Xiao Linmu turned around and left the room. Not long after, he returned with a bowl in his hand.

"Yes."

Xia Yi sat on the bed and reached out to receive the bowl.

The bowl was warm and the medicine inside was no longer hot.

Xia Yi took a small sip before stopping and looked at Xiao Linmu with the bowl in his hands.

"Still hot?" Xiao Linmu reached out to the side of the bowl to feel its temperature, and said, "It's not hot."

Xia Yi's face scrunched together, and said: "This medicine is too bitter."

Xia Yi had never tasted Chinese medicine before, she had only heard others say that it was bitter, she did not think much of it at the time, but she did not expect it to be so bitter.

Not only was it painful, it was also sore and astringent. If Xiao Linmu was not watching by the side, she would have vomited the medicine on the spot.

"Drink it." Xiao Linmu said again.

Xia Yi carefully asked: "Can you... You don't want to drink it? "

The sickly Xia Yi removed the hard outer shell on her body, and with the special soft voice, she was like an injured kitten right now, causing Xiao Linmu's heart to fiercely jump.

His hands slowly released their grip as he said sternly, "No! It's even more bitter when it's cold. "

Seeing Xiao Linmu standing there and staring intently, Xia Yi knew that she couldn't escape, and could only take in a deep breath and drink all the food in the bowl in one go.

Just as he was about to speak, an irrepressible bitterness gushed out from his stomach and filled his mouth in an instant.

Xia Yi wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

After the bowl was taken from his hand, something else was stuffed inside.

"Eat this."

"There's more?" Xia Yi subconsciously thought it was a big pill, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a candied fruit.

She quickly peeled the candied fruits and placed it in her mouth, the sweetness washing away the bitter taste, causing Xia Yi to feel better.

"Anything else?" Xia Yi asked.

Xiao Linmu had already reached the door, his body paused as he answered: "No more."

He had asked the doctor for this candied fruit...

Xia Yi sighed lightly. Why didn't she think of having some candied fruits at home?

After drinking the medicine, Xia Yi's eyelids started to grow heavy again. When Xiao Linmu came back with the bowl in his hands again, Xia Yi had already fallen asleep on the bed.

Xiao Linmu placed the bowl on the table, went over and covered Xia Yi's blanket, then returned back to the table.

This was the first time he had ever gone into the kitchen to cook. He had thought that with Xia Yi's noodles that had been left to dry, cooking would be easy.

He hadn't thought that just lighting a fire would waste such a long time.

When she returned, Xia Yi was already fast asleep.

Xiao Linmu picked up the chopsticks and stirred the noodles in the bowl. They had already been cooked to a crisp, and looked completely different from the noodles that Xia Yi had cooked.

He frowned, picked up a strand of noodles and tasted it, then put down his chopsticks.

The noodles tasted so light that he forgot to put salt in them.

In fact, even if he hadn't forgotten that there were so many jars in the kitchen, he still wouldn't have been able to tell which one was salt and which was sugar.

The next day, when Xia Yi opened her eyes, the sky was already bright.

Under the effects of the pill, she fell into the most comfortable sleep she had had since coming here.

With her body feeling much better, Xia Yi got off the bed and prepared to cook.

When they passed through the hallway, they found Xiao Linmu, Xia Yang and Xia Yue eating.

"You're awake?"

Xiao Linmu naturally scooped a bowl of porridge for Xia Yi.

"This... You did it? "

Xia Yi asked as she saw the dishes on the table.

In this house, other than Xiao Linmu, there were only Xia Yang and Xia Yue.

Xia Yue was only six years old, and was only slightly taller than the stove.

"It was sent by the Granny Liu." Xiao Linmu said naturally.

Yesterday, he was also a doctor that Granny Liu had hired from another village.

Xia Yi had just drunk a mouthful of congee with her bowl, and upon hearing Xiao Linmu's words, she nearly choked, "Cough cough cough, does Granny Liu know of your existence?"

Yesterday, Xia Yi suddenly fainted. In a moment of danger, Xiao Linmu told Xia Yue to find the Granny Liu next door.

"I already knew." Xiao Linmu said indifferently.

He had also lived in Xia Yi's home for over a month.

Xia Yi was always busy in the town and not at home. Granny Liu was worried about Xia Yang and Xia Yue, so she often knocked on the door.

Xia Yang and Xia Yue were both children, so they weren't very good at hiding.

The Granny Liu would often come to deliver food to Xia Yang, who ate quite a lot.

"Morning... You already know? " Xia Yi's eyes widened as he looked at Xia Yang. It had been so long, but she didn't detect him at all.

Not only had he not heard the Granny Liu mention it, Xia Yang had also never mentioned it to her.

Xia Yang innocently blinked his eyes at Xia Yue: "It wasn't us who said that, Granny Liu came to my house to see Big Brother …"

"Does anyone else know?" Xia Yi facepalmed and asked.

"No more."

"No more."

Xia Yang and Xia Yue shook their heads at the same time.

Xiao Linmu also shook his head, he could not see what was happening, and he had the innocent expression of Xia Yang and Xia Yue on his face.

Xia Yi thought about the last time Xiao Linmu suddenly appeared in front of Xia Changsheng.

However, he still said, "Be more careful in the future."

She was very clear in her heart that with Xiao Linmu's degree of sensitivity, wanting to not be discovered was an extremely simple matter, so she did not say much.

What's more … She didn't dare to say more …

Xiao Linmu nodded.

Xia Yi rubbed her eyes, she had a strange feeling that Xiao Linmu was very obedient.

Although her condition was better than yesterday, Xia Yi still planned to rest at home for the day. The restaurant was still being renovated, and with the Boss Hee watching over it, nothing could go wrong.

The sky had gotten warmer. Xia Yi sat in the courtyard basking in the sun, watching Xiao Linmu teaching Xia Yang how to write with a brush.

As the sun gradually set, the color of the sky changed from gold and white to orange. Xiao Linmu's face was bathed in the orange light, giving off a warm feeling.

Xia Yi couldn't shift her gaze away for a moment.

Xiao Linmu suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Xia Yi, who hurriedly shifted his eyes away.

"Young master." Leng Qianjue's voice sounded.

Only now did Xia Yi know that Leng Qianjue had appeared behind her.

She let out a sigh of relief.

"Write it yourselves first." Xiao Linmu put down the brush and stepped into the house.

Leng Qianjue also followed him.

Xia Yi was extremely tactful in this regard, and did not take the initiative to listen to what Leng Qianjue had to say to him.

She picked up the chair to sit beside Xia Yang and Xia Yang to watch them write.

"Elder sister, do you see how Yang wrote it?"

Xia Yang happily showed the "Xia" word he had just written to Xia Yi.

Looking at the paper that was twisted left and right with the word "Xia", Xia Yi didn't know what to say anymore. She only said: "Yang will write even better if she practices more."

"Yeah!" Xia Yang accepted all of Xia Yi's praise, and started to write even harder.

Xia Yi turned to look at the paper on which Xia Yue was sitting, and saw rows and rows of neat and tidy small characters, which were completely different from Xia Yang's style.

She could not help but praise, "Yue Yue wrote well."

Xia Yue just smiled shyly.

As for the two people inside the house, they did indeed have important things to say, but this matter was related to Xia Yi.
