Congrats to the boss and his brother

"Bang bang bang!"

Before dawn, the door of the medical hall was slammed and slammed.

The clerk who was sleeping in the gatekeeper of the front hall got up sleepily and opened the door, and saw a dusty young man standing outside, with a basket on his back, unmelted snow on his feet, and a layer of dust on his hair and clothes. Frost looked like he had come here at night.

"Is the doctor here?" the boy asked, his voice a little hoarse.

Without waiting for the buddy to respond, he carefully took off the pannier on his back.

"Come in first." The man stretched out his hand to help carry the basket, but the young man raised his hand to block it, and he carried the basket into the room steadily.

The young man raised his hand and gently lifted a corner of the blanket covering the basket, and the man saw clearly that there was an unconscious little girl in the basket.

The little girl's face was flushed, and she knew she had a fever.

While instructing the boy to carry the little girl to the couch in the house, the man trotted to the backyard to find someone.

Not long after, an old man with half-white hair hurried in.

Boss? Husband walked to the couch and took a closer look, surprised: "Little girl? Baby?"

The guy doesn't know why, there are so many people who come and go in this medical center every day, he probably won't remember it.

But this boss? Husband is different. Although he didn't recognize the boy standing beside him at a glance, he definitely won't fail to recognize the little girl? Baby.

In the past few days, he has devoted himself to researching the pills that his little girl gave him, and he got a lot of money. He just wanted to talk to this little girl.

"It's you?" The boss looked at the boy next to him again, slapped his forehead and said, "The boy from the Pei family who came on the snowy day is your brother, right?"

Pei Ye responded when he heard the words, looked away from the unconscious Chi Jingyao, and asked, "I? Brother? Are you okay?"

"Very good." Boss? Husband reached out to touch Chi Jingyao's forehead, and then opened his eyelids to look.Then he said to Pei Ye: "Little girl? The baby is not a big problem? It's you..."

Boss? Husband stared at Pei Ye and asked, "It's snowing heavily on the road. How did you get here?"

"Come here." Pei Ye said lightly, and his eyes moved back to Chi Jingyao.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the expression on the boss's husband's face? He was obviously taken aback.

He had just diagnosed Pei Yuan two days ago, and learned a little bit about their family's situation from Pei Yuan's mouth.

When they came to the county from home, it took them half a day to ride in a mule cart.

But this young man came here on foot with his little girl on his back!

Even if the weather is fine on weekdays, this journey is still far enough, not to mention that it has just snowed heavily, and the boy is still driving at night. One can imagine how difficult this journey is.

"Xiao Fang." The boss? Fu said to the guy, "Take him to drink a bowl of ginger soup, and find a place for him to rest."

Pei Ye didn't move when he heard the words, he just looked at Chi Jingyao, it was obviously not that big? Don't worry.

"There are already two patients in your family, do you want to be the third one?" the boss asked with raised eyebrows.

Pei Ye's face changed slightly when he heard the words, but he still stood there without moving.

Seeing this, the elder husband couldn't help laughing, knowing that since this boy was able to step on the snow overnight to bring the little girl here, it's human nature to be worried for a while.So he whispered a few more words to the guy, turned his attention away from Pei Ye, and began to help Chi Jingyao get the pulse.

"It burned for a day and a night?" the boss? Husband? asked.

"I? Only found out last night." Pei Ye said, with a little annoyance in his tone.

He could have noticed it earlier, the little thing started sneezing the day it snowed.

But when he saw that the other party woke up the next morning and ate a lot, and his complexion was not bad, he didn't think much about it.

It wasn't until nightfall last night that he went to check and found that the sweet potatoes and eggs he had put on the cabinet at noon hadn't been touched.

Small things have always had a good appetite, but now they don't eat a single bite, which is obviously unreasonable.

Only then did Pei Ye realize that something was wrong with the little thing.

He first went to boil a bowl of ginger soup, thinking that since the little thing was suffering from the wind and cold, drinking some ginger soup to warm him up would make him feel better.Unexpectedly, when he fed half a bowl of ginger soup, not only did the little thing not get better, but he even vomited the ginger soup? There was nothing left.

