Chapter 14

Err… Was she overthinking it?

Yi Feng’s constitution couldn’t be that weak, could it?

Or could it actually be that weak?

Maybe… she should bring him some cold medicine?

After pondering for a while, Gu Muxi stood up from her seat and tiptoed to her door.

She listened for any sounds outside her room, noticing the living room was silent, indicating her parents had probably gone to their room.

She sighed in relief, slowly opened the door, and stealthily made her way to the living room towards the TV cabinet, searching for the medicine box for any cold medicine.

“Huh? Where is it? I clearly remember it being here,” Gu Muxi scratched her head, confused.

“Muxi, what are you looking for?”

Li Wan’s voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Gu Muxi jolted, quickly standing up and awkwardly smiling, “Mom, you’re still awake? I, I’m looking for something.”

Li Wan glanced at the opened medicine box and smiled, “I moved the cold medicine to the left drawer.”

“Err…” Gu Muxi was stunned.

She didn’t understand how Li Wan knew what she was looking for.

“Aunt Meng told me Yi Feng might be having a slight cold.”

“You wanted to bring Yi Feng some cold medicine, right?” Li Wan saw through her little scheme at a glance.

Gu Muxi’s cheeks heated up, and she mumbled, trying to find an excuse but eventually admitted honestly.

“I just… okay, yes, mom.”

“Go and give it to Yi Feng then. I’ll head back to rest,” Li Wan smiled and left.

Gu Muxi sighed in relief, opened the side drawer, and finally found the cold medicine.

She took the medicine and went to Yi Feng’s door, knocking.

“Who is it?”

Meng Xiaoyun opened the door to find Gu Muxi standing there, pretty as a picture.

She asked in surprise, “Muxi, what’s up?”

“Auntie, I heard Yi Feng might have a cold. Here’s some cold medicine; it might help him get better,” Gu Muxi handed over a box of cold medicine from behind her.

Meng Xiaoyun took the medicine, gently touched her head, and smiled, “Thank you, little Muxi.”

Gu Muxi stuck out her tongue cutely, “Tell Yi Feng to take the medicine and rest early, auntie. I’m going back now~”

“See you tomorrow, auntie.”

“Alright, see you tomorrow.”

Having delivered the medicine, Gu Muxi felt much lighter, returned to her room, and focused on her homework.

After finishing her homework and reviewing her lessons, she noticed it was already 11 PM.

Yawning, she stretched, her slim figure fully revealed.

“Has stinky Yi Feng fallen asleep?”

She got up, went to the window, and opened the curtains to see that the light in Yi Feng’s room was off.

“He must be sleepy after taking the medicine, right?”

“He should be better by tomorrow, right?”

She stood at the window, hands propping up her face, talking to herself.

Seeing no light in Yi Feng’s room, she closed the curtains and went back to bed, hugging the pig doll to sleep.

The drowsiness overcame her, and her eyelids grew heavy, soon falling asleep.

That night, she had a strange dream.

In the dream, she saw Yi Feng was sick, constantly murmuring about being cold.

She had nothing to warm him up, so she could only hold him tight.

The two of them huddled together, and after a while, she felt Yi Feng stopped shivering.

So she asked, “Stinky Yi Feng, how are you feeling? Better?”

“Much better!”

Yi Feng suddenly turned his head, but what she saw wasn’t his face but the pig doll’s face!

“Ah! A monster!”

Although the pig doll’s round face was cute, seeing it on Yi Feng’s body still gave her a shock.

Monster, watch out for my death cross lock!

Gu Muxi reflexively locked the monster in front of her with a deadly cross lock.

“Muxi, Muxi.”

“Wake up, it’s time for school.”

“Why are you talking in your sleep?”

Her mother Li Wan’s voice rang in her ears, and Gu Muxi suddenly woke up, seeing her mother’s face.

“Uh… Mom, good, good morning!”

Li Wan didn’t say anything but covered her mouth, chuckling as if she saw something funny.

Following her gaze, Gu Muxi looked down to see the pig doll being tightly controlled in a death cross lock position.

It really was just a dream!

“Alright, get up and brush your teeth and wash your face.”

“I made fried eggs and mushroom and minced meat porridge, and you can also bring some for Yi Feng,” Li Wan urged.

Hearing about the porridge, Gu Muxi’s eyes lit up, “Yay!”

But then she remembered, if it weren’t for Yi Feng being sick, she probably wouldn’t have gotten this treatment, right?

Mom, am I really your biological child?

After Li Wan left the room, Gu Muxi got up, took the clothes pole, and performed the familiar routine of poking Yi Feng’s window.

“Hey, lazybones, get up!”

“If you don’t get up now, we’ll be late!”

After a while, the window on the other side finally moved, and the curtains were pulled apart to reveal Yi Feng, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

“Morning, Gu Muxi.”

“Morning, my foot! Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face. I’ll bring you something delicious later!” Gu Muxi urged in Li Wan’s tone.

But she didn’t forget to ask with concern, “How are you feeling? Better?”

Yi Feng yawned, stretching, and smiled, “Much better, thanks to your cold medicine last night. Thanks.”

He knew last night that Gu Muxi was still very concerned about him.

After taking the cold medicine, he went to bed early, and by morning, the cold was already much better.

“No thanks needed, I’m just this generous,” Gu Muxi patted her chest.

Yi Feng glanced at her, sympathetically said, “Hey, be gentle, gentle.”

“What?”

“Another pat and it might get flatter.”

Gu Muxi: “???”

“Stinky Yi Feng, you’re dead meat!”

“Slam!”

Gu Muxi closed the window and drew the curtains.

She was fuming, her chest heaving rapidly.

Stinky Yi Feng, daring to say I’m flat…

Absolutely outrageous!

She looked down at her collar and peeked inside.

Small is small…

But not flat!

Where is it flat?

I’m developing normally, okay!

Damn it!

I’ll deal with him later!

Gu Muxi, with a stern face, changed into her school uniform and left her room to brush her teeth and wash her face.

She came to the dining table to see her mother had already prepared two porridge pots, breakfast to take to school.

The mushroom and minced meat

porridge emitted an enticing aroma, making her drool.

Mom is really too good to stinky Yi Feng!

“Muxi, don’t forget to bring some for Yi Feng when you leave.”

“Also, taste it and see if it’s salty enough. If you find it bland, feel free to add some salt,” Li Wan called from the kitchen.

Gu Muxi, with a cunning smile, said, “Mom, I think it’s a bit bland. Yi Feng likes it saltier.”

“I’ll add a bit more salt for him!”
