Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother Novel - Chapter 164

164 Catching Two Dirty Cats

“Eh? I’ve been looking for you for a long time. So you’re taking a shower here.”

Li Shouji looked at Jiang Danhe who was looking damp but healthy. He heaved a sigh of relief. He was fine, thankfully.

“Quick, let’s have the physician take a look.”

With that, Li Shouji pulled the two men into the room.

!!
Jiang Danhe stepped inside the room first. After hiding the underwear that he had changed out of, he pretended to sit casually at the table.

“I’m fine,”

Jiang Danhe explained to Li Shouji ten thousand times, but the latter refused to listen and kept urging the doctor to take his pulse.

The doctor had just managed to catch his breath when Li Shouji started urging him again. He was on the verge of vomiting blood. Was this a house call or a death call? The ride earlier was so bumpy that he almost vomited.

Looking at the extremely well-built man in front of him, the doctor felt a little helpless. This person’s face was rosy and healthy. Why did he have to take his pulse?

However, out of his obligation as a doctor, he still had to take Jiang Danhe’s pulse.

Li Shouji scratched his head anxiously as he looked at the motionless Jiang Danhe. He helped to lift Jiang Danhe’s hand and placed it on the pulse pillow.

Jiang Danhe could only sit still as he was unable to dissuade Li Shouji.

The doctor stroked his little beard and carefully felt the man’s pulse.

“Ridiculous!”

The doctor roared twice in absurdity before withdrawing the pillow. He was clearly very angry.

His actions puzzled the two men.

Li Shouji hurriedly asked the doctor who was about to leave, “Doctor, don’t leave. How is his health?”

Why was the doctor leaving without saying anything?

“Sigh, there’s nothing wrong with you, General. It’s just that your kidney-fire is too hyperactive and your heart-fire is exuberant. However, this is not a big issue. You just need to relieve them in moderation.” After saying that, he got ready to leave. However, he turned around and said, “I see that you’ve already relieved the fires. There’s no need to take any medicine.”

With that, the doctor left without even asking for the consultation fee. Just before he left, he sighed to himself, “Ay, this trip…”

Li Shouji didn’t understand, but Jiang Danhe did. He couldn’t hide the embarrassment on his face. When he heard the doctor’s sigh at the door, Jiang Danhe really wanted to disappear.

Li Shouji didn’t get it, but he had to get to the bottom of this matter, so he quickly chased after the doctor.

Jiang Danhe stood up and wanted to call Li Shouji back, but when he walked to the door, he saw that there was no sign of the man.

He slammed the door shut. “What the hell is this!”

He was already an adult, but he still had to face the embarrassment of being exposed over such matters. He angrily dug out his hidden underwear and threw it back on the bed.

During lunch, only Xiaoyi and Zhuang Zhuang were eating at the table in the hall. The two children stared at each other in confusion.

“Zhuang Zhuang, why are we the only ones eating?”

“I don’t know. Mother said she wasn’t hungry and Father said he had something to do.” Zhuang Zhuang told him everything he knew.

“What about Uncle Shouji?”

Wen Xiaoyi nodded, but they were missing one person.

“Yes… I don’t know. He’s not at the residence.”

Zhuang Zhuang shook his head to show that he was not sure. When he was looking for Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe, he bumped into Li Shouji on the way and saw him leaving with a white-bearded man. In any case, he had not returned ever since then.

Xiaoyi shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, indicating that adults were really difficult to understand. There was food, but none of them wanted to eat.

“Zhuang Zhuang, let’s eat. We can eat more.”

“Okay!”

When the cat’s away, the mice will play.

It took two hours for the two kids to finish their meal. The table was in a mess. Even their bodies were covered in vegetable soup and rice. Their hands were dripping with soup while their fingernails had rice grains stuck to them.

Although Zhuang Zhuang and Wen Xiaoyi were making a mess, they didn’t waste any food. It just happened that some rice had spilled out from their bowls and soup had dripped from the vegetables.

When the kitchen maids came over to clear the table, they almost fainted when they saw the scene. “Was there a war at the table? It was so messy.”

Zhuang Zhuang and Wen Xiaoyi wanted to continue playing in the study, but when they touched the rice paper, their grimy hands left marks all over it. Only then did they remember to wash their hands.

After washing their hands, the two children looked at each other and finally saw each other’s faces. They both moved away from each other in disgust.

“Zhuang Zhuang, should we take a shower?”

Xiaoyi spoke hesitantly. They had been having so much fun just now. He did not expect to end up looking like this and was starting to feel uncomfortable all over.

“Okay! Let’s go into the house and get our clothes.”

Zhuang Zhuang’s idea was great. Although Xiaoyi was older than him and was more playful, he was the one who took the lead in everything. Moreover, Xiaoyi always listened to him.

The two children took a step away from each other and went back to the house to get their clothes. In fact, they were quite disgusted by each other at this very moment…

When they returned to the room, they did not even look at Xiaoguo, who was sitting on the bed. Both of them opened up their own bags.

“Here, Xiaoyi.”

Zhuang Zhuang quickly found a clean set of clothes and handed it to Xiaoyi. Then, he found himself another set of clothes before going out to find a bathing spot.

“Hey, hey, hey,” Xiaoguo called out to them.

Just now, she was deep in thought when she heard the door open. She looked up and saw the two dirty kids.

At this moment, Xiaoguo was no longer thinking. All that she had was anger. Were these two children causing trouble in the kitchen?

When she saw the two children enter the room without a sound, rummaging through their clothes and turning to leave, Xiaoguo was not about to let them go. She had yet to ask them how they had ended up in this state.

Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi’s backs trembled as they gulped and exchanged looks. “Run!” The two children ran out instantly.

Xiaoguo could see the guilt on their faces, it was like they were already confessing to their deeds. She had only wanted to ask what was going on, but the two children had run away in fear. Now Xiaoguo had to get to the bottom of this. Earlier on, she was still wondering why the kids were so quiet today, and thought that something must be up.

First, she called out to the two of them. When they didn’t respond, Xiaoguo chased after them.

“Zhuang Zhuang! Xiaoyi! Go ahead and run. See what I’ll do if I catch you.”

Although Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoyi had short legs, they were pretty fast. Xiaoguo had to jog quickly to keep up with them, but by the time she turned the corner, she could no longer see them.

Xiaoguo guessed that they couldn’t have gone far—they were probably hiding nearby. Hence, she decided to take it easy. She briefly looked around and pretended to leave, but in actual fact, she was hiding in a dark corner and looking out for them.

“Zhuang Zhuang, is it safe now?”

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Xiaoyi spoke.

Xiaoguo listened carefully and zoomed in on the location. “Oh, so this was the place.”

“Shh!”

Zhuang Zhuang quickly covered Xiaoyi’s mouth. “Don’t speak.”

Xiaoyi nodded and Zhuang Zhuang let go of him.

After a while, Zhuang Zhuang raised his head and looked around.

Seeing this, Xiaoguo immediately hid, afraid that Zhuang Zhuang would see her.

Xiaoguo couldn’t help but snicker at his actions. The boy was quite cautious. He even knew how to scout.

When she heard voices again, Xiaoguo slowly poked her head out.

“Zhuang Zhuang, how is it? Can we speak now?”

“Yes.”