At that time, Little Thing's forehead was terribly hot. He didn't know what to do, so he could only get a cold handkerchief and put it on the other's forehead.

But after he tossed and tossed for a long time, the little thing's forehead became hotter and hotter, and even his body was burned.

At that time, Pei Ye looked at the unconscious Chi Jingyao, as if he had fallen into the nightmare that happened several years ago.

It was the same with Pei Yuan back then. At first, he was not very comfortable. Unexpectedly, after a delay of two days, he fell ill.

After a few years, the person lying in front of him changed from his big brother to this little thing.

Pei Ye seemed to have traveled through time and saw himself helpless when facing the seriously ill Pei Yuan a few years ago.

Fortunately, he has grown up now, and is no longer the little guy who couldn't do anything back then.

"Second." Pei Yuan's voice came suddenly, pulling Pei Ye back from his thoughts.

Pei Ye followed the prestige and saw Rong Niang and Pei Yuan walking towards him.

That day, Rongniang and Pei's father took Pei Yuan to the clinic for a follow-up visit. The boss? Fu checked Pei Yuan's pulse and found that his body was recovering very quickly.However, thinking about whether Pei Yuan's illness has lasted for many years, if he wants to be completely cured, he still needs to put in some thought, otherwise it is easy to get to the root of the disease.

Ji Ren Tang has a Zhuangzi outside the county seat. There is a medicine spring in the Zhuangzi, which is a very suitable place to recuperate.

Boss? Husband got Chi Jingyao's pills and always wanted to reciprocate, so he decided to arrange for Pei Yuan to go to the village to recuperate.

Unexpectedly, a heavy snowfall blocked people in the county town.

There was heavy snow on the road, and it was inconvenient for vehicles and horses to travel, so the boss? Husband left Pei Yuan to live in the hospital, thinking that when the snow stopped and the road recovered a bit, someone would send him to the village.

The medical center has limited space and can't accommodate more people? So Father Pei and Lao Qian went to the inn to stay temporarily.

Rong Niang stayed in the hospital to take care of Pei Yuan.

"What's wrong with Ah Yao?" Rong Niang asked worriedly.

Pei Ye stepped aside a little, and Rong Niang saw Chi Jingyao unconscious on the couch.

Just now when she heard from the buddy that Chi Jingyao was ill, she was really taken aback. Seeing Chi Jingyao lying there unconscious now, her heart ached even more, and even she couldn't help crying.

Fortunately, Pei Yuan was still sober. Seeing the calm expression on the boss's face, he knew that Chi Jingyao would probably be fine.On the contrary, Pei Ye drove Chi Jingyao all night with his back on his back. He was already at the end of his battle at the moment, and he didn't look too good?

"I'm here? Go drink a bowl of ginger soup and get a good night's sleep." Pei Yuan said to Pei Ye.

Pei Ye looked back at the little thing, finally nodded, and followed the guy in the medical center to the backyard.

"The fever is severe, but fortunately it was delivered in time. After a while, the old man will give him an injection to subdue the fever, and he will be fine for another two days." The boss? The husband said while taking Chi Jingyao's pulse .

Not long after, the clerk Xiao Fang came back again, holding a clean underwear in his hand.

Boss Husband glanced at Rong Niang, then at Pei Yuan, and said, "His clothes are soaked in sweat, who of you will wipe his body and change his clothes?"

"I? Come." Rong Niang hurriedly took the clothes handed over by the waiter.

Pei Principle withdrew and waited outside.

The old man opened the needle aside, and from time to time he secretly glanced at Rong Niang who was helping Chi Jingyao change his clothes, with a somewhat curious and probing expression on his expression.

The earth dragon was burned in the room, and it was still warm, but Rong Niang was still afraid of chilling Chi Jingyao, so she took off Chi Jingyao's shirt first, dipped a handkerchief in warm water and wiped Chi Jingyao's body.After she wiped Chi Jingyao's upper body and put on her clothes, and helped Chi Jingyao cover the quilt carefully, she carefully untied Chi Jingyao's pants.

Afterwards, Rong Niang's expression froze, and she froze on the spot for a while without moving.

The boss at the side? The husband raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and reminded him unintentionally: "Is it changed? The old man has to give him the needle as soon as possible."

