Lele nodded his head in agreement too, as if he quite approved.
"Uncle had a foresight, but mother is also very impressive."
Yangyangâs eyes were mischievously glinting as he suddenly turned his head to Lele and said, "However, âHandsome Dadâ really prioritizes beauty over friendships, huh? He woke up with just one kiss from mom, but why didnât he wake up when I kissed him? Thatâs so unfair."
"Little brother, this is called âprioritizing beauty over your own son,â" Lele said with a little roll of his eyes, patting Yangyangâs small shoulder.
"Anyway, itâs all the same," Yangyang muttered, stroking his chin with one hand and wrapping his other arm around Leleâs shoulder, "But Iâm so happy âHandsome Dadâ is better now. Brother, give me a kiss, give me a kiss."
"Ew, whoâs going to kiss you?" Lele said with disgust, pushing away Yangyangâs little face, "You ate candied dates, I donât like the taste of dates."
"Wow, stinky Lele, you despise me."
Yangyang put his hands on his hips and pouted in displeasure, while Lele just shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands out, clearly meaning I do despise you.
On the other side, Mu Shaoling had finally managed to get out of bed, thinking that Ye Ziâan had not yet woken up and inwardly murmuring to himself that it should not be so, according to the time he should have awakened by now. With these thoughts in his mind, he took his medicine box and headed towards the main courtyard; but the moment he set foot into the courtyard, he received an unprecedented welcome from Yangyang.
"Hey hey, letâs talk this out, no need to get physical, okay?" Mu Shaoling dodged while saying, "Iâm not your âHandsome Dad,â donât pounce on me."
"Uncle, youâre too awesome, youâre so badass," Yangyang said as he gave a big thumbs up, "I really admire you. You actually got it right, mom really did kiss âHandsome Dadâ awake. Uncle, you must be the worldâs most amazing divine doctor, no one can compare to you."
Then Mu Shaoling realized why the little guy was acting this way.
But wait a minute! What? Ye Ziâan woke up? Woken up by Yang Chuxiaâs kiss?
Damn, no way! He had just said it casually, right? Could it be such a coincidence?
"Your dadâs really awake?" Mu Shaoling turned his head to ask Lele.
"Yeah, heâs awake!" Lele nodded his head and then added, "Heâs inside catching up with mom right now, youâll probably have to wait a bit before going in."
Mu Shaoling blinked his eyes, taking a while to come to terms with this news.
Then he snorted, sharing the same thought as Yangyang, "Your dad really does prioritize beauty over friendships! All those needles I stabbed him with didnât wake him up, but your mom doesnât even need to stab and heâs awake."
"Donât you know to hide a little when speaking ill of someone?" A hoarse voice came from inside; Mu Shaoling immediately got a shock and looked down at the two little ones, "Your dadâs talking again?"
Seeing the two little ones nod, Mu Shaoling pushed the door open and went inside, while also saying, "Whoa, whatâs with that awful voice? Sounds like a male duck."
"You should ask yourself that," Ye Ziâan cracked a smile, "I guess the medicine you prescribed wasnât quite right, and it also messed up my voice."
"Get lost," Mu Shaoling said irritably, stepping forward to take his pulse. "Youâre lucky the right medicinal ingredients were found in time; those toxins are gone. Now itâs all about recuperation. Doesnât your family have medicine nannies? Iâll prescribe a few medicinal meals for you later."
"Thank you."
"Alright, alright, I actually feel uneasy hearing you thank me," Mu Shaoling thought to himself, wondering if he had a masochistic streak.
"Have the other sick people been given the antidote too?" Recalling what happened before he lost consciousness, Ye Ziâan asked.
"Oh, come on now, everyone else is fine, the seriously ill have had their medicine, so donât worry about them. You better worry about yourself first," Mu Shaoling retorted.
