22. always...

YuTang took the thermometer from her hand and swiftly raised the top of his pyjama.

He hadn't been taking care of his meals lately and he was a bit thinner, but the amount of effort he put to have an adonis body was finally showing off its rewards.

His thin waist had compact muscles that looked to be carved by the greatest of the sculptors and the sexy belly button that still had some moisture left looked made a certain someone salivate...

'God! If you are there.. hmm, no! Mother, if you are hearing my words.... I am grateful to you for giving birth to me... thanks to you, I survived till this day to see such blinding sight. Thank you, ma!!', she spoke as she reflexively raised her hands to cover her mouth, she wouldn't want him to think of her as creepy so soon, he will have to know everything about her... but it will be a gradual process, for now, let's enjoy the lavish lunch.

GIKU

It was the sound of a certain pervert gulping their own saliva as YuTang raised his short enough to show his chest and pectoral muscles... and then she saw him stick that thermometer into his armpit.

ChunHua anticipated him to look up to her now, but she wasn't sure what kind of look she had now, it probably wasn't sightly so, she turned around and spoke in a high voice to hide her hoarseness, " I am going to take care of my poison, I'll be back in a minute..", saying this she sped towards the kitchen.

YuTang was getting used to it and just smiled at her back, but just then he spoke a little louder, "I'll have some of that soup, jiejie".... though she had seen her action after she drank it, it has been a while since he ate something that was made for him, he wanted to try it...

No reply came back to him, he had a confused look in his eyes, just when he was about to get up...

ChunHua came running from inside the kitchen with an enlightened look and the pot that had the 'soup' in her hand.

A moment ago, ChunHua had stiffened and almost ran out to hug him when he said he wanted to have the soup, but she couldn't both because the boy was just getting over his past and also that, the soup was a 'legendary' creation while he was her 'baby' Tangtang... the route wasn't a 'happy ending' one.

She toughened herself and sighed, she had been waiting for more than three-fourth of her life for him, another year or so, wasn't hard, but still, the sad arc on her beautiful lips told the suffering she had gone through to survive these... her back looked really lonely.

.....

Her steps took her to the pot and she also remembered that the one minute was over, she belatedly threw the 'soup' into the sink and the next moment she had run out of the kitchen....

"Tangtang, it wasn't liquid poison!! It has crystallised!", she took out the burnt char of soup that had thickened and indeed hardened... so basically, the upper half was still liquid while the lower half... in a way, to be able to do something of this sort, also required a great deal of 'talent'.

It seems that she was also a bit proud of her finding, "Do you think I'll make a lot from seeling this stuff? As for your request... Are you stupid? Do you want to kill your taste buds? Are my taste buds a joke to you? This thing could rival the greatest of poisons from a mythical witch and you want to drink it?", she went close to him and started knocking on his forehead, " Have you lost some screw, Baby Yu, who got a cold from roaming out in thin clothes? Did your fever fry your brain cells? Eh?"

The continuous barrage of the questions made YuTang's mind go blank and dizzy at the same time... he wasn't even sure what to respond to? Or, even if he was allowed to respond? Won't she just continue the 'Baby Yu' joke again and so, the big baby Yu zipped his mouth into a small pout as he took out the thermometer from his armpit... for the record, he didn't ask her why she didn't have the newest version of infrared thermometers but was carrying these older versions considering the high-end amenities she was using, but he chose not to ask, he didn't want to fall into her pace again.

Well, if he had asked, the answer would be a beautiful grin from her, as for the real reason, well, it has already been shown.

ChunHua saw him close his mouth and looked to be slightly sulking, she had a triumphant smile, of course not because she had won the battle of glib, but that him sulking in front of her showed that he was genuinely relaxing around her, she was kind of proud of her achievement in a single day!

She saw the temperature, "It is 36.9 degree Celsius... hmmm", she had brooding look, before saying, "Tangtang, let's wait for tomorrow, if nothing shows up, we won't need to go to the doctor then...", she saw the relieved face of YuTang after she said that and couldn't help but smile.

The Little Bun was still scared of hospitals it seems...

She has been very scared that many things must have changed within him, after all, the reports she got showed that he was very different from the willful but sensible Little Bun she knew, according to those reports, he was someone who was mature, gentle and patient... but it seems, the core has not changed.

No matter what he had become, she will just give him all her love and get to know him again, as long as it was him, she didn't mind anything... he will always be her cute Little Bun.