"Okay...that's all right." Rong Niang hurriedly came to her senses, but the shock in her heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

Until she helped Chi Jingyao get dressed and covered the quilt, the surprise in her heart was still hard to fade away.

Isn't her Ah Yao a little girl? A baby?

Why turned around and turned into a boy?

Rong Niang couldn't figure it out, she just felt disturbed and at a loss.

"What's the matter, mother?" Seeing Rong Niang coming out of the room in a daze, Pei Yuan was a little worried, and asked, "Ah Yao, how is it?"

"No...it's nothing." Rong Niang forced a smile at Pei Yuan, feeling more and more complicated.

Although at the beginning, she had made an agreement with Pei Yuan, only to raise Chi Jingyao as a daughter by her side.

When Chi Jingyao grows up in the future, if he doesn't want to marry Pei Yuan, Pei Yuan can't force him either.

But Rong Niang was looking forward to Chi Jingyao in the future? If she could like Pei Yuan, then Chi Jingyao could still stay by her side instead of marrying someone else?

It's a pity that her A Yao is a boy, let alone Pei Yuan's "child bride", now even Pei Yuan's younger sister can't do it.

Inside the house, the boss gave Chi Jingyao an injection and gave Chi Jingyao another pill, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the unconscious little baby on the couch, feeling quite emotional for a moment.

Earlier, when he put his hand on Chi Jingyao's pulse, he knew that this little girl was a counterfeit.

I have to say that this little doll was born so beautifully that even he couldn't tell that it was a boy before.

But at that time, he didn't know about Chi Jingyao's situation, he thought it was Rong Niang and the others who deliberately raised Chi Jingyao as a girl.He has been a doctor for so many years, and he has seen many such things. There are some boys who are born weak, and they will be raised as girls, and they will not regain their boy status until they are more than ten years old.

He is a big doctor, and he doesn't really believe in these strange things, but if he encounters them, he won't expose them, for fear of criminals? Taboo.

Just now he secretly observed Rong Niang's reaction, just to confirm his guess, but he did not expect the result to be unexpected.

Rong Niang was obviously the same as him, and it was only at this moment that she realized that her "child bride" was a boy.

The boss? The husband was in a complicated mood at the moment, and couldn't help but worry a little about the situation of the little doll.

The Pei family has two sons, obviously there is no shortage of boys.

If she knew that this "child bride" was a fake, she might not want her right away.

The boss sighed, and couldn't help feeling sorry for the little doll.

He even thought to himself, if this little baby was really abandoned by the Pei family, he might be able to keep him by his side as a disciple.

The little doll is beautiful and likable, smart and well-behaved, judging from his generous behavior of donating medicine that day, he has great righteousness at such a young age, so he should be a person who can be cultivated.

Boss? Husband has practiced medicine all his life and has no children? Thinking about it like this really moved my heart.

Not to mention expecting Xiaowa to take care of him in retirement, at least he can pass on his mantle.

It's a pity that he had a good plan, but things were different from what he thought.

After he came out of the room, he saw that although Rong Niang was worried, she still couldn't hide her concern for Chi Jingyao.

"Let him take it easy. After the fever subsides, you can take him to your room and settle him down." The boss? Fu Chao said to Pei Yuan: "He is young, and he still needs someone around him to take care of him when he is sick. Relatively safe."

Pei Yuan responded hurriedly when he heard the words, and Rong Niang also breathed a sigh of relief.

This boss? The husband has superb medical skills. After giving Chi Jingyao the needle, Chi Jingyao's fever subsided in less than half an hour.

Pei Yuan wrapped Chi Jingyao in a quilt, and carried him into his room.He still doesn't know that Chi Jingyao is a boy, so he behaved to avoid suspicion. After putting him on the bed, he walked to the chair next to him and sat down.

"It's sunny today, but the snow on the road may not be able to melt for a while." Pei Yuan said: "If old Uncle Qian is not in a hurry to go back, he can wait until Ah Yao recovers from his illness." Walk."

Rong Niang responded, and said, "I'm going to see Pei Ye."

"Me? Let's go, mother, you are here to take care of Yao." Pei Yuan said.

