My Son is a Transmigrated Prince

31-35

Rong Ting nodded with a grim expression. "Gu understands. The enemy is not only domineering, but also powerful."

Rong Ting originally wasn't all that interested in Christmas. But after a day of eating hot pot with Empress Mother and his grandfather and grandmother; going out again in the afternoon to watch a movie; watching businesses have people dressed as Santa give out presents, and seeing Empress Mother become even happier than him when he received a gift, he felt that this holiday with dubious origins wasn't so bad.

Perhaps people just needed a pretext to have a meal with the people they loved.

On Sunday, Song Yuan took Rong Ting out to the bakery to buy cake. When they passed by the bus stop, she couldn't resist looking over, but she didn't see that white-haired handsome ge. She didn't see him at the bakery, either. She couldn't tell if the emotion she was feeling was disappointment.

But Rong Ting was keenly observant. He tugged on her hand and asked in a low voice, "Is Empress Mother looking for someone?"

Song Yuan was startled. Rong Ting's question made her realize. Was she actually looking for him? But they had only met a few times.

"No, no!" Song Yuan decisively shook her head.

Rong Ting carefully measured her up.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"No reason. It's just that gu feels that Empress Mother is acting a bit strange today."

If Gugu found out that she was unconsciously looking for a man, he would roll his eyes and ask her with a stern expression how she could behave in that manner when she was the empress and the mother of a nation.

Song Yuan shook off the thoughts that she shouldn't be having and pointed to a display case to shift Rong Ting's attention. "Come pick. Do you want strawberry cake or chocolate cake? You can only choose one."

As planned, Rong Ting's attention was easily diverted. He came over to the display case and looked at the beautiful cakes, sinking into an agonizing dilemma.

Song Yuan was supposed to go to work on Monday, but she remembered she had someone important to do, so she asked her supervisor for a half-day off.

She had seen some mothers complaining on the owners' group chat, saying that recently there was a wave of influenza cases. They didn't dare to take their children out to play, lest they accidentally catch it.

Song Yuan came to a sudden realization. It had been several months! She had actually forgotten to take Rong Ting to get his vaccines!

Although she had never been a mother before, she had heard from colleagues that children had to receive some vaccines at one's own expense on top of the ones received for free. It would be difficult to go to school without them.

Rong Ting had been living in ancient times in the past; he definitely wouldn't have received any vaccines.

Fortunately, he already had his residence registration, and it wasn't difficult to get his vaccinations, but he had already lost at the starting line. She heard that most babies nowadays were vaccinated when they were born.

"Vaccination?" Rong Ting was clearly unfamiliar with this term.

Song Yuan nodded her head, serious. "It's my fault. I can't believe I forgot. We're going to go get the flu vaccine today. Nowadays, many children are getting the flu. Although getting the vaccine doesn't protect you fully, I'll feel more reassured if you have it."

Rong Ting didn't have any objections. "Oh, alright then."

If Empress Mother could rest assured, then he would get vaccinated. But what was a vaccine?
