Chapter 65

Ch65 – Stewed Pork Ribs

It was the first time for Ruan Yu to taste natural food. The mouthful of the rich chicken soup quickly went down his throat, and a warm and velvety sensation remained on his tongue. He couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. "Brother, what is this?"

"This is chicken soup. Brother cooked it especially for you. It's good for your body." He smiled and asked, "Xiao Yu, do you like it?"

"I like it!" He ate the delicious chicken soup and Ruan Yu felt his entire body warm up. His eyes curved into adorable crescents.

Ruan Tang specially cooked the chicken meat until it was extremely tender, but fearing that Ruan Yu's stomach would be too weak to digest it, Ruan Tang didn't dare feed him too much. Only after Ruan Yu pleaded with him did he give him two pieces.

After feeding the child half the bowl of soup, Ruan Tang stopped.

"Brother, I still want to eat some more…" Ruan Yu pouted pitifully, his cheeks bulging slightly.

"No, you can't eat too much in one go." Ruan Tang stroked the child's stomach. He was too thin, and only skin and bones were left on his body, so that his bulging belly became very obvious. "Behave. Brother will give you even more delicious soup tomorrow."

"Okay." Although he was disappointed, Ruan Yu still nodded obediently. He soon noticed another preservation box. "What's in there, Brother?"

"It's my dinner."

Ruan Yu wondered: "Is Brother's dinner different from mine?"

"Because Ruan Yu's body isn't well right now, you can't eat solid food. So you can only drink soup." He explained patiently to him.

Ruan Yu nodded, then said: "Then, Brother, go eat."

"Alright."

The child's well-behaved and sensible look made Ruan Tang's heart melt. He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

The scent of the scallion chicken spread in an instant. The child couldn't help but have his mouth water.

Ruan Tang felt that it was too cruel to just make the child watch him eat. So he turned on his light brain and set it to sharing mode. He then logged in to the live platform and opened several recorded videos of his own cooking.

Unfortunately, holographic mode couldn't be shared, otherwise the child could have a taste of the dishes. Since he can't eat it anyway, it won't cause a burden on his body.

The child was completely entranced by the beautiful food on the screen. His eyes twinkled with an adoring light. He felt that his brother was extremely amazing, almost to the point of being omnipotent.

"Brother! You're so amazing! You can make so many delicious dishes!"

Ruan Yu seemed very reluctant to let him leave, even the rim of his eyes had instantly turned red. He looked as though he were about to cry but he tried his best to hold it in and in a pleading voice said, "Can brother come back tomorrow?"

"Yes, and when Xiao Yu is better, you can leave the hospital and live with me."

The child's soft look was really lovable. Ruan Tang couldn't help but ruffle his hair, stroke his little face and kiss him on his forehead. "Now be good, Xiao Yu and wait for me to come back tomorrow."

"En…" Ruan Yu closed his eyes nervously, and dared not look at him. His fair and delicate face flushed red, and the corner of his mouth could not help ticking up. "I, I will wait for my brother!"

Ruan Tang closed the light brain, and after covering him with the blanket, Ruan Tang took the preservation boxes that he brought and left the ward. The child who had eaten his fill and was in a happy mood quickly slipped into dreamland.

He Yun Chen had been waiting outside all this time. He came forward when he saw Ruan Tang come out.

When Ruan Tang didn't see Wang Kun's figure beside him, he asked, "Uncle Kun? He won't be going back?"

"He and Zhang Peng went to deal with the prosecution. We'll be going back by ourselves." The video of the interview with Ruan Tang's previous neighbors, the visitation records collected from the hospital, as well as the testimony of the doctors and nurses, were all important evidence for the lawsuit they were bringing against Cai Xin. After Wang Kun and Zhang Peng have sorted out the evidence, they will give it to Zhou Jing so that they could settle this problem as soon as possible. He won't let that selfish woman meddle in Ruan Tang and Ruan Yu's life any longer.

"Okay." Ruan Tang nodded. He then noticed that He Yun Chen's expression was a little strange. He asked curiously, "Chen Ge, what's the matter? Was dinner not to your liking?"

He Yun Chen shook his head. "No, it was delicious."

Ruan Tang didn't think much about it, and instead asked, "Chen Ge, is there any place here to buy a light brain?"

"There is. Why do you want to buy a light brain?"

Ruan Tang said, "I want to buy a light brain for Xiao Yu." The child had no sense of security. With a light brain, even when Ruan Tang wasn't around, Ruan Yu won't feel lonely and he could contact Ruan Tang through the light brain at any time. He could even watch his broadcasts and taste food that he has never eaten before.

"Alright, we will go buy it tomorrow morning." Although the consumption level of the 19th star is not high, with most people only using cheap communicators, but after all, there were still some rich people here, so there were also light brains for sale.

"Okay." Ruan Tang smiled at him and told him sincerely, "Chen Ge, you're such a good person."

He Yun Chen's ears suddenly turned red again.

The two returned to the rented house and after cleaning up a bit went to their rooms to rest.

After a good night's sleep…

The next morning, Ruan Tang got up early in the morning and made a pot of chicken congee. He ate it with He Yun Chen, and took a small bowl to bring to the hospital for Ruan Yu. The rest was left for Wang Kun and Zhang Peng.

