21 21. baby...

But before he delved into that darkness, he suddenly had a strange idea, the thought that crossed his mind was, 'what would she have done in my place?'

Strangely, he felt a little bit stronger. He looked at her and thought, 'there is no 'if', she came and gave me a second chance, she gave me another life. So, this time... I will live for myself and for her, it doesn't matter what she would have done in his position, she probably would never think like himself in the first position! She will most likely curse the whole universe than go into depression, yes, she was strong unlike her, she enjoyed and lived in the present, learned from her past and waited with glee for a mysterious future. So, he will do the same. The second life he gave her, he didn't want to live it like this. He also wanted to live to the fullest... and so, he will do it."

Just when he had got himself a better outlook for the future, he heard her say, "Mr National Treasure, it really suits you. I wonder if it is because you will also be a treasure for the nation in the future..", very naturally, she raised her hand and stretched his cheeks a bit, they were not as soft and chubby as she remembered, but there was still a novelty in doing this action on a grown-up man... "hehe", she gave him a weird grin.

The man who had just thought so greatly of her, ".....", his face flushed again and those dark thoughts flew away leaving a little stronger version of him behind.

Anyway, after she had played enough with his cheeks, she went closer towards the burnt thing she called soup and her usual bubbly tone, turned into an eerie one, " Well, at least it started as a soup... now it looks like a witch's potion", still, like a good child, she scooped a little out of it and tasted it, only to push YuTang, who was blushing and controlling his laugh from leaking out at the same time after he heard her speak like that, and immediately spat everything out into the sink and cleaned her mouth with the liquid mouth was placed to the side, it being here, showed that she was used to doing this in the kitchen~

After she spat everything out and cleaned her mouth with clear water again, she got rid of that smell and taste and turned towards him, "Do you know?", she started with a serious tone, but--

"I think buying poison from the store and leaving some sort of evidence behind to kill someone is a very shitty idea."

YuTang was again unable to understand why her topic changed from cooking to poison, but he still listened to her like a good child only for her to say--

"They should just give me that damn money and I'll make this fucking soup, it's better than poison and you can pass it off as food poisoning. I am not involved in the black market.. or, I'd really sell this at a sky-high price!" When she said this, she was very serious about it and so, YuTang felt like he will get internal bleeding from holding back his laughter, 'I can't laugh', he was chanting this inside his head.

ChunHua gave him a serious look, as if, to get that annoyance out, she again stretched his cheek, it actually made her smile and YuTang who was fully used just laughed, even though she was doing such a childish act and was kind of intimate, he felt it to be natural and so, when he saw her smile afterwards, he too gave her a beautiful smile...

He had a small wish, he wanted such simple but beautiful moments to last forever....

ChuHua was not among those people, who didn't taste the food they cooked and gave it others and also hoped for the other to compliment them, she was practical and that's why, her number of tries hadn't crossed an astronomical number, well, at times, they were used for punishment games, but that's the story for another day.

She walked towards the lounge area in the middle and took the first-aid kit, that also had the thermometer and called for him, "oi.. TangTang... Baby Yu, who got a fever from roaming outside in thin clothes... come out!", even though she was stating true facts, no maybe because she was saying the truth, it felt like sarcasm to the 'Baby Yu' who had just come out of the kitchen.

But because he was at fault, he couldn't even retort back, "...sorry", that was all he could mutter.

ChunHua saw her Little Bun standing with his head down and a slight pout on his lips, plus the cute pyjama he was wearing, increased his charm so high that, she almost felt guilty about chiding him...as a thought crossed her mind, 'he really hadn't changed, even as a child, if he knew that he was at fault, he never threw a tantrum... her Little Bun was really the cutest thing in the world.'

"hahaha... just kidding.. just kidding, come... come", she patted on the area beside her, "let's take your temperature first. I won't want to you to catch a cold, Mr National Treasure~"

YuTang took small steps towards her.

ChunHua, who saw the big baby panda acting gloomy: 'What? Do you want me to cuddle you, you cute little Bun? Want me to lock you inside this house and pamper you to death? What...hm? Just tell me! Don't act like this. The damage is too high!!!" Her face was eerily expressionless thinking like this, but when YuTang looked up to get a sneak peek, to know if she was not angry anymore, she gave him a comforting smile; just that, when she saw him act like that, inside she was shouting, [GAWD!!! He is so cute!!! Aiyo~ Let me have this BABY forever. I'll raise him. KYAAAAAAAHHHHH~ He IS SHOOOO CUTE~], as for her face, it still had the same comforting smile, well, the grip of her hand on the thermometer was so strong that her knuckles were turning white, but her smile was impeccable.

She had studied hard to not act suspiciously in front of her, it was her lessons doing their charm~
