Chapter 102: Growing Up (2/2)
Sometimes Xia Ye slept slightly and was a little aware, calling him twice in a low voice, and it took a while for the little guy to react, blinking and raising his head to look over, and whispered to his brother.
Xia Ye took him to the hospital specially to have a look, but they couldn’t find anything. After prescribing a lot of Chinese medicine, they came back and said that he needed to replenish qi and blood.
Tang Jinyu ate it, but it was too bitter, and he couldn't help but throw up in the bathroom.
Xia Ye's face grew heavy, looking at the dark bowl of Chinese medicine on the table like an enemy.
Xia Ye feels distressed for him, and feels that these things are of little use, worrying that the little guy would throw up everything in his stomach, and after consulting with the doctor, he changed these medicines to a medicated diet. Since he was at a developmental age, the effect of buying more good things to supplement was basically the same.
The taste of medicated food was much better. Every day, auntie would come with stew, and Xia Ye would supervise the little guy to make sure he drinks it three times a day, and waits until he finishes drinking it.
Tang Jinyu has a small appetite, and sometimes there was too much soup in the pot, and he can’t finish it, so he habitually gives it to his brother.
Xia Ye didn’t think much of it, but after drinking a small bowl of tonic soup on the first night, his body was hot and he couldn't help getting up twice in the middle of the night. The cold shower didn't help much. In the end, he slept alone in the study.
Since then, he hasn't touched the tonic soup in his brother's bowl, not even a single drop, and Tang Jinyu can't finish eating it, so he asked his aunt to thicken the soup while she was cooking, so that he could finish drinking.
In this way, Tang Jinyu could indeed finish the drink, but the effect of the food tonic also came out.
For the first time, Tang Jinyu was in a state of disrepair, descending into adolescence in this small apartment.
His body was worse than other children of the same age. The family has been taking good care of him over the years, but he still develops late. When the other boys had already taken a big step ahead, Tang Jinyu was still growing, but he was still a child to the core.
But it was different now.
After he woke up in bed, his entire face turned red while covering himself in a thin blanket, and he didn't know what to do.
While thinking about getting up quickly and changing his pajamas, he racked his brains to figure out how to wash and dry the sheets and blankets on his brother’s side without him knowing… He didn’t know where he soiled them last night, and now the tip of his nose was full of his smell, and he just wanted to find a place to hide, and hide away for half a month before he comes out.
The outside door was knocked twice, and Xia Ye's voice came over, ”Xiaoyu, can I go in?”
Tang Jinyu pressed the thin blanket tighter, ”Don't, don't come in! Brother, wait for me!”
Xia Ye has already unscrewed the door and pushed open a gap, ”You want to avoid drinking soup again, right? Today's soup is not bad, I've seen it, it's only Sydney Chuanbei.” He walked two steps forward, and suddenly the tip of his nose smelled something. After moving, he looked at the little guy on the bed with a weird expression, ”Are you…”
The heat on Tang Jinyu's face spread along, and even his neck was red, and his whole body was so hot that it was about to smoke, and he buried his head in the blanket.
The side of the bed sank a little, Xia Ye sat there raising his hand to touch the little guy's head, and coughed softly, ”It's okay, it's normal, it’s nothing to be ashamed about.”
The little guy in the thin blanket remained still, shrunk tighter, choosing to be a little ostrich.
Xia Ye looked up at the small cabinet beside the bed.
There was also a wet towel on the cabinet. Tang Jinyu had a low fever last night. Xia Ye wiped his body. At that time, he obviously didn't have much energy, and he didn't expect him to grow up overnight.
Xia Ye thought for a while and said, ”Do you know what's going on? Did your school talk to you about this in health class?”
The little guy in the blanket ears turned red, almost like dripping blood, and his skin was originally white. At this moment, he knew his body was hot without touching it, and he was so ashamed that he buried himself in his blanket.
”You want to me tell you…?”
”No need to.”
”Then do you know how to do it?”
”……know.”
After a long silence this time, Xia Ye's tone was puzzled: ”How do you know?”
”Oh, brother, don't ask! Anyway, I just know that already, you go out first and I will do it myself!”