Rong Niang thought for a while, and finally nodded.

After Pei Yuan left, Rong Niang moved to the side of the couch and sat down.

She stretched out her hand to touch Chi Jingyao's forehead, touched Chi Jingyao's neckline, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that Chi Jingyao was no longer sweating.

Rong Niang carefully looked at Chi Jingyao's flushed little face, and she still couldn't believe that the other party was a boy.

But she has calmed down a little now, and her mood is not as complicated as when she first learned about it.

Although her wish to raise a daughter is shattered, it is undeniable that she still likes Chi Jingyao from the bottom of her heart.

Rong Niang's liking for Chi Jingyao at first was partly because Chi Jingyao's arrival fulfilled her wish to have a daughter.But? After a long time, she has long regarded Chi Jingyao as her own child.Even now that she knows that Chi Jingyao is a boy, she still has no way not to like him.

"That's all." Rong Niang stretched out her hand to smooth out the broken hair on Chi Jingyao's forehead.

She secretly thought in her heart, a boy should be a boy.

the other side.

Pei Yuan went to see Pei Ye, who was probably tired and fast asleep.

Afraid of disturbing him, Pei Yuan sat in the room for a while and then came out.

The buddy Xiao Fang saw him and came over to say hello.

"Your younger brother looks at it? He's only eleven or twelve years old, right? He's serious about his personality." Xiao Fang said.

When he sent Pei Ye over to rest, he once asked Pei Ye if he was traveling in the middle of the night with a baby on his back, so he was not afraid of encountering wild animals?

Did Pei Ye hear the words? Didn't say much, just said that he brought a throwing knife.At the beginning, Xiao Fang only thought that he was brave enough to say that he brought a knife, until he saw with his own eyes that the two flying knives were actually sharpened, and it was obvious that the opponent often used the two knives.

Therefore, this young man's rushing through the night was not impulsive, he thought that he would encounter danger before setting off.

But? He still came, carrying the little doll in the back basket, stepping on the snow, and walked to the county town step by step.

"Thank you very much this time." Pei Yuan said to the guy.

"As a human? As a doctor, this is all your duty." Xiao Fang said again: "Thanks to your brother's decisiveness, if the little baby is delayed for another day or two, I am afraid that his brain will burn out."

Pei Yuan felt very uncomfortable when he heard this.

On the one hand, he was also a little scared, afraid that something might happen to Chi Jingyao, on the other hand, he felt sorry for Pei Ye.These years, although Pei Ye has not said anything, but Pei Yuan knows that the other party has always been brooding over his illness.

Pei Yuan was seriously ill back then. In fact, no one could be blamed? Not even Pei Yuan himself? He never blamed anyone.

But Pei Ye still couldn't let go of it, and always felt that his elder brother should not have such an illness.

Probably? Because of this, Pei Ye desperately wanted to send Chi Jingyao to the clinic.

This boy has finally grown up and has the ability to protect the people he wants to protect.

When Pei Yuan returned to the room, Rong Niang was wiping Chi Jingyao's face with a handkerchief.

Seeing him come back, Rong Niang put down her veil and asked in a low voice about Pei Ye's situation.

Knowing that Pei Ye was just tired and nothing unusual, she was relieved.

"Pei Yuan..." Rong Niang looked at Pei Yuan, and said, "Is there something I want to tell you?"

Pei Yuan felt that Rong Niang was a little abnormal today, but he was not surprised to hear that.

Rong Niang turned her head and glanced at Chi Jingyao who was on the couch, and dragged Pei Yuan out of the house.

The sun was just right outside, Rong Niang took a deep breath, and her mood also eased a lot.

"Mother wants to ask you, have you ever thought about...waiting? In the future, Ayao will grow up and marry her?" Rong Niang asked.

Pei Yuan was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Didn't it be agreed at the beginning that A Yao would be my younger sister?"

Rong Niang felt relieved when she heard the words, and asked again: "You haven't thought about anything else, have you?"

"Mother..." Pei Yuan said helplessly, "Ayao is only seven years old, what can I think?"