The two went to the hospital first. Ruan Yu had already woken up, and Dr. Tang was giving him a physical examination. When he saw Ruan Tang and He Yun Chen, he nodded to them.

"Doctor, how is Xiao Yu's condition?" Ruan Tang waited for Dr. Tang to finish his check up and exit the ward before asking him.

"The gravity-free ward is very suitable for him to recuperate in. All his indicators have improved. It is a good trend. Stay with him and keep him happy, it's good for his recovery."

After listening to Dr. Tang's words, he finally felt a little relieved. He solemnly nodded, "I will."

"You…" After talking about Ruan Yu's condition, Dr. Tang made as if to say something before stopping.

"Yes?"

"I heard that you are a food anchor? Did you cook for Xiao Yu?" Ever since he entered the ward, Dr. Tang had been forced to listen to Xiao Yu talk about how very very amazing his brother was and how very very delicious his cooking was. So, he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, is there any problem?"

"No… I think Ruan Yu is doing better than before and he's more energetic. The food you make seems to be more effective than the nutrient solution."

"That's good!" Ruan Tang's face revealed a happy expression. Nutrition from natural food was as expected, very effective. Since it's good for Ruan Yu, he will be more attentive in preparing his food in the future.

Back in the ward, Ruan Tang found that He Yun Chen had begun to feed Ruan Yu the congee. He Yun Chen's face, which rarely showed any expression, had on a rare gentle expression. He was extremely patient and was also conversing with Ruan Yu. However, their topic circled around himself, which was quite embarassing for Ruan Tang.

"Chen Ge, should we switch?" Ruan Tang asked with a smile.

"En." He Yun Chen got up and made way for Ruan Tang.

The chicken congee had been simmered for a long time. The chicken was cooked until it was very tender. The congee had absorbed all the umami from the chicken. It was thick, soft and melts in the mouth. It tasted so good there were no words to describe it. Ruan Yu ate it with particular relish, he was brimming with happiness.

After eating, the nurse pushed in a medical cabin for Ruan Yu's treatment. Ruan Yu obediently let the nurse carry him into the cabin. He was obviously very accustomed to this. This time, however, the medical cabin was filled with a therapeutic agent that was very beneficial to Ruan Yu's recuperation, rather than just a life-sustaining nutrient solution.

Ruan Yu would need to undergo this kind of treatment twice a day, each time for three hours. After one to two weeks later, the wounds on his body will finish healing.

While Ruan Yu was being treated, Ruan Tang left the hospital with He Yun Chen to buy a light brain. The light brain had many functions, and it was very fast, so the price is quite expensive. One set would cost 100,000 GM coins, which was almost 20 times that of a normal communicator. But it was worth the money, so Ruan Tang very readily handed over the money.

After buying the light brain, Ruan Tang went back to the house and prepared to make lunch. Yesterday he had promised the audience that he would resume the live broadcast today. So Ruan Tang was going to make two dishes and one soup today — saucy ribs, garlic Chinese spinach, and bone broth soup. China paid a lot of attention the ability of food to heal the body. Ruan Yu was very weak, his bones could easily fracture. He probably needed more collagen and calcium.

"Hello everyone, I am the anchor, Ruan Tang and today I will be bring you saucy ribs and bone broth soup.

[Miao Miao loves to eat all the dishes of the anchor: Wah! I suddenly cried out in surprise. Anchor, we were waiting for you so long, all the flowers have wilted.]

[Can't stop hugging trees: The anchor is on the air! I'm so touched, I'm crying! I haven't eaten well for three days. Without the anchor, I can't even drink the nutrient solutions anymore! ]

[Mr. Grass: You're back! long live the anchor! long live! ]

[Xuanyuan Zilong: Anchor, you need to make it up to us! ]

[Little Swallows fly: Yes, that's right! A little more lottery prizes…]

Ruan Tang was embarrassed to say, "I'll have to disappoint everyone. I am now back on the 19th planet and I've found my brother. It is too remote here. The interstellar express delivery here isn't as developed as the capital star's. I'm afraid I can't have a lottery for everyone like I do in the capital. After I return to the capital star, I will definitely make it up to everyone."

He Yun Chen said that Zhou Jing had filed a lawsuit against Cai Xin today. The court has already accepted the case and the evidence has been collected. She was now under protection and she won't be given a chance to harm herself in an attempt to delay her court hearings. They have gone through a special channel, and they could already go to court the day after tomorrow, so they no longer had to continue to hide their whereabouts. Anyway, it was too late for Cai Xin to mend the pen after the sheep have been lost.

[The loveliest flower: So that's how it is! No wonder the kitchen seems to have changed. ]

[Tang Tang Tang Tang Tang: Oh! Your younger brother is important. Anchor, look after your younger brother well! ]

[Bubble Bubbles: Wow, the anchor has gone home! How is your brother? ]

[Hengjia songs: I want to see the anchor's brother. He might turn out to be another kitchen god! ]

[Love life love Tang Tang: He might also be another film emperor [doge]]

The viewers were very understanding. They had seen photos of his younger brother lying in the medical cabin on Weibo. They knew that his body was very weak, so they were very concerned about Ruan Yu's condition.

"Little Yu is being treated, and when his situation has stabilized. I will take him back to the hospital in the Capital Star to continue treatment." Ruan Tang did not stay on this topic for too long. After explaining the situation to the audience, he immediately started cooking.
