I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Xiao Yizhuo heard her voice and did not refute. He silently fed the medicine in the bowl to Wen Shutang: "When the time is right, I will tell you everything."

"Hey, don't think too much. I'm not trying to pry into your privacy." Wen Shutang joked with his head tilted.

Xiao Yizhuo put the empty medicine bowl on the table beside him, his face showing seriousness: "You are my wife, and it would be okay to tell you, but now things have not been handled yet, telling you may bring disaster, I don't want you to be in danger."

Wen Shutang was stunned. She didn't expect Xiao Yizhuo to explain the reason to her so seriously. The obvious concern in his words made her feel a little helpless for a moment.

"Well, it's okay. You can tell me when you have dealt with it."

Perhaps because he felt that this reply was a little too official, Wen Shutang touched the tip of his nose awkwardly.

She inexplicably felt that Xiao Yizhuo was different from before, and there was something wrong with the atmosphere between them.

"Take the medicine and have a good rest. I'll go make some porridge later." Xiao Yizhuo pursed his lips and instructed.

"Well, let's not tell my parents about this, so as not to make them worry." Wen Shutang's throat was still hoarse, and he felt like his throat was on fire after saying a few words.

I just took the medicine and my mouth feels bitter and astringent, and there is an indescribable taste.

Xiao Yizhuo saw her frown and poured her a glass of water at the right time and handed it to her: "I know, don't worry."

Wen Shutang nodded and said nothing more. The strong discomfort in her throat made her not want to open her mouth.

When she thought of Xiao Ze's injury, she couldn't help but frown, and thought to herself, fortunately Xiao Ze was fine, otherwise she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

Xiao Yizhuo lit the stove in the room: "I'll go make porridge, you take a good rest."

Wen Shutang hummed and watched him walk out of the room before looking away.

She leaned against the head of the bed, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It turned out that she had suffered all kinds of knife and gunshot wounds when she was in the army. She had endured them all by herself. She had never shown the slightest bit of softness in front of anyone.

This was the first time someone took care of her like this when she was injured. Thinking of Xiao Yizhuo's gentle look just now, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Wen Shutang bent his legs and buried his slightly hot face in the quilt, the corners of his lips unable to help but rise.

In fact, it feels good to be taken care of by someone.

As soon as Xiao Yizhuo walked out of the room, he saw two children standing at the door, peeking inside.

Seeing Xiao Yizhuo coming out, Xiao Ye was the first to speak: "Dad, how is Mom?"

"I just took some medicine and am resting."

"Then can we go in and take a look?" Xiao Wan pinched the corner of her clothes, her pretty face full of worry.

Xiao Yizhuo knew that the two little guys were worried about Wen Shutang, so he raised his hand and touched their heads, and softened his voice to comfort them: "Her throat is uncomfortable, let her rest for a while, and wait until I cook the porridge and then go in together, how about it?"

The two children nodded sensibly.

After comforting the two children, Xiao Yizhuo went to the kitchen to prepare porridge.

Xiao Wan followed him and wanted to help, but Xiao Ye returned to his room in a daze.

Xiao Ze was resting in the house. When he saw Xiao Ye coming back, he asked, "Did you see mother?"

Xiao Ye shook his head: "No, mother is resting."

As the eldest brother, Xiao Ze immediately felt that the younger brother in front of him was a little different from usual.

"what happened to you?"

Xiao Ye was sitting on a round stool, and he looked even more dejected after hearing what his elder brother said.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Ye replied in a low voice: "Brother, am I particularly useless?"

Xiao Ze was stunned for a moment, not understanding where he said this.

"why would you say so?"

Xiao Ye pursed his lips tightly, his back tensed. "When the danger occurred, it was my eldest brother who rushed to protect mom first, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to move. Even when my eldest brother asked me to go find dad, my legs were so weak that I didn't dare to move. It was even my youngest sister who pulled me back to my senses."

Xiao Ze suddenly remembered the critical moment at that time, and Xiao Ye was indeed frightened.

"Don't think so about yourself. If you hadn't called dad here, mom and I might have met with an accident now. Besides, you are still young, so it's normal to be scared. When you grow up, you can protect everyone."

Xiao Ze stood up and walked to Xiao Ye's side. He bent down and looked directly at his lost brother. He comforted him in a gentle tone: "I am your eldest brother. Of course I have to protect you if there is danger. Don't think too much."

After hearing what Xiao Ze said, Xiao Ye did feel better, but his brows were still not relaxed.

My eldest brother is very good at studying and is favored by Master Zhao. He is also very courageous and is not afraid of thieves at all.

My little sister is sensible and good at speaking. She can make the elders laugh. She also helps my parents cook and keeps the housework in order.

It seems that he is the only one who is useless and even fails at critical moments.

Such a huge sense of gap made Xiao Ye feel very uncomfortable.

But he didn't want to make his elder brother worry too much, so he forced a smile on his face and said in a casual tone: "It's okay, elder brother, I just suddenly feel a little concerned."

After Xiao Ye finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the room.

Xiao Ze frowned and looked at his back. Seeing his little brother, who used to be a calm and cheerful person all the time, become so worried, he felt bad.

Xiao Yizhuo and Xiao Wan quickly cooked the millet porridge. He walked out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of steaming and fragrant millet porridge and bumped into Xiao Ye head-on.

"Second brother, the porridge is ready. Let's take it to mom!" Xiao Wan called Xiao Ye happily.

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, then nodded and followed the two of them.

Xiao Yizhuo lowered his eyes and looked at him, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.

Normally, Xiao Ye would come over with shining eyes when he saw something delicious, but now he had no interest in the millet porridge at all.

Xiao Yizhuo didn't think much about it and just thought that he had no appetite because he was worried about Wen Shutang.

After bringing the two children into the house, Wen Shutang did not fall asleep, but kept his eyes open and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

When I heard a sound at the door, I turned around and saw two children coming. I immediately smiled and waved to them.

Xiao Wan excitedly rushed to Wen Shutang's side and looked at her nervously: "Mom, how are you? Are you still in pain? If your throat hurts, don't talk. Just nod or shake your head."

Wen Shutang was amused by her and shook his head with a smile.

Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Xiao Ye standing nearby with his head lowered, and he keenly noticed that something was not right with the boy.

She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye then came back to his senses, raised his head and looked at Wen Shutang with a forced smile.

"Mom, are you feeling better?"