"That's good." Rong Niang stretched out her hand and pinched Pei Yuan's arm, and said: "My son was born handsome, and now he is in good shape, wait? If you grow older, you won't have to worry about finding a girl to like you." you."

Pei Yuan smiled when he heard the words, and asked, "Why are you talking about this today?"

"Hey." Rong Niang sighed and said, "I? Never? Didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Afterwards, Rong Niang told Pei Yuan about her discovery that Chi Jingyao was a boy.

Pei Yuan probably didn't expect his nominal "child bride" to be a boy, so he was so shocked that he didn't speak for a while.

"You blame me for this matter? At the beginning..." Rong Niang couldn't help sighing again, and said, "I? Really? I didn't expect Ayao to be a boy. He was born so beautiful, how could he be a boy?" Woolen cloth?"

Pei Yuan smiled wryly, "You also said that when Pei Ye was young."

Rong Niang has always wanted a daughter, but God failed her wish, and Pei Ye was born as a boy.

When he was young, Pei Ye was white and tender, and he was also very beautiful. On a whim, Rong Niang combed him a little braid that children usually comb, and also put flowers on it.Pei Ye was already sensible at that time, and when he took a picture in the bronze mirror, he was so angry that he never asked Rong Niang to comb his hair again.

At that time, Pei Yuan heard that Rong Niang secretly sighed, saying that Pei Ye is good-looking, why isn't she a girl? A doll?

Of course, what she said was mostly a joke, and she didn't mean to dislike Pei Ye at all, and she didn't dare to say this in front of Pei Ye.

No matter what, your own children are the best.

Even today's Chi Jingyao, is he a man or a woman? She doesn't care so much anymore.

"Ayao..." Pei Yuan thought for a while, then said, "Why are you pretending to be a girl?"

Rong Niang was startled when she heard this, obviously she had been struggling with the issue of Chi Jingyao being a boy before, and she didn't have time to think about the rest.

After being reminded by Pei Yuan, she realized the key to this matter.

If she misunderstood Chi Jingyao as a girl at the beginning, why didn't Chi Jingyao expose it afterwards?

"When I brought him back home, he was dressed as a girl." Rong Niang said, "So he definitely didn't try to cheat me by dressing up as a girl." After all, she put Chi Jingyao Picking it up? It was just a temporary decision.

Thinking about it carefully, since Chi Jingyao came to their house, he has been obedient and obedient, and has never caused any trouble.Not only that, but he also helped Pei Ye sell skins, and went up the mountain to pick up cicadas to exchange for Pei Yuan's consultation money... According to what the boss? Remote credit.

Rong Niang and Pei Yuanzai thought about it carefully, and they really couldn't find out the slightest bit of Chi Jingyao's fault.

There is no doubt that this child has treated them wholeheartedly since he entered their house.

Therefore, Chi Jingyao's concealment of his identity must not have any bad intentions.

Children's eyes are clean, and they can see through their sincerity at a glance.

It's just that they couldn't figure it out, Chi Jingyao was a boy, why did he pretend to be a girl?

"Hey!" At this moment, the old man's voice suddenly came from the corner of the corridor, "I was passing by and overheard your words, ashamed, ashamed."

"Master Cheng?" Pei Yuan hurriedly cupped his hands at the boss, husband, and said, "You speak too seriously."

This Doctor Cheng is very skilled in medicine, and Pei Yuan knew that since he had checked Chi Jingyao's pulse, he naturally knew that Chi Jingyao was a boy.

"The old man has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." Dr. Cheng said.

"Master Cheng? But it's okay to say." Pei Yuan said hastily.

Mrs. Cheng sighed, and said: "How many years have I been a senior? Mrs., what kind of things? I have seen it. This incident in your family is not unusual. The old man found out from the pulse of this little baby that he must have been seriously ill when he was young. The old man heard that if the boy was weak and sick when he was young, the family would name a girl and raise him as a girl, so as to avoid disaster To ward off evil spirits. When it is said that the envoys who seduce the soul come to collect people, if they are not on the right number and cannot find people, they will let them go."

Rong Niang was taken aback when she heard the words, she had heard this saying before.When Pei Yuan first fell ill, some relatives in the family suggested raising him as a girl, but that method is usually aimed at children who have been weak since childhood. Pei Yuan was already a grown-up child when he fell ill. Father Pei is not old? Believe in this, and the matter will naturally disappear.

