.
Yu Yi sat beside Li Shurong, her pretty face full of guilt: "Ayao, it's my fault..."
Yu Yao interrupted her before she finished listening, and said in a somewhat accusing tone: "Xiao Li, since you knew that Yu Zhi was allergic to alcohol, why did you let her drink?"
"Ah?" Yu Yu was stunned. How could she know that Yu Zhi was allergic to alcohol?
Li Shurong patted her hand soothingly and defended her daughter, "Ayao, we didn't know Yu Zhi was allergic to alcohol. How can you blame Xiao Li?"
Yu Yao frowned. He didn't think Yu Zhi was lying.
Yu Zhi was already suffering from an allergic reaction and fever, and she had also taken aletraline. The true emotions in her heart were magnified exponentially, and she was not conscious.
How could she lie in that situation?
Yu Yao thought his mother was just trying to save face for Yu Yu. He pursed his lips in disapproval, but ultimately didn't pursue the matter any further.
After all, Xiao Li grew up with him. Even though they are not related by blood, she is no different from his biological sister.
Besides, maybe Xiaoyi just forgot for a moment.
"What about the medicine?" Yu Yao changed the question.
Yu Ji coughed lightly and took a sip of tea: "It was done by a servant. I have already fired her."
Yu Yao's face was filled with questions: "Servant? Why would a servant do this? And shouldn't the Investigation Department be called in...?"
Yu Ji knew that he was somewhat in the wrong, but even his son could not question his authority as the head of the family.
"Alright! How dare you bring this matter to the Investigation Department?!" Yu Ji said without allowing any room for argument, "Let's stop here!"
Yu Yao was still not convinced and was about to retort, but Yu Yi came forward with red eyes and grabbed him.
"Ayao, that maid did this because she thought Xiaozhi was not good to me..." Yu Yu looked extremely remorseful. "I asked my father not to call the Investigation Department. I just didn't want...her to go to jail for helping me..."
Yu Yao looked over in surprise. He couldn't have imagined that this was the reason.
"But this is too much... How can you drug me?" He scratched his hair, feeling a little annoyed.
"Anyway, Aletraline won't cause any substantial harm to the body..." Yu Yu whispered.
Yu Ji had already made the final decision on the matter, and Yu Yi also looked aggrieved and self-blaming, so Yu Yao had no choice but to turn a blind eye and let it go.
Just think of it as a lesson for Yu Zhi.
I believe that after this time, she will no longer act as willfully as before.
Yu Yao thought about how well-behaved Yu Zhi was just now, and even felt that this incident wasn't so bad after all.
"Okay, you all go to bed early." Yu Ji was in a bad mood. He finished his tea and went upstairs.
Yu Yao also prepared to go back to his room, but when he reached the stairs, he was stopped by Yu Yi.
"Ayao," Yu Yu stood in the living room, his face somewhat unclear in the dim light, "Is Xiaozhi okay?"
Yu Yao thought for a moment and said comfortingly, "He has a fever, but it's nothing serious. Don't blame yourself too much."
"That's good." Yu Yu seemed to be relieved, and then casually said, "But Yao, this is the first time I see you care so much about Xiao Zhi."
Yu Yao was stunned for a moment: "Really?"
Maybe it was because this was an unexpected disaster for Yu Zhi, and she even called herself "brother" in a daze.
This is the first time he heard Yu Zhi willing to call him brother since she was brought back.
"After all, Yu Zhi has suffered a lot outside for so many years, so you should take better care of her if you can." Yu Yao was talking to both Yu Yi and himself.
After saying that, he turned and went upstairs, and naturally did not notice the stiff expression on Yu Yu's face.
