Zhao Yan himself has a very good relationship with doctor Zhou. Before Bai Chen came, their friendship was already so good despite the age difference. After Bai Chen came, they became father and son-in-law. Therefore, for this cart-full return ceremony, Zhao Yan has spent a lot of time thinking.
In the cart are some rare medicinal herbs that he found, there's also some medicinal seeds and many varieties of precious flowers. Of course, there are clothes and fish too. There are also a lot of necessary things such as eggs. In general, the cart was full of a large amount of things.
When doctor Zhou saw these carefully prepared things, the corners of his mouth were stretched wide and his eyes squinted into slits as he laughed happily, but his mouth said insincerely: "I am alone, how can I use so much! You are not alone now, you have to know how to manage your life. If you have money, don't spend it indiscriminately."
Although his mouth was reprimanding them, everyone could see that he was in a good mood.
He's also an old man, now his son and son-in-law are so attentive to him, his heart was naturally overjoyed. His smile bloomed like a flower on his face.
He babbled a lot of words before looking up and down Bai Chen after marriage. Seeing Bai Chen's ruddy face, from his glow, he was obviously well nourished.
He continued to observe, nodding in satisfaction.
The three of them enthusiastically pushed the cart into the yard. It's too late to unpack and organize the things so they were pulled aside by doctor Zhou to sit aside.
Bi Qing came out with the brewed tea from the room and placed it in the middle of the three. She greeted them before going back to the kitchen to bring out the cakes that were prepared early in the morning.
Doctor Zhou sat down and checked Bai Chen's pulse for him. He frowned silently for a while, then he glared at Zhao Yan angrily: "You kid. Now the meat is here, just take it easy. Mian ge'er condition has not fully healed yet, he can't stand your toss."
Zhao Yan frowned.
On the other hand, Bai Chen lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
He was not obedient.
Before getting married, doctor Zhou has reminded Zhao Yan in this regard. So these days, except for the wedding night, Zhao Yan has always been restraining himself when it comes to intercourse. Doctor Zhou would never have thought that the one who couldn't control himself would be Bai Chen, who was 'weak', hence the misunderstanding today.
Since he came to this world, Bai Chen had been abstinent for several months. Now get to eat meat, he just wanted to make up for the loss from the past few months. In addition, Bai Chen felt comfortable doing that with Zhao Yan, he couldn't wait to be with Zhao Yan all day long. His entanglement with Zhao Yan made him almost couldn't restrain himself.
Bai Chen's ability to act coyly to Zhao Yan is innate. In addition, Zhao Yan is also eager to eat Bai Chen. Once or twice, Zhao Yan compromised several times. He never thought that today he would be reprimanded by doctor Zhou.
"Mian ge'er malnourished started from an early age, it will take a few years for him to recover. Now you are so foolish, how long will his body last?" Doctor Zhou blows his beard, glaring at him so hard that his eyes are not eyes and his nose is not nose anymore1.
Zhao Yan silently accepted this black pot, and asked, worried: "Is baby alright now?"
Seeing Zhao Yan like this, doctor Zhou's temper turned better: "He's alright. He just needs to make up for it these days. Just, you guys have to take it easy in the future, like once every 3 or 4 days."
Bai Chen was stunned. Once every 3 or 4 days?
So little?
He puffed out his mouth, a little unhappy.
He stretched out his hand, pulling doctor Zhou's sleeves.
Doctor Zhou's stinky look for Zhao Yan suddenly changed into a smile. Seeing Bai Chen pouting unhappily, his face immediately dropped: "What happened, child? Did that kid Zhao bullied you?"
Saying this, he glared at Zhao Yan again.
"Dad, I am in good health."
Doctor Zhou thought that Bai Chen was comforting him, so he coax him with a smile: "Of course, my Mian ge'er will live a hundred years in the future with no illness."
"It doesn't need to be every 3 or 4 days." Bai Chen argues, saying very candidly, there's no shyness that a ge'er usually has: "That's too little."
The smile on doctor Zhou's face froze.
Bai Chen continues: "I am very comfortable and happy with Zhao Yan everyday. I don't think it's too much."
His expression and words were very serious, taking more care to protect his rights.
As for doctor Zhou...
He was expressionless.
He sat there stiffly, as if he was struck by lightning.
Living with Bai Chen for a while, doctor Zhou also knew that Bai Chen was a sincere and serious child. It's just that he didn't expect Bai Chen to be so sincere and serious. Even when talking about things in the room that make girls and ge'er shy, he wasn't even one bit shy. He was even more frank than him, a doctor.
Facing such a Bai Chen, doctor Zhou was speechless for a while.
He was quickly brought back to his senses from being shaken by Bai Chen, then he pointed at the innocent Zhao Yan: "You bastard, Mian ge'er is very simple so you fool him like this to satisfy your selfish desires?"
He was fuming while reprimanding Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan knew that doctor Zhou was reluctant to yell at Bai Chen so he was unreasonably charged with the crime.
He said nothing, silently accepting such a reprimand, while also taking the dessert made by Bi Qing and feeding Bai Chen.
Bai Chen loves these desserts and snacks, but Zhao Yan's skills in making desserts is only average. Compared with Bi Qing's exquisite craftsmanship, his craftsmanship was like dirt.