"Although I'm an old man, I shouldn't believe this." Mr. Cheng glanced at Pei Yuan and Rong Niang, and said, "But your old man, who is so seriously ill, is I am very happy, so this kind of strange power, sometimes the old man would rather believe in its existence than in its non-existence."

After hearing the words, Rong Niang asked, "Master Cheng? What do you mean, A Yao is for avoiding disaster?"

"This old man? It's just a guess." Mr. Cheng said, "His pulse does show that he was weak when he was young, and he suffered from a life-threatening disease. As for how he was cured and lived to such an age, the old man will I don't know."

If this was said in the past, Rong Niang and Pei Yuan probably would not have believed it.

But after experiencing Pei Yuan's physical improvement, they somewhat believed it.

After all, Pei Yuan's health began to improve after Chi Jingyao came to their house.

If it wasn't because of "Chongxi", what else could it be?

"Master Cheng, is Ah Yao's body in serious trouble now?" Rong Niang asked nervously.

"It seems that there is no problem now." Cheng Da? The husband said: "I just don't know? Is it because this method of avoiding disasters has worked? I have practiced medicine for so many years, and there are countless diseases that cannot be cured. Many things? I can't say why. .”

Mr. Cheng's remark sounds a bit unusual, but apart from this reason, Rong Niang and Pei Yuan really can't think of any other reason.After all, Chi Jingyao is only a seven-year-old child, what can he understand?

Since he regards himself as a girl, it must be taught by his former family members, and probably told him not to tell others.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be bad for Ah Yao if we know about it?" Rong Niang asked Mr. Cheng.

"It's hard to say. Let's not mention this matter in front of him, just pretend not to know his identity." Mr. Cheng said, "To be on the safe side, the fewer people know about this matter The better, so as not to cause him a disease disaster. After he turns ten years old, if he is in good health, it won't be too late to talk about it at that time."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Cheng observed the expressions of the two of them, and said again: "If you only want girls and don't want to keep this little doll..."

"Whether Ah Yao is a boy or a girl, we won't let him go." Rong Niang said.

Master Cheng nodded upon hearing this, and said, "That's good."

"Mother." Pei Yuan comforted Rongniang after Mr. Cheng left, "According to what Mr. Cheng said, we will continue to raise A Yao as a girl in the future. He is only seven years old now." , how many years are there before the age of ten, and you will continue to raise him as your daughter in these few years, which can be regarded as fulfilling your wish." After all, according to Mrs. Cheng's intention, they The more you think of Chi Jingyao as a girl, the better it will be for Chi Jingyao.

Rong Niang couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, her mood was ups and downs today, and now she has nothing else to think about, she just hopes that the three children will be well.

As for other things, she didn't dare to ask for more.

"Let's pretend we don't know about this matter, and don't mention it to your father and Pei Ye." Rong Niang told Pei Yuan, "If there are too many people who know about it and something happens to A Yao, then it's terrible." ? That's troublesome."

Pei Yuan nodded when he heard the words, and said nothing more.

His thoughts were not as simple as Rong Niang's, and he had some doubts about this matter.

But since he was convinced that Chi Jingyao's concealment was not out of malicious intent, and he also didn't really care whether he had an extra brother or sister, so for the time being, he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, lest it would be self-defeating and make things more complicated .

Chi Jingyao didn't wake up until dusk.

Before he even opened his eyes, he felt very hungry, and he was woken up by starvation.

"Ayao, are you awake?" Seeing that he had woken up, Rong Niang rushed forward to check.

Chi Jingyao propped himself up, and then found that the place where he was lying was not Pei's house.

"You are sick and have slept all day. This is a medical clinic." Rong Niang said.

It was only then that Chi Jingyao realized that he thought to himself, hadn't he taken medicine?How could he be so sick that he passed out? He didn't even know how he came to the hospital.

"Are you hungry?" Rong Niang asked warmly.

"En." Chi Jingyao nodded, and his stomach growled at the right time.

