Seeing his wife’s stubborn expression, Xiao Yuchuan thought about taking a few sips and leaving the rest in the bowl, but realized he was too weak to hold it. “Wife, I can’t hold it…”
She knew he was not pretending and thought about how he had not eaten anything since yesterday morning until now, while she had fed second brother a bowl of porridge the night before, making third brother even hungrier than him.
So, she put the basket on a chair beside the bed and brought out a bowl of porridge. Using chopsticks to pick up the porridge was inconvenient, so she returned to the kitchen and got two spoons.
Gurgle… Gurgle…
Xiao Yuchuan’s belly rumbled unceasingly when he smelled the porridge.
She didn’t laugh at him and picked up one of the bowls, bringing a spoonful of porridge to his lips. “Drink.”
He opened his mouth to take the spoon and porridge, then stuck out his tongue. “So hot…”
“It won’t kill you.” She said, but blew on the porridge a few times before feeding him another spoonful. He laughed after drinking the porridge, “My wife really knows how to take care of her husband.”
Her expression became stern, “Nothing can shut your mouth up, even food. Stop talking nonsense!”
Xiao Yuchuan sneakily glanced at second brother, thinking that his wife was feeding him first, meaning she cared more about him than second brother. Would second brother be angry?
Xiao Yishan wasn’t angry, though he was also hungry. He clearly wasn’t as hungry as his third brother, but seeing the porridge made him think of…
Last night, when he was feeling drowsy and sick, his mouth tasted bitter. He wanted to spit out the bitterness, but it was blocked by something soft and slippery. He could only swallow it down.
He guessed…
His wife had fed him the medicine with her mouth?
He had also fed his wife the medicine with his mouth when she had a fever that night, and the feeling was almost the same as last night.
He stared doubtfully at his wife’s small mouth, thinking about the sweet and soft taste he experienced in his drowsy state. He couldn’t help but yearn for it.
As for last night, when his wife fed him porridge with a spoon, he had a little bit of consciousness. He cooperatively finished a bowl. Third brother must have been starving since he didn’t eat anything last night.
If his wife was willing to feed him with her mouth, then she was willing to accept him, right?
A glimmer of hope filled Xiao Yishan’s heart. But thinking about their current situation at home, his deep eyes darkened again.
Xiao Yuchuan had finished half of his porridge when he shook his head and said, “Wife, I’m full. Feed second brother, he’s starving too.”
She directly brought the remaining half of the bowl to his mouth. “If you’re worried about second brother, finish your bowl quickly.”
“But…’
“Don’t worry, the porridge is already divided. Just finish it.”
“Alright.” He drank the remaining porridge in a few gulps, seeing the bottom of the bowl soon after.
Su Qingyue put the empty bowl down and helped Xiao Yishan sit up. His large and muscular body was heavy, and it took some effort to even help him sit up.
Once he had sat up, she didn’t bother to feed him a spoon at a time. The porridge had cooled a bit, and the temperature would be just right when it reached his mouth. She brought the porridge bowl to his lips, “Second brother…
Xiao Yishan had intended to say he didn’t want to drink, but knew that his wife would insist on feeding him, so he cooperated and drank the entire bowl in a few gulps.
Su Qingyue swiftly finished her portion and put all the empty bowls into the basket. She returned to the kitchen with the basket. The porridge was cooked with water, making it a bit thin, and she worried it wouldn’t be filling enough, especially for second and third brothers. They had large appetites and surely didn’t get full now, but having something to eat was better than nothing. They would have to make do for now.
Xiao Qinghe had also finished his porridge by this time.
Qingyue quickly washed the bowls and carried Qinghe back to the secondary bedroom. Just as she was about to leave, a man’s voice came from outside the courtyard fence. “Is anyone at home?”