Bi Qing has been taking care of doctor Zhou these days. Bai Chen once again instructed her to not disturbed so even if she made dessert, she didn't send it. Bai Chen hadn't eaten it for a few days, so he was craving it.
Bai Chen saw that doctor Zhou was still reprimanding Zhao Yan, so he wanted to speak up for Zhao Yan, but he was fed dessert by Zhao Yan so his rebuttal was indistinguishable.
Doctor Zhou is not unreasonable either. After saying a few words to Zhao Yan, he stopped. It's just that he was still reminding them that Bai Chen's health has not fully recovered yet, so they shouldn't mess around.
These are all for Bai Chen's health so Zhao Yan responded seriously.
When doctor Zhou saw that Bai Chen doesn't seem to be shy, he also simply explained the precautions that he originally planned to tell Zhao Yan privately. There are also places that ge'er needs to pay attention to afterwards. Ge'er wasn't all that different from girls, that place also needs to be cared for.
It's about Bai Chen so Zhao Yan listened very carefully.
Bai Chen, who is still struggling to eat the snacks fed by Zhao Yan, was still very distressed about the once every 3 or 4 days.
In the final analysis, Mian ge'er body is just too weak. The system can't break the rules for him and heal his body all at once too.
Bai Chen's eyes swept the yard to the herbs. His eyes moved, there's a way.
Zhao Yan spoiled Bai Chen, even on the return day, he still cooks it himself. He cooked dongpo pork, which Bai Chen loved to eat, spicy rabbits head, braised fish, auspicious ruyi rolls, stews red jujube black chicken soup, and of course he didn't let doctor Zhou out, there's also doctor Zhou favorite crispy duck. The steamed minced pork and eggs were also cooked one by one.
Doctor Zhou is particularly satisfied with what he eats. After dinner, he took Bai Chen to play chess to digest the food. Zhao Yan, on the other hand, worked tirelessly with Bi Qing to sort out the gifts on the cart in the yard.
After the two had dinner, they went back home together.
When they come back, Zhao Yan heats up some water for Bai Chen to take a bath. Bai Chen is squeamish, except for when he just came to this world and couldn't take a bath, later when Zhao Yan took him to doctor Zhou's house, even with his ankle hurt, he took a bath everyday.
The two sat in the large bathtub specially made by Zhao Yan. Bai Chen sat on Zhao Yan's without anything, lying softly in Zhao Yan's arms, letting Zhao Yan help him wash.
Bai Chen's skin is becoming more delicate day by day. His limbs were warm and tender, which made people not want to let go. His fair skin still had traces of their mischief last night. The wisps of red fell on Bai Chen's jade-like skin, it's like a beautiful red plum blooming amidst the snow.
Zhao Yan is a man with strong blood and qi. It hasn't been long since he started eating meat so he was very hungry. In addition, Bai Chen is the person he puts on the peak of his heart. Every second is just like a single pillar supporting the sky2, it's completely out of his control.
Thinking of Bai Chen's weak body and all kinds of cautions from doctor Zhou, Zhao Yan can only endure without changing his face. If it weren't for the obvious reaction there, Bai Chen would have suspected that Zhao Yan really had no desire for him.
Zhao Yan really tried to keep his thoughts and heart pure, but on the other side, Bai Chen kept making trouble.
Zhao Yan endured very hard to press down Bai Chen's erratic little hand. He lowered his head and bit Bai Chen's red lips. He quickly washed Bai Chen and took him out of the bath.
Bai Chen pouted in protest.
Zhao Yan cruelly ignored it.
After all the water on his body was wiped off by Zhao Yan and he helped Bai Chen put on his sleep clothes, Bai Chen snorted at Zhao Yan unhappily. He climbed off the bed, barefoot, he ran to the study room next to them.
Zhao Yan took the shoes that Bai Chen forgot to wear and went to look for him. He saw Bai Chen spreading out paper, then pouring water into the ink stone, preparing to grind ink.
Zhao Yan walked over, crouching beside Bai Chen. He reached out and grabbed one of Bai Chen's feet and held it in his palm.
The coolness he felt from his palm made his brows furrowed. "You are not allowed to go barefoot in the future. If you go barefoot again, I'll punish you."
Sitting on the chair, Bai Chen thought of his little butt that had been beaten in the past few worlds, he was a little timid.
When Bai Chen's feet were warmed, only then did Zhao Yan put the shoes and socks on Bai Chen's foot, then he did the same to the other foot.
When both feet were wearing shoes and socks, only then did Zhao Yan stand up to look at Bai Chen, who has already begun to write.
After observing for a while, Zhao Yan was a little doubtful: "What are you writing?"
Bai Chen looked up, somewhat proud: "This is for dad."
Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows.
Bai Chen snorted at Zhao Yan: "This is a medical book. Once every 3 or 4 days is not enough. I need to recover quickly."
When seeing those herbs, Bai Chen had an idea.
He has been to so many worlds, the system also absorbs the knowledge from various worlds, including medicine. Bai Chen was thinking, he could use the medical knowledge collected by the system to quickly recuperate his body.
That's why he was copying medical books now.
It's for his own benefit.
Doctor Zhou loves medicine, he surely will be happy when he sees these medical books too. This also benefits the other side.
The system in Bai Chen's body quickly searched its own database: [Little master, I also have a secret recipe for kidney strengthening, I'll transmit it to you.]