Rong Niang took the robe and put it on him, and said: "You wait in the house, it's cold outside, don't go out. I'll go and get you some porridge." She got up and walked out of the room while talking. Carefully cover the door?

Chi Jingyao sat on the bed for a while and then put on his outer robe.

But soon, he discovered something was wrong.

The baggy clothes on him were clearly not his own.

And his original middle-aged clothes have long since disappeared...

Chi Jingyao: ...

Someone? Helped him change his clothes when he was unconscious!

Who is it?

Pei Ye, or Rong Niang?

or someone else??

In Chi Jingyao's heart, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and apprehensive after a lie was exposed.

Although he has no malice in concealing his gender, it is always an act of deceit.

He was thinking to wait? Pei Yuan recovered from his illness, so he will confess this matter at a suitable time.

Never expected that a sudden illness would lead to such an accident.

Just when Chi Jingyao was feeling uneasy, Rong Niang came in with a bowl of porridge.

Chi Jingyao observed the other party's expression, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak?

"The temperature is just right." Rong Niang tried the temperature of the porridge, then sat on the side of the couch, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Chi Jingyao's lips.

Chi Jingyao subconsciously opened his mouth to take a sip of the porridge, and felt the rice fragrance slowly spread between his lips and teeth, which instantly awakened his sense of taste.

"Aunt..." Chi Jingyao looked at Rong Niang, and asked cautiously, "Who helped me? Changed clothes?"

With a gentle smile between Rong Niang's eyebrows, she scooped up another spoonful of porridge and brought it to Chi Jingyao's lips, while she said casually: "Mr. Cheng from the medical center changed it when you gave the needle."

Chi Jingyao was taken aback, then heaved a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Did he not say anything?"

"He said that you have caught a cold this time, and you need to take care of it for a few days." Rong Niang said.

Chi Jingyao saw that there was no blame or anger in Rong Niang's eyes, only full of concern and distress, and he was completely relieved, knowing that Dr. Cheng did not reveal his secret in front of the other party.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Rong Niang asked warmly.

Chi Jingyao shook his head, feeling an inexplicable warmth in his heart.

When people are sick, their emotions are easy to fluctuate. Chi Jingyao was guilty and anxious just now, but now that Rong Niang cares about him, all his emotions turn into moving.

"Open your mouth." Rong Niang said warmly, "The porridge will be cold in a while."

Chi Jingyao felt his nose sore, and his eyes turned red instantly.During these days, he never really regarded himself as a child, but at this moment, for some unknown reason, facing Rong Niang, he felt a long-lost urge to cry loudly.

He was afraid that he would cry in the next moment, so he hurriedly took the bowl from Rongniang's hand, and silently drank the bowl of porridge.

Seeing his red-rimmed eyes, Rong Niang was so distressed that her eyes also turned red.

Chi Jingyao finished his porridge, held back his emotions and sniffed.

Rong Niang rubbed his head, and said: "His hair is messed up, let me comb it for you."

Chi Jingyao got dressed and sat up, letting Rongniang play with his hair.

"By the way." Chi Jingyao suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Didn't the mule cart come back with such heavy snow? Didn't I go? Why did I come to the medical clinic?"

Rong Niang froze, and said, "Your second brother brought you here."

"Bring me here?" Chi Jingyao asked, "How did you bring it?"

"Use a back basket." Rong Niang said.

Chi Jingyao's heart froze, and he suddenly remembered the dream he had when he was unconscious.

He walked the way to the county seat more than once.

He couldn't imagine how Pei Ye walked to the clinic step by step through the snow behind his back.

"Second Brother..." Chi Jingyao's voice choked up, and he asked, "Where is Second Brother?"

Rong Niang said: "I slept longer than you, and I haven't woken up yet."

Chi Jingyao sniffed and said, "Can I go and see him?"

Rong Niang nodded, helped Chi Jingyao comb his hair and put on his clothes before leading him out.

Pei Ye slept all day.

I didn't wake up until nightfall.

"Second brother..." Before he opened his eyes, he heard the little thing calling him.

Pei Ye turned his head to look over, and saw that the little thing's eyes were a little red. I don't know? It's because the fever hasn't subsided, or what's the matter?
