Daddy, Here Is Mommy

The person lying on the bamboo chair didn't even move his lips, he just lightly rolled his protruding adam's apple.    

"Ah Wu, it's been raining for a few days, are you bored?"    

Helan Xi sat on a bamboo stool beside him. The fire that was filled with a strong smell of medicine jumped in his clear eyes.    

For the past few days, it had been raining heavily for several days, so it was not convenient for him to go out.    

"With Paul accompanying me, I'm not bored at all."    

The man called 'Wu' narrowed his eyes, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.    

Woof woof woof.    

It was unknown where the dog had drilled its way in.    

"In the end, it's still somewhat peaceful and quiet …"    

Helan Xi paused for a while and continued in a warm voice.    

"Why don't you move to my place?"    

"No..."    

Awu Mi's black eyelashes blinked as he softly refused. Finally, he added.    

"I came here because I wanted to live a quiet life. If I go to your place, I'm afraid … "    

After just a few sentences, he felt that he was somewhat unable to catch his breath. He opened his mouth and felt his heart rise and fall.    

"Understood."    

Helan Xi didn't insist. He saw that the medicine pot on the brick bed was emitting hot steam with a sound of "Gu Gu". Ye Zichen was stunned. he asked.    

"How long has this medicine been going on for?"    

"It should be several hours now..."    

The corner of Ah Wu's mouth curled up as he revealed an unfathomable smile.    

When Helan Xi heard this, he felt sad. He could not figure out such a simple matter. I've been here for a while. Not only did the illness not alleviate in the least, it even worsened. Could it be that he really was hopeless?    

"Did you eat today?"    

"I ate two mouthfuls."    

Ah Wu's reply was extremely weak.    

Seeing that, Helan Xi stood up, took off the medicine jar from the fire brick bed and poured out half a bowl of medicine.    

It was unknown how long the medicinal juice had been simmering for. Helan Xi couldn't help but frown and feel sad.    

However, he had experienced such a thing before.    

At that time, he was just as calm as Ah Wu, waiting for death to come.    

"Drink slowly, I'll get you some candied fruits."    

Helan Xi placed the medicine bowl in his hand, lowered his eyes and said gently.    

"Alright... "Thank you …"    

Ah Wu raised his eyes and forced a smile.    

Helan Xi smiled warmly.    

Woof woof woof.    

Paul, who was lying at the door of the side room, suddenly stood up and ran to A-Wu, wagging his tail and shouting. It seemed to warn him to drink the medicine quickly.    

A man and a dog, in this place that was cut off from the rest of the world, each lived together.    

"Don't rush me, I will drink."    

A Wu's deep-set eyes lit up with a hint of love.    

Woof, woof...    

Paul called again.    

Helan Xi took out the candied fruits and said with a smile.    

"It does its duty."    

Ah Wu smiled but didn't say anything.    

Perhaps the medicinal juice was too bitter, the veins on his forehead popped out after he drank two mouthfuls. In the firelight, the cheekbones on both sides of his face were suffused with a faint red glow.    

"Slow down. No rush."    

Helan Xi took care of him as he finished the medicine and looked out the window.    

"Ah Wu, I need to go to the Yunjing tomorrow. Do I need to bring you something?"    

A5 took a candied fruit in his mouth and spoke in a slightly slurred tone.    

"There's no need..."    

Helan Xi sat with him for a while longer. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and said his goodbyes.    

"Ah Wu, I'm leaving."    

"Mr. Lan, please forgive me for not being able to send you off."    

"No need to send me off. Rest well. "    

Helan Xi patted his thin shoulder and left with light footsteps.    

Woof woof woof.    

Paul walked him to the gate.    

"Take good care of your young master."    

Helan Xi bent his waist with a gentle smile on his handsome face.    

"Trust me, he'll be fine."    

Woof woof woof.    

Paul's shouts were much more cheerful.    

Helan Xi turned around and left.    

As he left, the clouds and mist dispersed, and the bright and beautiful sunlight shone down onto the mountain. The trees were verdant and glistening, and the gurgling waters of the stream gleamed brightly in the sunlight.
